加拿大語言考試雅思口語放松減壓類萬能理由

　　加拿大留學語言考試，我們知道雅思口語考試的Part1部分，基本是圍繞著我們的衣食住行等個人信息來展開提問的，問來問去的核心不過就是我們在生活中做了什么事情，喜歡什么事情，為什么做這些事情，為什么喜歡這樣些事情等。雅思考試

　　每一個人的生活，都可以粗略分為2個部分：1.學習/工作2.休閑娛樂（工作學習之外的活動）

　　那么，凡是我們講到學習生活之外的活動我們都可以用放松減壓這個理由來說明我們做這些活動的感受和做這些活動的原因了。

　　適用題目

　　我們先來看一些本次5-8月題季中的典型相關話題及問題：

　　Meeting places

　　1.Where is your favorite place to meet with your friends?

　　2.Do you think there are some places suitable for meeting others?

　　3.Are there any differences between your favorite meeting places in the present and in your childhood?

　　4.Why are some meeting places better than others?

　　（注：和朋友見面不就是玩樂為主嗎？）

　　Boring things

　　1.What kinds of things would make you feel bored?

　　2.What would you do if you feel bored?

　　3.What was the most boring thing you did when you were young?

　　4.Do you think school is boring?

　　（注：無聊的時候當然不是做一些玩樂的事情來消磨時間嗎？）

　　Computers

　　1.In what conditions would you use a computer?

　　2.When was the first time you used a computer?

　　3.What will your life be like without computers?

　　4.In what conditions would it be difficult for you to use a computer?

　?。ㄗⅲ何覀冇秒娔X很大一部分不是娛樂嗎？）

　　Evening time

　　1.Do you like the morning or evening?

　　2.What do you usually do in the evening?

　　3.What did you do in the evening when you were little?Why?

　　4.Are there any differences between what you do in the evening now and what you did in the past?

　?。ㄗⅲ和砩舷掳喾艑W之后，難道不會做一些娛樂活動嗎？）

　　語料來了

　　確定這個思路之后，我們先來學習一波放松減壓的表達，不要只會說relax and release pressure

　　1.關于工作學習的壓力很大（這是需要放松減壓的原因）

　　exhausted and stressed out

　　After a hard day’s study,I feel exhausted and stressed out…

　　emotionally/physically drained

　　I always feel drained from dealing with people and things at work.

　　at the end of sb’s tether到了某人能忍受的極限

　　When the long work day is over and you are at the end of your tether,watching a little bit of Liziqi really helps. 雅思口語

　　burnout

　　At the end of the day,when all my work is done,I really feel burnout.

　　a lot on sb’s plate(任務/事情特別多)

　　Lately,I feel like I have so much on my plate,a ton of schoolwork,extracurricular activities and college application.I’m literally swamped.

　　be tied up（特別忙）

　　I’m so tied up these days,I don’t even have time to walk my dog.

　　2.關于放松減壓

　　sth.is a stress-reliever(讓人放松的事情)

　　Yoga is such a stress-reliever after a hard day’s work,you should try it.

　　‍sth.renews sb’s energy/recharge sb’s batteries(恢復精力)

　　Lying by the pool in this 5-star hotel is the best thing you can do to renew your energy and recharge your batteries

　　blow off steam/let off steam/get rid of pent up energies

　　Some people may feel boxing is a bit violent,but I find it really helps me blow off steam/let off steam/get rid of my pent up energies.

(注意這個表達只能用在一些相對來說比較劇烈的，發(fā)泄性的活動上，例如體育類，如果是聽歌看電影等舒緩的活動就不太合適用這個表達)

　　重要提示

　　以上的表達可以錦上添花，我們當可以用最簡單的relax來表達放松，也非常好，但是一定要注意避免常見錯誤：

　　1.relax oneself這是一個及其錯誤的表達，一定不能說，切記?。?！

　　可以說sth.is relaxing/sth.relaxes me/relax my arms(legs,neck,back…)

　　2.stressful和stressed分不清楚

　　我們可以說sth.is stressful是說某件事情讓然壓力很大；而stressed是說人自己的感到壓力很大

　　preparing for IELTS is stressful/school is stressful/work is stressful

　　I feel so stressed from working/studying all the time.

　　3.stress和pressure可以加「s」嗎？

　　要看情況：如果只是精神上的壓力，表達這個感受，不可數，不加s；

　　I’m under so much pressure/stress.

　　如果表達偏向于壓力的來源，帶來壓力的各種事情，則可以加s；

　　the stresses of modern life雅思備考

　　the pressures of the outside world

　　重要邏輯鏈

　　最后我們來學一個放松減壓表述的邏輯鏈，同學們基本可以按照這個邏輯鏈去表述做任何活動，以及為什么做這個活動的理由：

　　students have a lot of school workfeel exhausted/stressed out/drainedit is nice for them to do(travel/do sports/play video games…)these activities can help them relax and release pressureget refreshedmore energetic when they go back to study

　　employees have heavy workload/work long hoursfeel exhausted/stressed out/drainedit is nice for them to do(travel/do sports/play video games…)these activities can help them relax and release pressurerecharge their batteriesmore energetic when they go back to work
