2018雅思口语新题之Rainy days(雨天
Rainy days题目参考答案：
1. Do you like rainy days?
No, not that much to be honest with you, because I mean, when it rains, you can’t really do anything outside, unless you don’t mind getting wet of course! And also for me, I find it a bit of a hassle carrying an umbrella around with me everywhere.
I find it a bit of a hassle = I find it an effort = 我觉得有点麻烦
2. What do you do on rainy days?
Well it kind of depends really, because there are some things I have to do regardless of whether it’s raining or not, you know, like going to lectures and stuff. But when I’m free, I tend to just chill out at home if it’s raining. So for example, I might read a book or watch TV, and I’ll only leave the flat if I absolutely have to!
Chill out = relax (used in spoken English)
3. Do you think rain is good?
Yeah, for sure. I mean, for one thing, it helps get rid of all the dust in the air. And secondly, it’s good for the natural environment. You know, it helps all the plants and vegetation stay alive. So although I don’t particularly like the rain, I understand the need for it!
Vegetation - 植物
4. Does rain ever affect transportation in your hometown?
Yeah, most definitely, because you know, whenever it rains, the traffic always seems to get a lot more congested. I’m not exactly sure why, but I guess it’s probably because cars have to drive slower in the rain.
Congested = 拥挤的，堵塞的
5. Is there any part of China where it doesn't rain much?
Yeah, I’d say there are quite a few areas of the country where it doesn’t rain a lot, the most obvious place being the Gobi Desert, which I guess never gets any rain, what with being a desert and all! And also I’d say the north of China, in general, doesn’t really get all that much rain, at least compared with the south, so a lot of that part of the country is quite dry and arid.
The Gobi Desert戈壁
What with it being a desert and all – 毕竟是个沙漠!
On the whole – 基本上，总的来说
Arid – 干燥
另一版本答案：To tell you the truth, I have no clue about this. I do not give a hoot about geography and the amount of rain in my country. I think the most rainfall is in the North where there is an intricate system of rivers.
6. What effects can a shortage of rain have on people’s lives?
Well thinking about it, I suppose one of the biggest affects it can have is on our food supply, because things like fruit and vegetables need water to grow, and rain provides the water. So you know I think it’s pretty safe to say that a shortage of rain is likely to result in a decrease in our overall food supply.
I think it’s pretty safe to say = 我觉得可以说……
Other effects:
It could result in a lack of drinking water
It could result in the government controlling how much water we can use. For example, I think I’m right in saying that in some parts of Australia, people can only spend a certain amount of time each day having a shower!
7. Can you remember a time when it rained particularly heavily in your hometown?
Yeah I can. About a year or so ago, we had, like, several days of torrential rain, almost non-stop, and so the whole of my neighbourhood got flooded. You know, the water was like, up to my knees, and so traffic came to a complete standstill. So yeah, that was probably the worst time I can remember.
About a year or so ago – 一年前左右
Like -(表示思考下面的话或用作口头禅) Some people say "like" when they are thinking about what to say next or because it has become their habit to say it. Torrential rain – 暴雨
The traffic came to a (complete) standstill 交通瘫痪了
So yeah – 所以嗯，所以说呢，(总结的时候可以用这话开头)
8. Do you think the seasons have changed in recent years, compared to the past?
Yeah I’d say they have. You know, I think it’s fair to say the summer has got quite a lot hotter, because I mean, it seems to be hitting 40 degrees every year now, and that definitely wasn’t the case in the past. And also the winter isn’t as cold as it used to be, because you know, if I think back to when I was a child, it used to snow quite a lot during the winter, but now it hardly snows at all.
I think it’s fair to say – 我觉得可以说
It hardly … at all – 几乎不……
that definitely wasn’t the case in the past – 以前绝不是这样的
9. Does it rain a lot in your hometown?
Well, it depends on the season. In winter and spring, there is a dearth of rain associated with the arid weather. In contrast, it is usually raining cats and dogs in summer and august, causing loads of troubles for people travelling on the road.
