大连朗阁剑7解析系列 -《剑桥雅思7》口语真题答题示范（Test 2）

 

这道貌似简单的问题，要回答好也不太容易，因为我们经常会忽略自己的一些基本情感。建议从自己的生活细节入手，比如一个朋友之间的笑话（joke）、一部有趣的电影（movie）、一段经典的相声（cross talk）或小品（witty skit）等等。

 

Well, I guess a lot of things can make me laugh, such as a particularly funny joke from my friend Jack, an entertaining family comedy, a piece of traditional Chinese cross talk and an amusing witty skit on TV or on the Internet.

 

Well, I think most people don’t know exactly what will make them laugh and at what moment they will laugh. This is mainly because human laughter is so natural and unpredictable. As far as I am concerned, a talk show on the radio is the source of so many of my laughs, especially when the punch line comes out, and I will burst into a fit of laughter uncontrollably. Sometimes, I will also laugh at my own foolish ideas while I am absorbed in daydreaming.

该题要求描述你的一个建设性的想法，能改善学校或工作单位的某些东西。在描述时，必须点到许多细节，如想法形成的时间和地点、想法的具体内容、你和谁谈过该想法等。解释部分要求你阐述理由，为什么你的这一想法能对现状作出改进。建议从公司的柔性措施入手，谈如何提高员工们的工作效率。

 

As a senior worker of my company, I have proposed many useful ideas to my supervisors. One thing that caught my attention last year was that people in the workplace tended to show reduced efficiency after a certain period of doing their tasks. On closer observations, I found that the lack of face-to-face communication as well as a relaxing atmosphere was responsible for this phenomenon. So I wrote a proposal to my boss, saying that the company may need a small lounge for employees to unwind themselves and refresh their exhausted minds. The idea got accepted immediately and everyone in the company seemed to enjoy spending some time in the lounge. Apparently, there is a strong link between relaxation and working efficiency: when people become relaxed in a cozy environment and start to engage in casual conversations, they can find back their lost energy and enthusiasm and therefore increase their working efficiency in a good mood.
