Clothes話題一直是雅思考官特別中意的,在第一部分真的是經(jīng)久不衰。去年開(kāi)始在雅思口語(yǔ)Part 2也出現(xiàn)了它的身影,逼我們來(lái)介紹一位“穿的好的朋友”。今年題庫(kù)里又冒出來(lái)一道“Describe a piece of clothes that is given by someone”,很多孩子瞬間崩潰,這個(gè)年代送禮直接發(fā)紅包了好不好!誰(shuí)沒(méi)事兒會(huì)送朋友衣服嘞?
新通教育溫馨提示,我們備考雅思的時(shí)候盡量把思路放寬一些,比如小時(shí)候,媽咪或者grandma肯定給你織過(guò)毛衣嘍(knit you a sweater)!實(shí)在不行再小一點(diǎn)兒,媽咪為了哄你開(kāi)心,肯定給你買過(guò)superman或者各種迪士尼princess的costume嘛是不是!長(zhǎng)大一些后,管你是不是單身狗,你就跟考官說(shuō)男/女朋友給你買了情侶裝(matching outfits)行不行!所以放眼望去,人生的各個(gè)階段都是有機(jī)會(huì)收到別人送的衣服滴!
當(dāng)然,如果你再把這件衣服賦予某種含義或者情感色彩,一篇雅思口語(yǔ)答案就誕生了:
Well, the piece of clothes I’d like to talk about is a gift from my boyfriend. It’s a black training tank top, with a big Nike logo in the front, and it came with a pair of matching running tights. You might wonder what kind of boyfriend would send those things to his girlfriend as a gift, but it was actually quite a sweet story.
The thing is, my boyfriend and I are not living in the same city currently, so we don’t have much time to see each other. And I wasn’t always like this. I used to be a lot heavier. And every time I saw him, I would just go on and on about how I wanted to lose weight and fit into the clothes I want to wear. But the truth is, I never actually acted on it, I mean, I always found excuses not to go to the gym, like “My schedules are so tight.” or “I don’t have anything fit to wear to the gym” or “It’s too boring working out at the gym all by myself.” and things like that. So I guess my boyfriend just couldn’t take it anymore, so he bought me that outfit, which is like a constant reminder. He said black is really my color, plus, I would look much thinner in black.
And he told me he bought the exact same outfit for himself as well, so every time I wear that top, it feels like he’s there with me. So I guess this gift is much more original than flowers and jewelry. And it really worked wonders for me! I lost 15 pounds in half a year.
