1. Which new skill do you want to learn? Learning a musical instrument, flying plane or playing a new sport.
从题目所给的三个选择来说,“新技能”这里可以理解为所做的事件或者经历。我们可以认为无论选择有多少,此题还是属于TASK ONE中基本话题“事件经历”一类。选项中“体育”一项更能证明。那么,从题目角度来分析,我们考前准备的相关话题可以涵盖:新技能、体育项目、业余爱好、擅长活动、怎样度过空闲时光等等。因此,这个题目可以演变出多种问法。例如:
What activity would you be more interested in?
What's the best way to spend your weekends?
What's your favorite sport?
What do you do in your spare time (with your friends/with your family member)?
由此我们发现,无论题目的条件变化成什么,选择“你喜欢做的事”来进行回答更为容易。体育项目不仅能锻炼身体,更能培养人的竞争意识和吃苦耐劳的优良品质,所以选择sport回答此题目更为适当,同时也更易准备。至于是游泳、跑步、还是打篮球因人而异,选择一种即可。下文以游泳为主要话题,供各位同学参考。
Sample Answer
For me I prefer to play a new sport, such as swimming. I have rare chances to swim because I was growing up inland. So when I have such opportunity I will definitely go to swimming pool. Swimming in summer is really a good way to avoid heat, relaxing my body and mind, which makes me energetic and vigorous. Also, I think swimming will mould my temperament. I used to be a girl who does everything in a rush, sometimes even make mistakes. By learning swimming, I may focus on details because every swimming stroke needs to be done exactly otherwise I can't swim further, just stay where I was. So I will learn how to swim as a new skill.
2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Cell phone improved our life.
此题为典型的TASK TWO题目,进行观点判断。回答 “yes”更为容易。例举手机优点益处即可,实际回答内容很接近TASK ONE中“物品”类话题。
Sample Answer
I definitely agree with this statement because cell phone benefits life from many aspects. For one thing, it is so convenient that I can use it anywhere. I often chat with my friend David by using my phone anytime as I wish because my phone is so handy and portable. It also helps me to contact with my parents just in case emergency happens.
Another benefit of cell pone is that it is multifunctional. Besides communication, I also use my phone as a dictionary to learn new English words. And sometimes I will listen to music by clicking buttons on its touch screen and even when I am shopping, I use it to check price of products as a calculator. Indeed, cell phone changed our life a lot.
