雅思口语中shoes本身的难度不大,跟上个季度的bags很像,会问一些喜好类问题或是选择问题。所以我们要对于鞋子的种类,材质的表达方式有所了解,然后再具体问题具体分析。我们先来过一遍相关的问题哈~
1. Do you like shopping for shoes?
2. How often do you buy shoes?
这两道题都是在说你喜不喜欢鞋子,对于女生来说可能什么样的鞋子都要备一双,例如运动鞋sneakers,高跟鞋high heals,凉鞋 sandals ;男生可能一双运动鞋就可以走天下了。
女生版:
Absolutely sure, shoes have the same magic power as bags which can always attract women, in my eyes, every moment of resistance to temptation is so hard for us. Once I meet shoes I like I would buy it if the price is reasonable.
男生版:
Actually, I can’t really say I fancy it unless I am in the demand for shoes. Unlike girls, they are more crazy about such things, you know, like clothes, shoes and bags. Two or three pairs of shoes are more than enough for men, I suppose.
3. What kind of shoes you do usually buy?
4. Do you prefer comfortable shoes, or good looking shoes?
5. What’s your favorite type of shoes?
6. Do you know anyone who likes to buy a lot of shoes?
鞋子的类型可以很细分,什么高跟鞋,运动鞋,平低鞋,我们也可以说喜欢舒适一点的,喜欢显高一点的,因为本身比较矮,甚至可是说不在什么材质颜色,只要是流行当季的就好,舒适什么完全不考虑。
词汇补充:
style: simple and all-match / trendy / stylish / in / epidemic
textures: leather / canvas
colors: vibrant / plain / lily-white
type: flats / platform(有防水台的鞋) / sandal / trainers / loafer(乐福鞋)/ dress shoes (皮鞋)
feel: comfortable / casual / badly fitting /rub painfully / flatter my legs / exaggerate my height
范文一:
As for me, neither comfort nor texture is the matter that I might consider. I am the person who takes shoes as an accessory to my outfits, so the style of them is the most crucial. Those simple and all-match shoes are always my choices.
范文二:
Compared with stylish ones, I would like to buy a pair of shoes which are more casual, I mean, I am not obsessed with shoes. What’s worse, most of attractive shoes are bad fitting, I don’t want to be rubbed painfully and get blisters during the walk.
7. Do you have a pair of shoes that you especially like?
特别喜欢的一双鞋,这个跟我们刚刚分析的喜欢类型的答案很像。你只要描述一双最喜欢的就好,什么时候买的,什么材质,穿起来什么感觉就好。哪怕这双鞋并不舒服,但是我就是喜欢啊。
8. Have you ever bought shoes online?
本题是想问你有没有网购的经历,第一个考点就是要注意时态!其次买过就要阐述details,如果没有那么就要解释原因啦。大家不想网购的原因有这么几种:
1. 觉得有风险,会泄露我的银行卡,身份证等等个人信息,不会在网上东西,更别提鞋了。
Though online shopping / E-commerce is a prevailing=popular way to consume, to my knowledge, it still has risks. I am really afraid of my information safety, so shopping online is not my thing.
2. 网上的东西虽然便宜但是无法试穿,鞋子吗还是要试一试的。
The incomparable merit of shopping online is the low price and it is the main reason why people shop there. But it still has drawbacks, I couldn’t try on for a pair of fitting shoes.
3. 万一质量不好,虽然可以7天无理由退货但是太麻烦了,还要等,实体店比较方便放心。
I know I have the right to return poor-quality shoes in certain days without reasons, but it’s troublesome to wait my money back.
