1. Which new skill do you want to learn? Learning a musical instrument, flying plane or playing a new sport.
從題目所給的三個選擇來說,“新技能”這里可以理解為所做的事件或者經(jīng)歷。我們可以認為無論選擇有多少,此題還是屬于TASK ONE中基本話題“事件經(jīng)歷”一類。選項中“體育”一項更能證明。那么,從題目角度來分析,我們考前準備的相關(guān)話題可以涵蓋:新技能、體育項目、業(yè)余愛好、擅長活動、怎樣度過空閑時光等等。因此,這個題目可以演變出多種問法。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)?
由此我們發(fā)現(xiàn),無論題目的條件變化成什么,選擇“你喜歡做的事”來進行回答更為容易。體育項目不僅能鍛煉身體,更能培養(yǎng)人的競爭意識和吃苦耐勞的優(yōu)良品質(zhì),所以選擇sport回答此題目更為適當,同時也更易準備。至于是游泳、跑步、還是打籃球因人而異,選擇一種即可。下文以游泳為主要話題,供各位同學參考。
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.
此題為典型的TASK TWO題目,進行觀點判斷。回答 “yes”更為容易。例舉手機優(yōu)點益處即可,實際回答內(nèi)容很接近TASK ONE中“物品”類話題。
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.
