雅思口语肯定很多烤鸭都被问过一个问题：What’s your favorite film/book？对不对？？

Film和book也真是雅思口语喜欢考的话题，相关的Part 1 问题一大堆，Part 2也不少，比如墨尔本无忧雅思口语机经库里收录的V51142001 A Book You Read Recently，V51142008 A Film You Dislike，etc. 还有很多看似无关的问题也可以扯到书籍和电影上来，例如问你的爱好，你闲暇时光喜欢做什么等等。

那么在说书籍和电影时有哪些可以用的词汇和表达呢？赶快跟无忧小雅哥结合实例来学习一下吧~

Part 1-style questions

Examiner: Do you like to read books?
Candidate: Yes … I love reading … I like nothing more than to beengrossedin a good book … I regularly takeoutbooks from the library and usually readthemfrom cover to cover in no time … and I can’t go to sleep at night without some good bedtime reading …

be engrossed in 全神贯注的做某事

take out a book from the library 这可不是偷书的意思啊，而是从图书馆借书的意思

read sth. from cover to cover 从封面看到封底，也就是说看一本书从头看到尾的意思，是不是很形象呢？

bedtime reading 睡前阅读

Examiner: How often do you go to the cinema?
Candidate: Unfortunately we don’t have a cinema near us so we have to go into the nearest town to catch the latest movie … I usually avoid seeing popular box-office hits which I’m not always keen on seeing … I prefer low-budget films … sci-fi especially … and there’s a great cinema I go to that has frequent showings of films like these …

catch the latest movie 看最新上映的电影

box-office hit 票房大片，指票房爆棚的热门电影

low-budget film 低成本电影

sci-fi 科幻（science-fiction）

Examiner: Do you prefer reading books or watching films?
Candidate: I’m not really a big reader … I find books quite heavy-going … so I much prefer to see a film … perhaps it’s the special effects or the soundtrack … I don’t know … I just prefer a film …

a big reader 爱看书的人，看很多书的人

heavy-going 缓慢的进程，艰难的过程

special effects 特效

soundtrack 音轨，背景音乐

Part 2-style task

Describe a book you have read or a film you have seen. You should say:

what this book or film was

when you read or saw it

why you decided to see the film or read the book

and say if you enjoyed it and why.

Candidate: I like reading … especially English novels … it’s a great way to improve your vocabulary and there are so many fantastic authors to choose from … one book that came highly recommended by my teacher was The Mayor of Casterbridge … I was studying at a school in The UK at the time and she said it would give me a picture of what life was like years ago in the area I was living … well I have to say I absolutely loved it  … it was a real page-turner … it’s a historical novel and the setting was a fictional town called Casterbridge … but actually it was based on a town near where I was studying called Dorchester … it had such a great plot … to cut a long story short it tells the story of the downfall of a man called Henchard the central character who lives during a period of great social change around the time of the industrial revolution … the reason I enjoyed it so much … apart from the great story … it gave me a picture of what life had been like in the place I was studying at the time … I really couldn’t put it down … a fantastic story …

to come highly recommended by 某人强烈推荐某事

a real page-turner 让你停不下来翻页的书，形容书非常精彩吸引人，让你停不下来一直读

historical novel 历史小说，演义

Part 3-style questions

Examiner: Is reading as pleasurable in digital format?
Candidate: Personally I prefer reading a paperback or hardback … especially if I’m reading a classic which I don’t think feels right as an e-book … but I can see it can be good for others … my grandmother has an e-reader and she loves the way you can enlarge the text …

paperback 简装书，平装本

hardback 精装书，精装本，硬封皮的书

 a classic 经典作品

e-book 电子书（electronic book）

Examiner: Do you think bookshops will survive the digital revolution?
Candidate: I think so … at least I hope so … I love flicking through books in a bookshop … online shopping is useful … finding out on Amazon if a book you want has got a good review … maybe getting one that is difficult to find … but I still love the experience of being in a bookshop  …

flicking through 浏览，快速翻阅

review 书评，影评

Examiner: Statistics show that visits to the cinema are up despite the availability of DVDs and online downloads. Why do you think this might be?
Candidate: I think it’s the whole experience that the cinema offers … going out to see a film when it goes on general release … and seeing it on the big screen is more exciting than watching the film at home on TV … especially if it’s an action movie … and watching it with others makes it even more special …

to see a film 如果是在电影院看电影，就用see做动词

go on general release 公开发行，公开上映

on the big screen 大荧幕上，电影荧幕上

watch the film 如果是在电脑、电视上看电影，则用watch做动词，而不是see，这点大家需要额外注意！

action movie 动作电影
