　　話(huà)題卡——“一個(gè)善于做飯的人”是2008年的一道新口語(yǔ)話(huà)題。核心依舊是描述人物，只不過(guò)加上了一些限定條件——善于做飯�？忌�在描述這個(gè)話(huà)題卡的時(shí)候可以借鑒課上講到過(guò)的如何描述人物的部分，在此不贅述。難點(diǎn)是：我們是否能靈活地描述相關(guān)食物的種類(lèi)以及是否有足夠的口語(yǔ)資源對(duì)美味佳肴進(jìn)行一番贊賞。我準(zhǔn)備了一個(gè)樣板答案，標(biāo)注的紅色部分為重點(diǎn)詞匯，在文后注解。

If it was Mexican food, she added chili powder and a tiny bit of cayenne. Things changed after she completed the courses in Beijing New Oriental School. It was a nice school offers 3 days free trial and, there, my mom had a chance to step into the demo kitchen and to get to participate as much as she liked.
