2019年5-8月雅思口语part2话题：历史建筑
Describe a historical building you have been to
You should say:
Where it is
What it looks like
What it is used for now
What you learned there
And how you felt about this historical building
关于历史建筑这个话题，考生刚开始会觉得能够准备的内容太少，不过关于历史建筑，除了旅游景点，名人故居，还有很多历史建筑是你生活中出现的，比如有着200年历史的小学，古老的办公大楼。
这里需要注意时态问题，因为是去过，时态上注意是过去时。另外，历史建筑不能是一个地点，而是建筑物本身。
介绍建筑物时，如果内容单调怎么办?可以多准备一些套路官话，比如：这里是我们当地著名的地标建筑哦，出了火车站就看到了，或者本身火车站就是个著名的景点。又比如：这个建筑已经有_X年历史了，我爸爸的爸爸的爸爸小时候就在这里玩过。又比如最后说一句：这座古老的建筑和我所生活的城市绑定在一起，共同经历这岁月的洗礼，希望他能陪着我的下一代共同成长。
相关小贴士：作为口语话题还是要尽量随意点，不要出现建筑物的具体身高，比如6层楼高就可以了，否则很容易考官觉得你是提前做好准备的。不要出现：这个建筑始建于1987年……你可以说大约20世纪末这样，毕竟口语话题不是背出来的。
此外关于建筑类的相关词汇和表达，要自己准备好，不建议用生僻的词汇，要尽量贴合自己的水平的词汇，保证词汇丰富度即可。比如建筑风格，建筑材料，建筑外墙设计等等。
地理位置：这座建筑建于……，在_X附近，周围有……
建筑风格与材料：这是早期_风格的建筑，很有当地特色，外墙_，内部是_结构
来自小站雅思君的雅思口语part2话题思路拓展：说到这个话题，让我想到我的小学，一个具有70年历史的小学，这个小学很小，在我们镇的市中心。学校的教学楼一共有6层，每层5个教室，2间办公室，2间厕所，建筑外墙是古老的红砖墙，朝南的大阳台，因为建筑物很古老，所以我们的夏天是没有空调的，当然也没有电梯，所以高年级的学生需要每天爬楼，经常可以看到迟到的学生气喘吁吁地爬楼。
据说这座教学楼原本是一个废弃的医院，后来小镇上的人多了，便将这里改成了小学，附近的居民都把孩子送到这里上学。因为隔音不好，有时候楼上的脚步声会传到楼下，楼下的讲课声在楼上也能听到。
最近一次去小学参观还是10年前，这里毕业了一批又一批的学生，他们有的离开了这里，有的留在这里做老师，我们曾在这里欢笑，在这里大声朗读，这里的每一段时光都让人怀念。

The central Bank building is the one that really impressed me. I was then almost 17 years old when I first this building and I still remember that I became amazed watching and wondering about it.
10-15 stories building are quite common in our town but the 75 storied central bank building is really different. Not only it is higher than most other buildings but it also possesses an eye-catchy architectural design which is bound to absorb any one’s attention. From far it will only give you the impression of a futuristic mega structure but if you observe the building from nearby, you will see the real beauty of it.
It looks like every inch of it has been drawn before building it. This building is a fine piece of architecture that prominently announces its presence. When I looked at the top of this building I got the impression that it is endless and has made its way over the sky. The long round clock in from of this building ticks twice to let the city dwellers know its presence.
This central bank building is situated near the National Museum of the city. From a far away, it looks like a pathway to the sky and from nearby it seems like a massive yet beautifully designed architectural building.

Is it important to conserve old buildings? Why?
A. The old buildings are the representatives of the history. They tell the past stories of thousand years and let us know about different issues like how they lived, how their living styles were, what they did, what sort of construction style they had and more other necessary information. If the historical buildings are not preserved, people will be unable to learn about their pasts. It is important to know about the origin, the forefathers and the past in order to live with dignity. If the important buildings are not preserved, the national history will go under oblivion. Moreover, the young generation of a country will be unaware of its history and the greatness of the nation. Usually, the old buildings contain the relics and people develop their idea over their past which is another cause for preserving the old establishments.
Is the history useful for the coming generations? Why?
A. History is always useful. It teaches us different important lessons and most of the people who have succeeded in life have taken their learning from the history. So, history is also useful for the coming generations. It may happen that they are in some sort of trouble and if they look back in history, they will find that there were some other people who also had the same troubles and got rid in any specific way. Thus, history helps them to get out of any troublesome situation. Moreover, if they are in any critical situations, they could take help of history, but it should be remembered that history does always not refer the events old about 100 years.
What is the difference between houses built in the past and now?
The basic difference between the house of past and current is space. Earlier, the houses were made more spacious and covered large spaces to be built. But with the increasing population, the houses are made in small space and the number of houses is on the increase. Moreover, the past houses were designed after different distinctive styles. There were ample spaces for recreation and entertainment for the residents. But in the current days, apartments are being made with lower space and even at times they do not have proper walking space in the staircase. Earlier, the houses covered horizontal space but now they are vertical.
What are the differences in sizes of houses? Why?
The house sizes are different for various reasons and the top most cause is the increased population around the world. To meet the demand of the growing population, the house sizes are becoming small. Currently, it is almost impossible to build a house covering a large space for the living of a family in a comfortable manner rather the large space could be used to build apartment blocks or residential towers that could house several families instead of one family. Accommodation is one of the greatest challenges in the coming days and already people are experiencing the problem in different cities of the world.
Do you prefer a big or a small house? Why?
I prefer living in a big house because the environment of a big house is comfortable. The houses are made in such manner that light and air could pass easily. Moreover, the houses allow the people exercising some hobbies (I like gardening) and if there are spaces, the residents could make gardens before the house which will increase the beauty of the house. But if it is a small house, the options are rare. Moreover, the architectural style of the big houses is usually very attractive and good looking which attracts me more. But the small houses are made commercially to accommodate people, not to exercise their hobbies.
2月雅思口语地点类热点难题分析——历史建筑
? Describe an important historical building in your city?
You should say
Where it is?
What it looks like?
What it is used for
And explain how you feel about it?
Sample answer:
I was born and raised in Shanghai, as you know, a metropolis and international city like Shanghai doesn’t have many historical building compared to many ancient cities in China. But there is still one important historical building also a tourist resort that is worth mentioning, “ Peace Hotel” which is located on the west side of the Huangpu River. If you have the chance to spend a night in this hotel, you will be able to enjoy a feast of views of the enchanting Huangpu River and the astonishing light show from the skyscrapers in the Lujiazui financial center on the other side of the river. The Peace Hotel itself is both a multi-functional modern hotel and a historical building. The seemingly forlorn appearance from outside doesn’t belie its profound and elaborative nature as well as a period of a turbulent past it represents. “The Peace Hotel” is suited on two sides of the road, on the north side is the new Peace Hotel and on the south side is the old Peace Hotel which is nowadays merely an exhibition gallery and museum. The “ Peace Hotel” still remained the most famous hotel and restaurant in Shanghai. In its past, it used to be the only residence for those foreign ambassadors and celebrities. Say like General George Marshall, Charles Chaplin and George Bernard Shaw, ect. The highlight of the Peace Hotel is its stylish Jazz bar its Jazz band. Back in 80’s, it used to be the place where numerous of political and governmental heads enjoy themselves while one of the most famous Asian jazz band playing their classic jazz music. For me, I think the “Peace Hotel” is the hotel where you can trace back to the olden days and embrace the vintage feeling of the old shanghai, meantime, you will find yourself blended in and being a part of these golden memory.
? Do you think that the architecture style are the same in your country?
You know, China is melting pot of different cultures so that’s why the architecture style is versatile too. Geographically, the architecture style in different parts of china are quite distinctive. In the north, the architecture style tend to be more like official mansion and building, say like quadrangle, the most famous residence of the folks in north. In the south, the cities is famous for being surrounded by little creeks and linked by stone bridge, people are more likely to live in small houses that is blue and gray.
? Why the architecture style should be the same?
Take an example of the city Paris, the architecture style of which is basically the same and represent an incomparable beauty of symmetry. If the architecture of a city remain in the same style, it will surely leave a deep impression on people from the world. When they think of Paris, they will think of the stylish and parallel style of the building and the yellow-colored appearance of the city. On the contrary, if the city is mixed up with different colors and styles, people will hardly have any precise impression of it and the only word come to their minds when they try to recall their travel memory of it ,is “Chaos”
? Should the government supervise the architecture style? Why?
I think It’s really a tough question. On one side if the government or the relevant ramifications do nothing to lead to trend of the architecture style and let people to build whatever in their own ways, we will definitely witness a chaotic and asymmetric building style of the city. On the other hand, controlling and supervising the way people choosing their architecture style is not fair for the free willingness and democracy of the folks. From my perspective, I think the government should at least supervise the most symbolic and outstanding constructions and buildings of a city, espeicially in the downtown area, cuz they represent for the style and rhythm of such city. But for the rest of the buildings in the residential or rural area, I think people have rights to decide their own style.
