话题解析及参考答案

Furniture作为9月开考第一天就浮出水面的新题，一定会让不少学生感到惊讶。但其实“家具“这个话题在雅思口语题库中并不是首次出现，它其实是Part 2经典旧题Describe a piece of furniture in your home的一个变形，这种出题方式在雅思口语考试中其实是屡见不鲜的，所以为大家详细解析一下这个话题还是十分有价值的。

1.Is there much furniture in your room?

No, not really, there’s only a desk, a *all table and a bed really. Oh, and I also have a bedside table with a lamp on it. I use this to keep some books on. I like reading thriller novels, you see, and I often read in bed before going to sleep so the bedside table and lamp is quite handy.

解析： 首先大家要注意，furniture是个不可数名词，形容一件家具就只能用“a piece of furniture”，大家在回答中要注意单复数。很多考生在回答这道题时，回答完“我家都有啥家具“后似乎就不知道还应该拓展什么内容了。我们完全可以采取model answer中的这个回答，抓取某一个家具来解释。比如答案中提到的是一个bedside table，这个家具想必很多同学的家里都有的。答案说，这个床头柜上有很多书，因为自己睡前喜欢看一些书，这样更容易入睡。thriller novels的意思是，恐怖/惊悚题材的小说，thriller这个词也可以指(关于罪案或间谍的)惊险小说(或戏剧、电影) 。

2.What kind of furniture would you like to buy?

I’d really like to buy a bookshelf. I have a growing collection of books. And I would like to store them on a proper bookshelf, rather than just piling them up in the corner of the room or on my bedside table which I do at the moment. So, yeah, a bookshelf, a nice wooden bookshelf would be nice in my room and keep it a bit more tidy and enable me to organise my books properly.

解析： 答案中提到的是一个书架，bookshelf。因为如果有书架，书的摆放会更加整齐，而不是像现在这样都堆在bedside table上面。答案中提到一个短语，pile something up，这个短语的意思是“堆积，堆放“。

3.Who has bought or gave furniture for you?

My parents have usually bought furniture for my room, actually. We’ve always lived in quite *all places so I’ve never really had much furniture. But they bought me a bookshelf, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers for my clothes and things like this. My uncle once bought me a really nice chair actually, a sort of desk-chair so I could be more comfortable when I’m studying.

解析： 答案中提到了几个家具的名称，比如wardrobe衣柜，这个单词在雅思听力中也是一个高频机经词汇，希望大家可以学习并记忆。a chest of drawers这个单词的意思是五斗柜，五斗橱。desk-chair的意思是课桌椅。
