在2016年1月份雅思口语换题的季节里，雅思小伙伴们遇到了一个面熟又让人头疼的新题目：Describe a time when you watched the sky (描述一次你仰望天空的经历)。这道题目面熟是因为在之前的月份中，‘仰望天空’作为Part 1的考题出现过。今年1月份换题后，Part 1中的‘仰望天空’题依然保留下来，但Part 2中也见到了它可怕的身影。要描述1分半钟仰望天空的经历，想想都脖子疼。
　　其实，关于仰望天空，在一部叫《环太平洋》的电影中就有描述。电影一开场，主人公说：When I was a kid. Whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there.这道题目在前面三个线索中，完全可以多加入一些背景的描述，很像是一道旅行题目，将旅行中的小过程(和谁，在哪儿，做了什么)描述的稍具体一些，最后再抬头看了一下天空，心生感慨罢了。下面给大家提供一篇小文，可以参考一下：
　　Describe a time when you watched the sky (New)
　　You should say
　　When this happened
　　Who you were with
　　What you saw
　　And explain how you felt when you were watching the sky
　　As for a time when I watched the sky, I would like to talk about a time when I went to one of the most famous mountains in China, Mountain Tai. Last spring festival, my parents decided to climb the mountain Tai, so we drove to the city of Taian and spent a whole day there. On the road, we were talking about what historical sites and attractions we would see on the mountain.
　　When we arrived at the mountaintop, it was totally dark. My father advised that we could take a short rest. You know, when I lied on one big stone and looked up the sky, I was amazed by the beautiful shining stars. Some of them were so bright on a background of black ‘velvet’. At that moment, I felt that the universe was so immense and we human beings were so tiny. I also recalled when I was a little boy, my grandpa told me some Chinese Fairy Tales like ‘Chang E flying to the moon’ and ‘Houyi shooting down nine suns’. At that time I always sat on my grandpa’s legs and counted the stars, wondering if there was life out there.
　　Well, that ‘Watching Sky’ experience somewhat brought me back to my childhood. It was so impressive and unforgettable.
