雅思口语话题范文:上学时的朋友 Describe a school friend you remember well. You should say: who this person was what he/she looked like how you became friends and explain why you remember this person so well. Sample Answer: The school friend I remember well is Sara. She’s not only my school friend, but also my best friend. I’ve known her since we were in middle school. She is of the same height with me, but thinner. With beautiful eyes and straight black hair, she’s really a pretty girl. We became friends because we were born on exactly the same day and we happened to hold the birthday party at the same KFC when we were 14. That day, we became friends. We’ve been friends for 7 years. I remember her so well because she is someone who is the exact personal mirror image of myself. We understand each other like soul mates. We were all young and rebellious and she understood my madness. She knows me better than I know myself at times, at the most critical times. She is who I want to call first when I feel I'm in crisis. Now, though we are in different cities, we still keep in touch with each by phone and email. Part 3 Are there any differences between childhood friends and friends in adulthood? Actually yes. First, a childhood friendship has innocence and there are easier ties to make with someone when you are younger. There are also easier ways to find things in common with another person when you are younger. When you’re older it’s kind of like having the safety net removed. Then, you can do something as a kid in a friendship and it’s either cute or brushed off. As an adult it’s a little harder because if something is misconstrued then even the most rational person can get upset. Which do you think is better, to have a large group of friends or just a few close friends? Definitely a few good friends. Less worry and problems to deal with. I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to close friends. I feel more comfortable hanging out with my small band of pals, and I know I can be myself and I trust them all implicitly. How is the way people make friends today different to the way people made friends years ago? Well, the way people make friends today is not much different from the way people used to. You meet someone and hang out with them and see if your personality clicks. Do you think it’s important (or necessary) to keep in contact with childhood friends? All I could think of is the song: ‘make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver but the other gold.’ Keeping old friends has shown to be a good stress reducer. Talking with an old friend and laughing at how things were is always great fun. When I talk with old friends, it feels so comfortable and great and it makes me feel warm all over. So I think it’s important to maintain childhood friends. Do most people change their friends when they grow up? I don’t think so. Like that cheesy saying “Make new friends, but keep the old." People maintain their childhood friend and at the same time, make new friends. With today’s advancements especially, it's so convenient to keep in touch. All of my best friends have moved away-- some as far as across the country. Yet we can still talk via e-mail and Instant Messenger and it doesn't seem like we're quite as far away. Some adults think that childhood was the best part of their lives. Why do they think that way? As a child, one can live, play, act, dream as he or she wants to and there are no responsibilities and worries. While being an adult, there’s so much pressure and less freedom, one can't do everything a kid can. Besides, memory is always sweet than reality, especially when the adults know that they would never go back to childhood, childhood seems more priceless. What methods do most people use to memorize things? The best way to memorize something depends on how you learn. If you are an auditory learner (learn by hearing) you might try doing flash cards or reciting things out loud. If you are a visual leaner (learn by seeing or doing) you might try writing what you need to memorize over and over. What do you think is the value of teaching history in school? History always helps us to understand the present about a person, society or nation. For example, history of the Egyptian, Indian and Chinese civilizations gives us a good idea of how people lived, worked or fought in wars in the past and how the world has progressed over the centuries. Take a passion to study history you will discover that many countries have so many amazing secrets, stories and knowledge to offer. And the past can in some way help us to predict about the future.
雅思口语话题范文:上学时的朋友的延伸阅读——雅思口语考试一次通关必看三大误区 误区一:考试过分紧张,不像交谈像受审。 请大家记住一点,雅思口语的考官和大家一样,都是平常人,尽管他们跟我们拥有者不同的瞳孔和肤色。但考试是他们的工作,你们是他们的customers,他们为考生提供服务。大可不必紧 张害羞,思维禁锢,眼神游离。考试时一定要注视考官,以示基本的尊重,如果实在觉得看着对方蓝幽幽的双眼说话很不自在,笔者建议可以看着考官的嘴巴说,诸君不妨一试。 误区二:不懂装懂,答非所问。 很多考生由于过分紧张,导致完全没有听懂考官的问题。这个时候不少经过常规雅思应试训练的考生便本能得开始使用hesitating expressions,表明自己并非没有听懂只是需要时间思考和组织答案。不幸的是,半分钟之后,你仍然带着僵硬的笑容不知所云。 误区三:使用范文回答,形同背诵。 还有部分考生考试前挑灯夜战,熟背答案范文,到考试时惊喜地遇到了“准背”过的话题,于是无比兴奋地将别人答案如数家珍地背出。要知道考官阅人无数,他们完全能分辨出你是在“recite”还是“talk”。雅思口语考试的问题没有正确答案,不要担心你的答案和主流观点不符,也不必担心考官是否认可。
