雅思口語P2考官范文：a useful website

喜歡上的網(wǎng)站Describe a useful website that you like to visit.

Useful phrases:

(Talking about Taobao…)

Ok, well the first website that came to mind when I saw this topic was Taobao dot com, which (I suppose you could say) is the Chinese equivalent of eBay.com 好的，那么當(dāng)我看到這個話題的時候，我第一想到的網(wǎng)站是淘寶網(wǎng)，這個網(wǎng)站應(yīng)該可以說是相等于(國外的)eBay.com.

There’s a huge range of stuff you can buy on this website.

(“stuff” just means “things”, and is uncountable, so no “s” at the end. It’s used a lot in spoken English)

One of the best things about this website is that the prices are generally a lot cheaper than in the shops.

I mainly go on it to buy things like clothes…

I know that shopping online can be quite risky, because the product often isn’t as good as it looks on the website, but if you do enough research, such as read (through) the customer reviews of the product you’re thinking of buying, then I think you can avoid this kind of thing happening to you, because you’ll be able to get an idea of (你將能夠了解) how reliable the supplier is.

(Talking about www.ted.com )

Ok right then, well (好的，那么) the website I’d like to talk to you about is Ted dot com, which you might (well) have heard of before, and possibly even been on (你可能聽說過，也可能上過).

And as for what’s on the website, well to put it simply, it’s basically a huge collection of video speeches by various people from all kinds of fields,

So it’s a really great resource (一個極好的資源) for learning stuff

It’s completely free, you know, it doesn’t cost anything to listen to the talks,

And what’s great about it is that (它很好的一點就是) you can choose Chinese or English subtitles(字幕) for most of the talks, and also download them onto your computer.

I also like to read the comments (評論) written by other people who have watched the talk.

I go on it (probably) something like two or three times a week(我大概每周量、三次上這個網(wǎng)站) , so pretty much every other day (所以差不多每隔一天)

I’m normally on it while I’m having my lunch (我一般吃午飯的時候在上個網(wǎng)站) because most of the talks are between about 10 to 20 minutes

As for why I think it’s a good website – well first and foremost , it’s because the (vast) majority of talks are incredibly interesting, at least in my opinion anyway (至少在我看來), so there’s a tremendous amount you can learn from them. (能夠從它們學(xué)到很多很多!)

…I think it’s wonderful to have a website like this, which brings all these great talks together in one place

…and another good thing about it is that the talks on the website don’t go on for too long (不延續(xù)太久). You know we’ve all listened to speeches which drag on and on(拖延很久), but these ones are (generally) all quite short and to the point(直切主題的).

(Talking about Yahoo)

…what I like about Yahoo is that the news articles are always very short and concise(簡明的), you know, not too wordy (文字略嫌羅唆) like a lot of other news websites.

…and another good thing about the articles on Yahoo is that they are generally written in a pretty colloquial (口語的) style, which makes them easy to read.

(Talking about the BBC World Service Website)

…I would say it’s definitely one of the best English learning resources on the web, because you can listen to the radio live for 24 hours a day…

…and as well as this (除此之外), there are loads of other radio programmes you can also listen to.

(loads of = lots of – and used mainly in spoken English)

(Talking about Renren website人人網(wǎng))

Ok, well the first website that came to mind when I saw this topic was Renren dot com, which (I suppose you could say) is the Chinese equivalent of Facebook.

…it’s basically the Chinese version (版本) of Facebook.

…it’s a social networking site (社交網(wǎng)站)

…you can upload photos onto the website so that your friends can enjoy looking at them.
