雅思口语【国家传统】思路解析:How you feel about it
在描述完一个传统的节日之后,也要谈谈自己的感受,至于感受,我们可以从正反两方面进行探讨。从多数同学的回答来看,大家一般都会选择正面进行阐述,但我们也可以从反面来聊。至于具体的观点,我们则可以从“tradition”对应的观点着手,比如:参与者/活动/规则/开始时间/持续时长/活动地点/功能等。
-从参与者着手
你喜欢可能是因为考虑到社交性,你可以在该传统里加固友谊,也可以认识新朋友;你也可能会烦躁于该传统为你创造的社交机会,比如:走亲戚,因为他们总是会聊你不敢兴趣的话题。
Example:
To be honest,when I was young,I liked visiting my relatives and I even looked forward to it.Every time I went to their homes,they would give me gifts and money.However,as I got older,I get bored with it.
I hated all the questions they asked me about my life,like school,boyfriends,and what I wanted to do in the future.It is none of their business.After a while,I started visiting less even though my family disapproved.
-从活动着手
你喜欢可能是因为考虑到活动本身,你可以通过参加活动获得些什么;你也可能会烦躁于该传统下的活动过于繁琐,占用了大量的时间,比如:去庙里拜佛,你需要拜很久但又不知道意义何在。
Example:
I love this market very much because it makes our city lively and vibrant.It also allows us to stop for a rest.During the year,we are rushed off our feet忙碌almost every day.We are busy with work and study,but there is no time to kick back andrelax放松and do the things we enjoy doing.
But when i go to the market,it just takes me back in time when everything was slower.I can wander around the market at a leisurely pace taking in the atmosphere.The market is also a good place for me to learn more about Chinese culture and see people I grew up with.
-从地点着手
你喜欢可能是因为考虑到地点,该传统可能需要你去到某一特定的地点,这个地方可能风景很好;你也可能会烦躁于该传统需要你去的地方并不一定是你喜欢的,比如:墓地。
Example:
Well,it is usually a long,exhausting trip to the cemetery to sweep the graves坟墓.We first have to go back to our hometown,then get up at the crack of dawn早起to make the 3-hour drive through the mountains.
Even though the journey is tough,it gives us a chance to go back to nature and appreciate the simple things like birds singing,beautiful flowers blooming and lush郁郁葱葱的green hills.We all come away from the trip more connected to each other and grateful to have a close family.
-从规则着手
你喜欢可能是因为考虑到规则本身,比如:作为小孩子去亲戚家拜年,大人得准备红包;你也可能因为这些规则而感到烦恼,比如:当你长大了,你就需要准备好礼物和红包。
Example:
Honestly,I don't enjoy visiting my relatives during the festival as it costs me an arm and a leg.As a single woman,I have to fork out for many things.I have to give red envelopes to everyone and I never know what an acceptable amount is to put in each envelope.
I also have to buy a lot of food and drink as I have a big family and I have to buy gifts on top of that.I spend most of the year saving up for the festival.
