雅思口语下午茶又来啦

今日份的茶要聊些什么

今天的二朵口语下午茶时间，跟大家讨论的就是雅思机经口语part 2高频话题，收到钱作为礼物的经历：

Describe an experience that someone gave you money as gift.

You should say

When it happened

Who it is

How you spend the money

And explain how you feel about it

钱钱钱

礼物礼物礼物

这几个字眼已经足够让人喜爱了

那如果是收到钱作为礼物呢？

岂不心里开心的放起了小烟花

点击下方音频，一起来听一下Dorra & Ray带给你的口语思路吧~

思路一

各种份子钱和红包

这个话题能够侃侃而谈的点太多了，尤其是特别喜欢份子钱的中国人啦，比如满月红包，考上大学家里亲戚给的红包，乔迁红包，结婚红包等等。

我也喜欢（收）份子钱！

除了这些传统的，还有一些新型的红包，比如外卖平台打车软件的红包，微信红包等。

重点表达点拨

结婚 tie the knot

红包 gift money／lucky money/ red envelope with lucky money inside

（外卖／购物／打车）红包： coupons/ subsidy

微信红包 online red envelope or wechat lucky money

思路二

过年收到的压岁钱

During the Spring Festival, people say "Happy New Year! " to each other and kids get lots of gift money from their parents and grandparents.

关于压岁钱的表达，大家也可以同样实用之前红包的表达方式哦

思路三

个人的独特经历

Ray 没有跟大家聊传统的收红包，而是讲了8岁过生日时，妈妈在外出差给了他600大洋过生日的经历，类似于这样个人的收到钱作为礼物的经历大家也可以在考试的时候准备好，畅所欲言哦。

Ray老师示范音频文本

In today’s world, money-receiving mostly only happened in transitional trade between two parties, because the giver might be considered as unthoughtful or careless if he or she gives money to other people as a gift. Regardless of how much money can one make, people still want to receive a gift to feel being loved and cared. However, according to my memory, when I was having my eighth birthday, my mother gave me 600 RMB instead of buying me an actual present to celebrate my birthday. I remember she had to take a business leave in June although she kept apologizing for having to leave at a such short notice, she kind of didn’t have a choice. And because the fact that I did not want her to leave, so I pouted in front of her face ,which was my normal trick with her when I want to get spoiled or want to get something from her. So in the end , she gave me 600 RMB as a conversation. It was the first time in my life that I have had such a great amount of cash in my hand, which is totally beyond my imagination. What was happening on that day was that I splurged a little by buying myself a nice meal from pizza hut and invited the kid who lived next door to me to have a great dinner together. Later on, I went to the shopping mall nearby my house and acted like a sophisticated adult. In the end I found myself a nice pair of Nike sneakers as my own birthday present before I went home happily. What was surprising though was my mom was shocked that I used up all my money just in one day and did not save any for future for references. However, she could not blame me for that because she couldn’t take back and it was already being given. So long story short, I had such a great birthday to myself and even till today, I still could not help myself laughing when I thought about it.
