引導語：雅思口語Part1新題預測精選，由應屆畢業生培訓網整理而成，謝謝您的閱讀。
一、鄉村
Have you ever been to the countryside?
I’m a city boy. I don’t think I would survive even one night in the countryside. It’s too quiet, too dirty, and too tacky. I’m sure it would drive me nuts.
我是個城市男孩。我覺得自己在鄉下連一晚上也撐不過去。鄉下太安靜，太髒，太俗氣。我肯定它會把我逼瘋的。
Do you like living in the countryside?
I grew up on a farm and moved to the city where I had my tires slashed, mailbox stolen and even had food stolen off my barbecue grill. I moved to the suburbs where my house was burgled. How I wish I were still on the farm!
我在農村長大的後來搬進了市裡，在市裡我的輪胎被割，信箱被偷，甚至燒烤架上食物都被偷過。我搬到郊區，房子被盜。我多希望我還住在農場裡啊!
What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in the countryside?
I live in the country and I love my place. I lived in the city for a few months and it wasn’t my cup of tea. My advantages of living in the country are that it is peaceful and quiet and you have all the privacy in the world. You can see the stars almost every night, as opposed to the city. I really see no disadvantages of living in the country.
我住在鄉下而且我喜歡我家。我在市裡住了幾個月但是我不喜歡。住在鄉下的優點是那裡很祥和安靜而且你有很多隱私。幾乎每晚你都能看到星星，和城市相反。我真的看不出來住在鄉下有什麼不好的。
What are the differences between living in cities and living in the countryside?
I’m proud of where I came from. I was born and raised in boondocks. There’s no congested traffic, polluted air and fast-paced life. I love my hometown! Would swap it only for heaven.
我對自己出身很自豪。我是在鄉下土生土長的。那沒有擁堵的交通，汙染的空氣，快節奏的生活。我愛我的家鄉!只會拿它和天堂換。
The difference between the relationship of neighbours in the countryside and that in the city?
I personally think people in the cities have bad relationships with neighbours. They are impolite, aloof and most of them do not even know the name of the people next-door, while rural people share their lives in many aspects.
我個人認為城裡的人們和鄰居的關係不好。他們沒有禮貌，很冷漠，而且大多數人不知道隔壁人的名字，但是農村人在很多方面分享他們的生活。
二、幫助別人
you think it’s important to help others?
There’s an old saying, “You reap what you sow”. I believe that if you are nice to people, they will be nice back, or at least they are more likely to be! I’m not sure this always works in practice, but this shouldn’t put you off trying.
古語說得好：“一分耕耘，一分收穫。”我相信如果你對別人好，別人也會對你好。或至少他們可能會對你好。我不確定總會有收穫，但是你總得嘗試一下。
you give me an example of helping others?
Yes, indeed! I recently had to help carry my friend’s mother-in-law down several flights of stairs and into an ambulance. She had had an accident and broken her leg the day before and was unable to walk, so I was brought in as an extra pair of hands.
可以。最近我不得不幫忙抬我朋友的婆婆下幾層樓梯，並抬進救護車裡。前天她意外摔斷了她的腿，不能走路了。所以我被叫來幫個忙。
taught you to help others?
In my opinion, you learn qualities like this from your family, and I’m no different. My mother has always been a role model for me and she inspires me. She’s selfless and compassionate, willing to drop everything to help other people.
我認為這樣的行為品質都是跟家裡人學的。我也不例外。我的媽媽是我的榜樣，她也總鼓勵我這麼做。她很無私，也很有同情心。為了幫助別人她願意付出一切。
you like your neighbours?
To tell you the truth, I rarely see my neighbours, but we have a perfectly good relationship. We might pass each other on the stairs of my apartment building and exchange pleasantries once in a while. Occasionally they may play loud music or make noise, but I think we’re all guilty of that from time to time!
說實話，我很少看到我的鄰居。但是我們的關係都很好。當我們在公寓的樓梯裡相遇時，會互相寒暄一下。有時他們會大聲放音樂，製造噪音。不過我認為我們都有過錯，因為不時地我也會製造噪音。
you like to help others?
Yes, I enjoy helping others. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a good thing to help people and quite often you can make a difference to someone else’s life without having to go massively out of your way. What’s more, there’s a real feel-good factor of lending someone a helping hand.
是的，我喜歡幫助別人。就我個人認為：幫助他人是件好事，而且我們常常可以在不給自己添特別多麻煩的情況下給別人的生活帶來改變。而且，向別人伸出援手，也可以給自己帶來不錯的感覺。
三、睡覺
many hours do you sleep every day? Why?
Mostly 6-7 hours. For me, I still need about 8-9 to feel really alert throughout the day. If I sleep any less than 6 hours I will feel tired the next day.
大多數時候是6-7個小時。對我來說，我仍然需要8-9個小時的.睡眠時間以保持一天充沛精力。如果少於6個小時我第二天會覺得很累。
it necessary to sleep enough?
Yes. Coz your body and more importantly, your brain need to take a break. This can really only be done properly when you're asleep. Your body rests, takes stock of its functions and carries out necessary repair and restoration work on the body. If you're constantly on the move, with no sleep, your body will be unable to do this.
是的，因為你的身體，更重要的是你的大腦需要休息。只有在睡覺的時候，你的身體和大腦才能適當休息。你的身體休息，觀察它自身的運作，然後進行必要的修理工作。如果你不停地動、不睡覺，你的身體就不能做這些了。
taking a nap important?
The desire for a short nap during the day does not arise out of laziness, rather the need for the body to rejuvenate. Napping is a pleasurable yet brief period of sleep when our minds and bodies can take a break. Though many judge it as a pastime for children or the elderly, napping can benefit people of all ages.
白天裡想要小憩一會的慾望並不是由於懶惰，而是身體復原的需要。小憩是讓我們的身體和大腦休息、短暫卻令人愉悅的一段時間。儘管很多人認為這是小孩或者老人打消時間的方式，但小憩的確可以使各個年齡層的人受益。
old people sleep a lot?
I think so. But in general, they don't need much sleep, I think. Although the majority of elderly people that I see do sleep much, it is out of boredom rather than necessity.
確實。但是總體來講，我認為他們不需要更長時間的睡眠。儘管我認識的大多數老人確實睡得比較久，但這只是由無聊而不是自身需要引起的。
you think staying up late is a good thing?
I think staying up late is an enjoyable activity for most. Just be sure to get a little sleep. Besides, don't do this regularly or else you will get dark circles under your eyes. Also, a lack of sleep can cause serious health problems.
我認為對於大多數人來說熬夜是令人享受的事情。只是要確保至少睡一會。另外不要經常熬夜，否則你會有黑眼圈。而且，缺覺會引起嚴重的健康問題。
四、小組合作
Do you prefer group-work or working alone?
I honestly don't mind working in either setting. You may think that working individually means you'll get things done quicker and with less hassle, but at the same time you may struggle for ideas and inspiration.
我真心不介意在哪種情況工作。你可能認為獨立工作意味著你會更快地把事情做完，麻煩更少，不過同時你可能會為想法和靈感糾結。
What are the benefits of group-work?
It can be useful to have more than one pair of eyes and ears working on a project. Group work allows a greater range of opinions to come to the fore and also shares the work around so the result isn't just dependent on one person.
在一個專案裡有多於一雙眼睛和耳朵可以很有用。團隊工作使得廣泛的意見變得重要，另外會把工作分攤這樣結果不會依賴於一個人。
Did you have any experience of group working when you were young? How about now?
We would occasionally have group projects when I was at school, but when it came to final grades we were mostly judged on individual work. Now that I am older and have a job, I work in groups much more regularly. I guess at school group work is about promoting teamwork, whereas in the work place it is about putting that teamwork into action to get the best result.
我們偶爾會有小組專案在我以前上學時，不過說起最終成績，我們大部分是按個人作業判決的。現在我長大了有工作了，我更多地是在團隊裡工作。我猜在學校，小組作業是為了促進團隊合作，但是在工作中，是為了把團隊合作付諸實施來取得最好的結果。
What is the most difficult part of group working?
Obviously working in a team leads to a greater number of ideas, but also opinions. It's great if everybody agrees or is willing to listen, but sometimes there can be a clash of heads when two or more people don't agree.
很顯然在團隊裡工作會產生有很多的點子，不過也是意見。如果每個人都意見一致或者願意傾聽是很棒的，不過有時候當兩個或更多的人有分歧時，可能會有衝突。
What kind of people would like to work in groups?
I think the sort of person who likes to work in a group is a good team player. They don't think they are better than other people or that their ideas are any more relevant, they are a good listener and are willing to get their head down and work hard for everybody. They might also be level headed and keep calm in heated situations.
我覺得喜歡在小組中工作的那種人是善於與團隊合作的人。他們不認為他們比其他人更好或者他們的想法更相關，他們是很好的聆聽者而且願意靜靜地工作併為了每個人努力工作。他們可能也是頭腦冷靜的並且能在激烈情況下保持冷靜。
五、科學
Do you like science? Why or why not?
I love the world of science because studying science gives me the opportunity and provides me the tools to understand the world around me in great depth. Without scientific research, we would have no idea how forces of nature and natural resources can be used for the greater good. We wouldn’t even have electricity!
我喜歡學習科學，因為它給我機會也給我提供工具讓我深入的瞭解周邊世界。沒有科學研究，我們無法知道造物主的能力和自然資源能如何被更好地利用。我們甚至會沒有電可用。
What do you find most interesting in science?
I think the region of physics and astronomy is a very interesting part of science. I am very curious about what is beyond planet Earth, and even beyond our solar system. As a result, I really like science fiction comic books and movies like Interstellar that explore the possibility of life away from Earth.
我覺得物理和天文學領域是科學中很有意思的兩個方面。我對地球之外甚至太陽系之外有什麼感到非常好奇。所以，我很喜歡科幻小說漫畫和電影，類似星際穿越，那個關於探尋地球之外可能存在的生命的電影。
Is there anything about science that you don't like?
One thing I dislike is the misuse of science. For example, I think the discovery of nuclear energy was a phenomenal scientific advance but since then it has become used in the nuclear bombard and therefore poses a major threat to the world in destructive capabilities, raising the stakes of international conflicts.
我不喜歡的是濫用科學。比如核能的發現是巨大的科學進步，但是之後它被用於製造核炸彈，於是它的破壞力對整個世界造成致命的威脅，造成國際爭端。
What science did or do you learn at school?
My school science teachers were great people and they made the lessons fun, so, as a result, I remember a lot of what I learned, even though it was a long time ago! The biological experiments we did are the most memorable part of school science classes.
我學校裡的科學老師們都非常棒，而且課程很有趣。所以，即使過了很長時間，我依然記得很多我學的內容。我們做的生物實驗是科學課上最難忘的部分。
How has the science that you have studied helped you?
Although I haven’t ended up working in a science-based industry, my science classes helped me develop valuable analytical skills that continue to help me think about how things work – whether an electrical appliance, a car motor or the inner workings of living plants and animals, those classes helped me understand how different systems work.
儘管我最終沒有在科學領域工作，但是我在科學課上學到的分析能力在我日後的工作中一直幫助我去思考萬物的原理——不論是電子產品，汽車發動機還是動植物的內部原理。這些課程幫助我瞭解不同系統是如何運作的。
六、報紙
you often read newspapers?
I think reading a newspaper is definitely my favourite past time. I do not read everything but I make an effort to look at headlines and then my favorite columns, such as entertainment, fashion, technology etc.
讀報紙確實是我最喜歡的休閒活動。我不是每個部分都讀但是我確實都要看一下大標題然後讀我最喜歡的欄目，比如：娛樂，時尚，科技等等。
h do you prefer reading, magazines or newspapers?
I prefer reading magazines because they usually contain more varied articles which are of better quality. Since newspapers are published more frequently, there is a tendency for them to have more errors than those which are published once a week or once a month. Content in magazines is more timeless, while news is no longer news the following day.
我更喜歡看雜誌，因為雜誌裡的文章內容更多樣而且往往品質更高。與一週或者一個月才出版一次的期刊相比，報紙出版得更頻繁，所以有可能包含更多的錯誤。雜誌的內容不受時間的約束，而新聞第二天就不再是新聞了。
you think it's important to read newspapers? (Why?/Why not?)
Newspapers are very important. I still like reading the paper. I believe it is easier to absorb all the news rather than having it hyped and glamorized by TV or being made up a put on twitter etc. It’s your responsibility to stay up-to-date on what is happening in your country and in the world.
報紙很重要，我還是很喜歡看報紙。跟美化了的電視新聞和推特新聞等相比，看報紙更易於我對於新聞的吸收。而你應該對於你的國家和世界最近發生的事有所瞭解。
do (you think) people read newspapers?
Because we need to be informed on the latest news. I can read news on the Internet, but there really is something to be said for having a real newspaper in your hands with all of the news in it. I don't have to constantly click around, it's just a smooth turn of the page.
因為我們需要了解最新的新聞。雖然我可以上網看新聞，但是讀一份彙集了所有新聞的報紙還是很有好處的。我不需要一直點選滑鼠，只需要輕鬆翻頁。
are some methods that newspapers use to attract readers?
There are many tricks, bold headings, attractive advertisements, insights into the article, catchy phrases or sentences to get the readers’ attention. Also different features for other readers i.e. gossip, fashion etc. Coupons or vouchers are also attached sometimes.
有很多方法可以吸引讀者——加粗的標題、吸引人的廣告、文章的見解、妙句。並且，對於其他讀者的不同特點，也就是八卦、時尚等。優惠券或者抵用券有時也會附上(用來吸引讀者)。
七、教師
are more important, the teachers or the students?
Well, they are reliant on each other – you can’t have one without the other. Teachers are important in the present, without them students would have no one to learn from and guide them. However, students are important for the future, as they will grow up and go on to educate the next generation.
教師學生相互依存，缺一不可。當今老師很重要，沒有老師，學生不知道從誰哪裡學習也沒人指導他們。但學生對未來更重要，因為他們成人後會繼續教育下一代。
can you learn from teachers?
I think it’s vital that we can learn a lot from our teachers. After all, that’s their job. Personally, I was blessed with some fantastic teachers during my school days. They taught me not only academic skills, but also skills that I could transfer to everyday life.
我認為從老師身上學很多東西才是最重要的。畢竟那是他們的工作。以我個人來說，在學校的時光，那些好老師讓我受益匪淺。他們不僅僅教授專業知識，還教會我很多生活技能。
are interesting teachers and students important?
As I see it, a good teacher has to grab students’ attention and keep them engaged. A lot of students don’t want to study and start to lose concentration in class, perhaps daydreaming or starting to fall to sleep. Equally, trying to teach a room full of students who are not interested must be very demoralizing to a teacher.
我認為，一個好的老師能抓住學生們的注意力並讓他們參與到課堂中。很多學生都不想學習，會在課上走神，也可能會做做白日夢或者睡覺。同樣，教一群對上課不感興趣的學生，對老師來講也是很消沉的。
you want to be a teacher?
Since I can remember, I have always had aspirations to be a teacher. I feel it’s a noble profession and I like the idea of passing on my knowledge to a new generation of pupils. The long holidays that teachers enjoy would be the icing on the cake!
從我記事以來，我一直都很想成為一名老師。我覺得教師是一個很高尚的職業，很喜歡傳授自己知識給下一代年輕人這個想法。做教師能享受的悠長假期更是錦上添花!
h teacher impressed you most when you were a student?
I will always remember my English teacher, Mr Hu. His enthusiasm and command of the language drove me to become better and inspired me to study hard and reach my goals. What impressed me most is that he would go above and beyond to motivate us and help us realize our potential.
我永遠都記得我的英語老師胡老師。他的熱情和對語言的掌握促使我變得更好，並且激勵我努力學習和達到自己的目標。最讓我印象深刻的是他會超出自己的本職工作來調動我們的積極性，幫助我們發揮我們的潛力。
