解析：题目问的是休假一天你将怎么度过。这道题已经不是新题了，在2012-2013年的时候就考过一样的题目。但是这个题目一直被认为是相对难答的题目之一。这道题的问法有玄机，问的是如果你有一天你休假，你计划将怎么度过。这显然是一个对将来的虚拟，大家在回答这道题的时候就要格外小心语态的问题，重要的事情再强调一遍，问题中的语态和时态对应的就应该是我们回答的时候的语态和时态!所以对于这个题，我们通常会用到.Iwouldliketo....;IguessIprobablywould;或者干脆就Iplanto都可以。

那么对于这个topic本身，我们可以回答的内容相对是比较广泛的，怎么度过一天，你可以说有一个非常短的旅行shorttrip;可以说跟朋友聚会friend-gathering,Iwouldliketohangoutandhaveablastwithfriends;可以说跟家人在一起享受天伦之乐，enjoyqualitytimewithfamily;可以说去做一些平时想做但是没时间做的休闲娱乐活动，爱好之类的，Iwouldliketolieinthesofa,readinganovelwithacupofcoffeeinmyhand,whichIguessmightbethebestchoiceforme.

那么接下来2个小题，whotobewithandwheretogo就比较简单啦，根据你选的想做的是做人物和地点的设定就OK了，friends/besties/family;最后一题，howwouldyouliketofeel,依然是对将来的虚拟，让大家设想你这样度过一天之后的感受，大家不妨可以跟常规题目的最后一题做一个借鉴，通常情况下常规的题目最后一问问的是andexplainwhyyouenjoyit，针对今天的这题目的最后一问，我们也可以说理由嘛，Iassumethatwouldbeperfectformetospendmydayoff,evenifjustforoneday,inthatway,becausewearenowsopreoccupiedbyotherchoresatworkandathome.IfIcouldspendadaylikethatwithpeoplewhomIcareaboutthatwouldbereallypreciousandmeaningful.

Tip：如果大家属于比较懒的那一型，不喜欢重新构架story-telling的部分，大家不妨可以合并相似话题，例如最近常考的话题里面有longwalk，ajourneybycar,aneducationaltrip,ahappyfamilyevent等等都可以作为这个题目的素材，大家不妨把之前已经准备过的如上题目进行一个改写，注意时态的使用就OK了。

雅思口语Photography话题

1.Doyouliketakingphotos/pictures?

听到这个题目很多同学的常规思路是喜欢拍照，因为有意思【Ilovetakingphotosbecauseitisveryinteresting】。这种答法非常普便，最大的缺点就是太笼统，细节太少，不符合雅思口语评分标准中speakatfulllength的内在要求。

那么有没有比较有意思，新颖，丰富的答案呢?下面我们通过语料分析来拓展一下思路。

这个问题所能展开的语料点有两个：

一是like这个单词，我们可以有很多同义替换的词汇，比如love,enjoy,becrazyabout,befondof等等。

第二语料点就是takingphotos/pictures,我们可以想一想是给人照相，还是给风景照相，这样我们在设计答语时，就会有两个可发散的方向。或者两者都涉及到以使答更加丰富。关于takingphotos/pictures，我们还可以用特殊疑问词去展开叙述，比如what，用什么拍照，相机还是手机，where喜欢在哪拍照，山里还是海边，还有howoften多久拍一次。

对于这道题目而言，很多同学会有这样一个疑惑，Doyouliketakingphotos是给自己拍照还是给别人拍照。这里我们可以引入一个短语takephotoof表示给拍照。所以为了保险一点，我们理解为给别人或其他东西拍照是绝对不会产生误解的。当然如想表达给自己拍照可以说takephotoofmyself.此题所考查的语法点并不是很难，主要是likedoingsomething这样一个固定搭配。同时有相同语法规则的词还有enjoydoingsomething,大家在使用时注意这一点即可。

范例：Oh,yes,takingphotosismyfavoriteactivitytohavefun.EverytimewhenItravelwithfriendsorfamilypeopletosomeplacessuchastouristattractionsorparks,Imsuretotakemycameratotakepicturesofsceneries,peopleandevenmyself.Iwillsaveandcopythesepicturestomycomputer.ThenIsometimesusephotoshoptoprocessthepicturestomakethemlookmorebeautiful.Ofcourse,likealotofyoungpeople,Ialsousesmartmobilephonetohavephotosquiteoften.ThemostimportantreasonwhyIenjoydoingthisactivityisthatphotosalwaysremindmeofthewonderfulpastlife.Iloveit.

2.Wouldyouliketotakephotosofothersorbephotographed?

这是一个非常经典的选择性的问答题，面对这样的题目，大部分同学还是可以很快做出选择的，例如很多人会说:Iwouldliketotakephotosofothers.但是后续思路的拓展难倒了很多人，比如为什么喜欢这样的做法。理由的补充是雅思口语考试中最重要的细节之一。所以这个题目的思路的新颖性需要体现在reason这个点上。

我们来进行一下语料分析。首先是Wouldyoulike的替换，除了Iwouldlike这个短语之外，我们还可以用Iwouldprefertodo,Ihavemypreferencefordoing,甚至Iwantto,Iloveto都是不错的，也可以用一些对比信号比较强烈的词组，例如这样的开头句，Comparedwithbeingphotographed,Iwouldprefertotakephotosofothers.

那么接下来我们该如何展开reason呢?最好的办法，就是结合自己的个人情况：

有的同学说自己不上相，我们可以说他不够photogenic,如果这个单词有难度，就可以说Idontlookbeautiful/cool/handsomeinphoto.所以不太喜欢被别人拍照。

与之相反有的同学比较喜欢欣赏自己的美，就可以说，Ifeelreallyconfidentwhenseeingbeautifulmeinphotos.甚至可以自嘲说MaybeIhavenarcissism,有点自恋。所以这样的同学可以选择说喜欢被照相。这里我们谈了较多被拍照的思路，

除此之外我们也可以就takephotosofothers展开分析，photography摄影是一个相对专业一点的爱好，想要拍好照片需要一定的技术，所以我们可以考虑一下自己的特长和爱好，从而确定怎么去答题。假如我的摄影技术很差，就可以说TakingphotosofothersisahardjobformeandmanyofmyfriendssaythatIoftenmakethemlookweirdinphotos,soIseldomtakephotosofothers.总之，这个题目思路和语料的展开是非常灵活的，因为题目给我们提供了两个事件：拍和被拍。所以对比是主题。

关于素材相信考生中大多数人都没有过工作挣钱的经历，但考场上你不能任性地告诉考官我没有过，我要换题。那一刻考官给你什么题就是什么题了。有句话叫做没吃过猪肉，还没见过猪跑吗?大家仔细想想作为学生，我们的周围能接触哪些工作呢?然后我们就把这些个工作嫁接到我们自己身上就好啦，这样的话你也不用硬编故事。比如爸妈常常给我们请家教【tutor】，对于家教做什么我们是清楚的。同样的如果你是学艺术的，你会很熟悉钢琴老师这个职业。如果你跑过健身房【gym】，你应该会知道好多健身教练【fitnessinstructor】或者私教【personaltrainer】都是在校学生。

OK，如果你说我没这些才华和爱好，不了解，那超市和快餐店是常常去的吧，收银员【cashier】和服务生【waiter/waitress】我们都接触过，我们也常常去电影院【cinema/movietheater】，那售票员【ticketseller】我们都见过的。所以大家要留心生活，从自己的经历里找到合适的素材。而因为我是一个购物狂【shopaholic】,所以我会以在商场最常见的导购【shopassistant】为例子，我本人也是没有做过这一类的工作。
