6、ould you choose? 雅思（口语）模拟试卷 15答案与解析 一、 Speaking Module (10-15 minutes) 1 【正确答案】 Studies Im a student. I study English at a private school in Guangzhou. Ive been there for almost six months. Well, like most people taking this test in China, Id like to study abroad. Id prefer to study in Australia and

7、 obviously English is necessary to get into universities there. To be honest, I dont like it very much. The building is very nice but the facilities inside are not very good at all. Next time I choose a school, Ill be careful to ask about the facilities in more detail. The teachers at the school are

8、 quite good they are certainly very enthusiastic but without the equipment to support them, they cant do as good a job as they are capable of. The teachers are very helpful. They suggest some ways of improving our English faster. I also meet two friends once or twice a week. One is Chinese and the o

9、ther is a Canadian. We go out and talk in English. I find that to be really helpful. I know that I can learn a lot in class, but theres nothing to beat real-life practise. No, I dont. To be honest, I find them quite boring. They dont like to take the teachers advice and practise outside the classroo

10、m. They also like to complain a lot and I dont want to be around people with such a negative attitude. Films I like documentaries and films that are based on true stories. Like many people, 1 find that the real world is often stranger than the fictional ones created by writers and directors. Im very

11、 interested in history, so you wont be surprised to know that my favourite film is Schindlers List. I think that a lot of older people like watching them, but younger people prefer romantic films and action films. I think that peoples tastes in films change as they get older and they become more int

12、erested in the real world. My favourite actress is Zhang Zi Yi. I admit that find her very attractive, not only talented. She has made several very good films. A good actor or actress needs to be able to portray a range of emotions on screen and I think she does this perfectly. In recent years, she

13、and Gong Li have been constantly compared and you can often find people who are interested in films discussing which of them is the more talented and which of them is the more attractive. That would be great! Id have to attend a really acting school first, since my acting abilities are not so good.

14、I know that being an actor would be very hard work, but Id love meeting some famous people and going to some awards ceremonies and parties. Of course, the money would be nice too! Food and cooking I know that you might think Im crazy, but honestly, my favourite food is hamburgers. I love them! I lik

15、e the kind that you can get at American fast food places, but I think that I can make better ones at home. I put on plenty of salad and some cheese. Sometimes they are taller than they are wide! My friends think theyre pretty good too. I really enjoy cooking and I think that I can cook many dishes w

16、ell. My father worked as a chef for a few years and now owns his own restaurant. Sometimes, I would go to watch him cooking and try to help a little. I seriously considered following my father into the catering industry, but I decided that, for me, it was more of a hobby than a career. I live alone,

17、 so I cook for myself. The equipment in my kitchen is modem, so I can cook whatever I want-whether Chinese food or something originating from abroad. However, I dont cook every day. Sometimes, I go to a restaurant near my home or school and other times I meet my friends for dinner before going to a

18、bar or cafe. I cant think of anything. My Canadian friend calls me the human dustbin, the first time he did that, I was a little offended, but now I know it was a friendly joke-and absolutely tree! Whenever we are out, I stop at a stall in the street and buy a snack. If its something I havent tried

19、before, thats even better! 2 【正确答案】 My bike is very important and useful for me. 1 use it mainly to ride to and from school each day and I also ride it some weekends if I go to the countryside. As I only live a short distance from my school, it doesnt tire me out and sometimes its faster than going

20、by car because of the traffic jams. On a bike, its easy to wind in and out of the traffic. Of course, there is the problem of breathing in the fumes from the idling cars. My bike was originally blue, but much of the paint has come off and it is quite dirty. I dont mind that because it is far less li

21、kely to get stolen if it looks old. Even though the bike looks to be in bad condition, I keep the brakes and tyres in the best condition I can. I also have a small basket on the front, which I use to carry books or shopping. 3 【正确答案】 I think that the four most important possessions for Chinese peopl

22、e nowadays are houses, cars, computers and mobile phones. Houses and cars are the big status symbols and some people will spend almost all their money on them, just to look more important than they actually are, The fact that cars are such an important status symbol has helped to create traffic prob

23、lems in most big cities. Computers are status symbols, even though most people in cities can buy them. I think they show that a person is up-to-date with the latest technology. The latest mobile phones are often considered extremely cool, so people will sometimes buy one, then discard it only a year

24、 later for a newer, cooler model. I sometimes wonder if that is how some people treat their boyfriends and girlfriends! I think that they generally do. Both men and women like to have nice cars and trendy mobile phones. Both sexes also like to wear the latest fashions, although obviously men go for

25、suits and ladies go for dresses. Ladies like jewellery as a symbol of status and wealth. Men dont usually wear necklaces or bracelets, but they do wear watches. I think that, if you want to appear well off and trendy, there are certain things that you must have. I think that nice homes and the lates

26、t electronic gadgets will still be the most valued possessions. I think that attractive clothes and jewellery will also remain valued. I mean, they have been for hundreds of years and I doubt that will change. I think that it is also possible that people will value hand-crafted and traditional items

27、 rather than mass-produced items, because mass-produced items will be so common. I would like to have an expensive aviators watch, hand made in Switzerland. I think it would be great to have a small status symbol like that something that people could notice and comment on, but not something that everyone can see instantly.
