If you live in a city, a park is often the only place where you can escape from the noise and the traffic.IELTS Speaking: useful expressionsIn this lesson I want to draw your attention to a few useful expressions that I used in last week's answers.

An alternative way to say "and":- Just as individuals can learn from their mistakes, societies can (also)...- Just as we need to exercise the body, we also need to exercise the mind.2. A nice way to introduce a personal example or opinion:- From what I've read in the newspapers,...- From what I've heard / seen / experienced,...3.

However, students have reported some strange questions, such as:1.Do you like parks?2.Do you think different colours can change our moods?3.When do people give flowers in your country?Don't be shocked by these questions. Just give a simple answer with a reason. Don't worry about using fantastic grammar or vocabulary; just try to answer without hesitating. For example:1.Yes, I like parks because they are great places to relax. I think all cities need green areas.2.Yes, I think bright colours, like red, can make you feel energetic. Some greens and blues canbe more relaxing.3.People give flowers on special occasions like birthdays or on Valentine's Day. In my country,giving flowers is seen as romantic.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'friends' topicIn part 1 of the IELTS speaking test, remember to keep your answers short and simple. Here are some example questions and short answers:1. Are your friends mostly your age or different ages?Most of my friends are about the same age as me because we met at school or university. I've got one or two friends who are older or younger that I met through work.2. Do you usually see your friends during the week or at weekends?I tend to meet up with my friends at weekends because everyone's too busy during the week.3. The last time you saw your friends, what did you do together?It was one of my friends' birthday last weekend. Six of us went out for a meal to celebrate.4. In what ways are your friends important to you?I think it's important to have friends that you can talk to and share experiences with. My friends make me laugh, but I know I can also rely on them whenever I need help or support.IELTS Speaking Part 1: travel habitsRemember that Part 1 questions are supposed to be easy. Just give a simple answer and a reason.1. What form of transport do you prefer to use? Why?I prefer to travel by car because it means that I have my own space. Also, the buses and trains in my city are usually overcrowded; my car is much more comfortable.2. How much time do you spend travelling on a normal day?I probably spend about an hour and a half travelling to and from work. I travel during the rush hours, so there is quite a lot of traffic.3. What do you do while you are travelling?I usually listen to the radio or a CD. In the morning I like to listen to the news to find out what is happening in the world.4. Do you ever have problems with transport?Yes, as I said, I get stuck in traffic on my way to and from work. I used to get annoyed by traffic jams, but now I'm used to them.A few important points:•In the answer to question 4, can you see the difference between "I used to" and "I'm used to"?•Notice the good vocabulary: 'have my own space', 'overcrowded', 'to and from work', 'rush hour', 'find out what is happening in the world', 'get stuck in traffic'.•If the examiner asks a question that you have already answered, just say "as I said" and repeat your answer.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'communication' topic1. How do you usually keep in touch with members of your family?I mostly keep in touch with my family by phone, and I've started using the Internet to make video calls. I also try to visit members of my family in person as often as I can.2. Do you prefer to speak to people by phone or by writing emails?It depends on the situation. I use email and text messages to communicate with friends, but my parents prefer it if I phone them.3. Do you ever write letters by hand? (Why / Why not?)No, I don't write letters by hand because it's so much easier to send an email that will arrive immediately.4. Is there anything you dislike about mobile phones?Well, I don't like listening to other people's conversations in public places, and I don't like it when someone's phone rings in the cinema or during a lessonIELTS Speaking Part 1: clothes1. Are clothes and clothing fashions important to you? (Why/Why not?)No, clothes and fashions are not really important to me. I tend to wear clothes that are comfortable and practical rather than fashionable.2. What different clothes do you wear for different situations?Well, I have to dress quite formally for work, so I wear a shirt and trousers. At home I prefer to wear jeans and a T-shirt, and on special occasions I might wear a suit.3. Do you wear different styles of clothes now compared to 10 years ago?No, not really, because I don't follow fashion. I think I have dressed in a similar way for the last 10 years.4. Do you think the clothes we wear say something about who we are?Yes, they probably do. Some people are really careful about what they wear because they want to be seen as stylish. Other people wear clothes that show wealth or status, such as clothes by famous designersIELTS Speaking Part 1: 'reading' topic1. Do you like reading?Yes, I like reading a lot. I read all sorts of things, including novels, newspapers, magazines, and online articles.2. Do you usually read for leisure or for work purposes?Well, I have to do a certain amount of reading as part of my job, but I probably read more for enjoyment. I pick up a newspaper most days, and I usually have a book on the go.3. What was your favourite book or story when you were a child?The first book that I remember really enjoying was The Hobbit. It only took me a few days to read because I liked it so much that I couldn't put it down.4. Do you think it's important that children read regularly?Definitely. I think reading is possibly the most important skill that children learn. The ability to read opens the door to all aspects of education.IELTS Speaking Part 1: laughingThe following questions are taken from Cambridge IELTS 7, page 55. The aim in part 1 is to give short, simple answers. Don't worry about using 'difficult' grammar.1. What kinds of thing make you laugh?I laugh most when I'm with friends talking about funny things that have happened to us. I also like watching comedians and comedy films.2. Do you like making other people laugh?Yes, it's a nice feeling when you can make someone laugh because you can see that you've made them happy. It's great to share a funny moment with someone.3. Do you think it's important for people to laugh?Yes, of course. It's important to see the funny side of things; humour helps us not to take life too seriously. I think that laughter is good for our health.4. Is laughing the same as feeling happy?It's not exactly the same because you can be happy without laughing, and sometimes we laugh when something bad has happened; a sense of humour can help us to cope with difficult situations.IELTS Speaking Part 1: musical instrumentsFor IELTS speaking part 1, remember to give short, simple answers. Answer the question with a full sentence and give a reason for your answer. Here are some example questions and answers about musical instruments (from Cambridge IELTS book 6):1. Which musical instrument do you like listening to most? (Why?)My favourite musical instrument to listen to is the guitar. I like the fact that there are different types of guitar, like classical, acoustic and electric. I love the variety of sounds a guitar can make.2. Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?I took some guitar lessons when I was younger and still have a guitar at home. I don't play it much nowadays. I wish I had more time to practise.3. Do you think children should learn to play an instrument at school?Yes, I think it's a great skill and it's really enjoyable to be able to play a musical instrument. All children should be given this opportunity.4. How easy would it be to learn to play an instrument without a teacher?It would probably be more difficult without a teacher. You need someone to show you what to do and correct your mistakes. You need a lot of discipline to teach yourself.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'telephoning' topicHere are some part 1 questions and sample answers from Cambridge IELTS book 9. Remember to make your part 1 answers short and simple. Just give a direct answer, followed by a reason or one extra piece of information.1. How often do you make telephone calls?I probably make three or four phone calls every day, usually just to make arrangements with work colleagues or to speak to family and friends.2. Who do you spend most time talking to on the telephone?I think it would be one of my closest work colleagues. We often call each other rather than meeting face-to-face.3. When do you think you'll next make a telephone call?My family are expecting me to phone them as soon as I finish this exam. They'll want to know how it went.4. Do you sometimes prefer to send a text message instead of telephoning?Yes. I prefer to send a text message when I'm arranging something simple, like a time to meet someone. In those situations, a phone call isn't necessary.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'numbers' topicOne of my students had these questions in her exam last week. I've put an example answer below each one.1) Do you have a favourite number or a number that is special to you?Yes, my favourite number is... because it's the day I was born on, and it's my lucky number.2) Do any numbers have special importance in your country?Yes, certain ages are special. For example, your 18th birthday is important because it's when you are considered to become an adult.3) Are you good at remembering numbers? Why / why not?No, I'm not very good at remembering numbers. I don't think it's necessary to learn them by heart;I just save them on my phone.4) What numbers do people often have to memorise?The most important number to remember on a daily basis is the pin number for your bank card. Without this you can't pay for anything or get cash out.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'toys' topic1) Did you play with toys when you were a child?Yes, of course. I loved playing with toys when I was a child; I think all children do.2) What kinds of toys did you like?As far as I remember, I mostly played with toy cars, planes and action figures from films or cartoons. I also liked building things with Lego.3) In your country, do boys and girls play with the same types of toys?Not really. I think boys like the kinds of toys that I mentioned before, whereas girls play with dolls. My niece, for example, doesn't like toy cars; she prefers dressing dolls in different outfits.4) Do you think that toys help children to learn?Yes, I do. All toys encourage children to use their imagination and creativity. Even with simple toys, children imagine situations and invent games and rules.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'neighbours' topicI've recently bought Cambridge IELTS book 8. Below are some questions and example answers from the first speaking test in the book. Remember that part 1 is supposed to be easy, so you should give short, direct answers.1. How well do you know your next-door neighbours?I know my neighbours quite well. They're really nice people, and I always stop to talk whenever I see them. I think it's important to get on well with the people who live next door.2. How often do you see them?I see my neighbours at least a few times a week. We usually see each other when we're leaving for work in the morning or coming home in the evening.3. What problems do people sometimes have with their neighbours?I think the most common problem is probably noise. It's difficult to live next to people who have a dog that barks at night, or who play loud music or have too many parties.IELTS Speaking Part 1: home townHere are some part 1 questions and answers on the topic of 'home town'. Try changing the answers to similar ones about your own town or city. Keep your answers short, simple and direct.1. Where are you from?I'm from Manchester, which is a city in the north west of England.2. Do you like your home town? (Why?)Yes, I like living in Manchester because it's where most of my friends live, and because there are plenty of things to do there. The only thing I don't like is the weather.3. Would you prefer to live somewhere else? (Why?)For the moment I'm happy living here, but at some point I'd like to live in a country with a warmer climate, and I'd like to live near a beach!4. Do you think your home town is a good place for young people? (Why?)Yes, Manchester has lots of things for young people, such as sports facilities, music and cinemas.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'accommodation' topicHere are some questions that I found on the official IELTS website, . The answers below are my examples. Remember to keep your part 1 answers short and simple. You don't need to show off in part 1.1. Tell me about the kind of accommodation you live in.I live in a house that has a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a small garden. It's not a very big house, but it's just right for me.2. How long have you lived there?I've lived there for about five years. It's the first house that I've owned; before that I was renting an apartment.3. What do you like about living there?I like living there because I think the house reflects my personality: I decorated it myself, I chose all the furniture, and everything is where I want it to be.4. What sort of accommodation would you most like to live in?If I could, I'd buy a bigger house near a beach or in the mountains, preferably somewhere with a warm climateIELTS Speaking Part 1: giving negative answersIt's fine to give negative answers in part 1 of the speaking test. Here are some example negative answers for people who don't like sport:1. What sports or physical activities do you regularly do?Unfortunately I don't have time to do any sports or physical activities because of my work commitments. I'd like to find more time for regular exercise.2. Which sport or game would you like to be good at?I'd like to be good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit the ball as hard as you can and watch it land exactly where you wanted it to.3. Do you prefer watching or playing sports?I don't watch much sport on TV and I'm not a big sports fan, so I think I would probably enjoy doing sports more than watching them.4. Do you think children should be encouraged to do more sport?Yes, I think that sport is really important for children. Sports and games teach children to play together and try their best.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'cooking' topicHere are some recent part 1 questions, with my example answers.1. Do you like cooking? Why / why not?Sometimes I like preparing a special meal for family or friends who visit, but everyday cooking is a bit boring; it's something that has to be done, but it's not really fun.2. Who did the cooking in your family when you were a child?My mother almost always did the cooking when I was young. I don't think she trusted my father to make a nice meal.3. Do you think that it's important to know how to cook well?I'm not sure whether it's important to cook well,but I do think that everyone should know the basics. It definitely isn't healthy to rely on pre-prepared meals or fast food.4. Do you think that children should be taught cookery at school?Yes, that's probably a good idea. If all children knew how to cook a few basic, healthy meals, that would surely be a good thing.IELTS Speaking Part 1: emails and handwritingAt work or in your studies, do you often write things?Yes, I write a lot of emails as part of my job. I work for a company that has offices in several countries, so we use email to communicate.How often do you send e-mails?I probably write between 5 and 10 work emails every day, and I send emails to friends or family a few times a week.Do you prefer to write by hand or on a computer?It depends what I’m doing. I prefer the computer for most things because it’s faster and you can save or copy things, but I still like making notes or writing ideas down by hand.Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?No, I think we will always write by hand as well. I think it’s an important skill, and schools will continue to teach children to write by hand before they learn to type.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'walking' topicRemember to keep your part 1 answers short and 'to the point'. Here are my example answers for some questions about walking:1. Do you like walking?I'm not one for going on really long walks in the countryside, but I don't mind walking when I'm in a town or city, for example when I'm sightseeing in a new place.2. Do you think walking is important?Yes, I think it's important to be active, and walking is the most basic physical activity that we can do.3. Do you think walking in the countryside is better than walking in the city?Personally, no. As I said before, I like walking in the city, especially if it's somewhere with a lot of history like London or Paris. I've done quite a lot of walking in those cities.4. What could be done to improve the experience of walking in cities?I suppose the main issues are space and safety. Pavements need to be wide enough to accommodate lots of pedestrians, and we need safe places to cross the street.IELTS Speaking: if you don't know what to sayIn Sunday's lesson I suggested answering in the following way if you don't know what to say:"Well, I don't really know much about... because..., but I suppose..."In other words, you admit that you don't really know what to say, you explain why, then you invent an answer anyway. Let's try using the formula above with an example.Question:What kinds of jobs might stop when the season changes?Answer:Well, I don't really know much about seasonal jobs because everyone works all year round where I live, but I suppose that some jobs related to tourism must stop at the end of the summer holiday period.IELTS Speaking Part 2: event in historyOne of the most important and shocking events in history is the 9/11 terrorist attacks.This event took place on the East coast of the US on September 11, 2001 and it consisted of a series of suicide attacks conducted by a group of terrorists. These terrorists hijacked commercial airplanes and directed them into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center buildings in New York City. Part of the Pentagon was damaged, but both Twin Towers collapsed and were fully destroyed. Because of these attacks, thousands of innocent people were injured and killed.I think this event really has had an effect on many people's lives, especially Americans because it was like a direct hit into their hearts. Since the attacks, the security at airports, government buildings, and popular public places has become extremely tight and that somehow has caused inconvenience on our daily lives. For example, if we want to travel by plane, we must get to the airport 2 or 3 hours before the flight in order to go through all the security check points.All in all, I think the 9/11 attacks is an important event in the history of mankind because it showed how a country was able to rebuild and recover despite all the grief.IELTS Speaking Part 2: old building1.I'm going to describe a very famous building in New York: the Empire State Building.People might not think of it as an old building, but the Empire State Building was built in1931, so I don't think it can be classed as new. It's located on Manhattan island and it'sprobably the most distinctive and recognisable building when you look at New York'sskyline.2.As far as I know, the Empire State Building is an office building, but visitors can go up to anobservation deck on the top floor, which is the 102nd floor. There's also a 360-degreeobservation area on the 86th floor. Apparently, the building makes more money from thesale of tickets to the observation floors than it does from office rentals.3.I think the Empire State Building is still one of the most impressive skyscrapers in the world.It's such an iconic structure, and it's amazing to think that it was built around 80 years ago.The best thing about the building is the viewing deck on the top floor, which offersspectacular views of the city; it's definitely the best vantage point in New York. I'drecommend anyone who visits the city to go there and experience the view.Today I want to talk about an old building, which is a Buddhist temple situated in the suburbs of Kaohsiung City in the southern part of Taiwan. I'm not sure when this temple was built, but it indeed looks very old... my guess is that it should have at least 100 years old.This temple is actually quite small compared to others but it is a very popular one among Kaohsiung residents because it is believed that miracles happen when you devote yourself in this religion. For this specific reason, many believers go on a frequent basis to pray for good health and prosperity.During the last Chinese New Year celebration, I had the chance to visit this temple and this place was surely packed! We had to make long lines just to see the image of Buddha and the different gods. I remember that the entire building was very colorful and we could also see lots of figurines aligned on the interior walls.I like the building itself because its appearance is very traditional and pretty well preserved. But most importantly, it is rich in historical value. However, I actually didn't enjoy my last visit because it was way too crowded, it was a rainy day, and things were quite chaotic.IELTS Speaking Part 2: 'difficult' questionsDescribe a law in your country.Many students think they don't know anything about laws. However, there are some easy examples that they could choose:1.In many countries it is now illegal to use a mobile phone while driving. You could start bytalking about the popularity and benefits of mobile phones, and explain that people want to be able to answer calls wherever they are. Then you could explain the dangers of beingdistracted while driving; this law could reduce the number of road accidents, and thereforesave lives.2.If you feel confident talking about the 'education' topic, you could choose the 'compulsoryeducation' law. This is the legal requirement that children up to a certain age must attendschool. In the UK, for example, children are required by law to continue in education untilthey are 16 years old. This is a good topic because you can talk about the benefits ofeducation.Of course, you could choose a more obvious law (it is illegal to steal, carry a gun etc.) but you might have more ideas and good vocabulary if you choose a typical IELTS topic like number 2 above. IELTS Speaking Part 2: describe a vehicleDescribe a vehicle you would like to buy in the future. You should say•what kind of vehicle it is•what you would use it for•and why you would like to buy it.Here's my sample answer:•If I had the money, I’d like to buy my own helicopter. I recently saw a TV programme about someone who flew around in his own helicopter, and I remember thinking that itwould be great to have one. The helicopter on the programme was a small, blue, two-seaterand it seemed quite easy to fly - that's the kind of thing I'd like to buy.•Ideally, I’d use my helicopter instead of a car. First, I’d need to learn to fly it, but then I’d use it to go on short trips or holidays. It would be fantastic to be able to avoid trafficjams, and get everywhere in a fraction of the time it normally takes. I’d ta ke friends andfamily sightseeing, over cities or mountain tops, and maybe I could even use it to do theshopping!•The reason I’d like to buy a helicopter is that you can park one almost anywhere. You don’t need to find a runway or an airport like you would for a plane. So I’d be able topark my helicopter in my garden - if I had a bigger garden. Also, I’ve always been intrigued by those helipads on the tops of tall buildings - I think it would be fun to land on top of abuilding. A helicopter probably isn’t a realistic choice of vehicle, but you never know - Imight win the lottery!If I were a billionaire and had the money, I would like to buy a spaceship for my own space exploration adventures.Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be an astronaut. So having my personal spacecraft will be able to fulfill my childhood dreams. I would use my spacecraft to travel to different planets and hopefully be able to discover a habitable place where humans can live in the future. I think this could be a huge contribution to mankind as we know that our Earth's environment has been deteriorating to some extent.Anyway, the spaceship I want is one that doesn't need huge rockets, but one that has enough power and technology to transport me to outer space and bring me back to Earth safely without any problems. As for the size, something like NASA's space shuttles will work because they provide enough room to bring family and friends along.Also, since photography is one of my hobbies, taking pictures of the different celestial bodies and objects would be a really fascinating experience.All in all, although this may seem very unrealistic, I think humans will eventually come up with a vehicle like this and I'm sure it will revolutionize the concept of space travel.。

1. Do you like shopping?No, not really. Shopping is hard for me! Sometimes I spent the whole day in a mall, and I ended up wasting hours with nothing back home.2. Would you like to work in a shop?No, I’m not interested in retail at all. You never know how difficult some customers can be dealt with. I honestly don’t like to deal with that.3. Do you like shopping on the internet?Yes, I have bought tons of things from the Internet since the first time I used it for shopping. It’s fast and convenient, I totally love it!4. When do you usually go shopping?I only shop when there is a festival coming up, like spring festival or Christmas. That’s the time when I could get lots of goods’ discount.5. Do you prefer shopping in big stores or small shops?It depends on what I want to buy. So if it’s just some grocery, I’d like to go to a big store where I can pick up almost everything on my shopping list. If I’m going to buy some clothes, I’d probably go to a boutique.6. What do you usually buy when you go shopping?Actually I only buy some groceries and food when I go shopping in the nearby supermarket. I get other things like outfits, electronic devices, and books from the online store.7. Do you spend much when you go shopping?I usually don’t intend to spend much money when I go shopping because I believe that purchasing things from the concrete stores are definitely more expensive than the online store. Therefore I always just buy some necessities from the local supermarket.。

Just give a simple answer and a reason.1. What form of transport do you prefer to use? Why?I prefer to travel by car because it means that I have my own space. Also, the buses and trains in my city are usually overcrowded; my car is much more comfortable.2. How much time do you spend travelling on a normal day?I probably spend about an hour and a half travelling to and from work. I travel during the rush hours, so there is quite a lot of traffic.3. What do you do while you are travelling?I usually listen to the radio or a CD. In the morning I like to listen to the news to find out what is happening in the world.4. Do you ever have problems with transport?Yes, as I said, I get stuck in traffic on my way to and from work. I used to get annoyed by traffic jams, but now I'm used to them.A few important points:In the answer to question 4, can you see the difference between "I used to" and "I'm used to"?Notice the good vocabulary: 'have my own space', 'overcrowded', 'to and from work', 'rush hour', 'find out what is happening in the world', 'get stuck in traffic'.If the examiner asks a question that you have already answered, just say "as I said" and repeat your answer.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'communication' topic1. How do you usually keep in touch with members of your family?I mostly keep in touch with my family by phone, and I've started using the Internet to make video calls. I also try to visit members of my family in person as often as I can.2. Do you prefer to speak to people by phone or by writing emails?It depends on the situation. I use email and text messages to communicate with friends, but my parents prefer it if I phone them.3. Do you ever write letters by hand? (Why / Why not?)No, I don't write letters by hand because it's so much easier to send an email that will arrive immediately.4. Is there anything you dislike about mobile phones?Well, I don't like listening to other people's conversations in public places, and I don't like it when someone's phone rings in the cinema or during a lesson IELTS Speaking Part 1: clothes1. Are clothes and clothing fashions important to you? (Why/Why not?) No, clothes and fashions are not really important to me. I tend to wear clothes that are comfortable and practical rather than fashionable.2. What different clothes do you wear for different situations?Well, I have to dress quite formally for work, so I wear a shirt and trousers. At home I prefer to wear jeans and a T-shirt, and on special occasions I might wear a suit.3. Do you wear different styles of clothes now compared to 10 years ago?No, not really, because I don't follow fashion. I think I have dressed ina similar way for the last 10 years.4. Do you think the clothes we wear say something about who we are? Yes, they probably do. Some people are really careful about what they wear because they want to be seen as stylish. Other people wear clothes that show wealth or status, such as clothes by famous designersIELTS Speaking Part 1: 'reading' topic1. Do you like reading?Yes, I like reading a lot. I read all sorts of things, including novels, newspapers, magazines, and online articles.2. Do you usually read for leisure or for work purposes?Well, I have to do a certain amount of reading as part of my job, but I probably read more for enjoyment. I pick up a newspaper most days, and I usually havea book on the go.3. What was your favourite book or story when you were a child?The first book that I remember really enjoying was The Hobbit. It only took me a few days to read because I liked it so much that I couldn't put it down.4. Do you think it's important that children read regularly?Definitely. I think reading is possibly the most important skill that children learn. The ability to read opens the door to all aspects of education.IELTS Speaking Part 1: laughingThe following questions are taken from Cambridge IELTS 7, page 55. The aim in part 1 is to give short, simple answers. Don't worry about using'difficult' grammar.1. What kinds of thing make you laugh?I laugh most when I'm with friends talking about funny things that have happened to us. I also like watching comedians and comedy films.2. Do you like making other people laugh?Yes, it's a nice feeling when you can make someone laugh because you can see that you've made them happy. It's great to share a funny moment with someone.3. Do you think it's important for people to laugh?Yes, of course. It's important to see the funny side of things; humour helps us not to take life too seriously. I think that laughter is good for our health.4. Is laughing the same as feeling happy?It's not exactly the same because you can be happy without laughing, and sometimes we laugh when something bad has happened; a sense of humour can help us to cope with difficult situations.IELTS Speaking Part 1: musical instrumentsFor IELTS speaking part 1, remember to give short, simple answers. Answer the question with a full sentence and give a reason for your answer. Here are some example questions and answers about musical instruments (from Cambridge IELTS book 6):1. Which musical instrument do you like listening to most? (Why?)My favourite musical instrument to listen to is the guitar. I like the fact that there are different types of guitar, like classical, acoustic and electric. I love the variety of sounds a guitar can make.2. Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?I took some guitar lessons when I was younger and still have a guitar at home.I don't play it much nowadays. I wish I had more time to practise.3. Do you think children should learn to play an instrument at school? Yes, I think it's a great skill and it's really enjoyable to be able to play a musical instrument. All children should be given this opportunity.4. How easy would it be to learn to play an instrument without a teacher? It would probably be more difficult without a teacher. You need someone to show you what to do and correct your mistakes. You need a lot of discipline to teach yourself.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'telephoning' topicHere are some part 1 questions and sample answers from Cambridge IELTS book 9. Remember to make your part 1 answers short and simple. Just give a direct answer, followed by a reason or one extra piece of information.1. How often do you make telephone calls?I probably make three or four phone calls every day, usually just to make arrangements with work colleagues or to speak to family and friends.2. Who do you spend most time talking to on the telephone?I think it would be one of my closest work colleagues. We often call each other rather than meeting face-to-face.3. When do you think you'll next make a telephone call?My family are expecting me to phone them as soon as I finish this exam. They'll want to know how it went.4. Do you sometimes prefer to send a text message instead of telephoning?Yes. I prefer to send a text message when I'm arranging something simple, like a time to meet someone. In those situations, a phone call isn't necessary.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'numbers' topicOne of my students had these questions in her exam last week. I've put an example answer below each one.1) Do you have a favourite number or a number that is special to you? Yes, my favourite number is... because it's the day I was born on, and it's my lucky number.2) Do any numbers have special importance in your country?Yes, certain ages are special. For example, your 18th birthday is important because it's when you are considered to become an adult.3) Are you good at remembering numbers? Why / why not?No, I'm not very good at remembering numbers. I don't think it's necessary to learn them by heart; I just save them on my phone.4) What numbers do people often have to memorise?The most important number to remember on a daily basis is the pin number for your bank card. Without this you can't pay for anything or get cash out.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'toys' topic1) Did you play with toys when you were a child?Yes, of course. I loved playing with toys when I was a child; I think all children do.2) What kinds of toys did you like?As far as I remember, I mostly played with toy cars, planes and action figures from films or cartoons. I also liked building things with Lego.3) In your country, do boys and girls play with the same types of toys? Not really. I think boys like the kinds of toys that I mentioned before, whereas girls play with dolls. My niece, for example, doesn't like toy cars; she prefers dressing dolls in different outfits.4) Do you think that toys help children to learn?Yes, I do. All toys encourage children to use their imagination and creativity. Even with simple toys, children imagine situations and invent games and rules.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'neighbours' topicI've recently bought Cambridge IELTS book 8. Below are some questions and example answers from the first speaking test in the book. Remember that part 1 is supposed to be easy, so you should give short, direct answers.1. How well do you know your next-door neighbours?I know my neighbours quite well. They're really nice people, and I always stop to talk whenever I see them. I think it's important to get on well with the people who live next door.2. How often do you see them?I see my neighbours at least a few times a week. We usually see each other when we're leaving for work in the morning or coming home in the evening.3. What problems do people sometimes have with their neighbours?I think the most common problem is probably noise. It's difficult to live next to people who have a dog that barks at night, or who play loud music or have too many parties.IELTS Speaking Part 1: home townHere are some part 1 questions and answers on the topic of 'home town'. Try changing the answers to similar ones about your own town or city. Keep your answers short, simple and direct.1. Where are you from?I'm from Manchester, which is a city in the north west of England.2. Do you like your home town? (Why?)Yes, I like living in Manchester because it's where most of my friends live, and because there are plenty of things to do there. The only thing I don't like is the weather.3. Would you prefer to live somewhere else? (Why?)For the moment I'm happy living here, but at some point I'd like to live ina country with a warmer climate, and I'd like to live near a beach!4. Do you think your home town is a good place for young people? (Why?) Yes, Manchester has lots of things for young people, such as sports facilities, music and cinemas.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'accommodation' topicHere are some questions that I found on the official IELTS website, . The answers below are my examples. Remember to keep your part 1 answers short and simple. You don't need to show off in part 1.1. Tell me about the kind of accommodation you live in.I live in a house that has a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a small garden. It's not a very big house, but it's just right for me.2. How long have you lived there?I've lived there for about five years. It's the first house that I've owned; before that I was renting an apartment.3. What do you like about living there?I like living there because I think the house reflects my personality: I decorated it myself, I chose all the furniture, and everything is where I want it to be.4. What sort of accommodation would you most like to live in?If I could, I'd buy a bigger house near a beach or in the mountains, preferably somewhere with a warm climateIELTS Speaking Part 1: giving negative answersIt's fine to give negative answers in part 1 of the speaking test. Here are some example negative answers for people who don't like sport:1. What sports or physical activities do you regularly do?Unfortunately I don't have time to do any sports or physical activities because of my work commitments. I'd like to find more time for regular exercise.2. Which sport or game would you like to be good at?I'd like to be good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit the ball as hard as you can and watch it land exactly where you wanted it to.3. Do you prefer watching or playing sports?I don't watch much sport on TV and I'm not a big sports fan, so I think I would probably enjoy doing sports more than watching them.4. Do you think children should be encouraged to do more sport?Yes, I think that sport is really important for children. Sports and games teach children to play together and try their best.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'cooking' topicHere are some recent part 1 questions, with my example answers.1. Do you like cooking? Why / why not?Sometimes I like preparing a special meal for family or friends who visit, but everyday cooking is a bit boring; it's something that has to be done, but it's not really fun.2. Who did the cooking in your family when you were a child?My mother almost always did the cooking when I was young. I don't think she trusted my father to make a nice meal.3. Do you think that it's important to know how to cook well?I'm not sure whether it's important to cook well,but I do think that everyone should know the basics. It definitely isn't healthy to rely on pre-prepared meals or fast food.4. Do you think that children should be taught cookery at school?Yes, that's probably a good idea. If all children knew how to cook a few basic, healthy meals, that would surely be a good thing.IELTS Speaking Part 1: emails and handwritingAt work or in your studies, do you often write things?Yes, I write a lot of emails as part of my job. I work for a company that has offices in several countries, so we use email to communicate.How often do you send e-mails?I probably write between 5 and 10 work emails every day, and I send emails to friends or family a few times a week.Do you prefer to write by hand or on a computer?It depends what I’m doing. I prefer the computer for most things because it’s faster and you can save or copy things, but I still like making notes or writing ideas down by hand.Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?No, I think we will always write by hand as well. I think it’s an important skill, and schools will continue to teach children to write by hand before they learn to type.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'walking' topicRemember to keep your part 1 answers short and 'to the point'. Here are my example answers for some questions about walking:1. Do you like walking?I'm not one for going on really long walks in the countryside, but I don't mind walking when I'm in a town or city, for example when I'm sightseeing in a new place.2. Do you think walking is important?Yes, I think it's important to be active, and walking is the most basic physical activity that we can do.3. Do you think walking in the countryside is better than walking in the city?Personally, no. As I said before, I like walking in the city, especially if it's somewhere with a lot of history like London or Paris. I've done quitea lot of walking in those cities.4. What could be done to improve the experience of walking in cities?I suppose the main issues are space and safety. Pavements need to be wide enough to accommodate lots of pedestrians, and we need safe places to cross the street.IELTS Speaking: if you don't know what to sayIn Sunday's lesson I suggested answering in the following way if you don't know what to say:"Well, I don't really know much about... because..., but I suppose..."In other words, you admit that you don't really know what to say, you explain why, then you invent an answer anyway. Let's try using the formula above with an example.Question:What kinds of jobs might stop when the season changes?Answer:Well, I don't really know much about seasonal jobs because everyone works all year round where I live, but I suppose that some jobs related to tourism must stop at the end of the summer holiday period.IELTS Speaking Part 2: event in historyOne of the most important and shocking events in history is the 9/11 terrorist attacks.This event took place on the East coast of the US on September 11, 2001 and it consisted of a series of suicide attacks conducted by a group of terrorists. These terrorists hijacked commercial airplanes and directed them into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center buildings in New York City. Part of the Pentagon was damaged, but both Twin Towers collapsed and were fully destroyed. Because of these attacks, thousands of innocent people were injured and killed.I think this event really has had an effect on many people's lives, especially Americans because it was like a direct hit into their hearts. Since the attacks, the security at airports, government buildings, and popular public places has become extremely tight and that somehow has caused inconvenience on our daily lives. For example, if we want to travel by plane, we must getto the airport 2 or 3 hours before the flight in order to go through all the security check points.All in all, I think the 9/11 attacks is an important event in the history of mankind because it showed how a country was able to rebuild and recover despite all the grief.IELTS Speaking Part 2: old building1.I'm going to describe a very famous building in New York: the EmpireState Building. People might not think of it as an old building, but the Empire State Building was built in 1931, so I don't think it can be classed as new. It's located on Manhattan island and it's probably the most distinctive and recognisable building when you look at New York's skyline.2.As far as I know, the Empire State Building is an office building, butvisitors can go up to an observation deck on the top floor, which is the 102nd floor. There's also a 360-degree observation area on the 86th floor. Apparently, the building makes more money from the sale oftickets to the observation floors than it does from office rentals.3.I think the Empire State Building is still one of the most impressiveskyscrapers in the world. It's such an iconic structure, and it'samazing to think that it was built around 80 years ago. The best thing about the building is the viewing deck on the top floor, which offersspectacular views of the city; it's definitely the best vantage point in New York. I'd recommend anyone who visits the city to go there and experience the view.Today I want to talk about an old building, which is a Buddhist temple situated in the suburbs of Kaohsiung City in the southern part of Taiwan. I'm not sure when this temple was built, but it indeed looks very old... my guess is that it should have at least 100 years old.This temple is actually quite small compared to others but it is a very popular one among Kaohsiung residents because it is believed that miracles happen when you devote yourself in this religion. For this specific reason, many believers go on a frequent basis to pray for good health and prosperity. During the last Chinese New Year celebration, I had the chance to visit this temple and this place was surely packed! We had to make long lines just to see the image of Buddha and the different gods. I remember that the entire building was very colorful and we could also see lots of figurines aligned on the interior walls.I like the building itself because its appearance is very traditional and pretty well preserved. But most importantly, it is rich in historical value. However, I actually didn't enjoy my last visit because it was way too crowded, it was a rainy day, and things were quite chaotic.IELTS Speaking Part 2: 'difficult' questionsDescribe a law in your country.Many students think they don't know anything about laws. However, there are some easy examples that they could choose:1.In many countries it is now illegal to use a mobile phone while driving.You could start by talking about the popularity and benefits of mobile phones, and explain that people want to be able to answer calls wherever they are. Then you could explain the dangers of being distracted while driving; this law could reduce the number of road accidents, andtherefore save lives.2.If you feel confident talking about the 'education' topic, you couldchoose the 'compulsory education' law. This is the legal requirement that children up to a certain age must attend school. In the UK, for example, children are required by law to continue in education until they are 16 years old. This is a good topic because you can talk about the benefits of education.Of course, you could choose a more obvious law (it is illegal to steal, carry a gun etc.) but you might have more ideas and good vocabulary if you choose a typical IELTS topic like number 2 above.IELTS Speaking Part 2: describe a vehicleDescribe a vehicle you would like to buy in the future. You should say what kind of vehicle it iswhat you would use it forand why you would like to buy it.Here's my sample answer:If I had the money, I’d like to buy my own helicopter. I recently sawa TV programme about someone who flew around in his own helicopter,and I remember thinking that it would be great to have one. Thehelicopter on the programme was a small, blue, two-seater and it seemed quite easy to fly - that's the kind of thing I'd like to buy.Ideally, I’d use my helicopter instead of a car. First, I’d need to learn to fly it, but then I’d use it to go on short trips or holidays.It would be fantastic to be able to avoid traffic jams, and geteverywhere in a fraction of the time it normally takes. I’d takefriends and family sightseeing, over cities or mountain tops, and maybeI could even use it to do the shopping!The reason I’d like to buy a helicopter is that you can park one almost anywhere. You don’t need to find a runway or an airport like you would for a plane. So I’d be able to park my helicopter in my garden - ifI had a bigger garden. Also, I’ve always been intrigued by thosehelipads on the tops of tall buildings - I think it would be fun toland on top of a building. A helicopter probably isn’t a realistic choice of vehicle, but you never know - I might win the lottery!If I were a billionaire and had the money, I would like to buy a spaceship for my own space exploration adventures.Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be an astronaut. So having my personal spacecraft will be able to fulfill my childhood dreams. I would use my spacecraft to travel to different planets and hopefully be able to discover a habitable place where humans can live in the future. I think this could be a huge contribution to mankind as we know that our Earth's environment has been deteriorating to some extent.Anyway, the spaceship I want is one that doesn't need huge rockets, but one that has enough power and technology to transport me to outer space and bring me back to Earth safely without any problems. As for the size, something like NASA's space shuttles will work because they provide enough room to bring family and friends along.Also, since photography is one of my hobbies, taking pictures of the different celestial bodies and objects would be a really fascinating experience. All in all, although this may seem very unrealistic, I think humans will eventually come up with a vehicle like this and I'm sure it will revolutionize the concept of space travel.。

simon 雅思作文模板Simon IELTS Writing Template。

Introduction:The introduction is a crucial part of any IELTS writing task. It should be concise and to the point, providing a clear overview of the topic that will be discussed in the essay. In this template, the introduction should contain a brief explanation of the topic and the writer's opinion on it.Example:In today's modern society, the issue of climate change has become a pressing concern for many people around the world. It is widely accepted that human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are the primary causes of this phenomenon. In this essay, I will discuss the impact of climate change on the environment and propose some possible solutions to mitigate its effects.Body Paragraph 1:The first body paragraph should focus on the impact of climate change on the environment. This could include the melting of polar ice caps, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity. It is important to provide specific examples and evidence to support these points.Example:One of the most significant impacts of climate change is the melting of polar ice caps. This has led to a rise in sea levels, which poses a serious threat to coastal communities around the world. In addition, extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts, have become more frequent and severe, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. Furthermore, the loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns is also a major concern.Body Paragraph 2:The second body paragraph should focus on possible solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. This could include measures to reduce carbon emissions, such as investing in renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency. It is important to provide specific examples of successful initiatives and their impact.Example:One possible solution to mitigate the effects of climate change is to reduce carbon emissions by investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Many countries have already made significant progress in this area, with some even achieving 100% renewable energy production. In addition, improving energy efficiency in buildings and transportation can also help to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.Conclusion:The conclusion should provide a summary of the main points discussed in the essay and restate the writer's opinion on the topic. It should also include a final thought or recommendation for the reader to consider.Example:In conclusion, climate change is a significant threat to the environment and requires urgent action to mitigate its effects. By reducing carbon emissions and investing in renewable energy sources, we can help to protect the planet for future generations. It is important for individuals, governments, and businesses to work together to address this issue and implement sustainable solutions.。

Is laughing the same as feeling happy?It's not exactly the same because you can be happy without laughing, and sometimes we laugh when something bad has happened; a sense of humour can help us to cope with difficult situations.IELTS Speaking Part 1: musical instrumentsFor IELTS speaking part 1, remember to give short, simple answers. Answer the question with a full sentence and give a reason for your answer. Here are some example questions and answers about musical instruments (from Cambridge IELTS book 6):1. Which musical instrument do you like listening to most? (Why?)My favourite musical instrument to listen to is the guitar. I like the fact that there are different types of guitar, like classical, acoustic and electric. I love the variety of sounds a guitar can make.2. Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?I took some guitar lessons when I was younger and still have a guitar at home.I don't play it much nowadays. I wish I had more time to practise.3. Do you think children should learn to play an instrument at school? Yes, I think it's a great skill and it's really enjoyable to be able to play a musical instrument. All children should be given this opportunity.4. How easy would it be to learn to play an instrument without a teacher? It would probably be more difficult without a teacher. You need someone to show you what to do and correct your mistakes. You need a lot of discipline to teach yourself.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'telephoning' topicHere are some part 1 questions and sample answers from Cambridge IELTS book 9. Remember to make your part 1 answers short and simple. Just give a direct answer, followed by a reason or one extra piece of information.1. How often do you make telephone calls?I probably make three or four phone calls every day, usually just to make arrangements with work colleagues or to speak to family and friends.2. Who do you spend most time talking to on the telephone?I think it would be one of my closest work colleagues. We often call each other rather than meeting face-to-face.3. When do you think you'll next make a telephone call?My family are expecting me to phone them as soon as I finish this exam. They'll want to know how it went.4. Do you sometimes prefer to send a text message instead of telephoning?Yes. I prefer to send a text message when I'm arranging something simple, like a time to meet someone. In those situations, a phone call isn't necessary.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'numbers' topicOne of my students had these questions in her exam last week. I've put an example answer below each one.1) Do you have a favourite number or a number that is special to you? Yes, my favourite number is... because it's the day I was born on, and it's my lucky number.2) Do any numbers have special importance in your country?Yes, certain ages are special. For example, your 18th birthday is important because it's when you are considered to become an adult.3) Are you good at remembering numbers? Why / why not?No, I'm not very good at remembering numbers. I don't think it's necessary to learn them by heart; I just save them on my phone.4) What numbers do people often have to memorise?The most important number to remember on a daily basis is the pin number for your bank card. Without this you can't pay for anything or get cash out.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'toys' topic1) Did you play with toys when you were a child?Yes, of course. I loved playing with toys when I was a child; I think all children do.2) What kinds of toys did you like?As far as I remember, I mostly played with toy cars, planes and action figures from films or cartoons. I also liked building things with Lego.3) In your country, do boys and girls play with the same types of toys? Not really. I think boys like the kinds of toys that I mentioned before, whereas girls play with dolls. My niece, for example, doesn't like toy cars; she prefers dressing dolls in different outfits.4) Do you think that toys help children to learn?Yes, I do. All toys encourage children to use their imagination and creativity. Even with simple toys, children imagine situations and invent games and rules.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'neighbours' topicI've recently bought Cambridge IELTS book 8. Below are some questions and example answers from the first speaking test in the book. Remember that part 1 is supposed to be easy, so you should give short, direct answers.1. How well do you know your next-door neighbours?I know my neighbours quite well. They're really nice people, and I always stop to talk whenever I see them. I think it's important to get on well with the people who live next door.2. How often do you see them?I see my neighbours at least a few times a week. We usually see each other when we're leaving for work in the morning or coming home in the evening.3. What problems do people sometimes have with their neighbours?I think the most common problem is probably noise. It's difficult to live next to people who have a dog that barks at night, or who play loud music or have too many parties.IELTS Speaking Part 1: home townHere are some part 1 questions and answers on the topic of 'home town'. Try changing the answers to similar ones about your own town or city. Keep your answers short, simple and direct.1. Where are you from?I'm from Manchester, which is a city in the north west of England.2. Do you like your home town? (Why?)Yes, I like living in Manchester because it's where most of my friends live, and because there are plenty of things to do there. The only thing I don't like is the weather.3. Would you prefer to live somewhere else? (Why?)For the moment I'm happy living here, but at some point I'd like to live ina country with a warmer climate, and I'd like to live near a beach!4. Do you think your home town is a good place for young people? (Why?) Yes, Manchester has lots of things for young people, such as sports facilities, music and cinemas.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'accommodation' topicHere are some questions that I found on the official IELTS website, . The answers below are my examples. Remember to keep your part 1 answers short and simple. You don't need to show off in part 1.1. Tell me about the kind of accommodation you live in.I live in a house that has a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a small garden. It's not a very big house, but it's just right for me.2. How long have you lived there?I've lived there for about five years. It's the first house that I've owned; before that I was renting an apartment.3. What do you like about living there?I like living there because I think the house reflects my personality: I decorated it myself, I chose all the furniture, and everything is where I want it to be.4. What sort of accommodation would you most like to live in?If I could, I'd buy a bigger house near a beach or in the mountains, preferably somewhere with a warm climateIELTS Speaking Part 1: giving negative answersIt's fine to give negative answers in part 1 of the speaking test. Here are some example negative answers for people who don't like sport:1. What sports or physical activities do you regularly do?Unfortunately I don't have time to do any sports or physical activities because of my work commitments. I'd like to find more time for regular exercise.2. Which sport or game would you like to be good at?I'd like to be good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit the ball as hard as you can and watch it land exactly where you wanted it to.3. Do you prefer watching or playing sports?I don't watch much sport on TV and I'm not a big sports fan, so I think I would probably enjoy doing sports more than watching them.4. Do you think children should be encouraged to do more sport?Yes, I think that sport is really important for children. Sports and games teach children to play together and try their best.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'cooking' topicHere are some recent part 1 questions, with my example answers.1. Do you like cooking? Why / why not?Sometimes I like preparing a special meal for family or friends who visit, but everyday cooking is a bit boring; it's something that has to be done, but it's not really fun.2. Who did the cooking in your family when you were a child?My mother almost always did the cooking when I was young. I don't think she trusted my father to make a nice meal.3. Do you think that it's important to know how to cook well?I'm not sure whether it's important to cook well,but I do think that everyone should know the basics. It definitely isn't healthy to rely on pre-prepared meals or fast food.4. Do you think that children should be taught cookery at school?Yes, that's probably a good idea. If all children knew how to cook a few basic, healthy meals, that would surely be a good thing.IELTS Speaking Part 1: emails and handwritingAt work or in your studies, do you often write things?Yes, I write a lot of emails as part of my job. I work for a company that has offices in several countries, so we use email to communicate.How often do you send e-mails?I probably write between 5 and 10 work emails every day, and I send emails to friends or family a few times a week.Do you prefer to write by hand or on a computer?It depends what I’m doing. I prefer the computer for most things because it’s faster and you can save or copy things, but I still like making notes or writing ideas down by hand.Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?No, I think we will always write by hand as well. I think it’s an important skill, and schools will continue to teach children to write by hand before they learn to type.IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'walking' topicRemember to keep your part 1 answers short and 'to the point'. Here are my example answers for some questions about walking:1. Do you like walking?I'm not one for going on really long walks in the countryside, but I don't mind walking when I'm in a town or city, for example when I'm sightseeing in a new place.2. Do you think walking is important?Yes, I think it's important to be active, and walking is the most basic physical activity that we can do.3. Do you think walking in the countryside is better than walking in the city?Personally, no. As I said before, I like walking in the city, especially if it's somewhere with a lot of history like London or Paris. I've done quitea lot of walking in those cities.4. What could be done to improve the experience of walking in cities?I suppose the main issues are space and safety. Pavements need to be wide enough to accommodate lots of pedestrians, and we need safe places to cross the street.IELTS Speaking: if you don't know what to sayIn Sunday's lesson I suggested answering in the following way if you don't know what to say:"Well, I don't really know much about... because..., but I suppose..."In other words, you admit that you don't really know what to say, you explain why, then you invent an answer anyway. Let's try using the formula above with an example.Question:What kinds of jobs might stop when the season changes?Answer:Well, I don't really know much about seasonal jobs because everyone works all year round where I live, but I suppose that some jobs related to tourism must stop at the end of the summer holiday period.IELTS Speaking Part 2: event in historyOne of the most important and shocking events in history is the 9/11 terrorist attacks.This event took place on the East coast of the US on September 11, 2001 and it consisted of a series of suicide attacks conducted by a group of terrorists. These terrorists hijacked commercial airplanes and directed them into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center buildings in New York City. Part of the Pentagon was damaged, but both Twin Towers collapsed and were fully destroyed. Because of these attacks, thousands of innocent people were injured and killed.I think this event really has had an effect on many people's lives, especially Americans because it was like a direct hit into their hearts. Since the attacks, the security at airports, government buildings, and popular public places has become extremely tight and that somehow has caused inconvenience on our daily lives. For example, if we want to travel by plane, we must getto the airport 2 or 3 hours before the flight in order to go through all the security check points.All in all, I think the 9/11 attacks is an important event in the history of mankind because it showed how a country was able to rebuild and recover despite all the grief.IELTS Speaking Part 2: old building1.I'm going to describe a very famous building in New York: the EmpireState Building. People might not think of it as an old building, but the Empire State Building was built in 1931, so I don't think it can be classed as new. It's located on Manhattan island and it's probably the most distinctive and recognisable building when you look at New York's skyline.2.As far as I know, the Empire State Building is an office building, butvisitors can go up to an observation deck on the top floor, which is the 102nd floor. There's also a 360-degree observation area on the 86th floor. Apparently, the building makes more money from the sale oftickets to the observation floors than it does from office rentals.3.I think the Empire State Building is still one of the most impressiveskyscrapers in the world. It's such an iconic structure, and it'samazing to think that it was built around 80 years ago. The best thing about the building is the viewing deck on the top floor, which offersspectacular views of the city; it's definitely the best vantage point in New York. I'd recommend anyone who visits the city to go there and experience the view.Today I want to talk about an old building, which is a Buddhist temple situated in the suburbs of Kaohsiung City in the southern part of Taiwan. I'm not sure when this temple was built, but it indeed looks very old... my guess is that it should have at least 100 years old.This temple is actually quite small compared to others but it is a very popular one among Kaohsiung residents because it is believed that miracles happen when you devote yourself in this religion. For this specific reason, many believers go on a frequent basis to pray for good health and prosperity. During the last Chinese New Year celebration, I had the chance to visit this temple and this place was surely packed! We had to make long lines just to see the image of Buddha and the different gods. I remember that the entire building was very colorful and we could also see lots of figurines aligned on the interior walls.I like the building itself because its appearance is very traditional and pretty well preserved. But most importantly, it is rich in historical value. However, I actually didn't enjoy my last visit because it was way too crowded, it was a rainy day, and things were quite chaotic.IELTS Speaking Part 2: 'difficult' questionsDescribe a law in your country.Many students think they don't know anything about laws. However, there are some easy examples that they could choose:1.In many countries it is now illegal to use a mobile phone while driving.You could start by talking about the popularity and benefits of mobile phones, and explain that people want to be able to answer calls wherever they are. Then you could explain the dangers of being distracted while driving; this law could reduce the number of road accidents, andtherefore save lives.2.If you feel confident talking about the 'education' topic, you couldchoose the 'compulsory education' law. This is the legal requirement that children up to a certain age must attend school. In the UK, for example, children are required by law to continue in education until they are 16 years old. This is a good topic because you can talk about the benefits of education.Of course, you could choose a more obvious law (it is illegal to steal, carry a gun etc.) but you might have more ideas and good vocabulary if you choose a typical IELTS topic like number 2 above.IELTS Speaking Part 2: describe a vehicleDescribe a vehicle you would like to buy in the future. You should say what kind of vehicle it iswhat you would use it forand why you would like to buy it.Here's my sample answer:If I had the money, I’d like to buy my own helicopter. I recently sawa TV programme about someone who flew around in his own helicopter,and I remember thinking that it would be great to have one. Thehelicopter on the programme was a small, blue, two-seater and it seemed quite easy to fly - that's the kind of thing I'd like to buy.Ideally, I’d use my helicopter instead of a car. First, I’d need to learn to fly it, but then I’d use it to go on short trips or holidays.It would be fantastic to be able to avoid traffic jams, and geteverywhere in a fraction of the time it normally takes. I’d takefriends and family sightseeing, over cities or mountain tops, and maybeI could even use it to do the shopping!The reason I’d like to buy a helicopter is that you can park one almost anywhere. You don’t need to find a runway or an airport like you would for a plane. So I’d be able to park my helicopter in my garden - ifI had a bigger garden. Also, I’ve always been intrigued by thosehelipads on the tops of tall buildings - I think it would be fun toland on top of a building. A helicopter probably isn’t a realistic choice of vehicle, but you never know - I might win the lottery!If I were a billionaire and had the money, I would like to buy a spaceship for my own space exploration adventures.Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be an astronaut. So having my personal spacecraft will be able to fulfill my childhood dreams. I would use my spacecraft to travel to different planets and hopefully be able to discover a habitable place where humans can live in the future. I think this could be a huge contribution to mankind as we know that our Earth's environment has been deteriorating to some extent.Anyway, the spaceship I want is one that doesn't need huge rockets, but one that has enough power and technology to transport me to outer space and bring me back to Earth safely without any problems. As for the size, something like NASA's space shuttles will work because they provide enough room to bring family and friends along.Also, since photography is one of my hobbies, taking pictures of the different celestial bodies and objects would be a really fascinating experience. All in all, although this may seem very unrealistic, I think humans will eventually come up with a vehicle like this and I'm sure it will revolutionize the concept of space travel.。

It is a classic song by The Beatles.It is a song written by Paul. When his friend John divorced, he feared that John’s little son Julian could be upset because of his parents’ marriage. Theref ore, he wrote the song to Julian to encourage him to face the difficulties in life and never give up. In some parts of the song, Paul also told some stories between him and his girlfriend.

I particularly like coming hereto shop for presents and trinkets, since you can find something tosuit any wallet, age or taste. The old and the new combine on the Yuyuan market to provide the best picture of the local life you can get.

Theseare one next to the other, making the contrast that much more evident.I sometimes simply enjoy sitting on the side of the street, eating a filled glutinous rice ball and listening to the bits and pieces of different languages that the tourists are flinging enthusiasticallyat each other.

We finallyfinished this trip to Hongkong. Before the trip, I thought it mightbe better than the trip I had had before, but I didn't expect it tobe so terrible.At first, the manager told us that we would take a coach to Zhengzhou, from where we would take a train to Hongkong, but when we got on the coach they changed their idea. They said that for some reason theyhad taken us to Hongkong by the coach. From Nangyang to Hongkong, the coach was running for 24 hours that it was really terrible for us.After sitting on the coach for 24 hours, we arrived to the border of Shenzhen and Hongkong. There were a lot of passengers. We followedthe crowd to check into Hongkong until 11 o'clock at night. We stayed at Hongkong only one and half a day but about two-third of time was shopping in stores. Jewelry store, clocks and watches store, giftstore and electrical shop and so on. The tour guide constantly changed. There were three guides in one and a half days.

I think they're mostly based on the considerations that the environment we live in has been polluted heavily and there are severe food security problems in China. People are fearing that they may get sick by eating polluted food outside.do people like houses attached with garden?Firstly, I guess it's because people are like rare things as there is a huge population in China and people are mostly live in apartments, it is very seldom for people to live in a house with garden. The second reason I can think of is that nowadays people mostly work among skyscrapers and it'll be very comfortable and released for them to see green stuff back home.you often go to visit gardens?No, not really, I think that's probably because there are few gardens in the downtown area.there any houses or apartments with gardens?Yes, there are houses with individual gardens and they are mostly in the rural area. As for apartments, usually there is a garden in the middle of the neighborhood.houses, is there any other types of housing with gardens?Eh, No, I don’t think so. I only know about apartments and h ousesabout organic food?Organic food is very popular nowadays because people today pay more attention on healthy, natural and nutritive food material.which occasion would people use flowers to decorate in China?On occasions when people move into a new house or a important guest in coming to pay a visit.flowers be utilized under other conditions?When you visit a patient in the hospital or pay respect to the dead in a cemetery.parks sell tickets?No, I don't think it's reasonable for parks to sell tickets cause parks are public green space for people who live nearby to walk and get some fresh air. And it's usually constructed and run by government, which means citizens have already paid for it by taxes. So, I don't think it's appropriate for parks to sell tickets. They should be free to the public.雅思口语part1范文(篇十二)Describe a historical building in your country.You should say:where it iswhen and who you went withwhat it is likeand explain why you think you wanted to visit it.I don’t think you can t alk about historical buildings in China without mentioning one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, the Great Wall. It is located in the north of China, with some parts close to the capital, Beijing.I visited it with my parents and siblings during a summer vacation a few years ago. Unfortunately this is peak season as the weather is glorious and people like to travel during this period, so it was jam-packed. The Great Wall is one of China’s premier tourist attractions and as such is a major draw.The Wall itself was fantastic. As it is an ancient structure, partsof it are ruined due to the effects of time, but other parts havebeen reconstructed for tourists in order for them to see how it would have looked, as well as making it safe to climb. When you look out across the hills and mountains, it seems to go on forever, as far as the eyes can see.I wanted to visit the Great Wall as it is an iconic building in China, no trip to Beijing is complete without a jaunt out to the Wall. Asfar as I’m co ncerned it has a timeless quality and I could spend all day walking up and down it. It was voted one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and people say it is visible from space, although thisis actually a misconception.雅思口语part1范文(篇十三)it good for children to take part in the teamwork?a leader important for teamwork?are the disadvantages of teamwork?one do you prefer, project-based teamwork or function based teamwork?is necessary for people to be good team members (not leader)?Sample answers：, I think so. Children cannot always work alone and many tasks and projects can only be accomplished through collective efforts. Also,in the future, no matter in their college life or in their career,they may be required to work in a team. But, the problem is that children tend to be more self-centered than adults and when they are very little kids, they usually do not know how to cooperate with others. So, if chances are provided, children should take part in the teamwork, trying to help each other, figure out solutions and improve their cooperation skills., of course. There should be someone to make final decisions and lead the team in the right directions. Although teamwork does have the advantages like less individual responsibility, less workload and so on, it does have the problems that some thoughts might conflict with others. The whole project may reach a plateau. If a leader is elected, he/she can make decision to take whose ideas, eliminating the conflicts.teamwork, it is hard to allocate the tasks equally to everyone. Some team members may feel unfair. For example, to writing a research paper, a team member may be responsible for collecting related information; another team member may be assigned to do some experiments. It is likely that collecting information is verydifficult, while finishing the experiments is comparatively easier.So the one who searches for information may feel unfair.prefer function based teamwork. You know, in a function based team, everyone’s duty is clear-cut. Many redundancy can be reduced in this way. For example, in the app team, there might be 2 Android engineers, 2 IOS engineers, 1 project manager and 1 editor. According the titles of these positions, you can see that this is a function based team. I think less redundancy means higher working efficiency.think a good team member should have strong sense of responsibility. He or she has to make every efforts to accomplish his or her duties with high efficiency and quality. Thus, the leader doesn’t need to spend too much time on supervising his/her team members, taking more time to make important decisions and formulate blueprint for new projects. Thus, the whole team’s performance can be greatly enhanced.雅思口语part1范文(篇十四)you send gifts to others quite often?kind of gifts are popular in your country?there some special gifts in your country?are the difference between the gifts sent nowadays and those sent in the past?you have a child, when will you give presents to him/her?do you feel about receiving an expensive gift?Sample answers：really. Only when someone invite to their home or attend some kind of celebrations will I send gifts to others. For example, when one of my friends invited me to attend her wedding, I sent her a microwave oven as a gift. And usually, Chinese prefer to give red envelope with 500 RMB to 2000 RMB to the inviters instead of sending gifts. In this way, the inviters can use this amount of money to purchase whatever she/he likes.a common visit, we tend to send fruits, cookies and the like to the host. You know, most of people like to eat this kind of things. Andwe don’t want to send something the host doesn’t like. So food is always one of the best choices. For some important occasions like wedding ceremonies, we prefer to send household appliances as gifts. To conclude, Chinese are more willing to send necessities as gifts.my point of view, red envelope seems to be one of the special giftsin China. Every time when we celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year, the elder would give red envelope to kids. Usually, within these red envelopes is money, ranging from 100 RMB to several thousand RMB.This money is called lucky money. The elder hopes the luck money can bless the kids have a lucky, happy new year.the past, like my parents, usually sent health products to the old as gifts. In their view, these products did good to people’s health. However, notion of health has undergone great changes. People startto recognize that most of these products exaggerated their pesticide effect and some of them even have many side effects. As a result, nowadays people send other kinds of things such as fruits, cookies or household appliances as gifts.would give presents to him/her when he she celebrate for birthdays or for some other important events. For example, when he/she graduates from university, I would send him/her a business suit as presents.You know, after graduation, he/she has to look for a job and takelots of interviews. A business suit is necessary for interviews,which might leave employers good impression of the interviewers.depends on who send me this expensive gift. If one of my friend, not a close friend, send me an expensive gift, I would feel a little bit nervous. And maybe later, I would send something back. However, if my parents send me a MacBook, I will not feel a great burden. You know, in Chinese cultural, how much expensive gifts you send depends on the relationship between you and the receiver. Too much or too less are both improper.。

雅思Simon考官大作文范文：经济发展题目：Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country.?Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.范文：People have different views about how governments should measure their countries’ progress. While economic progress is of course essential, I agree with those who believe that other measures of progress are just as important.There are three key reasons why economic growth is seen as a fundamental goal for countries. Firstly, a healthy economy results in job creation, a high level of employment, and better salaries for all citizens. Secondly, economic progress ensures that more money is available for governments to spend on infrastructure and public services. For example, a government with higher revenues can invest in the country's transport network, its education system and its hospitals. Finally, a strong economy can help a country’s standing on the global stage, in terms of its political influence and trading power.However, I would argue that various other forms of progress are just as significant as the economic factors mentioned above. In particular, we should consider the area of social justice, human rights, equality and democracy itself. For example, the treatmentof minority groups is often seen as a reflection of the moral standards and level of development of a society. Perhaps another key consideration when judging the progress of a modern country should be how well that country protects the natural environment, and whether it is moving towards environmental sustainability. Alternatively, the success of a nation could be measured by looking at the health, well-being and happiness of its residents.In conclusion, the economy is obviously a key marker of a country’s success, but social, environmental and health criteria are equally significant.(262 words, band 9)雅思Simon考官9分大作文范文：Happiness题目：Happiness is considered very important in life.Why is it difficult to define?What factors are important in achieving happiness?范文： It is no doubt true that the majority of people would like to be happy in their lives. While the personal nature of happiness makes it difficult to describe, there do seem to be some common needs that we all share with regard to experiencing or achieving happiness.Happiness is difficult to define because it means something different to each individual person. Nobody can fully understand or experience another person’s feelings, and we all have our own particular passions from which we take pleasure. Some people, for example, derive a sense of satisfaction from earning money or achieving success, whereas for others, health and family are much more important. At the same time, a range of other feelings, from excitement to peacefulness, may beassociated with the idea of happiness, and the same person may therefore feel happy in a variety of different ways.Although it seems almost impossible to give a precise definition of happiness, most people would agree that there are some basic preconditions to achieving it. Firstly, it is hard for a person to be happy if he or she does not have a safe place to live and enough food to eat. Our basic survival needs must surely be met before we can lead a pleasant life. Secondly, the greatest joy in life is usually found in shared experiences with family and friends, and it is rare to find a person who is content to live in complete isolation. Other key factors could be individual freedom and a sense of purpose in life.In conclusion, happiness is difficult to define because it is particular to each individual, but I believe that our basic needs for shelter, food and company need to be fulfilled before we can experience it. (292 words, band 9)雅思Simon考官9分大作文范文：unpaid work题目：Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole.Do you agree or disagree?范文; Many young people work on a volunteer basis, and this can only be beneficial for both the individual and society as a whole. However, I do not agree that we should therefore force all teenagers to do unpaid work.Most young people are already under enough pressure with their studies, without being given the added responsibility of working in their spare time. School is just as demanding as a full-time job, and teachers expect their students to do homework andexam revision on top of attending lessons every day. When young people do have some free time, we should encourage them to enjoy it with their friends or to spend it doing sports and other leisure activities. They have many years of work ahead of them when they finish their studies.At the same time, I do not believe that society has anything to gain from obliging young people to do unpaid work. In fact, I would argue that it goes against the values of a free and fair society to force a group of people to do something against their will. Doing this can only lead to resentment amongst young people, who would feel that they were being used, and parents, who would not want to be told how to raise their children. Currently, nobody is forced to volunteer, and this is surely the best system.In conclusion, teenagers may choose to work for free and help others, but in my opinion we should not make this compulsory.(250 words, band 9)雅思Simon考官9分大作文范文：Equality题目： In recent years, there has been growing interest in the relationship between equality and personal achievement. Some people believe that individuals can achieve more in egalitarian societies. Others believe that high levels of personal achievement are possible only if individuals are free to succeed or fail according to their individual merits. What is your view of the relationship between equality and personal success?范文： In my opinion, an egalitarian society is one in which everyone has the same rights and the same opportunities. I completely agree that people can achieve more in this kind of society.Education is an important factor with regard to personal success in life. I believe that all children should have access to free schooling, and higher education should be either free or affordable for all those who chose to pursue a university degree. In a society without free schooling or affordable higher education, only children and young adults from wealthier families would have access to the best learning opportunities, and they would therefore be better prepared for the job market. This kind of inequality would ensure the success of some but harm the prospects of othersI would argue that equal rights and opportunities are not in conflict with people’s freedom to succeed or fail. In other words, equality does not mean that people lose their motivation to succeed, or that they are not allowed to fail. On the contrary, I believe that most people would feel more motivated to work hard and reach their potential if they thought that they lived in a fair society. Those who did not make the same effort would know that they had wasted their opportunity. Inequality, on the other hand, would be more likely to demotivate people because they would know that the odds of success were stacked in favour of those from privileged backgrounds.In conclusion, it seems to me that there is a positive relationship between equality and personal success. (260 words) 雅思Simon考官9分大作文范文：Independence题目： Some people think that in the modern world we are more dependent on each other, while others think that people have become more independent. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.范文：People have different views about whether we are more or less dependent on others nowadays. In my view, modernlife forces us to be more independent than people were in the past.There are two main reasons why it could be argued that we are more dependent on each other now. Firstly, life is more complex and difficult, especially because the cost of living has increased so dramatically. For example, young adults tend to rely on their parents for help when buying a house. Property prices are higher than ever, and without help it would be impossible for many people to pay a deposit and a mortgage. Secondly, people seem to be more ambitious nowadays, and they want a better quality of life for their families. This means that both parents usually need to work full-time, and they depend on support from grandparents and babysitters for child careHowever, I would agree with those who believe that people are more independent these days. In most countries, families are becoming smaller and more dispersed, which means that people cannot count on relatives as much as they used to. We also have more freedom to travel and live far away from our home towns. For example, many students choose to study abroad instead of going to their local university, and this experience makes them more independent as they learn to live alone. Another factor in this growing independence is technology, which allows us to work alone and from any part of the world.In conclusion, while there are some reasons to believe that people now depend on each other more, my own view is that we are more independent than ever.Note: As usual, try to analyse this essay in terms of task response (does it fully answer the question?), organisation, 'band 7-9' vocabulary, and grammar.。

I feel that it’ s not only an indispensable part of my life, but also can culture my mental development.2. In which seasons do you prefer to travel?I guess the autumn is the best time to travel. As it is neither too hot nor too cold,people will feel comfortable to go out. Besides, as the foliage of trees will turnyellow or red, you will find the picturesque views all around you. Wherever you go,you will experience a memorable trip.3. Would you say your country is a good place for travellers to visit?Yes, Chinese people are renowned for their hospitality to visitors. And there arealso numerous tourist attractions around the country. For instance, you can visitthe natural landscape to see the picturesque views, or you can go to the historicalrelics to know the events through the long Chinese history, or you can just stay atthe metropolises to experience the local people’ s lifestyle.旅行习惯（ Travel habit）1. What form of transport do you prefer to use? Why?I prefer to travel by car because it means that I have my own space. Also, the buses and trains in my city are usually overcrowded; my car is much more comfortable.2. How much time do you spend travelling on a normal day?I probably spend about an hour and a half travelling to and from work. I travel during the rush hours, so there is quite a lot of traffic.3. What do you do while you are travelling?I usually listen to the radio or a CD. In the morning I like to listen to the news to find out what is happening in the world.4. Do you ever have problems with transport?Yes, as I said, I get stuck in traffic on my way to and from work. I used to get annoyed by traffic jams, but now I'm used to them.公园（ park）1. Do you like parks? Why / why not?Yes, I like parks because they're great places to relax or go for a walk. I think every city needs some green space where people can escape from the crowds.2. How often do you visit parks?There's a park very close to where I live, so I probably go there once or twice a week if the weather's nice.3. Why are parks an important part of many towns and cities?Parks are like an oasis where people get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. They are where people go to have lunch, to take some exercise, or to forget about work for a while.4. What do you think could be done to make parks better?The parks in big cities are already really good in my opinion. If I think about the famous parks in London, Paris or New York, I can't imagine what I would do to improve them.衣食住行类衣服（ cloth）1. Are clothes and clothing fashions important to you? (Why/Why not?)No, clothes and fashions are not really important to me. I tend to wear clothes that are comfortable and practical rather than fashionable.2. What different clothes do you wear for different situations?Well, I have to dress quite formally for work, so I wear a shirt and trousers. At home I prefer to wear jeans and a T-shirt, and on special occasions I might wear a suit.3. Do you wear different styles of clothes now compared to 10 years ago? No, not really, because I don't follow fashion. I think I have dressed in a similar way for the last 10 years.4. Do you think the clothes we wear say something about who we are?Yes, they probably do. Some people are really careful about what they wear because they want to be seen as stylish. Other people wear clothes that show wealth or status, such as clothes by famous designers.住（ live）1. Do you live in a house or an apartment?I live in a semi-detached house with three bedrooms in a suburb of Manchester. I've lived there for just over a year.2. Which is your favourite room in your home? Why?I don't really have a favourite room. But if I had to choose, I'd say the living room because that's where I go to sit and relax.3. Would you change anything about your home? Why / why not?Yes, I've been meaning to redecorate it since I moved in last year. It needs a new kitchen, so that's what I'd change first.4. Would you like to move to a different home in the future?Yes, I'd definitely move again at some point if I could afford to. I'd like to live in the countryside, or maybe in a different city or country.走路（ walk）1. Do you like walking?I'm not one for going on really long walks in the countryside, but I don't mind walking when I'm in a town or city, for example when I'm sightseeing in a new place.2. Do you think walking is important?Yes, I think it's important to be active, and walking is the most basic physical activity that we can do.3. Do you think walking in the countryside is better than walking in the city? Personally, no. As I said before, I like walking in the city, especially if it's somewhere with a lot of history like London or Paris.4. What could be done to improve the experience of walking in cities?I suppose the main issues are space and safety. Pavements need to be wide enough to accommodate lots of pedestrians, and we need safe places to cross the street.科技类摄影（ photograph）1. Do you like to take photographs? (Why?)Yes, I am a big fan of photography in my spare time. I always travel around to the stunning natural scenery with my camera. I have been in the habit of it for almost8 years. The main factor is that I can capture the precious moment in my life, suchas the graduation ceremony, or the sweet moment with my girlfriend, and also Ibelieve the photography will cultivate my mental development.2.Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take photos? (Why?)If I were t o choose between the two, I’ ll probably go with taking photos of others because I feel that different people have different characteristic, so thephotos will be distinguishing. Whereas, I barely take a selfie because it will makeme embarrassed.3. Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?Normally, I’ ll probably go with the scenery to take photos because I really enjoy the marvellous natural scenery such as the seashore, sunset and twilight, but if Itake my son travelling around, I photos’ll takeofhim to capture his happiness.4. How do you keep your photos?I store my photos both in my computer disk and Internet for backup. And besidesI have a photography website running for 4 years, keeping all my premium photosthere.5. Do you frame (of have you framed) any of your photos? (If yes, which?&why?)Yes, I used to print some photos of my kid to hang them in his room, which canhelp us memorise the warm moment we had together.6.Do you prefer to send postcards to people or to send photos that youtook yourself? (Why?)Well, if I were to choose between the two, I’ ll probably go with my own photos because they are unique and seeing a lot of comments from friends is really apleasant thing. Whereas postcards are not as meaningful as photos taken bymyself.博物馆（ museum）1. 1. Are there many (or, any) museums in your hometown?Not so many, actually there is only one museum in my small county about thelocal history. It allows the local residents to know better about their traditions andhistorical celebrities.2. Do you think museums are useful for visitors to your hometown/country?’ ll find some local I go to the museum a lot, when I come to the new place, Imuseums that have interesting features. The museum I visited last time was theGuanfu Museum located in the rural area of Beijing. It is a private-owned museumfeaturing Chinese antiques like porcelain, furniture, jade and some paintings.3.
