又到了逼死雅思考生的时候了，雅思口语换题季again。本来口语就不是我们的强项，新季度又会增加好多新问题，之前的话题有一部分又白白准备了，想想都心塞。根据网友们的反馈，今天我们就来研究一下--Mirror镜子。听到这个问题，好多人想说，what?考官的脑洞也真是大开，这都能想到。可能一些爱漂亮的女生啊，或是型男啊喜欢照照镜子之外，很多人都会觉得这就是个摆设吧?我们先来看看都有什么问题。
1. How often do you look at yourself in the mirror every day?
2. Do you often buy mirrors?
3. Where do you put mirrors?
4. Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?
虽然问题都不难，但是越简单的问题答案也没什么话说。所以我们也要大开脑洞。
1. How often do you look at yourself in the mirror every day?
有些人是个注重形象或是爱打扮的人，每天几乎随时随地都会检查下自己的妆容，如果没有镜子任何可以反光的东西我都会凑上去看一下。
词汇补充：
必不可少的工具：an indispensable tool
注重形象的人 image-conscious person
花时间打扮自己 spend time in makeup, grooming and other efforts to look good.
范例1：
Well, actually I use it at any moment. I mean, I am an image-conscious person so that I spend lots of time on makeup, grooming and other efforts to look good. I can say that mirror has been an indispensable tool in my daily life. Even when I see anything that reflects light, I will go over and check up my appearance subconsciously.
虽然这种人听起来比较夸张但是绝对大有人在哦，那么另一种就是不太看，只有早上洗漱啊，穿衣服的时候才会看一下。
范例2：
As for me, en, not quite often. I have no habit of looking into the mirror. Actually, I am not an image-conscious person, I only do it when I am washing or trying on clothes.
2. Do you often buy mirrors?
刚刚我们就是分情况说的，现在也是一样，喜欢照镜子的朋友就可以这样说：
范例 1：
well, I am surely a mirror-lover, but I don't like buy it quite often. I should say that I always buy three once, one at school, one at home and one in my bag. I won’t buy new ones unless they are missing.
不喜欢照镜子的人就可以说：
范例2：
To be frank，I never buy one. I mean, there is no need for me to check myself at any moment. I just glance in the mirror on my way out the door and my mom is the one who bought it years ago.
3. Where do you put mirrors?
镜子都会放在哪里这个问题，如果是有很多镜子的人在第二题我们已经说过了，那对于那些不太用镜子的人呢，就可以解释一下，家里的镜子都会放在哪里。
范例：
En, I have no mirror at all, but there are two in my home. As for the cosmetic mirror, my family put it above on the wash basin. If I remember correctly, there is a full-length mirror in the living room for dressing.
4. Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?
不管喜不喜欢镜子，大家都应该知道镜子是有它的装饰性效果的。出了能够看到自己之外，还有很多用途。譬如说，如果室内昏暗，镜子可以增加一些光亮。如果家里不是特别大，装一面大镜子会显得家里大一些。
词汇补充：
照自己：view one’s reflection
改善屋子的亮度：improving a dim room
显得屋子很大： much larger than its actual square footage
范例：
Of course，besides the distinct merit of viewing one‘s reflection, mirrors serve some very important purposes. It is a good way to improve a dim room. Plus, a large mirror on wall can create the illusion that the room is much larger than its actual square footage.
