雅思命题官现在正在走越来越接地气的路线了，虽然什么newspaper和letters的古老问题还是在考，不过逐渐贴近大众生活的题目也越来越多了，例如上个季度出现的hat、flower话题，以及近期考察的bags、gifts和chocolate.下面是雅思口语巧克力话题，一起来了解下吧：

(相关资料图)

1. How often do you eat chocolate?

喜欢吃巧克力的娃可以这么说：

Well, basically every day. I have a sweet tooth, and chocolate is my favorite snack. My mom warned me that I might get fat if I eat too much chocolate, but I just can"t help it.

不喜欢的娃呢可以这么说：

Actually, I’m not big on chocolate or anything sweet. I hardly ever eat it, especially white chocolate, ‘cause it’s so sweet that it hurts my throat.

以前吃现在戒掉了的娃可以这么说：

Well, I used to eat chocolate all the time, but now I have to cut down on it ‘cause my doctor told me it’s bad for my skin, you see, I’ve got pimples on my chin, and chocolate would only make it worse.

语言点解析：

have a sweet tooth = to like food that contains a lot of sugar

cut down on something = to reduce the size, amount or number of something. 例如：

The doctor told him to cut down on his drinking.

We need to cut the article down to 1000 words.

2. What’s your favorite flavor?

先说说巧克力的种类：

dark chocolate = dark brown chocolate with a slightly bitter taste, made without milk being added 黑巧克力

milk chocolate = light brown chocolate made with milk 牛奶巧克力

green tea chocolate 抹茶味巧克力

white chocolate 白巧克力 (不过大家如果查维基百科会看到一句White chocolate is not chocolate in the strict sense. But… whatever!)

当然还有裹着一层巧克力的各种零食也行，例如chocolate-coated fruits, cookies or nuts. (这里有很多其他的说法，例如fruits or nuts with a thin coating of chocolate或者cookies thickly coated with chocolate.)

然后就该解释为啥喜欢吃了，关于“吃”的素材，大家要必备这样几个词：

texture 口感，比如“纵享丝滑”“入口即化”就可以说The texture is smooth. It feels like it melts in my mouth (to be soft and very good to eat).

Palatable 可口的，这个形容任何吃的都可以，酒都可以。

嗯，所以此题大家各取所需吧。

3. When was the first time you ate chocolate?

“When was the first time you did something”这种题最让人来气!老娘怎么记得!所以就实话实说吧：

Wow, I couldn’t really remember, it must have been a long time ago, I mean, chocolate is kind of a common snack for kids, I believe my parents must have bought it for me when I was little.

4. Is chocolate expensive in China?

又是一道老外好奇中国国情的题目(比如机经里还有“中国人喜欢送啥样的礼物哇?”之类的)

分类讨论，不要一竿子概括：

Um… That really depends on the brand we are talking about. I mean, those famous brands with superb quality and fascinating packaging can be really costly/pricey. However, the prices of ordinary ones that are available in every supermarket are pretty affordable.

5. Did you like chocolate when you were young?

好像没有小孩子不爱吃甜食吧……

Yeah, definitely! I was obsessed with chocolate when I was little. My mom didn’t want me to have too much of it ‘cause it gave me decaying teeth. But usually I wouldn’t stop crying until I got my chocolate bar.

6. Why do you like chocolate? Why do you think chocolate is so popular all over the world?

反正这两道题就是让我们夸巧克力，从两方面来说就够了：好吃、有益健康(一般都说dark chocolate有营养，cocoa content越高越好)。

How often do you eat chocolate?

在回答前，我们应该了解到以how often开头的问句都是问的频率，那么我们首先需要回答频率，然后给些supportive reasons就可以搞定了。这里，如果我们以once a week or twice a month来描述我们吃巧克力的频率就有点怪了， 毕竟我们不会限定次数说一定就是这么些次不能多也不能少。那么可以用什么呢?比如：

常吃：always， almost every day， daily， quite often

有时吃点：sometimes， once in a while

几乎不吃：barely，hardly ever，seldom

从来不吃：never，not at all

下面我们该想想supportive reasons了， 如果你常吃巧克力， 你可以说很喜欢：like，love， be into，be fond of，be keen on，be crazy about，或者直接说自己是甜食爱好者：I have a sweet tooth.

然后可以说巧克力的好处了，yummy，tasty，delicious，美味的;或者更形象一点mouth-watering 令人流口水的;finger-licking or lip-licking 回味无穷的。同时还可以说： smooth and tender丝滑柔软， melt in my mouth入口即化。除了美味巧克力那甜甜的味道还能令我们心情大好：cheer me up， feel in a good mood， liven up my day .

当然也有人不常吃巧克力，主要是因为巧克力的脂肪热量比较高，high-fat，high-calorie.

What’s your favourite flavour?

关于这题，首先我们要了解下主要有哪些种类的巧克力：

milk chocolate 牛奶巧克力

black chocolate 黑巧克力 (cocoa含量超过70%)

white chocolate 白巧克力

然后还有一些奇奇怪怪味道的巧克力了，比如：mint 薄荷味; matcha 抹茶味;vanilla 香草味;coffee 咖啡味;liqueur 酒味。

当然也有像Ferrero，Rocher那样contain added ingredients 有加一些成分的，比如：chestnut 栗子，hazel nut 榛子，caramel 焦糖，crisp rice 脆米粒。

Is chocolate expensive in China?

说到巧克力的价格，其实还是主要得看品牌了depends on, 取决于;有些大品牌name brand比如Godiva的价格就比较贵了pricey，high-priced，costly, 形容高价还可以夸张点：It will cost a fortune 它将花费一大笔钱。 一般一点的巧克力还是比较能接受的acceptable; 平价的fair price;可以承受的affordable. 另外，巧克力的价格跟它的包装package也有着branded关系。这也可以是一个答题思路。

Do Chinese people like chocolate?

说到Chinese people这里给直接答yes 或者no都是不太好的，毕竟我大中华人民众多， 都喜欢或者都不喜欢的可能性几乎为零。这时我们可以说有些人很喜欢：Well， I guess some would be into chocolate. 然后肯定也有不喜欢巧克力的：by contrast，I’m pretty sure there is a number of people aren"t crazy about chocolate. 至于喜欢或者不喜欢的原因，大家可以参照第一个题的讲解里提到的那一些。另外，这个题大家也可以考虑区分年龄或者性别来说。
