2021年9-12月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 13 Perfume 香水

1. Do you use perfume?

I like to wear perfume (涂抹香水）on special occasions. But I do not wear perfume every day as I think that is a little bit unnecessary and luxurious. However, wearing perfume is a lovely way to do something special on important days or when you want to make a good impression. Therefore, I like to wear perfume when going to parties or formal occasions such as job interviews. I always enjoy when people compliment me on the perfume that I am wearing.

2. Do you give perfume as a gift?

I think perfume is a lovely thing to give as a gift, but it does have some difficulties. Because there is such a large range of different perfumes it is hard to decide which perfume to give as a gift. People can have different tastes and it would be very upsetting if you gave someone a perfume they did not like. Therefore, I think perfume is only a good gift when you know the person really well and know what perfumes they like.

3. What does perfume mean to you?

Perfume means a lot to me. Personally, I think perfume is very special and I only use it on rare occasions. Therefore, I associate perfume with (把…联系在一起）a lot of special memories. Furthermore, though I use perfume rarely, my mother wears perfume every day. Therefore, perfume always makes me think of my mother, whom I love very much. Thus, I think perfume is very meaningful and I love when I can *ell it in the air.

4. What kind of perfume do you like?

My favourite kind of perfume is subtle and delicate. I think there are many perfumes which can be quite overpowering and garish (无法抵挡的和艳俗的）.I do not like these as I can find powerful *ells to be quite nauseating. Therefore, I really love delicate perfumes such as ones with mild floral notes. It is for these reasons that Chanel n.05 is my favourite perfume. I think its scent is very lovely and sophisticated. This was also my mother’s favourite perfume.
