雅思口语素材汇总之端午节
雅思口语素材汇总之端午节 雅思口语素材:Dragon Boat Festival(端午节) Qu Yuan The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice(糯米)wrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats. The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. This regatta(赛舟会)commemorates the death of Qu Yuan , an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. Qu was a minister of the State of Chu situated in present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces, during the Warring States Period (475-221BC)(战国时期). He was upright, loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and prosperity to the state. However, when a dishonest and corrupt prince vilified Qu, he was disgraced and dismissed from office. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and corrupt officials, Qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. Nearby fishermen rushed over to try and save him but were unable to even recover his body. Thereafter, the state declined and was eventually conquered by the State of Qin. The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a huge reptile(爬行动物)in the river had stolen the rice. The spirit then advised them to wrap the rice in silk and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it into the river. During the Duanwu Festival, a glutinous rice pudding called zong zi is eaten to symbolize the rice offerings to Qu. Ingredients such as beans, lotus seeds(莲子), chestnuts(栗子), pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often

雅思口语part2话题万能模板：事件类
雅思口语part2话题万能模板：事件类今天三立在线教育雅思网为大家带来的是雅思口语part2话题万能模板：事件类的相关资讯，备考的烤鸭们，赶紧来看看吧！ 首先我们来说说“一件从数学中学到的事情”，拿到这个话题，先不要急着回答，可以用笔稍微构思一下思路，该怎么回答。首先，可以说一下这件事是什么、发生在什么时候，也就是作文中的事件和事件，这里需要注意的就是具体描述一下什么事但是又不能啰嗦累赘，而时间则可以大致概括点明即可。我们就从资料中的例子来说：高中的时候从乘法表中学到的一件事。 然后，要具体叙述一下这件事，即是最重要的部分，发生的地方、牵扯到的人物、以及这件事情影响到你的原因，为什么影响到你…… 资料例子来说：在高中的一次数学竞赛中失败，以至于灰心丧气，甚至对自己产生怀疑，而此时数学老师拿乘法的规则来比喻人生中的失败与成功的关系来鼓励我，以至于我从失败中走出来，从新赢得了下一次的数学竞赛。这件事情使我明白了，生活就如同数学乘法，有无数种可能，多种多样，我们要坦然面对。 而这里的例子看似像我们中文作文中的思路，但是关键在于它表述方式以及用词造句，不能太中式化。这里的重点，就是描述事件经过，即“在高中的一次数学竞赛中失败，以至于灰心丧气，甚至对自己产生怀疑，而此时数学老师拿乘法的规则来比喻人生中的失败与成功的关系来鼓励我，以至于我从失败中走出来，从新赢得了下一次的数学竞赛。”而老师的话则是重中之重，因为他让我明白了道理“生活就如同数学乘法，有无数种可能，多种多样，我们要坦然面对。”也是我深深牢记的原因，以及这件事对我影响深刻的原因。
而最后，只需要简单概括，从这件事中学到的东西即可。其实这个话题思路并不是很难，关键在于烤鸭们的表述以及词汇的积累。 其实，大家都知道事件类话题是雅思口语考试中最简单的、最容易描述，却也是最常见的话题，所以大家要多注意积累素材、思考思路。其实“A way of communication”和“A good parent”这两个话题也可以用这个例子来阐述回答，而最关键的则是把老师的那段话稍作转述即可。例如，“A way of communication”我们可以先描述手机及其性能作用，以及现今的流行趋势，然后从一件事引到交流方式，还是那件事，还是那写话，只不过要突出老师用短信的方式告知我，最后，简单概述手机的用处及好处即可。是不是很简单呢?同样的，“A good parent”只需要根据情况把那些话转述为父母亲对你说的话，已经对你的影响，所以一个模板真的是百用哦! 那么我们赶紧来看看还有哪些话题可以这样转换呢? 多米诺骨牌效应：=Something you learned from math=Something you learned from your family=A piece of advice=A change you had=An important stage in your life=A text message you got=A letter you got=An E-mail you got=A way of communication=An important decision you made=A person who helped you=A kind thing someone did to you=A family member you love talking to=A good parent=An elderly family member=A neighbor=A good friend=A teacher=A science course you took=A subject you love/d at school=Your personality=First day of college=Your experience of getting money as a gift=Your experience of getting congratulations=A person you helped=A thing your friend did made you admire.

One of my friends gave me a ceramic young Buddhist monk. I was a little bit surprised to have it because it’s very unlike him. And then he told me the story behind it. He said for this gist he went to a pottery shop which offers a service through which you can make something on your own and take it home at the end of the session. And he made a Buddhist monk for me. The Buddha is beige in color, and about 10 centimeters in height. I can’t say it’s very delicately molded because it’s probably my friend’s third try. I was impressed by the facial expression of the monk. I mean, his eyes are half closed, and there is just an air of calmness which is really contagious. I place this Buddha on my desk, and whenever my work’s not going well or my computer runs very slowly, I would feel a bit anxious, and lose my patience in such situations. Then I look at the ceramic monk and mysteriously I regain my composure. So I like this gift from my friend and I am really grateful for his work.

2019年雅思口语范文素材：一次旅行 You should say： - when it happened - where you were traveling to - who you were traveling with and explain why it took longer than you expected. Part 3 Travelling in the City What kind(s) transport would you recommend for people who want to travel around in your hometown?

Long-Distance Travel Do people in your country generally prefer to go on long trips or short trips? (Why?) What effects does long-distance travel have on people? How would you feel if you had the chance to travel in space? 范文
Last year I went to Yunnan with my family and it was really a trip that took longer than I expected. It took longer than I expected due to several reasons. The first one was because of massive delays. For one thing, the airplane delays for more than 8 hours for no reason which was the most ridiculous one and annoyed me a lot. I remembered I read an entire book and played video games but still can’t kill the time. For another, when I arrived at the destination, the hotel was still not ready for us to check in and we wasted another 2 hours. The second reason was travelling in Yunnan was totally different from what I had expected. I thought Yunnan was a quiet city with marvelous natural sceneries but when I arrived there I was shocked by the huge number of tourists. No matter where I went I had to take a deep breath. I don’t feel natural and I can’t focus here. Anyway, it was really an awful trip. If I could choose again I would rather stay at home.
