雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe your grandparent’s job 祖辈工作/爷爷奶奶的工作

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

雅思口语part 1部分最常见的问题就是问你是个学生还是已经工作。如果回答工作的话，接下来就会问你是做什么的。这次part 2也出了类似的问题，不过问的是爷爷奶奶的工作。答案的内容可以有很多，比如医生、工程师、公务员、科研人员等，甚至农民也是工作的一种。如果大家想要说的工作不太好描述，可以将重点放在工作环境或者工作的辛苦程度上。

参考答案

My grandfather is a chef, working at the most historical hotel in our city. It used to be quite prestigious. Whenever there was a celebrity or a high-rank government official came to my city, this hotel would be his first choice. With time passing by, the hotel’s status has declined, but it is still among the top players.

我的祖父是名主厨，在城市里历史最悠久的酒店里工作。它曾经享有盛名。无论什么时候有名人或者高层政府官员过来，这个酒店都是他们的首 选。随着时间的流逝，酒店的地位有所下降。但它仍然是最好的酒店之一。

My grandfather has been a cook for more than 40 years. At first, he was only allowed to stand aside, pass on the kitchen wares, and wash them after a day’s work. Gradually he gained the right to prepare ingredients, like chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and peeling potatoes. After 5 years, he could finally cook food by himself. And now, he is the king of the kitchen. Everybody has to follow his command and make dishes under his instructions.

我祖父已经做了40多年的厨师。一开始，他只能站在旁边，递各种厨具，并在一天工作结束之后清洗东西。慢慢的，他可以负责准备原料，比如切蔬菜、切肉、给土豆剥皮等。5年之后，他终于能够自己掌勺。现在，他是厨房里的王。每个人都要听从他的指令，并在他的指导下做菜。

My grandfather chose this job quite accidentally. When he was a child, everything was scarce, especially food. He was always hungry. So he wanted to do some job that could fill his stomach. And he found that even in the most difficult years, cooks could still feed their family. So he went to the hotel and became a kitchen assistant.

我爷爷选择这份工作十分凑巧。当他还是一个孩子的时候，什么东西都很缺乏，尤其是食物。他永远都很饿。所以想要做一项能够填饱肚子的工作。他发现，即使在最困难的年份里，厨师仍然能够养育自己的家人。所以他去了酒店，成为一名帮厨。

Although I love cooking for my parents and girlfriend, being a cook has never been on my list. It is quite physically demanding. You have to stand in front of a cooker for hours and kept swinging the scoop. I do not think I am fit enough to manage that.

虽然我喜欢给父母和女朋友做饭，但成为一名厨师从来都不在我的选择里。它对体力要求很高。你必须连续好几小时站在炉灶前，一直挥舞着勺子。我不认为我的身体足够强壮可以做到。
