-
1) At what age did
you start studying mathematics?
I
can't
exactly
remember,
but
it
was
probably
in
my
first
year
at
primary school when I was
5 years old. I probably learnt simple addition
at that age.
2) Do you like mathematics?
Why / why not?
I don't dislike maths, but I wouldn't
say that I've ever really liked the
subject
either.
I'm
happy
to
do
simple
calculations,
but
my
brain
can't
cope with the complex stuff!
3)
Is it necessary for everyone to learn mathematics?
Yes, I think it is. We all need a basic
grounding in maths so that we
can do
daily tasks, like managing our money, working out
bills, and so
on.
4) Do you
prefer to use a calculator when doing mathematics?
It
depends. I quite like exercising my brain with
anything that's easy
enough, but I use
the calculator on my phone for anything tricky.
1)
Do
you
have
a
favourite
number
or
a
number
that
is
special
to
you?
Yes, my
favourite number is... because it's the day I was
born on, and
it's my lucky number.
2)
Do any numbers have special importance in your
country?
Yes,
certain
ages
are
special.
For
example,
your
18th
birthday
is
important because it's when you are
considered to become an adult.
3) Are you good
at remembering numbers? Why / why not?
No,
I'm
not
very
good
at
remembering
numbers.
I
don't
think
it's
necessary to learn them
by heart; I just save them on my phone.
4)
What numbers do people often have to memorise?
The
most important number to remember on a daily basis
is the pin
number for your bank card.
Without this you can't pay for anything or
get cash out.

Remember that part 1 is
supposed to be easy, so you should give
short, direct answers.
题目
1
：
How well do you know your next-door
neighbours?
I
know
my
neighbours
quite
well.
They're
really
nice
people,
and
I
always stop to talk whenever I see
them. I think it's important to get on
well with the people who live next
door.
题目
2. How often do you see
them?
I see my neighbours at least a few
times a week. We usually see each
other
when we're leaving for work in the morning or
coming home in the
evening.

目
3.
What
problems
do
people
sometimes
have
with
their
neighbours?
I think the most common
problem is probably noise. It's difficult to
live next to people who have a dog that
barks at night, or who play loud
music
or have too many parties.
Here
are
my
sample
answers
for
the
'chocolate'
topic.
Remember
that your priority
in speaking part 1 is to demonstrate fluency by
giving
answers that are short, direct
and natural, without hesitating too much.
1)
Do you like chocolate? Why / why not?
Yes, I love
chocolate. I like the taste, the texture and the
feeling that
you get when you eat it.
And it goes really well with my favourite drink,
coffee.
2) What type of chocolate
do you prefer? Why?
I prefer dark chocolate to
milk chocolate, because it has a stronger
taste.
I
also
like
chocolate
when
it's
in
a
cake,
and
I
love
drinking
hot
chocolate too.
3)
When do you usually eat chocolate?
I try not to
eat too much, but I probably eat or drink
something that
contains chocolate every
couple of days.
4) Do people give chocolate
as a present in your country? When?
Yes, it's very
common to give boxes of individual chocolates as a
gift.
You
can
give
chocolates
on
any
special
occasion
really:
birthdays,
Valentine's day,
Easter, Christmas, and so on.
1. Do you like
cooking? Why / why not?
Sometimes. I like preparing
a special meal for family or friends who
visit, but everyday cooking is a bit
boring; it's something that has to be
done, but it's not really fun.
2.
Who did the cooking in your family when you were a
child?
My mother almost always did the cooking
when I was young. I don't
think she
trusted my father to make a nice meal.
3. Do you think
that it's important to know how to cook well?
I'm
not sure whether it's important to cook well, but
I do think that
everyone
should
know
the
basics.
It
definitely
isn't
healthy
to
rely
on
pre-prepared meals or
fast food.
4. Do you think that children should be
taught cookery at school?
Yes, that's probably a good
idea. If all children knew how to cook a
few basic, healthy meals, that would
surely be a good thing.
1. What
’
s the
weather like today?
It
’
s
really freezing today. If I
don
’
t have to take the IELTS
exams, I
would prefer to stay at home.
2.
What kind of weather do you like (best)? (Why?)
Actually I prefer the cloudy day as
it
’
s neither too hot nor too
cold.
And
what
’
s
more
important
to
me
is
that
this
whether
is
perfect
for
photography as the light is soft and
tender. So at this time of day,
I
’
ll
always go
out with my camera to the forest parks to take
photos.
3. What
’
s the
weather (usually) like in your hometown?
In
my hometown, as it is surrounded by mountains, the
whether is
quite
pleasant,
neither
too
hot
nor
too
cold.
Even
in
winter,
the
temperature is still
quite mild. The weather is good almost all year
round
as my hometown is a tourist city
and there is no any industrial pollution
out there.
4.
Do
you
like
that
weather
(or,
that
kind
of
climate)?
(Why?/Why
not?)
The
bad
points
about
the
weather
in
my
hometown
are
that
it
doesn
’
t snow as
heavily as up north like Beijing. It does snow,
but is just
a little bit. Every time I
saw children having a snowball flight or making a
snowman on TV, I really envied them. It
was really pity.
5. What is the typical
weather in China like?
I
believe
though
China
is
a
vast
country,
there
are
four
distinct
seasons in most
places. But unfortunately in recent years, many
places in
summer are becoming boiling
hot. I guess the changes are primarily due
to the green-house effect. So in this
extreme whether, I will really prefer
to work at home, and the air-
conditioning is working all day long, and at
night, I even sleep on the floor.
6.
Have
there
been
any
changes
in
the
weather
over
the
past
few
years?
Yes,
as
Beijing
is
facing
more
and
more
oppressive
haze,
I
always
keep
a
watchful
eye
on
the
weather
forecast.
I
installed
an
app
in
my
mobile
phone, and see the indicator of PM 2.5. It has
been a routine for
me.
7. Do you
always pay attention to the unusual weather?
As
for the unusual weather, the global warming has
really become a
heated topic around the
world. It is caused by the greenhouse effect as
the
a
sheer
volume
of
carbon
dioxide
have
been
emitted
into
the
air,
preventing
the
atmosphere
from
cooling
off
at
night.
And
another
unusual
weather,
I
’
m
afraid
is
the
hurricane
which
can
easily
flatten
thousands of homes
near the coast in a short period of time.
8.
Would you prefer to live in a place that has just
one, warm season
that lasts the whole
year or a place with different seasons?
Well, if I were to choose between the
two, I
’
ll probably go with
the
distinct
seasons
in
each
year
because
each
season
has
its
own
merits.
Whereas I will get bored if it is warm
all year round.
19. Do people in China play
the same sports in different seasons of
the year?
No, when in spring and
autumn, the temperature is neither too cold
nor too hot, people in China tend to
hike in the mountains, or go running.
When it comes to summer, people can
choose more physical activities
like
swimming, camping in the forests and playing
balls, etc. But in winter,
people
believe it not suitable for outdoor exercises, so
they prefer to stay
at home for
resting.
1.
What kinds of thing make you laugh?
I laugh most
when I'm with friends talking about funny things
that
have happened to us. I also like
watching comedians and comedy films.
2. Do you like
making other people laugh?
Yes, it's a nice feeling
when you can make someone laugh because
you
can
see
that
you've
made
them
happy.
It's
great
to
share
a
funny
moment
with someone.
3. Do you think it's important for
people to laugh?
Yes, of course. It's
important to see the funny side of things; humour
helps us not to take life too
seriously. I think that laughter is good for our
health.
4. Is laughing the same as
feeling happy?
It's not exactly the same because you
can be happy without laughing,
and
sometimes we laugh when something bad has
happened; a sense of
humour can help us
to cope with difficult situations.
1) How much time do you
spend at home?
Obviously I sleep at home, but I don't
spend very much time at home
during the
day, because I'm usually busy with work.
2)
Do
you
prefer
to
spend
your
free
time
at
home
or
outside
the
house?
During the day
I prefer to be out of the house, so I like
visiting family
or meeting up with
friends. But I do like relaxing at home in the
evenings.
3)
What
do
you
do
when
you
have
some
free
time
and
you're
at
home?
I
usually sit and watch some TV or a film, or I
listen to some music. I
also like
sitting outside if the weather is nice.
4)
Would you like to have more spare time to spend at
home in the
future?
No, not really.
I get bored if I'm at home for too long. In the
future, I
imagine I'll still prefer to
go out and do things rather than stay indoors.
1. Are there
many advertisements in your country?
Yes, there are
adverts everywhere in the city. You can easily see
them
near the subway station, along the
express way and in the elevator.
2. Why do you
think there are so many advertisements now?
The
main
factor
is
that
adverts
are
the
most
efficient
way
for
the
companies to
reach their end
users,
and also
every
company
wants
to
stand out from the crowd in such fierce
competition.
3. How do you feel about
advertisements?
I
’
m
afraid that the advertisements are really annoying
in some way,
and
they
always
exaggerate
the
true
functions
of
products.
So
I
guess
they are not as
reliable as they seem to be.
4. What kind of
advertisements do you like the most?
I am fond of
the adverts that are well-designed and deliver the
high
quality contents, but that
doesn
’
t mean I will go and
buy that products.
5. Do advertisements
influence your choice about what to buy?
No,
I believe buying things totally based on adverts
is unreasonable.
6. Do you like
advertisements on TV?
I
’
m
not
into
TV
adverts,
because
I
am
often
interrupted
by
the
adverts when watching
the TV programmes. It is really annoying.
7.
Do you prefer advertisements on TV or those in
magazines?
Well, if I were to choose between the
two, I
’
ll probably go with
the
adverts
in
magazines
because
they
are
well-
designed
and
I
can
have
plenty
of time to look through them, whereas the TV
adverts are really
annoying.
8.
Do you think adverting plays an important role in
today
’
s world?
In general,
it
’
s a prosperous industry.
The number of enterprises that
pay
attention
to
adverts
is
growing,
and
there
are
more
students
who
apply to study advertisement in
university.
1)
Have you ever collected anything as a hobby?
(What?)
Yes. When I was younger I used to
collect keyrings. I remember that
my
favourite
was
a
Lego
man
keyring
that
someone
bought
me
as
a
present.
2) What kinds
of thing do people often like collecting?
Some
people
collect
cheap
items
like
stamps,
keyrings
or
toys.
Others
collect expensive antiques, watches, jewellery or
even cars.
3) Why do you think people collect
certain objects?
Maybe they like the
constant search for a new item, or they want to
remember past experiences. Others might
like the feeling of organising
and
presenting what they own.
4) Is there anything that
you would like to collect in the future?
Yes.
If
I
could
afford
it,
I'd
love
to
have
a
collection
of
guitars
in
different colours, shapes and sizes!
1. Do you often
do any cooking?
Normally I
don
’
t frequently cook at
home on weekdays because I
have
no
time.
But
on
weekends,
I
usually
cook
food
at
home
for
my
family.
2. Do you like
cooking? (Why?/Why not?)
Yes,
I
’
m quite into cooking
because I believe that good dinner could
guarantee our health and also
I
’
m a foodie,
I
’
d like to taste all kinds
of
tasty food. I always do some cooking
in my home with my family during
the
weekend to enjoy the family time.
3. What cooking
experience have you had?
Obviously, in my opinion, a
fabulous cooking can
’
t be
done without
fresh food resources. So I
always try to go to the super market early in
the morning and select
today
’
s vegetables and meat.
Besides, I always
put
several
vegetables
such
as
carrot,
bamboo
shoots,
pepper,
tofu,
along with meat to cook in order to get
the balanced diet.
4. Who taught you to cook?
My
mother is an expert at cooking, and she taught me
how to cook
when I graduated from
university and started to live independently. She
told me that the ability to cook was
fairly important because good dinner
could guarantee our health.
5. When you
were a child, did you ever help your parents to
prepare
a meal?
I
remember
when
I
was
a
little
boy,
I
was
used
to
help
wash
the
vegetables, go out to
buy some flavours, etc. I strongly recommend that
children should take part in this kind
of housework because it can help
cultivate the hands-on abilities, a
sense of achievement and even learn
some table manners.
1. What is your favourite
food?
The fish is my favourite, especially
with red hot chilies, cos it is so
tasty and colourful and beside fish is
nutritious too. I will cook it myself
at home during the weekends for my
family.
2. When do you usually eat that food?
When I was a child, I liked the food
made by my mother. She was an
expert at
cooking, and the fish was my favourite.
I
’
m still fond of eating
fish when I became an adult, and now I
always cook it myself at home
during
the weekends for my family, once a week maybe.
3.
Is food important to you?
Yes, definitely. I believe
good food is very important because it is not
only very tasty, but could also
guarantee our health.
4. What food do you usually
eat?
In general, I eat a lot of rice and
vegetables every day. And once a
week,
I
will
cook
a
fish
myself
at
home
during
the
weekends
for
my
family which is my
favourite.
5. Do you usually eat the same food
every day?
No,
it
will
be
boring
to
eat
the
same
food
every
day.
I
also
like
noodles, dumpling, and sometimes I eat
pizza and curry which are both
delicious.
6. Is there any food you
don
’
t like?
I
’
m really not
into Japanese food because they are sometimes
cold,
or even are raw food, like sushi.
I once bought them in the supermarket,
but the taste really disgusted me.
1. What sports
or physical activities do you regularly do?
Unfortunately I don't have time to do
any sports or physical activities
because of my work commitments. I'd
like to find more time for regular
exercise.
2. Which sport or game
would you like to be good at?
I'd like to be
good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit
the ball
as hard as you can and watch
it land exactly where you wanted it to.
3.
Do you prefer watching or playing sports?
I
don't watch much sport on TV and I'm not a big
sports fan, so I
think I would probably
enjoy doing sports more than watching them.
4.
Do you think children should be encouraged to do
more sport?
Yes,
I
think
that
sport
is
really
important
for
children.
Sports
and
games
teach children to play together and try their
best.
题目：
1. Do you like (to learn
about) history?
2. What historical event do
you find most interesting?
3. Do you think history is
important?
4. Do you like to watch programmes on
TV about history?
5.
Do
you
think
you
can
really
learn
history
from
films
and
TV
programmes?
6. Do you think the
internet is a good place to learn about history?
7.
Can you name a person from history who you would
like to learn
more about?
8. Why would
you like to learn more about him/her?
参考答案：
Yes, I am a big
fan of reading historical stories. When I was a
little boy,
I always took some
historical books from my
father
’
s bookshelf and read
the historical events. I feel that
history not only can cultivate my mental
development, but also give me a better
picture of human society.
Personally I am fond of the
Battle of Red Cliffs happened in the early
period of Three Kingdoms, which was a
decisive battle at the end of the
Han
Dynasty. It was also the typical battle in Chinese
history renowned
for the fewer and
weaker defeating the more and stronger.
Yes, the main factor is that like our
native language, history forms a
cultural identity and keeps a unique
record of country, and also we can
learn the experiences from history to
correct our current actions.
Yes,
I
enjoy
watching
some
documentaries
about
history
on
TV
because I can see a lot
of video materials that can not bee seen in the
textbooks. I always watch them at home.
I
don
’
t feel that watching the
current TV series can make you be
aware
of the history, you know, TV programmes are more
engaging than
books, however the true
historical events in most of the TV series have
been
distorted
by
the
producers
to
cater
for
the
audience.
It
’
s
really
shame
as
the
young
people
will
misunderstand
the
history
by
these
irresponsible
productions.
Yes. History is full of debates so you
can find both of the two sides of
opinion online which will help you be
aware of the true facts and think
critically. I always google some
engaging historical materials about the
Song Dynasty, for example, to know
about the truth.
The people
I
’
d like to learn about is
Wu Chengen, the author of A
Journey to
the West. He combined the folk tales and his own
imagination
to write the great fairy
story in the 16th century. I want to know about
his
personality as much as possible and
I believe that his imagination is what
is lack of nowadays.

1.
Are there many (or, any) museums in your hometown?
Not
so many, actually there is only one museum in my
small county
about the local history.
It allows the local residents to know better about
their traditions and historical
celebrities.
2.
Do
you
think
museums
are
useful
for
visitors
to
your
hometown/country?
I go to the
museum a lot, when I come to the new place,
I
’
ll find
some
local museums that have interesting features. The
museum I visited
last time was the
Guanfu Museum located in the rural area of
Beijing. It is
a
private-
owned
museum
featuring
Chinese
antiques
like
porcelain,
furniture, jade and some paintings.
3.
Do you think museums are important?
Museums are
really important in protecting, preserving,
propagating
and researching numerous
human treasure. Once the antiques are in the
museums, they are permanently out of
circulation, which means they can
be
seen by public.
4. Do you think
it
’
s suitable for museums to
sell things to visitors?
Yes,
the
reason
is
that
generally,
most
museums
are
nonprofit
organisations, and
these goods are their large portion of income,
except
the tickets, and also partly
because these items are closely related to the
theme
of
the
museums,
which
cannot
be
bought
in
most
other
bookstores or shops.
1. Do you like visiting
natural places?
Yes, I am fond of getting
close to the nature. Once I am free,
I
’
d like
to visit
one of the forest parks around Changsha. These
places
are not
only
really
perfect
for
physical
activities,
but
also
can
help
me
let
off
steam.
2. What are some well-known
natural attractions in your country?
There are so
many natural attractions in my country, for
example, the
best one, in my opinion,
is the Huangshan Mountain, which earns a high
reputation
for
its
magnificent
natural
scenery.
Besides,
I
travel
to
the
Inner
Mongolian grasslands every year to see the vast
grassland as well
as the blue sky and
the white cloud which can be rarely seen in
Beijing.
3. Have you ever gone camping?
Yes,
just
once,
but
really
memorable.
I
went
to
the
Lingshan
Mountain with my friends this year. We
slept in the forest in the camps at
night.
It
was
totally
dark
outside,
but
we
sang
the
songs
loudly
with
others and heard the sound of rain
dropping on my camp gently. It was
really an interesting experience.
4.
How do city kids in your country have contact with
nature?
Cities in China usually have many parks
in them so that children can
visit with
their parents. Most of these parks have plenty of
trees, meadow,
rockery and even lakes,
which are good enough for children to get close
to nature. Besides, on holidays,
children will have opportunities to go for
an outing to some natural sceneries.
5..
What are the benefits of learning about nature?
People
can
definitely
benefit
a
lot
from
nature.
Apart
from
the
physical
fitness,
people
can
loose
up
in
the
natural
environment
and
inspire their love to life. As for
children, I believe getting close to nature
can cultivate their natural motivations
to investigation and discovery the
world around them based on their
interests.
1.
What do you do in your spare time?
Well, there are
lots of things I can do if
I
’
m free. For instance, I
stay at
home sometimes to read books to
enjoy the leisure hours with myself, or
I
’
ll
go
with
my
friends
to
do
some
outdoor
activities
such
as
playing
football and hiking.
2. Do you like
outdoor activities?
Yes,
I
’
m really into outdoor
activities. You know, the main factor is
that
I
can
take
some
physical
to
keep
me
fit,
so
I
always
go
hiking
or
jogging
if I am free.
3. What outdoor activities do you most
like to do?
Normally I
’
ll go
for a jogging around my house in the morning so
that I can take some physical exercises
while enjoying the fresh air, but if I
can invite some more friends I would go
for a simple football match with
them
because football is a sociable activities so that
I can have more fun
with my friends and
make new friends as well.
4. How often do you do
that?
Well, I do these physical exercises
from time to time. Normally if
I
’
m not busy with my work, I
will go for a jogging around my house in the
morning
to
take
some
physical
exercises
while
enjoying
the
fresh
air,
probably four times in a week; but if I
have lots of on things my hands
I
’
ll probably focus on my
work.
5. What (types of) outdoor activities
are popular in your country?
It
’
s kind of hard
to say but people that I know around me tend to go
jogging in the morning or take a walk
after dinner, but maybe for others,
they probably like to take some indoor
activities like swimming and yoga.
1. Do you like to take
photographs? (Why?)
Yes, I am a big fan of
photography in my spare time. I always travel
around to the stunning natural scenery
with my camera. I have been in
the
habit of it for almost 8 years. The main factor is
that I can capture the
precious
moment
in
my
life,
such
as
the
graduation
ceremony,
or
the
sweet moment with my girlfriend, and
also I believe the photography will
cultivate my mental development.
2.
Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have
other people take
photos? (Why?)
If
I were to choose between the two,
I
’
ll probably go with taking
photos
of
others
because
I
feel
that
different
people
have
different
characteristic, so
the photos will be distinguishing. Whereas, I
barely take
a selfie because it will
make me embarrassed.
3. Do you prefer to take
pictures of people or of scenery?
Normally,
I
’
ll probably go with the
scenery to take photos because I
really
enjoy the marvellous natural scenery such as the
seashore, sunset
and twilight, but if I
take my son travelling around,
I
’
ll take photos of him
to capture his happiness.
4. How do you
keep your photos?
I store my photos both in
my computer disk and Internet for backup.
And besides I have a photography
website running for 4 years, keeping
all my premium photos there.
5.
Do you frame (of have you framed) any of your
photos? (If yes,
which?&why?)
Yes, I used to print some photos of my
kid to hang them in his room,
which can
help us memorise the warm moment we had together.
6.
Do you prefer to send postcards to people or to
send photos that
you took yourself?
(Why?)
Well, if I were to choose between the
two, I
’
ll probably go with
my
own photos because they are unique
and seeing a lot of comments from
friends
is
really
a
pleasant
thing.
Whereas
postcards
are
not
as
meaningful as photos taken by myself.
1. What public
holidays do you have in your country?
We celebrate a
lot of public
festivals in my country.
I am sure you
know
about
the
Spring
Festival
which
is
the
most
important
one.
In
addition, we get together with our
family for the Mid-Autumn Day and
the
National Day.
2. Do people in your country celebrate
Christmas?
Yes, there are so many people in my
country, it
’
s really hard to
say,
probably
most
people
tend
to
go
shopping
with
families
or
friends
to
take
advantage
of
the
sales
the
shops
are
offering,
but
personally
speaking,
I
am
afraid
we
don
’
t
celebrate
Christmas
like
the
way
in
Western countries.
3.
Do you like public holidays?
Yes, I am fond
of holidays. The main factor is that on these
days, I
don
’
t
have to work and have plenty of time travelling
around to unwind
myself and also I will
have more consecutive time with my family.
4.
Which public holidays do you like the most?
I
believe
my
favourite
public
holiday
would
be
the
National
Day
because I will have at least seven days
to go travelling and also
it
’
s the
best
time to go around, the weather is neither too cold
nor too hot, and
the
foliage
of
trees
have
turned
yellow
or
red,
which
will
give
you
picturesque views.
5.
What
do
other
people
in
your
country
usually
do
on
public
holidays?
