雅思口语part1在整个口语考试中是Z简单，也是准备起来Z轻松的一部分。但是很多同学往往会觉得简单，就掉以轻心，并不会多花时间在part1话题的练习上。

事实上，part1是给考官留下第YI印象，所以需要认真对待。

Part1问题分为两部分：

Background information:

比如：name, hometown, accommodation, work/study, the area you live in.

General topics:

比如：dream, mirror, taking photos, art, lost and found, daily routine, time management, etc.

很多同学的回答思路是这样的：

Q:Could you please tell me your full name?

A: My name is Nora.

Q: Where are you from?

A: China.

Q: Do you live in a house or a flat?

A: Flat.

Q: Are you working or studying?

A: Studying.

Q: Do you like drawing?

A: Yes, I do.

Q: Do you have a lot of free time?

A: Yes, I do.

Q: What do you usually do in your free time?

A: Eat and sleep.

.......

这个回答存在的问题显而易见的，Saying too little.

考试毕竟是考试，是一个有评分标准的唠嗑，考察的是口语的表达能力。所以一定要拓展自己的回答，尽量说得稍微长一些。那我们如何拓展呢？

注意以下步骤：

Step 1：Direct answer.

Step 2: Give: reasons, examples, and/or detailed info.

Step 3: Feeling. （如果你前面说的足够长，这部分是可以不说的）

我们来试着练习一下上面的话题：

Q: Could you please tell me your full name?

A: My name is....you can also call me Nora. (detailed info)

Q: Where are you from?

A: I’m local, born and bred. My hometown is located in the central part of China, and it’s the capital city of HN province, it’s a dynamic city, yeah.(detailed info)

Q: Do you live in a house or a flat?

A: well, uhm, I live in a flat with my parents right now. It’s not that spacious enough, but definitely warm and cozy, and I can always get a great sense of belonging from it. (detailed info)

Q: Are you working or studying?

A: well, I’m about to graduate from ***university, I major in.....personally, I’m really passionate about this major, and I plan to study in ......next year.(detailed info)

Q: Do you like drawing?

Sample answer 1:

Not really, truth is, I’ve never been a big fan of drawing, and I suck at it (=I’m terrible at it). I find it rather boring and tedious. Honestly, I just can’t stand sitting there for hours. Anyway, it doesn’t appeal to me at all. (reason)

Sample answer 2:

Yeah, I’m really into drawing, it’s one of my favourite pastimes. I’m quite skilled at sketch and oil painting. I started to learn drawing a long time ago. I think drawing is an ideal way for me to let off steam and take my mind off the daily grinds. So I often draw when I feel bored or when I just wanna kick back and relax. (example+ feeling)

Q: Do you have a lot of free time?

A: Not really. I barely have enough free time lately. Coz I’m preparing IELTS recently, and I’m pretty tied up with my academic studies every single day, which leaves me with no choice but to stay at home and attend a lot of classes, so I hardly ever have enough leisure time.(reason)

Q: What do you usually do in your free time?

A: Well, there are a lot of interesting things I normally do in my free time. Like having a get-together with my friends, having a short-distance traveling, going for a spin, going camping, hiking cycling, things like that. It always feels amazing chilling out with friends. (example+feeling)
