雅思口語話題Part 3范文借鑒：建筑物

雅思口語 IELTS Speaking Part 3 Buildings:

1. Do buildings need to look the same?

No, most certainly not! You know, I think a city’s much more interesting when it has a variety of different buildings. It just makes a city a lot more attractive. I mean, look at the....um… …what’s it called?!...Oh yeah, that’s it - the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. That’s just a really cool building, and I don’t think there are many buildings like that on Earth! So it’s one of the things that draws so many people to Shanghai, and to me, that really demonstrates the power of unique architecture.

(most) certainly not – definitely not, 絕不!

what’s it called – 叫什么來著!

the Oriental Pearl Tower– 東方明珠

Cool – (In this sentence) - 能被表示程度的副詞或介詞詞組修飾的形容詞

非常好的;特別棒的;絕妙的If you say that something is cool, you think it is very good

drawspeople to somewhere – attracts people

2. Do you prefer traditional architecture or modern architecture?

I guess it kind of depends really. Because in terms of visual appearance, I’d say I probably prefer traditional architecture, simply because, you know, there’s less and less of it around, so when I see it, it just looks a bit more special, especially considering the lack of technology back then. And

I mean, nowadays, modern architecture’s everywhere, and that kind of just lessens the appeal. But if it was a place to live, then my preference would definitely be modern architecture, because I think it’s more suited towards modern-day living. So um, yeah, it really depends what aspect I’m looking at it from.

in terms of visual appearance - 從視覺外觀的角度來看

especially considering – 尤其是考慮到

back then – 那個時候

lessens the appeal – 減少吸引力

it’s more suited towards modern-day living– 更適合現(xiàn)代的生活

I think the architecture of ancient buildings, like temples, pagodas and churches is just extraordinary/ incredible.

3. Do you prefer tall buildings or short buildings?

Well, I don’t really tend to judge a building purely on its height, because I mean, there are lots of other things to take into consideration, like the state it’s in, what it’s made of, and so on. But all things being equal, I’d say I generally prefer tall buildings, basically because they just look a bit more impressive!

I don’t really tend to – 我一般不……

Purely = solely

The state it’s in – 狀況

all things being equal- 在其他各點都相同的情況下

impressive - 給人深刻印象的;不俗的;了不起的Something that is impressive impresses you, for example because it is great in size or degree, or is done with a great deal of skill.

Another possible answer:

I think it’s pretty hard to generalize, but on the whole, I’d say I prefer tall buildings. You know, I think they generally look a bit cooler. And um… if I’m living in a tall building, high up, then I’ll have a better view than if I was living in some low-storey building. So uh, yeah, I guess those would be the main reasons.

it’s pretty hard to generalize– 有點難概括

High up - 在高處

low-storey – 底層
