雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe an important journey that was delayed 描述被延误的重要旅行

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。

有关journey/travel/trip(旅行)相关的话题在之前的雅思口语话题中也出现过一些。不过，本次考到的题目和以往的话题会有一些不一样的点。本次话题卡的重点在于delay(延误)。因此，烤鸭们需要思考的不仅仅是旅行这件事情，更多的是这个incident(意外)的描述。小编建议大家可以先从生活中的经历中找找看，是否有这类的延误;不一定是飞机旅行的延误，也可以是巴士、轮船、开车自驾游等等。和往常练习一样，建议大家先看着如下题目多思考一下，然后口头模拟演练一遍，再参考范文进行学习和巩固练习。

题目

Describe an important journey that was delayed

You should say:

When it was

Why it was important

How it was delayed

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：

I would like to talk about a journey that was happened in early July years ago, which was the month when we had just finished high school. During that period of time, three of my close classmates decided to have a graduation trip to Phuket Island, which was in the south part of Thailand.

我想谈一谈几年前七月初的时候的一场旅行，那会儿我们刚刚高中毕业。在那个时期，我的三个要好的同学决定去泰国南部的普吉岛来一场毕业旅行。

The reason why it was important was that it’s the last gathering we could have before going to university. So, all of us really cherished the time being together in that summer.

这次旅行对我很重要，因为它是我们去读大学前最后一次聚在一起了的时间了。所以，在那个夏天，我们都很珍惜这段时光。

We actually made very detailed plans about that journey including booking the air tickets, hotel rooms, selecting the scenic spots and choosing appropriate recreational activities. It seemed that we were fully prepared and all things were within our control. However, while we were about to get to the airport, we heard that there was a riot happening in Bankok. For the sake of safety reasons, we were advised to delay the trip a month later by the travel agency that helped us with part of our journey plans.

我们其实对这场旅行做好了详细的规划，包括预定机票、酒店房间，选择旅游景区以及合适的旅游活动。似乎我们对这场旅行准备的很充分，所有事情都在我们掌控之中。然而，当我正准备出发去机场的时候，我们收到新闻说曼谷发生了动乱，处于安全原因，协助我们部分旅行方案的旅行社建议我们一个月之后再出行。

When I heard about this news, I didn’t care that much, honestly, because I felt that it has nothing to do with tourists, right? But, once I thought of the other travel companions with me, I shouldn’t turn a blind eye to this issue. I was a bit sad. However, we managed to get there in August, which was a great experience for all of us.

当我听到这个消息之后，老实说，我并不太在乎，因为这和我们游客没啥关系，对吧。但是呢，一想到我和我的其他同伴一起去旅行，我不该对这个情况视而不见。我当时有点小伤心。不过，一个月之后的八月份，我们还是去了那里，对我们来说是一个不错的体验。
