(单词翻译:单击)

 雅思口语人物类话题会让大家描写“对社会有贡献的人”,“有着重要工作的人”,备考雅思的同学首先想到的是那些名流,比如马云先生啦,袁隆平教授啦,或者会想到一些有着崇高工作的人,例如医生啦,教师啦,消防员啦,不过很少有人会想到的是housewife是不是。这个unpaid1 and thankless job,可以说是the hardest job in the world了!还记得Desperate Housewives有一句口号么:Never underestimate a housewife. (暴露年龄贴……)

  Describe a person whose job is important to the society描述一个对社会有贡献的人
  I would like to talk about my mother. She used to be a public servant but now she is a full-time2 homemaker.
  Some people would argue, “That’s not a job!” But I believe, that’s the most important job in the whole wide world. They are called “homemaker” for a reason. I know they are not breadwinners, but they are the ones who make a house a home!
  And I think the most awesome3 part is, she already took the whole responsibility of a housewife when she was still a working mom.
  My dad always takes business trips, so he’s away all the time. My mom has to take care of the whole family, which includes 2 daughters, my grandma and a cat. Sometimes she has to be the mom and the dad. She’s really a multi-tasker who can wear several hats at the same time. If something doesn’t work, not a problem at all. She can fix everything, she can be a plumber4, a handyman, a vet5, and most importantly, she can be a teacher.
  We learned so much from her, like time management, sharing good stuff with others, independence and things like that. So basically, she makes me who I am today.
  Housewives are always underestimated, and they are doing an unpaid and thankless job, but they spend the most time with their children during their formative years, they’ll have a lasting6 influence on the younger generation, who happen to be the future of our society. So I guess that’s why I think housewives are important.
  这个答案是不是还可以变成a person who’s older than you that you admire?嗯,那样的话,最后一段就可以变成夸妈妈,例如:
  I really think my mom has done a great job as every role she has ever played.
  夸自己的妈妈,不难吧!开动吧!
