雅思口语解析：iWatch.

手表这个话题是本季度雅思口语新话题，还好看见这个词大家没有很惊慌，毕竟还是生活中常见的物品，但同样有些人例如男生会有手机或是买手表的爱好，但是有些人几乎都没有手表，尤其是现在的学生，手机就可以代替一切电子产品，手表也是。所以很多人都会说我就没带过手表，多累赘啊。还有同学会问iwatch 可不可以，当然算啊，是电子表的一种啊。我们先来看看问题都有什么哈~

1. How often do you wear a watch?

2. What was your first watch like?

3. What kinds of watches do you like to wear?

4. Do people still wear watches in your country?

5. Have you received any watch as a gift when you were a child?

过一遍之后你会发现没有太难或是需要深度思考的问题，这就更考验我们的语言灵活性了，不然答案就会非常简单，千篇一律。首先我们要学会一些关于手表的常用词，譬如说什么类型的，长什么样子的简单用语。

1. How often do you wear a watch?

这个问题只是关于频率的，how often多长时间一次。基本现在要么就是不带手表要么就是每天都带，因为已经习惯了。所以我们就分情况来解决

范例1：

不扩张的说这已经成我的daily routine 了

Literally，it has become my daily routine, I wear it every morning. Well, I know the smart phone can completely replace it, but I have got quite used to it to watch time. In most cases, I put my phone aside，so watch is more convenient for me.

范例2：

To be honest, I never wear a watch since I can remember. You know, we can check time on cellphone, so there is no need to wear a watch. What’s more, I can see time anyplace in my life, like school, dinning hall, restaurant, supermarket and my home.

2. What was your first watch like?

第一块手表长什么样子，我们不可能事无巨细的描述这个手表，但是可以说一下这个表的类型，学生一般都会用运动手表或是电子表，上班族或是大学生尤其是男士很喜欢那种机械表，甚至还有人平时不代表但是人生的第一块表可能是爸妈送的iwatch.

范例1：

Wow, speaking of my first watch of my life, I want to say that it was a digital watch send by my mom as a birthday gift. I think it was elegant with a white and round face, which was perfectly suitable for my clothes.

范例2：

Although I am not a watch-lover and I rarely wear a watch, I got a watch of dreams, an iwatch, sent by my parents as an adult gift. You know, it has already been a hit since publication. It has lots of functions, not mentioning watching time.

3. What kinds of watches do you like to wear?

每个人喜欢的类型都不一样，男士可能喜欢很有质感的石英或是机械表，但是女生可能更喜欢带有装饰性的手表，看起来更好看。

范例1：

En, the tactile and mechanical watches are always my top priority. I mean, compared with the digital ones, I never consider much about the problem of power. Plus, to my knowledge, mechanical watches are more durable than the digital ones.

范例2：

Well, like most of girls of my age, elegant watches will attract us more. In my eyes, watch is not only a tool, also an accessory to my outfits. So If I see a fair watch, I will have more impulse to buy it.

4. Do people still wear watches in your country?

中国人依旧带表么，有些人是会带，例如说商人啊，上班族啊，因为他们不肯那个一直看手机是吧。但是大部分还是直接用手机的说啦。

范例：

Actually，very few of us wear a watch. With the popularization of smart phones，most of Chinese prefer phones rather than watch. However, a small percentage of people still wear it, such as business man or office workers, they think it is more formal which can show their social status and manner.

5. Have you received any watch as a gift when you were a child?

这个问题我们之前是不是说过啊，在part 1 部分不会每一道题都会问到，我们要做的是灵活的应用自己准备的答案巧妙的避过或是能将答案合理的分布的不同的问题上。
