雅思口语 · 第一课（谢欣怡）

Well, I'm a high school / university student at the moment. I'm studying at [学校名], and my major is [专业]. I'm in my second / third year.

Well, I really enjoy the atmosphere at my school. Everyone is friendly and supportive, and I've made a lot of close friends here. Initially when I first enrolled, I knew nobody, but we share the same interests — we study together, hang out after class, and gradually we became good friends.
理由：make friends

To be honest, I wish the canteen food could be improved. The choices are quite limited and the taste is just average. If they could add more variety, it would make our lunch break much more enjoyable.
语篇标记词：To be honest（否定用）

Well, I'm really into English / History. It's not just about passing exams — this subject really broadens my horizons. Before I started learning it, I knew little about different cultures / historical events. But now I can see things from totally different perspectives, which is fascinating.
理由：broaden horizon 替换 like → be really into

Well, my daily routine is pretty structured. I usually wake up at around 7, have a quick breakfast, and start classes at 8. After school, I normally go to the library or study room — it's much more time efficient to study there because I won't get distracted. Whereas if I stayed home, I'd probably end up scrolling on my phone for hours.
理由：save time（虚拟语气）

Well, I live in a flat / apartment with my family. It's on the [number]th floor of a residential building. It's not very spacious, but it's cozy and comfortable. There are three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen.

Well, I really like the view from my room. I can see a park / the city skyline from my window, and it's so refreshing. Whenever I feel stressed out from studying, I just sit by the window and look outside, and I can totally relax. It's a real stress reliever for me.
理由：relax

Frankly speaking, I would. My current place is a bit far from the city center, and it takes me nearly an hour to get to school every day. If I moved closer to school, it would only take me 15 minutes, which would be much more time efficient.
理由：save time（虚拟语气）

Well, I dream of having a spacious apartment in the city center, with a big balcony. I'd love to grow some plants and have a small reading corner by the window. It would be my little sanctuary where I can unwind after a long day. Having that kind of space would make a huge difference to my quality of life.
理由：relax 虚拟：I dream of / would

Well, my city has a typical subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid, with temperatures reaching 35 degrees or more. Winters are cold but not freezing, and spring and autumn are really pleasant and mild.

Well, I don't have a strong preference for seasons — they all feel similar to me. But if I have to choose, I'd say autumn, because the temperature is moderate — not too hot nor too cold. I often take a walk after school in autumn, and it's a real stress reliever for me.
理由：relax 虚拟：if I have to choose

According to my preference, I lean toward cold weather. Because when it's cold, I can stay in and do indoor activities with my friends, like playing board games or watching movies. It's a great way to bond with them. On the other hand, hot weather makes me feel sluggish and uncomfortable.
理由：make friends 对比型

Well, this depends. When I'm staying indoors and want a cozy atmosphere, I actually love rainy days — the sound of rain is so calming and soothing, perfect for reading or studying. But if I have outdoor plans or need to go out, I definitely prefer sunny days, since rain makes everything messy and inconvenient.

Well, I'm a big fan of various kinds of food, one in particular is Chinese stir-fried dishes. They are not only delicious but also quite nutritious. My mom cooks them at home almost every day, and I never get tired of them.

From my perspective, I lean toward eating at home, because it's much more money efficient. It only costs me about 20 yuan to cook a meal at home, whereas it would have cost at least 60 if I ate out at a restaurant. On top of that, home-cooked food is healthier.
理由：save money（虚拟语气）

Well, I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I do enjoy simple cooking. It's actually quite therapeutic — chopping vegetables, stirring, seasoning... I can totally forget about the worries of the day. When I pull off a decent dish, the sense of accomplishment is huge. Plus, it's a great life skill — eating out all the time is so money consuming.
relax save money

To be frank, I'm not really into bitter melon / mushrooms / durian. I've tried it a few times, but the taste is just unpleasant to me. Generally speaking, I'm quite adventurous with food, but there are always one or two things that just don't click.
否定题：To be frank + not really into

Well, in my free time, I normally do things that help me unwind. One in particular is watching films. I watch movies on a weekly basis — usually on Friday nights. It's a real stress reliever because I can just sit back and enjoy and forget all the study stress.
理由：relax on a ___ly basis

Well, this depends. If I'm feeling energetic, I would choose outdoor activities like playing badminton with friends, because it's a good way to bond with them. On the other hand, if I'm tired after a long day, I'd rather stay indoors and read a book, since it helps me relax and recharge.
it depends 理由：make friends

Oh, absolutely. When I was younger, I had loads of free time — I'd play outside with friends every day, ride bikes, just mess around. But nowadays, my schedule is packed with studying, and I barely have time for hobbies. Free time has become almost a luxury. Looking ahead, I hope I can strike a better balance.
it depends L4 时间轴向式

Well, this depends on my mood. If I've been socializing all day, I'd prefer some alone time — just read a book or listen to music, which helps me recharge my mental battery. But if I've been studying alone for hours, I'd much rather hang out with friends, because it's great to catch up and share a laugh. It really varies from day to day.
