嗨，亲爱的们，今天新航道的小编给大家分享的是雅思口语中周末“Weekends”这个话题那些素材可以运用上去。一般来说，针对“Weekends”展开的问题多集中于两个方面：1）周末做什么；2）周末对于人们的意义。常见的问题形式会是如下：
- What do you usually do on weekends?
- What do you plan to do for next weekend?
- What do other people in your hometown usually do on weekends?
- Do you often go to the cinema on weekends?
首先是针对与周末大家做了什么进行讨论。关于周末可以做的活动就有很多种选择。有的人喜欢和朋友去运动，有的人喜欢去打卡新的餐厅和商店，有的人喜欢独自去郊外旅行呼吸空气等...
例句：
One big hobby for me is discovering many small local restaurants in the city plus start-up stores to see what’s new and what’s coming.
Going on a solo vacation seems to be another tempting option, it’s always refreshing to embrace the excitement of exploring a new city, to get myself immersed in some cultural activities, for example taking a guided tour of a museum, or catching a live gig.
当然“Weekends”这个话题还可以和之前的Movie话题进行串联，因为除了一些以上列出的活动，周末很多朋友也会选择去电影院享受周末时光。因为可以在电影院追
例句：
I am very high on the idea of going to the cinema to watch the new releases either on my own or with the company of a partner, nothing beats a movie watching experience at the cinema, which is coupled with the large-sized screen, awesome surrounded sound speakers and delicious treats like popcorn and soda.
I am a bit fed up with being hunched in front of the screen at those large and dark cinemas, which are far less comfy as home, I often feel the pressure awkwardly when I have to sit next to some strangers as well. Plus, the price of movie tickets these days is ridiculously going through the roof, which is so unacceptable!
那Weekends的另一个话题讨论则是关于周末对于人们的意义。这个意义可以从两个角度来展开，从生理角度而言，周末意味着拥有了更多可独立支配的时间，可以拥有充足的时间去养精蓄锐，调整好个人状态；从精神角度而言，周末的空闲时间，也让人们从日复一日的工作或学习状态中抽离出来，去花时间在自己真正兴趣爱好的事物上，去丰富自己的精神世界，增加自己的见识等。
例句：
No doubt! Everyone looks forward to weekends when it’s finally the time to unplug from the day-to-day, to recharge and re-energize oneself, to reflect upon the deeds and progress of the week gone by and plan for the week ahead. Taking restful periods off work matters to our physical, mental and emotional health, since overwork and overscheduling can lead to dangerous breakdown in one’s wellness.
