图书馆类雅思口语话题整理.

　　图书馆类雅思口语话题一般而言难度不是很大，考生向考官描述完自己常去的图书馆后，在第三部分里会围绕图书馆的作用和未来与其展开讨论。在“真题演练”部分native speaker描述的实际上是一个虚拟的图书馆(这一点从地址上可以看出来)，语言平实易懂，举的例子很有普遍性。在“话题相关材料”部分，大家可以看到对大英图书馆和纽约公共图书馆的介绍，相信从中能发现更为专业和漂亮的语言。

�剑桥雅思九全面分析，全面解析雅思真题

　　真题演练

　　Describe a library that you often go to.

　　You should say:

　　what library it is

　　where it is /what the library looks like

　　what you do there

　　and explain why you like this library.

　　点题　There is a library near to my home where I like to go. It is called the Peoples&apos Library.

　　地点　It is located on First Avenue near Main Street. It is a very new building and has some beautiful urban sculpture standing on the grounds around it. The library has many floors. Each floor has different

　　sections.

　　介绍　The firs time I went there I had to have a lot of help to find things but now I feel like it is my second home. When I go to the library I feel like I am leaving a lot of my worries and cares behind me, even if I have to go there to do some research or to study. I think that is because I know I can always find a quiet, private place where I can read or do my work. And sometimes if I want to travel to a different place or a different time, I can do that in the library by finding a book or something on the computer that will take me into another world.

　　活动　I am particularly interested in this library because it has a lot to offer. Besides having a good stock of books, it also provides office facilities such as a good copy machine, a book binder, many computers and printers, and much more. And it has very good service too. If you need a book in another library it will obtain that book for you by either shipping it from the other library or purchasing the book.

　　Part 3

　　Libraries

　　1. Do people in China often go to libraries?

　　I think people of all ages use the library. However I think students use the libraries more often than older people. I often see young children in the library but I think university students use the library the most frequently. In my opinion, the older generation use libraries the least. Some are too busy and others have no interest in books.

　　2. Even though it might cost a lot to maintain a library, do you think the government should open more public libraries?

　　On the one hand I think that it is very worthwhile to have plenty of libraries. On the other hand with the way technology is improving practically each day, it may be wiser to invest in making computers more accessible to more people. It is possible to go to a internet caf� and go online, but much of this time is spent on worthless computer games and watching movies. Establishing computer libraries and educating people how to use them benicially might be s good idea.

　　3.Do you think public libraries should be free of charge?

　　It would be nice if libraries were free, but usually you have to pay a fee as well put down some kind of deposit. I don&apost think this is too unreasonable as people often do not appreciate things they get totally for free. If people know they can get their deposits back if they do not damage any books, then it makes them more carul. Of course the government should subsidize libraries so that the costs that people do have to pay are not exorbitant.

　　4.How do you think libraries will change in the future?

　　I can picture a future where computer technology will enable us to have easy access to all the resources a library provides. People may not even have to read. They can have the equipment needed to just listen to words being read to them. It may sound like fantasy, but with all the progress in technology I think it is very possible.

　　Improvement

　　5.What kind of skills do you think library staff should have?

　　I think library staff should always be very well informed as to where things are located in the library. This will enable them to help people to save time in finding what they need, which is a very big help in our busy times. I think they should be very courteous also as people who are using the library can often be under a lot of pressure and often need a lot of help. They may be under pressure because of an assignment they are working on or because they are unfamiliar with how the library works. Library staff should also be ficient and have organizational skills. They may have to take care of a lot of details and it would make things very difficult for those using the library if items were lost or difficult to find. Last but not least library staff should be patient. They may be faced with a myriad of requests each day and they will be unhappy and those using the library will be unhappy if the staff is frustrated, impolite or upset.

　　6. What can be done to make libraries more attractive?

　　I am interested in interior decorating and one thing I would recommend for libraries is to incorporate more neutral colors into the d�cor. I believe that nowadays libraries are decorated to use maximum space and rlect maximum light. Browns and other muted colors can create a warm atmosphere. Comfortable and attractive seats can also make the environment more inviting. Also I am in favor of having works of art in libraries. Not necessarily originals but good quality copies of famous artist&aposs work are both attractive as well as educational.

　　7.How has internet affected and reduced the popularity of library that it used to possess?

　　Certainly the internet provides easy access to sources of information, although their validity should be suspect. However, there is nothing on the internet that replaces picking up an actual book and reading it. From my perspective, reading a book is a tactile experience which is perceptible to the sense of touch. Also books can be carried every where and read whenever you stop moving. Although I use the internet for a number of things, I have in my personal library about 3,000 rerence books and I find things in them that I do not find on the internet. I augment this library with books from the library.
