雅思口语Part 2话题卡：Describe a time that you were late 迟到的经历

思路点拨：以下思路谨供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

我们每个人应该都曾经迟到过，或者最起码从新闻或者朋友那里听过其他人迟到的经历。我们可能上课迟到，上班迟到，面试迟到，约会迟到，考试迟到，甚至有可能高考迟到无法入场。这些事情中，有的严重到会让人悔恨终生，有的可能只是生活中的小插曲，烦恼一会儿之后也就随风而去了。但无论他们重要程度如何，都可以做为这个题目的答案。如果各位考生实在没有思路，甚至可以参考下剑桥雅思4 test 2 section 1。那篇文章就讲了一名男子因为银行汇率系统的问题而迟到了半个小时。

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案

Describe a time that your were late

You should say:

When it was

What time you arrived

Why you were late

How you felt

我要告诉你的经历是一年前我曾经在一门重要课程的考试中迟到过。那门课程是高数，直接影响我能否拿到那一年的奖学金。考试时间被设置在早上的8点半，持续两个小时。但当我在床上睁开眼睛的时候就已经是9点了。顾不上刷牙，洗脸，我穿上衣服就往考场跑，并终于在9点15的时候到达。

The experience I am going to talk about is that I was late for the final exam of mathematics, an important course in my senior year, whose result would decide whether I got the scholarship. The exam began at 8.30 in the morning and would last for 2 hours. But when I opened my eyes in the bed, it was already 9 o’clock. With no time to wash my face and brush my teeth, I put on my clothes, rushed to the examination room and arrived at a quarter past nine.

我只剩下75分钟来完成这场考试。这基本上是不可能完成的任务，我仿佛看到奖学金离我而去的样子。考试过程中，我不停的责怪自己，为什么昨天晚上熬夜到那么晚?为什么明明知道自己有可能会睡过，却不多定几个闹钟?我在考场上快要哭了出来。

So I only got 75 minutes left to finish the test, which was almost an impossible task. I could see the scholarship had walked away. During the test, I could not stop blaming myself. Why did I stay up so late the night before and why did not I set several alarms in case I missed one? I almost cried out.

幸运的是，老师同情我的经历，在考试结束之后又给了我半个小时的时间，让我能够答完试卷。我心里十分感激，并发誓以后再也不会犯这样的错误了。

Fortunately, my teacher sympathized with my feelings and gave me another half an hour to complete the test. I was so grateful to him and promised I would never make a mistake like this again.
