雅思口语浓缩经典话题——关于传统节日及活动

传统活动在雅思口语中可谓是经典话题。传统话题涵盖的领域极为宽泛，无论是谈论人物、描述事物、还是叙述经历，tradition都是一个很活跃的展开点。比如要谈论活动（events），那么活动具有的传统习俗（traditional ritual）是一个很好的切入点；再比如谈论婚礼，传统婚礼模式（traditional wedding）和西方婚礼模式（western wedding）之间的差异和互补就是一个重点。

今天凯撒国际英语的小编将按照“传统”话题系统分类，并进行一一列举，给出真题实例及参考答案。请小伙伴们好好学习！

传统节日: Describe an important traditional Chinese festival You should metion: when it is celebrated;

What activities are involved;

What is the most interesting thing about it;

And explain what changes have taken place about this festival.分析：考生首先需挑选某个节日 Chinese traditional festival: Spring Festival（春节）、Mid-Autumn Festival（中秋节）、Dragon Boat festival（端午节）、Double Ninth Festival（重阳节）、Pure Brightness Festival（清明节）、Lantern Festival（元宵节）activities： 【回答】: The Spring Festival is the most important traditional Chinese festival and it is also my favorite holiday.On New Year’s Eve, the whole family gets together and has a wonderful supper.After supper, the elders give the children lucky money with which the young can buy whatever they want.During the Spring Festival, people visit their relatives and wish each other ’Happy New Year’.Throughout the Spring Festival, everyone is much more friendly and kinder than at any other time of the year, and you feel that the world is full of love.During the Spring Festival, since there is no school, the children always walk in the streets in groups, singing and laughing.Sometimes they set off firecrackers and generally have a good time.The young always go shopping or go to the parks together, or they stay at home and enjoy special TV programs.There is a peaceful and happy atmosphere.扩展信息：Changes about celebrating the festival: going out to have a get-together dinner or party in restaurants instead of big exhausting home dinner;making a phone call to one’s friends and relatives or sending e-mails or forwarding short messages by cell phone to express good wishes instead of troublesome visiting;taking the advantages of modern communication devices to improve the efficiency.【Cue Card 2】: Describe a traditional event You should say : what is this traditional event;

When and where did it happen;

What do people usually do in this traditional event;And explain why you think this traditional event is special.【回答】: I am a firm believer of a saying” Culture is one of the very few things that can make people get obsessed with forever”.Indeed, it is like a fashion, like a trademark, like a time.It is Cambridge made me know about UK.It is Disney made me know about USA.It is Louis Vuitton made me know about France.Talking about interesting culture, I think the most impressive one is Chinese culture.（注意：本句为经典套句，可以模仿，但句式复杂，同类从句避免运用过多。作为开头，无需用例文中的所有排比句式，建议挑选用，不然显得累赘。）Chinese wedding, as one of the most fantastic parts in（句式不错）Chinese culture, never fails to（双重否定表肯定=can always）draw any attention anytime.Here I would like to tell you about two typical customs involved in Chinese wedding: the hair combing ceremony and door-game playing.Although it is not always performed today, it is a lovely ritual that got special meaning.Anyway, I would do it when I get married.The night before the wedding, the bride is supposed to bathe and then take a seat in front of lit candles.Her hair is combed four times by her mother.It is considered to be fortunate in life.The first combing symbolizes “from beginning to end”（一梳梳到底）.The second means “harmony form youth though old”（二梳白发齐眉）which is followed by the third combing with a wish for many grandchildren（三梳子孙满堂）.And it ends up with the fourth combing offers hope for wealth and a happily-ever-after marriage（白头到老）.Isn’t it sweet?

Another ceremony I wanna talk about here is what we called” Door game”.Say, when groom picks up（接）the bride, and he will be blocked at the front door by bride’s relatives or friends, and the bridesmaids will play door game with the groom and his groomsmen.Bridesmaids will try to stop him from entering by asking tough questions.It is supposed to be a way to test if he really cares about her.They may also do other tricks to delay the bride’s leaving.The groom will try to get through the door by presenting “lucky money”, money wrapped in red envelopes, to the bridesmaid.Finally, the groom has to give the bride a piggy back（give sb a piggy back背某人）to the limo waiting outside.（例文中描述了两种传统婚礼的仪式1.梳头2.撞门游戏。中心段落有些过长，可以不必完全背诵，建议学生参考例文的描写模式。）

Certainly, there are still millions of other cool customs, such as bed setting, 12-course traditional Chinese wedding banquet, bowing procedure, rings exchanging, arm-crossed drinking, paper cutting of dragon and phoenix, double happiness…all of these make Chinese wedding really special.（最后一段列举了鞠躬，交换戒指，交杯酒，龙凤剪纸，双喜剪纸，建议烤鸭们可以参考一下这些术语的英语表达）

“武装到唇边”的ANSWER: 【Question 1】:

Do you think people need festivals? 分析：建议考生回答“是”。The answer is probably yes.然后给出理由。Tell why it is so by giving some specific reasons.【ANSWER】: Absolutely.For one thing, people need to take some time off their normal duties and relax.There is always a holiday atmosphere during these times and that’s important.Also it gives an opportunity for people to socialize.And it’s a time for get together.Family reunion, in my opinion, is one of the most charming and exciting things about festivals.It strengthens family bonds.【Question 2】:

Are there any traditional skills in your country? 思路拓展：考生可以考虑：What are they? Do you think people try to learn these skills? 【ANSWER】: Well, yes.We have all kinds of skills such as woodcarving（木雕）, sculpturing（雕塑）, paper cutting（剪纸）, sewing（缝纫）and knitting（编织）, cooking local food and so on.But less and less people nowadays are showing interest in traditional skills.I think the reason is that modern science and technology is developing with a faster pace than ever before.So many high-tech products and devices are available for modern consumers that they tend to think science and technology is what life is all about, and they tend to care less and less about the humanities, histories and traditions.分析：由于传统技术本身就是一种文化遗产（cultural heritage），因此技术其实是对传统的一种继承形式。由于现代科技的发展速度过快，导致人们产生“重科技、轻人文”的思维倾向；很显然，该回答把人们不欣赏传统技术的原因归结为“科技发展 VS 人文传统”的两元对立。于是，在我们阐述原因的同时，就很巧妙地把隐藏在深处的humanities, histories and traditions推到了台前，显示出讲话者的人文关怀。而在谈到年轻人不再关心传统技术的时候，也折射出对于传统文化渐渐式微的一种忧虑之心。

通过以上的学习和分析，希望同学们对雅思口语传统活动的题目能够做到胸有成竹，在回答上也能更自然更流畅。敬请关注凯撒国际英语，更多精彩内容等你来分享~

第二篇：雅思口语话题

Exciting sport: Skiing

Skiing is one of the most exciting sports I’ve ever experienced.The equipments you need to to ski include skiing suit, boots, skiing boards and the sticks.Often, we ski in mountains where there’s snow.You first go to the upper side of a slope by a cable car usually.There are different slopes to choose from, according to your skills.And then you could start your snow travel.When skiing, you should bend down to keep balance and control direction by using the sticks.It is dangerous to keep your back straight or to look at the ground.By doing so, you may fall down easily.At first, I felt scared when sliding so fast from high.My coach told me that the more you feel scared, the more likely you will fall down.After several practices, I left behind the fear and begin to enjoy the excitement.It’s just like flying, flying above the white snow in the sun.Hearing the sound of wind, you’ll get the excitement.Famous mountains for skiing include Alps in Swisserland, mountains in Canada as well as those in Northeast China.It is easy to get hurt when skiing.So its important to wear helmets and knee pads in case of accident.Appliance: Microwave oven:

第三篇：雅思口语话题：family

每天一练，雅思口语必然上线，多读多听多练乃高分三大法宝，上海环球雅思为您准备了今天的雅思口语小练习，希望对大家有帮助噢，坚持就是胜利！

What is Family? How do you define a family?

People who care and love each other with a heart filled with respect.I would define my Family as a breath of fresh air!

People who you hate most of the time, but are forced to love unconditionally :

Bunch of people who will make you sometimes happy, sometimes sad but are always there when you need them, when you are going through good times and bad.The ones that are there for you all your life through good and bad.they love and care for you even if you are the most hated person in the world, and always have a shoulder to lean on.Some words to describe Family!

fun, loving, caring, compassionate, thoughtful, wonderful

exciting, joyful, protective, loving, functional

togetherness, lovable, trustworthy, funny, adventuress,spontanious, fun filled, halarious, god's angelsm, comforting

Say something about your Family!

My maternal grandfather's ancestor came from...My family is big and hectic, but we're always there for each other.definately protective.Unconventional, free-spirited, slightly bonkers, and occasionally irritating.But compassionate, well-meaning and generally pretty great.We're not wealthy in assets, but we are richest in unity and support.Mostly we just get together for major family events.My immediately family is kind of large and I would not consider us close, though many outsiders do.I guess we are at least rather involved in each other's lives for people to say that.However, each of us is an individual and independent of the others, so that's what makes me say that we are not close.We get along, in general, though.That is the important thing.And even within the immediate family, we're not especially close, we just kind of sit around and have meaningless conversations, and the closest we ever come to actual 'family time' anymore is maybe sitting down to play a few argument-filled hands of Gin Rummy.

第四篇：雅思口语话题advertisement

【advertisement】雅思口语话题参考答案+音频范例

作者 : 雅思

这次推出的是雅思口语的范例分析，绝非标准答案，也没有标准答案这一说，思维方式不同，聊天的方式就不一样。以下的范例是哥委托8.5分达人朱宁老师的原创作品，仅供同学们参考，切勿在实际考试中照搬！

1.Do you like watching advertisements?

Answer 1: Hmm, I wouldn’t say I like them,because when I try to watch a video, they are there for like a minute or two,which really annoys me.Answer 2: I’m fine with advertisements, not commercials though.Some magazine ads are really cool and creative.Sometimesit’s interesting to see them.2.What types of advertisements are therein your country?

I think there are tons of them.When youwalk in downtown area in a city, you see billboards, neon signs or posters.Whenyou ride on a bus, you see ads on the back of each chair.And of course TVcommercials are insane, you can’t avoid them in China.3.Have you bought anything because ofadvertisements?

Yes, I can name a few.For example, Ibought my first pair of Nike shoes after I saw their ad.And when I shop on theinternet, I don’t normally have a shopping list, mostly I buy things from ads,so things like hairdryers, books, clothes etc.4.Will you look at the advertisement onthe street?

Well, if I’m just having a walk, sure, I’lllook at them.But if I’m on my way somewhere, I won’t care what’s going on in thoseadvertisements.5.Do you prefer ads on TV or on theinternet? Maybe ads on the internet, because I canjust close the pop-up ads real quick whereas on TV, there isn’t much you can dobut just wait for like a long time til they are over.

第五篇：雅思口语话题：Sports

环球雅思教研组为大家带来口语话题练习一份，主要是对近期流行的话题进行分析，并预测了雅思口语考点，希望对大家2014年雅思口语考试有所帮助！

题目：Sports

解题思路：What sport do you like? Do your friends like sport?

Do you often do exercises at university? Is there any sports equipment near your home? How often do you do exercise?

Do you think it is necessary for children to do exercise?

素材：Is any tennis court available at 3pm this afternoon? I wanna book one.预定场地

Stretch, warm up.任何运动前都要做一些准备活动。Stretch这里指伸展运动，warm up是热身。可以说Let’s do some stretch first.We’d better warm up first.Wise up, mate!Concentrate!

如果你的peer，也就是你的partner在比赛中老是无谓的失误，messed up everything，你忍无可忍无需在忍，可以说wise up, mate!放机灵点儿，哥们儿!或者说Concentrate!集中注意力。Harvey打网球时就经常让双打的peer练“气”功，“keep your eyes open, Harvey!”，“Time to wake up，Harvey!”“Wise up, Harvey!”„„

Sorry boss, my fault.Sorry brother, my bad.知错能改，善莫大焉。Boss和Brother在口语上比起Mate的称呼，更有礼下于人的语气。

No worries, buddy.It’s OK.That’s a good try.责己严，待人宽是中华民族的优良传统。当你的peer 说sorry 时，你肯定会说：“No worries, buddy, It’s OK.”甚至口是心非的安慰他，“That’s a good try.”你刚才的那一拍(虽然可能把都裁判打伤了)很有创意哟!

It’s me.Me.I’ll get it.I’ll take it.It’s mine.在双打比赛中，如果你的位置比较好，想自己接这个球，想表达中文“这个球是我的”或者“我来接”，只要对同伴说It’s me，或者大叫一声“Me”就行了。当然如果时间充裕，你可以慢腾腾的说I’ll get it，老外也能理解。It’s mine的说法老外很少用。It’s my ball的说法没人用。

Gotcha!如果你打球时假动作逼真，骗过了对手，球回到令对手意想不到的地方而得分，就可以自鸣得意的大叫一声“Gotcha!”，意思是(I’ve)got you，骗到你了吧!不知大家记不记得电影《小鬼当家》，小机灵用玩具水枪吓得歹徒落荒而逃后，满脸童真的笑意，说了一句“Gotcha!”如果你开玩笑，朋友却信以为真，也可以说Gotcha，骗到你了吧。

【参考范文】：

Nowadays many people spend too much time indoors working or studying, but outdoor activities are very important for us to keep healthy.I like many outdoor activities, especially jogging.I often jog in the park near my home on sunny days.I can listen to music and breathe the fresh air while I jog so I can feel really relaxed.When I jog in the park, I can also see the green trees and beautiful flowers.I can feel close to the nature.It’s also a good time for me to think important things in life.I feel it’s an important part of my daily life.Sometimes, I would ask my friends or parents to join me.It’s also a good time to communicate with others.It’s a simple activity;you only need a pair of good sneakers.It’s also suitable for many people, from children to old people.They can enjoy this activity.I think everybody should do some outdoor activities because it’s a great way to help us get close to the nature.It’s not only good for our physical fitness but also good for our mental health.
