【鲜菇杂谈】这些口语话题有点儿意思~

雅思口语出题人一直是我比较好奇的人物群体，他们在出题的路上经常越走越偏离，让人摸不着头脑，比如曾经考过的喝水、脱毛、收垃圾，吃饭、睡觉、看天空。

很多话题真的没有什么讨论价值，甚至题目难度也是三岁孩子水平的。然而，我们没有任何能力抗拒。

最近，我发现，题库中竟出现了一些非常有意义的话题，来提醒我们反思自己的生活方式和学习习惯。这类话题看似有点儿难，但其实也不是那么难答好。

接下来，给大家列举三个话题：列清单、着急，读书，并配有参考答案供大家学习。

Make a list

1.Do you make a list when you shop?

你买东西的时候列清单吗?

When I do grocery shopping in a supermarket, I would make a list onmy phone in advance. The reason is that I need to buy a lot of thingsand I am afraid I can’t remember all the things if I don’t make alist.

如果我去超市就会提前在手机上列个清单，因为我要买很多东西，不列清单的话会忘。

2.Do you make a list for your study?

你学习会列计划吗?

Actually, I do. I thought it would be helpful, but it turned out tobe not. When I finish one of the tasks, I feel so tired that I can’tcontinue to follow the plans on the list. Therefore, the list

seemsto be useless.

其实以前我以为列清单很有用，但后来发现并不是这样。当我完成了其中一项任务之后，我会觉得很疲惫，不想再继续列表上的其他计划。所以，清单真的没什么用。

3.Why do some people dislike making lists?

为什么有些人不喜欢列清单?

In my view, there could be two reasons. Firstly, some people madelists in the past and found that it’s useless. Secondly, there arepeople who have good memories and don’t find it

necessary to make alist at all.

我觉得可能有两个原因。其一，一些人其实是做过清单的，但是后来发现并没有什么用。第二，很多人记忆力超棒，不需要列清单。

4.Do you prefer to make a list in your phone or on paper?

你更喜欢在手机上列清单还是在纸上列清单?

I prefer to make a list on my phone for the reason that it would bestrange to take a piece of paper to the supermarket. Also, I mayforget to take the paper with me when I am in a rush but I wouldnever leave my phone at home.

我更喜欢在手机上列清单因为拿着张纸去超市看上去有点儿傻。而且我着急的话可能会忘带这张纸，但是我绝对不会把手机落在家里。

2.Do you usually go out in a hurry?

你出门经常很着急吗?

In many situations yes. The reason is that I usually need to do a lotof things before I go out, such as taking a shower, changing myclothes and doing my make-up. I tend to be late, so I am always in ahurry so as not to be late.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of reading books. I prefer to watchsome TV shows and short videos in my spare time. I don’t know whatbooks to read. Nobody recommends me any.

说实话，不喜欢。我更喜欢闲暇时候看电视或者短视频。我不知道该读什么书，没人给我推荐，而且读书也不是很放松的事。

3.Do Chinese people do enough reading?

中国人读书多吗?

Based on my observation, we Chinese don’t do enough reading. Forexample, when I travel on a subway, I realize that the commuters arealways playing with their phones listening to

music or playing gamesinstead of reading a book. Very few people would hold a book to read.

根据我的观察，中国人书读得不多。比如，我坐地铁的时候发现，车上的人大多在玩手机或者听音乐、玩游戏而不是读书。很少有人拿本书在读。

4.What kind of people like reading and what kind of people don’t?

什么样的人喜欢读书，什么样的人不喜欢读书?

It is my opinion that language teachers and history teachers lovereading a lot. Also, writers and people who study literature. Theirjobs require them to read. As for people who dislike

reading, I wouldsay that these people usually cannot concentrate for a long time.They may prefer outdoor activities like hiking or cycling.

在我看来，语言教师和历史教师都很喜欢读书，作家和研究文学的人也是，这是他们的工作需要。不爱读书的人应该是那些无法集中精力很久的人吧，他们可能更喜欢爬山、骑行这些户外活动。
