雅思口语Part 1高分语料 | Mirrors 镜子

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:05 How often do you look at yourself in a mirror? Hmmm, well, I'd say I glance at myself in the mirror quite frequently since we have a large oval-shaped mirror on the wall of my living room in a convenient spot, so it's always easy for a quick self-assessment. I also use it whenever I'm tidying up my hair or applying a touch of makeup before heading out, and in that way, it's become a routine part of my pre-outing ritual. I also take a moment to check my overall look when I'm putting on a nice shirt, making sure the fit and the way it pairs with my other accessories are on point. So, come to think of it, I'd say it's safe to say that it's part of my daily life, and that I probably look at myself in the mirror several times a day, even without really thinking about it. * glance at：瞥一眼；扫视 * oval-shaped：椭圆形的 * a convenient spot：一个便利的地点 * self-assessment：自我检查 * tidying up：整理；收拾 * applying a touch of makeup：化一点妆 * heading out：外出 * a routine part of：……的常规部分 * pre-outing ritual：出门前的习惯（仪式） * take a moment to：花一点时间做…… * on point：恰到好处 01:01 Have you ever bought a mirror? Absolutely, the last time I purchased a mirror was a few months ago, from the Palace Museum's online store. The mirror had an exquisitely designed back, reminiscent of the opulent ceilings in the Palace Museum. The craftsmanship was remarkable, with intricate details that added a touch of elegance and historical charm to it. I decided to give it as a parting gift to my roommate in Singapore, knowing how much she appreciated art and beautiful objects. When she received it, she was over the moon. In fact, she was so enamored with it that she couldn't bear to open the box right away. She wanted to preserve its pristine condition and keep it as a cherished memento. It was a special moment for us, and I'm glad I chose such a meaningful gift for her. * exquisitely designed：精心设计的 * reminiscent of：使人想起…… * opulent ceilings：华丽的天花板 * craftsmanship：工艺；手艺 * remarkable：非凡的；引人注目 * intricate details：精细的细节 * added a touch of elegance：增添了一丝优雅 * historical charm：历史魅力 * a parting gift：临别礼物；分手礼物 * over the moon：欣喜若狂；兴高采烈 * enamored with：喜爱；对……倾心 * couldn't bear to：不忍心 * pristine condition：原始的状态；完好无损的状态 * memento：纪念品 [Image] 02:00 Would you buy clothes without checking yourself in a mirror first? I guess so, as I'm guilty of buying things online, particularly casual items like T-shirts or pajamas that are relatively inexpensive and don't require a perfect fit. I reckon that even if they don't fit perfectly, they'll still be comfortable and serve their purpose. However, when it comes to more formal attire, I'm much more meticulous and make it a point to try on the clothes and examine myself in the mirror from every angle. I check for the fit, the length, the way it drapes, and how it complements my body shape, etcetera. I want to be absolutely certain that the clothes not only look good but also make me feel confident and comfortable. Also, I don't want to waste money on something I’m not happy with. * guilty of：对……感到愧疚；有……的行为（这里指有不试穿就购买衣服这种行为） * pajamas：睡衣 * relatively inexpensive：相对便宜 * a perfect fit：十分合身 * serve their purpose：达到它们的目的；起作用；有用 * formal attire：正装 * meticulous：小心翼翼的；非常注意细节的 * make it a point to：特意；必定要 * the fit：（衣服的）合身度 * drapes：悬垂（此处指衣服的垂坠感） * complement：与……相配；衬托 * waste money on：在……上浪费钱 02:58 Do you think mirrors are a good way to decorate a room? Sure, I think mirrors can be an excellent add-on to a room's decor, especially when they're ornate and well-placed. Mirrors make a room appear larger and more open. A full-length mirror, or one that is oval in particular, can be a focal point in a room, adding a touch of class. There's also a psychological aspect to it. People are naturally drawn to mirrors, as they provide an opportunity to see themselves and check themselves out. Mirrors can also reflect light, brightening up a room and making it feel more inviting. Whether it's a small decorative mirror on a wall or a large statement piece, mirrors have the potential to transform the look and feel of a room no doubt. * add-on：附加物；增添的东西 * decor：装饰 * ornate：华丽的；精美的 * well-placed：放置得当的 * a full-length mirror：全身镜 * a focal point：焦点 * a touch of class：一丝优雅 * a psychological aspect：一个心理层面 * naturally drawn to：本能地被……所吸引 * check...out：查看；打量 * reflect：反射 * brighten up：（使）变明亮 * inviting：吸引人的 * decorative：装饰性的；作装饰用的 * statement piece：（能成为房间等亮点的）醒目物品 * the potential to：有……的潜力 * transform：使改观；使转化 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告：欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

雅思口语Part 1高分语料 | Handwriting 手写

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:10 Do you like handwriting? Actually, yes, I do. I have a profound affection for handwriting. I feel like the act of grasping a pen and jotting down notes in a notebook is an emotionally satisfying experience for me, especially if I'm writing down things I think are important, such as ideas, facts or about my experiences. I kinda feel like it's a type of meditation actually, which I think is similar with the art form of Chinese calligraphy. In fact, I think my passion for handwriting was nurtured during my childhood when I dedicated two years to practicing Chinese calligraphy daily. It wasn't just a routine because the experience taught me the beauty of Chinese character strokes, the rhythm of writing, and the patience required to perfect each character. So even today, whenever I hold a pen, I have a reflexive emotion connected to holding a pen and writing down my thoughts. * a profound affection for：对……有着深厚的喜爱 * grasp：握住，抓住 * jotting down notes：记笔记 * an emotionally satisfying experience：一种在情感上令人满足的体验 * a type of meditation：一种冥想方式 * the art form of：……的艺术形式 * Chinese calligraphy：中国书法 * my passion for：我对……的热爱 * nurtured：培养；滋养；培育 * dedicated...to...：把……奉献给……；致力于…… * Chinese character strokes：汉字笔画 * the rhythm of：……的节奏 * the patience required to：做……所需的耐心 * perfect (v.)：使完美；完善； * reflexive emotion：本能的情感 01:08 Do you think handwriting is important? Sure, yes, I think so. In fact, I'd say the ability to handwrite is of utmost importance. Before the ubiquitous use of computers, handwritten documents were the primary means of record-keeping, but even today, a person who can write legibly and who has beautiful penmanship is impressive and I think is still held to be an admirable trait. * of utmost importance：极其重要的 * the ubiquitous use of：……的普遍使用 * the primary means of record-keeping：主要的记录方式 * write legibly：书写清晰 * beautiful penmanship：漂亮的书法，优美的字迹 * impressive：给人深刻印象的，令人钦佩的 * held to be：被看作是 * an admirable trait：一个令人钦佩的特质 [Image] 01:37 Which do you prefer, handwriting or typing? Actually, I'd say it depends as it's contextual. For example, when it comes to activities like reading a book and taking notes, I definitely will write down my thoughts by hand, and I feel there's something immersive about scribbling my thoughts in the margins of a book. But if I need to write an essay or article, then I prefer typing, no doubt, as it's easy to delete, edit, copy, paste, re-arrange, and ultimately, allows me to craft my articles. Also, my speed and efficiency in typing is much greater than my writing. * contextual：取决于上下文/具体情境 * write down my thoughts：写下我的想法 * immersive：使人全神贯注的；有身临其境之感的 * scribbling：潦草地书写（scribble的现在分词形式） * in the margins of a book：在书的页边空白处 02:24 What's the difference between handwriting and typing? I think the disparities between handwriting and typing are multi-faceted, but at a fundamental level, I think handwriting is more organic and tactile as it involves the physical movement of my hand, the pressure exerted on the pen, and the flow of ink on paper, giving me a tangible sense of creation. In contrast, typing is a mechanical action of pressing keys on a keyboard. So, I guess that's the number one difference, a physical difference. Additionally, handwriting is unique as it seems to be influenced by personality, mood, and writing habits. It can convey a sense of individuality and emotion, whereas typing is a little less impersonal in that way. But as I mentioned before, I think typing, providing you're good at it, is much more efficient and negates the difficulty for others to have to decipher one's handwriting. * the disparities between：……之间的差别 * multi-faceted：多方面的 * organic：自然流畅的，非机械的 * tactile：触觉的；有触感的；可触摸的 * the physical movement of：肢体动作 * the pressure exerted on：施加在……上的压力 * the flow of ：……的流动 * a tangible sense of：一种切实的、可感知的……感觉 * a mechanical action of：……的机械动作 * press keys on a keyboard：敲键盘 * unique：独特的 * convey a sense of：传达出一种……的感觉 * individuality：个性；独特性 * impersonal：没有人情味的；缺乏个性的 * negate：否定；使无效；消除 * decipher：解读；辨认（难认的文字等） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告：欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

雅思口语Part 1高分语料 | Ambition 志向抱负

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:10 Are you an ambitious person? I'd say to some degree, yes, but I'm not the type to dedicate myself totally to just one ambition, in other words, I enjoy achieving any goal that I have set out to reach. So in that way, I think I can consider myself ambitious. The idea of settling for a so-called "iron rice bowl" job, where the trajectory of one's working life is, to some extent, pre-determined and with a job that lacks excitement, well, it simply isn't my cup of tea. So in that way, I guess I'm ambitious in the way of wanting to fulfill my wishes and dreams, so it means I work hard, but I do also like just relaxing and reading and just enjoying the view so to speak, you know, taking time to smell the roses. * to some degree：在某种程度上 * not the type to：不是那种……的人 * dedicate myself totally to：全身心投入到…… * ambition：抱负；志向；野心 * achieving any goal that I have set out to reach：实现立下的任何目标 * ambitious：有抱负的 * the idea of：……的想法 * settling for：勉强接受；将就 * iron-rice-bowl job：铁饭碗工作 * the trajectory of：……的轨迹 * pre-determined：预先决定的 * my cup of tea：合我心意 * fulfill my wishes：实现我的愿望 * enjoying the view：享受当下的状态/惬意时光 * taking time to smell the roses：享受生活中的美好时刻 01:07 What are your ambitions in life? Hmmm, I think first and foremost, I would have to say that I want to satisfy my desire to travel. I want to continually travel to new countries. I'm always eager to explore more cultures across the globe, learning more about different cultures and ways of living. And I think the second is that I'm determined to further my education overseas as I think studying in a different academic environment can expose me to new ideas and new ways of thinking. And I guess lastly is that I aspire to engage in work that I'm passionate about. * first and foremost：首先 * satisfy my desire to：满足……的愿望 * eager to：渴望 * across the globe：世界各地 * ways of living：生活方式 * determined to：决心 * further my education：继续深造 * overseas：在海外 * academic environment：学术环境 * expose myself to new ideas：接触到新的想法 * new ways of thinking：新的思维方式 * aspire to：渴望；追求 * engage in：从事；参与 * passionate about：对……充满热情 [Image] 01:54 Have you ever achieved your ambitions? I'm happy to say, yes, I have. I can say my first ambition was to learn English. I think I've worked really hard to improve my English, and I know I still have a long way to go, but I wanted to learn because it's interesting to know how other people in another language communicate. Also, before I mentioned about further education, and recently, I feel proud to say, I successfully obtained a master's degree from a top-ranking university in Singapore. I can say that this experience was a realization of a lifelong dream, a lifelong ambition. * worked really hard to improve：非常努力地去提高 * still have a long way to go：还有很长的路要走 * communicate：交流；沟通 * further education：深造 * feel proud：感到自豪 * obtained：获得 * a top-ranking university：一所顶尖大学 * a realization of a lifelong dream：实现了一生的梦想 02:40 Are you the kind of person who sticks to your dreams? I'd say so. In fact, my friends often comment on my perseverance. Once I set a goal, regardless of how seemingly unattainable it may appear initially, I approach it steadfastly. I break down the goal into smaller, manageable steps and create a plan to achieve each one. Of course, along the way, there are numerous obstacles, but I do my best to view them as opportunities for growth rather than a reason to give up. * comment on：对……发表评论；评价 * perseverance：毅力；坚持不懈；不屈不挠的精神 * once I set a goal：一旦我设定了一个目标 * regardless of：不管；无论 * unattainable：无法达到的；难以获得的 * appear initially：最初看起来；一开始显得 * approach...steadfastly：坚定地处理……；坚定不移地对待…… * break down...into smaller, manageable steps：把……分解成更小的、可处理的步骤 * create a plan：制定一个计划 * numerous obstacles：众多的障碍；无数的困难 * do my best：尽我最大的努力 * view them as opportunities for growth：把它们视为成长的机会 * rather than：而不是 * a reason to give up：放弃的理由 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告：欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。
