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

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。
