雅思口语宠物话题解析

　　雅思口语part1常见话题

　　Describe a pet you would like to own.

　　Describe a pet people often keep in their country.

　　题目分析

　　遇到关于宠物的话题，家里养宠物的同学们是不是觉得非常得心应手?有没有很多关于自己养宠物的经历想要与考官分享呢?欣怡老师家里从小到大养过十多条狗狗，还有热带鱼和各种鸟，现在还自己养了一只名为“小怪兽”的仓鼠，所以聊起这个话题感觉有说不完的话。当然，没养过宠物的同学们遇到这个话题也不要慌，想一想自己想养哪种宠物?如果觉得小猫小狗太寻常的话也不妨可以尝试一下讲一些让考官们眼前一亮的宠物喔。

　　思路点拨

　　好，回归正题，遇到这样的话题第一步我们需要理清思绪，想清楚自己的口语话题要从哪几方面展开会比较充实。其实这个话题与描述一种野生动物的套路是一样一样的，在描述自己养过或者想养的宠物时，考生也需要介绍宠物的外观、生活习性等细节，关键是能够介绍出自己怎样饲养这一宠物以及饲养这一宠物给自己带来的好处，例如快乐地陪伴、培养爱心和耐心等待。

　　建议包括以下四点：

　　(1) What it is

　　(2) How long you have raised it

　　(3) How to take care of it

　　(4)Explain what benefits you can get from keeping a pet

　　Sample Answer

　　If I ever decide to buy a pet, I would buy a hamster. A hamster is a kind of mouse, and it’s smaller than a rat. It doesn't have long tail, and its mouth is not sharp. Hamsters have a lighter colour, something like gray. The reason I choose hamsters is that they’re so adorable and mischievous. Furthermore, hamsters like to run around a wheel and can go for 15-20 minutes without stopping. To me it is fascinating to watch them do that.

　　They are actually very easy to take care of. I would just need to put the hamster in a cage, have some pet toys in there, and that would be enough. Food for hamsters is very simple: they like to eat carrot, fruits, and nuts. Of course, we shouldn't forget water. It's very simple to keep the cage clean. Just make sure the cage is clean and water is replenished every day. I would say a hamster is a very clean animal and very entertaining just to watch. I'm sure all kids and adults would surely like a hamster.
