雅思口语的part2里面有一个很经常出现的话题，就是describe an ideal house you want to have in the future 

　　如果我们是这个方式描述ideal house, 会发现，明显这个房子强调的是房子里有什么，而不是强调房子是什么样子。这样的描述方式可以吗？ 可以的。 但是基础信息是不能省略的，比如房子的位置（你假象位置），房子基本类型，房子的特点，先补充一波词汇：

类型

　　Courtyard  庭院 （比如 Chinese traditional courtyard 四合院）

　　Villa  别墅 同义词 mansion 大厦（很大很豪华的府邸）

　　XX-floor building   几层楼高

　　Bungalow  平房

　　high-rise building  高楼 （同义词：skyscraper）

　　cottage  小木屋 （cabin 也有类似意思）

　　地理位置

　　Situated/ sited/ located 坐落于center/ downtown 市中心outskirt/ remote area/ rural area 郊区/偏远/乡村地区metropolis 大都市coastal city 沿海城市 同义词 seaside city

　　范文

　　As for my ideal house, I would like to have villa in the future, which can be located in the suburban area of any metropolis. (can表示可能) To be more precise, the house should enjoy convenient transportation but meanwhile it is better to keep distance from thebustling(熙熙攘攘的) city center.

　　I don’t have a specific picture about what my villa would look like. All I want is to have a number of spacious rooms which allows me to invite my friends to come over, a walk-in wardrobe(步入式衣柜) for all my clothes, a room for my guitars and a room for me and my lover. I know it sounds a bit too fancy to be true. But it would be perfect if I can achieve it one day.

　　Too fancy to be true 改了一个常见说法 too good to be true 太好以至于失真，经常用于一些口语说法

　　eg:Since this investment seems too good to be true, you need to be careful about it.

　　Walk-in 步入式

　　Bustling adj 热闹的；熙熙攘攘的 引申常见词组 hustle and bustle 喧嚣

　　eg:This trip provides people with a nice escape from the hustle and bustle in the city.

　　假设，我们不想强调这个房子如何住，想强调它的外形设计，或者我强调我有一个环保的房子，可以结合高科技，来重点突出房子本身，可以吗？

　　可以的，当然你可能需要提前想好，你所需要的那些特殊词汇：

　　范文

　　Speaking of my ideal house, I wanna talk about a future house that I got to know a few years ago when I watched a TV show which depicted how the future house would look like.

　　Well, enjoying the cutting-edged technology and engineeringfeat, the house is very likely to be totally eco-friendly, using building blocks constructed from natural cement rather than clay bricks so that CO2 could be eschewed. Of course, I can choose the interior design myself, but I just want to keep it simple. Maybe modern European style with really simple color used inside like grey, blue and black and white, but I want the house is well-equipped with high standard home appliances including computer fridge which allows me to adjust the mode even when I am not at home, smart curtains which open automatically when I wake up.

　　这一篇就讲了一个很环保很现代感的房子。里面的词汇明显比刚才要了专业了一些。涉及了房子的构成材料，室内风格甚至家具都提到了。

　　我们看一下里面的词汇

　　cutting-edged adj.的 其实小编上文也用了一个同义词edgy adj 前卫的

　　The new look is really edgy. 下图，我们凡人看来就只能夸edgy

       feat n.丰功伟绩

　　eco-friendly adj 环保的  同等构词法还有 user-friendly adj 人性化的

　　eschew vt. 避免

　　home appliance 家用设备
