The following article is to tell you how to behave better in an IELTS oral English test. Everyone will make necessary preparations for some possible topics in order to increase your performance in the interview. 1. What would you do if you were asked in an interview to talk about how you feel about your hometown if in fact you really dislike living there?

Some people might think that being truthful in this situation and giving a negative answer, they would not do the right thing. 2. Talk about how they love living there and give a positive answer which sounds more attractive.

3. And giving a negative opinion of something is not important, either. 4. If you have more to say by being truthful, even if it is to express a negative opinion, then that is what you should talk about.

5. And follow it up with your reasons for disliking it instead of saying "I like my hometown… " and then struggle to find something to say.

We should consider how to deal with this situation in the best way.

A.Instead, they try to hide their true feelings.

B.What is your true feeling about your hometown?

C.The important thing is that you have something to express.

D.However, sometimes you will be asked to talk about something that you don't really like or don't really want to talk about.

E.No one should have a negative feeling about their hometown.

F.It would be much better to say "Actually I don't really like my hometown..."

G.Actually, truthfulness is not important in such an interview.

We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going.Too often we blame(责怪)someone else.‘‘I wish my parents were more understanding.”

“I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!”

“My friends are so boring and self-centered.They make my life worse and worse.’’

Blame! Blame! Blame!

It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song,but the truth is,if you don’t like your life,you should do something about it.No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need.No one can read your mind correctly.You are the only one with the power to check your life,and if you want it to be different,you can change what you’re doing.

When you’re in trouble,don’t give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act.Other people can’t make you unhappy or angry.They only act in their own way and then it’s up to you to decide how you will respond(回应).For example,your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry.How are you going to act? You may blame your friends,“They are not kind.Who needs them anyway?” Or you may tell your friends how you feel,listen to their explanation,and let them know you’d like to be invited next time.

When you decide everything in your own way,you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping(塑造)it according to your tastes and feelings.You can choose to be happy,to make friends and to build an interesting life.When you blame others for what is or isn’t happening in your life,you have stopped growing or learning.

One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action.The only person you have the right to change is yourself.Once you change,the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible.If you want change in your life,begin with yourself.
