雅思口语解析：books.

雅思口语话题books 本身难度不大，但有些同学觉得难是因为自己平时除了教科书，别的书都不读。最常接触的可能就是小说了，而且百分之八九十都是电子书，这不妨碍回答这个话题的。首先我们先来看一下他大概都问什么，然后再分析下具体怎么回答。

1. How often do you read?

表示频率的问题算是话题中比较简单，而且回答通常较短的问题了。大家只要掌握一些表示频率的短语副词就好，别忘了加入细节作支撑哦。你可以说只要有空闲时间就读，读书能让你放松，让你学习新的词汇和知识等等。

词汇补充：

让人放松: loosen up / make someone at ease / cool down

学习新知识：acquire / gain knowledge

表示频率：

经常：usually-quite often-every now and then

有时：sometimes;at times;occasionally;now and then

每周几次： once a week;every other day;once a week

断断续续：off and on

几乎从来不：hardly ever;hardly/seldom

2. Do you have any books at home?

如果你还是学生，这道题对你来说就太有可聊的了，小说(fiction)，杂志(magazine)，漫画(comics)也是书。美女们肯定会有时尚刊物，男生们总会有一些电脑或是篮球杂志对不对。

词汇补充：

爱读书的人：I’m a reading man / great reader / bookworm

很多: a great many / a number of / plenty of

不是特别多: few / not much / few and far between

时尚刊物：fashion periodicals

体育杂志：sports journals

3. Do Chinese people do enough reading?

4. Do Chinese people like to read?

我们可以分情况来说，毕竟有些人真的很爱读书，但是也有部分人觉得读书无聊，更喜欢看视频或是听音频。总的来说读过人读书的数量确实要比西方国家少很多。

Generally speaking，compared with western countries, the number of Chinese who do reading is far from satisfactory. Even a small percentage of people really love reading, the majority have less intention on it. I mean, they like radio or video better.

5. What kind of people like reading and what kind of people don't like reading very much?

这道题应该是这里面最难说的，就连中文我们都不知道怎么说，喜欢与否完全取决于他们的个人兴趣。还好雅思口语没有标准答案，只要你能表述清楚自己的想法就好。

Well，it is really a tough question for me. Please give me a second to organize my words. En, I don’t think there is a clear criterion to classify who likes reading and who doesn't. In my eyes, it’s all up to their willing and interest.
