雅思口語(yǔ)話(huà)題：Sleeping

　　眾所周知，雅思口語(yǔ)一直是雅思考試中的重難點(diǎn)。而sleeping，是雅思口語(yǔ)眾多part 1題目中，很多學(xué)生抱怨，相對(duì)無(wú)話(huà)可說(shuō)的一個(gè)主題。其實(shí)如果同學(xué)們掌握基本的思路擴(kuò)展的方法，這個(gè)主題也就沒(méi)有那么無(wú)語(yǔ)了?？旄【幰幌聛?lái)復(fù)習(xí)一下吧。

　　1. How many hours do you sleep every day?

　　2. Is it necessary to sleep enough?

　　3. Is taking a nap important?

　　4. Do old people sleep a lot?

　　1. How many hours do you sleep every day?

　　這道題是簡(jiǎn)單的信息問(wèn)句, 同學(xué)們要給出對(duì)應(yīng)的信息內(nèi)容。但切記不要只說(shuō)I sleep for 8hours 就沒(méi)有了。后續(xù)要給出更細(xì)節(jié)的東西, 這里介紹給同學(xué)們一種方法：一切分情況討論。

　　可以借助頻率詞：usually，sometimes，once in a while，occasionally，或者是on weekdays ，on weekends，on holidays 等。

　　通常我每天睡幾個(gè)小時(shí)，幾點(diǎn)到幾點(diǎn)，還可以給出原因，對(duì)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)睡前完成作業(yè)，finish the homework and prepare for the next day。早晨起床花費(fèi)多久到學(xué)校commuting to school，這些信息都很不錯(cuò)。也可以再給出一個(gè)其他的情況，周六日或者假期睡多久，給出細(xì)節(jié)，這樣語(yǔ)言上會(huì)豐富很多。

　　Actually，on weekdays，I usually sleep for just 6hours at most. Because I have to stay awake, finish my homework and prepare for the next school day until midnight and I must get up around 6:30 to fresh up myself then commute to school for 45mins. Fortunately, on weekends or holidays, I can stay in bed as long as I wish, maybe for 10 hours or even more.

　　2. Is it necessary to sleep enough?

　　這是一道必要性或者重要性的問(wèn)題，對(duì)這一類(lèi)問(wèn)題一方面當(dāng)然可以說(shuō)明為什么有必要，對(duì)于本題就是have enough sleep 的好處：

　　比如 storage up energy養(yǎng)精蓄銳; get a clear mind for the next day第二天精神狀況更好等; 另一個(gè)也很容易描述的方面是：實(shí)際情況是怎樣。也就是大家都知道這個(gè)很必要也很有好處，但現(xiàn)實(shí)情況下大家更多的還是怎樣。 聯(lián)系現(xiàn)實(shí)情況永遠(yuǎn)都是一個(gè)很不錯(cuò)的擴(kuò)展方向。

　　Sure, definitely. It’s extremely important to sleep for at least 7hours a day. So that one can storage up energy and get a clear mind for the next day. However, the fact is nothing like this. Almost everyone I know stays up quite late either having entertaining activities, playing smart phones or doing their job or homework. Lacking of bedtime is already a serious social problem nowadays.

　　3. Is taking a nap important?

　　這個(gè)題目跟上一道題答題的思路可以很一致，但是如果是出現(xiàn)在同一天的口試當(dāng)中，同學(xué)們切記盡量不要去重復(fù)之前用過(guò)的語(yǔ)言，如果實(shí)在是想說(shuō)的內(nèi)容方向很一致那就反著說(shuō)，前面說(shuō)了睡眠充足會(huì)怎樣，這里可以說(shuō)如果不午休會(huì)怎樣，狀態(tài)不佳getting sleeping or dizzy這樣語(yǔ)言也不會(huì)很重復(fù)。當(dāng)然也可以用我們剛學(xué)的方法來(lái)結(jié)合現(xiàn)實(shí)。就你所知，大家是否午休，實(shí)際情況如何。

　　或者可以表達(dá)相反的觀點(diǎn)。雖然聽(tīng)說(shuō)午睡有好處，但實(shí)際上不午睡也可以保持很好的狀態(tài)stay quite vigorous and active，這樣也不為一個(gè)順暢的思路。 午休taking a short break in the midday.

　　Honestly，I’m not so sure about this，I have heard that taking a short break in the midday prevents us from getting sleeping or dizzy in the afternoon.But in reality， the majority of my classmates including myself stay quite vigorous and active without it.So it might just be a personal thing I guess.

　　4. Do old people sleep a lot?

　　在part1 中，很多話(huà)題都會(huì)把主語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)換為old people 或者kids 來(lái)進(jìn)行提問(wèn)。所以同學(xué)們還是要積累一下表示老年人的語(yǔ)言： the old， the aged，the senior，甚至也可以引入grandparents 這樣的表述。

　　回答本題目，這是一個(gè)詢(xún)問(wèn)現(xiàn)狀的yes/no問(wèn)題，切記在回答是否之后，自然要給出一系列細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)狀況，老年人睡眠其實(shí)很多，只是睡得早：go to bed so much earlier，大概幾點(diǎn)就入睡，但是他們起來(lái)的很早，要去晨練 doing some morning exercise in the park ，早市買(mǎi)菜do some grocery shopping， like vegetables and meat for the family 之類(lèi)的。順便可以提一下，我們中國(guó)的老人需要照顧全家人這一個(gè)很有意思的現(xiàn)象。

　　As far as I know， the old probably get more hours of sleep， maybe in average 8 hours. They wake up in the morning just as much earlier as they go to bed in the evening. Like my grandparents they start doing some morning exercise in the park with other aged friends at 6，and then go to do some grocery shopping for vegetables and meat for the family in the street market. It is a typical Chinese thing.
