实际上,大家对房子的要求各不相同,从装潢到布局,我们都会有各自的想法。但是,我们应该怎么将这些零碎的想法整合起来,有条理地介绍我们的ideal house呢?季的
雅思口语题库中,就有描述ideal house的题目:
Describe your idea of an ideal house
You should say:
?What kind of house it would be
?Why you would like to live here
?What special features it would haveAnd explain whether you think you will ever live in a house like this
题目解析
01What kind of house it would be
首先我们要明确自己想写什么样的房子,可以是想象中的房子,可以是现实生活中有的房子,但是建议有一个具象的概念,扩展起来更容易。
我们上面提到过一些房子,比如常见的有乡下的小洋房,城里的豪华公寓,房车等等,不那么常见的房子还有树屋(treehouse),冰屋(igloo), 船屋(houseboat),集装箱房子(shipping container homes)等等。
那在本篇解析中给出的范例是a house in the countryside,乡下的房子。
而我们在回答这个一个问题时,不能只说我想要什么样的房子,否则扩展显然不够,解决方法是可以解释一下为什么会产生这样的想法,或者在哪里见过这样的房子。
另外,大家要明确一点,house和apartment是不同的,house是独栋的,通常有花园,apartment就是我们城市中常见的楼房里面的一层公寓。
参考范例
Speaking of an ideal house, I would like toown a house in the countryside. I once lived in the countryside with my grandparents for a while, and those cute houses there impressed me a lot, so if I can choose, I will definitely live in a house like that.
语料积累
Speaking of 提到,提及Impress 给…留下深刻的印象02Why you would like to live here
如果看一下第二题,第三小题甚至第四小题,很多同学会有疑问,2,3,4是不是在问同样的问题,都是要解释我想要住在这个房子中的理由,看上去确实是,但是我们可以主动区分这几个问题的层次。

第二小题要求我们解释为什么想住在这个房子里,顺承上一个问题我们的回答,可以解释一下“乡下”的好处,乡下生活的那段时间是怎么让我印象深刻,以至于我想住在一个乡下的房子里,也就是去描述周边环境,而非直接去描述这个房子本身。
参考范例
As I mentioned before,I spent somehappy time with my grandparents in the countryside, where there were many friends and many interesting things to do likegoing swimmingin the river,going fishing by the lake,hanging outin the village with my friends.It is still vividin my mind that my grandparents told me stories in the yard, under the tree and the moonlight.
