Studies:
1. Are you working or studying?
I am currently a college student. I am studying computer science in
Tsinghua University, one of the top universities in China。
Notes:好的回答有一定延伸。比如说在回答完还在学习的内容后，可以增加在哪里学习以及学习什么的内容。
I am working for IBM as an administrative staff. I’ve been doing this job
for many years and I still like doing it。
2. Tell me something about the school or university you attend。
Sure. I’m always excited to talk about my university, Tsinghua
University. Established in the early 1900’s by the Qing Dynasty, it has now
become one of the top ranking universities in China and wellrenowned in the
world. Located in the northwest of Beijing in Qinghuayuan ,once a royal
garden, it enjoys a marvelous natural environment. The campus is really big.
It is home to more than ten thousand undergraduate and graduate students. In
terms of learning and research, Tsinghua university provides the most qualified
faculty anywhere in China, and the best library and research facilities. The
last thing I would like to mention of Tsinghua is that it has a long tradition of sending students to study overseas. Not only that it was first established as a preparatory school for students to study in the US, but it also sends over
a thousand students each year to study abroad, US, Australia and other
countries. Thank you。
可以谈大学的地理位置，历史，教学和学术成就，校园外貌以及其他的任何方面都可以谈。抓住什么就谈什么，注意连贯性的掌握。
Well, of course. I study in XXX University. It is one of the largest and best universities in central China. It has a very big and nice campus. Though the university has been established for a long time, many of its old buildings are now replaced by new and modern ones. With lawns and trees everywhere, the environment of the campus is really good, making it a good college experience
for everyone who studies here。
Tell me something about your primary school。
The name of the school is XXX Primary School. It is not far from where I
where I used to live. It is a rather small one with only two buildings, the
main teaching building and an office building. There is also a playground
behind the buildings with several gym bars and a sand pit. I guess that’s
all I can remember now. Thanks。
Well, I don’t remember much but just a few things about my primary
school. First it is rather a small one with a size of 20 students in each
class. And there were only three classes on each grade at that time. Then the playground behind the main building is also very small. I faintly remember that
there were a few things students could play with: a swing, a sand dune, and
a few other things. I used to stay at school to play there until my parents
come to take me home. That is pretty much of what I remember。
Sure. It is one of the best primary schools in my hometown. To get into
this school, one must meet certain qualifications and pass an entry test. But it is certainly worth fighting for to get into this school, because the teachers
there are very experienced and patient, and almost every graduate from this
school can get into the top schools at higher levels。
没有必要面面俱到，重点是谈“something”，而不是“everything”。所以抓住感兴趣的或者印象深刻的一方面展开论述就可以了。
3. What is your major?
I major in Business Administration. And I find business is a fascinating
world to explore. I am studying hard and hopefully one day I’ll become a
successful businessman。
Notes:大学中的专业很多。首先考生必须明确自己专业的准确英文翻译。如果考生不知道自己专业的准确英文翻译，可以讲一个较大的领域，比如“小麦植株培育”可以说是“botany”、“industrial farming”，或者可以讲自己在某一个系别，现在还没有分专业。
4. Do you like your major and why?
Yes, of course. I like my major primarily because I am very much into
computer science. Since young I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of
future technology, robots and supercomputers. Secondly, IT is a huge market
with wide profit margins. It has created a new generation of billionaires.
It is promising major that is bound to bring me a good career in the future.
That is precisely why I like my major。
Not really. Actually I didn’t choose this major for myself. My parents
chose it for me. In addition, I find all the subjects I have to study for this
major very boring. I don’t think I can learn much from them。
Notes:如果喜欢，不要简单的说“I just like it”，要有充分的理由，展现出自己理性的一面和逻辑的思维表达。比较常见的理由有三：1、有兴趣2、相对容易学习和毕业3、有较好的职业前景
5. What courses/subjects do you study?
There is a wide range of courses I study. Some are compulsory while others are optional. The two major compulsory courses are College English, including intensive reading, extensive reading, speaking etc., and College Math, including calculus, probability and statistics and so on. In addition, I also have chosen to study Art History and Psychology, which can all enrich my understanding of
human mind itself and the great works of human mind。
Notes: 高中考生可以按照自己文理科分科回答，大学的课程很多，可以大致将有选修和必修，然后简单提及一两个课程即可。例如必修课有：English, Calculus, Computer Basics; 选修课有：Art History, World Religions, Psychology。
6. What is your favorite course/subject?
My favorite course/subject is XXX, because, number one, it is very interesting. Number two, it is not very difficult to study. Number three, it is also very useful。
类似于专业，喜爱单一的课程也可能因为该课程有趣，易学以及有用。
What is the most useful subject/course?
I think English is most useful subject. Because today communication plays such an important role is people’s lives, especially when the world is becoming a global village, where English is the primary spoken language. And thus good training in spoken English gives a person a competitive edge and more opportunities than those who can’t speak it。
It is really a hard question. Though I don’t think all subjects are useful, yet I do think most of them can be useful in different ways and in different times of life. Nonetheless, I think communication skills are essential for one’s social and academic life; since English has become the lingua franca in global communication, I would say English, as far as I’m concerned, is the most useful subject。
和其他的题目相同，在直接回答完最有用的科目之后，一定要附加原因，这样的回答才能满足雅思考官的要求。这也是一个一般性原则。
7. What would you like to do in the future?
I would like to see myself becoming a great businessman, using my brain to make money. I would always keep myself motivated to learn new things, to improve in all aspects of my business management. This may take me years to achieve. But I’ll never give up, for without vision people perish。
考生应该实话实说，不要过于夸张，譬如世界领袖什么之类的，免得考官觉得该考生有狂人或者独裁者的特质。如果未曾认真打算过，也可以坦率地告诉考官，毕竟考官考察的是英文程度，而不是使馆的签证人员。
I haven’t fully planned it out yet. But I guess I would like to be an accountant who works in an ordinary accounting firm, for I don’t like too many ups and downs. I just would like to lead a simple and ordinary life。
老题：
What are the characteristics of schools in China?
Most Chinese schools, whether at primary, secondary or college level, are all very big in terms of student population, which I think is due to the large general population in China. In addition, most of the schools are public schools, though we have seen lots of private schools even colleges springing up in recent years.
考生总结一两点即可，例如：中国学校学生多，班级规模大，虽然有大量的私立学校在近几年涌现出来，但是大多数的还是公立学校。
What kinds of majors are available in China?
There are two main categories of majors: arts major and science major. Under the category of arts, there are business, law, language and literature for example. And under science, there are math, psychology, material science, computer science and many others。
中国大学专业一般以文理分科，文科叫arts major，理科叫science major，除此以外还有工科(engineering)例如：computer engineering，electronic engineering，mechanic engineering and design等等。
What do Chinese people think about teachers?
Teachers are generally respected in China. And there is even a saying in proof of this, “a teacher of one day is a father of a lifetime。”
Teaching is a very respectable profession in China. Because the traditional Chinese culture puts an enormous amount of emphasis on education, teachers are even dubbed a name “the engineer of human soul”。
中华民族是向来尊师重教的民族，对教师的尊敬有着悠久的传统，古语有言：“一日为师，终生为父。”这便是很好的例证。考生可以通过教育对人成长的作用和父母亲望子成龙的期望，映射出中国对教师的尊敬。
Is teaching a popular job in China? Why or why not?
Well, I believe it is a popular job in China. First and foremost, teaching is a highly respectable profession in China. There is even an old saying in proof of this, “a teacher of one day is a father of a lifetime。” Furthermore, teachers are also very well rewarded in many ways, both economically and spiritually。
当教师通常是一份稳定的工作，也是很多人的选择。同时社会对教师在经济和各方面的回报也是不菲的。
