Question:

1.What kinds of books did you like to read when you were young?

2.Do you still keep these books?

3.Have you ever given others books as gifts?

4.What’s your favorite kind of books?

高分示范答案：

1. Oh, it’s a tough question, or it should be more of what books I don’t read. I have a really open mind to books and what genre they are. Classic literature, novel, autobiography, historical story, even romance-flavoured fantasy like vampires and werewolves…whatever.

如果想让自己的雅思口语答案更像是真实的交流而不是背答案，可以学习一下该答案的回答方式。Oh, it’s a tough question, or it should be more of what books I don’t read.几乎就是一种反客为主的方法，一下子就将考试变成了交流。

2. No. not really. Our home has been relocated several times,so I believe only a couple of my teen books survive the turbulent times. A lot of books were simply gotten rid of, some in my knowledge, some out of. I know for sure the works of George Orwell were well kept because they are my all time favourites.

学习relocate，survive这两个动词的用法，还有get rid of和in my knowledge。

3. A book makes a fantastic gift, so a big fat yes. a book that I know the receiver will like and I can easily afford is often my top 1 choice of a gift.. I send a good English glossary book to a friend who is struggling for a better command of English vocabulary, and a great advanced English grammar book to a smart middle schooler I once tutored. Usually it serve as a parting gift and I would leave some little encouraging words on the tittle page.

学习动词make，afford，serve的使用

4. Honestly.... I would have to go with Harry Potter, the fantasy fiction. Harry Potter was my gateway series to the genre of fiction fantasy. It was a thrilling ride when I first read it. It introduced me to a world of such potential and so many possibilities, that it was only natural that I would read books that have perfected J.K. Rowling's style. It's only natural that I would come across and read books which are miles above the Harry Potter franchise.

go with, gateway, introduce, such potential and so many possibilities.

绝对地道语料：

1.Q:A book makes a fantastic gift. True or false?

书是超级棒的礼物，真的还是假的?

A:Both.

It’s true because books are personal - they show you care enough to pick something specific. They are a way of sharing something that moved you, or made you laugh. They communicate This really made me think of you.

It’s false, because depending on mitigating factors and circumstances, a book can absolutely tank, and prove to be a real stinker of a present, met with “You shouldn’t have. No….really.”

Of course, there are fairly surefire ways to give a book as a gift successfully. Almost anyone would find use and appreciation for a blank journal. If you want to wow them, a signed copy of a book you already know they love makes for a special surprise, and one that will possibly appreciate in monetary value, not just sentimental.

Having enjoyed and endured my fair share of successes and failures in the books-as-gifts department, I feel equipped to comment on common book-gifting errors, and hopefully prevent some lovely soul with the best intentions from having their gift fall flat.

Onward, brave booklovers.

2.Q: Is there such a thing as 'buying too many books'?

有买的书过多这回事吗?

以下的回答有着非常细腻的笔法，生动的细节，每一段都值得去背诵与模仿。可以说ever word speaks of a avid book-lover!

A:My heart fluttered when I read this question and to be honest, I don't think I'd be able to find any discourse with anyone in the world who would be able to give a very clear answer to that. Nonetheless I shall try to answer this to the best of my ability. There is a Japanese word - Tsuduku: which is the constant act of buying books, but never reading them. Specifically, it is letting books pile up in one's room so much that the owner never gets a chance to read all of them. This is done by the owners of the books, not by the booksellers. Would we call it hoarding? The answer depends upon the person looking at this issue but as a person who loves buying books, let me indulge in this.
