2017年雅思口语模拟试题：陌生人谈话

　　示例范文：Describe an interesting conversation with a stranger

　　1. Do you prefer chatting face to face or texting? 你更喜欢面对面聊天还是打字?

　　Oh, of course I opt for face to face chatting whenever it's possible 'cause communicating this way I can express my feelings and ideas much better, minimize the risk of miscommunication and be sure my message is heard. Talking face to face I can also get an immediate feedback, which is often really important. Though sometimes I prefer texting, for example in situations where other means of communication are not possible or appropriate like during meetings, classes and seminars or when I don't want others to hear what I am saying.

　　2. Do you think women chat more than men? 你觉得女性比男性聊天更多吗?

　　Well, mostly yes as it's women's nature to chat a lot to overcome monotony. Women are more emotional than men and whenever they get some information or ideas, they immediately want to share them with everyone. One more reason why women talk more than men is the fact that they want connection and closer relationships with others. Though, I can also say that in many cases who talks more depends on the individual or context of the conversation. So, it depends.

　　3. Why do some people prefer to tell secrets to strangers? 为什么一些人更愿意和陌生人说话?

　　Oh, I think because talking to strangers can be less embarrassing as people feel less judged by them. What is more, such people are usually not preoccupied with how strangers are viewing them, how this will affect their relationship and so on. They are also not concerned about stranger's gossiping about their secret. Or maybe they like sharing secrets with strangers 'cause they hope to see a new perspective with their help and, as a result, find some solution.

　　There can be lots of reasons, I guess.

　　4. Why are social networking websites so popular nowadays? 为什么如今社交网站这么受欢迎?

　　Well, I think, first of all, because they have the ability to connect people and keep them engaged with friends, family, colleagues and people they want to be friends with. They also attract so much attention because they give people a voice letting them present themselves, their beliefs, ideas and opinions and this wav help them in establishing their brand online. One more reason I see is the fact that social networks allow users to create groups which let likeminded people share their interests and hobbies; as allow them to become informed aspects of people, companies, news and other things of interest in a way that convenient, efficient and fast.
