很多孩子的脑洞开掉之后，就再也合不上了。尤其在学了雅思口语之后，什么事儿都能联系到一起。比如“好消息”可以是“有一次跟朋友吃饭”，趁机向心爱的女孩儿表白，然后女孩儿say yes了!“好消息”还可以是“有机会去梦寐以求的地方玩耍了”，总之，烤鸭总是感觉一个答案只用在一个话题里，太可惜了，于是就各种合并。我们来看一下下面的思路，就是把“课外活动”跟“好消息”搞到了一起：

　　好消息：
　　I'd like to talk about the good news I received when I was in high school, which is that I got into my school's football team.
　　I went crazy the moment I got this piece of news.
　　Football has always been my greatest passion. When I was little, my dream was to be a football player. My grandpa and my dad usually took me to live football matches. It's fair to say that I fell in love with this sport from an early age.
　　When I attended high school, in order to join the football team, I trained really hard after school. My idol is David, and his spirit always inspires me.
　　But sadly, I didn't get in the first year.
　　However, I was not a quitter. I tried harder the second year, but I still failed.
　　To be honest, I was a little frustrated, maybe my competitors were too strong, but there was also a possibility that my skills were not that good.
　　I thought I might never have the chance to be in that team, but just at that moment, I got a call from the coach, he said that I could train with the team for several months, and we'll see what happens after that.
　　I was thrilled when I heard this. That means I could finally have the opportunity to receive professional training and guidance.
　　And I guess the rest is history, I successfully became a member of the team. So that's the good news I'd like to talk to you about.

　　课外活动：
　　I'd like to talk about the extracurricular activity I did when I was in high school, which is playing football.
　　Football has always been my greatest passion. When I attended high school, in order to join the football team, I trained really hard every day after school. My idol is David, and his spirit always inspires me.
　　But sadly, I didn't get in the first year. I was really frustrated, ‘cause I put lots of effort into it. Several days later, surprisingly, I got a call from the coach, he said that I could train with the team for several months, and we'll see what happens after that. I was thrilled when I heard this. That means I could finally have the opportunity to receive professional guidance.
　　During the time I spent on the team, I made quite a few friends, and we played football together during breaks every day. And at weekends, we would meet up at the football field, chilling out and enjoying ourselves.
　　After a few months, our skills improved dramatically, and my dream finally came true. I officially became a member of the team.
　　Now I think about that experience, I was still really proud that I could take part in some matches on behalf of my school.
　　有心的孩子们，可能还会想到要把上面的素材挪用到“something you do to keep fit”，是的，play football是项运动啊，肯定强身健体啊!于是大家改编起来把!
