2014年英语专八真题听力原文听力原文Part 1, Listening ComprehensionSECTION A MINI-LECTUREHow to Reduce StressGood morning! Today we look at how to reduce stress. As you all know, life always hasstresses, Ur, things which are causing us stress and living without stress is virtuallyimpossible. So, if we have to live with stress, we may as well find out more about what it is,how we can deal with it and so on.What is stress, then? The term was originally used in physicsto describe the force exerted between two touching bodies. That was strictly a termdescribing a physical reaction. Then in the 1930s, a doctor named Hans Selye, S-E-L-Y-E, firstused this term to describe a human’s reaction to a demand placed on it, pleasant or not. Andhe included in this response, things like accelerated breathing, accelerated heart rate, increasedblood pressure, muscle tension and so on.Now, please notice that I said that stress can be pleasant or not, this response can also bepleasant or not. And stress can be both negative and positive.Let’s take a look at positivestress. Positive stress occurrs in a life situation towards which one feels positively, things likeChristmas or getting married are usually positive events, but still stressful,nonetheless.Another example is the pressure in a job can give some people incentive towork and excitement, but it still is stress. Negative stress is what most of us think of when wethink of stress. And negative stress occurs logically enough in situations towards which onefeels negatively. And those examples could be test-taking, a friend’s death and so on. But herea thing to remember is that stress in itself is not hazardous. Rather, the danger is in theindividual’s reaction to the stress. So psychologists have found that if we developappropriate ways to cope with stressful situations, individuals can reduce the physiologicalharm which is caused by stress, or which can be caused by stress. And that’s what I want totalk a bit about today – what are these appropriate ways to deal with stress, how to minimizeany negative reactions.The first thing that most psychologists suggest is to learn torecognize your own stress signals. We all have different types of stress signals, butindividuals should monitor themselves for stress signals, so that they can focus on minimizingor acknowledging the stress before it gets out of control.And common early signs for manypeople include irritability, insomnia, weight loss or even weight gain, smoking, drinking,increases in small errors, all kinds of things that people get which could be an early signal ofstress.You can consider ways to protect yourself when you start seeing these signs coming on. Soyou might decide to withdraw from a stressful situation or reward yourself with equalamounts of low stress activity time. That’s really thefirst important way to deal with stressappropriately. The second important way to deal with stress is to pay attention to your body’sdemands. Most psychologists are finding that a good exercise program, goodnutrition,decreases the amount of stress, or the effect of stress on the body or in the mind. And thisseems quite apparent because exercise can provide a stress-free environment away fromyour usual stresses and it keeps your body busy and preoccupied with non-stressful things.OK, the third thing to reduce stress is to make plans and act when appropriate. What issuggested is that rather than wasting energy on worrying, an individual can direct his or herenergy to plan the steps and act.And often, just the planning of the action helps to reduce thestress, because it reduces the worrying. And also the results of the plans or action may serveto remove or weaken the original cause of the stress. Please notice that I just now said“when appropriate”. And this next suggestion has to do with that idea of when appropriate.The third suggestion was to make plans and act when appropriate, rather than just sit aroundand worry. But the fourth plan, or fourth idea, says to learn to accept situations which are outof your control. These two then go hand in hand. You can make plans and act when it’sappropriate, but when it’s not appropriate, or when it’s impossible, the only way is to learnto accept that some things are unchangeable and out of your hands.So, for example, if you are in traffic, lateness caused by traffic is out of your hands. There’s nosense in getting really crazy about that. If you do so, it only increases your stress to wasteenergy trying to resist what’s inevitable or what can’t be av oided. The last item thatpsychologists suggest is to pace your activities. By “pace”, I mean giving yourself somemanageable tasks to do at a reasonable speed. That is, you go at a speed that you canhandle, break your task into manageable parts, rather than try to deal with the whole task allat once. So, as an example in your lives as students, a whole term paper might feeloverwhelming. But if you say to yourself, today I’m going to the library and gatherresources, tomorrow, I’m going to read three articles,and so on, you’ll have broken this onelarge task, that’s writing a term paper, down into many smaller and more manageable tasks.This will certainly reduce your stress.Ok. Having said all these, I want you to remember that theproblem is not in the stressful experiences themselves. We all experience stress and stressfulevents. The problem is in our reactions to these experiences. And each of us has our own limitsfor stress and our own ways of coping with stress. So long as we have our own appropriateways, stress or stressful situations can certainly be dealt with.Ok. That’s all for today’s lecture.See you next week.SECTION B INTERVIEWDamon: First of all, thank you obviously for yourtime, Angelina. You are now in Iraq. So what is your main aim in this visit? What are you tryingto accomplish while you are out here?Jolie: Well, I came to the region about 6 months ago. I first went to Syria because I work withU.N.H.C.R. and there are 1.5 million refugees in Syria alone from Iraq and while I was there, Iwent inside and met with some internally displaced people. You know, these are the peoplemade homeless because of the war. They are refugees. And this trip is to get a better picture ofthe internally displaced people and to discuss the situation with the local government, with ourgovernment, with the NGOs and with local people, and try to understand what is happening,because there are over 2 million internally displaced people and there doesn't seem to be a realcoherent plan to help them and there's lots of good will and lots of discussion, but just a lot oftalk at the moment and a lot of pieces need to be put together. So, trying to figure out whatthey are.Damon: What kind of sense have you been able to get so far in terms of how severe the crisisis and what actually needs to be done to help out?Jolie: Well, I, in my research before I came here, I looked at the numbers and there are over 4million people displaced and of the 2 million internally displaced, it's estimated that 58 percentare under 12 years old. So it's a very high number of people in a very, very vulnerablesituation and a lot of young kids. So far the different officials I've met with and different localpeople I've met with all have shared concerns and very strongly, you know, they have spokenout about the humanitarian crisis but um, there seems to be a block in. I'm not good at policyand fixing all this and saying what's wrong, but I do know that, for example, U.N.H.C.R. needsto be more active inside Iraq.Damon: How do you think U.N.H.C.R. should be doing?Jolie: Well, I don't have the answers, but I know that this is one thing that needs to beaddressed and solved because there does need to be a real presence here to help count thepeople and register the people.Damon: Do you think that the global community has a responsibilityto address that?Jolie: Well I think the global community always has a responsibility to any humanitarian crisis.And I think it's in our best interest to address a humanitarian crisis on this scale becausedisplacement can lead to a lot of instability and aggression. We certainly don't want that. Alot of people feel it's a little calmer now. This is the time to really discuss and and try to getthese communities back together. But if these communities don't start coming back togetherproperly, if we don't start really counting the people, understanding where they are, what theyneed, making sure the schools are being built, making sure the electricity,the water and all theseneeds are being met and also understanding that a lot of the people that will return are goingto come back to houses that are occupied or destroyed and bombed out. It's going to be a bigoperation to understand the needs, to address it to help people put the pieces of their lifeback together and return to their communities. So it's reallyjust getting the plan together,getting the group together and everybody actively focused on helping the refugees.Damon: What would be the message that you would want to carry out of here back home oreven the message that you would want to get out internationally in terms of what's happeninghere, the refugee crisis, the consequences that could happen in the future if it's not properlyaddressed.Jolie: I always hate speculation on the news, so I don't want to be somebody who speculates.Um but I think it's clear that a displaced unstable population is what happens in Iraq, andhow Iraq settles in the years to come is going to affect the entire Middle East. And a big part ofwhat is going to affect how it settles is how these people are returned and settled into theirhomes into their community and brought back together and whether they can live togetherand what their communities look like, so it does have broad implications.Damon: On a personal level why is this so important to you? You are willing to come here andrisk your life.Jolie: Uh, it was an easy choice to make. I felt I had to come here because it is very difficult toget answers about especially the internally displaced people. It's as I said even U.N.H.C.R. whoI traditionally work with, they are not able to be inside at the moment and so I was veryfrustrated and just getting a bunch of ideas and papers but not knowing what's really going on,so today I'm able to talk to all different people from our government and their government andreally get some answers as to what is holding up the processes to really assist these peopleproperly.Damon: Do you think that you in your position can try to push this process forward but,pressure perhaps on our government?Jolie: To put pressure on our government?Damon: Yes, so try to just put pressure in general create awareness?Jolie: I certainly think creating awareness. I spoke to the officials from our government todayabout meeting our goal, and they still intend to reach that goal. You know there are manydifferent people who can be cynical or say well how are they going to do it, and I will ask themhow are you going to do it and is there some way we can help to ... you know ...Damon: Ok. Thank you, Angelina, for talking to us.Jolie: Pleasure.SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews 1:An Italian cash-strapped budget airline, Wind Jet,has suspended all its flights, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded. At Rome airport, some200 Israeli nationals ─ who had been due to fly to Tel Aviv ─ spent the night at theterminal.Another five flights to destinations across Italy were cancelled as well. Further chaos isexpected as some 300,000 passengers across Italy have booked tickets with Wind Jet incoming weeks. Alitalia, Italy's nationalairline,says it will help Wind Jet passengers to findalternative flights, but only on payment of supplements.News 2:Researchers studying fossils from northern Kenya have identified a new species of humanthat lived two million years ago. The discoveries suggest that at least three distinct species ofhumans co-existed in Africa. The research has been published in the journal Nature.Anthropologists have discovered three human fossils that are between 1.78 and 1.95 millionyears old. The specimens are of a face and two jawbones with teeth. The discoveries back theview that a skull found in 1972 is of a separate species of human, known as Homorudolfensis. The skull was markedly differentto any others from that time. It had a relativelylarge brain and long flat face. But for 40 years the skull was the only example of the creatureand so it was impossible to say for sure whether the individual was an unusual specimen or amember of a new species. With the discovery of the three new fossils researchers can say withmore certainty that Homo rudolfensis really was a separate type of human that existedaround two million years ago alongside other species of humans.News 3:Picasso's Nude Woman in a Red Armchair was covered up at the Edinburgh Airport. The Airporthas reversed its decision to cover up a poster featuring a Picasso nude following complaints.The poster was advertising the Picasso and Modern British Art Exhibition at the ScottishNational Gallery of Modern Art. However, the airport decided to cover the image after severalcomplaints from passengers in international arrivals. After gallery chiefs branded the move"bizarre", the airport has backed down and removed the cover. John Leighton, director-general of the National Galleries of Scotland, said, "It is obviously bizarre that all kinds ofimages of women in various states of dress and undress can be used in contemporaryadvertising without comment, but somehow a painted nude by one of the world's most famousartists is found to be disturbing and has to be removed. "I hope that the public will come andsee the real thing, which is a joyous and affectionate portrait of one of Picasso's favoritemodels, an image that has been shown around the world." An Edinburgh Airport spokespersonsaid, "We have now reviewed our original decision and reinstated the image. And we are morethan happy to display the image in the terminal and we'd like to apologize, particularly to theexhibition organizers, for the confusion."。

2014年下半年雅思听力考试真题分析
2014年下半年雅思听力考试真题分析--结合《剑桥真题》4-9及《官方指南》给出备考建议2014年下半年的雅思考试已经接近尾声，仅余下12月份4场。
本文将对7月10号至11月22号的听力考试机经回忆进行一个全面分析，以期帮助考生明晰最近考试动向，把握最新考试出题脉络，有效进行复习备考。
1.高频话题及场景考点：纵观7月10号至11月22号雅思考试听力真题回忆，section1的场景话题主要为可以归结为三类，服务咨询（健身卡，保险，课程等），求职及租赁（住房，会议场所）。
而《剑桥真题》4-9在本部分的高频话题则为旅游咨询，日程安排，租赁及求职。
经过对比可以看出，租赁及求职两类考频相对稳定，而旅游类这一在《剑桥真题》section1占据最主要位置的话题在2014下半年考试中则降低了比重。
但并不代表这一话题已经不再重要，《官方指南》里8套题目有两套section1仍然涉及旅游（线路，酒店预订），考生在备考时可以综合参考14年下半年考试趋势及《剑桥真题》与《官方指南》三者，着重准备旅游，租赁，求职及服务咨询四大类话题。
在准备过程中，除了话题本身涉及的词汇及常用对话外，也应该多练习section1的重要考点，即数字，日期，邮编，电话，姓名，地名及国籍拼写。
从section2话题来看，14年下半年至目前的所有考试中，地点介绍仍然以8次之多的考频占据着重要位置。
这一点与《剑桥真题》4-9及《官方指南》高度一致，出题点仍然是考察考生对背景知识，日程及地点安排，注意事项等信息的掌握，考生在备考时可有意加强对这一出题思路的感受及体验，以便在正式考试时可以对section2题目走向和安排有一个预判，提高读题和做题效率。
在section3中，“学校学习讨论”则以15次的考频成为14年下半年考试话题绝对的王者。
具体划分，这一话题讨论内容主要围绕作业，选课，论文，报告进行。
笔者认为本部分的命题出发点可以结合雅思学术类考试在留学申请中的作用进行分析。

2014年最新雅思口语模拟卷(4套)
2014年5月-8月雅思口语真题1IELTS speaking test Part 1 questionsWhat is your full name?My name is Jose Miguel VicenteCan I see your ID?Yes, of course, here you are.Where are you from?I’m from Mexico originally, but I’ve been here in the US for about 5 months now.Do you work or study?I’m studying here at th e moment, trying to improve my English so I can stay and go to university here.Is there a park in your area?Yes, there is, quite close to where I live.When did you last visit a park?Just last weekend, I went with some friends and we played some baseball and then had something to eat at one of the stalls there. Then we had some beers and relaxed for about an hour.IELTS speaking test USA Part 2 questionsDescribe an important letter that you have received. Please say:- When did you receive the letter?- Who was it from?- Why was it important?Last week I received a letter from my bank back home. It was originally sent to my mother’s house, my home address in Mexico, and she forwarded it on to me here.The letter was important because it explained about a change in the password system for the online banking portal associated with my bank account. The bank explained that they are going to change the method of accessing the virtual banking platform at the end of this month and the purpose of the letter was to outline the new procedure bank clients will need to use in order to get access to the facilities the platform offers.Before the end of the month I will have to access the online site using my old password and then follow the instructions to update my access authorization so that I can continue to use the site in the future. IELTS speaking test USA Part 3 questionsWhat does ‘effective communication’ mean to you?Effective? It means that the communication, whatever it is, explains the message clearly and tells the person receiving it what to do, if anything, and how and when to do it. If it is effective, then it will be clear, logical and the recipient should have no further questions or need to clarify any points – unless their circumstances are maybe out of the ordinary. What do you think about the use of pictures in communication? They’re great –things like infographics can help explain ideas and concepts or display data in a much more accessible way for many people – pictures can also be quicker in terms of getting a message across rather than having to try and explain all the details in words so that everyone understands the same idea. With a picture there is less chance of misunderstanding.How will communication change in the future?Well, I suppose there are a number of ways which we can already envisage on the horizon. Google is launching its Glass which will change how people communicate.Personally, I think that we’ll adopt using voice messages more in the future as opposed to sending text messages –simply because it’s quicker to record a quick message than text someone. But if some smart person came up with a way of sending picture messages – sort of like asuper advanced emoticon message – I guess that would be probably be instantly popular with a lot of young people.And of course there may be even more advanced technology introduced which we aren’t aware of at the moment –or it’s still in the very early stages of being developed. It’s a bit like trying to imagine a smartphone before cellular phones were even invented - almost impossible to imagine the concept, but anything could be possible in the future.2014年5月-8月雅思口语真题2Melbourne.What is your full name?It’s Simone JavarovichCan I see your ID?Yes, here’s my passport.Where are you from?I come from Bulgaria originally, but I’ve been living here in Melbourne for the last six months.Do you work or study?I’m a student at the moment. I’m studying English. I used to work as a research analyst in Bulgaria.Are you a morning or an afternoon person? Why?I suppose I’m more of a morning person, probably because I like to wake up very early and do things while I feel fresh and when the day is new. In the afternoons I tend to feel less energetic, in fact sometimes I feel positively lazy, so I definitely prefer mornings.Did you enjoy your high school? Why?Yes, I suppose I did. I had a lot of good friends and some good teachers so it was a good time for me, although like many people I didn’t like doing the exams at the end of the year.What was your favourite subject? Why?I used to like history because it was about something different from the real world outside, if you know what I mean. It was like looking through a window into a different place and learning about the people at that time. What subject learnt in school was helpful later in life? Why?I could say all of them really. I mean, learning logical thinking through math, how to research things in history and write essays and reports and stuff like that are all skills that I’ve used in my adult life.IELTS speaking test Melbourne, Australia | Part 2 questionTalk about a historical building in your country or city that you know. Please say:∙What and where is it?∙When was it built? Why?∙What is it known for?I’d like to talk about a building near where I grew up as a child…it’s called Assen’s Fortress. It’s about two kilometers away fromAssenovgrad where I spent a lot of my childhood. That’s why I know it quite well. The fortress is located on a very steep ridge which overlooks the Assenitsa River. It was named Assen’s fortress by the local people following the national liberation of 1878. There is one special building within the fortress which is a church… it s name is Sveta Bogoroditsa Petrichka and it was c onstructed in the 12th century… and I believe it’s now on the world heritage list of historical buildings because of its cultural and national importance.The original fortress on the site was built by the Thracians as a stronghold for protection some time during the 5th - 4th centuries B.C. and it was a very busy and important site during the Roman and Byzantine eras. When they excavated the site they managed to uncover the walls of the fortress, the feudal lord’s castle and also some water reservoirs. The church though was the only building on the site which was really well preserved.It has two levels, or floors, with a large dome with a cross on top and a wide antechamber… it’s a structure a bit like a porch, as well as a large square belfry located above it.This church is famous in Bulgaria because of its incredible architecture,the decoration of the south facade, which was done using plastic, and also because of the remains of some unique 14th century murals.I like the building because when I used to visit it I could imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago when people used to live there, and the view is quite impressive also.IELTS speaking test Melbourne Part 3 questionsIs it important to conserve old buildings? Why?Personally, I li ke old buildings and history so for me it’s a good idea to protect and preserve them. We can learn a lot about our history from the buildings of the past and it’s fascinating for children to see how people used to live many centuries ago. They are a very important part of our national culture and heritage.Is the history useful for the coming generations? Why?If people are interested in it, then it can be useful, yes. You can learn how the world was in the past, which countries had wars with each other and how and why cities developed where they did… and many other interesting things. Without history we wouldn’t have any sense of belonging to a place as people.Maybe people many years in the future will look back at us in the 21stcentury and be amazed at the things we did and how we lived. They’ll probably have more than just buildings to study… they’ll be able to see cars, TVs and all the other things which make up life for us at the moment...so yes it could be useful for them as a way to understand what was happening in the world.What is the difference between houses built in the past and now?I suppose the main difference would be the type of materials used to construct them. Old houses used to be built using stone and they were also bigger than most houses built today. Most of the houses were built simply as somewhere to provide shelter and a degree of comfort. Nowadays, houses are built with a lot more planning and technology involved. They are designed to be energy efficient, use recyclable raw materials or eco-friendly resources and are designed to optimize space and their impact on the environment as well as provide a comfortable place for people to live.What are the differences in sizes of houses? Why?In general, I believe that houses today are smaller than houses which were built centuries ago. We also tend to build more apartments in cities than houses in the country so the size is quite different from before. Even large houses nowadays take up less space than a large house centuries ago.Do you prefer a big or a small house? Why?I like to have space, but it doesn’t need to be an extremely big house. I live in an apartment here in Melbourne at the moment and it’s really nice. I share with two other students and we each have our own room, there’s a kitchen and two bathrooms, a living area, a utility room and a balcony with a nice view. Really, that’s big enough for me. I wouldn’t want to live in a really big house, even if I could afford to buy one – but I wouldn’t want to live in a reall y small house either. Like I said, I prefer some space… I don’t like feeling cramped.2014年5月-8月雅思口语真题3Part 1 IELTS speaking testWhat is your full name?My name is Assieh TuraniCan I see your ID?Yes, here is my ID card.Where are you from?I’m from Tehran. I live there with my family.Do you work or study?I’m a third year Economics student at the university.Do you like the place where you live?Yes, I do. We live in a nice peaceful area … it’s mainly residential and it’s a good place to live.Do you know your neighbours there?Yes, we have had the same neighbours for many years. I have known them since I was a small child.Is this place suitable for children? Why?I think it is. There are many families who live in the neighbourhood because it’s quiet, safe and children can play in areas where there is no traffic and parents can see them.Do you like to visit museums or art galleries?I like museums a lot, but art galleries not so much.Do you think people should visit museums more? Why?If you like museums, then they are wonderful places, but if you don’t like looking at things from the past then you will probably think they are boring places. I don’t think people should do things they are not interested in just because someone else thinks it’s a good idea. There are many ways to learn about history and other things … museums are just one option.Do you like shopping?No, not really. Sometimes, it’s okay, but it depends on what I’m shopping for.Why do people prefer to buy from street shops?It’s possibly because it’s traditional or maybe they know the owner ofthe shop or stall. Many people shop at the same places they have always shopped for many years… almost like a tradition. Another reason might be because sometimes things are cheaper on the street than in some of the large supermarket type shops.Do you like to visit street shops in other countries?I don’t know … I’ve never travelled to another country, but I imagine it would be interesting to visit some and see what they are like. Hopefully, when I finish university I will have the opportunity to travel abroad.Part 2 IELTS speaking testTalk about some good advice that you received from someone. Please say:- What was the advice?- When and where did it you receive it?- Who gave you this advice?Sample answerI remember when I was considering which course I wanted to follow at university I received two pieces of good advice from two different people.One of them was my father and the other was one of my teachers at school.My teacher told me that based on my abilities and academic performance I would probably be good at subjects like economics or maybe mathematics. My father told me that I should study something I am interested in, no matter what other people think about my choice. I think that both of them gave me good advice.My teacher observed that I was very good at analyzing things and understanding how different things can influence each other. I was very interested in economics at school when we studied it because it involves many different aspects of life, business, and social factors. She, my teacher, said that I would probably find it more satisfying to study something I was really interested in than try and do something that was maybe more popular like something related to oil and gas or medicine which is quite popular for women here.Finally, I decided to study Economics because I like the subject and because I knew I would be happy doing it. I’m almost finished my course now and I have really enjoyed it so I think it was a good decision. Hopefully, I will be able to get a good job, either here or abroad when Igraduate. So I guess you could say I followed the advice from both people who gave me it. I’m happy about my choice, and my father and teacher too.Part 3 IELTS speaking testDo you usually listen to someone’s advice?It depends on the situation a lot. I mean, if it’s a serious situation and I have to make a big decision then usually I’ll ask people I think can help me for advice. If the advice seems to be good then I would certainly consider it.Do you prefer to listen to your relatives’ or friends’ advice? Why? Again, it depends. There are some things my friends might have more experience of and therefore give better advice than my relatives. Sometimes they both have good advice… so I can’t say I always prefer to listen to one rather than the other. I usually try and talk to whoever I think can give me the best advice based on the situation.Who should give young people advice about their future career? Why? It’s a good idea for young people to listen to a variety of advice from different sources and then make up their own minds about what theywant to do. Teachers and career counselors have more knowledge about careers and the employment opportunities, but parents, relatives and friends also have a different insight which they can offer you… a more personal viewpoint sometimes. But at the end of the day, everyone should make their own decision because it’s their career… they need to be happy doing what they choose.How can people get information about careers? Why?I believe that it’s easier than ever now thanks to the internet. There are many sites and sources of information which explain about many different careers, which careers are most popular and which pay the best money. You can research the career you’re thinking about just like any other subject. You can find out about all the options, the employment prospects and typical conditions as well as the long term professional development opportunities which exist.In the past many young people simply followed in the footsteps of their fathers or other relati ves because they weren’t aware of all the opportunities that existed. Now, you can learn about the basics of any career in just a few minutes thanks to the many career orientated business internet sites which are available.2014年5月-8月雅思口语真题4 What is your full name?My name is Christina AntonescuCan I see your ID?Yes, here you areWhere are you from?I’m from Bucharest, in RomaniaDo you work or study?I’m studying at the moment, here at the university. What subject are you studying?I’m doing a master’s degree in international business. Do you really enjoy this course?Yes, I really like it becau se it’s very interesting.Part 2 IELTS questionsTalk about an old friend that you met after not having seen each other for a long time. Please say:- Who is your friend?- Describe your friendship with him/her.- How long it had been since you last saw him/her.- What did the two of you talk about?Sample answerI’d like to tell you about my friend Camelia. We were best friends when we were at school and used to spend a lot of time together. We’d always be in each other’s house or out someplace together doing something. We used to go shopping together, we’d go to parties together and we even went on vacation together. After school finished, we both did different things though. Camelia wanted to travel to see her uncle, who was living in London, and I wanted to start university immediately.We stayed in touch with each other though, we called and texted each other and talked a couple of times each week by video so we alwaysknew what each other was doing. She stayed in London for almost three years and worked in several different jobs there. She was a barista, she worked in a courier company and also as a waitress in a restaurant while she stayed with her uncle. Her English became very good while she was living there, she could almost speak as well as an English person and certainly understood everything people said to her.Like I said, I went to university, in Bucharest, and studied for three years to get my degree in business. After I graduated, I decided to go to London to see Camelia in the summer before beginning my masters degree in international business at LSE, in London.I met Camelia in the summer, a couple of months before my course began. I visited her at her uncle’s home and we chatted for hours and hours. We talked about everything that had happened since we had last seen each other, which was about three years. And we spent nearly every day together for a week… it was just like old times when we were at school together.Part 3 IELTS questionsWhy is maintaining friendships good?Personally, it’s nice for me because Camelia is one of my favori te people. We have a lot of shared experiences and memories. She’s almost like a sister to me. It makes me feel good to spend time with her because she really understands me and I understand here…. we’re very close. In general, it’s good for people to have some stability in their lives by maintaining long-standing friendships.Why do friendships come to an end sometimes?I suppose that might happen when people leave and go and live in another place and then lose touch. I used to have some friends at school but after school finished we didn’t see so much of each other and eventually we stopped calling and talking. If I saw someone from school again now, I’d say hi and probably catch up with what they’ve been doing, but we’re not still close… we’re old frien ds, not actually good friends at the moment. I guess people grow apart naturally, unless they are very close as friends.Do you enjoy meeting friends and new people?Yes, I’m a very social person and love seeing my friends and meeting new people. It’s in teresting, because you never know when you meet someone new if they are going to be someone special or not. But it’s also fascinating to listen to what other people have done or are doing. You can sometimes learn a lot from other people and get some good ideas for yourself too.Why is it so important?It could be because if you don’t see your friends and meet new people life can become quite boring and routine, if everything is always the same and you only see the same people all the time. It doesn’t soun d very interesting, does it? It’s important to meet new people, try new things and learn new things also… it’s what keeps everything fresh and stimulating.Would you come to your classmates’ reunion after 10 years? Why? Yes, if we had one. It’s not a no rmal tradition in my country, but if there was one I would go to it, sure. It would be great to see everyone again and hear all about what they have been doing since we were at schooltogether all those years ago.Is there a benefit to reunions?Apart from being a nice social event, it can be useful to keep in contact with people you knew, or liked, when you were at school. It might be useful for your career, for example, if someone you once knew at school is now working in the same sector as you and maybe knows some interesting people that you don’t. But mainly, I think it’s just a nice idea to get together again and catch up.How can globalization help people with their friendships?I suppose if they have friends in many different countries then nowadays it’s a lot easier to keep in touch with them. It’s also easier to travel and see their friends as well as chat with them using technology that is available. I guess in the past, writing letters must have been quite tiresome.Would you like to have friends in different parts of the world?I do, and it’s great! It’s much more interesting because you have different things to talk about. When all your friends come from the same country or the same city it’s not the same. When you are friends with people from different places and countries the conversations you have are more interesting and you can learn more about different parts of the world and how things are done there.。
