雅思口语高频话题：SthYouWouldLiketoLearn

来自：查字典高考网 2014-12-25

Describe something that you dont know but would like to learn.

You should say

what it is you would like to learn

why you want to learn this

how you would learn it

who you would ask to help you learn this

and explain what difficulties you think you might have learning this.

I would like to learn knitting, which is called the new yoga. It is very relaxing and is the perfect hobby for our busy, stressful, 21st-century life.

I think its just a fashionable hobby with women in their 20s and 30s. because Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Madonna all knit, they lead the way. I always see people knitting in coffee shops, hairdressers, bookstores. They knit wherever and most of time they even knit through lunch break.

Time issues and safety things. I come back from work, mad and stressed almost every day. Im not sure if I will get around to do it. Its hard to believe that something you enjoy doing could potentially be painful, but when it comes to knitting, for some people there is such thing as too much of a good thing. I heard the needles are always sharp, fingers getting pricked is awful. Also, I cannot imagine sitting for long periods in the same position. Posture must be important in this way.

Anyway,I believe i can overcome all the difficulties and, after I start knitting, I will be really into it and find myself totally relaxed.Knitting helps me clear my head and start fresh, slows down my heart and lowers my blood pressure. Hopefully one day, I can knit wonderful purses and scarves, which is very romantic and colors my life.

Part3 Questions:

Do you think computers are useful for teaching skills to children?

I teach both online and face to face and I dont think a computer can replace a teacher completely, but it can do a lot of useful work for learners. The fact that they can access things when they want for free gives them advantages that were simply not possible until very recently. however, the biggest advantage to me is not the computers ability to serve up tests and references, but the ability to put people in touch with other people. Things like forums make it possible for learners to ask what they want, when they want and to get answers from all over the world, which is only possible through the Internet.

Do you think computers can completely replace teachers.

Never... For example, computers will never teach students the intuitive critical thinking skills that come from taking liberal arts courses, nor will computers teach students how to be good scientists, journalists, businesspeople, etc. Computers simply allow people who have already developed their job and life skills to access information faster and compute quicker. A good scientist is a good scientist, whether or not she has access to a computer, and likewise with almost all other professions.

Do you think it would be good to increase the use of computers in education and, as a result, reduce the amount of face-to-face interaction between teachers and children?

A teacher is nothing more than a guide or coach who is meant to train you how to look up the answers for yourself. A computer can not guide you, and you still need to learn how to use the computer properly to discount the incorrect answers that can be found. Remember, Garbage In Garbage Out. With a computer there is always room for error. A teacher is supposed to show you how to do it for yourself, or lead you to finding your own answer.

Tips：

Garbage In, Garbage Out: (abbreviated to GIGO) is a phrase in the field of computer science or ICT. It is used primarily to call attention to the fact that computers will unquestioningly process the most nonsensical of input data and produce nonsensical output.

Garbage In, Garbage Out: 是电脑上的用语，意为无用（错误）信息输入；无用（错误）信息输出，缩写为GIGO。这是在资料处理上一个十分著名的理论，这个理论强调的是，电脑系统只能对有意义的输入资料处理，产生有意义的输出，无论电脑的能力多强，假使输入电脑当中的资料是垃圾(指错误的资料)，则输出来的必定是没有用的资料。也就是说，假如输入一堆乱七八糟的东西到电脑里，那么结果就也是乱七八糟的。这个词来也经常用来形容学生入学和毕业时的素质，听起来还真是有点可怕
