2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案：第一次外语和别人交谈
Describe a time when you first talked to others in a foreign language.
You should say:
When this happened
Who you talked to
What you talked about
And explain how you felt about this experience
The time I remember quite clearly when I spoke in a foreign language for the first time properly was when I was introduced to a new foreign teacher in university. I had, to be honest, spoken English, beforehand, but this was the first “real” time I had had a conversation with a native speaker, so I’d like to talk about this. I recall that she was quite friendly and supportive and spent the entire first class giving us lots of opportunities to speak and talk about ourselves, our ambitions, our family and all sorts of things like this – personal things. I found this quite exciting in a way, although I was quite nervous because I was not used to her pronunciation and so I had to concentrate to listen. But I was pleasantly surprised at how much English I could speak when I was asked questions, and the more I spoke the more I felt confident about speaking more! She then put us in groups of four other students and we had little tasks to complete – questions and answers, oral English tasks. She came round to each table and asked us about our answers and chatted to us more. I must say that I quite enjoyed this. Although it wasn’t really any different to what my Chinese teachers had done in English lessons, I found it somehow more exciting because it was a native speaker. It was like an opportunity to show and test my language skills with someone who really did speak that language as their first language and I really liked this chance. From this day onwards I became a lot more confident in speaking English, and I often found this teacher in her breaktimes and made an effort to hang out with her a bit, spend a bit of time drinking tea with her, showing her the local sights, and using this opportunity to practice my language skills. So, I will always remember this first day when I got to speak English with this native speaker, and thereafter becoming good friends with her. So, all in all, I felt great about this whole experience.

1. What difficulties do young people in your country have in learning foreign languages?
Most study pretty hard and are good at grammar and language in the context of tests, written tests, reading tests, listening tests, for example. But they find the most difficulty in speaking in natural situations.
2. Why do you think some people are very enthusiastic about learning another language and other children are totally uninterested?
Well, some people believe this because it’s basically true! It’s a lot easier to learn to speak than to write in a foreign language. This is partly because if you are writing you usually have to control your grammar a lot more strictly than if you are speaking. Sentences in spoken language are usually shorter, less complex, and involve less complicated vocabulary. Also, if you are writing in a language you usually have to write more formally, and use a different register of vocabulary than if you are merely speaking. Written language is often slightly more formal, too, which again, involves a richer and higher range of vocabulary and lexical use than if you are just having a spoken conversation. So, in general, there are a few reasons why people are correct in saying that it is more difficult to write in another language than speak that language.
3. Is it easier for people to learn a new language when they are young or when they get older?
Definitely when they are younger! At least that is usually the case. Young people have more energy, more enthusiasm and generally pick up new things faster. It’s as simple as that really. At least most of the time. However, there are some older people who also learn fast, because they have previous experience they can build on.
