雅思口语Part1范文：plan

1. What’s the difference between dream and goal?

Sample Answer:

To be honest, I don’t think there are great difference between a dream and a goal, cos sometimes they could be the same thing. I mean, they can both be a particular thing that one would like to happen or have. But the slight difference is that sometimes a dream could be too ideal and unlikely to happen while when you refer something as a goal, it sounds more realistic. For example, for an ordinary white-collar worker, to be a millionaire is a dream, which has little chance to happen, while to get a pay raise could be a goal. A goal is something that you can achieve through hard work. That’s the difference.

2. What kinds of goal do people usually have?

Sample Answer:

Different kinds of people have different goals. Students aim for straight “A”s, scholarships and internships. Graduates compete for jobs with high salaries. And employees want to get promotion and pay raise. Generally speaking, most people’s goals concern either money or power or the sense of satisfaction.

3. Should parents set goals for children?

Sample Answer:

It depends. When children are under 18 years old, parents should help them set goals. I think it’s actually parents’ responsibility to put their kids in the right path, such as by giving advice on important issues like which school to go to, and things. On the other hand, it’s not suitable for parents to interfere too much with their children who have already become grown-ups who have every right to make their own decisions independently.

4. When should young children set goals for themselves?

Sample Answer:

I suppose it varies in different cases. There isn’t a fixed age. For some children have good judgment at an early age, like 13 or 14, and this is when they are able to start to set their own goals while others might still be immature when they reach the age of 16 or so. In this case, the still need their parent’s help. So, in a word, when parents think they can trust their children to make right decisions, it’s the time.

5. Do you think it’s better to have clear aims for the future, or is it best to take each day as it comes?

Sample Answer:

I think it’d better to have clear aim for the future. There are several reasons for this. First of all, by setting goals, people have a chance to think about want they really want and what kind of people they want to be in the future. Secondly, if one doesn’t have a clear goal, he or she might just waste their time on meaningless things. To be honest, I can’t image live without goals.

1) Do you make plans every day?

1) Yes I do. I’m a super doer and I enjoy “done it” pleasure from crossing off the items on my to-do list. Making plans every day makes my day-to-day life run smoothly and it’s quite satisfying to see all of my plans finished at the end of each day.

2) I think so. I make to-do list every day so that I can finish every task in order. Also I am the kind of person who is super organized and enjoys a sense of achievement from crossing off each item on my list after finishing it.

3) The latest plan I’ve made is the one for final exam in last December. I went a thorough review regarding what I have learnt in the last semester and made a detailed plan on how to make preparations for the final exam.

4) Well, for me, the most difficult part in making plans is that I would always include too many tasks on a single day. In this way, it seems that the plans tend to be meaningless because it is impossible for me to finish them all. I think I should begin to classify some items as priorities in order to make these plans work in an efficient way.
