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

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。
