雅思口语part1:friend

　　同学们都知道在雅思口语Part1中最常考察的就是一些personal questions，例如个人喜好或者是习惯。如果雅思口语话题中的问题是生活中能经常接触到的比如接下来会讲到的friends，那在总结素材时就会有很多内容可以补充，但如果只是平铺直叙的回答岂不是浪费了这个可以“浪”一下的机会来让自己提分。如何能将平淡的语言化腐朽为神奇呢，同学们除了可以提高单词使用的灵活度外，还可以在回答的过程中多穿插一些复杂句式。当然最重要的还是要注意时态的变化。

　　How often do you go out with friends? [Why/Why not?]

　　Well, I have to say I’m quite an outgoing person and I spend a lot of time hanging out with my friends. I guess I will go out with friends every week if both of us have time for such leisure. Since we are all busy with our study and work every day, it is quite important for us to spare some time for pure enjoyment without worrying about pressure from colleagues, teachers and other kinds of laborious stuff. And a gathering on weekends is quite an opportunity to escape from them and enjoy ourselves.

　　Tell me about your best friend at school.

　　如果自己身份已经不是学生，注意时态应该为过去。

　　My best friend at school is one of my roommates, with whom I spent quite a happy 4-year campus life. He was a man who strictly followed his routine in terms of daily schedule for entertainment and study, about which I have to admit that I am kind of a spoiled kid obeying no rules. I should definitely learn to make plans for my life from him. Also, he is also a man with traits that you can never find from a dull clockwork person. The other two roommates and I myself are always accompanied by his stories about all kinds of things with wit and humor into sleep. Without him, I can not have such a fulfilling school life.

　　How friendly are you with your neighbors? [Why/Why not?]

　　To be honest, I do not know too much about my neighbors as we seldom meet each other, for which getting along is beyond imagination. The current design of Chinese neighborhood separate families into a kind of cells. They are all isolated from the community as a whole. The doors just keep everybody out of the territory of folks. Therefore I cannot say I am quite familiar with my neighbors.

　　Which is more important to you, friends or family? [Why?]

　　I believe these two all mean a lot to a person’s life and it is extremely hard to weigh one against another. We are bonded with our family by blood since the very beginning of our life and they accompany us through all hardships and gaiety. As for friends, we make acquaintances with them as we grow older and they are the people we spend most of the time outside our home. Unlike our family, they could share insights with us from a quite different perspective, which can be enlightening in many cases.

　　Part1的答案长度一般在3-5句话之间，但在准备素材的时候我们尽量要让答案丰满起来，才能保证在真正考试的时候即使紧张忘记一些细节也能保证有足够的内容来回答。
