雅思口语Part2话题卡：Describe a time when you tried to do something but was not very successful 尝试过但不太成功的经历

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这道题也不算很难。毕竟不是每个人都是天才，在学习或者生活过程中，难免会遇到一些竭尽全力却仍然无法成功的事情。比如学习打网球，却无论如何都无法掌握正确的挥拍姿势;比如高数课上认真听讲，课下还主动请教同学，但仍然无法及格;再比如按照网上教程做蛋糕，成品却要么乌黑一片，要么毫无造型可言。

题目

Describe a time when you tried to do something but was not very successful

You should say

When it was

What you tried

Why it was not very successful

And how you felt about it

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

The experience I am going to tell you about is that I tried to replace the tire of my car but failed. It was last month when I went on a self-drive tour to a tourist attraction in the countryside. The journey went pretty well at the beginning. I soon left the city and embarked on the highway.

我要告诉你的经历是我尝试给自己的汽车换轮胎，但失败了。那是上个月，我当时自驾前往郊外的一个旅游景点。旅程一开始很顺利，我很快离开城市，进入高速。

Then a warning suddenly popped up on the car screen, saying the front-right tire was losing pressure and suggesting I stopped immediately and checked. I pulled over by the road and found there was a nail in it. Since I was on the highway, it was unlikely that I could get any immediate help. So I decided to replace the tire by myself, which I had never done before.

突然一条警报出现在汽车的屏幕上。它说右前胎正在丧失压力，建议我们立刻停车检查。我在路边停下，发现里面有个钉子。由于正在高速上，我不太可能立刻获得帮助。所以我决定自己换轮胎。这是我之前从来都没有做过的事情。

I grabbed out my cellphone and searched how to do it on the internet. Luckily there were plenty of articles about this. And some of them not only elaborated the specific procedures, but also added pictures and videos to provide guidance. It seemed like a piece of cake. I found the spare wheel, the lifting jack and a wrench in the trunk, and then began my operation following the instruction of one article, but was stuck at the first step. I could not find the groove on the bottom of the car which was supposed to match the lifting jack and prevented it from moving.

我拿出手机，开始在网上搜索该怎么做。幸运的是，有许多这方面的文章。其中一些不仅详细说明了具体的步骤，而且还添加了图片和视频来提供指导。似乎很简单。我在后备箱找到备胎，千斤顶，以及扳手，然后按照网上的指示开始操作。但第1步就卡住了。我在汽车底部找不到固定千斤顶，防止它移动的凹槽。

Half an hour later, I gave up. I called 12122, the highway rescue number and waited for the professionals to come. I was frustrated, not only because my travel plan fell through, but also because I could not manage to complete such a simple task.

半个小时之后，我放弃了。我给12122打电话，等待专业人员的到来。我很沮丧，不仅仅是因为我的旅行计划泡汤了，而且还因为我无法完成如此简单的任务。

雅思口语Part2话题卡：Describe a time when you told your friend an important truth 告诉朋友一个重要的真相/告诉朋友实情

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

虽然这是一道非常贴近生活的话题卡。但要我们突然去讲述这么一个揭露事实真相的亲身经历的确会有一点点难度。因此，在考前进行充分的准备就显得格外重要了。那么，我们有哪些可以说的事情呢?这个truth可以是任何对方所不了解的实情/真相。而important可以是对别人来说很重要，也可以说是对自己来说很重要。例如，关乎到朋友未来发展、心情或者生活质量之类的事情都可以。大家可以先花几分钟自己思考思考，回一下自己丰富的人生经历中有哪些值得去讲述的，然后按照如下的题目进行口头描述一番，最后再参考给的答案进行学习。

题目

Describe a time when you told your friend an important truth

You should say:

Who your friend is

What the truth was

What your friend’s reaction was

And explain why you think it was important to tell your friend the truth

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A time when I told my friend a vital truth happened more than a decade ago while I was in primary school.

一次我告诉朋友实情的经历发生在十多年前，那会儿我还在上小学。

This friend, Zhang Xue, was actually my neighbor and classmate who I had many interactions with at home and school in my childhood. Well, the truth was that I had broken the harmonica that she had lent to me for my music course and that the one I gave back to her was actually a new one that I bought at the store, though they look nearly the same.

这位朋友叫做张雪，在童年的时候，她其实既是我的同学也是我的邻居。实情就是，我弄坏了她借给我在音乐课上需要用的口琴，并且我还给了她一个我在商店买的新的口琴，虽然它们看起来几乎是一样的。

Well, initially, she was a little bit overwhelmed by the truth I told her, judging by her jaw-dropping facial expression. But, then, probably several seconds, she resisted her emotion and stayed calm. Honestly, I felt embarrassed and guilty to break her musical equipment, but I ended up mustering up my courage to tell her the truth no matter what would happen.

起初，在我告诉她实情之后，她有点茫然不知所措，从她惊讶的表情里可以看出来这一点。但是，过了一会儿，大概几秒钟吧，她抑制住了情绪，保持了冷静。老实说，我在搞坏她的乐器之后觉得很尴尬很内疚。但是，不管最后会发生啥事儿，我还是鼓足勇气告诉了她这个真相。

Well, I think I wanted to tell her the truth was out of my conscience. You know, I was told not to lie to others by my parents since I began my schooling. The feeling of hiding the truth by a lie really sucked during that period of time. Also, I thought this harmonica was quite meaningful to her, so it would hurt her even more if I didn’t tell the truth.

我告诉她这个实情是出于我的良知。我从开始上学那会儿，父母就教导我不要对别人说谎。那个时间段，用谎言来掩盖真相的滋味儿真是不好受。除此之外，这口琴对她来说很有意义。所以，不告诉她实情会让她更难过。

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

请北京新航道、上海新航道、以及智课网等机构不要抄袭本站的文章。

A time I managed to handle a problem through the Internet was in last winter while I was preparing my final.

一次我借助网络解决问题的经历发生在去年的冬天，那个时候我正在准备我的期末考试。

I was then a second-year student at our senior high school and was enrolled in a course called Python, which was about programming. Even though we were high school kids, our teacher was strict with us and gave us lots of assignments to finish. You know, those assignments were not easy at all and often needed quite a while to finish.

我当时是个高中二年级的学生，而且选修了一门叫Phython的编程课程。即便我们是高中学生，我们老师对我们很严苛，要求我们完成特别多的作业。这些作业一点都不容易，而且需要花费很多时间完成。

I remember there’s a problem that kind of made me stuck for hours. I was supposed to design a mini calculator with some Chinese instruction. I was about to finish it after three hours of hard work. But the thing was that my finished piece was somehow not effective in making the calculator work. This article is from Laokaoya website. I checked all the lines of code and didn’t find anything wrong. You know, that was the day when this assignment was due, and I felt a little bit edgy.

我记得有那么一个问题困扰了我好几个小时。我当时得做一个带有中文指示的迷你计算器。经过几小时的努力，我当时就快要做好了。但是问题就是这个完成的作品不知怎么的不能让计算器运行。我检查了所有的代码，没有发现什么问题。那天正是交作业的截止日期，我有些着急了。

I called my classmate Jia Hua, and he suggested me to search for the solution on Github, which was a platform for programmers. I googled it and registered an account of this website and posted a question regarding this issue. To my surprise, I got a responding thread in 15 minutes and I was told that the problem would probably be the language translation issue. All I needed to do was to insert an additional line of code to run it. You know I ended up solving this question in just half an hour!

我给我的同学Jia Hua打了电话，他建议我在Github网站上找找解决方案，这是一个程序员的平台。我当时谷歌了一下，然后在这个网站上注册了账户并发了有关这个问题的帖子。让我很吃惊的是，十五分钟内就收到了留言，告诉我可能是在语言编译上出了问题。我所需要做的只是加上一行代码即可。然后我就在半小时内解决了这个问题!

I felt so grateful that I was able to tackle this problem with the help of the Internet. I would definitely seek help from this website if I had more questions in the future.

我真是超级感动，能借助网络解决掉这个问题。如果未来我还有一些问题的话，我也绝 对会来这个网站寻求帮助。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you shared something with others (or another person) 描述一次你与他人分享事物的经历

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这道口语话题卡的难度适中，也非常贴近生活。我们从小到大一定同别人分享过各种各样的东西。可以小到一本书，也可以大到自己花费很大心血做出来的成果，例如发明、创意点子等等。大家可以说实物，也可以说那些虚拟的概念性的事物，只要言之有理即可。建议大家先看着如下题目思考一分钟(并做笔记)，然后口头回答一番，最后再参考给出的参考答案进行再次学习和练习。

Why you shared it

And explain how you felt about sharing it

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A time I shared something with others happened last Christmas which was right before the Covid 19 outbreak.

一次我和与他人分享东西的经历发生在上个圣诞节，正好就是在疫情爆发之前。

A foreign friend of mine named Jake invited me to attend a potluck at his apartment in Wuhan. You know, it was hard to find a turkey in China as the main course. So, I brought a homemade Chinese salt water duck instead to share with others.

我的一个叫Jake的外国朋友邀请我在他武汉的公寓参加聚餐。在中国很难找到火鸡用来做主菜。所以，我给他们带了一个自己在家做好的咸水鸭。

Honestly, I was not familiar with most of the guests at his home. Jake told me they were his colleagues who were also ex-pats like him and treated me in a very good manner at the gathering. At the very beginning, I thought this duck would not suit their appetite. But, they ended up enjoying this food pretty much.

老实说，我当时对他家里的客人并不熟悉。Jake告诉我他们都是和他一样的在这里工作的外国同事。他们在聚会的时候对我特别有礼貌。一起开始，我觉得这鸭子可能不太适合他们的口味。不过，他们吃了之后还是感到非常享受的。

I feel that one of the reasons why I shared it with them was that this was probably the most ideal alternative to turkey I could think of. Plus, I wanted to introduce this delicious traditional Chinese food to those foreign guests.

我认为我要和他们分享这个的原因是咸水鸭是我当时能够想到的可以替换火鸡的最好选择。除此之外，我也挺想把这款中国传统食物介绍给那些外国客人们。

Well, I definitely feel a sense of achievement. You know, it took me a whole afternoon to cook it, and their satisfying smiles really made my day.

我当时感到特别有成就感。做咸水鸭花了我一个下午的时间。能够看到他们满意的笑容挺开心的。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you saw something interesting on social media 描述一次你在社交媒体上看见有意思的事情经历(社交媒体趣事)

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案。

社交媒体(social media)在雅思考试中算是比较新的一个话题，曾经也没有在Part two话题卡中出现过。那么，什么样的东西算作社交媒体呢?一般而言，能够与他人公开分享即时信息的平台都可以算作这一类。例如，大家比较常用的微信(尤其是朋友圈)、微博，还有国外的Facebook，twitter以及Instagram等。

题目

Describe a time when you saw something interesting on social media

You should say:

When it was

Where you saw it

What you saw

And explain why you think it was interesting

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

Something interesting I saw on social media that I’d like to talk about is a milk tea brand that has gone viral in China.

我在社交媒体上看到的一个有意思的事情是关于一款在中国爆红的奶茶。

I can’t remember the exact date when it became a hit. But, I’m pretty sure it happened last December. I saw a piece of news on Wechat that told a Hunan-based Milktea called Chayuanyuese had stretched out its first branch store in Wuhan, which is in another province, and caused a craze both on the internet and offline. You know, there were thousands of guests who spent hours waiting in line to get a cup of 20 RMB milk tea. What made it even crazier was that the price had been inflated ten times and it was still not easy to order.

我不太记得它是具体哪个日子火起来的。但是，我比较确定的是，这件事情发生在去年十二月的时候。我在微信上看到一则新闻。当时有一家叫做“茶园悦色”的湖南奶茶品牌在武汉开了首 个分店，然后在线上和线下产生了巨大反响。当时有成千上万的人排着几个小时的队伍点一杯二十元人民币的奶茶。更加疯狂的是，奶茶的价格被吵到了十倍以上却依然很难订到。

I saw a myriad of youngsters lining and taking pictures with the milk tea and then uploaded them on social media platforms like Instagram, Weibo and WeChat circle to show off. You know, being able to drink this product has become a fashion. It literally resembles the American Starbuck, and I think it is way more exaggerated than that.

我看到无数的年轻人排着队然后和奶茶拍照，然后把照片发到诸如Ins、微博还有微信朋友圈上分享展现出来。能够喝上这奶茶已经成为了一种时尚。它简直就是模仿了美国的星巴克。而且，比星巴克还要疯狂。

Well, the reason why I feel that it was interesting is that this is the first time I’ve heard of people waiting crazily for just a cup of drink. You know, the founder and their marketing team must be brilliant enough to design such a marvelous plan that fully makes the most of the psychology of consumer behaviors.

我觉得这件事情比较有意思是因为这还是我第1次看到人们为了杯饮料疯狂排队。这个奶茶的创始人和他的市场团队一定很精明才能够策划出这样一个能够抓住消费者行为心理的方案出来。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you saw children behave badly in public 描述你在公众场合见到的不礼貌的小孩/熊孩子

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这道雅思口语P2话题卡为本季度的新题，在最近几年未曾出现过。它要求考生描述小孩行为举止不得体的一次行为。大家在生活中一定经历过很多次这样的事情，选择一件自己印象深刻的来说即可。至于什么样的行为属于behave badly，见仁见智。总得来说，只要是与公德和礼节违背即可。除此之外，描述的事件一定要是在public place(公共场合)发生的事情，不然会有跑题的情况。

题目

You should say

Where it was

What the children were doing

How others reacted to it

And explain how you felt about it

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

I’d like to tell you an ill-mannered kid that I saw in public last summer.

我想给你讲述一个我去年夏天见到的熊孩子。

I saw this kid while I was walking through a corridor with my elder sister who was about to have a hot pot with me at Wanda Plaza, which is one of the biggest shopping and recreational centers in our city.

我当时和我的姐姐正在万达广场(我们市最 大的购物娱乐中心之一)的走廊上准备去吃火锅，然后看到这位小孩。

When I saw the kid, who was about 7 to 8 years old, he was squatting beside a tall Christmas tree. I thought he might be waiting for his parents at that place. But, when we walked closer to him, a pungent smell smashed at our faces. Soon I realized that he was pooing!

乍一看，我看到那个小孩差不多七八岁样子吧，蹲在一棵高高的圣诞树旁边。我当时想着他可能在等他的爸妈。但是，当我们靠近他的时候，一股浓烈的臭味拍打在我们脸上。瞬间我就意识到他在拉屎!

There weren’t many passersby but a young couple who saw this were frowning at each other. Maybe it’s also an unacceptable surprise for them?

当时虽然没有太多路人，但是有一堆年轻情侣看到这一幕之后互相皱了眉头。或许，这对他们来说一个是一个无法接受的惊喜?

Well, I definitely felt so bad and was even about to vomit before seeing my hot pot. I know it could be that the kid didn’t find the toilet. But, didn’t his parents taught him how to avoid embarrassing others? I feel that the best way is to think ahead to find a toilet before having no choice but poo in public.

我当时感觉特别糟糕，在见到我的火锅之前我甚至都快要吐了。我知道那小孩可能没有找到厕所。但是，难道他父母就没有教导过避免让其他人尴尬吗?我觉得最好的方式就是在无路可走只能当众拉屎之前就提前想着找个厕所去。

And how you felt about it

参考答案

The good news I am going to tell you is the peony park in our city was finally completed. It is built along the river, stretching out for 11 kilometers. The government introduced various plants, constructed a rubber dam, planted a huge number of peonies and set up a wide range of entertainment facilities there, including a 400-meter standard plastic track, six badminton courts and several table tennis tables.

我要告诉的好 消息是我们城市的牡丹花园终于完工了。它沿着河修建，长11公里。政府引入了多种多样的植物，建造了橡胶坝，种植了大量的牡丹，并设立了许多不同的娱乐设施，包括400米长的标准塑胶跑道，六个羽毛球场，以及几个乒乓球桌。

It was a summer afternoon, the hottest time during a day. The sun was burning the land, and even a short walk outside was like torture. I was staying at home and after I finally finished all the homework, I decided to watch my favorite TV series as a reward.

那是个夏日的午后，一天中最热的时候。太阳炙烤着大地，即使在外面走一小段路也跟受刑一样。我待在家里。在终于完成所有的作业之后，我决定看看我最喜欢的电视剧作为奖励。

When I turned on the TV, it was broadcasting this piece of news. The host briefly introduced all the features and then played a short film of the park. What a beautiful place it was.

当我打开电视机，它正好播到这则新闻。主持人简单的介绍了它的特征，然后播放了一部关于公园的短片。多么漂亮的一个地方。

This park would greatly enrich people’s lives, especially those who live nearby. In the past, most of them would choose to stay at home and watch TV after dinner, but now they could take a walk or participate in physical activities. That is why I think it was a good piece of news

公园会极大地丰富人们的生活，尤其是那些住在附近的人的生活。过去，他们大多数人在吃完晚饭之后会选择待在家里或者看电视。但现在他们可以散个步，或者参与到体育活动中去。这就是我为什么认为它是个好 消息的原因

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you received money as a present 收到钱作礼物

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

直接给钱作为礼物这么简单粗暴的方式在国内感觉还是很少见的。但仔细想想的话，也不是不可能。首先，朋友之间足够熟悉，懒得买礼物直接给钱。这在男生或者女生之间都有可能发生。其次，父母给的压岁钱。这要看各个家庭的传统。比如小编就从来没有收到过压岁钱。最后，结婚时给的礼钱，不过这对于大多数备考的同学来说可能有些太早了。

题目

Describe a time when you received money as a present

You should say:

Who gave it

When you received it

What you did with it

How you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

The experience I am going to tell you happened between my best friend and me. We have been classmates since high school and now we even live in the same dormitory. He is an energetic boy, crazy about basketball. He is also careless, not very good at picking gifts.

我要告诉你的经历发生在我的好朋友和我之间。我们从高中开始就是同班同学。现在我们甚至住在一个宿舍。他是个精力充沛的男生，非常喜欢打篮球。他也很粗心，不太擅长挑选礼物。

June the 13th was my birthday. Do not copy or repost it. He had been preparing for this since a month ago, mainly thinking about what he should give as a present. I was also curious, but I did not ask. On that day, he gave me a small box. I could not wait to open it and found 500 RMB lying there. He said he did not know what I wanted, so he left the choice to me.

6月13号是我的生日。他从一个月前就开始准备，主要思考自己要拿什么作为礼物。我也很好奇，但没有问。生日那天，他给了我一个小盒子。我迫不及待地打开它，发现里面躺着500块钱。他说他不知道我想要什么，于是将选择留给我。

With this money, I bought a shuffle, which is a small, convenient music player produced by Apple. I had longed for it for about a year, but did not have the enough money. I loved it so much that I carried it wherever I went.

用这些钱，我买了个shuffle。它是苹果公司出的小型音乐播放器。我渴望拥有它已经一年多了，但一直没有钱。我如此喜欢它以至于无论去哪我都带着。

When I received the money, I was a little surprised at first, because it is quite rare for people to do this in Chinese culture. But then I was happy because I could choose something I really wanted, not just accepted what they thought I wanted, which often went wrong. So I like this present.

当我收到钱的时候，一开始有些吃惊。因为在中国文化里很少有人这么做。但随即就开心起来，因为我可以选择一些我真正想要的东西，而不是被动接受他们认为我想要的东西，这经常出错。因此，我喜欢这个礼物。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you missed an appointment 描述一次你错过约定的经历/失约

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这是一道旧题翻新的话题卡，难度系数适中。发现之前有同学在理解appointment上会有一定的误区。这里的appointment并非仅仅是date(谈恋爱时的约会)。appointment在英文词典中已经解释的非常清晰：a formal arrangement to meet or visit sb at a particular time, especially for a reason connected with their work。也就是说，appointment主要是那种工作上的事情或者比较严肃的事情的约定。在理解了其定义之后，相信大家一定能够想到自己生活中的具体经历了。

题目

Describe a time when you missed an appointment

You should say:

When it was

Who you made it with

Why you missed it

And how you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

Well, a time when I missed an appointment was missing my best friend Wang Lei’s birthday party.

一次我错过别人的约定就是错过了我最好的朋友Wang Lei的生日庆祝会。

It was about last summer when I just graduated from senior high school. As usual, I accepted Wang’s invitation to his party, which will be held at his grand villa, and he promised that this time we would have more fun together.

这大概是在去年夏天，我们那个时候刚从高中毕业。和往常一样，我接受了Wang的生日聚会邀请，这个聚会会在他家的豪华别墅内举办，他也想我保证，这次我们一定会玩得很开心。

I actually knew Wang’s birthday by heart because I had celebrated his birthday for two years. However, that summer was a bit special. You know, my father wanted me to have an internship in a company of his friend, hoping that I could make the most of my summer before college. So, I followed his advice and went to Beijing, which was far away from my hometown, and started my six consecutive weeks of working. The internship was so intensive and I didn’t even realize that I missed his birthday until I refresh his Wechat moment, where he posted lots of nice photos of his party.

我其实对Wang的生日记得很清楚的，因为我为他庆祝了两年的生日了。但是，那个夏天有点特殊。我爸爸想让我把上大学前的那个暑假充分利用起来，于是想让我去他朋友家的公司实习。我采纳了他的建议，然后就去了北京，这距离我家乡特别远，然后我就开始了连续不断的六周工作。实习强度很大，我甚至都没有意识到我错过了他的生日庆祝，是我刷到了他微信朋友圈发出来的很多张不错的生日聚会照片才意识到的。

Well, I think the main reason why I missed the appointment was that the heavy workload just diverted my attention from my personal social network entirely. It was at that time that I truly felt I was not a multi-tasker.

我觉得我错过这个约定的主要原因就是工作量太大，分散了我对个人交际关系的注意力。就是在那个时候我才知道我不是一个多线程办事的人。

I felt guilty about this incidence because he was my best friend, and I should’ve set up a reminder or something beforehand.

我对这次事件感到内疚，因为他是我最要好的朋友，我应该事先设置好一个备忘录的。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you learned from a mistake you have made 从错误中学习

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这口语话题卡属于当季的口语新题，不过曾在16年的时候也出现过一次。该题目的难度系数适中。我们从小到大，一路走来，必定会犯过这样那样的错误，这些错误也促使了我们的成长。因此，不妨建议大家看到题目之后闭上眼睛静下心来思考一分钟，回忆一下人生当中有哪些比较记忆深刻的错误。除此之外，这里的错误不分大小，只要大家能够把自己曾经犯过的错误描述清楚即可。

题目

Describe a time when you learned from a mistake you have made

You should say:

What it is

When you made it

How you made it

And how you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A mistake that I have made was actually choosing the major in my college studies.

一个我犯的错误就是选大学专业。

It was about two years ago when I finished my Kaogao, which is the College Entrance Exam. I knew right after I took the exam that the ultimate score I got would not be enough to let me choose a good major if I wanted to pick up my target university.

大约是两年前我参加完高考之后的事情。我参加完考试之后立马就觉得我最终的分数无法让选一个目标院校的好专业。

My parents were very concerned about me as I was feeling blue since I finished my exam, and wanted to give me a hand. So, they brought me many magazines regarding how to select a correct major and school. But, they didn’t get into the action and let me make the decision.

我当时参加完考试之后一直郁郁寡欢，我的父母很担心我，也想帮助我一下。他们给我拿来了很多关于如何选择合适专业和择校的杂志。但是，他们并没有插手这个行为，让我自己做决定。

Well, you might never know how depressed I was. I had dreamed about going to my ideal university since the first day of my senior high school. You know, regardless of how important they kept emphasizing the choice of a good major was, I ended up applying to the university I had dreamed of studying at and selected a major that I was actually not fond of.

你可能不太晓得我当时是如何沮丧。我从我高中第1天开始就梦想着去我的理想的大学。不管父母如何强调选择专业的重要性，我还是申请了梦想就读的大学，然后选择了一个我其实不喜欢的专业。

I didn’t regret much until last semester when I felt this major, which was accounting, really boring. I felt how silly I was when I made that mistake of choosing the wrong major. You know, I can’t change it right now as the time and school rules don’t allow me to do so. So, what I could do is to keep a good record of my studies and apply for another one after graduation.

我在上个学期的的时候开始后悔我选择的这个非常无聊的会计专业。我觉得当时我犯错选择了一个错误的专业是真的很愚蠢。由于时间关系以及学校规定，我现在无法改变了。所以，我现能够做的就是保证好我现在的学习成绩，在毕业之后申请另外一个专业。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you helped someone 描述一次你帮助他人的经历

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案。

这道题目相比其它口语题目来说更加常见一些，不仅仅在第二部分经常出现，也同时在口语Part1中也会有所涉及，难度系数较为适中。我们从小到大都会与人打交道，或多或少会有帮助他人的经历。小编记得小的时候，尤其是小学阶段，学校经常搞“学雷锋精神，帮助他人”的社会实践活动，比如跑去敬老院照顾孤寡老人，去聋哑学校和学校的学生们进行联谊并为他们提供一些力所能及的帮助。而在我们日常生活中，帮助邻居、帮助同学同事都是非常频繁发生的事情，大家不妨花两分钟自己思考一下，然后针对如下题目的题干和要求进行口头演练，最后参考答案进行学习。

题目

Describe a time when you helped someone

You should say:

Where you helped him or her

Why you helped

How you helped

And explain how you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A time when I helped someone was actually helping my grandpa use Wechat, which has been the most popular instant communication application in China.

一次我帮助别人的经历其实是帮我的爷爷使用微信，这是中国受欢迎的即时通讯应用。

My grandpa was living in the countryside of my hometown and barely travel far because of his physical condition. What he usually did to communicate with me and my father was giving a call to us with his iPhone 6 that my father bought him. But, he never used any of the functions on the phone except for the dialing. So, I decided to help him by teaching him to use this application at his home.

我爷爷住在我家乡的一个小山村里面，因为身体原因，他几乎不出远门旅游。他通常和我们交流的方式就是用我爸买给他的iPhone 6打电话。但是，除了手机上的拨号面板，他其它功能从来没有用过。所以，我决定在他家教他使用这款应用。

Well, the reason why I helped him was that this could be immensely convenient for my grandpa communicating with other people including my parents. You know, the Wechat has so many functions such as Wechat moment where my grandpa can know what was happening from others’ lives. Also, video chatting on Wechat was way better than dialing a phone number.

我帮助他的原因是这款软件会极大地方面我爷爷和其他人交流，包括我父母。微信上有很多功能，比如朋友圈，在这个功能里面我爷爷就能知道别人的生活中发生了什么。另外，微信上面的视屏聊天功能远比手机拨号好多了。

I helped him register an Apple ID, and downloaded the latest version of Wechat. And I told him it’s quite easy to use. He could just use one finger to touch the APP icon and everything would be presented to him. It took me less than 10 minutes to get the hang of it, which really amazed me. He’s a good learner!

我帮助他注册了一个苹果账号，然后下载了最新的微信。我还告诉他用起来很简单。他只需用以更手指头点触一下应用的图标，所有的东西就会呈现给他了。我花了不到十分钟，他就能上手了，这真的让我很吃惊。他是个很棒的学习者!

I definitely felt a great sense of achievement by helping him. You know, finally, we could be able to have more vivid chatting with my grandpa!

通过帮助我爷爷，我感受到了巨大的成就感。我们终于能够通过更加生动的方式和爷爷聊天了!

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

The experience I am going to tell you is that I helped my best friend make up his mind to participate in a competition. Although we have never gone to the same school or lived in the same community, we have known each other from a very early age. This is because our mothers are close friends and they often visit each other, which gives us plenty of opportunities to get familiar.

我要告诉你的经历是我帮助我的好朋友下决心参加一场竞赛。虽然我们没有去过同一所学校，或者住在同一个社区，我们从很小的时候就认识了。这是因为我们妈妈是亲近的朋友。她们经常互相拜访。这给了我们大量互相了解的机会。

It was about a year ago, when he was hesitating about whether to take the Mathematical Olympic Games of our province. If he took it and won, the benefits would be enormous. However, if he lost, he would waste a huge amount of time, which might affect his performance on other subjects.

那是在大约一年前。当时他正在犹豫要不要参加我们省的数学奥林匹克竞赛。如果他参加并且获胜，好处将是巨大的。然而如果他输了，他会浪费大量的时间。这可能影响他在其他科目上的表现。

I encouraged him to sign up for this competition. I said, “I believe in you. You have the potential to defeat all the others. Even if you did not make it, at least you have tried. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it in the future”. He followed my advice and registered for this competition. After two months’ preparation, he won.

我鼓励他报名参加。我说：“我相信你，你有潜力击败所有其他人。即使你没能做到，至少你也尝试过了。否则的话，你在未来一定会后悔的”。他听从了我的建议，报名参赛。经过两个月的准备，他获胜了。

I was proud of this experience. To some extent, it changed my friend’s life. The championship brought him a great advantage when he applied for the university and helped him get into his dream school, which was nearly impossible if he had not taken part.

我对这段经历很自豪。它在某种程度上改变了我朋友的生活。这个冠 军在他申请学校的时候给他带来巨大的优势，并且帮助他进入理想的大学。而如果他没有参加的话，这几乎是不可能的。

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

每个人应该都有吃药的经历，但如果在回答这道题目的时候只说自己生病、买药、吃药的话有些单薄，很有可能会说不够2分钟。因此大家要稍微加工一些。可以说说药是别人关心自己买来的，也可以说说自己一个人买药的艰辛。总之，尽可能的把回答具体化、细节化、丰富化，而不要太过单薄。

题目

Describe a time when you had some medicine

You should say:

When it happened

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

The experience I am going to tell you happened 3 months ago. My classmates and I had just finished our final exams and were ready to embrace the summer holiday. That night, we were a little bored, so we decided to have some roast and beer in a small restaurant near my school.

我要告诉你的经历发生在3个月之前。我的同学和我刚刚结束期末考试，准备迎接暑假的到来。那天晚上，我们有些无聊，于是决定去学校附近的小饭店吃点烧烤喝点啤酒。

We had a great time. But at the midnight, I was not feeling very well. Do not copy or repost it. I started to throw up and had diarrhea. I constantly went to the toilet. The food I ate soon went out, but the vomit would not stop. My face was as pale as a piece of white paper and I was so weak that I had to hold something to stand up.

当时我们过的很愉快。但到午夜的时候，我感觉到有些不舒服。我开始呕吐，拉肚子，不停的上厕所。吃的东西很快就完了，但呕吐完全没有停止。我的脸苍白的像纸一样，身体虚弱的不扶东西就站不起来。

Then my roommate noticed my situation and asked what happened. I said the food I had might not be clean and I felt like I was going to pass out. He gave me some medicine for gastroenteritis and a cup of water and accompanied me until I got better.

那时，我的室友注意到了我的情况并好奇发生了什么。我说我吃的食物可能不干净，我感觉自己快要晕过去了。他给了我一些肠胃炎的药和一杯热水，并且一直陪到我好转。

At that moment, he was like the god, who not only cured my disease but also gave me emotional support. I could not thank him enough.

当时，他就像上帝一样，不仅仅治疗了我的疾病，还给予我情感上的支持。我怎么谢他都不为过。

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when you give advice to others 描述给别人建议的一次经历

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这道题目小编在撰写答案的时候就想着可能会难倒一部分雅思考生们。因为我们从小到大更多的时候是在接受教育，很少给别人真正意义上的建议。即便是给出了像样的建议，可能在表达上也无法把事情说清楚。小编建议大家不必讲述特别宏观的经历，而是把经历细小化、生活化。比如女生可以给父母或者朋友建议穿着打扮乃至美妆之类的，男生可以在体育运动、电子竞技上面给别人一些战术上的建议，这些都可以算作advice。

题目

Describe a time that you give advice to others

You should say:

who you gave advice to

what the advice was

why you gave advice

how you felt about the advice

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A time that I gave advice to others was helping my younger sister, Wang Jie, to choose her major in college.

一次我给别人建议的经历是帮助我的妹妹Wang Jie选择大学专业。

Wang was the daughter of my mother’s colleague and was an up-and-coming third-year senior high school student. I remember that was a day right after the Spring Festival in 2014. We were visiting our relatives and friends as usual and met with each other in a social event.

Wang是我妈妈同事的女儿，她是一位非常积极向上的高三学生。我记得是在2014年的那个春节之后的一天。我们当时和往常一样在走亲访友，然后在一个聚会上见面了。

I didn’t mean to give advice to her, but it was her mother who was chatting with my mother about her daughter’s difficulties in preparing the Gaokao, which is the college entrance exam in China. Wang felt quite unsure about her future concentration in college. It was not difficult for her to get into a top 10 university in China, but the thing was that she just had no clue regarding choosing a promising major. She told me that the public administration was considered to be a top priority in her parents’ eyes as they wanted her to become a public servant. She actually had neither an interest in it nor in others, which made things even harder.

我当时本意是不想给他建议的，但是她妈妈当时和我妈妈在聊着她女儿备战中国高考的困难。Wang觉得对未来大学学习方向十分不确定。对她来说考入中国前10的大学不是什么难题，但是问题是针对选择一个有前途的专业而言她毫无头绪。她告诉我她父母的意思是想让她选读公共管理专业因为日后想让她当公务员。其实她自己对此并没有兴趣也对其它方面无感，这就让事情变得更加难了。

Well, I was actually not an authority in terms of choosing a major even though I was then a junior majoring in Human Resources. But, I did have some insightful understanding of this struggle. You know, no matter what advice you take, you are the only person that is truly responsible for the decision you make. So, I offered her an advice, which was quite simple, ‘find your interest and go for it’. Also, I gave her detailed guidance on how to detect the inner propensity for the things we truly wanted, which I think would be of great value for her. After listening to my words, she felt she was kind of enlightened.

我当时就选择专业来说确实不是什么权威，即便我当时已经是人力资源专业的大三学生。但是呢，对于纠结这个事情上而言我还是有很深的体会的。不管你接纳了什么建议，你是自己才是唯1你个为你自己负责的人。所以，我给她的建议很简单，‘找到自己的兴趣然后做下去’。另外，我给了她一些寻找内心兴趣的细节指导，我觉得这对她来说十分重要。听了我的一番话，她感觉有点明白了。

Well, I wouldn’t say my advice was very great, but it’s at least useful in the long run. You know, sometimes parents want us to be successful but would help us in the wrong way by giving us a suggestion that doesn’t suit our need. Soon or later we will have realized that the decision was once made inappropriately. So, instead of letting others choose, we’d better know what we want.

我不能说我的决定非常棒，但是起码长远来看是有用的。有些时候父母们想让我们成功但是给了一些不适合我们需求的建议来帮助我们。迟早会发现这个决定做得不是特别合适。所以，与其说让别人来做决定，还不如让我们自己知道自己想要什么。

这道题对于从小到大都生活在城市里的同学来说可能会有一些难度。不过，哪怕我们没有真的见过野生动物，也可以对以往的经历进行拼凑，从而编出一个全新的故事来。比如，我们前往山区旅游，路上遇到了野生的蛇;或者去附近的水库野餐，看到旁边的草丛里跑出一只兔子等等。

题目

Describe a time when you got close to wild animals

You should say

Where you were

What the animals were doing

Who you were with

And what your reaction was

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

I am going to tell you an experience that I saw wild foxes. It was about two years ago when my parents and I went to my grandparents’ home, a remote village located on the rim of mountains, to celebrate the Spring festival. It was an arduous trip. We took 5 hours of train, 2 hours of coach and another hour of walk before finally arriving at the destination.

我要告诉你我看到野生狐狸的经历。那大约是在两年前，我跟我父母去爷爷奶奶家过年。那是一座遥远的存在，位于大山的边缘。旅途十分漫长，我们坐了5个小时火车，2个小时大巴，又走了一个小时才最终到达目的地。

On the first day of the new year, after the feast and all the cleaning up, I was assigned the task to take out the garbage and dump it at the back of the house. It was already deep into the night. I had to hold a flashlight to illuminate the winding path since unlike the city, there were no lamps standing aside.

新年的第1天，在吃完大餐和清理完成之后，我被派去将垃圾倒在房子后面。那时已经是深夜，因为不像城市那样有路灯，我必须拿着手电筒照亮蜿蜒曲折的小路。

When I was pretty near the dumpsite, I suddenly noticed a scuffling noise. There seemed to be something or someone there. I stood still, lifted the flashlight and then there they were. Two foxes were digging into the garage and rummaging for some food. They were not even close to what I had seen in cartoons or comic books, where foxes had big, fluffy tails and wore the fiery coat. But both of them were in brown and their tails were just like that of the cats, nothing special.

当我靠近垃圾点的时候，我突然注意到一阵窸窸窣窣的声音。似乎有什么东西或者什么人在那里。我站着不动，抬起手电筒，于是发现了它们。两只狐狸在挖垃圾，寻找食物。它们跟我在卡通或者漫画书里看到的完全不像。那里面狐狸都有毛茸茸的大尾巴和火红的皮毛。但它们两只都是棕色的，尾巴也跟猫一样，没什么特别的。

I was amazed by this encounter. As a boy/girl who had been brought up in the city, I had never seen any wild animal before. It was a totally different experience from reading their descriptions on the book or watching them on the TV.

我惊讶于这场邂逅。作为一个在城市里长大的男孩/女孩，我之前从来都没有见过野生动物。这个在书上读到它们的描述和在电视上看到是完全不同的经历。

题目的重点在于初次见面。大家可以回忆一下跟自己的好朋友或者男女朋友第1次见面的情形。比如一起看电影、吃饭、打球、以及新生报道会等。如果大家的初次相遇比较平淡，很难填充这两分钟的时间，那么也可以适当添加一些电视剧里的情节。比如被球砸到头，觉得对方游戏玩的超级好或者超级差等。 当然，大家也可以说说第1次遇到老师，第1次遇到长辈等。

Describe a time when you first met someone

You should say:

Where you met him or her

When you met him or her

What you talked about

And how you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

The experience I am going to tell you is that I first met my grandfather’s friend who is a professor in the mathematical department of XXX university. He had published many papers and several books, which earned him some fame in the academic circle. We still keep contact now, and whenever I have some problems with maths, he would be the first one I turn to.

我要告诉你的经历是我第1次遇到爷爷的朋友。他是XXX大学数学系的教授,发表了许多论文和好几本书。这使他在学术圈享有一定的声誉。我们想在仍然保持着联系。只要我在数学上遇到困难，我就会第1时间去找他。

I met him at my grandpa’s house about a year ago when I paid a visit and stayed there for lunch to do some cathing up. After the meal, he appeared at the door step and invited my grandfather to play chess. When one of them was thinking about the next move, the other would lean back, took a cup of tea and enjoyed it.

大约一个月之前，我在我爷爷那里遇到的他。当时我去拜访爷爷，待在那里吃午饭，聊聊近况。午饭之后，他出现在门口，邀请我爷爷下象棋。当他们其中一个思考下一步的时候，另一个就会靠在椅子上，拿杯茶开始享受。

Learning that my mathematical performance was not very satisfactory, he seemed to be activated. He gave up the game they were playing and asked me where my confusion lay. I said the trigonometric function we were learning was too complex and I did not have a clue about its various applications. He immediately drew a piece of paper and started to explain.

知道我数学成绩不太好之后，他似乎被激活了。他放弃了正在下的那一局，问我到底哪里比较困惑。我说我们正在学的三角函数太难了， 我对它的各种应用一点概念都没有。他立刻拿出张纸，开始给我解释。

I have to say he was so much better than my mathematical teacher back in school. He was very good at relating the cold figures and equations to the colorful real world, which turned math into an interesting subject. After his interpretation, I felt I had completely mastered the relevant knowledge and even generated some interest in this subject.

我不得不说他比我学校里的数学老师要好太多。他非常擅长将冰冷的数字和公式与多彩的真实世界联系起来。这使数学成为一门有趣的学科。经过他的解释，我感觉我已经完全掌握了相关的知识点，甚至产生了一些对该学科的兴趣。

题目

Describe a time when you did not tell a friend the truth

You should say:

When it was

Where it happened

Why you did not tell the truth

And explain how you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

Well, I would like to share an experience while I was in elementary school for more than a decade ago.

我想要分享一个十多年前我上小学的时候发生的一次经历。

There was a semester during which we were supposed to buy an instrument to learn in our music class. I clearly remember that many classmates of mine brought some instruments that looked so fancy to me, for example, violin and saxophone. However, I didn’t bring anything in the first class because I wasn’t so sure what instrument I could learn. Then, a deskmate of mine named Wang Lei noticed my situation and lent me his accordion to me to have a try.

有那么一个学习，我们的音乐课上老师要求我们买一个乐器。我清晰记得我的同学们当时带了一些很炫的乐器，比如小提琴以及萨克斯。可是，我却在第1节课上没有带任何东西，因为我不是特别清楚我能学好哪种乐器。然后，我的一个叫Wang Lei的同桌了解到了我的情况就把它的手风琴借给了我试试。

I felt it was pretty easy to play, but I wasn’t so sure that I could play it well. So, I even borrowed his accordion for a week to experience. Well, you know, something awkward happened while I was practicing this little thing. A corner of the accordion was hit by the door while I was walking out of my bedroom. You know, my mind went blank while this incident happened. I didn’t know how much it would cost me to buy a new one. This made me feel so edgy. Thank God that I eventually got the same type from Taobao at a reasonable price.

我觉得这个很容易玩，但是我不确信我能否拉好它。所以，我甚至向他借了一周时间来体验。然后，在我练习整个小东西的时候，有个尴尬的事情发生了。在我从房间走出去的时候，手风琴的一个小角在门上撞着了。我当时脑子一片空白。我不知道再买一个得花多少钱。让我有点捉急。感谢老天我从淘宝上以实惠的价格买到了同样款式的手风琴。

Well, I didn’t tell Wang what really happened to his accordion. I just gave him my newly bought one and expressed my appreciation for his help. The reason why I didn’t tell the truth was that I didn’t want to make him unhappy about the incident I made. It would make him feel sorry that I just bought him a new one.

我并没有告诉WANG到底他的手风琴发生了啥。我只是把我新买的手风琴给了他，然后向他表示了感谢。我没告诉他真相的原因是我不想让他因为这个事情让他不开心。他会因为我给他买了一个新的手风琴而心里过意不去的。

I felt guilty a little bit but still thought that I handled this thing in an appropriate way. You know, at least I managed to compensate for the loss of this broken instrument. I definitely hope this won’t happen again in the future.

我觉得我有点内疚，但是依然觉得我处理这件事情的方式还是恰当的。起码我对这件坏了的乐器进行了赔偿。未来我真是喜欢类似的情况不要再发生了。

题目

Describe a time when you changed your opinion

You should say

When it was

What the original opinion was

Why you changed it

And explain how you felt about it

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A time I changed my opinion happened last spring, which was during the time when the coronavirus outbreak took place.

一次我改变观点的经历发生在上个春天，就是在新冠状病毒大爆发的时候。

Well, before that spring, my opinion on higher education was that it’s just a waste of time and money. You know, we could have entered society earlier and gained more experience of the valuable things that only can be available out of school if we chose not to spend another year or two or even more of being a student at university. And, I thought that at the end of the day society was the true university. You know, I had seen many of my relatives who didn’t receive much education but still lived good lives, not to mention about Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who were the most successful examples in the world.

在那个春天之前，我对高等教育的看法就是，这就是一种对时间和金钱的浪费。我们本应该更早地踏入社会然后获得更多在大学待上一年两年甚至更多时间却无法学到的有价值的东西。我认为，其实我们的社会才是真正的大学。我那时已经见过我很多没有接受过高等教育的亲戚们依然过着好生活，更不用提全世界最著 名的成功例子比尔盖茨以及马克扎克伯格了。

Well, I changed my opinion totally because of the pandemic. You know, when the lockdown started to roll out, everyone was like in the middle of nowhere, especially for those who were working their butt off as the only breadwinner in the family. You know, getting laid off meant the entire family would hardly make ends meet. However, those who got higher education were way better than those who didn’t as the market always prefer applicants with strong educational backgrounds. And, it was observing this unprecedented situation that I had made a sudden change in my mind.

我因为疫情大流行彻底改变了看法。当封锁开支施行的时候，每个人都不知所措的样子，尤其是那些没日没夜工作的一家之主们。如果失业了，意味着整个家庭将入不敷出。不过，那些接受过高等教育的人们就比那些没有很好教育背景的人来说就会好很多。就是看到这样的前所未有的情况，我的想法发生了突然的转变。

Well, the reason why I changed my idea was that I have experienced seeing friends and relatives struggle with the same obstacles and couldn’t make any changes at the moment. You know, I clearly remember a brother-in-law of mine said to me that how he wished he could have been a student for a longer time at college.

我改变看法的原有就是我亲眼所见自己的朋友和亲戚遇到类似的困局而暂时无法做出任何改变。我清晰地记得我的一个堂哥给我说他要是能够多在大学里多学一些时间就好了。

I definitely felt grateful that I changed my traditional idea. And, I also appreciate my parents who could support me financially and mentally to study abroad.

我对我自己转变看法感到感恩。于此同时，我也感谢我的父母能够从物质和精神方面支持我出国留学。

雅思口语Part2话题卡：Describe a time when you ate something for the first time 描述你第1次吃的食物

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这道口语话题卡难度系数适中，贴近于大家的日常生活。也许，大家头次吃某种食物的经历是很久很久以前的事情了。比如，第1次吃青菜、苹果、牛羊肉很有可能发生在大家早已忘记的童年时光，完全想不起来首 次品尝食物的感觉。但是，我们依然可以在生活中找到一些新出的食品来说一说。当然，我们也可以说一说他乡的特产，这样容易找到类似的经历。毕竟，当我们远走他乡的时候，我们已经有了很清晰的意识。例如，南方人吃北方的煎饼果子，北方人第1次吃南方的芝麻糊等小吃。当然，如今的购物便利程度更高了，大家也可以说一说自己吃过的国外的食物，例如西餐、糕点等等。大家可以花点时间自己思考一下，然后进行口头练习，最后再参考给出的范文进行学习。

题目

Describe a time when you ate something for the first time

You should say:

What you ate

When you ate it

Where you were

And how you felt about it

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

I want to share an experience of eating an exotic fruit when I was traveling in Thailand in 2015. My parents took me there for a vacation.

我想要分享一次我在2015去泰国旅游是吃的一种异域水果的经历。我父母那会儿带我过去度假。

I clearly remember it was in an orchard that I ate the most stinky tropical fruit in most Chinese people’s mind, which is durian. The place was somewhere between Bangkok and Pattaya. It took us around two bus hours to get there. After taking a walk around the yard to learn something about those fruit plants, we were led by the tour guide to a large round table where lots of unfamiliar fruits were placed.

我清晰记得是在一个果园里头我吃了那个在大多数中国人眼里觉得最臭的热带水果-榴莲。我记得果园的地方就在曼谷和芭提雅之间。大概花了我们两个小时的车程前往那个地方。我们在园子里头转了一圈，学习了一下这些水果植物的知识，然后被导游带到一个大圆桌边，桌上摆放了特别多的陌生水果。

Among all those exotic treats, the durian was definitely the most memorable one. You know, I had long heard about the complaint of its stink but hadn’t really taken a tiny bit of it. So, that’s the perfect timing to try it.

这些异域水果之中，榴莲是最让我难以忘怀的。我很早就听人抱怨过榴莲特别臭。但是，我还没有尝过。所以，这次是一个很好的机会。

To be honest, it smells indeed bad, but way better than the one I experienced while passing the street market in China. When I take the first bite, I was actually mentally prepared. So, it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Actually, the taste was rather good, which made me wonder why people always complain about its taste and smell? Or, could it be that those durians they ate were not authentic? I have no idea.

老实讲，它闻起来的确不好，但是远比我在经过中国街市时闻到的榴莲要好太多。其实，在我咬第1口的时候，我已经做好了心理准备。所以，它并没有我想象那么糟糕。实际上，味道还相当不错，这让我好奇，为啥人们会抱怨它的味道和口感呢?或者说，是因为他们吃到的榴莲不够地道?我不太明白。

Well, If I had a chance to visit there again, I think I wouldn’t bother having more!

如果我有机会再去一次那里的话，我不会介意多吃几口的!

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a time when someone apologized to you 描述一次别人向你道歉的经历

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案。

这道题目很有意思，也比较贴近于生活，并且难度系数适中，需要烤鸭们仔细回忆一下生活中有没有别人做得不好伤害到了你自己并且给你赔不是的经历。想必这种情况在我们生活中还是有不少的例子的。小编建议大家可以从两个动机角度思考：1. 别人故意伤害了你，但是发现问题的严重性，后悔莫及，为此道歉。2.别人无意中伤害到了你，为此对你道歉。希望大家可以仔细思考一下，看看是否有类似的经历。比如，无意间朋友/陌生人踢足球结果球砸中了你的脑袋，为此对你道歉。有的人想做恶作剧，结果出了大麻烦，对你说对不起等等。

题目

Describe a time when someone apologized to you

You should say:

When it was

Who this person is

Why he or she apologized to you

And explain how you felt about it

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A time when someone apologized to me happened last December.

一次别人向我道歉的经历发生在去年十二月份的时候。

You know, there’s a Chinese version of Black Friday called Double Eleven Day when many big e-commerce platforms including Taobao and Jingdong would have their big promotions online.

有一个类似中国版黑色星期五的节日叫双十一，那天许多网络电商包括淘宝和京东会有很多大的线上折扣。

My roommate Natalie noticed that there’s a super good deal on the Internet service. This came with a package that offered 500MB internet speed for 12 months with only 500 RMB. She sent me a Wechat message without hesitation telling me that she would like to invite me to share this plan. I agreed. However, she didn’t ask for my permission and used my identification number to have this plan registered, which really pissed me off. She didn’t realize how serious this issue could be until she saw some news about identity theft and immediately said “sorry” to me.

我的室友Natalie发现了网上有一个很不过的网络套餐。这个套餐里包括了12个月的500MB网络速度，仅仅500人民币。他毫不犹豫地就通过微信给我发送了消息，告诉我想邀请我一起分享这个套餐。我同意了。然而，她并没有征求我的允许就使用了我的身份证号码去注册这个套餐，这完全把握惹火我了。当她看到网络上身份盗窃的新闻之后才知道这件事情的严重性，然后立即对我道歉。

Well, the reason why she apologized to me was that she thought it was bad conduct. You know, nobody would use someone’s ID without his or her permission. That’s a violation of the law. Another reason why she sent me an apology was that she didn’t want this to destroy our friendship.

她向我道歉的原因是她觉得这是很糟糕的行为。没有人会不经别人允许就使用他人的身份证。这是违反法律的。另外一个原因就是她不想因此破坏了我们之间的友谊。

Honestly, I still felt a bit angry after her apology, but then, I let it go. I thought that everyone has his or her desire that needed to be controlled well otherwise it would hurt others, and I had confidence that she could handle it well in the future.

老实讲，她给我道歉后我还是有点小生气，但是之后，我就不去计较了。我觉得每个人都有自己需要控制自己的欲望，不然可能会伤到别人。我相信她在未来可以处理好这件事情。
