雅思口语当季话题卡:Describe an important letter you received 收到的重要信件
思路点拨:以下思路仅供参考,希望大家能够根据自己的真是情况撰写答案
该题目只有一个信息点:important letter重要的信件。现在大家应该都很少使用真正的纸质书信,如果把思路限定在这方面的话可能会觉得该题目难度有点大。但稍微转变一下思路,虽然我们不手写书信了,但电子邮件却变得越来越常见了。我们可以把电子邮件的内容说成信件。这样就容易很多。具体的思路拓展大体有两个方向。第一,信件本身很重要。比如这是自己导师给自己论文的修改意见,或者学校发送的活动时间地点,或者银行发送的某种通知。当然,对于各位考雅思准备出国的考生来说,最为重要的信件应该就是心仪学校给的offer了。第二,信件的书写者很重要。她/他可能是自己暗恋已久的某个人,或者是自己好多年不联系的某位朋友。具体的思路扩展大家还可以参考下从他人那里得到的好消息和电子邮件这两篇文章。
下面是老烤鸭小编根据题目的具体要求,给出的参考答案:
Describe an important letter you received 收到的重要信件
You should say:
When you received it 你什么时候收到的
Who sent it 谁寄的这封信
What it was about 它的内容是什么
And explain why it was important 为什么它很重要
我要告诉你的重要的信件是来自UCL大学的offer。去年这个时候,我开始申请许多英国大学,希望我可以到那里去完成我的研究生学位。我按要求提交完毕各种材料,开始了令人紧张的等待过程。7个月过去了,各个学校的申请窗口逐渐关闭。周边同样申请的同学也大多数都拿到了学校的offer。但是我申请的3所学校里,有一所已经明确表示拒绝,另一所将我放在waiting list 上,而我最想去的UCL还没有任何回音。我开始觉得可能我没有机会到英国读书了
The important letter I am going to tell you is an offer from University College of London. About the same time last year, I embarked on the application for universities in the United Kingdom, hoping that I could complete my mater degree there. I submitted all the required materials and began the anxious waiting. Seven months had passed. The application windows of many universities gradually closed and a lot of students around me had received their offers. However, among the three colleges I had applied for, one had declined me, one had put me on the hopeless waiting list, and the last on UCL, where I wanted to go most, still had no news. I began to wonder that maybe I could never go to study in UK.
一天下午,我和我的室友去打羽毛球。中场休息期间,我开始向他抱怨自己的经历。这时,我同学过来,告诉我有一封我的信。它来自UCL招生办公室。我的心脏开始剧烈跳动,我禁不住的想,这不会又是一封拒绝信吧。我深吸一口气,尝试让自己平静下来。打开之后,它的开头写着亲爱的XXX,祝贺你。我如此兴奋,开始在羽毛球场欢呼起来。这吸引了很多人的注意。
One day afternoon, I went to play badminton with my roommates. During the break, I complained to him about my application experience. Right at that moment, my friend came over and said there was a letter for me. It turned out to be from the UCL student admission office. This article is from Laokaoya website. Do not copy or repost it. My heart immediately began to bump frantically. I could literally feel it at my throat. I could not help to wondering if it was another rejection. I took a deep breath and opened it. Right at the top, it stated that ‘Dear XXX, congratulations’. I was so excited that I started to whoop in the badminton court even before I finished reading it.
这封信改变了我的命运,我本来已经打算找工作了。但我终于可以实现自己的梦想。
This letter changed my life. I had been planning to work after graduation. But now, I will go the United Kingdom and realize my dream.
