一月份的口语题part 1中出现了一个让人特别抓狂的新话题 — mirror，各位烤鸭们是”对镜贴花黄“的喜悦，还是”魔镜，魔镜告诉我“的无助呢?

让Tracy帮助你抹去脸上的一缕忧愁吧。

How often do you look at yourself in the mirror every day?  

先同大家安利part 1的答题技巧，步直接回答考官所问问题，然后利用相关信息进一步扩展答案。比如这个问题，首先以频率的表达方式来回答how often，接下来针对相关信息，在这里Tracy同大家推荐照镜子的各种活动，如下：

check my physical appearance before going out of the house

出门前整理仪容；

↓

do personal grooming rituals, like shaving or applying makeup

剃须或者化妆等梳洗打扮；

↓

take mirror selfies showcasing my new haircut or outfit

自拍来展示新发型或新衣服

所以一个完整答案可以是这样：

At least once a day, especially every morning. Because I need to check my physical appearance from head to toe before going out of the house which is actually part of my daily routine.

Have you ever bought mirrors? 

针对这个问题，Tracy为大家安利功能类镜子的词汇。

plane mirror  平面镜

vanity mirror  梳妆镜

cheval mirrors  穿衣镜

swing arm mirrors  摆臂镜

Yeah, I ever bought a swing arm mirror which was mounted on my bathroom wall. It is my favorite type for the reason that both the mirror and the arm are adjustable depending on my personal needs: I could move the mirror up or down to get a better look.

Would you use mirrors to decorate rooms?

接下来为大家推荐一些装饰类镜子decorative mirror和相应效果。

wall mirror — create the illusion of more space, make the room look spacious and airy;

leaning mirrors — a great way to occupy a boring blank space; to reflect some nice furniture.

Frankly speaking, I didn’t use mirrors as decorative pieces cause I am not an expert. But I know someone who incorporated a leaning window in his home to reflect something appealing, like a nice vase, artwork or a piece of furniture.

这样看来是不是觉得mirror这个话题也没有那么可怕。

祝各位烤鸭早日同雅思分手！
