Hello its teacher Neil again, and today we will be talking about sports and hobbies. Now in your IELTS speaking exam you might be asked these questions.

你好，我是老師尼爾，今天我們將談?wù)撨\(yùn)動和愛好。在雅思考試中你可能會被問到這些問題。

So here are some useful phrases and vocabulary words that can help you to express yourself and to best your IELTS speaking test. Now lets get started, shall we?

所以這里是一些可以幫你表達(dá)自己并且讓你的雅思口語考試得到最高分的有用的短語和詞匯。我們現(xiàn)在開始吧。

First, to begin to describe your freetime activities. Now here are some phrases that you can start your sentences with.

我們先來描述你空閑時(shí)間的活動。以下是一些你可以用來開頭的短語。

In my free time, I bla bla bla. So for example, you can say, in my free time, I like to go to the gym.

我在空閑時(shí)間的時(shí)候會如何讓如何。例如，你可以說，我在空閑時(shí)間喜歡去健身房。

In my free time, I like to go running. Another way we can say, when I have some spare time, I like to go out with my friends.

我在空閑時(shí)間喜歡跑步。我們還可以說，我有空余時(shí)間的時(shí)候，我喜歡和朋友出去玩。

Spare time means that the time that you are not working, your free time. So lets just write here free time.

空余時(shí)間表示你不工作的時(shí)間，你的空閑時(shí)間。所以在這里我就寫空閑時(shí)間。

Free time and spare time, they are different ways of saying the same thing. However, if youre very busy, we can use the word spare time.

空閑時(shí)間和空余時(shí)間，它們是同一個(gè)意思的不同說法。但是，如果你很忙，我們可以使用空余時(shí)間。

When I get the time, I like to go to a coffee shop or I like to play some sports with my friends. All three of these sentences are good ways to start describing the hobbies and activities that you like to do.

我有時(shí)間喜歡去咖啡店，或者我喜歡和我的朋友一起運(yùn)動。這三個(gè)句子都是很好的開啟你描述喜歡進(jìn)行的愛好和活動的句子。

Moving on, if we go over here, to say you are interested in your free time activities. Now, these two sentences are good ways to say how much you enjoy your activities.

繼續(xù)，如果我們看到這里，要說你感興趣的空閑時(shí)間活動。這兩個(gè)句子都是很好的說明你有多喜歡這個(gè)活動的句子。

I am into, into means of course interested, interested. But you can also add another word to say how much.

我很喜歡，喜歡當(dāng)然表示感興趣了。但你也可以加入另一個(gè)詞來表示程度。

For example, I am really into or I am super into lifting weights. Im really into playing frisbee with my friends or I am super into jogging.

例如，我真的很喜歡或者我超級喜歡舉重。我真的很喜歡和朋友一起玩飛盤，或者我超級喜歡慢跑。

I jog almost every weekend and every night. I am keen, now keen, remember, is more of a British word.

我?guī)缀趺總€(gè)周末和晚上都會慢跑。我很喜歡，請記住，keen 更像是一個(gè)英式單詞。

It is more of a British way to say into, which is more American or just interested. So I am keen on going to the park.

它是表示喜歡的英式說法，into 更加美式，或者就說感興趣。所以我很喜歡去公園。

I am keen on going out with my friends to coffee shops. Im keen on walking around the city.

我很喜歡和我的朋友一起去咖啡店。我很喜歡漫步城市。

So these two way, these two sentences are ways that you can say how interested you are in your activities. Now the next question that you may be asked is: do you enjoy indoor activities or outdoor activities?

所以這兩個(gè)句子可以表達(dá)你對自己進(jìn)行的活動有多感興趣。你可能被問到的下一個(gè)問題是：你喜歡室內(nèi)活動還是戶外活動？

Indoor usually means it is in a house or in a building. And outdoor usually means it is outside or in nature, so outside or in nature or in the city.

室內(nèi)表示它在房屋或建筑物中進(jìn)行。而戶外的通常表示在室外或大自然中，即在室外，或在大自然界中或城市中。

So you can use these words to describe how deeply you are into your indoor or outdoor activities. Starting with the indoor activities, we have the word culture vulture.

所以你可以使用這些詞來描述你有多喜歡室內(nèi)或戶外活動。先從在室內(nèi)活動開始，可以使用文化狂熱分子這個(gè)說法。

Now a culture vulture is a slang term. Its a rhyming slang term.

文化狂熱分子是個(gè)俚語。它也押韻了。

But it focuses on culture, so that is usually things like a museum or theater, or film, or art gallery. So you can say, you know, Im a bit of a culture vulture.

不過它的重點(diǎn)是文化，所以通常是指博物館，劇院，電影或美術(shù)館之類的東西。所以你可以說，你知道的，我算是個(gè)文化狂熱分子。

So I like to go do indoor activities, such as going to the museum, or going to art galleries, or sometimes I go to the theatre. You know, Im not a sporty person.

所以我喜歡進(jìn)行做室內(nèi)活動，例如去博物館或去美術(shù)館，有時(shí)我會去劇院。你知道的，我不是運(yùn)動型的。

Im more of a culture vulture. Going on, lead an active social life.

我更像個(gè)文化狂熱分子。繼續(xù)，過著積極的社交生活。

Now social life means that you like to talk with a lot of friends or do activities with a lot of friends. So when we have it in an indoor context, you can say, you know, I lead an active social life, but I like to keep it indoors.

社交生活意味著你喜歡與很多朋友交談或與很多朋友一起活動。所以當(dāng)我們在室內(nèi)的語境中使用它時(shí)，你可以說，你知道的，我過著積極的社交生活，但我喜歡保持在室內(nèi)。

So I will invite my friends over to my house and well play a lot of board games, or well just go to the museum to hang out with each other. Another interesting and funny slang word that you can use is a couch potato.

所以我會邀請朋友到我家，我們會玩很多棋盤游戲，或者我們只是去博物館一起閑逛。另一個(gè)你可以使用的有趣的俚語是沙發(fā)土豆。

Now what a couch potato is is someone who likes to sit on the couch. So usually its in your own house or other peoples houses.

沙發(fā)土豆指的是喜歡坐在沙發(fā)上的人。所以通常是在你自己或其他人的家里。

It just means that you dont like to go out much. You like to stay in your house and sit on your couch or sofa.

這意味著你不太喜歡外出。你喜歡待在自己的房子里，坐在沙發(fā)上。

So you can say, you know, what Im a bit of a lazy person. Im a bit of a couch potato, so the activities I like to do is generally playing some video games, or watching TV, or just sitting at home and playing some card games at home.

所以你可以說，你知道的，我有點(diǎn)懶。我算是個(gè)沙發(fā)土豆，所以以我喜歡做的活動通常是玩一些視頻游戲或看電視，或者就坐在家里玩一些紙牌游戲。

Moving on, lets look at the outdoor activities. Now outdoor, as we know, means you go out of the house.

我們繼續(xù)看戶外活動。我們知道戶外意味著你要走出家門。

Maybe youll go to nature, or youll do some working out at some gyms, or outside places. Now we have sporty person.

也許你會到大自然中去，或者你會在健身房或室外的場地鍛煉。我們可以說運(yùn)動型的人。

What a sporty person means is that they like to do a lot of sports. They like to be athletic and they like to be active.

運(yùn)動型的人的意思是他們喜歡做很多運(yùn)動。他們喜歡運(yùn)動，他們很活躍。

So these are active people who like sports and they like moving. So if someone asks you what kind of activities do you like to do, you can say, well, I am a sporty person.

所以這些很活躍的人很喜歡運(yùn)動并且好動。所以如果有人問你你喜歡進(jìn)行什么活動，你可以說，嗯，我是一個(gè)運(yùn)動型的人。

So usually when I have free time, I like to go out and play some soccer with my friends. I like to play badminton.

所以通常有空的時(shí)候，我喜歡和朋友一起踢足球。我喜歡打羽毛球。

I like to throw a frisbee with people. Moving on, a fitness fanatic.

我喜歡跟人扔飛盤。繼續(xù)，健身狂。

Now when you see the word fanatic, that means they are really really into something, so almost like obsessed. But we can also just say super into something.

當(dāng)你看到“狂熱”這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候，這表示他們真的很喜歡某個(gè)事物，幾乎是癡迷了。但我們也可以說超級喜歡某物。

And of course fitness we know means being fit, so you can say, well, I am a fitness fanatic, so I like to go to the gym. I like to go running.

當(dāng)然，我們知道健身意味著健康，所以你可以說，嗯，我是個(gè)健身狂，所以我喜歡去健身房。我喜歡跑步。

I like to play sports. I like to do anything thats active.

我喜歡體育運(yùn)動。我喜歡做任何活躍的事情。

I could never stay at home and be a couch potato. So these are people that are very serious about being fit.

我永遠(yuǎn)都不能待在家里成為沙發(fā)土豆。這些人非常認(rèn)真地對待健身這件事。

Moving on, enjoy the social side of something. So these people are not fanatics.

繼續(xù)，享受某件事的社交方面。這些人不是狂熱者。

They are much more relaxed or chill. So you can say, you know, I like going to gym, but I enjoy the social side of gym.

他們更加放松。所以你可以說，你知道的，我喜歡去健身房，但我喜歡健身房社交的一面。

I am not really into lifting weights, but I like going with my friends to the gym and talking while Im there. Get into shape, of course, we know means making your body look nice or get a good shape.

我真的不是很喜歡舉重，但是我喜歡和朋友一起去健身房，并且在那里聊天。塑身，當(dāng)然我們知道這意味著讓你的身材看起來不錯或獲得良好的身材。

So you can say, you know, I like to get into shape by going to the gym, or I like to get into shape by walking my dog, or running outside. So that generally means making your body look nicer and getting rid of your fat.

所以你可以說，你知道的，我喜歡去健身房塑身，或者我喜歡遛狗來塑身，或在戶外跑步。所以這通常意味著使你的身體看起來更好，并且擺脫脂肪。

Improve my conditioning, or another word for that is my stamina, or another word for that is my fitness. So you can say, I am an active person, I enjoy outdoor activities to improve my stamina.

改善我的狀況，或者換句話說，我的耐力，或著另一個(gè)表示這個(gè)意思的詞是我的健康。所以你可以說，我很活躍，我喜歡進(jìn)行戶外活動來改善自己的耐力。

So I will go hiking, or I will go mountain climbing to improve my conditioning so I can get more fit, so that I can get into shape. I am not a fanatic, but I enjoy the social side of mountain climbing.

所以我會去遠(yuǎn)足或去爬山以改善我的狀況，這樣我就能變得更健康，我就能塑身。我不是個(gè)狂熱者，但我喜歡登山社交的一面。

Now we will be looking at some verbs that you can use to describe what kind of exercises that you like to do. So lets start with the word take.

現(xiàn)在我們要學(xué)習(xí)一些你可以用來描述你喜歡做的鍛煉的類型的動詞。我們從“take”一詞開始。

We can use take, for example, to say I like to take a walk after work, or I like to take a brisk, brisk meaning fast or strong, something that makes you breathe, you know, not an easy walk. I like to take a brisk walk in the morning to get me ready for the day.

例如，我們可以使用“take”來說我喜歡下班后散步，或者我喜歡快步走，快步走指的是很快的或很強(qiáng)的，能夠讓你喘氣的散步，并不輕松。我早上喜歡快走，讓我為這一天做好準(zhǔn)備。

Another way we can use the word take is if we say take up and what that means is to start something, start something new. So you can say, you know, Im thinking of taking up exercising, or another example, kungfu.

我們使用“take”的另一種方式是說“take up”，這意味著開始做一些新的事情。所以你可以說，你知道的，我在考慮開始鍛煉，或者再舉一個(gè)例子，開始學(xué)習(xí)功夫。

Im thinking, Im thinking I want to take up kungfu. Ive been reading a lot about it and I think Im ready for it.

我在考慮開始學(xué)習(xí)功夫。我讀了很多關(guān)于它的內(nèi)容，我想我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。

So just remember dont confuse the two. You can take a walk or you can take a break, but take up means to start something new.

所以請記住不要混淆這兩個(gè)說法。你可以散步，或休息一下，但是 take up 表示開始一些新的東西。

Im going to start taking up boxing. Moving on, lets look at the word play.

我要開始學(xué)習(xí)拳擊。繼續(xù)，我們看一下“play”這個(gè)詞。

Play is usually used when were talking about sports. So when you say that you do sports, we will generally say, I like to play tennis, or I like to play badminton with my family, or I like to play baseball on Saturdays.

通常我們在談?wù)撨\(yùn)動的時(shí)候會使用 play 這個(gè)詞。所以當(dāng)你說你進(jìn)行運(yùn)動時(shí)，我們通常會說我喜歡打網(wǎng)球，或我喜歡和家人一起打羽毛球，或我喜歡在星期六打棒球。

You can also use the word play in different forms. For example, I play for a local team in my city.

所以只要記住 play 這個(gè)詞通常用于運(yùn)動或涉及團(tuán)隊(duì)的事物。繼續(xù)，我們要看 go 這個(gè)詞。

Go and run. So go is usually used for something like exercise or fitness, or an activity that will give you fitness.

Go 和 run。所以 go 通常用于運(yùn)動或健身之類的活動，或者能讓你健康的活動。

So you can say, I like to go swimming sometimes, or I like to go running in my spare time. Sometimes I will go jogging, if its not too late.

所以你可以說，我有時(shí)候喜歡游泳，或者我喜歡在業(yè)余時(shí)間跑步。如果還不算太晚，有時(shí)我會慢跑。

Or, on a Sunday, I like to go hiking in the mountain. The word run will be used specifically for the activity of running.

或者在周日我喜歡去山里遠(yuǎn)足。而 run 這個(gè)詞的專門針對跑步這個(gè)活動的。

But we can run in different places, so just remember to add the places name and what kind of running you will be doing. I go running on a track.

但是我們可以在不同的地方跑步，所以只要記得加上地名和你將要進(jìn)行的跑步類型即可。我在賽道上跑步。

Now a track is usually at a school or at a stadium, which has a track layout. Or you can run on a treadmill.

賽道通常在學(xué)?；蝮w育場內(nèi)，它有軌道布局?；蛘吣憧梢栽谂懿綑C(jī)上跑。

Now if you dont know what a treadmill is, a treadmill is like a running machine that you can find in the gym. So you can say, this afternoon, I will run on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

最后，你可能會被問到這個(gè)問題：你喜歡去健身房嗎，或者你多久鍛煉一次，或者你為什么去健身房？你可以使用這些詞來表示你多久去一次，或你有多喜歡做它。

So when someone asks you, do you go to the gym, you can use the words work out. Or if you want to sound more casual, hit the gym, which of course is a slang word.

所以當(dāng)有人問你，你去不去健身房，你可以使用“鍛煉”一詞。或者如果你想聽起來更隨意，可以用 hit，當(dāng)然這是個(gè)俚語。

Were not really going to hit the gym. It just means go to the gym.

我們并不是真的要去打健身房。這只是意味著去健身房。

So you can say I, I work out to bulk up. Now what bulk up means is to get more size.

Alright, just remember the word head and handles. And we have the word spare tire.

好的，只要記住單詞 head 和 handles。我們還有備胎（啤酒肚）這個(gè)說法。

Now a spare tire of course is if youre a man and you have a big round tummy, so a spare tire is a big round tummy. So you can say, if you want to lose weight, oh, I work out to get rid of weight.

當(dāng)然，如果你是男性，而且肚子很大，所以啤酒肚指的是大肚子。所以你可以說，如果你要減肥，哦，我鍛煉來減少體重。

You know, Im trying to get rid of my spare tire. And Ive got these love handles that I really want to get rid of.

你知道的，我正在努力擺脫我的啤酒肚。我很想擺脫長的這些腰部贅肉。

Or if you want to get muscles and get strong, you say, you know, I hit the gym every day because I want to bulk up and I want to get cut, or get shredded, or get jacked, or get ripped. So the words cut, shredded, jacked, and ripped all mean the same thing.

或者如果你想增加肌肉變得強(qiáng)壯，你說，你知道的，我每天都去健身房，因?yàn)槲蚁胱儔褜?shí)，我想變得精壯。所以這些詞的意思都是一樣的。

It means that you get muscles and you lose the fat. So we can see the definition of the muscles.

它指的是你增加肌肉，減少脂肪。所以我們可以看到肌肉的定義。

So that usually means something like you can see the lines, and you can see the six-pack. So thats what it means.

它通常指你可以看到的線條，你可以看到腹部六塊肌肉。這就是它的意思。

And how do we bulk up? How do we get cut or get jacked or get ripped?

So at the gym, I will lift dumbbells and Ill do a bench press. Now what is a bench?

所以在健身房我會舉啞鈴，我還會做臥推。什么是長椅？

The bench of course is this bench at the gym something you can lie on. And a bench press is if you take the dumbbells up and lift it down to hit your chest.

當(dāng)然長椅指的是健身房里你可以躺上去的椅子。臥推指的是你舉起啞鈴，然后把它放下直到碰到你的胸部。

So we can also use the word hit for your body parts. So if somebody says, do you like to go to the gym, how often do you go to the gym, you can say I work out every day, and when I go to the gym, I want to bulk up and get shredded.

所以我們也可以把 hit 這個(gè)詞和你的身體部位連用。所以如果某人說，你喜歡去健身房嗎，你多久去一次健身房，你可以說我每天都鍛煉，我去健身房時(shí)，我想讓自己變得壯實(shí)，精壯。
