口语讲堂第8期：A Family Event

今天的题目中我们又看到了childhood

所以时态上要注意啦

Describe a happy family event from your childhood that you remember well

You should say:

What the event was

When and where it happened

What you saw or did

and explain why you remember this event so well

具体事件的选择上很多同学会倾向于过生日

其实描述一个印象深刻的节日也是不错的选择

（还能套用一些A Festival In Your Country的表达）

老师的讲解不仅思路清晰

声音也是相当好听呢：

7:32 A Happy Family Event 来自IELTS在线

叙述误区：

1.选题：除了生日，还可以选择节日，旅游，郊游，家庭聚餐等

2.时态：child出现，通常使用过去时

3.比例：起因经过结果，经过要少说一些，通常以结果或起因为发散点中间的经过略讲（34句）但要配合相应的时间递进连接词句

4.解释：解释为什么记忆犹新，很多考生会讲当时的实际细节（活动，实物，人），但事件之后的启发和影响更值得一提

语言点提示：

1.happy, enjoyable, thrilled, delighted, cheerful chuffed

2.childhood, earlier years, younger, back to my childhood

范文：

As a girl brought up in the city, life in the countryside seems pretty far away from me, however, an experience of celebrating a Chinese New Year in countryside has totally changed my mind. And it’s also one of the happiest and most memorable family events in my childhood.

I remember it’s like when I was in 7 th grade. During the winter holiday, my parents decided to let me experience the real, authentic Chinese New Year, so we went to a small village where my great-grandpa lived, and there we celebrated the most significant festival of the year.

It was a whole new, different place! Blue sky, green mountains, crystal-clear waters, they worked together, just like an oil painting. Besides that, the real new-year’s atmosphere was the most impressive part. You know, at that time, in consideration of factors like noise, pollution and security, setting off fireworks and firecrackers is completely banned in our city, but here in village, I could enjoy the fun of setting of fireworks with my cousins & parents without any worries, which was definitely a lot of fun.

Also, it’s the first time for me to celebrate the new year with such a big family. Coz’ in the past, most of the time I just spent the day with my parents. but at that New Year’s Eve, more than 10 members reunited together and sat together to enjoy the most important and gourmet meal of the year, eating, talking, cheering. When it came to the moment for new-year’s countdown, every one stood up and toasted together. The whole house was full of laughter, which was pretty unforgettable to me and left me a deep impression.

Now, when I look back, I still believe that it’s the best new year ever. Not only for those fun things we experienced, it’s also because we did feel the happiness of family reunion.
