雅思口语下午茶又来啦

今日份的茶要聊些什么呢

这次二朵为大家请到的是一位新朋友Johnny，本期雅思口语机经话题如下：

Describe a skill that you need long time to learn.

You should say:

What it was

When you learnt it

Why it took you so much time to learn

And how you felt about it.

你想学点啥？

你想拥有什么技能？

本期Dorra & Johnny 为大家带来的就是雅思口语高频话题“需要花费长时间学习的技能”

点击下方音频，一起来听一下Dorra & Johnny带给你的口语思路吧~

思路一

学习做饭

二朵这个外卖党，每天都在点点点点外卖，所以最想学习的又花费她长时间的技能是cooking啦！

我们每天说的最多的一句话是：吃啥？

关于这个表达，大家不要说 What do you want to eat?

听起来一点都不地道，换个地道的表达吧，下次再问吃什么，可以回答

What are you in the mood for?

I’m in the mood for XXXX

· 思路展开：

关于为何会花费这么长时间，可以从三个角度回答：

1. 完全新手，除了烧开水啥啥都不会；

2. 做饭煎炸炒烩蒸炖煮烤每样都有自己的门道，太过繁琐；

3. 吃饭又比较挑剔，自己做饭掌握不了火候，常常把肉烧的太硬或者蔬菜炒的太过，也掌握不了调料的用量

· 重点表达点拨：

新手 green hand

擅长做某事 that’s my thing

挑剔 picky

火候 heat control

肉太老 chewy/ tough

调料 seasoning

蔬菜清脆 crunchy

煎 pan-fry

炒 stir-fry

炸 deep-fry

烩 stew

熏 smoke

煨 simmer

煮 boil

烤 roast

关于学做饭的感受And how you felt about it？可以从以下两个点回答：

1.健康 not rich in oil and fat

2.做饭本身就是一种很好的放松方式 relaxion

思路二

学习开车

Johnny 想到的技能是开车，这也是一项很好展开回答的必备技能思路。

· 重点词汇点拨：

费时间 time-consuming

老司机 old hand ／veteran

踩油门 step on gas

松油门 ease one’s foot off the gas

PS：虽然二朵有驾照，但是是不折不扣的女司机，本小编严重建议她回炉重造一下。

这个思路Johnny 为大家提供了示范回答哦，大家可以认真听一下，如果想进行进一步的模仿和学习，下文提供的示范文本可以好好利用哦~

Johnny老师示范音频文本

When it comes to a time-consuming skill for me, I will definitely answer the driving skill. I live in a town where people mostly rely on public bus to go to work and I used to wait for the same one every day on time . I think that’s why my level of driving skills isn’t as well as my bus-chasing skill. I have started to learn this skill since the age of freshman in university. Although it has already passed almost 9 years, but until to now, I still can't master this technique as old hands. As I can recall, it was such an arduous journey that I have never been experienced before. To start off, My coach had me driving laps around the block, I live in a very quiet area, so I would come across one to two cars during a half hour drive. This went pretty well, and he slowly eased me into things like pulling out of the driveway, which was initially something he would do for me, so I wouldn't be too overwhelmed. There isn't much to do other than turn right. Eventually we got bored, and decided to move to a new road where there's more for me to learn. Next, we went down a busier road, through the town, and at some points did up to 60km/h. There was significantly more going on than in the previous trips, but I did surprisingly well . However, there are several main things I feel I have trouble with at the moment. Such as I have a bit of trouble keeping my speed consistent. I don't fully understand how hard I need to press the pedal to keep 0 acceleration, but that's something I'm improving. Overall though, against all odds, progress is going surprisingly well, considering I’ve only gone out driving a handful of times. It was an experience once in a lifetime and my all life could benefit from this eternally.
