经典雅思口语素材集

雅思口语话题：smoking

The nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If you smoke, you hurt your lungs and heart each time you light up. It also can make it more difficult for blood to move around in the body, so smokers may feel tired and cranky. The longer you smoke, the worse the damage becomes.

The Other Cost of Smoking

Using tobacco eats up a lot of money, too. A pack of cigarettes costs $4, on average. That means, even if you buy just one pack a week, you'll spend $208 in a year. Some people smoke a pack a day, which adds up to $1,460! That's a lot of CDs, computer games, and clothes.

Harry Potter:

Harry has a distant goal to get to, he has enormous numbers of obstacles placed in front of his and monsters who he has to face, and challenge and overcome and bewitchments which he has to resist, and all the time, pressing onward towards his goal. In some way, Harry Potter is a modern Odysseus.

哈里·波特

哈里有遥远的目标要实现，面前有无数的障碍，有要面对的怪物，要克服的挑战和要抵抗的诱惑，要一直奋力朝目标前进。从某种意义上来说，哈里·波特正是一个现代的奥德修斯。

Using myths and legends from all over the world, J. K. Rowling has created a world of her own, an enchanting realm magically unites children worldwide.

"Casablanca" has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years. It has aged well and will continue to age well. It takes time for a movie to be earning the label "timeless."

Forrest Gump

This is a modern day fairy tale demonstrating that love, dignity and perseverance conquer all. “Forrest Gump”runs the viewer through the entire spectrum of emotions as it tells the story of a slow thinking innocent kid traversing through five decades of life.

玩具总动员Toy Story

Disney began making quality family shows again in the 1980s. A quality family show is one where the parents can enjoy it as much as the kids. "Toy Story" took it one step further and added state of the art technology to provide a wonderful Disney story. We all have wondered if our toys came alive, but we never knew that there would be so much team work.

Another genre that had been unsuccessful for years was the slapstick comedy. This story, Home Alone, about a little boy protecting his home from bumbling crooks had all of the right ingredients; good vs. bad, youth vs. age, and brain vs. brawn. The Rube Goldberg like contraptions coupled with the comedic talents of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci provide an entertainment that had almost become a lost art form.

The film, Dances With Wolves, was able to break the trend and deliver a compelling historical drama about life with the Sioux Indians. The buffalo hunt is spectacular and demonstrates the vastness and beauty of the country.

E. T. was directed by Steven Spielberg.

《E. T. 外星人》是由史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格导演的。

Spielberg got to make the story of E. T., one that still over 20 years later is reaching out and touching audiences.

斯皮尔伯格拍成了《E. T. 外星人》，20多年来这部电影仍让影迷们喜爱与感动着。

The film is set in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century.

It is still too early to tell what movies will become classics and what movies will become dated.

I’ve been in my movie business almost all my life.

我一生从事电影事业。

Chinese martial art comes together with Hollywood.

中国武术在好莱坞已有立足之地。

This film is rated G.

That movie had me on the edge of my seat.

That love story was too melodramatic.

A lousy movie cannot fool the audience.

I may feel different about any of these movies two years from now.

There are films revealing more social problems, such as racial or * discriminations, government corruption, the true color of so-called higher class. They make me more mature after watching them.

Those comedies, love stories and adventures are either na?ve or unrealistic.

I usually watch films through TV or VCD, DVD in my home.

Just like romance and comedy movie, a violent film relaxes and entertains millions movie fans. However uniqueness of violent movie is that it may have negative impact on people, particularly young audience.

- 8 -

For certain segment of audience, it may be harmful if being viewed without proper guidance and control.

There have been cases of crime in which offenders, when surveyed, revealed that they got the idea to commit a crime from violent movie.

We need to control access of violent movies to people under certain age and offer guidance to young viewers.

What's the main difference between modern films and those in the past?

Okay, I think that modern films are less serious, um, because there is more comedy in these films. I would say, uh, hmm, that modern films are more relaxed. To begin, modern films are much more expensive to make and they have famous actors in them. There is also, uh, a lot of slang and violence and other cultural attributes in these pictures. As for the more classical pictures, they are classy and the actors and actresses dress more conservatively and there spoken, uh, English is more classic and proper. Older films teach values that all humans should have whereas, hmm, the newer films are just sometimes more about making money and people famous. In my opinion, I like the newer films better because, uh, overall they are just much more entertaining and the hmm, the older films are maybe, I guess, more about art and teaching.

As a person gets older, exercise becomes more important because after age 30 the heart’s blood pumping capacity declines at a rate of about 8 percent each decade.

Exercise is also important for children. Vigorous physical activity helps a child’s overall development. Research shows that exercise can reduce the gathering of cholesterol on artery walls of children and adults. Too much cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease. There is, however, no evidence that exercise prolongs life. Former athletes do not live longer than nonathletes, nor are they saved from heart disease. The benefits of exercise cannot be kept for more than a few months or years without continued exercise. Even Olympic-level athletes will go back rapidly to pre-training levels once they stop exercise. The amount of activity necessary for fitness varies from person to person. Age, physical structure, health, and gender are important factors.

世界各国的“为足球痴狂”的情况：

Soccer becomes part of European culture.

To meet the fans in the stands at football games across Europe.

They wear face paint, shout at the teams they love or hate and go crazy when talking about the players they think truly stink.

In Europe, soccer has so long a history that it has become part of the culture. But each European country has its own “football culture”.

Britain: British football is not necessarily the best in the world, but its football marketing is no doubt the most successful of all European counties.

- 16 -

The English Premier League draws global television audiences, and Michael Owen and David Beckham have become worldwide superstars.

Part of the reason comes from Briton’s love of the sports.

Many British football fans enjoy gathering in pubs to talk about their favorite teams and players and to watch games together.

The Winchester Hall Tavern in London is one of the most famous football pubs in Britain. The large old Victorian pub is equipped with five TVs and a big screen. It’s so large that it never gets packed.

Partly due to the excessive drinking in the pubs, Britain also produces some infamous hooligans, who have become an increasing headache for police offices in Europe.

Germany: According to 1996 report to the European parliament, German fans tend to come from the middle class of society, and can be divided into three broad types.

The “consumer-oriented” fan will sit in the stands or seek a quite spot on the terraces and just wants to see good games.

The “football-oriented” fan dressed in his team’s colours and badges, is a member of the supporter’s club, stands on the terraces and supports his club through thick and thin.

The “adventure-oriented” fan will change his spot on the terraces from game to game and wants to see something happen, whether it has anything to do with football or not.

Italy: Football culture is an extended form of town .

France: Football in France has never attracted the numbers of live spectators, or inspired such passionate support, as in other European countries. Despite the current popularity of the sport, even major cities cannot have more than one team, and matches attract on average only a third of the spectators of their equivalents in Italy, England and Spain.

The interest has increased largely due to the successes of French teams in international competition and accompanying large scale investment in the “promotion” of football.

The revival of popular interest in football and the increase in attendance at football matches have led to a diverse group of fans.

The majority of spectators are both from the working class and the middle class.

Some have even described the fans in French as: “with the exception of the upper classes, all of society is found in the stadium”.

Football craze

In recent years more and more people have been drawn to football. Football fan clubs and associations have been set up across the country. In fact, football is becoming such a focus of interest that even football fans are becoming celebrities.

Football fans, form a special informal social group and their emergence “boils down to people’s desire to belong to something”.

Football satisfies this desire of belonging, as fans can organize themselves into groups to support a team through good times and bad.

The reason that football had become so popular was that anyone could be a supporter. You do not have to take exams to be supporter; you even don’t have to be able to play football.

The competitive nation of the game gives fans a sense that they are part of a special social group. With its fierce rivalry and mass participation, football is unique. It is the world’s No. One sport. The huge size of the field also gives a chance for the players to be creative and for the spectators to look on in awe.

- 17 -

People can express themselves through football. And it’s quite easy to learn and play the sport: you need only a ball.

Whilst in European counties people have always been aware of football’s power to make supporters react in such an intense and passionate way, this was the first time for the Chinese public to see such a response. The May 19 incident ironically had the effect of drawing more fans to the games rather than turning them away.

The response contrasted to May 19, 1985, when after hearing that China had failed to get into the World Cup finals, fans went on a rampage and started burning cars and causing fires on the streets of Beijing.

"One world, One Dream"—Slogan of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

"One World, One Dream," is an embodiment of the wisdom of hundreds of thousands of people. It expresses the firm belief of a great nation, with a long history of 5,000 years and on its way towards modernization, that is committed to peaceful development, a harmonious society and people’s happiness.

The slogan is simple, meaningful, inspiring, and easy to remember, read and spread.

The Olympic Games are unique in their ability to attract the world’s attention, using sport to promote peace and understanding.

雅思口语两个主题卡片的回答

1. Please describe an adventurous person.

You have to include:

Who the person is;

why you think this person is adventurous;

Well. Talking about an adventurous person, I would pick myself, because I am a rather adventurous person myself. I'd always like to try new things and do it on my own.

Just two years ago, I went to Tibet all by myself. Just imagine, one girl, alone, going to such a remote place, not to mention all the risks one has to take to go to the highest plateau in the world. It must take a lot of guts.

The pilgrimage and adventure started right away after my arrival in Lah'sa. I was not with a tour group. I visited Buddalah Palace and a few Lamah temples. Then after a short stay in Lah'sa, I took my way to another city in Tibet. I don't remeber the name of that city now. But that one is not as developed as Lah'sa. There are not even hotels or inns. So during the day, I traveled; at night, I homestayed with the local people. They are very nice to me though. However, the whole adventure is very meaningful to me, because I brought back charms and amulets from temples in the high moutains. I believe God will bless me through those charms.

So, anyway, I am an adventurous person. And I'll keep on exploring the wonderful creation God has made.

- 18 -

2. Please describe a food/dish

Well, I choose to talk about my favorite vegetable salad. I am just crazy about vegetable salad. People call me vegetable-maniac. This particular salad has many vegetables, broccoli, spinach, tomato, and some cheese. I don't know how to make this salad. But I love it very much. Because, number one, it tastes great. Number two, it is green and healthy. Number three, it doesn't make me fat. And there is even a story behind this salad. I met my boyfriend because of it. One day, I was in this buffet restaurant. I was about to take this vegetable salad, while a man also came to take it. He is so cute. We started talking. And then it led into seeing each other. So I'll never forget this salad. My love salad.

如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.

They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.

Marketing: key to producing bestsellers

Books are often made popular by how well they are promoted, rather than how well they are written. At least this is certainly true of some novels.

Bestsellers (best-selling books) 畅销书

Behind every bestseller there is a huge investment into the promoted campaign.

We invested a considered sum of money into it, and the income is worth the investment.

Before Rich Dad Poor Dad was printed in China, the company had it promoted in more than 40 advertisements in newspapers and magazines and over 600 websites in just one month.

Books have to be advertised to get the public’s attention.

There are so many books company in the market. If you don’t promote it and just rely on word of month, it’s doomed to fail.

To promote a book, a publishing house first decides on a good topic and invites a write to write on it.

If you find the right topic, the topic readers are interested in, you find the market, then you have done half the job of making your book succeed.

What I like reading best are biographies of all kinds of people, especially those successful ones, for they are educational, can lift my spirit, give me energy and lead me to a right road.

关于Gwendolyn Brooks格温多林·布鲁克斯

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than twenty books published. She was known around world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote many poems about being black during the Nineteen-Forties and Nineteen-Fifties. Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.

Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said

- 40 -

she found most of her material looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment house in Chicago, Illinois.

In Nineteen-Fifty, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called "Annie Allen." "Annie Allen" is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor.

One of Gwendolyn Brooks most famous poems is called "We Real Cool". It is a short poem that talks about young people feeling hopeless:

"We real cool. We left school. We lurk late. We strike straight. We sing sin. We thin gin. We jazz June. We die soon."

关于ERNEST HEMINGWAY海明威

"A writer is always alone, always an outsider," Ernest Hemingway said. Others said that of the many people he created in his books, Hemingway was his own best creation.

The novel was called the sun also rises. It is about young Americans in Europe after world war one. The war had destroyed their dreams. And it had given them nothing to replace those dreams.

The book was an immediate success. At the age of twenty-five Ernest Hemingway was famous.

Hemingway's sentences were short, the way he had been taught to write at the Kansas City Star newspaper. He wrote about what he knew and felt. He used few descriptive words. His statements were clear and easily understood.

He was able to paint in words what he saw and felt.

His new book told about an American soldier who served with the Italian army during world war one. He meets an English nurse, and they fall in love. They flee from the army, but she dies during

(22) childbirth. Some of the events are taken from Hemingway's service in Italy. The book is called a Farewell to arms.

A farewell to arms was very successful.

In nineteen-sixty-one Ernest Hemingway killed himself. Among the papers he left was one that described what he liked best:

"to stay in places and to leave...to trust, to distrust...to no longer believe and believe again...to watch the (43) changes in the seasons...to be out in boats...to watch the snow come, to watch it

- 41 -

go...to hear the rain...and to know where I can find what I want."

☆ 老人在中国和西方的生活：

It a common tradition in China that children live together with their parents until they are married, and often children still live with the parents after they are married.

- 44 -

在中国，孩子们结婚前一直与父母生活在一起是很普遍的，许多人婚后仍和父母共同生活。

In China the grandparents stay on with the family and look after the grandchildren while the parents are at work.

中国的祖父母一直和全家人住在一起，儿女们一起去上班时的时侯，他们照看孙子孙女们。

In North America, old people usually live alone. If they are too old to take care of themselves, or if they’re really old, day over 75, then they usually live in old-folk’s homes, nursing homes, or special apartment complexes designed for senior people.

在北美，老人们一般是单独生活。如果他们年纪太大生活不能自理，或者已逾古稀之年，比如说过了75岁了，他们便住进老人院、疗养院或专为老年人设计建造的有综合设施的公寓。

I do think that living together with the parents when we marry would be nice for the child’s stability and would also let the parents feel like an important part of the family.

我的确认为何老人们共同生活可以使孩子有稳定感，同时也让老人们觉得自己仍是家庭的重要成员。

It looks like it depends on how rich a family is weather to live with the parent when we marry or not.

婚后是否与父母一起生活似乎要看一个家庭的富有程度。

That’s the trouble in some cases. Living with people of different generations isn’t always easy. It requires some sacrifices and tolerance of other’s behavior.

在有些情况下，那也很麻烦。几代人一起生活并不总是很容易相处的，这需要做出几点牺牲，并能宽容别人的行为。

In China it’s often the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law who don’t get on well enough, until both sides agree to live apart. And it’s socially acceptable if the younger couple help the old couple in ways that are necessary. Well, for example, when the parents are strong enough to live on their own the children are expected to help when needed. When the parents are too old to take care of themselves, they should be moved back to the children’s home where they are properly fed, clothed and sheltered.

在中国经常是婆媳关系不好，只要双方同意分家。社会也能接受这种做法，只要小夫妻能以必要的方式帮助两位老人。嗯，比如说，父母体力尚好能独立生活的时候，儿女们只在需要的时候帮忙。父母年事已高不能自理时，让他们搬回儿女家，衣、食、住都能得到周到的照顾。

A common stereotype of older Americans is that they are usually "put away" in nursing homes and forgotten about. Actually, only about 5 percent live in some type of institution. More than half of those 65 or older live with or near at least one of their children. The vast majority of the elderly live alone and take care of themselves. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 75 percent own their own homes. Over a million senior adults live in retirement communities. These provide residents with meals, recreation, companionship, medical care and a safe environment.

一般人对美国老人家的刻板印象是被「遣送到」养护院去，然后被人遗忘。然而事实上，只有百分之五的人住在此类机构中，超过半数的六十五或六十五岁以上老人，是与孩子同住或住在其中一个孩子的附近。绝大部份的老年人是自己住并自己照顾自己的，根据美国户口调查局的统计，他们百分之七十五拥有自己的房子，超过一百万名老年人住在退休者的社区中，这些社区为其居民提供饮食、娱乐、友谊、医疗照顾、以及安全的环境。

☆ 关于代沟：

One important cause of the generation gap in the China nowadays is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. In the past, China is more traditional, and when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their people know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. But now, a increasing number of young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry—or live with—people whom their parents have never met and choose occupations different from those of their parents.

Also, the speed at which changes are taking place in China is another cause of the gap between the generations. In the past, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but now the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.

☆ 关于一位老人的病逝，看看你得到什么启发：

At 82 he was ready to die, and I was ready to let him go so that his suffering would end. We laughed and cried and held hands and told each other of our love and agreed that it was time. I said,“Dad, after you have gone I want a sign from you that you are fine,” He laughed at the absurdity of that; Dad didn't believe in reincarnation. I wasn't positive I did either, but I had had many experiences that convinced me I could get some signal“ from the other side”.

My father and I were so deeply connected I felt his heart attack in my chest at the moment he died. Later I mourned that the hospital, in their sterile wisdom, had not let me hold his hand as he had slipped away.

父亲82岁那年，生命垂危，将撒手人寰，我已做好准备，这样他的痛苦能够终止。我们开心地笑,我们痛苦地哭，我们牵着彼此的手，我们告诉彼此是多么地相爱，我们坦然面对这分手的时候。我说，“爸爸，您去后我要您给我个信号，告诉我您一切都好。”爸爸对这荒唐的想法哈哈大笑；他不相信来世转生。不过，我也不能说我就相信，但我有很多经历让我确信我可以从“那个世界 ”得到一些信号。

- 46 -

父亲和我是如此血肉相连，以致他死的那一刻，我胸中也感到他的心力衰竭。后来我很悲哀：医务人员为防传染 ，父亲悄然离世时,没让我握着他的 手 。

☆ 关于老龄化问题（Old-age Boom）

It’s time-honored virtue to respect the elderly. That’s why their own flesh and blood are supposed to look after them.

Well-being / Farewell is something, because seniors will lead a much more comfortable life.

☆关于美国老年人（可以与中国老人比较）

We all like to imagine that we're getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy observing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.

我们都喜欢想象着自己能够越来越有智能，而不只是变老，我们大部份人也同时较喜欢观察别人成长的奇迹。例如：看到我们的孩子长大并学习新的事物使我们感到骄傲。

Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, "You're as young as you feel." Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least "young at heart."

在美国这个以年轻人为中心的社会中，老化对人们而言并不是一件愉快的事，大部份的美国人都希望自己看起来年轻、行动年轻、并且感觉年轻，如一句古老的名言说：「你感觉自己有多年轻，你就有多年轻。」老年人说自己的年龄时常开玩笑说自己是多少 years young，而不说多少 years old 。某些文化中的人视老年人为经验与智能的资源，可是美国人似乎比较喜欢年轻人，或者至少是「心里年轻」的人。

Many older Americans find the "golden years" to be anything but golden. Economically, "senior citizens" often struggle just to get by. Retirement-typically at age 65-brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social Security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely-even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. Of course, not all elderly Americans have such negative experiences. But old age does present unique challenges.

许多美国的老年人觉得他们的「黄金年代」一点都不黄金。在经济上来说，老年人常是挣扎着勉强度日。退休--通常在六十五岁的时候--使个人收入骤减，而社会保障制度的福利并不能补足差额，老年人常遭遇营养、医疗照顾、和居住环境的问题。有些人甚至曾经碰到年龄歧视的问题，在一九八七年有一位美国的社会学家派特·摩尔装扮成老人在街上游荡，结果

- 47 -

人们多半对她很粗鲁，甚至骗她或抢她的东西，可是当她穿著年轻时，人们就对她尊重多了。当然也不是所有的美国老人家都有这样糟糕的经验，不过年纪大确实会遭遇一些特别的挑战。

Ironically, the elderly population in America is expanding-fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged "baby boomers" are rapidly entering the ranks of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles are "in." Marketing experts are already focusing on this growing group of consumers. And even now the elderly have a great deal of political power. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), with over 30 million members, has a strong voice in Washington.

而很不幸偏偏美国老年人口又正在扩增中--很快速地扩增，为什么呢？因为现在的人越来越长命，婴孩的出生却减少，而当初在婴儿潮时出生现在是中年人的很快地就要进入老年阶段了，美国恐怕马上会成为一个皱纹「很流行」的国度。行销专家们已经开始注意这群人口持续增加中的消费者，而这群老年人现今甚至在政治上也相当有力，因为美国退休人员协会拥有超过三千万的会员，对华盛顿具相当的影响力。

Despite the challenges they face, Americans in their "twilight years" generally refuse to give up on life. They find a variety of ways to keep themselves active. To help them stay in shape, they may join mall walkers clubs, fitness programs and even the "Senior Olympics." They can enjoy hours of entertainment at senior centers and adult amusement parks. Many enroll in continuing education programs to maintain their mental skills.

纵然他们遭遇挑战，处在迟暮之年的美国老年人通常还是不愿意放弃他们的生活，他们寻求各种不同的方法使自己更有活力，为了保持强健的身体状况，他们参加购物中心的竞走俱乐部、健身课程、甚至奥林匹克老人运动会。他们可以在老人中心和成人公园里逍遥好几个小时，许多人报名参加延伸制教育以维续他们的心智技能。

☆关于年轻人与老年人：

The young live in the present rather than in the past or future.

The young should feel grateful to the older generation, who has created a good life for them.

The older generation fought in the two world wars. They faced real problems, but the young have an easier life.
