雅思口语part2话题：Describe a practical skill you learned
You should say:
What it was
When you learned it
Why you learned it
And how you felt about it
都说技多不压身，关于实用技能这个话题，对于多才多艺的考生来说并不是什么大问题，干家务这个不能算技能，考生要尽量明确实用技能的定义，比如会修理电视机算技能，但是煮泡面就不算了，除非你能煮出米其林3星那种级别。因为技能相关的内容要具体，所以技能不能过于简单，介绍时要说清楚。
技能是什么?什么时候学的，为什么学以及学会之后的感想。
来自小站雅思君的口语话题思路拓展：
作为一个文科生，很多人的印象只是会背文章，当然不，作为一个大学生，我可是多才多艺的，弹钢琴，伴唱这些不算，我有一项实用技能是很多人不会的，那就是砍价，买东西砍价这个技能非常实用，省钱，但是很多人因为害羞不敢这么做，但是我敢。
好吧，这个技能是2年前跟我妈妈学的，她经常去菜场买菜，跟小贩们讨价还价，比如买鱼送根葱，买鸡蛋送个框，买衣服的时候一定要从半价还起。当然，这个技能到我这里就变成了谈判技能，我觉得这个技能对我未来的工作很有帮助，一方面谈判是沟通交流的过程，让对方知道你的需求，同时你也能通过谈判获得好处，比如商务谈判中会需要出让一部分利益来获取对方的信任换取长期合作。当然，谈判也不能一味让步，该出手时就出手，比如收购公司时，在价格上就一定不能出让太多。
谈判技巧是一个需要积累的过程，很高兴在2年的时间里，我已经逐渐掌握了这项技能，虽然我不会用来买菜。
如何提高雅思口语水平 雅思口语考试技巧大放送
雅思口语考试技巧一：改进发音
发音其实就是要你去发出正确的英文读音。 当然，你应该首先要确保你的语调和节奏都是正确的---这不仅仅是关系着各自单独的发音，同时还有他们在一起时候的发音。
改进发音有一个最重要的方法就是练习。
雅思口语考试技巧二：提高流利程度
从根本上来说，流利其实指的是可以毫不费力地叙述一件事情。 如果一个人在说话的时候比较顺畅连续，少停顿或者是是不停顿，与此同时在说话的时候还没有重复和更改现象，那么这就可以被称为说话流利。
此外，与是否可以正确发音比起来，流利程度往往是与心理因素有着更多的关系的。 要做到流利的话你必须要对自己的词汇量以及还要将每个单词以一种合乎语法的顺序组合起来有足够的信心。换句话说， 流利度就是自己能够非常自信地用英语去表达自己。 为了有效增加你的自信和提高流利程度，你必须要通过大量的工作来不断的提高你的词汇量和语法知识。
雅思口语话题：Mirror
Do you often look in the mirror?
Do you often buy mirrors?
Where do you put mirrors?
Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?
1. Do you often look in the mirror?
思路：可以回答经常照镜子，比如臭美一下，或者检查有没有眼屎，不然就丑大了;当然喜欢化浓妆的人，可能得经常照镜子，尤其是大热天和暴雨天，眼线很容易花的。如果有同学说不怎么照镜子，也是可以嗒，比如只有要挤脸上痘痘时才会想到去找别人借一下镜子。
误区：即使平时不怎么照镜子，同学们也要试试进行一定的扩展，比如上一次照镜子或者无意中路过瞥了一眼是什么时候啦，都是可以的。
语料：
look into the mirror 照镜子
every now and then 偶尔/有时
check my make-up 检查妆容
check my good looks 查看美丽的外表
check how I look 检查下美不美
hair style 发型
with the help of… 在……的帮助下
get rid of… = remove… 去掉……
sleepies 眼屎
stick around 粘着
be addicted to… 沉迷于……
get smudged 晕染了
embarrass oneself 丢脸
范例一：
Well, sometimes! You know, I’m a lady and I’ve got to make sure I look good 24/7. Plus, every now and then I need to check if I’ve got any sleepies sticking around the corner of my eye.
范例二：
I guess so. You might not know this, but I’m quite addicted to heavy make-ups and that. So I kind of have to constantly check my face to see if I’ve got my eyeliners smudged. Otherwise I could potentially scare some people. Did that once actually. Was pouring that day, so my whole face was all gone.
范例三：
Not particularly. You know what, I don’t even own a mirror to be honest. But sometimes I do borrow other people’s mirror for a second just to check the spot on my face. Other than that, I don’t really spend much time looking in some mirrors.
2. Do you often buy mirrors?
思路：不怎么买镜子，我的大部分镜子都是免费的。要么是朋友给的，还有粉饼盒子，它们里面自带镜子的;或者是杂志里面送的赠品。
误区：有的同学会就用粉饼盒子当镜子，但是英文又不确定怎么讲，没关系的，稍微解释一下就行‘I just use my face powder box or container, you know they always come with a powder puff as well as a mirror’
语料：
free gift 赠品
cosmetic products 化妆品
blusher 腮红
foundation powder 粉饼
plastic wrapping 塑料包装纸
范例：
Not at all. In fact, most of the mirrors I’ve got are free, I think. They are either from my friends or just came in some magazines, you know they always put some free gifts in the plastic wrapping.
3. Where do you put mirrors?
思路：可以按照化妆用的小镜子和放家里的大镜子一起分开讲。小镜子一般随身带，塞在手提包里就好了。放在室内的大镜子一般放在浴室啊，门口都行。但是不敢放一个大镜子在卧室，因为恐怖片看多了，害怕;也担心风水。
误区：我们听到题目可能会有些困惑，不知道考官指的是什么镜子。其实这里也没有必要去问考官他或她指的是家里那种大镜子还是小镜子，直接自己分成两种情况去讲就好啦。
语料：
hang… on the wall 挂在墙上
hang… in the bathroom 挂在浴室
be scared 害怕
horror films 恐怖片
all those years 这么多年来
avoid doing… 避免做……
范例：
Well, if you mean the baby ones for my make-ups and that, I always just stuff them in my handbag. But when it comes to the bigger mirrors, you know the ones you put in the house, I think I might prefer to have one on my bathroom wall or anywhere else except in my bedroom, cause I would be quite scared. You know, I’ve watched too many creepy horror films all those years.
4. Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?
思路：先回答yes，然后回答在很多商店都看到他们使用正面的镜子，让整个空间很大。所以自己也要在新的房子里安一个大镜子显得更宽敞。当然大家也可以回答no，说自己家都不用镜子。一般都在等公交车的时候对着车站牌检查发型。
误区：对，大家没有看错，题目就是问镜子是不是一个必须的装饰物。其实可以嗒，大家想想很多商店都用镜子让整个店面显得更大更宽敞，对不对。
语料：appear larger 显得更大
look more spacious 看起来更宽敞
the size of… 和……一样大
范例：
Well, they can be. I’ve seen a lot of shops using a massive mirror the size of a wall and surprisingly that does make the whole place appear twice larger. In fact, I might place some big ones in my new flat to make it look more spacious.
雅思口语话题：History
Do you like to learn about history?
Do you think history is important?
What historical event do you find most interesting?
Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
说到历史，我们并不陌生，因为几乎每个人从小就学习历史。According to Wikipedia, History is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. 也就是说，历史是对过去的研究，尤其是和人相关的研究。
历史在人类社会的发展过程中，起到至关重要的作用。它告诉我们我们是谁，我们来自哪;它让我们穿越时间和空间去思考过去发生了什么，我们从中能学到什么;它使我们更好的了解这个世界。The history plays a vital role in the development of society. It gives us an insight into who we are and where we come from; it helps us stretch our perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and what we can learn from the past; it provides us with a chance to understand the world.
1. Do you like to learn about history?
这是一道喜欢或者不喜欢类的题目，首先我们来学习一下表达‘喜欢’的语言，题目中的like可以替换成be interested in; be into; be fond of; 或者用I find something interesting.不喜欢除了用dislike以外，还可以替换成hate; loathe; be fed up with; be sick of.
关于这道题，通常情况下，我们会回答喜欢，或者不喜欢。注意，答案尽量以Yes, I do.的形式出现，而不是单独的yes。同时也可以替换成Yes, very much so; Yes, definitely; Yes, absolutely等表达。同样，否定的答案，可以用Not really; Not exactly; 或者是，No, it’s not my kind of thing来代替。
若该题目的答案是喜欢，那么我们需要在表明倾向后加以解释，通常是给出原因或例子。除了以上所讲到的历史的作用外，喜欢了解历史的原因还可以是：The historical events are very interesting(历史事件非常有趣);It can make us wise(使人明智)等。
若回答不喜欢，则也须讲明原因，或者讲明不喜欢的地方在哪。这里推荐给考生一个加分的表达：to have a love-hate relationship with something,意思是说对某物或是某件事情既爱又恨。回想我们不喜欢历史的原因，可能更多的是因为我们不喜欢以背诵为主的历史考试，而非我们对历史事件真的不感兴趣。(I’m more interested in historical stories rather than in details of names, dates and places.)
范例1: Yes, very much so. I’d say history is my real love. You know, it’s easy for me to get lost while reading historical books or watching some documentaries. I find history very interesting, mainly because it helps me stretch my perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and how our ancestors experienced things.
范例2: Well, to be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with history, generally because I’m much into the stories and the insights it gives me into the past, but I’m really struggling in the history exams which are usually centered around dates, names and places.
2. Do you think history is important?
关于这道题目，相信我们大多数考生都会给出肯定的回答：历史是重要的。其原因可以是以下几点：
It allows people to understand how culture, politics, economy, society and values developed. (它使得人们了解文化，政治，经济，社会以及价值是如何发展的)
History not only deals with the past but also with how the past led to the present. (历史不仅是关于过去，还关于过去如何导致了现在)
It tells us what happened in the past, so that we avoid repeating mistakes. (他告诉我们过去发生了什么，以帮助我们避免重复错误)
范例：Yes, I think so. History not only deals with the past, but also with how the past led to the present. So it allows people to understand how culture, politics, society and values developed. More importantly, since it tells us what happened in the past, we could avoid repeating mistakes.
3. Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?
了解历史的方式有很多，比如看电影，读书，看纪录片，参观历史景点，上历史课等。(There are many ways to learn about history, such as watching films, reading books, watching documentaries, visiting historical sites, and attending history classes. )。至于哪一种才是了解历史最好的方式(the best way to learn history)，每个人心中的答案各不相同。
这道题目是问，我们是否可以通过看电影或者电视节目这种方式来了解历史。目前，我们的电影类型有很多，比如comedy(喜剧)，action movies(动作片)，science fiction films(科幻片)，martial arts films(功夫片)，romance films(爱情片)，war movies(战争片)等等，至于电视节目，种类更是繁多，常见的有reality shows(真人秀)，talent search(选人才节目)，talk shows(谈话类节目)，variety shows(文艺晚会)，sitcoms(情景喜剧)等等。这些影片或者电视节目多多少少的涉及了一些历史，然而它们的主要目的还是以娱乐和教育为主(entertaining and educational)，以讲述历史为目的还要属documentaries(纪录片)。
回到题目，这是一道是非疑问类的题目，我们的答案可以是肯定的，否定的或者不一定的。然而通过上面的分析，这道题目回答No或It depends可能更容易一些。原因可能是有些电影或是电视节目会根据剧情需要对历史进行改编(Some historical events might be rewritten by editors to satisfy the plot)，每部电影或者电视节目会站在各自不同的角度看待历史，我们容易受电影或节目中人物和剧情的影响(They may show the history from different perspectives, so that we are easy to be influenced by the characters and plots.)，因此我们并不总是能够从电影和电视节目中了解到历史，然而记录片除外，因为其涉及的内容主要是历史或科学(Documentaries mainly deal with history or science)。因此，从纪录片中，我们比较容易了解真正的历史。
范例：It depends. It depends on what the movie or program is. I mean, we usually watch some movies and TV programs in which some historical events are rewritten to satisfy the plots. In this case, I don’t think we can learn the real history. However, we may learn some from documentaries, which are particularly deal with historical issues or science.
4. Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
同样，这也是一道是非疑问类的题目，无论我们的答案是肯定的还是否定的，都需要有充分的支持。例如，这道题目你可以回答‘是’(Yes, I think so; Yes I guess so; Yes sort of)，然后在给出理由，可以是网络资源充分，且免费，查阅方便等等(give a convenient access to information on almost everything)。所以你经常到什么样的网站上去浏览什么样的历史知识。
除此之外，你还可以给出否定的答案(No, I don’t think so; No, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case.)，然后给出原因，可能是因为网络信息并不总是可靠或者客观(not always reliable or objective),也可能是因为网络当中充斥着大量的误导或虚假或歪曲的信息(be awash with some misleading or false or distorted information)，还有可能是因为网络上信息量过于庞大导致很难找到真正有用可靠的信息(With so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need)。因此我们应当慎重使用网络信息(be careful in using the information on the internet)
范例1：Yes, I guess so. It’s mainly because the Internet gives us a convenient access to information on almost everything we need. So I usually go to some news and education websites to read some information about history or other things.
范例2: Well, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case, mainly because the stuff on the Internet is not always reliable or objective. You know, everyone can publish their own ideas on the websites so the Internet might be awash with a huge amount of misleading, false or distorted things. In addition, with so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need. So yeah, that’s basically why I suppose not.
