【范例】

Q: What’s your favorite kind of books?
A: Reading is one of my biggest hobbies and actually I read many different kinds of books. Among all those types, I like novels best. Some people may argue that stories in novels are all made up and not real. I do not agree with that. Though novels are creations of their authors, they still kind of reflect the reality since they are usually based some true experience.

Q: Have you ever given others books as gifts?
A: Yes, of course. As I have just told you, I love reading and also I love sharing with others. When I find that a certain book is interesting, I will always buy some and give them to my friends. To some extent, I think books as gifts are more meaningful than other things. The reason is that people who receive books as presents can really learn something from them.

 

口语part2话题解析
今天给大家解析的是一月雅思口语考试part2新题：
Describe a person you know that has made a contribution to the society.（描述一个你认识的为社会做出杰出贡献的人物）
对于这个新话题，同学们可以把它和之前的身居要职的题目合并起来，在身居要职的题目中，即describe a person whose job is important to the society，我们需要描述这个人的身份，他/她的工作，你是如何知道这个人的以及为什么他/她的工作对社会很重要。在准备这个雅思口语话题的时候，我们也可以进行套用相应的素材和结构。

 

【基本框架】

所以整体的框架就可以定为，第一部分先说一下这个人的身份，他/她和你之间的关系，以及你们的相识过程。在这个部分也可以描述一下这个人的外貌或者性格方面的内容。
第二部分可以描述一下这个人的职业或者是他/她做过的一些事情，可以从他/她的工作内容的方面去进行扩充。扩充的时候也可以注意切合一下前面提到的这个人的性格。
最后一部分当然是最重要的，我们需要去描述这个人对社会做出了怎样的贡献，或者说这个人对社会的一个影响。

 

【范文展示】

I have a friend called John. From my perspective, he has made a contribution to the society. When I travelled in Beijing last summer, I met him by chance. We both chose the Youth Hostel to live in and we shared the same room at that time. Since both of us love travelling, we had many common topics and became friends quickly. After that travel, we often communicate with each other through e-mails.
He is a high school physics teacher. He is usually busy on weekdays with his work. But as a teacher, he has summer and winter holidays every year. Sometimes he will go travelling around the world. But most of the time, he will take part in a program called Supporting Education. OK, I will introduce this program first. You know, in China, many children in remote areas cannot receive any formal education because lack of teachers. So teachers can volunteer to take part in this program and give lessons to those poor children.
Though many people will think this is no big deal, in my opinion, he has actually made a contribution to the society. Firstly, he has given lessons to many children in remote areas. In other words, many poor children have received some formal education because of him. Education is one of the most important things in the world, so in this sense, he has contributed something. Besides, he has set an example for many of his colleagues. Many teachers of other subjects also have also taken part in the program and given lessons to those children. To some extent, more children have got some knowledge because of him. So I think he has made a contribution to the society.
