  • I study best in the afternoon because that’s when I feel most awake and focused.

4.How do you usually spend your day when you’re studying?

我会在早上合适的时间起床（不太早也不太晚），如果没有课，我会用早上的时间整理前一天的笔记。我还喜欢和朋友一起去咖啡馆复习学习资料。到了晚上，我会更仔细地看笔记并记住重要信息。

  • If I don’t have class, I spend the morning organizing my notes from the day before.

5. Do you find it easy to organize your study time?

老实说，有时候挺难的。任务多的时候，不知道先做哪个，很容易被搞得焦头烂额，觉得时间不够用。但列个清单并按重要性和紧急程度安排时间会有所帮助。

  • Honestly, sometimes it can be hard. When I have a lot of tasks to do, it’s difficult to decide which ones to do first.
  • I can get overwhelmed and feel like I don’t have enough time.
  • But it’s helpful to list everything and organize my time based on importance and urgency.

  • My laptop is a must when I study. I use it for taking notes, researching, and watching online lectures.
  • It’s super convenient to have everything organized in one place.
  • I also use my phone for quick searches and setting timers to keep me focused and on track.
  • And sometimes, I’ll also use noise-canceling headphones to block out distractions and make it easier to concentrate.

Topic3 Home

1. Do you live in a house or an apartment?

我现在住在大学附近的一间公寓里，只有两个卧室，但挺舒适的。而且这栋楼是新建的高层，能看到很好的城市景观。

  • Right now, I’m living in an apartment by my university.
  • It’s not that big; it only has two bedrooms.
  • But it’s cozy enough for me.
  • Plus, the apartment is part of a newly developed high rise.
  • It has a really nice view of the city.

2. What is your favorite room in your home?

我最喜欢卧室，那里是我花时间最多的地方，摆满了我喜欢的书，装饰也是我自己选的，真有“家”的感觉。有一个能让我放松、舒缓心情的空间很重要。

  • My favorite room in my home is definitely my bedroom.
  • I think it’s where I spend most of my time.
  • It has all my favorite stuff in it, like my books, and I got to decorate it myself.
  • That really makes me feel at home – literally!
  • It’s important to have somewhere you can blow off steam and just relax.

3. What things make your home pleasant to live in?

我觉得让我家温馨的关键在于我的装饰和个性化布置。加上一些我喜欢的颜色，挂上我喜欢的海报或艺术作品，让整个空间更有我的风格。这些小细节营造出温暖、舒适的氛围，让待在这里更加愉快。

  • I think what makes my home feel cozy is the way I’ve decorated and personalized it.
  • Adding colors I love and hanging up posters or artwork I enjoy really makes the space feel personal.
  • These little touches create a warm, welcoming vibe that makes spending time here so much nicer.

4. What kind of house or apartment did you live in when you were a child?

我小时候住在郊区的一栋平房里，房子不大，我和父母只是刚好能住下，但这也让家更温馨。我记得我们家里摆满了很多古典家具，给整个房子带来了很好的氛围。后来我们搬到了公寓，但我一直怀念我们的第一个家。

  • When I was a kid, I lived in a bungalow in the suburbs.
  • My parents and I barely fit into it, but that just made it cozy.
  • I remember we filled our home with lots of antique furniture.
  • It gave the house a nice atmosphere.
  • We moved to an apartment later, but I always missed our first home.

5. Do you prefer living in a house or an apartment in the future?

我特别想住在一座远离人群的大房子里。虽然听起来有点孤单，但如果家人也在的话，那一定很棒。没有邻居打扰，隐私也会很受保护。而且如果环境好的话，晚上可能还能看到满天星星，景色一定很美。

  • I’d really love to live in a big house in the middle of nowhere.
  • It might sound a little lonely, but I think having a family there would be awesome.
  • You would have tons of privacy because you don’t have any nosy neighbours.
  • And if it was somewhere nice, you could probably have a great view of the stars.

6. Do you think the place you are living at right now is suitable for a family with children?

我觉得适合。我住的社区很安全，离一所很好的小学不远，附近有很多家庭。我从很小的时候就搬到这里了，这里还有很多漂亮的公园，非常适合孩子玩耍。

  • Yes I do think so. I believe my neighbourhood is fairly safe and I live around the corner from a great elementary school.
  • It’s a top-notch school district. So there are a lot of families with kids in this neighbourhood already.
  • I moved here when I was a child myself. There are also beautiful parks near the neighborhood which are awesome for kids.

7. Do you think the place you are living at right now is suitable for elders?

不太适合。我住在一个陡坡上，离商店什么的也不近，附近学校的交通和孩子的喧闹可能会让老人感到不便。虽然如果他们愿意住这里应该也能适应，但我认为能有更好的选择。

  • No. I live on a steep hill and I’m not too close to any stores.
  • I would worry about elderly people being able to navigate the neighbourhood safely, as the school nearby creates a lot of traffic on weekdays and the loud kids may become a nuisance.
  • If an elderly person decided to move here, I’m sure they would make it work, but I think there are better alternatives.

Topic4 Hometown

1. Where is your hometown?

My hometown is Tianjin, which is a municipality in northern China. I really love it because there are tons of amazing attractions in the city, and the people living in Tianjin are very warm and friendly.

2. Do you like your hometown?

  • Yes, I do. I’m from Tianjin, which is a municipality in northern China.
  • It’s famous for its unique blend of modern and historical attractions, like the Eye of Tianjin and the Five Great Avenues.
  • Every year, tons of visitors come to experience its charm.
  • I love playing tour guide and showing friends from other cities around these iconic spots.

3. Did you learn about the history of your hometown when you were at school?

  • No, we didn’t really cover my hometown’s history in school.
  • Our history classes focused more on national and global events, so local history didn’t get much attention.
  • Most of what I know about my hometown actually comes from family stories or things I’ve looked up on my own.
  • Anyway, I think it would’ve been nice to learn more about it in school.

4. What is your hometown famous for today?

我的家乡以很多事物闻名，但现在最出名的应该是温泉。总是有大量游客来我家乡泡温泉，很多去过的人在网上留下好评，使得温泉越来越受欢迎。

  • Well, my hometown is well-known for many things, but right now, I think the most famous feature is
    the hot springs there.
    There are always tons of tourists coming to my hometown for a hot spring bath.
    A lot of people who’ve been there give glowing reviews of the hot springs on the internet, which make them more popular.

5. How long have you lived in your hometown?

我从出生起就在家乡生活，从没想过要离开，因为我所有的社交圈都在这里，生活成本也低。不过，我也想在外地工作几年，开阔一下视野。

  • I’ve been living in my hometown since I was born. I’ve never thought about leaving my hometown because my entire social circle is there and the cost of living is pretty low.
  • However, I also want to work in a different city for a few years to broaden my horizons.

Tpoic5 Daily routime

1. Do you prefer to go to bed early or late?

我更喜欢早睡。我是个习惯早起的人，喜欢一大早就起床，这样能让我感觉充满活力，对接下来的一天充满期待。不过，这也意味着我需要早点睡觉，确保早上不会太疲惫。

  • I prefer going to bed early. I’m a morning person, which means that I like to get up at the crack of dawn.
  • It makes me feel energetic and excited forthe rest of the day.
  • But it also means that I need to go to bed at a decent time so I’m not too tired in the morning.

2. What do you usually do in the mornings?

老实说，我不太喜欢早晨，所以通常会在床上多赖一会儿，刷会儿社交媒体，等自己更清醒一点。然后我会洗个澡、穿衣服、吃早餐、刷牙，确保自己看起来整洁后开始一天的生活。

  • Well, mornings really aren’t my cup of tea, so usually I stay in bed for a while and scroll through social media until I feel more awake.
  • After that, I take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, and make sure I look put together before I start the day.

3. Do you like to do the same things every weekend?

不，我喜欢变换一下。如果每个周末都做同样的事情，我很容易感到无聊。有时候这一周我会跟朋友出去玩，下一周可能就会选择待在家里享受一下安静的时光。生活需要一些变化才有趣。

  • No, I like to switch things up.
  • If I do the same thing every weekend, I find that I get bored very easily.
  • So one weekend I might go out with my friends, and then the next weekend I’ll stay at home and enjoy some quiet time.
  • It’s good to have variety in your life.

4. Will you change your daily routine in the future?

是的，未来我的作息肯定会有所变化。现在我还是学生，但等我开始全职工作后，每天就要早起了。现在没有课的时候还能多睡会儿，但以后就不能这样了。

  • Yes, my daily routine will definitely change in the future.
  • Right now I’m in school, but when I get a full-time job I’ll have to get used to waking up early every day.
  • I can sleep in when I don’t have class, but I won’t be able to do that anymore.

Topic6 Mirrors

1. How often do you use a mirror?

我并不是特别注重外表的人，所以不常照镜子。当然，出门前我会检查一下自己看上去是否得体，但不会花太多时间对着镜子看自己。

  • Well, I’m not a vain person.
  • I don’t really like looking at myself in the mirror very often.
  • Of course, I’ll check to make sure that I look okay before leaving the house.
  • But I don’t spend a lot of time looking at my own reflection.

2. Would you buy clothes without checking yourself in a mirror?

不会，其实我喜欢试衣服的时候照镜子，这样能看到衣服是否合身。看看颜色是否适合自己的肤色也很重要。照镜子可以帮助我决定是否要买那件衣服。

  • No, actually I like to look at the mirror when I try on clothes.
  • It’s important to see if the clothes fit my body right.
  • It’s also good to see if the colour matches your skin tone.
  • Checking my reflection helps me decide if I should buy the clothes or not.

3. Have you ever bought a mirror?

是的，几年前我买过一个小的便携镜，方便外出时快速照一下。我还买了一面高大的复古镜放在房间里，看上去非常有格调，我很喜欢这面镜子。

  • Yes, I actually bought a small compact mirror a few years ago.
  • It’s helpful for when you go out and
    you want to quickly check your reflection.
  • I also bought a tall antique mirror for my room.
  • It looks so fancy.
  • It’s a very classy mirror that I really enjoy.

4. Do you think mirrors are a good way to decorate a room?

绝对是的。我喜欢房间里有镜子，尤其是大镜子。我觉得镜子能让房间看起来比实际更大。另外，镜子可以反射光线，让房间更明亮。

Yes, definitely. I love having mirrors, especially big ones in my bedroom. I think mirrors can make the room feel bigger than it actually is. Besides, I love how mirrors make my room brighter since they reflect light instead of absorbing it.

Topic7 Dreams

1. How often do you remember your dreams after you wake up?

我通常睡得很踏实，所以不常记得自己的梦。不过，如果梦是特别生动或吓人——尤其是那些完全不现实的梦——我往往会记住。比如有次我梦到被蛇追赶，感觉特别真实，醒来后还一直在想这个梦。

  • I usually sleep pretty well, so I don’t remember my dreams that often.
  • But when I have a particularly vivid or scary one—especially something totally unrealistic—I tend to remember it.
  • Like once, I had this dream where snakes were chasing me, and it felt so real that I couldn’t stop thinking about it after waking up.

2. Do you like hearing about other people’s dreams?

其实不太喜欢。梦通常比较私人，所以除非是特别有趣或者和我们都熟悉的事情有关，否则我不会特别在意。不过，如果是亲密的朋友分享一个有意义或有趣的梦，我还是会乐于倾听
并讨论一下这个梦可能代表的含义
Not really. I’m usually not that interested in hearing about other people’s dreams. I mean, dreams are usually pretty personal, so unless it’s especially funny, or somehow relevant to something we both know, it doesn’t really grab my attention. That said, if a close friend shares a dream that has some emotional meaning or a funny twist, I might actually enjoy hearing about it and talking about what it could mean.

3. Do you think dreams can have special meanings?

是的，我认为在某些情况下，梦境确实有特殊意义。它们可能反映了人们的恐惧或愿望。比如，很多学生在考试季会梦到考试不及格。另外，有些人会梦见发财或和心仪的人结婚。这些类型的梦往往具有很强的暗示性。

  • Yes, I think that in some cases, dreams have special meanings.
  • They may represent people’s fears or desires. For example, many students have dreams about failing exams during finals season.
  • Besides,some people have dreams of becoming rich or marrying someone they have a crush on.
  • Those types of dreams can be very revealing.

Topic26 Evening time

1. What do you usually do in the evening?

我通常会在晚上放松一下。白天我一般都很忙，所以晚上放松一下感觉很不错。我喜欢通过读书或刷社交媒体来放松。有时候如果有足够的精力，我也喜欢和朋友们一起出去玩。

  • I usually try to unwind in the evening.
  • I tend to be really busy in the day, so it’s nice to kick back and relax.
  • I like to do that by reading a book or just scrolling through social media.
  • Sometimes I like to hang out with my friends if I have enough energy.

2. Do you spend your evenings in the same way on weekdays and on weekends?

不，平时和周末的晚上我通常会有不同的安排。平时晚餐后我会看一会儿电视然后睡觉，而周末我会尽量和朋友们一起出去玩，喜欢尝试新餐厅或去唱 K。这样改变一下我的夜生活感觉很好。

  • No, I usually spend my evenings differently during the week than I do on the weekends.
  • On weeknights, I make dinner for myself and then watch some TV before going to bed.
  • On the weekends, I try to go out with my friends. I like trying new restaurants or doing karaoke.
  • It’s good to vary my evenings like that.

3. How did you typically spend your evenings when you were a child?

小时候我喜欢让妈妈给我讲故事，听完后会很放松，也容易入睡。有时我也会自己编小游戏来玩，大概因为我小时候很有想象力，喜欢自娱自乐。

  • When I was little, I liked to have my mom read a story to me.
  • It was really calming and it helped me
    fall asleep.
  • Other times, I liked to make up little games to play by myself.
  • I think it was just because I was an imaginative kid.
  • I liked to entertain myself.

4. Is there anything you don’t like to do in the evenings?

我真的不喜欢晚上打扫卫生。下班回家后通常都很累，所以我只想自己做点吃的然后放松。要在精力不多的时候打扫卫生真的很烦人，所以我一般会留到周末去做。

  • I really don’t like to clean in the evenings.
  • When I get home from work, I’m often tired from the day.
  • So I just make food for myself and try to relax.
  • Having to clean when I don’t have much energy is really annoying.
  • So I try to do that on the weekends.

Perfume

Do you like perfume?

我小时候住在郊区的一栋平房里，房子不大，我和父母只是刚好能住下，但这也让家更温馨。 我记得我们家里摆满了很多古典家具，给整个房子带来了很好的氛围。后来我们搬到了公寓，但我一直怀念我们的第一个家。
Yes, I really love perfume. Wearing perfume often makes me feel more confident, as a beautiful scent can enhance personal charm and leave a lasting impression.

Well, I think perfume is nice, but it’s just not something I’m into personally. I do appreciate it on others, though.

Do you use perfume?

Yeah, I use/wear/apply it pretty much every day. It helps me feel refreshed and confident throughout the day.

No, I don’t use perfume. It’s not really my thing. I just rely on my natural scent.

Where do you spray perfume?

I apply it every morning, usually my wrists and neck before heading out to ensure the scent lasts longer throughout the day.

I don’t actually wear any, so I don’t have a specific place to spray it. But if I did, I’d probably spray it on my clothes/wrists ……

Do you send perfume to others as a gift?

Actually, I’ve never given perfume as a gift. I think it’s a great idea, though—maybe I’ll try it in the future, like for a friend or someone special.

Do you spend a lot of money on buying perfume?

Not too much. I don’t buy it too often since a bottle lasts a while.

No, I don’t spend anything on perfume. I guess that’s one area I save a bit of money.

Meet new friends/people

Do you like making friends?

我并不是很喜欢结交新朋友，因为我性格比较内向。我有几个从小一起长大的好朋友，我觉得这对我来说已经足够了。现在我更专注于学业，所以对结识新朋友没有太大的兴趣。
I don’t really like making new friends because I’m quite an introverted person. I have a few good friends that I’ve been with since childhood, and I think that’s enough for me. Right now, I’m more focused on my studies, so I’m not really interested in making new friends.

Did you make a lot of friends when you were a child?

小时候，我有很多朋友——有些是同班同学，有些是邻居。我们经常一起玩户外游戏，比如踢足球或者骑自行车。这是结识新朋友的好方式，那时候我真的很开心。有些朋友我至今还保持联系，但有些已经多年没说过话了。
When I was younger, I had a ton of friends—some were classmates and some were neighbors. We used to play outdoor games like soccer or riding bikes together. That was a great way to meet new people, and I had a lot of fun back then. Some of those friends I still stay in touch with, but others I haven’t spoken to in years

Have you made any new friends recently?

I haven’t made any new friends recently because I’ve been really busy at school. Since I’m in my junior year, I have a lot of exams to prepare for, and my regular study load is pretty heavy. Besides, I’m studying for the IELTS, so I just don’t have much time to go out and socialize. That’s why I haven’t made any new friends.

因为我现在是大学三年级，作业和考试准备很多，而且我还在备考雅思，所以有很多事情要做
Since I’m in my third year of college, there’s a lot of homework and exam prep, plus I’m studying for the IELTS, so I have a lot to get done.

What do you often talk about with your new friends?

通常，当我交新朋友时，我喜欢分享一些关于我以前学校的事情和我的一些经历。我会谈谈最近看过的视频或读过的书，通常还会分享我的兴趣爱好或对未来职业机会的看法。
Generally, when I make new friends, I like to share a bit about my old school and some of my experiences. I’ll talk about videos I’ve watched recently or books I’ve read, and I usually share my hobbies or thoughts about future job opportunities.

Do you like meeting new people?

No, I don’t really enjoy meeting new people. Like I said, I’m pretty introverted, so I prefer spending time with my old friends or just being by myself. Meeting new people feels like a hassle because you have to reintroduce yourself, and it takes time for others to really understand who you are. So, I’m not really into meeting new people.

Where can you meet new people?

Well, since I’m a university student living on campus, I meet new friends through clubs or when I take part in events and competitions, like basketball or volleyball games. That’s where I can connect with new people. And Of course, if I travel, I might meet other travelers or locals too.

Do you enjoy talking to new people?

I’m not a big fan of talking to new people because I often struggle to start a conversation or know what to say. Since we’re not that familiar, it’s hard to find common ground, and sometimes we don’t have anything in common at all. That’s why I don’t really enjoy chatting with new friends.

Do you meet new people more often now than in the past?

Actually, I don’t meet new people as often as I used to. These days, the pressure from my studies is pretty intense, so I spend most of my time focusing on schoolwork, especially with IELTS prep. That leaves me with little time to socialize. Back when I was in elementary, middle, or high school, the academic pressure wasn’t as heavy, and I used to go out and join extracurricular activities a lot, which is where I met new friends. So now, I definitely don’t meet new people/see friends as much as I did back then.

swimming

Do you like swimming?

是的，我喜欢！游泳是放松和锻炼身体的好方式。
我都尽量找机会去游泳，尤其是在夏天炎热的时候，既清爽又是避暑的好方法。
Yes, I really enjoy swimming because it’s a great way to relax and get a workout at the same time. I try to swim as often as I can, especially during the summer When it’s hot outside. It’s refreshing and provides the perfect escape from the heat.

我小时候学游泳时有些吃力，
尤其是学习呼吸和漂浮，
但多练习后就变得自然了。
现在我真的很感激自己有这个技能。

It can be a bit challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it gets a lot easier. I remember struggling a bit as a child, especially with breathing and floating, but after some practice, it started to feel natural. Now, I really appreciate having that skill.

Where do people in your country like to go swimming?

我认为大多数人会去全年开放的公共游泳池，
这样任何时候都能游泳，
而且费用也比较实惠。
也有一些人选择去健身中心的泳池，
那里环境和设施更好，
比如温度控制的更好，
消毒也更

I think most people go to public swimming pools which are open year-round. It’s easy to swim anytime, and the fees are pretty affordable. Some also choose to go to pools at fitness centers, where the environment and facilities are better, like temperature control and more thorough sanitation.

What’s the difference between swimming in the pool and swimming in the sea?

在海里游泳有些不可预测，会有海浪，水流也更大，让人感觉更冒险。相比之下，泳池水面平静，更适合游泳锻炼，不用担心海浪的干扰。我觉得两者各有乐趣，但海泳更清爽，让人更贴近自然。

I feel like the difference between swimming in a pool and in the ocean is that swimming in the ocean is more exciting—it’s deeper, and the open water makes it feel a bit more thrilling. In a pool, though, you feel safer, and it’s generally a bit more secure.

Swimming in the sea is a bit unpredictable, with waves and currents that make it feel more adventurous. In contrast, pools are calm, so it’s easier to swim laps and practice without worrying about waves. Both are fun in their own way, but the sea is just more refreshing and connects you to nature.
