宠物的雅思口语话题

1. Do you have a pet?

Yeah, I have a pet dog, a super adorable teddy dog. She's 2 years old now. And she's like a little sister to me.

没有，但是想有。然后解释为啥没有的原因：No, but I've always wanted one. I'm a cat person, and I'm dying to have a Ragdoll, a British Shorthair or a Scottish Fold. They are so fluffy and just like a ball of fur.

But my mom won't allow it, 'cause she thinks they are heavy shedders, and none of us have the time to groom them or keep the rooms clean and tidy.

No, 'cause I'm allergic to dogs and cats. I just won't stop sneezing when they come too close to me, but I have to say, they are really cute to look at, I mean, with all those fluffy fur and adorable paws.

没有，也不想有：No, they always bring back horrible memories from my childhood. I've been attacked by a fierce homeless dog / cat, so I was kind of traumatized. Since then, I just couldn't stand the sight of dogs/cats, not even the cute little ones.

其实宠物不光有猫狗，常见的pet还有：turtle, rabbit, hamster, fish, snail, snake, spider等等。如果有的话就对号入座吧~

语言点解析：

be dying to do / for something = to want something or want to do something very much 例如：

I'm dying for a glass of water.

I'm dying to know what happened.

heavy shedder = a kind of animal that loses its fur naturally and heavily 例如：

How often does a snake shed its skin?

trees that shed their leaves in autumn

groom = to clean or brush an animal 例如：

The horses are all well fed and groomed.

2. What is your favorite animal?

可以说个不现实的、不能做为宠物养的，甚至是已经灭绝的例如dinosaur...

Well, definitely giant pandas, but unfortunately, I couldn't keep one as my pet.

如果你不是个animal lover也无所谓，挑个相对来说比较喜欢的就行了：Well, to be honest, I don't have a favorite kind of animal, but if I have to choose one, then maybe cats/spiders, 'cause they are usually pretty cute/cool.

3. Do you think it's good to keep a pet at home?

这道题的答案就比较老生常谈啦，咋想咋说就行：Yeah, especially when there're small children at home, it's a good way to develop their sense of responsibility, you know, 'cause they need to take care of the pet, like feed them and groom them, which actually takes a lot of efforts.

Oh, and also pets can be a perfect companion to senior citizens, especially to those who have lost their spouse, pets can be a great comfort.

语言点解析：

efforts = the physical or mental energy that you need to do something; something that takes a lot of energy 例如：

You should put more effort into your work.

It's a long climb to the top, but well worth the effort.

Getting up this morning was quite an effort. (= it was difficult)

companion = a person or an animal that travels with you or spends a lot of time with you 例如：

travelling companions

Fear was the hostages' constant companion. (figurative)

comfort = a person or thing that helps you when you are suffering, worried or unhappy 例如：

The children have been a great comfort to me through all of this.

It's a comfort to know that she is safe.

4. Are there any disadvantages of keeping a pet?

Yeah, I guess. Um...one of the most common complaints I heard from those people who have pets is that pets like dogs and cats tend to wreck things at home, like furniture or slippers. They are like little troublemakers who always make a mess. And you just need to clean up after them.

And another downside is that pets tend to have a shorter lifespan, which means we have to accept the fact that they wouldn't be able to keep us company forever. And when that day arrives, it would be heartbreaking.

语言点解析：

clean up = to remove dirt, etc. from somewhere 例如：

I'm always having to clean up after the children (= clean the place after they have left it dirty and untidy).

lifespan = the length of time that something is likely to live, continue or function 例如：

Worms have a lifespan of a few months.

题目分析

遇到关于宠物的话题，家里养宠物的同学们是不是觉得非常得心应手?有没有很多关于自己养宠物的经历想要与考官分享呢?欣怡老师家里从小到大养过十多条狗狗，还有热带鱼和各种鸟，现在还自己养了一只名为“小怪兽”的仓鼠，所以聊起这个话题感觉有说不完的话。当然，没养过宠物的同学们遇到这个话题也不要慌，想一想自己想养哪种宠物?如果觉得小猫小狗太寻常的话也不妨可以尝试一下讲一些让考官们眼前一亮的宠物喔。

思路点拨

好，回归正题，遇到这样的话题第一步我们需要理清思绪，想清楚自己的口语话题要从哪几方面展开会比较充实。其实这个话题与描述一种野生动物的套路是一样一样的，在描述自己养过或者想养的宠物时，考生也需要介绍宠物的外观、生活习性等细节，关键是能够介绍出自己如何饲养这一宠物以及饲养这一宠物给自己带来的好处，例如快乐地陪伴、培养爱心和耐心等待。

建议包括以下四点：

(1) What it is

(2) How long you have raised it

(3) How to take care of it

(4)Explain what benefits you can get from keeping a pet

Sample Answer

If I ever decide to buy a pet, I would buy a hamster. A hamster is a kind of mouse, and it’s smaller than a rat. It doesn't have long tail, and its mouth is not sharp. Hamsters have a lighter colour, something like gray. The reason I choose hamsters is that they’re so adorable and mischievous. Furthermore, hamsters like to run around a wheel and can go for 15-20 minutes without stopping. To me it is fascinating to watch them do that.

They are actually very easy to take care of. I would just need to put the hamster in a cage, have some pet toys in there, and that would be enough. Food for hamsters is very simple: they like to eat carrot, fruits, and nuts. Of course, we shouldn't forget water. It's very simple to keep the cage clean. Just make sure the cage is clean and water is replenished every day. I would say a hamster is a very clean animal and very entertaining just to watch. I'm sure all kids and adults would surely like a hamster.

雅思口语如何描述一个宠物

雅思口语话题题目：

Describe a time when you saw an interesting animal.You should say:

What animal it was Where you saw it

What happened when you saw it

And explain why you thought it was interesting.

雅思口语题参考文本：

For this topic,I would like to talk about the sloth.Sloths have short,flat heads,big eyes;short snouts,long legs,and tiny ears.Some species have stubby tails.Altogether,sloths'bodies are usually between 50 and 60 cm long.Sloths are hilariously slow in Disney's latest movie'Zootopia'.

This was a smash hit internationally,as it appealed to all age groups.Besides,they are experts in playing cute.I think that's probably the reason why so many people like sloths.What strikes me the most is that sloths are'vegans',they eat leaves,flower petals and other plant products.They are essentially herbivores.They can be compared to koala bears in some ways,as they are both considered to be bone-idle.So I think it's a really interesting animal and I hope to see it in the flesh one day.

雅思口语高分词汇以及表达：

1.树懒的英文叫sloth，这个名词除了指树懒，还相当于laziness，比如有这么个例句：He should overcome his natural sloth.

2.树懒的鼻子叫做snout，这个形容词用在树懒身上就是形容它的塌塌鼻啦

3.stubby这个形容词表示短而粗的这里形容树懒的尾巴

4.hilariously副词表示滑稽的，在这里形容slow我们可以用这样的词来替换very,quite等

5.play cute这个词表示卖萌

6.口语中形容......对于我印象最深刻可以用这个高分表达

What strikes me the most，除此之外还可以用what impressed me the most或者是impressively

7.vegan这个词本身指的是素食主义者，这里是拟人的用法，形容树懒吃素。
