A practical skill that I have mastered recently is driving, which is quite important I guess when I go abroad to further my studies.

一个我最近掌握的技能是驾驶，我猜这个技能在我出国读书的时候是非常重要的。

It’s a C1 driving license that enables me to drive on the road as a qualified driver. I learned this skill at the driving school affiliated to my university in Beijing last summer. I clearly remember it was a sultry July. We were supposed to sit for a series of exams, including the knowledge test and two road tests. This article is from Laokaoya website. The training was intensive and the coach was somewhat impatient and strict to us. I had to follow his instruction attentively and practiced it at least two hours under the sun every day. What’s made me feel difficult was that I had to stand by and wait for my turn for a long time, which was time-consuming. Anyway, I managed to pass this whole test with my effort and time.

这是一个C1驾驶照，能够让我作为一个有资格的司机在路上开车。我是在我们大学的附属驾校学习的这门技能。那是在去年暑假那会儿。我清楚地记得那是一个非常闷热的七月份。我们得考一系列的考试包括理论知识测试以及两个上路考试。驾驶训练密度强，而且教练还有点不耐烦，对我们比较严格。我不得不认真地听从指导，并每天顶着太阳练习不低于两小时的时间。让我觉得比较困难的是我不得不在旁边排很长的时间才能轮到我练习。有点点浪费时间。不管怎样，经过不懈努力我还是通过了整个考试。

The reason why I learned this driving skill is that I knew that I would be driving in Australia, which is the destination for my study abroad. You know, nearly every friend who has studied or lived there told me how important it is to be able to drive in that nation. It’s like a vehicle is your second feet without which you can’t go farther.

我认为我学习这项驾驶技能的原因是因为我知道如果我去了澳洲这个我要出国留学的地方。我估计要开车。几乎所有去那边学习或者生活过的朋友们都告诉我在那个国度驾车是如何的重要。车辆就好像是我们的第二双腿，没有的话你去不了远的地方。

I’m really glad that I have mastered this driving skill. I know I will need to pass another driving test in Australia, but I think it’s would be a piece of cake since I am at least qualified for driving here.

我非常高兴我能够掌握这个技能。我知道我我去澳洲之后需要过另外一个驾驶考试，但是我认为应该不难，因为我已经在能合格驾驶了。

雅思口语当季话题卡：Describe an advertisement you remember well 描述一则记忆犹新的广告/记忆深刻的广告/印象很深的广告

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

谈起广告，想必大家从小到大应该看得不少了。尤其是随着如今互联网的发展，我们在优酷爱奇艺等视频平台上看到的广告种类繁多。小编小时候就觉得中国的广告比外国的广告要简单粗暴一些。通常是喊几句广告词然后直接呈现产品，这样很容易让人知道你是卖的啥产品。不过同样的广告多了，也不太好记忆。相比之下，国外的广告就要文艺得多，通常都是带有小故事情节的，播放到最后才知道这是某某公司在打广告。对于考生而言，老烤鸭小编建议大家选取一个自己生活中印象最深刻的一则广告。如果实在没有看过或者忘记了之前看的广告，也可以选取我们生活中的日常必需品来谈。当然，广告也不局限于电视或者网络，路边的广告牌以及报纸上的都算。

题目

Describe an advertisement you remember well

You should say:

Where you saw it

What it was about

What it was like

Why you remember it well

参考答案

Well, an advertisement I remember well was the one selling beverages. It’s a brand called Hainan Coconut Tree Milk.

一个让我记忆深刻的广告是关于卖饮料的广告。是一个叫海南椰树牌椰汁的品牌。

I remember it was during the Spring Festival Gala of 2008 that I got to know this ad for the first time. You know what, the time during the Gala on TV was very precious, and usually companies from all industries wanted to bid for a chance to show their product. I saw this coconut milk commercial right before the gala began, so you know how dear that ad fees would be.

我记得是在2008年春季节年欢晚会期间我第一次看到了这则广告。你知道吗，电视晚会期间的时间是非常宝贵的。通常各行各业的公司都会去竞标为产品打广告的机会。我看到这个椰汁广告正是在晚会开始的时候，所以你可想而知那个广告花费有多贵了。

Honestly, the art design of the ad was inferior to their counterparts, but it stood out from them all by its impressive way of presentation. It just showed up the Chinese words of Hainan Coconut Tree Milk with a huge LOGO. I couldn’t see any animation, but can only hear a broadcaster announcing the brand name. This article is from Laokaoya website. The voice announcement was actually three seconds in length but was played for three times in one go, which lasted for nine seconds in total.

老实说，这个广告的设计与它们的类似产品的广告相比差多了，但是偏偏用一种很独一无二的呈现方式从所有的广告中脱颖而出。这广告只是显示了海南椰树牌椰汁的汉字加上一个巨大的LOGO。我看不到任何动画，只能听到播音员在播报着品牌名称。播报的声音其实有三秒钟长度但是却被一下子播放了三遍，所以一共是九秒钟的时间。

At that time, I thought it’s the worst ad design I had seen in my life. However, it really worked pretty well as when I woke up in the morning in the following days, the repeated magical voice was still lingering in my head.

那个时候，我觉得这是我人生中看到最挫的广告了。然后，这广告的确见效了，因为当我接下来几天早晨起来的时候，脑海里一直在回荡着那个富有魔性的声音。

The reason why I remember it so well is that this repetitive vocal branding just implanted into my head, making it difficult to forget.

我为什么对此记忆如此深刻是因为这重复的品牌声音植入了我脑子里，不是特别容易掉它。

Something that I took home from a tourist attraction is a cashmere scarf that I bought in New Zealand.

一个我从旅游景点带回家的东西是一条羊绒围巾，它是我在新西兰购买的。

I remember it was about a year ago, I had a trip to New Zealand with my classmates in college. We went to many places in both the northern and southern islands, but the most enjoyable experience happened in the south where there were lots of beautiful scenic spots.

我记得是大概一年以前，我和我的大学同学们去新西兰旅游了一趟。我们去了南北岛的很多地方，但是最享受的体验是在南岛，那里有很多风景点。

We drove from Christchurch to Queenstown. There’s a souvenir shop that caught us attention while we were on the road. So, we stopped by and visited there for a while. The shop was actually also a theme-based tourist spot where you could see many alpacas which were my favorites. This article is from Laokaoya website. When I was about to leave, there’s a yellow kind of tartan scarf that made me feel so soothing. The style of the scarf was like those from the luxury brand Burberry but was way cheaper. So, I took it to the counter without any hesitation.

我们驱车从基督城到皇后镇。路上有个纪念品商店引起了我们的注意。所以，我们把车停在路边去那里参观了一下。这家店其实同时也是一个主题景点，这里你能看见很多的羊驼，这是我的最爱。当我们即将离开的时候，有一条黄色的格子围巾让我感觉非常舒服。这个款式有点像奢侈品牌Burberry，但是便宜多了。所以，我就毫不犹豫拿到了结账台。

What made it so special was that this scarf was purely made of the cashmere from local alpacas. You know, I just had a weakness to these cute animals. So, a scarf like this would definitely be my special memorabilia of this New Zealand trip.

让我觉得这条围巾很特别的就是在于它是由当地的羊驼羊绒制成的。我对这种动物特别喜爱。所以，有这么一条围巾绝对可以作为我新西兰之旅的特别纪念物。

Well, a quiz program that I watched on TV was a program called the Puzzle Masters, which was broadcasted on JSTV, the biggest TV channel in Jiangsu Province.

一个我在电视上看到的游戏测试节目叫《燃烧吧大脑》，它是由江苏省最大的电视频道JSTV播出的，

It was a Chinese scientific reality and talent show originating in Germany. There were 100 contestants selected from the entire nation to show their talent on the screen. Each contestant in this show had to pass rounds of challenges with their counterparts so that they could ultimately have the chance to compete with those who represented different countries. The questions designed for the contestants were extremely difficult and required much broader knowledge.

这是一个源自于德国的中国科学真人才艺秀。节目从全国选出100名选手走上银幕。每位选手都要通过各种闯关来与他们的战友PK，最终获得与来世界其它国家的选手竞争的机会。为选手们准备的问题都设计得非常有难度。而且需要广博的知识。

I watched this program nearly once a week last year to see how things went. You know, some of them had already been regarded as the so-called elites in other people’s eyes. For example, this article is from Laokaoya website, there were many contestants from Tsinghua and Peking University which were the top 2 tertiary schools in China. They got extremely high scores in Gaokao to be matriculated in their university programs. I was quite interested in their performances in this show.

我去年几乎每周都会观看这个节目。有一些选手在别人眼中已经是所谓的精英了。比如，节目里有很多来自清华和北大的学生。这是中国前2的高等院校。他们在高考中获得了超高分进入相应的大学专业。我对节目中他们的表现非常感兴趣。

I was quite into the quiz program because it was educational and helped me broaden my horizon. I once regarded myself as a “straight-A” student, but I was actually quite shallow in mind after knowing those great minds from this show.

我很喜欢这个测试游戏节目是因为它非常有教育意义，也帮助了我拓宽视野。我以前觉得我自己还算是尖子生，但是看了这个节目中的厉害的人，觉得自己在思想上还是有点肤浅。

A prize that I desire to win is the first place of the 21 Century English Speech Competition, which is considered one of the most well-known English language competitions in China.

一个我想获得的奖是二十一世纪英语演讲比赛的第一名，这个比赛被视为中国最出名的英语竞赛之一。

The one who gets the first place will be offered a chance to attend the International Public Speaking Competition held by the English Speaking Union in the United Kingdom, and definitely will also have an opportunity to go sight-seeing in the U.K.

拿到第一名的人会被提供一个机会去参加由国际英语联合会在英国举办的世界英语演讲比赛。当然，也会有机会去英国游玩。

I got to know about this competition and its tempting prize when I was in my first year of college. You know, I was majoring in English Language and Literature, and at that time to get the Championship is considered the coolest thing. I remember a fellow student of our college has got the first place in that competition and she literally rocked the entire university.

我知道这个比赛和这份诱人的奖励是在我上大学一年级的时候。我当时修读的是英语语言文学专业，在那个时候获得冠军名次会被视作最炫酷的事情了。我记得我们院的一位学姐就过的了那场比赛的第一名，她简直嗨爆了整个大学。

Well, to nail it is not that easy. I will have to put a lot of effort and time into practicing English except for the daily lessons that I receive at school. For instance, this article is from Laokaoya website, I need to enhance my language skills and focus heavily on the techniques of delivering speeches. Apart from that, I assume reading something about everything is essential because you won’t become a good speaker unless you are a good reader.

要想获胜并不是那么容易。除了在学校接受的日常课程学习外，我得付出极大的时间和努力来练习英文。我需要提高我的语言技能，然后重点提高我的演讲技巧。除此之外，我觉得读万卷书也很重要，因为只有成为一个好的读者才有可能成为一位好的演说家。

The reason why I long for this prize is not that I really want this fame but that I regard this prize as one of my long-term goal and testimonial of language learning. I know it’s hard but I would spare no effort in getting this prize.

我渴望这个奖项不是因为我非常想要这个名誉，而是我把这个奖项当做我语言学习的长期目标和成果的见证。我知道这个比较难，但是我会不懈努力来获取它。

A piece of clothing I’m keen on wearing is actually a woolen hoodie that I bought at Stanford University.

一件我喜欢穿的衣服是一件我在斯坦福大学购买的羊毛卫衣。

Last fall, I went to Standford with my school team for a robot competition there. When we finished the event, we were guided to the store and I found this blue woolen hoodie with a Stanford LOGO.

去年秋天，我和我的校队一起去了斯坦福大学参加机器人比赛。我们活动结束之后，我们被带领去了商店，然后我就找到了这件蓝色的印有Stanford标志的卫衣。

Honestly, I didn’t plan to buy some memorabilia there. But, the weather was getting colder at that time, I had to buy a piece of heavy clothing to keep warm. So, this blue hoodie drew my attention. I picked it up and touched it to make sure it’s heavy enough. After I tried it on in the fitting room, this article is from Laokaoya website, I checked it out at the counter without any hesitation. Fun fact was that I almost wore it every day while I was in California even when it’s getting dirty. Now, I still wear it quite often.

老实说，我当时并没有在那里购买纪念品的打算。不过，当时的天气慢慢变凉了，我不得不买一件厚点的衣服来保暖。所以，这件蓝色的卫衣就吸引了我的注意力。我拿起它摸了一下确认衣服很厚。在试衣间试了一下之后，我就毫不犹豫地去结账台结账了。有趣的事是我当时在加州几乎每天都穿它，即便是弄脏了。现在，我依然经常穿着。

Well, the reason why I enjoy wearing it is that this hoodie is comfy and helps me keep warm during a cold day in the fall. Plus, its LOGO makes this hoodie somewhat meaningful, you know, at least it helps me keep the precious memory of my days at Standford.
