China like a huge dragon. It was used to enemies. Soldiers used to keep watch on
the Great Wall. When the enemy came , fires were lit to warn other soldiers.
I think the Great Wall is the most interesting building. Because it is one

has become a symbol of both China's proud history and its present strength.

When I was in Shanghai last spring, I had some extra time one day and went to the Shanghai Concert Hall. It was time very well spent.
Built in 1930, the 78-year-old building is located on the central of downtown and is a typical classical architecture in a European style. The theater’s classical European architecture makes it one of the most famous architectural and cultural heritages sites in Shanghai. Music performed here is usually 'classical' music, although there are exceptions.
The acoustics are so fantastic that many world-famous artists have been attracted to perform in this hall, including violinists maestro Isaac Stern, Salvatore Accardo, Choliang Lin and cellists Yoyo Ma; pianists Alieda de Larrocha, FU Chong, YING Chunzhong as well as the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra and many others have given high appraisals after giving their successful concerts here.
I was very impressed by the atmosphere and intimacy of the hall. The sound is clear, full-bodied, and clean for every vocal part and the mix is perfect. Even without microphones, every one of the nearly 2,000 members in the audience could hear the speech given by conductor. With its stunning architecture, advanced facilities and modern management, the center will be the crowning jewel of Shanghai's many performing venues. Not to be missed!!!
备选内容：
Where it is
The Shanghai Concert Hall is located in a park between People's Square and the shopping street of Huaihai Lu - when I first came to Shanghai, I lived just around the corner.
What kind of music is performed there
Built in 1930 and originally called the Nanking Theatre, this concert hall holds regular concert mainly from international music troupes.
Why people go there
The project cost 150 million yuan (18.1 million US dollars) and is the largest among similar endeavors made by the east China metropolis.
Many widely known musical celebrities such as conductor Tang Muhai and Zhang Guohai started their careers here.
It echoes from the ghosts of many many many great artists who performed there
And explain your impressions of this place
The concert hall is decorated with marble pillars, Roman chandeliers and other architectural designs.
Sixteen huge marble pillars are seen when audiences step into the lobby, and the front hall is deliberately ornamented with elegant patterns of slightly solemnized color, which is very much in harmony with the music played inside.
Most notably, there's a large television jumbotron on a nearby building. It plays commercials, and there's speakers lying about to play the commercial's sound at night. Kind of annoying, really.

My favourite magazine is called " FalkLands".
I'm a university student who has been in love with history (especially ancient history) for years, and when I discovered this magazine, I was in heaven. It's a weekly magazine. Since I began reading it two years ago, I never missed a single issue.
It's a comprehensive magazine published in the U.S. it has been translated into several versions. I prefer to read the original version. It owns millions of readers around the world. Everything is covered in it, just like an encyclopedia; colonial America, ancient Egypt, you name it, it's probably in here. The photography is breathtaking, and the information is superb. I've spent more than one night up late, just reading through everything. It's quite a good magazine - though I'm just speaking from my own perspective. It might not be entirely accurate, but I'm not complaining.
It enlarges my general knowledge and broadens my horizon. I enjoy the feeling of curling up in the sofa with a magazine. Although surfing the Internet is the faster way to get information, you cannot feel the sense of touching paper.
Trust me. Is it a magazine for pretty much everyone! Go and get it if you like any bit of history, Egyptian or Mayan or American.

The Beauty ---- Mandarin ducks
I happened to meet the Mandarin Ducks over the years in the wild area of Ampere Garden, in ponds along the big drainage. And, I'm 100% sure they were not normal Ducks. It was 'in the wild' and free to fly off whenever it wanted to!
The male mandarin duck is way more colorful, his breast is purple with two vertical white bars and the flanks ruddy, with two orange “sails” at the back. The female is similar to female Wood Duck, all dark green brown. Male Mandarin ducks are considered by many to be the most beautifully colored of all waterfowl.
In China, the mandarin duck is associated as a Chinese weddings symbol, because it symbolizes wedded bliss and fidelity. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: “Two mandarin ducks playing in water”. Mandarin ducks are always depicted in a pair – it is said that if the ducks were separated, they would pine for each other and die of loneliness. Dying of loneliness for love might only be a romantic myth and a cheerful reflection of people's attitude to reality.
Anyway, I love these lovely creatures; I wish I could raise one.

关于这个话题卡，考察的是事件题的描述，口述一次经历的能力。考生可以把最后的④作为主要部分进行描绘，而①②③均包含其中，前后简单交待即可。
Skydiving jump
Skydiving jump. It was the first adventurous activity ever in my life.
We made it last summer. It was a nice sunny day when we went to skydive. We took a 6 hour course and were ready to subdue the sky I went for it with my class mates. I was a little afraid before my first skydiving jump, but my class mates encouraged and convinced me to do it.
Crickey!!!! It was fantastic! I can’t express all the feelings of free flight. It was the combination of happy, frightened, excited, and satisfied. All of these feelings happened at the same time. I could see the Earth below me as I flew like a bird with my parachute. I remember I was flying my body with my friends and was building different formations in the sky. Unfortunately I finally landed in the tree, but it was a smooth landing. I wasn’t hurt at all.
That was a good lasting memory and all I can think about now is when I would be able to skydive again.
Part 3:
New & Exciting Activities
Some people think that it’s good to experience new things, such as exploring new places. Do you agree?
Yes without a doubt. Life is boring if you never encounter or try new things. People will never know what's really out there unless you explore. I went to Egypt last summer, which was a totally new place to me. The civilization of Egypt did broaden my horizon.
What qualities does one need in order to be an explorer?
To be an explorer, one should be brave, cautious, friendly and open-minded. The ability to pick up local customs and language easily is also important.
Do you think young people can handle new experiences and new activities better than old people?
I will say Yes, for the most parts. Seniors usually prefer comfort and to dwell in what they have built for themselves, including daily routine. That’s what we called: falling into a rut. Young people like to keep on trying and learning new things as they can adapt well.
2008年雅思口语话题卡解析(六)：Traditional Event
Describe an important traditional event in your hometown.
You should say:
what this event is.
when it happens.
who participates in this event, what they do.
and explain how you feel about this event.
What this event is
Well, one of the important traditional events in my hometown is Temple Fair, which is now a mass gathering of entertainment and commerce.
When it happens
The Temple Fair in my hometown has a very long history, probably dating from Ming and Qing dynasties. And now it usually occurs from the first to the seventh day of the first month on the lunar calendar.
Who participates in this event and what they do
The Fair attracts a lot of people. Some are going to sell something, most of which are traditional arts and crafts, while others just go there for fun. There will be feature dragon and lion dances, waist drum dancing, as well as other folk performances, and even some staged traditional wedding ceremonies. Besides, you can taste numerous kinds of local snacks and dishes. Acrobatics and other performers are on hand to keep the crowds entertained throughout the day.
and explain how you feel about this event.
For me, I like the Temple Fairs because there are so many games to play, food to eat and performances to appreciate. But what’s more important, it is definitely a cultural experience, and allows one to see Chinese cultures from a very detailed perspective.

Skydiving jump
Skydiving jump. It was the first adventurous activity ever in my life.
We made it last summer. It was a nice sunny day when we went to skydive. We took a 6 hour course and were ready to subdue the sky I went for it with my class mates. I was a little afraid before my first skydiving jump, but my class mates encouraged and convinced me to do it.
Crickey!!!! It was fantastic! I can’t express all the feelings of free flight. It was the combination of happy, frightened, excited, and satisfied. All of these feelings happened at the same time. I could see the Earth below me as I flew like a bird with my parachute. I remember I was flying my body with my friends and was building different formations in the sky. Unfortunately I finally landed in the tree, but it was a smooth landing. I wasn’t hurt at all.
That was a good lasting memory and all I can think about now is when I would be able to skydive again.
Part 3:
New & Exciting Activities
Some people think that it’s good to experience new things, such as exploring new places. Do you agree?
Yes without a doubt. Life is boring if you never encounter or try new things. People will never know what's really out there unless you explore. I went to Egypt last summer, which was a totally new place to me. The civilization of Egypt did broaden my horizon.
What qualities does one need in order to be an explorer?
To be an explorer, one should be brave, cautious, friendly and open-minded. The ability to pick up local customs and language easily is also important.
Do you think young people can handle new experiences and new activities better than old people?
I will say Yes, for the most parts. Seniors usually prefer comfort and to dwell in what they have built for themselves, including daily routine. That’s what we called: falling into a rut. Young people like to keep on trying and learning new things as they can adapt well.
2008年雅思口语话题卡解析(六)：Traditional Event
Describe an important traditional event in your hometown.
You should say:
what this event is.
when it happens.
who participates in this event, what they do.
and explain how you feel about this event.
What this event is
Well, one of the important traditional events in my hometown is Temple Fair, which is now a mass gathering of entertainment and commerce.
When it happens
The Temple Fair in my hometown has a very long history, probably dating from Ming and Qing dynasties. And now it usually occurs from the first to the seventh day of the first month on the lunar calendar.
Who participates in this event and what they do
The Fair attracts a lot of people. Some are going to sell something, most of which are traditional arts and crafts, while others just go there for fun. There will be feature dragon and lion dances, waist drum dancing, as well as other folk performances, and even some staged traditional wedding ceremonies. Besides, you can taste numerous kinds of local snacks and dishes. Acrobatics and other performers are on hand to keep the crowds entertained throughout the day.
and explain how you feel about this event.
For me, I like the Temple Fairs because there are so many games to play, food to eat and performances to appreciate. But what’s more important, it is definitely a cultural experience, and allows one to see Chinese cultures from a very detailed perspective.

你好，
Describe an artist
Well, you know, when we are pursuing a more fashionable life, various kinds of arts are being created. However, compared to the achievements and levels of those artists in our history, it is hard to find out one who is more outstanding. Therefore, to describe an artist, I would like to talk about Qi baishi. One of the ten top artists in the 20th century in China, and also well-know through out the world.
I became to know him when I was in the middle school, when my father, one day, came back home very excitedly, because he successfully got one painting of Qibaishi. However, a week later, my father was disappointed because the painting turned out to be a fake. Later, I am quite interested in gathering all possible information about this artist and his art works.
Under his brush, each flower, bird, fish and even an insect is amazingly vivid, while the hills, the waters and the figures are all perfect, showing the wisdom and philosophy of life and thus moving the readers directly. In his 80s, he was especially famous for his talents in drawing shrimps. He was so hard working that in his life time, he had produced more than 30000 paintings and 3000 poems.
He is a great artist because of his profound achievement in the filed of paintings, calligraphies, poems and seals, because of his combination of the folk art and traditional art, because of his integration of paintings from the life and paintings with freehand. I really admire him.
以上就是这篇雅思口语范文，是关于自己熟悉的一位艺术家，这一直是长盛不衰的话题。大家在备考相关的雅思口语话题的时候，可以根据上面所提示的结构进行自己练习，在口语考试中遇到此类话题时，就可以灵活运用了。

准备1分钟：你就要想啊，他会给你笔纸，写下你的思路。
keep talking for 2分钟：其实不用很担心，考官看你不说了，他就会跟你说。
不会大眼瞪小眼的瞅着你。
口语是互动，真的像聊天一样，不用太紧张。
PS：除非你遇到的那个很BT。。。
再说，你可以去等题啊，如果你不是第一个，你就可以问问刚刚考过的他们PART2说得是什么，这样你的准备时间就不会是1分钟了。。
