2018年9月8日雅思口语机经话题预测及范文

　　Snacks

　　1.What is your favorite snack?

　　My favorite snack would have to be baozi. I think in English you would call them steamed buns or dumplings. They're delicious and best of all, they're cheap! They are served all over the place so you can pick a bag up on-the-go and you can get all sorts of different fillings. My personal favorite is pork with white cabbage.

　　2.What kind of snack is popular in your country?

　　China has a wide range of snacks, some savory and some sweet. I think they are very specific to our country and sometimes to the local region you are in. In Beijing the pastries from Daoxiangcun are very popular. They are eaten by locals, but are also bought as souvenirs by visitors.

　　3.When do you usually have snacks?

　　I tend to eat 3 main meals a day, but I also like to graze on snacks in between meals. I've gotten into the habit of having elevenses, which I picked up from a foreigner I used to work with. It usually involves a cup of tea or coffee, with a cake or some biscuits at around eleven AM.

　　4.What are the benefits of having a snack?

　　I find that snacks perform different roles depending on when I have them. A mid-morning snack is an excuse for a little break and can be a bit of a pick me up if I'm feeling sleepy. A snack in the afternoon keeps my hunger at bay and helps tide me over till dinner.

　　5.Who prefer snacks, men or women/ the young or the old?

　　I think women wouldn't like to admit it, but they probably snack more than men. It isn't necessarily always snacks that are bad for you, I think they also eat more fruit between meals. As for the young or old, I think young people must snack more, partly because there are more snacks aimed at young people, but also because I think young people eat more than old people in general.

　　7. Foreign food

　　1. Have you ever tried foreign food?

　　Certainly, and I do so pretty often actually. With how interconnected the world is, we get to learn more about cuisines from other cultures, and there are a lot of restaurants around to help satisfy that curiosity or desire. Within walking distance of where I live, I can name a handful of Japanese, Korean, Thai, and general Western restaurants.

　　2. Do you like to try new food?

　　While I'm no foodie, I'm definitely open to trying new dishes or different cuisines. It’d be boring eating exact same thing over and over again, and I’d miss out on so many exotic flavors and experiences. Admittedly it does come with the risk of encountering something you really don't like, but that's part of the experience.

　　3. What kinds of new food have you tried recently?

　　The most recent genuinely new food I tried was vindaloo, a kind of Indian curry dish from the Goa region. It's a dish of pork marinated in wine and garlic, served together with curry and rice. To be honest, the spices and especially the chilliness was too heavy for my tastes, so even though it was nice, I probably won't make a habit of ordering it.

　　4. What kinds of foreign food are popular in your country?

　　I can't be certain, but just going by the frequency I see their restaurants, I'd say Japanese and Korean food are the most popular foreign foods in China. It certainly makes sense; their cuisine shares some similar basics and roots with Chinese food, but evolved with different influences, so are generally agreeable and suit our tastes pretty well, while having their own unique style.

　　5. Do you like any food from the countries near China?

　　I'm a big fan of Japanese food, especially some of their more meticulously prepared dishes that are as much visually appealing as they are tasty. Sashimi for example shows the skill of the chef in carefully preparing and arranging fish, and the simple taste of raw fish dipped in soy sauce and possibly wasabi has a surprising amount of depth, and is very enjoyable.
