　　雅思口语part1参考答案

　　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对于动物描述的形容词。在准备此问题的答案时，要注意回答一些动物词汇的英语表达及描述该类动物的相关词汇的英语表达。

　　加分词汇：probably, loyal(忠诚的), affectionate(有感情的), playful(爱玩儿闹的), indifferent(漠不关心的), 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(鱼缸), younger people on the other hand are more likely to keep cats and dogs, especially those cute little dogs, terriers (小猎狗)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：雅思口语评分标准中7分档有一个要求是uses a range of connectives and discourse markers with some flexibility。答案中的probably。此答案中的typically, especially等都属于这类词。

　　加分词汇：typically, especially

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