雅思口语范文：你的爱好
Describe
a hobby that you like
Ok, well I have to say that
my hobby is really about
telling jokes.
You know some people wouldn't call that a
hobby because we think it's just an
everyday thing. But I try
to collect as
many jokes as I can. The hobby involves part
reading and part listening. Sometimes
telling jokes involves
listening to one
joke and expanding it to another situation.
There are jokes that involve word play;
others just involve a
surprising punch
line. You need to keep a record and draw
from that record whenever ,You can. I
got started with it
when I worked as a
computer teacher. Each day I would bring
in a joke to tell the students, and I
would say it at the
beginning of the
class, to try and encourage them to come on
time. The main thing is you have to
know that the skill is
not just telling
the joke itself but the expressions you use
and the building of
suspense.
Most people just think of a joke as
being the punch line.
No way-the best
part of a joke is the process of telling it.
You have to have a good memory for the
process of a joke.
Because jokes are
easy to forget. You need to tell them
almost right away to someone else once
you've learned them,
and you should
always try to repeat them in a different, more
expressive way. The impact it has on me
is that essentially
it makes it easier
to tell people serious things. I guess you
could say it is a bit of a paradox that
the things people
take most seriously
are the things you tell them in a joke.
So it has improved my public speaking
enormously.
