The central city library in my locality is my favourite library. This is a library which is run and funded by cthe Government and local officials and is a renowned library in our city. This is more than 100 years old and has a very rich collection of books, journals, reference books, novels and other reading materials. This library has recently introduced some digital formation and gives the facility to read books in electronic devices. Almost 200 people go to this library everyday and it offers a really quiet and calm environment for reading.
This library offers many benefits and the most important thing is about a library is that it comprises books that are main source of knowledge. This library has more than 20,000 books and people can easily find a book that might interest them or the books they were looking for. Students come here to take reference for their study materials and to take notes, the literacy lovers come to read novels and stories by world renowned writers, the regular members can take books to their home and thus can read in their free time. Time spent in a library is a wise investment and I feel that the contribution of this library towards making a literate and conscious generation is unmatched.
I often go to the library to read books that are in my "must read" list. Besides, this is a good place to take notes and to read and I often go there for my study purpose. As I am a subscribed member of this library, I can take books to my house and I usually return those books in every 4-5 days to take a new one.
There are lots of famous libraries in my country and in the world that I heard about and yet this is the very library that helped me grow my interest on extra-curricular reading habit. I have read books from this library that have greatly helped me and because of that, I like this library more than any other library in the world. Furthermore, the environment of reading, the staff, the arrangement of books, the rich collection and my easy access to this library make it my most favourite library.

一、考试说明
图书馆话题总体来说难度不大,考生向考官描述完自己常去的图书馆后,在第三部分里会围绕图书馆的作用和未来与其展开讨论。在“真题演练”部分native speaker描述的实际上是一个虚拟的图书馆(这一点从地址上可以看出来),语言平实易懂,举的例子很有普遍性。在“话题相关材料”部分,大家可以看到对大英图书馆和纽约公共图书馆的介绍,相信从中能发现更为专业和漂亮的语言。
二、真题演练
Describe a library that you often go to.
You should say:
what library it is
where it is /what the library looks like
what you do there
and explain why you like this library.
点题 There is a library near to my home where I like to go. It is called the Peoples' Library.
地点 It is located on First Avenue near Main Street. It is a very new building and has some beautiful urban sculpture standing on the grounds around it. The library has many floors. Each floor has different sections.
介绍 The firs time I went there I had to have a lot of help to find things but now I feel like it is my second home. When I go to the library I feel like I am leaving a lot of my worries and cares behind me, even if I have to go there to do some research or to study. I think that is because I know I can always find a quiet, private place where I can read or do my work. And sometimes if I want to travel to a different place or a different time, I can do that in the library by finding a book or something on the computer that will take me into another world.
活动 I am particularly interested in this library because it has a lot to offer. Besides having a good stock of books, it also provides office facilities such as a good copy machine, a book binder, many computers and printers, and much more. And it has very good service too. If you need a book in another library it will obtain that book for you by either shipping it from the other library or purchasing the book.
Part 3
Libraries
1. Do people in China often go to libraries?
I think people of all ages use the library. However I think students use the libraries more often than older people. I often see young children in the library but I think university students use the library the most frequently. In my opinion, the older generation use libraries the least. Some are too busy and others have no interest in books.
2. Even though it might cost a lot to maintain a library, do you think the government should open more public libraries?
On the one hand I think that it is very worthwhile to have plenty of libraries. On the other hand with the way technology is improving practically each day, it may be wiser to invest in making computers more accessible to more people. It is possible to go to a internet café and go online, but much of this time is spent on worthless computer games and watching movies. Establishing computer libraries and educating people how to use them beneficially might be s good idea.
3.Do you think public libraries should be free of charge?
It would be nice if libraries were free, but usually you have to pay a fee as well put down some kind of deposit. I don't think this is too unreasonable as people often do not appreciate things they get totally for free. If people know they can get their deposits back if they do not damage any books, then it makes them more careful. Of course the government should subsidize libraries so that the costs that people do have to pay are not exorbitant.
4.How do you think libraries will change in the future?
I can picture a future where computer technology will enable us to have easy access to all the resources a library provides. People may not even have to read. They can have the equipment needed to just listen to words being read to them. It may sound like fantasy, but with all the progress in technology I think it is very possible.
Improvement
5.What kind of skills do you think library staff should have?
I think library staff should always be very well informed as to where things are located in the library. This will enable them to help people to save time in finding what they need, which is a very big help in our busy times. I think they should be very courteous also as people who are using the library can often be under a lot of pressure and often need a lot of help. They may be under pressure because of an assignment they are working on or because they are unfamiliar with how the library works. Library staff should also be efficient and have organizational skills. They may have to take care of a lot of details and it would make things very difficult for those using the library if items were lost or difficult to find. Last but not least library staff should be patient. They may be faced with a myriad of requests each day and they will be unhappy and those using the library will be unhappy if the staff is frustrated, impolite or upset.
6. What can be done to make libraries more attractive?
I am interested in interior decorating and one thing I would recommend for libraries is to incorporate more neutral colors into the décor. I believe that nowadays libraries are decorated to use maximum space and reflect maximum light. Browns and other muted colors can create a warm atmosphere. Comfortable and attractive seats can also make the environment more inviting. Also I am in favor of having works of art in libraries. Not necessarily originals but good quality copies of famous artist's work are both attractive as well as educational.
7.How has internet affected and reduced the popularity of library that it used to possess?
Certainly the internet provides easy access to sources of information, although their validity should be suspect. However, there is nothing on the internet that replaces picking up an actual book and reading it. From my perspective, reading a book is a tactile experience which is perceptible to the sense of touch. Also books can be carried every where and read whenever you stop moving. Although I use the internet for a number of things, I have in my personal library about 3,000 reference books and I find things in them that I do not find on the internet. I augment this library with books from the library.

Describe a quiet place you visited
Describe a place that is quiet
You should say:
Where is it?
How long do you go there?
What did you do there?
1.适用人群:全适用
2.主题:公共图书馆
3.故事线:贵阳一座公共图书馆,建筑外观很迷人,除了可以阅读馆藏书,也可以付费存放私人藏书,是作者常去的地方。
Okay, there are just a few places that I know to be quiet. The reason is because nowadays there is just so much activity going on outside that it’s hard to find a place that is quiet. Anyway the place is the public library. This particular public library is located in the center of Guiyang near a McDonald's. Um-mm, the library was constructed seven years ago. And when it was finished it was a fascinating achievement. When talking about how often I go there I have to say that in recent years I’ve stopped going as often as I used to. When the library was new I probably showed up there once or twice a week. But, nowadays, I only get in there once or twice a month. But that’s because I’m busy with other things. When I go there I usually find a book that looks interesting. Then I take the book and sit myself down in a chair and begin reading. Well, finally I want to reveal the real reason I liked going there so much to begin with. So, the library has a rather cool feature where you are allowed to bring in your own books to read and if you are willing you can leave them there in a personal book shelf which you have to pay for of course. Actually I have so many books at home already so this service was very appealing to me. I still pay the monthly subscription to store my books there to this day. It's very cheap only 2 dollars per month. Anyway that's about it, should I mention anything else?

雅思口语:换题前的提分攻略
攒钱
Save money
Have you ever saved money for something?
Do you save money now?
How do you save money?
Do you think saving money is very important?
Do you think parents should teach children to save money?
Do parents give children pocket money in China?
回答第一问时, 重点必然不在于something,不论你攒钱买的是iPhone, iPad, 还是娃娃,都不是考官所关心的。而关键在于回答的时态,是学生们往往忽略掉的。比如问你曾经是否攒钱买过东西?买这个东西本身应该是过去时,那么请问“我前年攒了一年的钱,然后我去年买了个包”这个攒钱的过程应该是什么时态?
没错,过去完成时的使用也是很多学生在瞬间很难反应出来的。
you should say: “ Yes, of course. i remember that i had saved my pocket money for ages, then i bought it last years ....”
对于第二个问题是否喜欢攒钱,我们也完全可以说一些 (white lies) because you don’t have to tell the truth, 不必说“我从来不攒钱,because i am very very rich, hahahahaha....” 其实这一问的核心在于How? 我们应该尽量从这个角度出发去展开,但请大家的理由应该务必合理,之前就有学生编出“从来不吃饭,为了攒钱,走路不坐公交车,为了攒钱,即使坐公交车也投假币,为了攒钱。”
其实理由很多甚至完全可以延伸到自己擅长的领域,比如擅长cooking的话题,可以说“i'd like to save money by cooking at home and eating food at home instead of eating out...”
地图
Map
Do you often use map?
Who taught you how to use a map?
Do you prefer electronic maps or paper maps?
对于地图这个话题,其实在几年前就已经出现在雅思口语考试中了,建议大家纸质和电子地图的优点都准备一些,以防万一。
被考官问道“why do many people in China like to use another one?”对于这个话题可以说的点非常多,不要仅仅给出一个评价性的词汇“useful or convenient”,如电子地图的实时性“being updated all the time”和导航出最优路线“preferred route”。至于纸质地图大家也尽量回到生活中brainstorming一下,在旅游中手机low battery,no signal的时候是不是我们全靠纸质地图。
除此之外,让我更怀念曾经在留学期间旅游时,手机还没那么发达,Google map也没那么普遍,往往是一个人开车一个人看地图,难免会make mistakes,按理说这本应该是个缺点,但每一次的走错都会发现一个意外的地方,一场意外的惊喜(a serendipitous discovery)。
词典
dictionary
Do you ofen use a dictionary?
Do you prefer to use an electronic dictionary or a dictionary made of paper?
If someone gave you a dictionary as a gift,how would you feel?
Do you think it would be interesting to write a dictionary?
Do you think it would be interesting to be part of a team that is writing a dictionary?
What kind of person do you think writes a dictionary?
词典话题的答题思路和地图有很多相似点,比如纸质词典和电子词典的比较,同样我们不要用套路式的一句电子词典非常convenient,i use it every day.来草草了事,尽量可以展开和细化使用的过程。
比如“when i come across a word that i can't figure out,all i need to do is just click on the app,and type in the word i wish to look up…”
另外关于编写词典的人的问题,最好的参考资料就是我们雅思剑桥真题中那篇阅读文章《Johnson's dictionary》。
睡觉
Sleep
How many hours a day do you sleep?
Do you often go to sleep quite late?
Did you often go to bed very late when you were a child?
Do you think sleeping is important?
当很多同学听到睡觉这个话题时感觉除了时间以外没什么说的, 首先考官不是您的太医,不想知道到底几个小时,也不需要把什么insomnia这种疾病词汇往上招呼,更重要的是积累一些与睡眠相关的口语表达 “stay up so late, stay overnight” 并且适当扩充熬夜的原因,不要来不来就“我每天都熬夜学习,而且学的还是雅思...” 这么正能量的答案也不一定就能打动考官。
每天躺在床上我们有时可能会来回翻滚,应该叫辗转反侧 toss and turn for quite a while, 或者听一些 light music 或者敷一个面膜(mask)来帮助睡眠,这都是很好的答案和思路。
无聊
Being bored
What will you do when you feel bored?
When you were young,What would you do if you felt bored?
What kinds of things are boring to you?
Do you think young people get bored easily?
可能是因为咱们大陆的考生之前太喜欢回答“i don't like my subject,music,film,sport…because they are通通boring”,今年特意来了一个Being bored的话题给大家。
首先注意less common words的替换,如“rather dull,monotonous,mind -numbing TV shows”都体现词汇的多样性。并且对于“what would you do if you felt bored”我们也可以尽量转化到自己擅长的领域来回答,比如“i find shopping very therapeutic”“when i am getting bored,there is nothing like karaoke therapy”,还有包括“i prefer to have a more relaxing time on the…”
明星
Celebrity
Who is your favourite celebrity in China?
Would you like to be a celebrity in the future?
In general, how do people become famous?
Do you think, to be famous, a person needs to have some special talent or ability?
Do you think we should protect famous people’s privacy?
其实对于明星类的话题,同学们应该相对来说不是很陌生了。
不论明星的优点还是缺点,都尽量去解释细节化的原因,比如“想当明星因为他们rich, 那就要继续解释rich的原因可能是因为做了很多代言广告endorsement….”
反之,我们也尽量结合更多平时听到看到的真实的点来答,切忌不要现场瞎编,这种主动去思考观点的能力一直就是咱们学生的弱项,比如当明星的缺点,十个人有九个都会说no privacy, 然后就没有然后了,我们应该尽量去呈现“privacy”里面和背后的东西。比如明星经常被各种事吐槽being criticised all the time, 长得好看被骂整容cosmetic surgery, 衣冠不整being worst dressed 也会被抓拍。
手表
Watch
How often do you wear a watch?
What was your first watch like?
What kinds of watches do you like to wear?
Do people still wear watches in your country?
找一款能买的起的还好读的Apple watch, 而且功能多样it has various uses, it functions as a phone so you can make call and txt people。
最厉害的是还可以在健身房fitness suite里测身体耗能情况 “when i do cardio exercises, i can use it to keep track of how many calories i burn and how many steps i run”。
运动
Sports
Do you play any sport?
Do you like to watch sports on TV?
Do you have a favourite sports star?
What kinds of sports are popular in your country?
What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future?
运动类的话题已经是老生常谈了,在回答的时候我们可以从多个层次来说。
第一是运动的种类,如team sport, individual sport, water sport, X-sport, 虽然最后一种在国内不是非常的火,但是爱看Youtube的小伙伴们一定知道,国外很多极限运动爱好者an adrenalin junky(其中的adrenalin是肾上腺素的意思,在这里这个表达是一个习语,形容喜欢刺激活动的人)。
第二是运动对身体的外在的好处,细化来说比如塑形keep fit, 减掉小肚子lose my flabby belly, 练肌肉builds up muscles。
第三是运动对身体内在的好处,如加快新陈代谢speed up metabolism, 增强免疫力improves immune system 等。
课余时间
Spare time
What do you usually do in your spare time?
Do you like to spend time with your family or friends?
What do you and your family like to do in free time?
这种话题属于开放性问题,没有太强的限定性,自由度很高,大家注意保持串联,比如和音乐类、运动类、购物类话题都可以串联。
外国食品
Food/Foreign Food
Have you ever tried foreign food?
Do you like to try new food?
What kinds of new food have you tried recently?
What kinds of foreign food are popular in your country?
Do you think old people like foreign food? Why?
既然要出国,除了学语言,相应的文化尤其是饮食文化我们还是需要知道一些的,你可以不爱吃但是不能不懂。
很多人都钟爱意大利面(不是Italian noodle),但不知道有没有注意它的不同口味:
意大利肉酱面 Spaghetti Bolognese
千层面Lasagna Bolognese
奶油培根意面Spaghetti carbonara
西班牙海鲜饭Paella
