说到旅游,同学们的话还是滔滔不绝的,因为每个人心中都有一个想去的地方. 那么雅思口语中的以下高频考题你是否会用英文描述呢?
Describe a car journey that you had
Describe an educational trip that you had
Describe a short trip that you had and that you want to do it again
以上三个题目同时旅游话题,但是侧重点有所不同。首先journey一般指单程较远距离的海、陆、空“旅行”;trip是指短距离旅行,直达目的地的旅行。然而,在日常用语中,trip可与journey通用。Car journey强调的是开车旅行,可以描述沿途的风景,也可以描述你坐车旅行时的心情。而educational trip着重强调你在旅途中有什么收获,学习到你平时不知道的东西,可以是风土人情可以是民间故事等等。
今日口语话题
今天,咱们来看看描述“去国外旅行的”的实用素材。题目呢,是长这个样子滴:
Describe a foreign country you want to travel to.
You should say:
What country it is
When and who you will travel to
What preparation you need to do
And explain why you want to travel to the country.
