(2017年9月雅思口语真题）
Do people in your country prefer traditional or modern styles of furniture?
在你的国家，人们更喜欢传统风格还是现代风格的家具？
思路解析：
这是一道仁者见仁智者见智的问题，只需要根据你知道的/认为的，或是选择你觉得便于表达的方向来说明自己的观点即可。
参考例子：
First and foremost, different strokes for different folks. There are different ways of doing something that can be appropriate for different people. Tastes differ and people's choice usually depends on what they like and need. But for me, I definitely go for the modern style. From my experience though, I would say many young people prefer modern furniture.
Third, I think many pieces of traditional furniture are very beautiful. But the truth is, either style has its place in both personal and business settings. In my humble opinion, traditional style should be used in historic buildings. I still prefer a fresher look in my home.

2.Tom的沙发床在大部分国家都通过了睡眠测试，除了一个国家——美国。重新测试则意味着这款产品不能及时在全球发布了。不过好在，沙发床最终顺利通过了再一次的测试。
3.关于产品目录封面的选择，委员会做出了最终决定，他们没有采纳Sarah的建议。这不免有些令人失望，但Sarah没有气馁，她已经开始设想明年的目录封面了。她依然会不断努力，争取让封面上出现更多的生活元素。
retell
During Simon’s trip to Almhult, what impressed him the most was the spirit of IKEA - togetherness. Every co-worker is of vital importance to IKEA’s development and success. It is the spirit of togetherness that created today’s empire of IKEA.Tom’s sofa bed had passed the sleeping tests in all the countries, except in the US. The consequence of doing a re-test was that it wouldn’t be on time for the global launch. Fortunately, the sofa bed successfully passed the re-test at last. The council had made their final decision about the selection of the front cover. It is kind of disappointing that they didn’t take Sarah’s advice. But Sarah didn’t feel discouraged. She was already thinking about the next year’s catalogue. She would keep fighting and try to have more life on the front cover in the future.
