不是第一天备考雅思的宝宝们应该都知道，虽然这是本季9-12的新话题，但是我们也是对它有点印象啊，这是上一个话题季part 3里面的问题，因为之前的part 2有考过近水之地。本季度part2近水之地的话题取消了，所以它就摇身一变变成了part 1新题。大家不要慌啊，我们就一步步来分析下，这个所谓的新话题要怎么答嘞~

1.  What activities would you do if you were spending some leisure time at a beach or near the ocean?

2. Why do some people like water sports?

3. Do you think the government should invest money in developing facilities for water sports?

4. Do you think that human activity is posing a threat to the oceans of the world?

5. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of travelling on the oceans?

6. Do you think it’s important for children to learn how to swim?

7. Do you think it’s best for a child to be taught how to swim by a parent or by someone else?

Activity near water 问题没有很多，重复性也不强，所以我们需要分别准备些答案来应对。

1.  What activities would you do if you were spending some leisure time at a beach or near the ocean?

本题考察的就是一些海边活动及相关的表达，可能有些宝宝想说，从来没去过怎么办啊，那我们就脑补一下电视剧里的场景就好。 刺激一点的无外乎就是冲浪，潜水，水上摩托车，再激烈点的就是沙滩排球；懒一点的就是散散步，要么躺在沙滩椅上晒晒太阳喝着果汁

词汇补充：

冲浪 go surfing

潜水 snorkel

水上摩托车 jet ski

沙滩排球 play beach volleyball

在岩岸边散步 Take a long walk on the rocky shores

躺在沙滩椅上 Lying down on the beach chair

喝饮料enjoy Juice on the beach while watching the sunshine

涂涂防晒霜 wear sunscreen at the beach and pool

2. Why do some people like water sports?

这里我们就要想一想喜欢水上运动的原因了，原因其实都大同小异，有的是超级喜欢水，有人觉得水上运动很刺激，平时都玩不到，有人觉得动一动对身体有益啊，再不然就是觉得大热天的下水活动凉爽啊

词汇补充：

刺激

We can say that water sports like jet ski and surfing as well as snorkeling are Extremely exciting, which can relieve the pressure from daily work and study.

对于住在内陆的娃们来说，水上活动不常见啊

the others reason is Water sports are not common activities in inland area

锻炼身体

what’s more，they can build up people’s body when they suffer from illness.

凉快啊

They are cool activities on a hot summer day

3. Do you think the government should invest money in developing facilities for water sports?

这个问题有点难了，政府应不应该投资水上活动设施，有些人可能认为没用，应该投钱给教育或是增加社会福利之类的，有些人则觉得这样挺好的，设施完善了就能更好的玩耍了，可以健健身，要是好了还能吸引游客啥的

句式补充：

Spending money on education or social welfare should be better than on facilities for water sports

It can do good to citizens’ health since many enjoy the water sports.

It can improve people’s awareness of strengthening exercises and keeping healthy.

It is also a way to attract tourists to enhance the local economy.

4. Do you think that human activity is posing a threat to the oceans of the world?

人类活动是否给海洋造成威胁，这道题有点偏环境方面，那我们就想想啊，最近海洋方面都出啥问题啦，什么过度捕捞啊，破坏海洋生态平衡啊，石油泄漏啊等等

句式补充：

Human activity has pushed oceans to their limit.

Main threats to the world’s ocean include overfishing, inadequate protection, shipping, oil spill and pollution，which have already damage the ecological balance

5. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of travelling on the oceans?

最近邮轮旅行也是大热，但是它有好有坏哈，好的一方面是能够感受不同的风光啊，享受海风啊什么的。不好呢，个人觉得受天气影响很大，毕竟要漂在大海上那么多天还是有点怕怕的。

句式补充：

优点

Cruise tours, an emerging=rising industry, are prevailing nowadays  

Experience different ways of travel

You can not only feel the vastness of the ocean but also have a good relaxation by watching the blue seawater

缺点：

There are certain risks

Be liable to Seasickness

It is much too time-consuming

6. Do you think it’s important for children to learn how to swim?

Absolutely, 游泳对于生活在海边的娃来说是必要的，对于生活在内陆的娃来说就是生存技能，还能够锻炼身体，游泳很减肥的说哦~

词汇补充：

a basic skill for people to survive in floods

Exercise their body

It is crucially important for children to learn swimming in places near water. 

7. Do you think it’s best for a child to be taught how to swim by a parent or by someone else?

到底是让爸妈教呢？还是请专业人士教呢？

爸妈如果会的话，可以让他们教，他么可能会更有耐心，还省钱，还能多跟他们在一起。如果不会的话还是请专业人士吧，不然会容易受伤

Parents:

If they are masters in swimming or at least they are aware of the skills,

Have more patience

There is no need to pay any tuition fee

If they are masters in swimming or at least they are aware of the skills,

otherwise, it's best for a child to be taught by professionals.
