本期的话题是考“一次从网络上搜寻信息的经历”,确实网络很发达,这个是几乎每天必须要做的事情,那么同学们在考场上碰到这个话题我们该怎么回答呢?来看看Dorra 和 Johnny 的思路吧~
Describe a time that you looked for information from the Internet
You should say:

思路一
在线订机票,查航班信息
如果你经常坐飞机出行,那么在线订机票或者查询航班动态就很有必要,选择直飞或者中转,预定什么舱型,靠窗还是靠过道;以及在APP里面查询动态,是否有延误等状况出现等。有关航班的词汇很多,下面总结的词汇和表达可以在回答的时候用到哦。

Well, as far as I can remember, the last time I looked for information online was when I prepared for my further studying journey in the UK. I went to the UK to gain my master degree two years ago, so I had to plan everything prior to my upcoming trip so I would not be disoriented when I made my choice and landed the country.
The information I looked for was my postgraduate program choices, tuition fee and safety information. All of that information was of vital importance to prepare for a promising studying experience.
I used Google when searching high and low for all those info, because the results are more reliable and various than other search engines. Also, I found a plethora of information on Topuniversities, a major university-searching website that provides tips and suggestions for international prospective students. Also after I visited my carefully picked universities official websites and checked their tuition fee and provided programs listed online though the direct link posted on the Topuniversities website from every university’s introductive homepage.
As for how I felt about it, it was really convenient for me to find what I need without leaving my house. I could know a lot of things about prestigious worldwide schools while crystalizing ideas in my mind. I was immensely grateful that I could get access to the Internet, which made me feel really confident and well-prepared for my further studies.
