雅思口语：如何用英文谈论住所

 考试part1部分，通常是一些对于生活类话题的考察，这部分主要是看大家对语言的日常应用能力。本期新通教育口语老师贾琼超为同学们讲解如何用英文谈论住所。同学们可以从贾琼超老是的讲解当中学习一下老师的表达方式及用词，融入到自己的口语表达当中去。

上期我们讲了如何用英文谈论住所，比如如何回答考官的以下问题：“Where do you live?” “Could you please describe the place where you live?”。今天我们一起来谈下: What do you like or dislike about your home? What would you change if you could?

表达对家的喜欢可以用到的词汇有：spacious(large with lots of rooms), cozy(comfortable in a warm, welcoming way), light(a home with lots of natural light), warm(comfortable in winter), cool(comfortable in summer), convenient(close to your job, shops, children’s school)。比如可以说It’s convenient for my office或者it’s convenient for the subway。但是如果你不喜欢自己的家，可以用到以下词汇：cramped(small without enough room), dark(does not get much natural light), drafty(lets in cold air in the winter), stuffy(uncomfortable and airless in the summer), noisy. 完整的表达可以是：“My home is light and spacious, but it can get very drafty in the winter. 或者可以说：“I like my apartment because it’s cozy, although it can get noisy, because there’s a restaurant just downstairs.” 还可以加入哪些描述住所的内容呢?我们可以试着谈谈who you live with. Do you live by yourself, or do you live with your parents or friends? 比如我们可以说：“I live with my parents.” “I live in a shared house. I have four flatmates.” “I live by myself.”

再来看看可以加入什么别的信息，比如talking about your neighborhood. 首先注意，neighborhood不是一个人，而是the area near your home. 所以，你家在哪呢?Is it in the city center, or in the suburbs, or outside the city? 如果是住在城外，do you live on the outskirts of the city, in a village, or in the middle of nowhere? 还有你的neighborhood是quiet or lively? Trendy or boring? 有没有很多的shops, cafes, bars和restaurants? 有没有parks or sports facilities? 比如，我们可以说：“I live in a very lively area just south of the city center. There are lots of cafes, shops, and places to go.” 或者说：“I live in a quiet neighborhood in the suburbs, in the north of the city. It’s a new area, and it’s nice but also quite boring. There isn’t really anything to do.”

好了，整合一下上面信息我们可以给出以下回答：“I live in a two-storey terraced house. It has two bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen and a garden. It’s cozy and convenient for getting to work, but it’s a bit cramped, especially when we have guests. I live with my wife and daughter. Our house is near the city center, in a quiet neighborhood. There isn’t much to do, but there are some small shops and a park where we go if the weather’s nice.” 或者也可以说：“I live by myself in a studio apartment. It just has one main room, with a tiny kitchen. It’s very warm in winter, but it can get a bit stuffy in summer. I live in the city center, very close to everything. It’s very lively, with lots of bars and restaurants. It’s a good place for young people to live, but not many families choose to live here.”
