雅思口语话题：smoking The nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If you smoke, you hurt your lungs and heart each time you light up. It also can make it more difficult for blood to move around in the body, so smokers may feel tired and cranky. The longer you smoke, the worse the damage becomes. The Other Cost of Smoking Using tobacco eats up a lot of money, too. A pack of cigarettes costs $4, on average. That means, even if you buy just one pack a week, you'll spend $208 in a year. Some people smoke a pack a day, which adds up to $1,460! That's a lot of CDs, computer games, and clothes. 雅思口语黄金素材:Films 词汇库： 电影词汇： film industry 电影工业， cinema, pictures 电影院 (美作:movie theater)，premiere 首映式， film festival 电影节，distributor 发行人，release 准予上映 banned film 禁映影片，A-certificate A级， U-certificate U级，X-certificate X级 genre n. 类型, 流派， type n. 类型 direction 导演，production 制片，adaptation 改编，scenario, screenplay, script 编剧，scene 场景，exterior 外景，lighting 灯光，shooting 摄制，to shoot 拍摄，special effects 特技，slow motion 慢镜头，editing, cutting 剪接，montage 剪辑，recording, sound，recording 录音，dubbing 配音，studio 制片厂,摄影棚，(motion)film studio 电影制片厂，set, stage, floor 场地，properties, props 道具，scenery 布景， script 剧本， movie-land (美国California州南部等的)影业集中地区，movie-goer (常)看电影的人 电影类型词汇： film, motion picture 影片,电影 (美作:movie)，filmdom 电影界，moviedom 电影界 literary film 文艺片，musicals 音乐片，newsreel 新闻片,纪录片 documentary (film) 记录片,文献片，comedy 喜剧片，tragedy 悲剧片，horror film, dracula movie 恐怖片，swordsmen film 武侠片，action 动作片，detective film 侦探片，ethical film 伦理片，affectional film 爱情片，erotic film 黄色片，western movies 西部片， serial 系列片，dubbed film译制片，trailer 预告片，propaganda film宣传片，animated，cartoon (movie)动画片，science fiction科幻片，costume piece /play古装戏， war movie战争片 footage 影片长度，full-length film, feature film 长片，short(film) 短片，colour film 彩色片 (美作:color film)，silent film无声片， silent cinema, silent films 无声电影，sound motion picture, talkie 有声电影 有关演员词汇： cast 阵容，director 导演，film star, movie star 电影明星，film actor 男电影明星，film actress 女电影明星，star, lead 主角，double, stand-in 替身演员，stunt man 特技替身演员，extra, walker-on 临时演员，support 配角，util 跑龙套，extra 特别客串，costume designer (影剧)服装设计员，makeup girl化妆师，dialogue writer对白作者，script writer剧本作者 一些女演员： Angelina Jolie安吉丽娜·朱莉, Julia Roberts朱莉亚·罗伯茨, Sharon stone莎朗·斯通, Monica Bellucci莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，Jodie Foster, Kristen Dunst, Sandra Bullock, Zhang Ziyi章子怡，Michelle Yeoh杨紫琼，Maggie Cheung张曼玉 一些男演员： Brad Pitt, Nichols Cage, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Bruce Wills, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fat Chou（Chou Yun Fat周润发），Jet Lee（李连杰）, Samuel L.

You can take our livers, but you’ll never take our freedom. 你可以夺走我们的生命，但你永远也拿不走我们的自由！ ——Brave Heart《勇敢的心》 This car, Goeth would have bought this car.Why do I keep the car? Ten people by that, ten people, ten more people. This pin, two people. This is gold, two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one.

We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests…..you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution.

We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive.” Today we celebrate our independence day! 人类这个词,一天赋予了我们全新的意义.大家别在为小的分歧而耗神,应为我们共同的利益团结起来…你们要再次为自由而战,不是抵抗暴君压制和迫害,而是为生存而战,为我们生存的权利而战……而是全世界用同一个声音宣布 “ 我们不会束手无策,静坐代毙.我们将会活下去,我们将会生存.”的日子.今天,我们庆祝独立日! ——Independence Day《 独立日》
他扮演的毛泽东表演特别出色。 I can’t recommend the film too strongly. 无论我怎样竭力推荐这部影片也不嫌过分。 The best-known movie awards are the Academy Awards. 最著名的电影奖是奥斯卡金像奖。 The movie is going over big everywhere in China. 这部电影在中国大受欢迎。 This film is a big flop at the box office. 这个电影的票房很失败。 His last play bombed on Broadway. 他最近在百老汇演出的那场戏失败了。 It is the best film that I have ever seen. 这是我所看过的最好的电影。 The picture isn’t so good, but it’s enough to get by. 这个电影不是很好，但还可以看。 This movie is a must-see. There were some beautiful shots. 有几个很美的镜头。 The movie last night was a real tear-jerker. 昨晚的电影真是催人泪下。 We plan to take in a movie. 我们计划去看场电影。 I'm his fan。 我是他的影迷。
去看场电影怎么样?
汤姆·汉克斯演阿甘。 Ted has been stage-struck since he was a little boy. The “crouching tiger and hidden dragon” directed by An Lee, a movie describing Chinese Kung Fu has been the hottest movie in USA. 由李安导演的一部描述中国功夫的“卧虎藏龙”曾经是美国最火爆的影片。 He had a tight clutch on my arm during the scary parts of the movie. 看到电影中的可怕镜头时，他紧紧地抓着我的手臂。 My brother often worried when he saw the leading role is in danger. So he was just so devoted. 当我弟弟看到主角遇到危险他总是非常担心。他太投入了。 Special effect makes films exiting. How can the flood reshow in real life? Through effect-making, you can fully see the flood in the movie as if it happened near you. 特技效果使得电影更加精彩。在现实生活中，我们无法让洪水重新出现。通过特技效果处理，你会仿佛感觉到洪水就在你身边。 Some scenes in the films are so destructive that it is impossible for the directors to put them into reality. To provide the audience with equivalent shock, they resort to special effects. Some people enjoy seeing movies in the cinema because they like the incredible video effect or great audio effect. Professional facilities or equipment make them enjoy high-quality films. 很多人喜欢在电影院里看电影，因为他们喜欢出色的影音效果。专业的设备使他们享受高质量的影片。 Americans films are mainly good at marvelous scene or touching/ impressive background music, while Chinese films prefer to show what the real life looks like in the society. 美国电影以恢宏的场面和动人的背景音乐见长；但中国电影善于表现现实生活。 There is a large investment for American films, and there are a lot of big scenes for American films. However, Chinese films are likely to be instructive, and directors hope that audience can learn something after watching the films. His looks are always funny． 他的样子总是滑稽可笑。 Many of the first films were slapstick comedy. This movie was all blood and guts. This film contains raw language(粗口，脏话). Harry Potter: Harry has a distant goal to get to, he has enormous numbers of obstacles placed in front of his and monsters who he has to face, and challenge and overcome and bewitchments which he has to resist, and all the time, pressing onward towards his goal. In some way, Harry Potter is a modern Odysseus. 哈里·波特 哈里有遥远的目标要实现，面前有无数的障碍，有要面对的怪物，要克服的挑战和要抵抗的诱惑，要一直奋力朝目标前进。从某种意义上来说，哈里·波特正是一个现代的奥德修斯。 Using myths and legends from all over the world, J. K. Rowling has created a world of her own, an enchanting realm magically unites children worldwide. J. K. 罗琳（《哈里·波特》的作者）运用全世界的神话和传说，创造出了一个自己的世界，一个将世界各地的儿童神气地联系在一起的迷人领域。 "Casablanca" has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years. It has aged well and will continue to age well. It takes time for a movie to be earning the label "timeless." Forrest Gump This is a modern day fairy tale demonstrating that love, dignity and perseverance conquer all. “Forrest Gump”runs the viewer through the entire spectrum of emotions as it tells the story of a slow thinking innocent kid traversing through five decades of life. 玩具总动员Toy Story Disney began making quality family shows again in the 1980s. A quality family show is one where the parents can enjoy it as much as the kids. "Toy Story" took it one step further and added state of the art technology to provide a wonderful Disney story. We all have wondered if our toys came alive, but we never knew that there would be so much team work. Another genre that had been unsuccessful for years was the slapstick comedy. This story, Home Alone, about a little boy protecting his home from bumbling crooks had all of the right ingredients; good vs. bad, youth vs. age, and brain vs. brawn. The Rube Goldberg like contraptions coupled with the comedic talents of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci provide an entertainment that had almost become a lost art form. The film, Dances With Wolves, was able to break the trend and deliver a compelling historical drama about life with the Sioux Indians. The buffalo hunt is spectacular and demonstrates the vastness and beauty of the country. E. T. was directed by Steven Spielberg. 《E. T. 外星人》是由史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格导演的。 E. T. was first shown in 1982. Spielberg got to make the story of E. T., one that still over 20 years later is reaching out and touching audiences. 斯皮尔伯格拍成了《E. T. 外星人》，20多年来这部电影仍让影迷们喜爱与感动着。 The film is set in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century. It is still too early to tell what movies will become classics and what movies will become dated. I’ve been in my movie business almost all my life. 我一生从事电影事业。 Chinese martial art comes together with Hollywood. 中国武术在好莱坞已有立足之地。 This film is rated G. That movie had me on the edge of my seat. That love story was too melodramatic. A lousy movie cannot fool the audience. I may feel different about any of these movies two years from now. There are films revealing more social problems, such as racial or * discriminations, government corruption, the true color of so-called higher class. They make me more mature after watching them. Those comedies, love stories and adventures are either na?ve or unrealistic. I usually watch films through TV or VCD, DVD in my home. Just like romance and comedy movie, a violent film relaxes and entertains millions movie fans. However uniqueness of violent movie is that it may have negative impact on people, particularly young audience. For certain segment of audience, it may be harmful if being viewed without proper guidance and control. There have been cases of crime in which offenders, when surveyed, revealed that they got the idea to commit a crime from violent movie. We need to control access of violent movies to people under certain age and offer guidance to young viewers. What's the main difference between modern films and those in the past? Okay, I think that modern films are less serious, um, because there is more comedy in these films. I would say, uh, hmm, that modern films are more relaxed. To begin, modern films are much more expensive to make and they have famous actors in them. There is also, uh, a lot of slang and violence and other cultural attributes in these pictures. As for the more classical pictures, they are classy and the actors and actresses dress more conservatively and there spoken, uh, English is more classic and proper. Older films teach values that all humans should have whereas, hmm, the newer films are just sometimes more about making money and people famous. In my opinion, I like the newer films better because, uh, overall they are just much more entertaining and the hmm, the older films are maybe, I guess, more about art and teaching. 附：美国名片片名 Casablanca·1943 北非谍影；喀桑布兰卡 The Godfather·1972 教父第一集 Gone with the Wind·1939 乱世佳人；飘 The wizard of Oz·1939 绿野仙踪 The Graduate·1967 毕业生 Schindler’s List·1993 辛德勒的名单 It’s a wonderful life·1946 风云人物 Star Wars·1977 星际大战；星球大战 All About Eve·1950 彗星美人 Chinatown·1974 唐人街; 中国城 One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest·1975飞越疯人院 2001: A Space Odyssey·1968 2001太空漫游 E.T.

What’s your favorite? My nephew is a baseball player. He is a catcher. When you played football, what position did you play? We played a game last night. The score was tired six-to-six. I went to a boxing match last night. It was a good fight. When I was on the track team, I used to run the quarter mile. I like fishing and hunting, but I don't like swimming. My favorite winter sport is skiing. I belong to a ski club. Would you be interested in going to the horse races this afternoon? The hardest thing to learn is to be a good loser. Be a good sport. Play according to the rules of the game. Our family went camping last summer. We had to buy a new tent. This afternoon we went to the gym for a workout. We lifted weights. My muscles are sore from playing baseball. Jogging early in the morning has improved her health. 清晨慢跑增进了她的健康。 He was catching his breath after the 1000 meter race. 1000米赛跑结束以后，他累得气喘吁吁。 I’ve had no exercise for ages；I’m really out of condition. 我已好久没锻炼了，现在健康状况欠佳。 Swimming is the best way to tone up your body. 游泳时最佳的健身方法。 He has few peers in pennies. 他打网球少有对手。 I like playing basketball and badminton. 我喜欢的篮球和羽毛球。 Did you watch the football game between Manchester United and Arsenal last night? 昨晚你看了曼联队阿森纳的足球比赛了吗？ The Sidney Olympics attracted more than one million new travelers into Australia. 悉尼运动会吸引了大约一百万旅游者到澳大利亚。 He is a big fan of the NBA games. 他是NBA的铁杆球迷。 African athletes are good at track and field events. 非洲选手擅长田径项目。 The annual school sports meet is held in March. 年度校际运动会在三月份举行。 我已经在屋子里闷了整整一个星期了。 I’ve been cooped up in the house for the whole week. 我们到外面呼吸一些新鲜空气吧。 Let’s get out for some fresh air. 我感觉得出去走走了。 I feel I have to get away from it all. Walking up and down the stairs would beat any exercise machine.上下楼梯可比什么健身器都要好。 狂欢 painting the town red. I've got to start working out． 我必须开始做健身运动了。 She runs everyday in order to lose weight.她每天都跑步是为了减肥。 Going swimming should be a good way of letting your hair down after a hard day’s work. 游泳是在辛苦了一天后放松自己的好办法。 People not only keep fit or keep a good shape through doing more physical exercises, but also make many friends who have the similar interests. When I attended a basketball club, I knew my current best friends, Tom. 人们不但可以通过作更多的锻炼保持健康和好身材，他们也能够交到志同道合的朋友。当我参加篮球俱乐部的时候，我认识了我现在最好的朋友，Tom。
保持健美——或者保持匀称的身材——通常是美国人新年新计划中高居前面的一项。过去20年来，健美已蔚为风尚。很多美国人加入健身俱乐部，使用专业的设备做运动。运动商品店里售有各种运动项目所需的运动鞋和服装。人们甚至买哑铃和训练的设备，在家里设置专属的运动中心！ President Bush has always loved the game of baseball. Mister Bush says that when he was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a baseball player. He said the game taught him to develop a strong resistance against critics. He said it also taught him to rise above minor problems and work instead on long-term goals. If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong. 如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵袭体弱的人而不是强壮的人。 Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team. 运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。 China is called “table tennis kingdom”. Apparently, Ping Pang is the most popular sports. 中国被称为“兵乓王国”。很显然，乒乓球是最受欢迎的运动。 It depends. It’s lovely for an individual to spend time on what he or she prefers to do, but if he or she is too addicted, it might lead to excessive waste of time. 人们将时间花在他们喜欢做的事情上是很美好的。但是如果他太上瘾了，就容易过度的浪费时间。 In 21st century, more people concerns their physical health and when they are free, physical fitness is supposed to be their best choice. So I believe that the corresponding training like aerobics and yoga gets superheated. 在二十一世纪，更多人们关心身体健康。当他们有空的时候，体育健身应该是他们最佳的选择。因此相关的培训比如：一些有氧舞蹈课程、瑜伽课程将会变得非常火爆。 Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life. 健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买。然而，只要一个人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的乐趣。 In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are—nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise. 为了保证良好的健康，我们必须注意三件事情。它们是营养食物，新鲜空气和正当运动。 Physical fitness and exercise are important for good physical and mental health. Exercise helps a person develop and maintain a strong self-image and a sense of emotional balance. As a person gets older, exercise becomes more important because after age 30 the heart’s blood pumping capacity declines at a rate of about 8 percent each decade. Exercise is also important for children. Vigorous physical activity helps a child’s overall development. Research shows that exercise can reduce the gathering of cholesterol on artery walls of children and adults. Too much cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease. There is, however, no evidence that exercise prolongs life. Former athletes do not live longer than nonathletes, nor are they saved from heart disease. The benefits of exercise cannot be kept for more than a few months or years without continued exercise. Even Olympic-level athletes will go back rapidly to pre-training levels once they stop exercise. The amount of activity necessary for fitness varies from person to person. Age, physical structure, health, and gender are important factors. 世界各国的“为足球痴狂”的情况： Soccer becomes part of European culture. To meet the fans in the stands at football games across Europe. |
