雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe an occasion when you wasted your time 浪费时间的场合
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
所谓浪费时间大体有两种情况。一种是本来可以节省的时间，却用了出去。比如做飞机2个小时就能到达的路程，却因为一时错误选择了做火车，导致在路上耗费了十几个小时。另一种是耗费了大量的精力，却没有结果，比如排队买票等了好几个小时，到自己的时候却发现票已经卖完了。大家任选一种进行扩展就好。

The experience I am going to tell you happened during the last summer holiday. I had stayed at home for almost a month and was already fed up with various video games and TV programs. All of my friends seemed busy with their own stuff, so I was bored to death. One day, my best friend called me and asked if I wanted to have a one-day tour with him to Xi’an, a historical city, which used to be the capital of 13 dynasties. I said yes immediately.
我要告诉你的经历发生在上个暑假。我在家里待了快一个月，已经厌倦了各种各样的游戏和电视节目。我所有的朋友似乎都有自己的事情要忙，所以我快无聊死了。一天，我最好的朋友打电话过来问我想不想跟他一起去十三朝古都西安玩一天。我立刻就答应了。
I looked up the timetable of the coach on the internet and it seemed that there was only one departure a day at 7 am, this article is from laokaoya website, which means I had to get up at around 6 o’clock to catch it. For somebody like the elderly, it might be easy. But as a person who had always slept late in the last month, it was far too early.
我在网上查了一下大巴的时间表。似乎一天只有7点出发的这一班车，这意味着我必须在6点左右起来才能赶上它。对于其他人，比如老年人来说，这可能很容易。但作为一个在过去一个月里总是睡懒觉的人，它太早了。
Anyway, I managed to get to the coach stop just on time. But when I arrived, there were only my friend and me, nobody else. The day was just dawning and I could only see a cleaner sweeping on the street. We waited for about half an hour before another body showed up. He said the departure time of the coach had been changed to 8.00 recently because too many people complained about its irrationality. They must have not updated the information online in time.
不管怎样，我准时抵达了大巴站。但当我到的时候，只有我和我朋友在那里。没有其他人。天刚刚开始亮。我在街上只能看到一名清洁工在打扫卫生。我们等了大约半个小时，才有其他人出现。他说大巴出发的时间最近被改到了8点，因为有太多人投诉时间不合理。他们一定是没有及时更新网上的信息。
I was a little angry. I set five alarms on my cellphone the night before so that I would not oversleep and miss the coach. But now you were telling me the time had been postponed. Why could not they change their online timetable simultaneously to avoid such inconvenience? Now, I had wasted a whole hour waiting at the bus stop, which could have been used to have a sound sleep.
我有点生气。我前天网上在手机上设置了5个闹钟，以防止我睡过头，错过大巴。但现在你告诉我时间被推迟了。他们为什么不同时更新网上的时间表，以避免这样的不便呢。现在，我在车站浪费了一个小时，而这本来可以用于睡个好觉的。
