雅思口语Part1范文：Public holiday 

1)Do you have many public holidays in China?

Sample Answer:

I would say no. Chinese people have less holidays than people in many other countries do. In China, if you have a full-time job, you’ll only have about 10 days off each year besides weekends. That’s not enough for many people. Compared with people in other countries, we Chinese work the longest time and take the shortest vacation. The French can rest for over a month each summer. And in Japan, employees can have a three-week paid holiday per year, which is twice as long as the Chinese holiday. So I’d say we don’t have many public holidays in China.

2)Which public holiday do you prefer?

Sample Answer:

I prefer Spring Festival, which is also known as the Chinese New Year as it celebrates the beginning of a new year in Chinese lunar calendar. I love Spring Festival cos it is the longest holiday in China. It starts on the Chinese New Year’s Eve and lasts for 7 days. Other holidays in China don’t last for such a long time. I can do a lot things during this long holiday. And mum would always prepare a lot of delicious food during the Spring Festival. We would have several family reunions and I can meet a lot of relatives and friends and chat with them. That why I like Spring Festival the most.

3) Do you like more national holidays?

Sample Answer:

Yeah. I don’t think I have enough holidays and I feel that I don’t have enough time to rest. My job is challenging and tiring. I often have to stay up late working extra hours, which makes me feel exhausted. It would be really nice if I could have one or two extra days off.

4) When you have a holiday, what do you usually do?

Sample Answer:

I usually go traveling with my partner. He loves traveling and wants me to be his company and I’d love to. If I don’t take a trip, I would stay at home watching tons of TV shows. I can spend the whole day watching TV programs without taking a break. If my partner wants me to cook, I would also do some cooking for him. That’s what I usually do on holidays.

5) What is your favourite type of holiday?

In my opinion, I like summer holiday best. In this holiday, I can enjoy watermelon and ice-cream, which are my favourite food. Besides, I can also go to the beach and swim in the sea freely.

6) Do you enjoy short holidays or long ones?

I enjoy long holidays for the reason that I can have more leisure time to do what I want to do compared with the short holidays. For instance, I can take a long trip abroad to broaden my horizon.

1) I haven’t calculated it, let me think, the spring festival, the Qingming Festival, the dragon boat festival, the mid-autumn festival, the national holiday and Labor Day, ah, there are six public holidays in my motherland.Oh no, there are seven, I forget the new year.

2) I think so. there should be a holiday in July or August, because the weather is quite hot and there is no holiday from June to September. I think there should be a holiday at that time so that people can have a rest.

3) It depends on the length of the holiday. If it is a long holiday, more than 5 days, I prefer to travel to spend my holiday. While if the holiday only has three days or fewer, I would like to stay at home for rest or meet my friends.

4) My favorite holiday should be the spring festival, because it should be the longest holiday among all the public holidays. I can have enough time accompany my parents and I’m able to travel abroad.

1.Where did you go for your last holiday?

I went to Fiji for my last holiday before the epidemic with my boyfriend. It was a beautiful holiday and we totally enjoyed ourselves with the clear water and the nice sun. We went to the beach everyday and had cocktails in the bar, and we went on a whale-watching cruise. We saw one huge whale and several dolphins swimming around our cruise. God, it was amazing! I wish I could go again soon.

2.Do you like holidays? Why?

I love holidays! I mean, who doesn't? Holidays allow me to get rid of my work and study, and I can have some time only for myself. I always go abroad during my holiday so I get to explore more about the world. I also think holidays can recharge my energy so when I come back from a holiday, I feel like I have more power to work.

3.Which public holiday do you like best?

I like the Spring Festival the most and I have two reasons for that. Firstly, people get the longest time off during the Spring Festival. I think at least 1 week and some companies provide even longer holidays. Also, family and friends gather together during the Spring Festival, which means I get to see all my relatives and close friends.

4.What do you do on holidays?

Normally I would make a trip overseas with my family or my friends. I love travelling but I always work a lot. However, holidays provide a perfect time for me to get rid of everything and just enjoy myself. But of course with the epidemic now, I can’t travel, so I like to spend some quality time with my family.
