2020年9月雅思口语part1新题：Weekends

Weekends这个话题属于旧题回库，虽然近两年内并未考到，但是因为话题本身难度不大，所以就算它出现在本季度的题库中，也不应该让大家感到困惑。

1 What do you usually do on weekends?

On weekends I do a variety of things. I rest, I read, I go out with friends to a park or go to the cinema. Occasionally I go have dinner in a restaurant – there are lots of new restaurants opening up in my city so I often go with a group of friends to a restaurant, usually a hotpot restaurant. I like eating out with friends and family – it’s a popular communal activity in my country, actually.

解析：communal的意思是共享的，共有的;不同群体的。周末大家为了放松一下，经常会约上三五好友在饭店小聚，所以答案使用communal activity来形容。

2 Would you say weekends are important to us?

I think they’re very important. It’s when we get time to spend with family and friends and kick back and relax and forget about work or the hassles of daily life. Weekends are when we can wind down, recharge our batteries and relax a bit after a working week. I think everyone should have free weekends.

解析：这道题的答案无疑是肯定的，想必没有人会觉得周末休息不重要吧~ hassles的意思是困难，麻烦。除此之外，答案提到了三个表示“放松”的短语：kick back, wind down和recharge our batteries。这样一来，大家就可以用来替换在自己答案中高频出现的“relax”。

3 Do you often go to the cinema on weekends?

From time to time, depending on what’s on. I wouldn’t say I go that often, perhaps once every couple of months. But when I do go I enjoy it immensely. I love seeing a film on the big screen and eating popcorn and maybe going to dinner afterwards and discussing the movie with my friends.

解析：答案中的immensely替换了very much，这个单词还是很加分的，建议掌握。

4 What do you plan to do for next weekend?

I have no plans next weekend. In fact, I’ve got some work to catch up on so I will work half of the time and the other half of the time I’ll do odd jobs around the house, run some errands in town and then just get an early night. These days I don’t go out much on weekends really. It’s been a busy few months for me and I’ve got all sorts of random things to do by the time the weekend comes around.

解析：do odd jobs的意思是干一些杂活，get an early night的意思是尽早入睡，早点休息。
