雅思口语新话题toys 玩具,对于初高中生来说还算是有记忆的,而且就算玩具的类型男女有别,但是喜欢玩的原因都大同小异。除此之外呢,还会问一些比较general的问题。我们先来看一下关于toys 他们都问了什么哈~

9. Do you think toys should be passed on to other kids when these toys are no longer wanted?
这个问题其实跟3,4题很像,舍不得送的就算不想要了也会堆在储藏间,所以我们重点分析觉得应该转送的。有些人觉得放着也是浪费,还不容送给别人,不然就真的成废物了。废物利用也是一种美的不是。再者,你不想要了,别人可能很喜欢很想要也说不定啊。

浪费:waste;unnecessary
堆:pile up in
转送:make a present of sth given to someone
废物利用:make good use of waste things
很喜欢很想拥有:desire sth
