Describe something you enjoy doing with an old person in your family
You should say:
What it is
How often you do it
Who you do it with
Why you enjoy doing it with this person
I enjoy spending time with my maternal grandmother. She is eighty and has an opinion on anything and everything. My grandma is an energetic person. She has some age-related problems but she gets about more than my mother or me. Actually, there are hardly any temples in South India that she hasn’t been to. She is fluent in most South Indian languages and also possesses a working knowledge of Sanskrit. I visit my grandmother at least once a month. When we were kids, we used to spend the weekends at her place and then she would tell us numerous stories from Hindu mythology and keep in entertained for hours on end. Actually, if I am deeply religious today, that is because of her. She also visits us very often, and whenever she does she makes it a point to bring us lots of gifts and other goodies. She is a generous woman who enjoys giving food and money to the needy. The reason that I enjoy spending time with her is that she has a positive attitude towards anything. Actually I have never seen her looking depressed or hopeless. She is great fun to be with.

Do you like to learn about history?
這是一道喜歡或者不喜歡類的題目,首先我們來學(xué)習(xí)一下表達(dá)‘喜歡’的語(yǔ)言,題目中的like可以替換成be interested in; be into; be fond of; 或者用I find something interesting.不喜歡除了用dislike以外,還可以替換成hate; loathe; be fed up with; be sick of.
關(guān)于這道題,通常情況下,我們會(huì)回答喜歡,或者不喜歡。注意,答案盡量以Yes, I do.的形式出現(xiàn),而不是單獨(dú)的yes。同時(shí)也可以替換成Yes, very much so; Yes, definitely; Yes, absolutely等表達(dá)。同樣,否定的答案,可以用Not really; Not exactly; 或者是,No, it’s not my kind of thing來代替。
若該題目的答案是喜歡,那么我們需要在表明傾向后加以解釋,通常是給出原因或例子。除了以上所講到的歷史的作用外,喜歡了解歷史的原因還可以是:The historical events are very interesting(歷史事件非常有趣);It can make us wise(使人明智)等。
若回答不喜歡,則也須講明原因,或者講明不喜歡的地方在哪。這里推薦給考生一個(gè)加分的表達(dá):to have a love-hate relationship with something,意思是說對(duì)某物或是某件事情既愛又恨;叵胛覀儾幌矚g歷史的原因,可能更多的是因?yàn)槲覀儾幌矚g以背誦為主的歷史考試,而非我們對(duì)歷史事件真的不感興趣。(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.

Do you think history is important?
關(guān)于這道題目,相信我們大多數(shù)考生都會(huì)給出肯定的回答:歷史是重要的。其原因可以是以下幾點(diǎn):
It allows people to understand how culture, politics, economy, society and values developed. (它使得人們了解文化,政治,經(jīng)濟(jì),社會(huì)以及價(jià)值是如何發(fā)展的)
History not only deals with the past but also with how the past led to the present. (歷史不僅是關(guān)于過去,還關(guān)于過去如何導(dǎo)致了現(xiàn)在)
It tells us what happened in the past, so that we avoid repeating mistakes. (他告訴我們過去發(fā)生了什么,以幫助我們避免重復(fù)錯(cuò)誤)
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.

Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
同樣,這也是一道是非疑問類的題目,無(wú)論我們的答案是肯定的還是否定的,都需要有充分的支持。例如,這道題目你可以回答‘是’(Yes, I think so; Yes I guess so; Yes sort of),然后在給出理由,可以是網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源充分,且免費(fèi),查閱方便等等(give a convenient access to information on almost everything)。所以你經(jīng)常到什么樣的網(wǎng)站上去瀏覽什么樣的歷史知識(shí)。
除此之外,你還可以給出否定的答案(No, I don’t think so; No, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case.),然后給出原因,可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)信息并不總是可靠或者客觀(not always reliable or objective),也可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)當(dāng)中充斥著大量的誤導(dǎo)或虛假或歪曲的信息(be awash with some misleading or false or distorted information),還有可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)上信息量過于龐大導(dǎo)致很難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)。因此我們應(yīng)當(dāng)慎重使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)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.

You should say:
When you received it
Who sent it
What it was about
Why it was important to you
Ok, well I suppose one of the most important letters I’ve received was an offer letter from a university I applied to – Leeds University, to be precise – so that’s what I think I’ll talk about.
And as for who the letter was from, well, I can't quite remember the name of the actual person who wrote it, I’m afraid, but if I’m not mistaken, it was sent by the university admissions office, who I guess are responsible for handling such matters.
Anyway, regarding what the letter was about, well basically, it was just informing me that I had been accepted onto their Master’s program in Finance, so it was really great news for me, because this was the course that I most wanted to study, and out of all the various universities that I applied to, Leeds was definitely top of my list, as it was the one that most appealed to me, in terms of both the course content and social life.
So, as you can imagine, I was over the moon after receiving the offer. I mean, it felt like all the years of hard work I’ve put into my studies seemed to have finally paid off, so it was like a dream come true for me, it really was.
And finally then, with regard to why this letter was important, well, I think it goes without saying that it was extremely important, because essentially, it means that I’m gonna be able to study abroad, which I’m sure will have a huge impact on my future career, as it will hopefully enable me to apply for jobs which I wouldn’t have otherwise been considered for.
And as well as this, I reckon that studying abroad will help me become more mature and independent, which I’ve noticed has happened with a few of my friends who have spent some time abroad, and I’m sure this’ll have a positive effect on my life in general.
So it’s a big opportunity for me, and I’m really looking forward to it!
