雅思口语常考主题总结 part—2 （7）

        Describe a course you took when you were a child.

　　Speaking of the course I took when I was a child， I would like to talk about the badminton course.

　　I used to play badminton when I was in primary school. At that time playing badminton was really popular in China and students are taught to play badminton in primary school. I was no exception. I even dreamed of becoming a professional badminton player in my career life.The teachers were so patient and caring. They taught us how to handle the racquet， how to use forehand and backhand， how to strike theshuttlecock and how to move and maintain the position in the court. Basically， they used to be professional badminton players in the state team. 
　　All of us were really passionate about playing badminton and learned the technique quickly.

　　At that time teachers often organized badminton competition， and I usually became the winner of the race. I really indulged myself with the　process of playing badminton and enjoy a strong sense of accomplishment after I won the game. Sometimes I may lose the game， and I felt frustrated. My teachers made me realize that the most important thing is to enjoy the process of the game instead of focus on the outcome of it.

 
　　To my mind， playing badminton was more than just a kind of sport. It represented friendship as well as happiness. It was a really good platform for me to meet new friends and catch up with old friends. For example， at that time we preferred to play badminton in doubles so that every time four kids could participate in and enjoy the game at the same time. You know， the more kids involved， the happier we felt.

　　Although we didn‘t fully understand the standard rules of badminton， we all enjoyed the process of it， such as jumping to strike the shuttlecock and running from the left side to the right side. It was a good way to relax from study.

　　Describe something that you want to buy in the future.

　　Describe a vehicle you wish to own.

　　You should say：

　　what sort of vehicle it is / what sort of vehicle it would be

　　where you （first） saw this vehicle

　　what it looks like

　　and explain why you would like to have this vehicle.

　　Do you think you really will be able to buy one of those in the future？

　　Do you know anyone who has one of those？ *

　　The vehicle I wish to have is a BMW X5 SUV.

　　That SUV is equipped with four-wheel drive and is designed for on-road performance and handing.

　　It is a family car that can carry up to seven people， along with a spacious trunk [tr^？k].

　　What attract me most is that the X5 is very entertaining and high-tech. For example， the car is equipped with an amazing stereo system which enables the driver to enjoy driving over listening to the music. Also， the GPS navigation system is set up so that it can provide drivers the most convenient way to go to the destination. The reason why I would like to have a BMW X5 is that the brand name BWM always offers the best quality and the up-to-the-date technology to drivers. From the drivers‘perspective， the brand name BMW means a guarantee of security and safety to them， which is the biggest issue for them when they decide to purchase. Also， owning a BMW X5 will make me full of sense of achievement and accomplishment. It will definitely make me feel confident and boost my self-esteem when I socialize with others.

　　☆ Describe your favorite movie / film.

　　Describe a film you have recently seen.

　　where you saw it

　　what the film was about

　　who you saw it with

　　and explain what you liked or disliked about this film.

　　Last weekend， I watched a Chinese movie at home with my younger cousin.

　　The name of the movie was . That movie told the story between a father and a son. It focused on the generation gap between parents and　children.

　　In the movie， the father wants his son to become a successful lawyer or doctor in his career life so that he always requires his son to study hard and get good results in every school subject. However， the son is passionate about acting in a play and he actively participates in a school drama club.

　　Because of this divergence of view， the relationship between the father and the son worsens and grows cold. They often quarrel with each　other even for trivial things.

　　Finally， when father day comes， the school drama club hosts a special performance for students‘ parents and invites all the parents to attend. During the show， the father is impressed by his son‘s performance and realizes that the best way to love its child is to respect and support what their children want to achieve. The son is also fully aware that what his father does is for his own good.

　　I like this movie because I have similar experience as that boy has. I know the generation gap should not be an obstacle in the relationship between parents and children. But sometimes we do have some conflicts which make us unhappy. Through this movie， I realize that the best way　to deal with the problem is to maintain mutual understanding and resolve the problems in a respectful way.

　　☆ Describe your favorite book. （just a biography of a famous person. p138-p145） ：p）

　　The artist I really admire is Jackie Chan. He used to be one of the most famous actors in Hong Kong. Now he is the most successful Chinese　actor in Hollywood. He is well known for his acrobatic fighting style， comic timing and innovative stunts. He has been acting since 1960s and has appeared in over 100 movies. What is amazing is that he is the guarantee of the box office. Chan has released a number of albums and quite a few theme songs for the movies. In fact， dating back to 1960s， Jackie Chan was just a stuntman and played a bit part in films. Nobody could imagine that he would become a famous star in Hong Kong， let alone in Hollywood. What I admire him most is that he never gives up when　he comes across troubles or difficulties. In one of his interviews he said- I don‘t remember the exact words， but the main idea was- life never comes twice， thus one must not avoid the challenges. We should cherish every opportunity and put out effort in to stand out from the crowd and make an achievement.
