1. Describe a class of science you learned in the high school2. Describe an activity you do to keep fit3. Describe something you bought that made you happy4. Describe an exciting book you have read.5. Describe a person from another country具体题目分析:Describe a person from another countryYou should say:who this person ishow you know this personwhat this person doand explain why you like this personA foreign person I want to talk about is Miranda Kerr, who is a world-famous super model. And I am a super fan of her.Born in Australia, Kerr won an annual model competition at the age of 13. After that, she received considerable commercial exposure, which increased her profile in the international modeling markets. She was selected as a Victoria’s Secret Angel for the Victoria’s Secret campaign in 2007. Her consecutive appearance in the VS fashion shows made her a globally recognized super model. In 2013, Forbes ranked her No.2 in the list of the world’s highest-paid models.I think Kerr is definitely beautiful: brown curly hair, big blue eyes, cute lips and sexy body. But unlike other super models, I think her signature is her unique and charming smile. A celebrity photographer once said: people love Kerrbecause she has the most incredible girl-next-door look and she’s also insanely beautiful. It means women are not intimidated by her looks and guys think they might be able to talk to her. It is a fantastic combination.”Besides modeling career, Kerr did a lot of charitable work. In 2010, Kerr released an inspirational book, Treasure Yourself, which is aimed at female teenagers.In my heart, she is a beautiful woman inside and out. She is my idol on so many different levels. And if I could meet her one day, that would be a dream come true to me.。

雅思口语机经解析----擅长做饭的人Cue cardExample:The person I wanna talk about who is quite good at cooking is my uncle. Until now, he has been working in a luxury restaurant as a chef; meanwhile, he is conducting a café with his friends in the downtown. He’s capable of creating distinctive dishes especially some Chinese classical ones like braised fish with soy sauce and stewed pork ribs with sugar and vinegar.When it comes to Chinese traditional festivals, families usually get reunion, no matter what kinds of food he made are always welcomed and were eaten up immediately. He is called the super cook in my family. Besides, he has won several championships in cooking competitions in the past few years. The special dish he’s quite good at is the braised fish with soy sauce, which is made of fresh fish with some Chinese traditional raw materials such as garlic, ginger and leek. After about 20 minutes braised, soy sauce will be added which colors the fish and stimulate the original flavor of the fish. Additionally, the café he’s running is often full of customers especially during the weekends and public holidays.That’s why I believe that he’s a super cook.Part 3How often do Chinese people cook at home?Traditionally, most Chinese people cook every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. People who often eat at the restaurant may have a better income than those who work in the factory. Certainly, it’s much cheaper to cook at home. Only on certain important days, the family will havea big dinner at the restaurant.However, in recent years, more and more people have their meals outside especially the youngsters. For the main reason is that they have no choice but eating outside such as at schools or near their workplace. In many sophisticated cities in China, people don’t have time to prepare breakfast and lunch at home so that they have to eat outside. Besides, with the increasing level of people’s living standard, they will spend more time with their friends or families at the restaurant after work or at the weekends.•There are more restaurants these days, do you think people will eat out more?Definitely! There’s no doubt that the increasing number of the restaurant indicates the growing needs of the market. With the rise of people’s salary, eating outside has become common which results in a diversity of restaurants coming out, which are famous for different cuisines. Additionally, several special cafés endorsed by celebrities, has become popular in China especially welcomed by the young people. In my perspective, eating outside seems to be a social behavior since business is usually conducted during the dinner.•Do schools have cooking classes in your country?Generally speaking, there are no this cooking lessons in schools except the training centers or the vocational colleges. In China, there is only one child in most families which means that parents won’t allow their child to do any housework including cooking. Therefore, it’s hard to imagine that cooking could be a course in schools.While, for those who are fond of cooking, they can attend the vocational colleges where professional courses will be approached and of course, cook is a prospect job after graduation.•Do you think we should teach children how to cook?I think so. In my perspective, cooking is a kind of survival skill especially for young people. Children had better learn to make some simple dishes to take care of themselves in case their parents aren’t with them. Besides, cooking is an essential ability for teenagers who intend to study overseas because of the different eating habits. What’s more, eating at homing is relatively healthier than eating outside for the fresh raw materials and the process made by oneself.。
2022年3月14日雅思机经真题回忆可参考真题:C4T3S4;C9T3S4;C11T2S4【口语】Photos考试题目:Do you like to take photos?Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take photos?How often do you take photos?In what situations do you take photos?How do you keep your photos?1. Do you like to take photos?Yes, definitely. I’m passionate about photography since it’s one of the things that you can do to keep a record of your life. Especially when you’re traveling, it’s like making your own souvenirs.分析:“喜爱”类型的问题思路比较明确,先直面回答问题,要么说出喜爱的缘由,要么说出不喜爱的缘由。
建议说两个缘由或者一个缘由+一个详细例子。
还有一种思路可以分状况争论,在...的状况下喜爱,在...的状况下不喜爱。
还有,“喜爱”类型的part 1问题留意使用同义替换。
词汇和短语:be passionate about 对...有热忱keep a record of sth. 记录...2. Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take photos?Well, if you mean the photos of the landscape, I’d absolutely choose to do it myself, cuz I don’t trust other people’s photography. I have my own way of dealing with the angles or light. But sometimes, you may want a group photo with some certain background, like some monuments. That’s when I have to ask for other people’s help.分析:prefer类型的题目建议可以多使用分状况争论的方式,比较简单绽开思路。

Funnily enough, I love to work. In fact, I love to be occupied with things, whether or not they are work related.6.How do you think your subject will help you in the future?It wasn't my first choice.

I don’t wanna get burned out soon after I start working.15.What other job do you think you would enjoy, apart from your present job?My dream job would be the president of the United States, and not only that, but I'd love to be the president with the majority of Congressional members and S. court justices agreeing with me.
