However, just before the day of the date, I was suddenly told that there was an exam of history on the next day. To pass it, I needed to memorize the whole book, while I had not even started on page one.  If I failed this subject, I would have to retake this course. It would not only be a waste of time, but also a waste of money since I had to pay for these credits. This article is from Laokaoya website. Do not copy or repost it. As a result, I had no choice but to give up the arrangement for next day’s date and turned to study.

那本书一共500多页，我只有一天半的时间把它全部背诵下来。显然只有白天的话是不够的。而宿舍晚上又要熄灯。因此我在酒店开了一个房间，吃的都点外卖，困了的话就睡一两个小时，然后继续起来背诵。终于在考试前2两个小时完成了任务。

The textbook had about 500 pages, and I only had a day and a half to put them into my mind. Obviously, only the daytime would not be enough and my dormitory would be powered off during the night. So I got a room in a hotel, had food delivered to my room and slept for one or two hours if I was too asleep. Eventually, I completed this mission 4 hours before the exam.

虽然最后考试通过了，但我对这一改变一点都不开心。女朋友也因为我在她生日那天没有陪她而生气。我特别后悔自己平时为什么没有好好学习，准备考试。

Although I got great grades for this course, I was not happy at all. My girlfriend was mad at me because I missed her birthday. I regretted so much that I had not spent more time on the study in normal times.

Describe a party that you joined

You should say:

What kind of party it was

Where the party was held

When you went there

And explain how you felt about the party

 

一个我曾参加的派对是在我刚参加完高考那会儿。那是一个苦乐参半的夏天。

Well, a party which I went to was the one held right after I took my college entrance examination. That was a bittersweet summer.

这是一个由我们学校的国际部组织的类似于告别会的派对。学校的行政部门觉得我们同学日后很难再有这么样的机会让全班同学聚在一起的机会了，所以觉得把这个派对搞得独一无二一点（当然也不价格不菲）。派对预定在一家五星级的酒店，我们学生也被要求穿正装，比如女士们穿上高跟鞋，男士们燕尾服也是十分建议的。那个时候我对待这个派对也是十分认真的，花了我一个月时间寻找合适的正装。

It was sort of a farewell party and was organized by our school’s international department. The school administration thought that we might have little chance to meet together again as a whole class, so they decided to make it special and unique and definitely not cheap as well. It was supposed to be held in a fancy 5-star hotel, and we were all required to dress formally, like ladies should wear high-heels, and gentlemen’s tuxedo is highly recommended. You know what? I really took it seriously. It took me like a month to seek for a suit that fit me well.

老实说，穿得这么正式让我还觉得怪膈应的，当我进入派对大厅的时候，还有点害羞和不自信。可能是我对派对这方面还欠缺经验吧。不过在跳舞环节，我最终还是成功地匹配到了我的舞伴。舞蹈过后，我们大家一起谈论了很多，讲到了我们日后的远大理想等等，那会儿的确感觉玩得还挺嗨的。

Honestly, it’s a little bit uneasy for me to dress in such a formal way, and I even felt a little bit shy and intimidated when I stepped into the party hall. Maybe simply because I was a kind of green when it comes to party stuff. This article is from Laokaoya website. Do not copy or repost it. But somehow I managed to find my partner in the dancing session. After that, we talked a lot and shared our future aspirations and indeed I had a perfect time there.

那次的派对对我来说印象深刻。我们同学在学校一起度过了很多艰难的时刻，突然要说再见了，心理还是很难受的。我觉得那次的派对在我高中生涯留了最深刻的印象。因为，我一直十分在乎我和同学的那段友谊。

That party was a pretty memorable one actually. We’ve been through so many rough times together in our school, and to say good-bye in that summer was really difficult and sad. I think the most important reason why it left my the deepest impression during my senior high school time was that I really cared, and I still do, about the friendship I had with those lovely classmates during that period.

这道雅思口语的或许对于不喜欢享受生活的人来说是个难点，因为只要停下来不干活，那就难受==； 那么是否就无解了呢？并不是，即便是喜欢工作，你依然是在享受的时间，哪怕是空闲时间。有的人喜欢在空闲时间工作也算是享受；有的人喜欢在空闲时间观光旅游；打电脑游戏；看电视剧；看电影；打麻将等等都算。烤鸭们可以多多发挥一下展现自己的爱玩的一面。

A time I enjoyed my free time was in Cancun, which was a coastal city in Mexico.

一个我曾经十分享受的时光是在坎昆，它是墨西哥的一座海滨城市。

I often got chilled living in the winter of Beijing, so I went to Cancun last New Year’s Holiday with my family to stay warm.

我住在北京经常觉得冬天特别的冷，所以我去年新年假期那会儿就和家人一起去坎昆来保暖。

It’s quite far from here, and there’s no direct flight to Mexico. I remember it took us around 16 hours to get to there, which made me exhausted. But the moment I got out of the airport, I felt a sense of relief. Maybe it’s because I needed some fresh air at that time, or it’s the nice taxi driver that made me feel so.

坎昆李这里特别远，而且还没有去墨西哥的直达航班。我记得那会儿花了我们十六个小时左右才到那里，让我有点精疲力竭的感觉。不过当我出机场之后，就感到很放松了。或许是因为那会儿的确憋坏了需要呼吸新鲜空气，也有可能是出租车司机师傅的友善让我放松了许多。

On the first day, we didn’t visit some big scenic spots there but just toured around the area where we were staying, which I think was a pretty good tip for newly arrived weary travelers, you know, to chill out a little bit by getting familiar with the surroundings. Then, this article is from Laokaoya website, the followings days were quite exciting. I had seen the most breathtaking coastal scenery in my life, and the ancient pyramid, which were all my favorites. You know, I was quite into this place, not only because the trip to Cancun gave me a place to escape the cold weather in Beijing, but also was a precious opportunity for me to get to experience a totally different and interesting culture there.

抵达的第一天，我们并没有去那边大的景点游玩，而是在我们住的周边逛了逛，我觉这特别适合感到疲惫的新到游客，来了之后看看周边让自己放松放松。之后的几天就特别的让人兴奋了，我那时见到了人生中最漂亮的海滨风景，还有古老的金字塔，都是我的最爱。我非常喜欢这个地方，不仅仅是因为坎昆之旅让我逃避了北京的严寒，而且也给我了一次接触异域而又有意思的文化的机会。

I wish I could have had more free time to stay in this place!

我真希望我当时有更多时间呆在那儿！

雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe a situation when you don’t have enough time（想做）没时间做的事情

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

此题还可能以如下几种方式呈现，但大致一样：Describe something you want to do but you do not have enough time 或者Describe something you want to do but don’t have time for(描述一件你想做但没有时间做的事情)。可能我们每个人心中都有自己想要做的事情但由于各种现实原因没有机会（时间）去做，比如忙碌的学生或者白领，几乎抽不出身子去来一个说走就走的旅行。比如想去学习一门外语，想去学做菜（比如西餐、糕点、烘焙），但是没找到合适的时间去学。这道题其实还可以换个角度思考，我们不一定非得说一个小目标，也可以是个大梦想，现在的努力的时间还不足以让梦想成真。

题目

Describe a situation when you don’t have enough time

You should say:

What it is

Why you would like to do it

How easy or difficult is it to do it

And explain why you don’t have time for it

Something I desire to do but don’t have time to do is getting a scuba diving license.

一些我特别想去做当时没有时间做的事情是获得一个潜水证。

Scuba diving is a kind of dangerous sport to newbies, so a license is supposed to be a professional preparation for amateurs to dive freely in the sea. To do that, you need to get three to four days for the training. That’s just for one level of the certificate, there’re at least two more advanced ones.

对于新手而言，潜水是一项比较危险的运动。所以，获得潜水证能帮助爱好者自由在海里潜水。要想获得证书，你得花上三到四天的时间进行训练，而且还至少有两个以上的更高级段位证书。

One of the biggest reasons why I want to be trained for a certificate is that I hope one day I could join with my friend Jack who is a scuba diving lover so that we could have more adventures in the sea and I will be less fearful with a companion. Plus, this article is from Laokaoya website, I am a person who has a weakness to sea creatures, which are the cuties animals to me.

我想培训并拿到证书的一个主要原因是我希望有一天我能和我的潜水爱好者朋友Jack一起去海里探险，这样我有个伴就不那么害怕了。另外，我特别喜欢海中的生物，他们对我来说特别的可爱。

You know, right now I’m concentrating on my own studies in school, and it’s about one more year to fish. At least, in this coming school year, I wouldn’t be able to make this little dream come true. But, hopefully, I could go to Thailand to learn that license training course right after my graduation.

现在，我还专心致志忙于学校的功课，大概还需要一年时间才能完成学业。起码在未来一年中，这个小小的理想不能实现。不过，我希望等我一毕业我就去泰国进行潜水执照训练。

雅思口语当季话题卡：Describe an occasion when you got up early描述一次你早起的经历 起得很早的经历

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

这道题在三年前考过(Describe a time you got up extremely early)，如今又浮出了水面。几乎所有的烤鸭都有早起的经历，可以说的东西有很多，比如早起为了赶飞机，早起为了赶考（路途遥远，又没住在考点附近）等等。不过，即使经历很简单，很多考生也会觉得描述起来比较困难。老烤鸭小编教过的学生中有不少人都没有太多语言用于描述这个早起的经历，可能三四句就把能讲述的事情说完了==；这里小编建议大家看到题目后，多给自己一点时间思考一下，你当时所经历的场景以及内心的感受。可以从内心上多做些补充，也可以从情景上多给些交代。这样才会让考官知道你所表达的内容是at length（足够充分）并且make meaning clear（意思清楚）的。

题目

Well, an occasion when I got up early was for a mountain climbing on Mount. Hua, which is a five-star natural scenic spot located in Hua Town, Shaanxi Province.

一次我早起的经历是要去华山登山。华山是位于山西省华县的一个五星级自然景区。

I remember it was in the first summer vacation during my college when my friends and I went to the Mount. Hua for climbing. We were living and studying in the downtown of Xi’an, and it would normally take us 2 hours to get there. I clearly remember the reason why we woke up so early, probably around 4 AM, is that we wanted to get a head up over the traffic and to be able to see the sunrise. Gosh, honestly, this article is from Laokaoya website, the last time I woke that early was probably for a day of military training in our high school. It took me a while to be fully awake, and I dashed to the washroom to wash my face, and wrap up all the stuff that we needed. As we were in a rush, we finished our breakfast on our way to the Mout. Hua.

我记得是在上大学的第一个暑假的时候，我和我的朋友们去了华山登山。我们在西安市区学习和居住，通常情况下要花费两个小时到那里。我记得我们早起的原因就是我们要赶在交通高峰期之前过去，然后看到日出。天哪，老实讲我上次起这么早还是上高中时为了一天的军事训练。起来的时候我花了好一会儿才完全清醒，然后我就迅速去了洗手间洗了个脸，打包了我们需要的所有东西。由于我们很赶，我们在去华山的路上解决了我们的早餐。

The journey to that place was exciting because none of us had ever been there before. It’s like an adventure to a mysterious world under the sea. Nobody knew what this climbing would went. But, when we got there, it wasn’ bad. The scenic spot provided us a helmet with a flashlight so that we could see the road ahead. We ended up reaching the summit and seeing the sunrise, which was quite stunning.

去那个地方的旅程很让人激动，因为我们之前都没有去过那里。就像去探寻一个海底的未知世界一下。没有人知道去那里登山的感觉如何。但是，当我们到了那里，情况不糟糕。景点还为我们提供了装有灯的头盔，这样我们能够看清前方的道路。我们最终到了峰顶看到了日出，真是很壮观。

It was definitely a great experience since I once again managed to challenge my limit, and this made me feel a sense of accomplishment.

这绝对是一个非常棒的体验，因为我有一次成功挑战了自己的极限，这让我很有成就感。

A time I managed to handle a problem through the Internet was in last winter while I was preparing my final.

一次我借助网络解决问题的经历发生在去年的冬天，那个时候我正在准备我的期末考试。

I was then a second-year student at our senior high school and was enrolled in a course called Python, which was about programming. Even though we were high school kids, our teacher was strict with us and gave us lots of assignments to finish. You know, those assignments were not easy at all and often needed quite a while to finish.

我当时是个高中二年级的学生，而且选修了一门叫Phython的编程课程。即便我们是高中学生，我们老师对我们很严苛，要求我们完成特别多的作业。这些作业一点都不容易，而且需要花费很多时间完成。

I remember there’s a problem that kind of made me stuck for hours. I was supposed to design a mini calculator with some Chinese instruction. I was about to finish it after three hours of hard work. But the thing was that my finished piece was somehow not effective in making the calculator work. This article is from Laokaoya website. I checked all the lines of code and didn’t find anything wrong. You know, that was the day when this assignment was due, and I felt a little bit edgy.

我记得有那么一个问题困扰了我好几个小时。我当时得做一个带有中文指示的迷你计算器。经过几小时的努力，我当时就快要做好了。但是问题就是这个完成的作品不知怎么的不能让计算器运行。我检查了所有的代码，没有发现什么问题。那天正是交作业的截止日期，我有些着急了。

I called my classmate Jia Hua, and he suggested me to search for the solution on Github, which was a platform for programmers. I googled it and registered an account of this website and posted a question regarding this issue. To my surprise, I got a responding thread in 15 minutes and I was told that the problem would probably be the language translation issue. All I needed to do was to insert an additional line of code to run it. You know I ended up solving this question in just half an hour!

我给我的同学Jia Hua打了电话，他建议我在Github网站上找找解决方案，这是一个程序员的平台。我当时谷歌了一下，然后在这个网站上注册了账户并发了有关这个问题的帖子。让我很吃惊的是，十五分钟内就收到了留言，告诉我可能是在语言编译上出了问题。我所需要做的只是加上一行代码即可。然后我就在半小时内解决了这个问题！
