Pets and Animals What's your favourite animal? Why? My favourite animal has to be koalas. They are so cuddly and chill. I first saw them three years ago when I came to Australia, and they have been my favourite animal since. They sleep for 20 hours per day, and when they wake up, they eat. What a lifestyle! Where do you prefer to keep your pet, indoors or outdoors? If I had a pet, I would want to keep it indoors. I would worry about it a lot if I kept it outdoors, especially at night in winter when it can get really cold. I also don’t want them to feel neglected. Have you ever had a pet before? Yes. When I was in primary school, I had a dog. It was white and fluffy. I always played with it when I got home and it was my best companion then. However, one day, it went missing. I was sad for a long time. What is the most popular animal in China? I think both cats and dogs are popular. When you walk on the street, you can see many people walking their dogs. Dogs are friendly and loyal. Some people prefer cats, as cats are quieter and low-maintenance. They keep you company yet do not seek too much attention.

大家好，欢迎来到我的第一期播客，这期播客聊一下怎么回答2026年第一季度Part1的一道新题Food. 我会先回答， 然后解析我的回答，最后在11:27开始只有纯回答。如果你喜欢我的节目，就请给我点赞评论吧。 回答如下： Food What is your favourite food? My favourite food has to be(必须得是，带感情色彩) hotpot. There are different soup bases(汤底) you can choose from, like spicy, tomato, mushroom and so on. Then you can cook whatever you want in the pot. There are also different types of dipping sauce(蘸料), such as peanut sesame sauce, oil dipping sauce, and seafood-flavour dipping sauce. It’s so good! What kind of food did you like when you were young? When I was younger, I liked different types of noodles. I’m from Shanxi province, which is known as(以…而著名) the noodle province. We’re famous for a variety of noodles. My mum can cook really tasty noodles, and I always looked forward to her hand-made noodles (手工面) after school. They never disappointed me (它们从不让我失望). Do you eat different foods at different times of the year? Not really. I know there are different festivals where people are supposed to eat specific foods to celebrate.(很好的where引导的从句) However, because of the abundance and the fact that people are now more affluent,we can eat whatever we want whenever we want. Certain foods are no longer constrained to specific festivals (特定的食物不再是只能在特定的节日吃了). Has your favourite food changed since you were a child? Not really. I’ve always been a big fan of hotpot. When I was younger, I didn’t get to (无法做到…) eat hotpot that often. Every time my parents took me for hotpot, I felt thrilled(every time引导的时间状语从句). Now that I’ve tried different cuisines and foods from various countries, hotpot is still my favourite. It’s so special to me.

大家好，我是Xia。这是一期intro，就是介绍一下我为什么想来做这档播客。因为我刚做了这个决定比较激动，所以没有剪辑有点磕巴，希望不要介意。 这是一档雅思口语的节目，希望这档播客能在你的屠雅路上陪伴你。不管你是在去图书馆的路上，还是刚起床打开手机，还是在去上班上学的路上，还是在拥挤的地铁公交上，抑或其他的各种时刻，我希望我能陪伴你，给你一些灵感和帮助。
