在备考雅思口语时，烤鸭们不难发现，雅思口语的题型多种多样，有的比较书面化，也有一些是比较贴近生活的，无论是哪种，我们在备考中都要注意积累。今天雅思口语解析—历史建筑和shoes。
地点类热点题：历史建筑
• 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.
shoes：
1. Do you like shopping for shoes?
2. How often do you buy shoes?
这两道题都是在说你喜不喜欢鞋子，对于女生来说可能什么样的鞋子都要备一双，例如运动鞋sneakers，高跟鞋high heals，凉鞋 sandals ;男生可能一双运动鞋就可以走天下了。
女生版： Absolutely sure, shoes have the same magic power as bags which can always attract women, in my eyes, every moment of resistance to temptation is so hard for us. Once I meet shoes I like I would buy it if the price is reasonable.
男生版： Actually, I can’t really say I fancy it unless I am in the demand for shoes. Unlike girls, they are more crazy about such things, you know, like clothes, shoes and bags. Two or three pairs of shoes are more than enough for men, I suppose.
3. What kind of shoes you do usually buy?
4. Do you prefer comfortable shoes, or good looking shoes?
5. What’s your favorite type of shoes?
6. Do you know anyone who likes to buy a lot of shoes?
鞋子的类型可以很细分，什么高跟鞋，运动鞋，平低鞋，我们也可以说喜欢舒适一点的，喜欢显高一点的，因为本身比较矮，甚至可是说不在什么材质颜色，只要是流行当季的就好，舒适什么完全不考虑。
词汇补充： style: simple and all-match / trendy / stylish / in / epidemic textures: leather / canvas colors: vibrant / plain / lily-white
type: flats / platform(有防水台的鞋) / sandal / trainers / loafer(乐福鞋)/ dress shoes (皮鞋)
feel: comfortable / casual / badly fitting /rub painfully / flatter my legs / exaggerate my height
范文一： As for me, neither comfort nor texture is the matter that I might consider. I am the person who takes shoes as an accessory to my outfits, so the style of them is the most crucial. Those simple and all-match shoes are always my choices.
范文二： Compared with stylish ones, I would like to buy a pair of shoes which are more casual, I mean, I am not obsessed with shoes. What’s worse, most of attractive shoes are bad fitting, I don’t want to be rubbed painfully and get blisters during the walk.
7. Do you have a pair of shoes that you especially like?
特别喜欢的一双鞋，这个跟我们刚刚分析的喜欢类型的答案很像。你只要描述一双最喜欢的就好，什么时候买的，什么材质，穿起来什么感觉就好。哪怕这双鞋并不舒服，但是我就是喜欢啊。
8. Have you ever bought shoes online?
本题是想问你有没有网购的经历，第一个考点就是要注意时态!其次买过就要阐述details，如果没有那么就要解释原因啦。大家不想网购的原因有这么几种:
1. 觉得有风险，会泄露我的银行卡，身份证等等个人信息，不会在网上东西，更别提鞋了。
Though online shopping / E-commerce is a prevailing=popular way to consume, to my knowledge, it still has risks. I am really afraid of my information safety, so shopping online is not my thing.
2. 网上的东西虽然便宜但是无法试穿，鞋子吗还是要试一试的。
The incomparable merit of shopping online is the low price and it is the main reason why people shop there. But it still has drawbacks, I couldn’t try on for a pair of fitting shoes.
3. 万一质量不好，虽然可以7天无理由退货但是太麻烦了，还要等，实体店比较方便放心。
I know I have the right to return poor-quality shoes in certain days without reasons, but it’s troublesome to wait my money back.
当然，例文的作用主要是参考，大家要摸清套路，要会做题，不要死做题。雅思口语解析—历史建筑和shoes这两篇大家也是参考即可。
