2020年9月雅思口语part1新题：Making a list

“列清单”这个话题和前几季度中考到的“plans”属于相近话题。话题难度不高，是常规考题。

1 Do you like making a list when you go shopping?

I almost always make lists when I go shopping, yes. I find that I easily forget things if I don’t make a list and that’s a real pain. So, I always make a list, usually on a piece of paper or the notes section of my mobile phone. Then I follow the list when I’m in the shops or supermarket. Even if I shop online, I usually make a list first, so I can tick the items off one after another and not forget any of them.

解析：答案不仅回答了“喜不喜欢在购物的时候列清单”，还拓展了“在哪里列清单”( usually on a piece of paper or the notes section of my mobile phone.)如何使用清单”( I can tick the items off one after another and not forget any of them)。

2 Do you like making a list when you are working (studying)?

I make lists when studying all the time. I have a lot of different things to do in my studies and I make a list of the priorities: like the books I need to borrow or the resources I need to find for a dissertation or essay. I’m a huge fan of making lists and it helps to keep me organized and hit the deadlines without stress.

解析：keep me organized的意思是让我保持一个有条不紊的状态;hit the deadlines without stress的意思是毫无压力地在截止日期前完成某项工作。

3 Why do some people hate making lists?

Some people are quite averse to lists. I’m not sure why really. I think they are perhaps either already highly mentally organized anyway, and can hold a lot of things in their minds in order, so they don’t need to make physical lists, or perhaps they just feel lists are a bit boring, a bit daunting even, and intimidating because they then look at the lists and feel like they’ve got a mountain of work ahead of them to get through. So, they prefer to avoid list-making.

解析：be averse to的意思是不喜欢做某事，反对做某事;hold a lot of things in their minds in order，在这个短语中，hold这个动词使用的非常巧妙;daunting的意思是使人胆怯的，气馁的。不喜欢列清单的人可能是觉得这个行为比较有压迫感，似乎有成山堆积的工作等着完成。
