各位烤鸭们好，在这篇文章里TeQ教你如何回答blingbling的雅思口语话题—jewelry！

废话不说，直接上题。

1. Do you often wear jewelry?

2. Have you ever sent some jewels to others?

3. Why do some people like to wear jewelry?

4. What sorts of jewelry are the most common to see in China?

1. Do you often wear jewelry?

答题思路：

Answer + how often + description + reason

题目分析：

经常不经常戴首饰？大家都各有各的答案，如果你经常戴首饰，你的答案开头句当然是Yes。为了让答案更加的饱满，我们需要加很多的details。我们可以说喜欢戴什么样的首饰，首饰的来源，经常戴的原因是什么。

首先，普及一下jewelry的常见种类和材质

首饰种类 －

necklace项链

pendant吊坠

ring 戒指

earrings耳环 (clip-on earrings夹式耳环, drops坠落式耳环, studs耳钉, dangles吊饰耳链)

band手带

bracelet手链

bangle手镯

brooch胸针 

charm手链上小饰物 

anklet脚链

材质－

agate玛瑙

diamond钻石

crystal水晶

sapphire蓝宝石

ruby红宝石

freshwater pearl淡水珍珠

turquoise绿松石

gold-plated镀金

sterling silver纯银

18k gold / silver-plated镀银 

rose gold玫瑰金

stainless steel不锈钢

来源 －

可以说是朋友送的，可以是自己在哪里买到的纪念品(souvenir)，或者传家宝（family heirloom）

原因 －

可以说很喜欢，出门必戴wear it before leaving house或者有些场合需要戴首饰need to dress up and put my jewelry on for some special occasions 或者戴上感觉很好，很幸运feel good wearing it, it brings me luck.

参考答案：

Yes. I have a nice amount of jewelries, which were given to me by my grandma. The one that I wear fairy often is a brand new necklace that has a lot of crystals on the pendant in a sterling silver chain, which is so gorgeous that I like to wear it everyday and I feel good wearing it.

当然，也有烤鸭们不会戴首饰，觉得戴首饰是女生的事（girl’s matter)， 也可以说不喜欢戴首饰的原因。

参考答案：

No, I am not the one to wear much jewelry, as I hate anything tight around my neck, wrists or fingers. More importantly, I wear mostly hang-around clothes during the day, which certainly does not call for any accessories.

2. Have you ever sent some jewels to others?

答题思路：

Answer + description of the jewelry + to whom + reason

这个题比较容易了，沿用了上一个题准备的首饰描述方法。

参考答案：

Yes, I have. I remember  last month I gave a rose gold bracelet with aquamarine to one of my roomies on her birthday , which is the birthday stone to her. I was delighted to see that she pretty liked it.

如果没有送过首饰，你可以说自己不是特别擅长这个方面(not an expert at doing sth.) 原因有很多种，可能是因为首饰普遍很贵(pricy, can’t afford)， 也可以说不太知道别人的喜好，很难送(don't exactly know their preferences, hard to send a suitable / right one for them)

3. Why do some people like to wear jewelry?

答题思路：reasons＋effects

日常生活中会有很多人戴首饰，慢慢你们会发现这些人戴首饰的原因有很多。我列举了四种，例如：

1，有的人是为了追求时尚（ make a fashion statement）可以搭配衣服，或是吸引别人注意。

Some young people wear jewelry just for fashion, as it can complement their outfits and significantly improve their overall look. Or they would like to draw attention from a mate.

2，当然，有的首饰是体现一个人的身份和地位的。

A piece of jewelry that looks expensive is a sign of one's status. 例如虎眼石就是一个权威的标志（tiger’s eye is a symbol of power and evinces strength.）

3，还有些人是因为宗教信仰。

Someone who believes in a particular religion may believe that the piece of jewelry protects them or wards away evil spirits.

4，还有人戴首饰就是为了记住某个人，或者某个特殊的经历。

Jewelry can also remind us of a special person or experience. We wear it to keep a memory fresh in our minds.

4. What sorts of jewelry are the most common to see in China?

答题思路：classify + reason

在part1中有时也会出现不是问personal information的问题，就像这个题。像类似这种题，我一般会建议分类去答,然后借鉴着上一个题的reason可以补充完整。

参考答案：

Well, I suppose that necklaces and earrings are more likely to be worn by ladies, because those jewelries make them look stylish and beautiful. While,  jewelry with gemstones are welcomed by men, as these jewelries are not too girly for them, also gemstones are usually a sign of one's status.

祝各位烤鸭们顺利通过雅思考试！
