(单词翻译:单击)

How do you spend your leisure time?(Or: what do you usually do in your spare time?

这是一道自由发挥的题目,不同的人有不同的兴趣爱好,打球、下棋、看书、上网等休闲活动都会从不同侧面帮助我们调节生化。如果能用简洁的语言来说明一下原因,则会使回答显得更加充实。比如,打篮球可以帮助我们提高团队的合作意识等等。

Candidate 1: What do you do in your free time? Study, you might say. Come on! All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. This is a popular western saying: I'll say, "Work hard and play hard, or simply relax. Well, as a guy living in the society, I do have got some interests or hobbies. I have to admit that I am a little lazy and only want an easy and casual(随意的) life. So it is obvious that watching films at home or in the cinema is a perfect option.

Films really tell me a lot. First I can experience various lives by throwing myself into(投身于) an ocean of films. Sometimes, I just imagine I was the hero in a play so that I could have a true understanding of the charater's thoughts and feelings and helps me from different stories. For instance, an inspirational(励志的) film comforts me a lot while I'm going through difficulties and hardships. Furthermore, it is apparently a satisfactory way to kill boring time. There is no need to think about anything else but follow the plots. Last but not least, sharing an awesome(精彩的,棒极的) film with families, friends of lover is what I dream of. Staying together is such simple happiness.

Anyway, film is totally such an ideal thing that I sincerely appreciate the guy who produced it.

以问句形式开篇设计巧妙,继而使用引语,及一系列的过渡词及短语有条不紊地叙述了自己钟爱电影艺术的若干缘由,语言简洁明了,电影的魅力被娓娓道出,同时体现了Candidate 1追求简单充实的生活态度,在如今纷繁芜杂的大千世界中着实引起共鸣。

Candidate 2: There are various ways of spending your leisure time. If you are a social person in nature, you may hang out with friends, have dinner in a nice restaurant, or go to a party. You'll surely enjoy yourself. If you are a culture-oriented person, interested in activities that improve people's skills or mind, you may go to concerts, attend live theatre performance, visit museums, or participate in artistic activities, such as painting and dancing. Such forms of recreation(娱乐) give you relaxation and make you more refined and learned. If you like sports, you can go swimming or take part in aerobics(有氧运动) classes. You can also play ball games with your fellows if you prefer team work sports.

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and surfing the Internet. Sometimes I go shopping with my peers. In my opinion, music is the reflection(反映,表现) of feelings. For example, when one is happy, he tends to listen to light and fast songs, while if he feels sad, he is likely to listen to heavy and slow songs. It is surfing the net that does me good. By logging onto(登陆) the Internet I can not only chat with my friends in other cities but also learn more knowledge about current events, sports and entertainment news.

All in all, my spare life is very colorful.

Candidate 2根据个人的性格特点,首先简述了可供选择的多种休闲活动。之后以自己为例,突出了听音乐和上网是当代年轻人最喜欢的娱乐方式之一,并以心情悲喜决定音乐欣赏类型为细节支撑,条理清晰,语言简洁。
