Describe a room in your house that is special to you.

Sample answer

My study room and living room is the same one and I spend most of my time in this room whenever I am home. It’s a square size room that has been painted in white colour. It has got 2 2 windows, one attached bathroom and a north facing veranda. The bed is placed beside the bigger window. Warm and fresh air keeps the room healthy for breathing. Among other possessions I’ve got a computer desk, a bed table, a wardrobe, 2 bookshelves, one reading desk, one bed table, and dressing table. One bookshelf is full of novels and story books and the other one with academic books. I keep my notepads, diary, boxes and other necessary things amid of the study desk. I read mostly on my desk and sometimes on my bed. In case of story books, I prefer to read in bed. For academic reading and writing I mostly use my desk. My study room has not got plenty of furniture but I keep my things organized and clean. In day time I keep my windows and prefer not turn on the light. My mother sometimes takes the authority to arrange and clean the room. I have arranged my story books based on Author and the academic books on Subject.

My study room and living room gives me comfort in terms of quietness. Sometimes I pick chair on the Veranda and lit a table light and read book there at night. There are several other in our house but my study room is quite soothing to me. I feel more comfortable at my study room than any other room in our house.

雅思口语话题范例：Job

1. What jobs are more suited to older people and what jobs are more suited to younger people?

In China, for the older generation social work such as guarding the local neighborhood and babysitting children is really popular. Most people who do this kind of work are around fifty-five years old or more, and most of them are well educated. They have so much experience in their life, so they know how to do social work better than those who have less life-experience under their belt. As for the younger generation they get more employment opportunities, and it seems more challenging for them as well. As the hi-tech industry is growing really fast, younger people can get all the latest information on the internet. This gives them the skills needed to thrive in more creative jobs that require a lot of adaptability. This includes things like inventing network languages, designing modern houses, and trying to figure out how to make life much colorful and better.

2. Do you think people should be promoted at work because they’ve given many years of service to the company or do you think that people should only be promoted based on their performance at work?

It’s my opinion that promotions should be based on merit only. It is not right to reward people just for being moderately competent at their job. Unless they show that they are motivated and skilled enough to do more challenging work then there is no reason to promote them. If people are promoted merely because they have worked at a company for a long time then there is no incentive for them to work hard; they just have to avoid failing rather than strive to do better. Perhaps people who have given many years service to their employer can be rewarded with bonus pay or additional benefits like pensions, but it’s foolish to give jobs to people who aren’t the best qualified to perform them.

3. What is the usual retirement age for people in China?

The legal retirement age is sixty for men and fifty-five for most women. This is in-line with most industrialized nations. It may have to be raised in the future as more and more people retire and want to claim pension benefits. Indeed, for many state-owned jobs the retirement age is more like fifty or fifty-five in order to make way for younger generations of graduates. The reasoning behind this is that the younger workers will be more highly qualified and better able to perform at their jobs. Some people say that a high retirement age is a bad thing because it can take jobs away from people

entering the workplace. They argue that it’s unfair for a young person to be unemployed because old person is taking their job.

4. If someone who is older than the retirement age wants to and is able to continue working, is he or she allowed to do that?

Yes, they are. In some schools and hospitals, some really famous teachers or doctors continue working even though they already passed the retirement age. They are re-hired by the school or hospital again because of their fame and expertise. I think that it’s a good thing to do that, because not only helps the school or the hospital but also lets the new teachers or doctors watch how they their job and learn from people more skilled than they are. Of course, old people don’t have to continue working past the retirement age. Many people enjoy a relaxing retirement. For some people though, work is a way of life and they don’t want to lose it.
