Part 1 常见问题及高分回答范例

Do you like cooking?

普通回答: Yes, I like cooking. It's fun. 高分回答: Absolutely! I'm a huge fan of it. For me, cooking is not just about preparing a meal; it's a really therapeutic process. I find it incredibly relaxing to chop vegetables and just focus on the task after a long day at work. Plus, there's nothing more satisfying than enjoying a delicious, home-cooked meal that you've made yourself.

What kind of food do you like to cook?

普通回答: I like to cook Chinese food. 高分回答: Well, I'm most comfortable with Chinese cuisine, especially my mom's classic dishes. I've been trying to master her recipe for mapo tofu for ages – it's a bit tricky getting the balance of spicy and savory just right. Lately, though, I've been experimenting with Italian food. I tried making homemade pasta last weekend, which was a bit of a challenge but turned out pretty flavorful.

Do you cook every day?

普通回答: No, I don't have time. 高分回答: Not every day, to be honest. My weekdays are usually pretty hectic, so I tend to just grab something quick or reheat leftovers. But I make it a point to cook at least a couple of times on the weekend. It’s my way of unwinding and treating myself to something nice.

Who usually cooks in your family?

普通回答: My mother cooks. 高分回答: Historically, it was definitely my mom. She’s the go-to chef in our family and an amazing cook. However, things have changed a bit recently. I've started taking over the kitchen on weekends, and my younger brother has also gotten quite good at making simple dishes. It's kind of become a family activity now, which is really nice.

Part 2 深度话题卡及回答思路

Describe a meal you enjoyed eating. You should say:

• What it was
• Where you ate it
• Who you were with
• And explain why you enjoyed it so much.

回答思路:

1. Introduction (What): 直接点明是什么饭，不是简单的晚餐，而是一个有特殊意义的场合。
   • "I'd like to talk about a meal I had about two years ago. It wasn't just any meal; it was a home-cooked birthday dinner for my best friend."
2. Where & Who: 描述地点和人物，营造氛围。
   • "We celebrated it at her apartment. She's an amazing cook, and she decided to make a special Japanese-inspired feast. A few of our closest friends were there, so the atmosphere was really warm and convivial."
3. Describe the meal (Action & Detail): 详细描述食物，使用感官词汇（看、闻、尝）。
   • "The star of the show was a grilled salmon with a miso glaze. It was cooked to perfection – the skin was crispy, and the inside was flaky and tender. Alongside it, she made a beautiful salad with a sesame-soy dressing and some steamed edamame. For dessert, we had matcha green tea ice cream, which was incredibly aromatic and not too sweet."
4. Explain why you enjoyed it (Result & Feeling): 解释原因，连接到情感和回忆。
   • "I enjoyed it for several reasons. First, the food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were so well-balanced. But more importantly, it was the company and the effort she put in. It wasn't about going to a fancy restaurant; it was about sharing a special moment together. We laughed, talked, and just enjoyed each other's company. That feeling of camaraderie is something I cherish. It really showed me that the best meals are the ones made with love."
