雅思口語話題：Shoes

　　1. Do you like shopping for shoes?

　　Yes: Absolutely! Just like most girls do.Cuz to me, they are not just something you put on, but more of a fashion accessory (時尚配飾).

　　No: Actually, unlike some people, I’m not big on (be big on: be a fan of;be fond of) buying shoes. To me, it’s just a matter of (僅僅是…) finding the right ones. Nothingmore.

　　2. How often do you buy shoes?

　　Yes: From time to time (時常，常常), I think. I would buy acouple of new pairs of shoes almost every season to match with my outfit (搭配我的著裝).

　　No: Probably once in a few months, onaverage (平均來說). Cuz my shoes tend to be quite durable (耐用的，耐穿的), and they usually last a long time before they are worn out (磨破，穿破).

　　3. What kinds of shoes do you usually buy?

　　I shop for a wide range of shoes, from highheels (高跟鞋), flats(平底鞋), boots (靴子), totraining shoes (運動鞋), you know, to serve different needs (滿足不同的需求).

　　The shoes I shop for are mostly simple, plain-looking (ordinary-looking) and comfortable ones. Cuz that’s basically everything that I need!

　　4. Do you prefer comfortable shoes, or good-looking shoes?

　　That’s an easy one! When it comes to shoes,comfort is always the number one priority(something that is more important than anything else).But that doesn’t mean I don’t care for (be fond of) looks. I mean, nobody wants to wear shoes that lookhideous(super ugly), right?

　　5. Do you have a pair of shoes that you especially like?

　　I do, as a matter of fact (in fact; actually). They are a pair of limitededition (限量版) that I bought a few years ago. I kind of splurgedon (splurgeon sth: spend a lot of money on sth 揮霍) them, but they are totallyworth it (be worth it: 值得)!

　　6. Do you ever buy shoes online?

　　Yeah, sometimes. Cuz there are some specialsoffers and discounts (優(yōu)惠、折扣) every once in a while, which could save me some money. So,why not?

　　No, never. I would buy other things online,but if I wanna shop for shoes, I’d rather go to a shoe store. Cuz theproblem with shopping online is that (The problem with sth is that…: 什么的問題是…) you won’t be able to trythem on (試穿) andmay end up(end up doing: 到頭來) buying a pair of shoes that don’t fit.

　　7. Do you think men and women are equally interested in buying shoes?

　　I don’t think so. Generally, women seem tobe more into shoes compared with guys. They tend to own shoes of differentstyles for various occasions (場合). For men, on the other hand, they are prettymuch (to some degree) the same thing.
