一、考试说明
图书馆话题总体来说难度不大,考生向考官描述完自己常去的图书馆后,在第三部分里会围绕图书馆的作用和未来与其展开讨论。在“真题演练”部分native speaker描述的实际上是一个虚拟的图书馆(这一点从地址上可以看出来),语言平实易懂,举的例子很有普遍性。在“话题相关材料”部分,大家可以看到对大英图书馆和纽约公共图书馆的介绍,相信从中能发现更为专业和漂亮的语言。
二、真题演练
Describe a library that you often go to.
You should say:
what library it is
where it is /what the library looks like
what you do there
and explain why you like this library.
点题 There is a library near to my home where I like to go. It is called the Peoples' Library.
地点 It is located on First Avenue near Main Street. It is a very new building and has some beautiful urban sculpture standing on the grounds around it. The library has many floors. Each floor has different
sections.
介绍 The firs time I went there I had to have a lot of help to find things but now I feel like it is my second home. When I go to the library I feel like I am leaving a lot of my worries and cares behind me, even if I have to go there to do some research or to study. I think that is because I know I can always find a quiet, private place where I can read or do my work. And sometimes if I want to travel to a different place or a different time, I can do that in the library by finding a book or something on the computer that will take me into another world.
活动 I am particularly interested in this library because it has a lot to offer. Besides having a good stock of books, it also provides office facilities such as a good copy machine, a book binder, many computers and printers, and much more. And it has very good service too. If you need a book in another library it will obtain that book for you by either shipping it from the other library or purchasing the book.
