2018年9-12月雅思口語Part 1新題預(yù)測：boring

　　Do you ever get bored?

　　I used to get bored when I was a kid, and that was awful but today, I don’t have time to get bored because the internet has taken over my life, there’s always something to do or to watch. That said, I think boredom is not a bad thing, because you need to use your imagination to stave off boredom.

　　當(dāng)我還是個孩子的時候，我曾經(jīng)很無聊，這很糟糕，但是今天，我沒有時間感到無聊，因為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)已經(jīng)占據(jù)了我的生活，總有一些事情要做或看。也就是說，我認為無聊并不是一件壞事，因為你需要用你的想象力來避免無聊。

　　+Collocation: stave off (v.) boredom – to prevent or avoid boredom

　　Do you think you get bored more now than when you were a child?

　　I think I got bored more often when I was a kid, like I said, without computers or the internet there weren’t many THINGS to do. With your friends, you could play games, but they weren’t there every summer or on holidays, so I was alone by myself and I didn’t have so many things to do. Nowadays, I have many more hobbies, I like to play guitar and do sports and surf the Internet.

　　我想，當(dāng)我還是個孩子的時候，我經(jīng)常感到無聊，就像我說的，沒有電腦或互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，沒有很多事情可做。和你的朋友們，你可以玩游戲，但他們不是每年夏天或假期都在那里，所以我獨自一人，我沒有那么多事情要做�，F(xiàn)在，我有更多的愛好，我喜歡彈吉他，做運動，上網(wǎng)沖浪。

　　+Collocation: surf the Internet. – use the internet

　　What things do you find boring?

　　Chores are really boring when you have to iron clothes or when you have to clean the house. I hate doing that, and I always try to optimise the way I do the tasks, so they are easier and faster I don’t spend much time doing it. Since I live alone, my mother can’t do it for me any more. My life has changed in that way.

　　當(dāng)你不得不熨衣服或者打掃房子的時候，做家務(wù)真的很無聊。我討厭這樣做，我總是試著優(yōu)化我的工作方式，所以他們更容易，更快，我不會花太多時間去做。因為我一個人住，我媽媽再也不能為我做這件事了。我的生活從此改變了。
