雅思口语part1话题8分范文品读：Games
好的part1答案，不在长句大词的炫技，而在流利简洁有效的回应，也就是simplicity&fluency，看看他关于话题：Parks(公园)的9分范文。关于Games,需要指出，一般应该将其理解为对抗性的体育运动，从足球，到象棋，千万不要理解为网络游戏。变题月不慌，躺好带你飞!
1. What games are popular in your country?
中国有些运动比较火？
雅思口语考官范文：Well, if we can consider sports as games, then football is definitely the most popular game in my country, but we also love board games like chess.
2. Do you play any games?
你平常玩什么运动？
雅思口语考官范文：Not regularly these days. I play the occasional game of tennis with my brother-in-law, and I recently played a bowling game on the Nintendo Wii with my nephew. I wasn't very good at it.
3. How do people learn to play games in your country?
中国人是怎么学习各种体育运动？
雅思口语考官范文：I think children teach each other to play games. I remember a friend at primary school teaching me to play chess, for example.
4. Do you think it's important for people to play games?
你认为参加体育运动重要么？
雅思口语考官范文：Yes, it's really important, especially for children. I think research has shown that play can improve brain development, intelligence, creativity, and the ability to cooperate with others.
雅思口语part1话题8分范文品读：Parks
1. Do you like parks? Why / why not?
Yes, I like parks because they're great places to relax or go for a walk. I think every
city needs some green space where people can escape from the crowds.
解读：这个答案看似稀松平常，但其实烤鸭还是可以从中学习一二。看前句，讲理由时“they are great places to relax or go for a walk”，扪心自问的话，我们在面临相同语境时，往往容易说随口成“people can relax or go for a walk in parks”，两句话的高下立现。究其原因，是因为考官的回答，是紧抓着topic，以park为描述的对象，以其为中心展开句子，所以，显得表意强力，同时也符合英语的表达习惯。第二句可以说是升华句，要知道对于雅思口语part1的问题，2句话便是足够好的答案。simon在此处可以说很带感的讲述了park对于城市人的意义：green space where people can escape from the crowds，简洁而富感染力。
2. How often do you visit parks?
There's a park very close to where I live, so I probably go there once or twice a week if the weather's nice.
点评：本回答的亮点是” There's a park very close to where I live”和” if the weather's nice”，可以说作者很清晰直白地向我们展示了如何将一个贫瘠的雅思口语回答”I probably go there once or twice a week”优化得有血有肉的过程。最终回答是简洁而真实。
3. Why are parks an important part of many towns and cities?
Parks are like an oasis where people get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. They are where people go to have lunch, to take some exercise, or to forget about work for a while.
点评：作者在此回答中开始了炫技。词法上有：oasis, get away from, the hustle and bustle;句法上则是连续的两个where的从句(前者是定从，后者是表从)。与问题1的回答相同，依然是紧抓parks作为叙述的主角，而不是作为people的配角。
4. What do you think could be done to make parks better?
The parks in big cities are already really good in my opinion. If I think about the famous parks in London, Paris or New York, I can't imagine what I would do to improve them.
点评：这个雅思口语答案有点无厘头。但是作者也在向我们展示如何对一个自身不太了解的问题打太极的方式：问有何改进之处，答曰好到不能再好了。

Greenery，majestic scenery 令人赞叹的景色，A gem of a park，Grassy areas

雅思口语part1话题8分范文品读：travel
1. Do you like travelling?
You bet! I am a big fan of travelling around. I spend months all together each year to go somewhere else. I feel that it’s not only an indispensable part of my life, but also can culture my mental development.
雅思口语考官范文点评：you bet(当然)是本答案的惊喜，让整个答案的情感力量瞬间满溢，非常亲切。可以说是我们通常推荐的of course, definitely的小众版同义替换。
而 a big fan of...(非常喜欢)则是另一个非常好用的地道表达，可以说，格调甩已烂大街的表达like...very much之类数条街。
高分词indispensable(不可或缺的)，高分报答not only...but also.
2. In which seasons do you prefer to travel?
I guess the autumn is the best time to travel, as it is neither too hot nor too cold, people will feel comfortable to go out. Besides, as the foliage of trees will turn yellow or red, you will find the picturesque views all around you. Wherever you go, you will experience a memorable trip.
雅思口语考官范文点评：句子很美，让人瞬间进入到了秋日马路踩落叶的画面中。在词汇上，注意foliage(替换leaf)，picturesque(替换beautiful)和memorable。在句子上注意两个as，一个besides，一个whenever的使用，让句子读起来很连贯。
3. Would you say your country is a good place for travellers to visit?
Yes, Chinese people are renowned for their hospitality to visitors. And there are also numerous tourist attractions around the country. For instance, you can visit the natural landscape to see the picturesque views, or you can go to the historical relics to know the events through the long Chinese history, or you can just stay at the metropolises to experience the local people’s lifestyle.
雅思口语考官范文点评：词汇丰富不用多说，renowned, hospitality, numerous, tourist attraction, natural landscape, picturesque view, historical relics, metropolises.
霸道的是能瞬间从自然景观(natural landscape)，历史景观(historical relics)，人文(local lifestyle)三方面来讲述，只能说，思路很开，我辈跪伏。
另外一个不得不说的细节，才是彰显9分功力的地方：在讲述这三方面时，他分别用了三组不同的动词：visit&see, go&know, stay&experience。
