　　雅思口語part1參考答案

　　1. What’s your favorite animal? Why?

　　Model Answer: I’d probably have to say dogs, it’s hard to explain exactly why though, I guess it’s because they are really loyal and quite affectionate and playful, much more so than cats who I think tend to be a bit more indifferent and aloof. So yeah I’d say I’m much more of a dog person than a cat person.

　　分析：此答案中用到了很多對于動物描述的形容詞。在準(zhǔn)備此問題的答案時，要注意回答一些動物詞匯的英語表達及描述該類動物的相關(guān)詞匯的英語表達。

　　加分詞匯：probably, loyal(忠誠的), affectionate(有感情的), playful(愛玩兒鬧的), indifferent(漠不關(guān)心的), aloof(冷漠的)

　　加分句型：(1) it’s hard to explain exactly why though;

　　(2) I’m much more of…..than…..

　　2. What kinds of animals do the people in your country usually keep as pets?

　　Model Answer: I think typically, older people in my country go for things like pet birds, and maybe something like keeping fish in an aquarium(魚缸), younger people on the other hand are more likely to keep cats and dogs, especially those cute little dogs, terriers (小獵狗)and poodles(卷毛小狗)I think they’re called, in fact you quite often see young people carrying their dogs around or walking them in parks.

　　分析：雅思口語評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中7分檔有一個要求是uses a range of connectives and discourse markers with some flexibility。答案中的probably。此答案中的typically, especially等都屬于這類詞。

　　加分詞匯：typically, especially

　　加分短語：go for things like….(口語化的短語);be more likely to ;carrying their dogs around; walking them in parks.
