这次推出的是雅思口语的范例分析，绝非标准答案，也没有标准答案这一说，思维方式不同，聊天的方式就不一样。以下是
1. Do you like history?
Kind of. I like to watch historicaldocumentaries. Mostly I like ancient history of China.
2. So there must be something you don’tlike about history?
Yes, I just don’t think it’s right to spendtoo much time on the past, learning what happened. We should focus more on thepresent.
3. Then why do people study history?
A good reason I can think of is they wantto know the mistakes people made in the past, so they won’t make the samemistakes in the future. I can’t figure out any other reasons for studyinghistory.
4. Do you think the internet is a goodplace to learn about history?
Yes, information on the internet is mostlyfree. So for people who don’t want to visit a historical museum in person, theycan go straight to the official websites of the museums. History is totally atyour fingertips.
5. Can you name a person from history whoyou would like to learn more about?
Okay, I’d say Mr. Lu Xun. I really like toread his works. His way of thinking is sharp and unique.
6. What would you like to talk with him whenyou met him?
I’d first ask him if it was true that hedecided to quit being a doctor and becoming a writer. And I’m so curious abouthis experience in Japan almost 100 years ago, things must be very different!
7. Did you like your history class in highschool?
当时因为学历史困难被迫选理科的同学：
History was a nightmare for me. I seriouslycut most of my history classes, because I never understood what the teacher wastalking about.
当时学文科并且热爱历史的同学：
Yes. It was fun to study history. It wasn’tjust dates and facts, it was more about how history changed the course of humancivilization。
当时选文科只是觉得历史不是很难的同学：
I wouldn’t say I liked history. It was justit never was difficult for me to study. My memory was pretty good back then, somemorizing dates and peoples’ names was a piece of cake for me.
