还有最后一个礼拜,我们就要迎来阳光明媚的雅思口语换题月了!不知道这帮雅思口语命题人到时候又要搞出什么幺蛾子,不过无论怎么变,我们感觉story这个话题还是有必要准备一下子的,因为这个雅思话题的素材,很容易改造一下变成其他题目的答案,比如local news,novel等等。
在雅思口语换题月之前,大家最后再使把劲儿吧!
雅思口语:Describe a story or a novel that was particularly interesting to you.
I once heard a news story about a man who is pretty lazy all the time, but he could always come up with some hilarious ideas to make easy money, just like what the fox does in the movie Zootopia. And recently he got arrested because of something “unbelievable” he did. Here’s the story.
One day he was running out of money, so it was time for another scam, you know. He spent every penny he had left on a package tour to Dubai, which is the wealthiest city in the Middle East and is packed with loaded and generous people who spend money like water. On the first day he set foot on Dubai, instead of checking in the fancy hotel the travel agency had arranged, he went straight to the corner of the street, sat down and started to beg for money. And when it was getting dark, he just wrapped himself up in the blanket he prepared. According to what he said in a later interview, the reason why he didn’t go back to the hotel is that he needs to have some professional ethics. Interesting, uh? Anyway, by the end of his trip, he had begged 470,000 RMB, which is a ridiculous amount of money that is impossible for an average person to make in a year!
I don’t remember how he got arrested, and to be honest, I didn’t realize it was a crime until someone told me that his tourist visa doesn’t qualify him to work as a beggar in Dubai. The fact that he was fined a huge amount of money in the end has burst quite a few people’s bubble who planned to copy him.
So I guess this story is interesting as well as educational.
这个是真的news呢,只不过稍微adapt了一下。所以说,平时有趣的新闻,绝对是雅思口语好素材哦!
