2.Yourhometown(Version1)

What5syourhometownfamousfor

一头疼，我们那里没什么有名的呀，那就实话实说呗；如果有，具体说一说就行，比如你们

WhatdoyouIikemostaboutyourhometown

一这个可以说气候，环境，生活方式等(可以和北京进行比较，因为喜欢是相对的)

一可以从交通和城市环境两方面来说。

你为什么喜欢这个运动

Inthefuture,whenyouhavechiIdren,whatsportwouldyouIikethemtoIearn/do

一考察将来时。我又没孩子，我咋知道你可以想象嘛。其实关键不是要让孩子做某项运动，

只要他们爱运动就好。

WhatdoyouthinkisthedifferencebetweenthesportsboysandgirIddo

一考察同类比较的能力。一定要用上连接词whereas/whiIe.

参考：

WhatpIacesdoyouIiketraveIIingto

一旅行目的地大致可以分为：风光秀丽的地方（山，河，湖，海），历史古迹，城市等。

DoyouprefertotraveIaloneorwithothers

一Travelwithothers好说些，因为可以从消除旅途寂寞，彼此照顾，分享快乐等方面说说

原因。如果你真喜欢一个人的话可以用用这个结构（IfIhadthechoice,Tdrather…）.

然后说说理由，同时不要忘了承认一下travelalone的弊端。

DidyouIeavethecityIasthoiiday

一实话实说，也可以telIawhitelie.关键是要说清楚上个假期你都干嘛了。（建议大家准

备一个旅行的故事，在后面谈假期的时候也可以说说）。

Wheredoyouwanttogonexttime

6.FiIms

而说你现在喜欢看什么电影，并解释为什么喜欢这类电影。

Doyouprefertowatchfilmsathomeorinthecinema
