雅思口語part3 博物館話題怎么說

由于受時(shí)間的限制，要了解一座城市的歷史沿革、人文風(fēng)貌，恐怕最快的還是參觀博物館。這幾年的旅行下來，印象最深刻的幾個(gè)博物館當(dāng)屬陜西省歷史博物館、秦始皇兵馬俑博物館、南京博物館和上海博物館。前兩者的館址位于陜西西安，既是中國第一個(gè)皇帝——秦始皇的都城所在，也是中國歷史上大唐盛世的經(jīng)濟(jì)文化中心;后兩者的館內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)和它所在的城市風(fēng)格類似，反映的多是明清時(shí)期的社會(huì)風(fēng)貌以及民國時(shí)期的風(fēng)土人情，而上海博物館尤其體現(xiàn)了高科技的發(fā)展，微信語音導(dǎo)游，中英文切換，3D效果展示，仿佛進(jìn)了時(shí)光的隧道。

那么回到正題，不愛參觀博物館的寶寶們，怎么回答博物館之類的話題呢?以下是2017年1月?lián)Q的新題，問題選自Part 3。

Question1: Do you think museums should be free?

Sample answer:

Yeah, ideally I think they should be, because they’re great educational resources to citizens and students. But if it’s not possible, then charging a small entrance fee I guess is acceptable, cause that will help a museum cover its costs and stay running. Alternatively, museums could be free and have a donation box, so that if you can afford to donate something towards the upkeep, then you have the opportunity to do so.

Vocabulary:

ideally - adv:理想情況下

charge - v:要價(jià),收費(fèi)

entrance fee - n:門票

cover its costs - 收回成本

stay running - 維持運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)

alternatively - adv:要不然,或者

donation box - 捐款箱

upkeep - n:維護(hù),保養(yǎng)

Question2: Are young people in your country interested in historical museums?

Sample answer:

Well, I think most young people are, to a varying degree. So in other words, I think young people here have at least some level of interest in them, although it’s probably fair to say that they’re not that high on the list of favorite things to do! You know, I’d say the young here are generally a lot more interested in stuff like computer games and foreign TV series, but history’s deeply rooted in our culture, so I think it will always hold some level of interest for anyone in my country, both young and old.

to a varying degree -在不同程度上

deeply rooted in - 深深植根于

young and old - 老老少少
