2019年5-8月雅思口語part2話題：歷史建築

Describe a historical building you have been to

You should say:

Where it is

What it looks like

What it is used for now

What you learned there

And how you felt about this historical building

關於歷史建築這個話題，考生剛開始會覺得能夠準備的內容太少，不過關於歷史建築，除了旅遊景點，名人故居，還有很多歷史建築是你生活中出現的，比如有着200年曆史的小學，古老的辦公大樓。

這裏需要注意時態問題，因爲是去過，時態上注意是過去時。另外，歷史建築不能是一個地點，而是建築物本身。

介紹建築物時，如果內容單調怎麼辦?可以多準備一些套路官話，比如：這裏是我們當地著名的地標建築哦，出了火車站就看到了，或者本身火車站就是個著名的景點。又比如：這個建築已經有_X年曆史了，我爸爸的爸爸的爸爸小時候就在這裏玩過。又比如最後說一句：這座古老的建築和我所生活的城市綁定在一起，共同經歷這歲月的洗禮，希望他能陪着我的下一代共同成長。

相關小貼士：作爲口語話題還是要儘量隨意點，不要出現建築物的具體身高，比如6層樓高就可以了，否則很容易考官覺得你是提前做好準備的。不要出現：這個建築始建於1987年……你可以說大約20世紀末這樣，畢竟口語話題不是背出來的。

此外關於建築類的相關詞彙和表達，要自己準備好，不建議用生僻的詞彙，要儘量貼合自己的水平的詞彙，保證詞彙豐富度即可。比如建築風格，建築材料，建築外牆設計等等。

地理位置：這座建築建於……，在_X附近，周圍有……

建築風格與材料：這是早期_風格的建築，很有當地特色，外牆_，內部是_結構

來自小站雅思君的雅思口語part2話題思路拓展：說到這個話題，讓我想到我的小學，一個具有70年曆史的小學，這個小學很小，在我們鎮的市中心。學校的教學樓一共有6層，每層5個教室，2間辦公室，2間廁所，建築外牆是古老的紅磚牆，朝南的大陽臺，因爲建築物很古老，所以我們的夏天是沒有空調的，當然也沒有電梯，所以高年級的學生需要每天爬樓，經常可以看到遲到的學生氣喘吁吁地爬樓。

據說這座教學樓原本是一個廢棄的醫院，後來小鎮上的人多了，便將這裏改成了小學，附近的居民都把孩子送到這裏上學。因爲隔音不好，有時候樓上的腳步聲會傳到樓下，樓下的講課聲在樓上也能聽到。

最近一次去小學參觀還是10年前，這裏畢業了一批又一批的學生，他們有的離開了這裏，有的留在這裏做老師，我們曾在這裏歡笑，在這裏大聲朗讀，這裏的每一段時光都讓人懷念。

雅思口語part2範文

The central Bank building is the one that really impressed me. I was then almost 17 years old when I first this building and I still remember that I became amazed watching and wondering about it.

10-15 stories building are quite common in our town but the 75 storied central bank building is really different. Not only it is higher than most other buildings but it also possesses an eye-catchy architectural design which is bound to absorb any one’s attention. From far it will only give you the impression of a futuristic mega structure but if you observe the building from nearby, you will see the real beauty of it.

It looks like every inch of it has been drawn before building it. This building is a fine piece of architecture that prominently announces its presence. When I looked at the top of this building I got the impression that it is endless and has made its way over the sky. The long round clock in from of this building ticks twice to let the city dwellers know its presence.

This central bank building is situated near the National Museum of the city. From a far away, it looks like a pathway to the sky and from nearby it seems like a massive yet beautifully designed architectural building.

Is it important to conserve old buildings? Why?

A. The old buildings are the representatives of the history. They tell the past stories of thousand years and let us know about different issues like how they lived, how their living styles were, what they did, what sort of construction style they had and more other necessary information. If the historical buildings are not preserved, people will be unable to learn about their pasts. It is important to know about the origin, the forefathers and the past in order to live with dignity. If the important buildings are not preserved, the national history will go under oblivion. Moreover, the young generation of a country will be unaware of its history and the greatness of the nation. Usually, the old buildings contain the relics and people develop their idea over their past which is another cause for preserving the old establishments.

Is the history useful for the coming generations? Why?

A. History is always useful. It teaches us different important lessons and most of the people who have succeeded in life have taken their learning from the history. So, history is also useful for the coming generations. It may happen that they are in some sort of trouble and if they look back in history, they will find that there were some other people who also had the same troubles and got rid in any specific way. Thus, history helps them to get out of any troublesome situation. Moreover, if they are in any critical situations, they could take help of history, but it should be remembered that history does always not refer the events old about 100 years.

What is the difference between houses built in the past and now?

The basic difference between the house of past and current is space. Earlier, the houses were made more spacious and covered large spaces to be built. But with the increasing population, the houses are made in small space and the number of houses is on the increase. Moreover, the past houses were designed after different distinctive styles. There were ample spaces for recreation and entertainment for the residents. But in the current days, apartments are being made with lower space and even at times they do not have proper walking space in the staircase. Earlier, the houses covered horizontal space but now they are vertical.

What are the differences in sizes of houses? Why?

The house sizes are different for various reasons and the top most cause is the increased population around the world. To meet the demand of the growing population, the house sizes are becoming small. Currently, it is almost impossible to build a house covering a large space for the living of a family in a comfortable manner rather the large space could be used to build apartment blocks or residential towers that could house several families instead of one family. Accommodation is one of the greatest challenges in the coming days and already people are experiencing the problem in different cities of the world.

Do you prefer a big or a small house? Why?

I prefer living in a big house because the environment of a big house is comfortable. The houses are made in such manner that light and air could pass easily. Moreover, the houses allow the people exercising some hobbies (I like gardening) and if there are spaces, the residents could make gardens before the house which will increase the beauty of the house. But if it is a small house, the options are rare. Moreover, the architectural style of the big houses is usually very attractive and good looking which attracts me more. But the small houses are made commercially to accommodate people, not to exercise their hobbies.

2月雅思口語地點類熱點難題分析——歷史建築

? Describe an important historical building in your city?

You should say

Where it is?

What it looks like?

What it is used for

And explain how you feel about it?

Sample answer:

I was born and raised in Shanghai, as you know, a metropolis and international city like Shanghai doesn’t have many historical building compared to many ancient cities in China. But there is still one important historical building also a tourist resort that is worth mentioning, “ Peace Hotel” which is located on the west side of the Huangpu River. If you have the chance to spend a night in this hotel, you will be able to enjoy a feast of views of the enchanting Huangpu River and the astonishing light show from the skyscrapers in the Lujiazui financial center on the other side of the river. The Peace Hotel itself is both a multi-functional modern hotel and a historical building. The seemingly forlorn appearance from outside doesn’t belie its profound and elaborative nature as well as a period of a turbulent past it represents. “The Peace Hotel” is suited on two sides of the road, on the north side is the new Peace Hotel and on the south side is the old Peace Hotel which is nowadays merely an exhibition gallery and museum. The “ Peace Hotel” still remained the most famous hotel and restaurant in Shanghai. In its past, it used to be the only residence for those foreign ambassadors and celebrities. Say like General George Marshall, Charles Chaplin and George Bernard Shaw, ect. The highlight of the Peace Hotel is its stylish Jazz bar its Jazz band. Back in 80’s, it used to be the place where numerous of political and governmental heads enjoy themselves while one of the most famous Asian jazz band playing their classic jazz music. For me, I think the “Peace Hotel” is the hotel where you can trace back to the olden days and embrace the vintage feeling of the old shanghai, meantime, you will find yourself blended in and being a part of these golden memory.

? Do you think that the architecture style are the same in your country?

You know, China is melting pot of different cultures so that’s why the architecture style is versatile too. Geographically, the architecture style in different parts of china are quite distinctive. In the north, the architecture style tend to be more like official mansion and building, say like quadrangle, the most famous residence of the folks in north. In the south, the cities is famous for being surrounded by little creeks and linked by stone bridge, people are more likely to live in small houses that is blue and gray.

? Why the architecture style should be the same?

Take an example of the city Paris, the architecture style of which is basically the same and represent an incomparable beauty of symmetry. If the architecture of a city remain in the same style, it will surely leave a deep impression on people from the world. When they think of Paris, they will think of the stylish and parallel style of the building and the yellow-colored appearance of the city. On the contrary, if the city is mixed up with different colors and styles, people will hardly have any precise impression of it and the only word come to their minds when they try to recall their travel memory of it ,is “Chaos”

? Should the government supervise the architecture style? Why?

I think It’s really a tough question. On one side if the government or the relevant ramifications do nothing to lead to trend of the architecture style and let people to build whatever in their own ways, we will definitely witness a chaotic and asymmetric building style of the city. On the other hand, controlling and supervising the way people choosing their architecture style is not fair for the free willingness and democracy of the folks. From my perspective, I think the government should at least supervise the most symbolic and outstanding constructions and buildings of a city, espeicially in the downtown area, cuz they represent for the style and rhythm of such city. But for the rest of the buildings in the residential or rural area, I think people have rights to decide their own style.
