关于旅行题材,是万年好用的雅思口语素材。
雅思机经题目里会直截了当的让大家讲旅行,而且事件类话题里,好多好多都可以套用,就不一一墨迹啦。关于旅行,一般都让大家分享快乐的经历,不过目前的趋势,命题官也开始加入“消极”色彩的话题了(其实很早就有了,比如聊聊不喜欢的电影,不喜欢的人却还得对之友善啥的),像目前的机经里就有“生气的经历”“道歉”“天气改变计划”等等。
我们来看看怎么把“不喜欢的旅行”跟其他的雅思口语题目套起来:
Well, this topic reminds me of a horrible travel experience I had last year.
During summer vacation, my parents planed a “wonderful trip” to Huang Shan, which is a mountain near my hometown.
The night before we climbed the mountain, we stayed in a small village at the foot of the mountain. It was literally the worst place I’ve ever been to. I mean, the so-called hotel was just a shabby cottage. It was a complete torture for me to stay there, even thought I only had to spend one night.
Here’s what happened. There were stains on the sheets that were supposed to be white and spotless. And there was no air conditioning, the temperature was about 35 degrees outside, it almost killed me. The worst part was, we couldn’t open the windows at night, ‘cause there were too many mosquitos the size of a fist flying around. I didn’t sleep a wink that night.
The only good thing of that trip was the next morning, I got to see the sunrise, but I felt sleepy and itchy all over ‘cause I had so many mosquito bites.
I guess I’ll never go hiking or climb a mountain ever again, ‘cause a trip like this is totally a nightmare for me.
大家应该注意到了,末尾提到了sunrise,所以顺带着把“早起”的那个话题一起搞定呗!而且可以根据你的心情,写成不同的结局,看到了日出可以这样说:
My mom told me that the sunrise on the top of the mountain was splendid. To be honest, I’m not really into climbing mountains, but the sunrise just sound great and I was intrigued, so I decided to give it a try.
中间再说说住的多糟糕,以至于一晚上都没咋睡。
It was a torture to sleep in a place like that. We thought we might as well start early to see the sunrise. So, when it was about 3 a.m., we decided to hit the road, ‘cause, you know, we couldn’t get to sleep anyway.
It was about 4 a.m. when we reached our destination. And just a while later, the sun jumped out of the horizon.
My mom was right. It was truly majestic. But I was just too sleepy to enjoy that.
如果没看到日出,改一改就可以变成“天气改变计划”,我们让天气变一变,让这趟旅行唯一的亮点都没有了,就更是不折不扣的“糟糕的旅行了”!所以在后半段,我们可以这样说:
When we stepped out of the door, I felt some drops of water, I thought it was just morning dew from the tree, ‘cause the weather forecast didn’t say it was gonna rain that day.
But when we were half way to the top, it started to rain heavily. None of us took an umbrella, so we were all soaked.
So you see, our plan was ruined by this unexpected change of weather.
It kept raining for a day, we just had to stay indoors in that horrible “hotel”, with no air conditioning, no Internet connection, no hot water. So you can imagine how miserable we were.
不过话说回来,希望这种经历只有在雅思口试里才会碰到,祝大家的旅行都棒棒的!
