10. a shopping website: 1. I have been a big fan of taobao.com since my university times. I'd have to say that its layout is quite neat and organised. To be more specific, all items are classified and listed on the hompage. You can find the item under its category. If you have some special item which could not be found, you can just type in the name of what you want and click the "search" button. The next thing you should do is to pick one up from the numerous and pay for it. It is quite user-friendly.

11. 2. Items on that website are all quite updated and in stock with a range of different colours and sizes, which enables customers like me to own the most "in" goods. Girls are the main buying group who always hope to be the most attractive one among people when walking in the street. This website satisfies them much; Meanwhile, it helps me to build my knowledge about fashion. As you know, all the most popular and fashionable items can be found on that site, I can learn more about what fashion means.

12. 3. I also make my best friend who share the same interests with me on that website. The truth is that I initially knew her because I bought the items from her shop. The amazing fact is that I found we shared similar interests and tastes, which led to that our chatting is quite heated; She also taught me some techniques about bargaining, which expanded my horizon, too.

13. 答题框架： 1/4的部分用来介绍基本情况 （what, who, when where, how） 3/4的部分用来进行说理性阐释 (why)

14. 如何进行说理性阐释： 论点1+论据； 论点2+论据； 论点3+论据；

15. Sample answer: I will get started by telling you that my favourite website is one of Britain’s well-known brands, ASOS’s official website. I suppose fashionable girls may have heard or ever visited it because it’s definitely one of the most popular UK’s shopping websites.

16. With regard to why I like this website so much, I’d have to say there are really many aspects deserving to be mentioned. To begin with, it is primarily because the layout of this website is pretty neat and organized. Since girls are always wishing to buy various items, including dresses, trousers, shoes or accessories etc., this website demonstrates clothes categories clearly, what users need to do is clicking the links. This makes it quite user-friendly. Compared with China’s newly-grown shopping websites, ASOS’s website does provide an excellent model to learn.

17. Besides, another reason which also contributes to its tons of hits daily should be that it includes clothes from too many other international great brands, such as Mango, FCUK, ZARA, as well as ASOS itself. This made it very convenient for those who have different preference on different items, like me. I prefer to choose a Mango skirt but a ZARA coat. Browsing ASOS reduces my time spent on other websites.

18. What’s more, items on ASOS website are all demonstrated with a 360-view dynamic model video. Customers can preview what the item looks like from the front, the back, and any other side, which helps buyers hold an overview.

19. Another reason I really adore this website is it has two big sale periods during the Christmas time and the summer vacation annually. The website would always get collapsed during that time and the status of popular items are always “out of stock”. I have to say the sale time is really attractive but you must be an early bird or you would “starve”/cry.

20. The last explanation for my interests into this website is its goods can be delivered worldwide freely. Since I have not been in the UK any more, there are less opportunities for me to buy UK style clothes. ASOS’s worldwide delivery service cheers me up again. And the post duration is not so long as what I imagine. I am really hooked on it.

21. 可扩展的其它题目： Describe a time when someone else taught you something; Describe an interesting person; Describe a person you enjoyed spending time with; Describe a job you want to do in the future

22. Describe an apartment/house you ever visited. You should say: whose houses it was; whre it was; when you went there; and explain why you liked it.

23. 解题思路： 1. 思考会涉及到怎样的内容与话题 （an ideal house; a piece of furniture; a graden; a seaside place） 2. 确定擅长的内容与不擅长的表达 (which room; which part) 3. 如何确定论点并充分阐释

24. Living room: spacious; a huge sofa; a carpet; a fireplace; a huge-screen TV set; a high-quality hi-fi with surrounding sound effect (karaoke equipment); entertainment area (billiard table)

25. Kitchen: integral kitchen (British style; North European style; IKEA style; American style); a tap with both cold and hot water; a dish-washing machine; an oven; a micro-wave oven

26. Bedroom: coloured wall paper; a French window; a walk-in/build-in wardrobe; a modern armchair; decorations (toys, paintings, arts, photos;handicrafts) en-suite

27. Bathroom: shower; bath; bath heater; spa tube;

28. Garden: lawn; various plants; swing; hobbyhorse; in-ground swimming pool (bikini party; BBQ party)

29. 根据以上素材总结出以下论点： 1. spacious 2. privacy 3. entertainment 4. plants

30. 1. That house was quite spacious, which meant that not only did it have different functional rooms but every room was quite large. For example, it had a huge living room on the ground floor, which was quite convenient for guests visiting without disturbing families who rest in the bedrooms on above floors. Besides, every bathroom was spacious, where people can even circle to dance.

31. 2. Rooms of that house could protect privacy quite well because all bedrooms were en-suite. As a person who had been using shared bathrooms with classmates since middle school, having an independent bathroom in my own bedroom was the most perfect idea for me. And I would not worry more when using it during midnight.

32. 3. Another excellent design of that house was that it has great entertainment equippment both inside and outside. The indoor karaoke machine and billiard board were excellent for friends gathering as well as relaxing the families themselves. The outdoor swing and hobbyhorse could also bring happiness to children. The in-ground swimming pool also made it available for friends to come to hold bikini parties or BBQ parties, which added more colour to life.

33. 4. There were also various plants growing in the lawn, which attracted me much from the first sight. It was explained by the host that he was inspired and encouraged by the strong living will of these evergreen plants in cold winter. Plus, he thought it was these plants that helped to cultivate his sense of responsibility, persistence and patience through taking care of them.

34. 可扩展的其它话题： Describe you ideal house; Describe a piece of furniture; Describe a photography you like; Describe a seaside place; Describe a tourist attraction;

35. 针对物品类和地点类话题： 1. 素材来自物品/地点自身特点， 与 该物/地与自己的情感联系； 2. 坚持“论点+论据”的阐述
