雅思口语考试中，建筑描述一直是一个难点，但是在考试中却时有出现，如a library, a hotel, a museum, a restaurant, a concert hall, a historical building, a modern building等。建筑描述中经常会涉及到一些设施、装潢等较为专业的、但在平时的学习中不太被涉及到的词汇。
餐馆 cuisine, menu, decoration, architectural style, entertainment, staff, service等。
architectural style了，我们可以多积累些相关的词汇，比如glass roof, open-air bar on the rooftop terrace和gothic wall等。
museum类型，其中的exhibits, 如visual art, painting, illustration, sculpture, collection of drawings and old master prints, document, artifact, art,
archaeological object。还可以描述些博物馆经常举办的activities。
酒店 设施：underground parking, lobby, lobby bar, outdoor heated pool,
exercise room outdoor yard, well-lit desk, hair dryer, coffeemaker, individual climate control, high speed internet access, direct TV, in-room movie等。
合适的句型也是非常重要的 描述library的时候，坐落地点，最常用的当然是be located in或be situated in。例如，我们可以说：The library is located at the southern part of Shanghai. 此外，建筑的风格描述可以选择句型：…is a typical classical architecture in a European/western/eastern style。图书馆中的收藏当然是句型：The library is complete when it comes to…来描述，例如The library is complete when it comes to references， be it newspapers, books, thesis from former students, etc.
地点和建筑类考题的覆盖面是非常之广的，几乎涵盖了所有人们生活之中最常去的地方。其中，小区和住房的描述几乎是每次必考的话题。在描述小区时，我们首先也会描述坐落地点，如city center, urban area, downtown, rural area, outskirts, suburbs, village, town等。此外，还会描述小区的设施，如dry cleaner’s, gym, car park, swimming pool等。一般还会有针对交通的问题，会用到的词有bus station, subway station, railway station, elevated ring road, maglev, highway等。在小区描述之后，通常是对自己的住房的描述，而经常涉及的考题是谈论house和apartment之间的区别
A house is usually on the ground floor, and has an upstairs and a downstairs. In a house there is normally a kitchen dining room and living room downstairs, whilst the bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs.
In an apartment, which is usually in a block so raised above ground level, all of the rooms of the house are on the same floor.
Houses often come with garages, whereas apartments can usually only come with a parking space.
Houses often have gardens out the front and out the back.
此外，还会涉及到房屋的设施，如study room, kitchen, dining room, living room, bookshelf, wardrobe, night table, bunk bed, dresser, armchair, shower booth和rug。
房屋的描述还不止于此，有时候，考官会问我们关于如何改进房子的问题，这时候，我们可以选些有新意的点来描述，如：add on a downstairs extension to create a spacious kitchen diner, add a perfect party room, add an all-in-one party room, add a glass extension, move outwards and build an extension, create bigger bedrooms, add bathrooms, replace old appliances with new good-
quality appliances, give your kitchen that just renovated feel, but at a fraction of the cost等。
在这类考题中，学生普遍反应最难的一个应该是属于对于swimming pool的描述。很多学生都不知道该从何处着手，也不知道一个简简单单的swimming pool有什么好描述的。其实如果我们描述角度灵活的话，可以将其描述的相当生动，比如，我们可以讲些泳池中的摆设或玩具，如：They have a variety of pool accessories there for kids to use and play with. 泳池的受欢迎程度：People flock to local lakes and make a day of it. 人们去泳池的目的：They swim laps for exercise instead of relaxing or lounging. 泳池的其它配套设施：This location also has a sauna available. The
showers are clean. …has a sauna and a big L-shaped pool. 泳池的收费：Normal rates are 10RMB for an hour. The entrance fee is… One can also purchase monthly cards or special ones for families. 泳池的开放时间：Most of the year, you can swim both in the daytime and in the evening. 泳池的大小It is an Olympic size pool. 等。
此外，还有些考题并没有指定学生去描述一个特定的建筑，而是要求学生去描述一种风格的建筑，比如：describe a modern building或describe a traditional building。在描述的过程中，考生要掌握一些平时不太能接触到的词汇和短语，比如在描述现代建筑时，我们可以积累些这样的词汇：marble stairs, function rooms, arc roof, marble pillars, cultural heritages, 而描述传统建筑物的难度则更大，我们需要知道很多日常生活中极少碰到的内容，如：pavilion, terrace, pagoda, temple, sweeping roof, yellow roofs and purple walls等。
总之，地点建筑类描述涉及的范围相当之广，且考题的出现频率也很高。范围从我们所熟悉的住房和小区，一直到较为学术的现代和古典建筑，考生们一定要在平时积累好相关词汇和句型，这样才能在考场中发挥自如，取得理想的成绩。
关于travelling的话题向来是雅思口语考试的重头戏，面对着层出不穷的口语新题，travelling的话题始终保持着经久不衰的地位，在雅思考试中占据着举足轻重的地位。常见的考题有如下一些：1. Do you often travel (go travelling)? 2. Do you like travelling? 3. Why do you travel? (purposes) 4. What are some places that you have traveled to? 5. What was the last place you traveled to? 6. What was the most interesting place you have traveled to? 7. How often do you return to your hometown? (If not living at home now) 8. Which city (or place) that you have been to did you like the most? (Why?) 9. What places in China are (or, would be) attractive for foreigners to travel to?
首先总结出travelling话题高频回答词汇：针对where do you like to go for a travel?梦中旅游地点这类问题回答的时候，答题总结出来一共有三种地方一个是自然风景区，一个是历史古迹，一个是繁华的大都市，这三类地方。自然风景区：natural landscape, natural spot, natural scenery, tourist attraction, vocational spot…;历史古迹：historical relics, historical site, historical interest…;大都市：metropolis, modern city…
下面就来描述一下这三种地方的详细说法：picturesque views风景如画，landscape of lakes and hills湖光山色，enclosed/surrounded by lakes on one side and waters on the other依山傍水,traditional/ancient architecture历史建筑物，historical architectural complex 历史建筑群，historical and cultural heritage 历史文化遗产, rows of towering skyscraper成排高的摩天大楼，high-rise building高耸大楼，leisure facility休闲设施
举个例子来说，当问及where do you want to go?以自然风景区，历史遗迹以及大都市三个地点作为我们回答的模板, I like the natural landscape with picturesque views. I am fascinated with the historical relics, where offers historical and cultural heritage and historical architectural complex. I am crazy about metropolis, where is famous for high-rise buildings and leisure facility and a variety of entertainment.
下面我们就来仔细介绍一下，ways of travelling 的表达，现在很多题目会问题关于旅游话题更精细的内容，正如我们刚刚提到的旅游方式的介绍，大体来说旅游方式分为三种，package travel最常规的表达团游，solo travel独自旅游，DIY travel 自助游。这三种旅游方式的说法要学会掌握。

100.com/ 专有名词的表达。而不管是选择中国的还是国外的历史建筑，鉴于平日里谈论得极少，考试前没有足够
的准备就很难开口。
备考策略
：
考前可以结合其它描述地点或建筑的话题一起准备：Describe a museum/an old building/your
favorite building/an important traditional building等，例如北京故宫里的建筑，即是古老而传统的 建筑，又是很重要的博物馆，也可以是自己最喜欢的建筑。甚至还可以把它放到Describe the best
tourist attraction in China，或者可以描述里面的an interesting
exhibition，所以只要提前做好充足的功课，遇到其它问题也都可以迎刃而解
old buildings and history Why do some old buildings get demolished?
Well I guess one reason would be that they might not be safe to live in anymore, for example if the walls start cracking. And I suppose another reason why a lot of old
buildings get knocked down is because the government’s decided that it would be better to put up a new building in its place, which would be especially the case if it’s occupying a prime piece of real estate in the city centre, for example.
Do you think tourists prefer to see old buildings or new buildings?
Without a doubt, I’d say tourists definitely prefer to see old buildings, the main reason being that old buildings have a lot more history and culture attached to them. So when you visit them, they kind of give you a glimpse into the history of a place, as well as the local lifestyle, which you don’t really get from looking at a new building.
Do you think historic buildings should be preserved?
Yeah, most definitely, because I mean, there’s a lot of culture which is embedded in historical buildings, and if they weren’t preserved, then a lot of culture would be lost, which would be a terrible shame. So that’s one thing, and as well as this, I think it’s also true to say that if it wasn’t for historical buildings, then most cities would look pretty much the same. And if you think about all the famous landmarks around the world, like Big Ben in London and the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, for example, a lot of them are historic buildings, so they actually play a very strong role in giving a city its identity.
Do you think the style of a building's design is important?
Yeah, I’d say it is, because essentially the style should accord with the purpose of the building. So if you take an office building, for example, then the style should be as
practical as possible, which is why most of them tend to be a rectangular shape. And as for residential buildings, I guess the style affects a lot of things, like living space and the general level of comfort. So for me, I’d say the architectural design of a building is
absolutely crucial, and I suppose that’s probably why architects get paid as much as they do!
Do young people feel that history is very important?
Probably not, no, because I think a lot of young people nowadays don’t really feel that history has a direct impact on their own lives, which I guess is reflected in the fact that not many students choose History as their major at university, at least compared to other subjects like Accounting or Finance for example. So I think this is a good indicator that many young people don’t see history as being that important to them.
What is the value of learning about history?
Well I’d say there’s a lot of value in learning it, and one of the main reasons would be that history quite often repeats itself, so if we’ve learnt history well, we should be able to avoid making the same mistakes as we did in the past. And as well as this, I guess another important aspect is that history plays a big part in helping us understand how things
came to being. So for example, through learning history, we get to understand things like why we speak the language we do, and how our country developed the way it did. And in a way, I think this kind of makes us better appreciate everything we have around us, instead of just taking it for granted.
Do you think old buildings play an important role in preserving history?
Yeah, I’d say they do, without a doubt, because if you think about it, old buildings are a visual reminder of our past, so without them, it would be all too easy to forget about the
history of a place, which would be a great pity. Of course there are other things that also preserve history, like antiques for example, but most of time they’re hidden away
somewhere or kept in a museum, so I think they play a far smaller role than old buildings, which are in full view of everyone to see, thereby serving as a greater reminder of our history. So yeah, that’s basically what I reckon.
