雅思口语当季话题卡:Describe a city you have been to 描述你曾经去过的一个城市
思路点拨:以下思路仅供参考,希望大家根据自己的实际经历撰写答案
该题目有两个信息点,city和have been to。前者限定话题范围,即你要说的东西在城市之中。这样一来,山、水、自然风光就不用太多考虑了。城市里可以说的有很多,比如从来就没有见过那么高的楼,或者公交系统发达,或者人很友善;当然我们也可以说不好的方面,比如太过拥挤,比如堵车,比如跟自己事先的想象相差很远,比如被出租车司机绕路等。但在说的过程中一定要体现出细节来,不能泛泛而谈。第二个信息点have been to,要求这个城市必须是你去过的。可能有些同学的思路会局限到旅游城市上。其实完全不必如此,出差去过的城市,偶尔路过的城市,自己上学的城市,自己家乡的城市等等都可以。但这些都必须是你去过的,不能是想去的。这点不要搞错。
下面是老烤鸭小编根据具体的题目要求,给出的参考答案:
You should say:
What the city was 是哪个城市
When did you go 你什么时候去的
Who did you go with 你和谁去的
And explain why you like it or not 解释你喜欢或者不喜欢它的原因
我要说的城市是青岛,位于北京的东南方。乘坐高铁的话大概需要5个小时。上次去那是三年前,跟我大学同学兼最好的朋友去的。他是青岛人,邀请我去那里过暑假。
The city I am going to tell you is Tsingdao. It is to the Southeast of Beijing and it takes around 5 hours to get there if you take the high-speed train. My last visit was 3 years ago when my classmate, Xiaojie, who is also my best friend and lives there, invited me to spend my summer vacation there.
青岛位于山东半岛上,东边是海,西边是山。两者赋予它温和的气候,优美的风景和好吃的海鲜。它还是世界上主要的啤酒产地之一,并在每年8月份的第二个周末举办啤酒节。可惜我过去的时候啤酒节已经结束了。
Tsingdao is situated in Shandong peninsula, with seas to the east and mountains to the west. These provide it with mild climate, wonderful natural scenery, and yummy seafood. It is also one of the primary sources of beer around the world and holds beer festival at the second weekend of each August. Unfortunately when I arrived, it was already over.
但是,我喜欢上青岛,并不是因为以上这些在其他城市中也有的因素,而是因为当地友善的居民。当你在公交站牌前一脸困惑的研究该怎么到达自己的目的地的时候,总会有当地人热心的告诉你乘车方案。有一次,我下车之后失去了方向感。虽然知道我要去的地方就在附近,但却怎么也找不动。万般无奈下,我询问一位正在街上散步的老大爷。他没有像我预想的那样告诉我怎么走,而是直接说跟我来。然后步行15分钟把我带到了目的地。我超级感动。因为现在很少有人会为陌生人这样子做了。
However, I fall in love with Tsingdao is not because of the above factors, which can be found in other cities as well, but because of its extremely friendly people. When you are wandering at a bus stop, studying the notice board and looking puzzled, there are always some enthusiastic persons who will come forward, ask where you are going, and tell you the route. This article is from Laokaoya website. I remembered once after I got off the bus, I was disoriented. I knew my destination was quite near, but I couldn’t find it. Then I approached to an old man who was strolling on the street and asked whether he knew it. Instead of telling me how to get there, he said follow me and walked me to my destination. I was so moved. Very few people would do that to a stranger nowadays.
因此,虽然我后来也去过很多其他城市,但青岛一直都是我最喜欢的那个。
Therefore, although I have been to many other cities, Tsingdao is always my favorite.
