1.Animals

DoyouIikeanimals

一你喜歡所有動物，還是只喜歡某些動物，它們的共司特點是什么你喜歡它們的具體表現(xiàn)是

什么

DopeopIeinyourcountryIikeanimals

一答案是肯定的，多數(shù)人還是喜愛動物，對動物挺友好的，但也有少數(shù)人虐待動物的，著實

可惡！

WhatanimalsdopeopIeIiketokeepaspetsinyourcountry（Why）

一從最常見的開始說起，并說明為什么它們那么受歡迎。然后可以說說你所知道的不常見的

寵物，并舉例說明。

Isthereanychangerightnowcomparedwiththepast

一這個問題問的是過去人們養(yǎng)的寵物和現(xiàn)在又什么區(qū)別。其實，過去又有多少人養(yǎng)寵物呢

DopeopIeofdifferentagekeepdifferentanimalsaspets

一對不起，這個真不知道，但是你可以猜猜。

2.Yourhometown(Version1)

What5syourhometownfamousfor

一頭疼，我們那里沒什么有名的呀，那就實話實說唄；如果有，具體說一說就行，比如你們

那里的食物有名，然后準備一種食物就可以啦，但一定要能描述它。

WhatdoyouIikemostaboutyourhometown

一這個可以說氣候，環(huán)境，生活方式等(可以和北京進行比較，因為喜歡是相對的)

Whatdoyouthinkneedsimproving(needstobeimproved)inyourhometown

一可以從交通和城市環(huán)境兩方面來說。

Doyouknowanythingaboutthehistoryofyourhometown

Or:Do/didyouIearnaboutthehistoryofyourhometownatschooI

一這個真不知道，因為咱們學校不教地方史，如果想知道地方史的話，得問老一輩的人，或

者去圖書館查去。

3.Yourmajor

What5syourmajor=Whatsubjectdo/didyoustudyatuniversity

IsitpopuIarinyourcountryOr:HowpopuIarisitinyourcountry

一大家想想一個專業(yè)火不火的最直接體現(xiàn)是什么。

Whydidyouchoosethesubject/major

一不要老是我爸媽怎么著，還得說說你自己在選擇這個專業(yè)時的想法。

DoyouIikeit(Why)

一這個問題問的是，在你學習這個專業(yè)的過程中，你是否很享受，還是覺得上了賊船了

Doyouthinkit'simportanttochooseamajoryouIike

一當然，興趣是最好的老師。

Doyouthinkit'sgotagoodfuture

Or:DoyouthinkitcanheIpyoufindagoodjobinthefuture

Or:DoyouthinkitwiIIbeeasytofindajobwhenyougraduate

一考察你對將來時態(tài)的運用。好找工作+為什么不好找+為什么

參考：

4.Sport

WhatsportdidyouliketodoinyourchiIdhood

一還能想得起來不（考察過去時）

Doyoudoanysport

Or:WhatsportdoyouIike

一這個問題，還可能是接著第一個問題問你：DoyoustillIikethesamesport你要想想

你為什么喜歡這個運動

Inthefuture,whenyouhavechiIdren,whatsportwouldyouIikethemtoIearn/do

一考察將來時。我又沒孩子，我咋知道你可以想象嘛。其實關(guān)鍵不是要讓孩子做某項運動，

只要他們愛運動就好。

WhatdoyouthinkisthedifferencebetweenthesportsboysandgirIddo

一考察同類比較的能力。一定要用上連接詞whereas/whiIe.

參考：

-ActuaIIy,Icannotrememberc/ear/ywhatsportIdidinmychiIdhood,Icanonlyremember

5.TraveI

DoyouIiketraveIIing

一當然，順便說一下travelIing的好處。

WhatpIacesdoyouIiketraveIIingto

一旅行目的地大致可以分為：風光秀麗的地方（山，河，湖，海），歷史古跡，城市等。

DoyouprefertotraveIaloneorwithothers

一Travelwithothers好說些，因為可以從消除旅途寂寞，彼此照顧，分享快樂等方面說說

原因。如果你真喜歡一個人的話可以用用這個結(jié)構(gòu)（IfIhadthechoice,Tdrather…）.

然后說說理由，同時不要忘了承認一下travelalone的弊端。

DidyouIeavethecityIasthoiiday

一實話實說，也可以telIawhitelie.關(guān)鍵是要說清楚上個假期你都干嘛了。（建議大家準

備一個旅行的故事，在后面談假期的時候也可以說說）。

Wheredoyouwanttogonexttime

一就把你一直想去但都沒去得了的地方說說就行。

6.FiIms

WhatkindoffilmsdidyouIiketowatchinyourchiIdhood

一考察過去口寸。這和那個問你小口寸候喜歡什么運動是類似的問題。

Whataboutnow

Or:Doyou（still）Iikethesamekindoffilmsnow

一可能你仍然喜歡看小時候的電影，請你準備好解釋為什么?；蛘吣憔驼f我不怎么看了，轉(zhuǎn)

而說你現(xiàn)在喜歡看什么電影，并解釋為什么喜歡這類電影。

Doyouprefertowatchfilmsathomeorinthecinema

一考察同類比較能力，同時考察談論利弊的能力。

DoyouprefertogoaIoneorwithothers

一實話是說了。想想有沒有想一個人看電影的時候還有你想找人一起去看電影的時候，你最

先想到的是誰呢

WhydopeopIewatchfilms

一原因有很多了，但好像多數(shù)人看電影要么是為了消磨時間，要么就是為了放松。

DothereasonschangefromchiIdrentoadults

一應該是有所不同的。小孩看電影更多是因為好玩兒，而成人看電影的原因可能多一些，比

如，想和你心愛的人一起去看電影，浪漫一下，嘿嘿。

7.Hometown(Version2)

DoyouIiveinabigcityorasmaIIone

一一般像直轄市或這首府城市是大城市，還有一些中型城市，剩下的基本都是小城市了，或

小縣城了。

一考察你的時態(tài)。

DoyouIikeIivingthereWhy

一請大家用上這個結(jié)構(gòu)：WhatIlovemostaboutthecityisdefinitelythe…

8.Numbers

DonumbershaveanyspeciaImeaninginyourculture

一當然了，比如，6,8,9,2,250,520

WhatnumbersdopeopleinyourcountrygeneraIlyprefer

一這個因人而已了，不過多數(shù)人似乎都喜歡6或8,因為在漢語中，6表示順利，8表示發(fā)財。

所以，一個像139,888,888,888的電話號碼是非常貴的。

Whatnumbersdoyouthinkyoushouldremember

一我覺得有很多號碼都應該記在腦子里，比如手機號碼，身份證號碼，銀行賬戶密碼，還有

重要人物的生日等。

WhatnumberdoyouIike

Or:What1syourIuckynumber

一如果有，說說原因，如果沒有，說說你身邊的人。

9.Clothes

Whatkind/styIeofcIothesdoyouIike

一一般情況下，多數(shù)人都喜歡穿的休閑放松些，當然，前提是這衣服得適合自己了，這主要

是顏色的搭配問題了。

WheredoyouIiketobuycIothes

一商場，服裝店，網(wǎng)絡等，別忘了發(fā)表一下你的個人感受。用上：WhatIIikemostabout

e-shoppingis…或者，IthinkthebestthingofsmaIIcIothesshopsis???等結(jié)構(gòu)

HaveyouboughtanycIothesthatyoudon'tIike

一有的話，就說說時間，地點，為什么買的，后來又怎么發(fā)現(xiàn)不喜歡了的；如果沒有的話，

說說原因，或者說說你知道的一個經(jīng)常買完東西就后悔的人。

DoyouthinkyouwiIIIikeothercIotheswhenyouaregettingold
