Q: How do you usually contact your friends? Why? A: Most of time, I contact my friends by making phone calls to them, and to me it is the best way for communication. I prefer to listen to their voice and tell them something that has happened. I also send short messages to them because maybe they are in the middle of a meeting or a class.2. Q: Do you prefer to contact different people in different ways? Why? A: Yes, I think so. If my friends are in another city, I prefer to chat with them online, as it saves money. When I want to communicate with my parents, I will call them as they dont chat on the internet. Sometimes I write to some of my friends because we want to be special.3. Q: Do you find it easy to keep in contact with friends and family? Why/Why not? A: I guess I have no problems keeping in touch with them especially when we conduct the daily conversation. I think I am good at communication. They can understand what I want to say. But sometimes, I have to be careful of what I say when I stay with my parents, and I think we have a generation gap. Their ideas to some extent are old-fashioned.4. Q: In your country, did people in the past keep in contact in the same ways as they do today? Why? Why not? A: Well, people contacted each other in different ways in the past. They paid a visit to their friends home, but now it is rarely the case. People also wrote letters to each other, and it would take a long time for the letters to reach the receivers. Several decades ago, people sent telegraphs to each other when there was something urgent. These methods are really out of date. People prefer emails, online chatting and text-messages better.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part1解析口语考官答案Part 1Keeping in contact with people1. Q: How do you usually contact your friends? Why? A: I usually contact them using my cell phone. By using this I can contact them anywhere. If they do not answer I can always leave a voicemail and they can get back to me later. Sometimes I use instant messenger because it allows me to see when my friends are available and to talk to many people at the same time.2. Q: Do you prefer to contact different people in different ways? Why? A: Yes, I usually can use e-mail or instant messenger to contact my friends. For adults I usually write letters or call on the telephone. This is because many older people are unfamiliar with new technology. Also at work I would tend to use e-mail more because it allows messages to be saved as well as transfer pertinent data.3. Q: Do you find it easy to keep in touch with friends and family? Why? Why not? A: I find it easy to keep in touch with my friends because there are many different modes of communication available. Also I find it easy to stay in touch with them because we have many similar issues we like to talk about and we contact each other more often because of this. I do not find it as easy to stay in touch with my family because of the generation gap. While I love them I find less need to call for frequent discussion. I usually just contact them once a week.4. Q: In your country, did people in the past keep in contact in the same ways as they do today? Why? Why not? A: People have definitely changed the ways they stay in contact. While they used to write letters that took days to arrive at their destination, now people send e-mails which arrive instantly. Even phones have changed. People used to have land lines in their homes but now this is not necessary because people carry cell phones with them all the time.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part2解析Part 2Describe a party that you enjoyed.You should say:Whose party it was and what it was celebratingWhere the party was held and who went to itWhat people did during the partyAnd explain what you enjoyed about the party.You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.You have one minute to think about what you are going to say.You can make some notes to help you if you wish.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part2解析范例The most memorable party in my life should be the party that we held last year. It was held in my friends home. A lot of my high school classmates attended the party. It was held to celebrate our reunion after we went to university. Some of my old classmates organized this party in order to recall some pleasant memories that we shared during years of studying in the high school. There were about twenty people at the party. Since most of us hadnt seen each other for nearly half a year after our graduation from the high school, we were really excited to know each others status quo. We even bought vegetables and meat to prepare a profuse dinner for ourselves. Although some of us didnt have any cooking experience at all, all of us gave a hand by preparing vegetables and washing dishes. We cooked some traditional dishes, and had a big feast. After the meal, we played cards, sang songs, and we chatted with each other, exchanged our wonderful experiences and so on. Later, we went to KTV to sing songs. We were screaming and laughing, and a lot of us got drunk. It was really awesome, and we made a decision to have that kind of get-together every half a year.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part2解析口语考官答案Part 2Describe a party that you enjoyedYou should say:Whose party it was and what it was celebratingWhere the party was held and who went to itWhat people did during the partyAnd explain what you enjoyed about this party.You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.You have one minute to think about what you are going to say.You can make some notes to help you if you wish.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part2解析范例One of the most enjoyable parties I attended was the 90th birthday party of a neighbour. It was quite amazing! His younger sister aged 87 travelled hundreds of miles to be there and the guests were aged from about 1 year old to even older than 90. I am sure that there were over 100 people there, both friends and family.The party was held in a hotel ballroom and everyone soon got to know the other guests. After the meal, different people stood up to do something to entertain the others. Some guests sang songs, others told funny stories and some played music. I played some Scottish dance music on my fiddle (violin) and people clapped their hands and tapped the floor with their feet. Later I played the fiddle again for people to dance.At the end of the evening, the 90 year old mans friend from schooldays now aged 92 told stories of what they had both done when they were little boys at school and everyone laughed. After this the mans sons and daughters all stood up and said how important their father had been to them and how much they loved him.At the very end of the evening we all drank toasts to the health of the man and all this made him cry. There was one sad note at the end, when the old man spoke; he wished that his wife had been there to share in all this, but she had died 9 years previously.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3解析Part 3Discussion topics:剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3解析范例Family parties1. Q: What are the main reasons why people organize family parties in your country? A: To tell you the truth, Chinese people rarely organize parties. We only have big celebrations at important festivals or on our elders, birthdays. Like in my family, we always have a get-together for my grandparents birthdays.2. Q: In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events. Is this ever true in your country? Do you think this is a good trend or a bad trend? A: I guess this is not the case in China. We just go out for a big feast as a way of celebration. Its not going to cost much. I also have some friends who spend a lot of money on family events because Chinese people like to show off, and they tend to enjoy luxurious family parties. This trend will change because at present people want to show off in China because there is a significant gap between the rich and poor. Someday in the future, when everybody enjoys a rich life, there is no need to show off.3. Q: Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by friends? Why do you think this is? A: I guess they are different. Sometimes friends have a get-together because they miss each other. Or sometimes they hold parties for the sake of business opportunities. Family parties are boring, and family members want to have a reunion at every important festival. Its a must for them.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3解析National celebrations4. Q: What kinds of national celebration do you have in your country? A: Chinese people like to celebrate important festivals like the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. On that day, there is going to be a national party on TV, and some actors and actresses will give performances and the TV viewers are truly entertained by this show. This is also the case during the Mid-Autumn Festival as well. Oh, I forgot to mention, we have the national celebration on the National Day as well.5. Q: Who tends to enjoy national celebrations more: young people or old people? Why? A: I guess old people are going to enjoy national celebrations more. They really care about the traditions of China. They enjoy the get-togethers initiated by the festivals. As for the young, they enjoy the activities to be done at festivals. They love the celebrations just because they love the fun.6. Q: Why do you think some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with this view? Why? A: National celebrations bring about the festival atmosphere. Chinese like to set the fireworks or firecrackers at festivals, and a lot of citizens enjoy the scene. They go to the square to see the firework displays, and they wouldnt complain that the government is wasting the money.口语考官答案剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3解析Part 3Discussion topics:Family parties1. Q: What are the main reasons why people organize family parties in your country? A: The main reasons why people would organize family parties in my country would be to reunite after not seeing each other for a long time. The party would provide an opportunity to tell stories and learn what they have all been doing since we last saw each other. We also try to provide guidance to each other and settle any concerns that we might have.2. Q: In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events. Is this ever true in your country? Do you think this is a good trend or a bad trend? A: Yes, it is true that we will spend a lot of money to celebrate family events such as a new baby, marriage, a new job, or getting into a good school. I believe that though it is necessary to spend money to organize the party and provide food, drinks, etc. it is just as important to remember why we are there. It is more important to have quality time with family. The interaction happiness of family life is what is important not the money.3. Q: Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by your friends? Why do you think this is? A: There are many differences between my friends parties and that of my family. My family parties tend to be more formal and focus on the event that we are celebrating. My parties with my friends tend to be more casual and the main objective is to have fun. I think that while I have fun in both cases they are different types of fun.剑桥雅思7Test1口语Part3解析National celebrations1. Q: What kinds of national celebrations do you have in your country? A: We have several main national holidays in our country. The first and most important is the Spring Festival. This is to celebrate the end of the Chinese lunar year. Another is the Dragon Boat festival. This festival celebrates a famous Chinese poet named Qu Yuan. Still another is Mid Autumn day. During this holiday we eat a traditional dish known as moon cake.2. Q: Who tends to enjoy national celebrations more: young people or old people? Why? A: I think that older people tend to enjoy national celebrations more than the younger generation. Older people tend to value traditional holidays because they feel more connected to them. The younger people like western holidays such as Valentines Day because they like the romantic aspects that are not present in national holidays. Also because of an interest in different cultures they like to celebrate holidays that are not part of the Chinese calendar.3. Q: Why do you think some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with this view? Why? A: No, I do not believe that spending money on government celebrations is a waste of money. National holidays are an important part of our culture and help to create a sense of being Chinese. There proud patriotic feelings are shared by all people and the celebrations are for everyone. While some people view the money as misspent, I believe that it is important to properly celebrate our culture and identity. 剑桥雅思7Test2口语Part1解析 口语考官答案 Part 1 Laughing 1. Q: What kind of thing make you laugh? A: I think that everyone laughs at different things and some say that every nation has a particular style of humour. Certainly the Japanese or the Germans seem to laugh at film clips showing people being humiliated. People in Britain would feel sorry for the humiliated person. In the USA people tends to laugh at one line funny remarks, whereas in Britain people laugh at funny stories or amusing situations, where nobody gets hurt. 2. Q: Do you like making other people laugh? Why?/ Why not? A: I really love to make others laugh, something that makes life more exciting and colorful. Thats another reason why I laugh all the time. 3. Q: Do you think its important for people to laugh? Why?/ Why not? A: One of the most important things in the world, would be number two on the list of the things that appreciated in people. Impossible to make life interesting and fun, if you dont know how to smile about it. 4. Q: Is laughing the same as feeling happy, do you think? Why?/ Why not? A: For me laughing is not the same thing as being happy, but its definitely a part of being a happy person. You might be happy in different aspects, and the things that makes us happy are completely different, but when something good makes you smile, its usually same for all people.剑桥雅思7口语答案Test2Part2Part 2Describe an idea you had for improving something at work or college.You should say:When and where you had your ideaWhat your idea
