2015年雅思口语考试话题汇总
A happy eventLet me talk about my graduation ceremony. Actually the ceremony was very short and kind of too formal but still, it was a happy event.On that day, my classmates and I were all dressed in caps and gowns and arrived early. You know in China, most of the parents do not pay too much attention to the c hildren‟s graduation ceremony, and that is the reason why my parents did not come. After the guests were seated, we lined up in order and walked in. Then the principal and some honored guests delivered speeches and some awards were presented.The most important part of the ceremony was, obviously, the rewarding of the diplomas, when the students were called up to the platform, one by one, shook hands with the principal and received our diploma. Unfortunately, a couple of my classmates failed to get enough credits so they did not get a diploma.‟Then after the ceremony, I took lots and lots of pictures with my classmates, because I knew graduation would be the end of the years I shared with these wonderful friends of mine.The graduation ceremony was not just a happy ending to a past academic experience, it also marked the beginning of a whole new stage, probably an even more challenging one in my lifeA sports eventI really enjoyed watching the London Olympic Games. I planned well ahead to make sure I could watch as much of the games as possible.And I was so lucky that I did not miss the beginning of the London Olympic Games. The opening ceremony was amazing which showed us the contributions the British made to world civilization. I particularly like Mr. Bean‟s hilar ious performance, I can remember that he just made a little trouble during the show on purpose, it is a typical British humor, and I enjoyed the song-Hey Jude. Some friend of mine complained that the opening ceremony was not well organized or even confusing. But I think it was just a more creative approach to presenting a great culture.During the London Olympics, hundreds of world-class athletes competed for their nations. Swimming was one of my favorite events because I am a pretty good swimmer myself, I had wait for Phelps to surprise me again with his lightning speed, but my expectations were totally smashed by the results of the race he took part in. But then my disappointment was gone when Sun Yang captured the gold medal in the men‟s 400m freestyle final. This reminded me of the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger”. All athletes are just human and anything is possible during the competition. They have to give it their best shot.Watching the athletes from different countries competing against one another is extremely uplifting. Bias still got in the way from time to time. But the Olympic spirit was respected and promoted by most of the participants.I wish I would have the opportunity to watch an Olympic game on site one day, I suppose that it would be a totally different kind of feelingA weddingWell, to be honest, up to now I have just attended a few of weddings, even I am now at the age when a lot of my friends are starting to get married, while the majority of those wedding are traditional Chinese Style, they were more or less the same. So today I want to share with you a special experience in a wedding ceremony.A college friend of mine got married last month. I went to his wedding ceremony. It was held in a church and began in the morning. That was the first time I attended a typical Western-style ceremony, pretty simple but romantic.The officiant made some opening remarks. Then the handsome groom, in a black tuxedo, walked to the altar with the best man and waited there. He was a little nervous and sweating all the time. I can understand his feeling, since wedding is one of the most important moments in our livesWhen the Wedding March was played, the bride‟s attendants entered, including the maid of honor and the flower girl. The bride entered last in her white wedding dress, escorted by her father. She looked very beautiful on that day..Then the bridge‟s father left her with the groom. The couple exchanged wedding vows and wedding rings. After that they kissed and were pronounced husband and wife. I was so moved watching that sceneI met a number of my old classmates that day, and we recalled some precious memory that we shared during years of study at the university. And also they talked about who will be the next one to get married. I had no ideas about that, the only thing l could say it that I can not be me, cause I was still single at that time. That was really a memorable experience.A partyI have attended several parties, such as birthday party, farewell party and so on, but the most memorable one should be the party that we held during the last night of my college school education. It was just in our dormitory. It is simple but meaningful, Some of my classmates organized this party in order to recall some precious memory that we shared during years of study at the university.There were altogether 11 people present that day, since all of us knew that it was the last night we stayed at school, the part went on long into the morning next day. We drank beer and chatted with each other, and exchanged our wonderfully experiences.During the party, it was suggested that everyone tell a most impressive story happened in college, someone said it is the first time he skipped the class, other said it is the poor food in our canteen. When it was my turn, I was too sad to say a word. Then all of them gathered around to comfort me. In the end, we wished each other good luck in the future.That party made a deep impression on me, because it convinced me that our friendship will last foreverA festivalIn China, Spring Festival is one the most important festivals. It is also getting more and more popular in some foreign countries. When Spring Festival comes, it means that a new year comes, and people grow a year older. During the festival, it is very crowed throughout the country.There is a Chinese saying: children are always looking forward to Spring Festival, while the adults are afraid of its coming. Children like it because they can eat many kinds of delicious food, set off fireworks, buy new clothes, and get together with many relatives. Adults are afraid because when it comes, that means they will spend lots of money on the festival, and spend lots of time to prepare for it. However, this situation has been changed nowadays. The standard of life in China has improved a lot, and people do not need to prepare everything a month earlier, because they can buy everything in the supermarkets at anytime.On the eve of Spring Festival, all the families get food, clothes and Spring Festival‟s goods prepared, and get together get together to have meals and say goodbye to the last year, and welcome the New Year. After the meals, they wait until midnight comes. They set off firework then.All the people throughout the world pay much attention on it. Our country of course holds some national celebration to celebrate it. This most traditional festival in china will go on being celebrated in the future.A carThe vehicle I will probably buy is a Mini Cooper, which is named after John Cooper, the designer of the original mini. It costs about 250,000 RMB. But it looks like a 500,000 RMB car, I have to say.I am looking for a small car with good performance. One of my friends introduced this car to me, and I got totally impressed by Mini. The exterior was so cute, like a chubby baby because it looked pretty compact. The car is sleek too. You know, shiny.Unlike Beetles, Mini has a powerful engine, which makes it similar to other BMW cars. It can even handle the bumpy roads in the suburbs. It has good gas mileage as well. That is definitely good news when the petrol price is still sky-high here in China, although recently it falls a little.I looked small, but the interior turned out to be very spacious. The backseats were probably only good for kids, though. You can park it anywhere because of its small size, which is really nice in a city where there are not enough parking spaces.I am sure I will buy a Mini because it is just so fun. It is almost like if you test-drive a Mini, you will buy it.Describe a performance or a showI guess you may heard about Jay Zhou, because he is so incredibly famous in China, and you know, I went to Jay‟s concert last year. It was held at Shenyang Olympic Sports Center which can hold 20,000 people. I had long been a big fan of him so when a friend of mine got me a ticket to his concert, I was too exited to say a word.I just could not wait till that day came around. I booked a hotel near the Sports Center, so I could arrive there early. I also made a huge poster with the word …JAY‟ on it, to hold up during the concert.On that day of the concert, it turned out not just young people went there. Actually, the concert attracted people of all ages, the stadium was totally packed. And I even met my school teacher. What a coincidence.Then when the singer actually took the stage, he was greeted with the enthusiastic cheers by us. He sang songs from many of his albums. And he sure knew how to work the crowd as he interacted with us and ask us to sing along, it was pretty much the highlight of the concert. The live music and the thrill of just being there were incredible.That is really a unique experience that I will never forget all my life.Describe an activity (success or skill)Well, I would like to talk about a ( ) achieved during my first working yearOne day our department manager asked me to prepare for a presentation on the products and services of my company. He told us that a delegation of Egypt Power Company would pay a visit to our factory, so we should make a brief introduction of our company to them once they came.Then my colleague and I check out a whole bunch of books of our company. After that, we studied our main products and figured out what we would present. Then we started making visual aids. You know, we made Power Point slides in order to make the information more memorable. We also made some note cards to remind ourselves of the information we were going to reads.During the actual presentation, my colleague did the introduction first, then I presented our typical products while he managed the slides. At first, I was a bit nervous speaking in front of the clients. But gradually I began to feel at ease. When I forgot what I should say next, I just glanced down at the note cards for clues.My boss and my colleague were totally impressed with our presentation. So after we finished the reception, some of them approached us right away to compliment us on our performance.I learned a lot from that experience, like preparation could really make all the difference between a good and a bad presentation.An electronicI am going to describe my iPhone 5, I bought it when I was in Egypt where, unfortunately, I lost my iPhone 4s in the car. You know it has been two years since I got this phone. Although iphone 6 was unveiled last year, I still have special preference to my iphone 5. Before I bought this phone, I had used many smart phones, such as Sungsong, Nokia, and Blackberry, but iphone 5 is definitely the best, hands down. It is thin, fast and gorgeous, and its touch screen is neither too big nor too small. I can easily slip it into my pocketThe operating system of iphone 5 is very user-friendly. I felt comfortable with it right away. And I love the maps, so vivid and detailed. The image quality of the camera is amazing.The only thing that bothers me a bit about this gadget is the battery. Apple‟s non-replaceable battery is becoming a big defect, in addition the phone has poor battery life which is even shorter than one day. But anyway that is not much of a problem for me.I should say the iphone is an amazing device. No friends of mine who own it regret having bought, and it totally changed the way we enjoy our lives.A handicraft that you madeWhen talking about handicrafts, I would like to share with you my experience of making a gift for my girlfriend. You know, in the autumn of the north part of China like Shenyang, leaves turn yellow and red, and finally fall when the weather gets colder and colder. I often collect the falling leaves in different colors and shapes to paste them together to make up a picture.Last year, I wanted to give my girlfriend a special gift for her birthday, so I decide to make a gift by myself.First of all, I drew the outline of the picture on a piece of paper, a pig, a house and some trees, It sounds a litter wired, right, because pig is her favorite animal. Then I cut the leaves into small pieces. After that, I stick these pieces in the frame with paste to form a nice picture. Finally, I cleaned up the picture and put it in frame.When my girlfriend got the gift, she was so happy that she said it was the best gift for her. I had the sense of achievement when I saw her smile.A clotheLet me talk about my TangZhuang. It was a gift from my mom a long time ago.It is mainly made of silk, and the color is blue with golden embroidery. It has a stand up collar which give it its Chinese traditional style.Some people call TangZhuang a Chinese style suit, which is a quite appropriate saying. It is like a suit that is easy to put on and take off. But unlike a suit, TangZhuang is very comfortable to wear. It is loose-fitting, so it does not feel tight. I can stretch my arms in any direction without a problem.I normally wear it during the spring festival and other important ceremonies. As I do not like tight-fitting clothes, the loose fitting style is the perfect suit for me.TangZhuang has become famous around the world. Some Hollywood stars have been photographed wearing TangZhuang on special occasions, and the leaders who attended the APEC conference in Beijing also wore the Tang suit.I do not get to wear that suit every often-in fact less than 3 times a year, but I still love it.A gameI played hide-and sick lots of times when I was a child. Normally we played this game in a park or in a building with lots of rooms.The whole process was like…..one of us, called the seeker, searched around for the hiders.The game started with the seeker covering his or her eyes and counting to 100 while everyone else ran off and found a place to hide.When the counting was finished, the seeker began a painstaking search for the hiding kids. And that was my favorite part of the game, the highlight, you know, the climax, because the suspense was just so intense. The hiders could really hold their breath, being afraid of getting caught. But then, there was always someone who got caught and this person would become the nest seeker.Hide-and-seek was fun because it was simple. These days we play computer games and get fun from our electronic device. But sometime I really miss those simple pleasure of life and the friends I used to play with.A piece of interesting newsLet me share with you a piece of interesting news I heard last weekend.Last Friday a guy went to a bank in New York and tried to rob it. Actually I thought he was kind of a nice guy. Just that he lost everything in the financial crisis: he got fired, he lost his house and his wife. The only thing he had was debt. So he decided to rob the bank and get some money…maybe to get his revenge on society.But the problem was he din not have a gun. So this guy just took a banana and put it in his pocket. He thought that could fool the bank tellers.Then, he entered the bank, approached a teller, told her he had a gun and asked her to give him cash. Of course the police came. This guy got so scared and he pulled out his gun, I mean, his banana…The new was interesting. But actually, it was a sad story. Obviously many people have lost their jobs in this crisis. I feel sorry for themA TV programI really into the TV show America‟s Funniest Home videos. It is a famous comedy series, not just popular in America, but in China as well.It is like…people send in some funny moments recorded by their video cameras.The host gives his amusing comment about these videos, which often show wedding or party-planning mistakes. Sometime the videos are organized around themes such as Christmas, Easter or Thanksgiving.And the coolest thing about it is the top video of the week are selected for prizes. The host has a great sense of humor and often says to the audience, “Remember, if you get it on tape, you could get it in cash”I like this because it is about family life, which is really a subject that all of us can relate to.A filmI watch the movie the Shawshank Redemption long time ago and was totally impressed. The story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man‟s name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. Not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; bu t also for the jail gnawed at people‟ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could survive. That‟s where the story happened.The part impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky.That‟s why I like this film: it encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important is to keep hope forever. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough.One part of the lines in the movie which I can still remember, it is saidl : “Remember, Hopeis a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”A advertisementMy favorite TV commercial is a shoe commercialA businessman rushed to the airport in a taxi, hoped onto an airplane and flew to another city for a job interview.Having arrived at an office building, he got into the lift and rode up to the 20th floor, looking totally nervous. He looked down at his shoes, only to notice that they did not match at all. He completed the interview anyway.The businessman seemed very disappointed. He looked sadly at his mismatched shoes. All of a sudden, his mobile phone rang-he got the job. He was so excited and jumped into the air. The narrator said calmly, “Converse can always take you there”A storyLet me share with you the Three Little PigsOnce upon a time there were three little pigs. They moved to a new village and build their homes.The first little pig built a straw house simply because that was easy. But the house was not sturdy at all.The second little pig built a stick house for himself. He did not spend much time building it either.The third little pig was pretty hard-working. He built a brick house, which was very sturdy. Then of course, the wolf came along, blew the first house down and ate the first little pig. And then in the same way, the wolf ate the second piggy.The only house the wolf could not blow down was the house built by the third little pig because he built the house as well as he possibly could. The wolf gave up. And the third piggy just lived happily ever after.My grandma told me this story when I was just 5 or maybe 6. But I still remember it because it taught me an important lesson: hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.A websiteThere are many sites on the web used for networking nowadays, but there is one that I particularly enjoy. The site is called , and that is exactly what it is-my space. It is a place where you can express yourself openly to your friends, your family, and the world. You have a main page, which is like your own website that you can design in any way you decide.There is a link for messages that works just like an email site. You can upload pictures of yourself and your friends, and then you can categorize them into folders for all to see. Your friends can add comments and feedback about your pictures. There is a bulletin board where you and your friends can post important information. There are spaces for you to tell about yourself and your interests, such as your favorite movies and music.I first heard about this site from a friend who sent me an email on my yahoo account asking e to join. It seemed a little difficult and tedious at first, so I did not make a space right away. But more and more of my friends began to join so I finally did too.I use the site everyday. I check my messages, change and add songs on my profile. I keep in touch with all of my friends, get to know new people through my friends‟ profiles, and find and rekindle relationships with friends lost. I learn of interesting events from my friends, and inform them of interesting events as they come up. It is a great networking tool.A sportMy favorite sport is swimming. Actually it is my favorite hobby.It is a good work-out as it exercises every muscle in my body. And I guess swimming skills are important because sometimes it can really save lives.The fun it gives me is yet another reason I am into swimming. Actually, when I was a kid, I did not know how to swim. Some friends of mine even laughed at me for that. My parents were afraid I would get hurt emotionally so my father began to teach me how to swim.He was very nice. At first, I just swam like a brick. My wonderful father showed me patiently how to kick my legs and put my face in the water, a pretty good way to “get my feet wet”. Then he taught me how to co ntrol my breathing. Little by little, I got the hang of it and felt comfortable with the water. Eventually, I could control my breathing perfectly and do the swimming strokes pretty well.Now I can swim like a fish. I can swim twenty laps in a row and still feel great. I am thankful for my father. He was awesome. He gave me so much confidence in myself. Swimming is very popular in China because it is the best all-around exercise. It keeps us fit and keeps our bodies in shape.A gardenMy favorite garden is the Classical Chinese Garden which is just a 10-minute walk away from where I live. It is always a perfect place to visit. The cover walkways provide shelter so the beautiful views can be appreciated in any weather.And the garden is breathtaking in every season. In spring everything in the garden turns green and the flowers bloom. In summer, the trees are pretty shady so we can watch fish play in the glistening ponds. The trees change colors in the autumn and the foliage looks absolutely fascinating. The garden is brilliant even in the winter because snow makes it pure and neat.This place is very beautiful, almost like a window on another world. Many elementary-school teachers take their students there to discover the secrets of the Chinese culture and many people in middle and old age prefer to do exercise in this garden..A bad weatherLast August, some friends of mine and I had a very unpleasant camping experience. We listened to the weather forecast before we set off. It said it would be sunny and breezy over the next two days, just perfect for camping and picnics. So we were totally unprepared for nasty weather.In fact, we really enjoyed the first couple of hours of the trip. The sky was nice and clear. The camping spot was at the base of a mountain and view was fantastic. We had a barbecue picnic and then started playing card games.All of a sudden, dark clouds filled the sky, strong winds blew through the campsite and it stared to pour. The temperature dropped to, I would say, probably just 8 or 10 degrees. Some friends of mine even started shivering. By the time we set up our tent in a terrible burry, all of us got soaking wet.We did not expect any rain or chilly weather, so the sudden change put everyone in a bad mood. The rain continued through the night and into the next morning, which made all of us frustrated. We just packed our stuff and left the campsite.The lesson we learned from it? Sometimes Mather Nature can be really unpredictable. So when it comes to weather, always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.An animalElephants are fascinating creatures.They are huge, gigantic! African elephant can stand as tall as 4 meters. Actually, they are the largest four-footed animals in the world. But they are pretty gentle and slow-moving. They never bully other animals.Elephants use their trunk to grad food and the use tusks to dig for water.They are social animals. The mothers lead the whole family group.People say that elephant never forget. Trainers can even teach them to use signs and pictures. For thousands of years elephants have been trained to carry heavy loads and carry people through the jungle. They are like hard-working employees for their masters. While elephants are having a hard time, African elephants are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and Asian elephant is classed as endangered. One of the biggest threats to elephant populations is the ivory trade, others threats to the wild elephants include habitat destruction and conflict with local people.I hope that we can realize how beautiful this creature is, and we should do our best to protect the elephants.A plantI am going to talking about bamboo, which is one of the most important plants in China.Bamboo is a kind of grass, but it can grow as tall as 30 meters. That is even taller than many trees. It grows very fast, like several centimeters a day. Another amazing thing about bamboo is that the bamboo stem is not thick at all, but it is quite strong. It may bend and sway in a storm, but it does not break.Because bamboo is evergreen and upright, it is a symbol of vitality and honesty in the Chinese culture. Actually, as it can survive cold winters, it is known as one of “the three friends of winter” in China, the other two being the pine and plum.Bamboo is also an important economic crop. The use of Bamboo ranges from furniture making to building construction. China has long been a major producer of bamboo products, so apparently the bamboo goods industry can contribute a lot to China‟s economic growth.And as you probably know, bamboo is the panda‟s staple diet. Actually bamboo shoots are also used in a variety of Chinese dishes. They have a mild flavor and taste really good. I love dishes that have bamboo shoots in them.An organizationI am most interested in the NBA, which stands for the National Basketball Association. It is probably the most renowned sports organization in the entire world.As far as I know, currently the NBA is made up of 30 teams from America and Canada. The organization was founded in the New York like 60 years ago. At first, things were kind of tough, but these days, it is one of the most influential sports organizations in the world.There are tons of basketball buffs in China and that is why NBA has such a huge following here. Some NBA games are even played in China and tickets always sell out in like 20 minutes.I do not know why but sometimes in China, live broadcasts of the regular season or playoffs stop being aired all of a sudden. The TV station just does not give us any explanation. And that really bothers me. Well, it is good we still have the internet.My favorite basketball players are Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. They are really cool. I admire them not just for their successes, but also for their spirit, you know, their sportsmanship. They have been named the MVP many times, which made them really legends in my eyes.The NBA is a legend, too. No doubt about it, because it is so successful in terms of making money. And more importantly, it is so entertaining. I hope more NBA players will come over to China and show us their amazing basketball tricks.。

Dress wellRecently, my favorite super model Liu Wen participated in a Chinese reality show called “We Got Married”. And this time, this legendary fashion icon finally caught the eyes of mass media in China with both of her likable personality and her incredibly fashionable clothing style.Liu Wen is currently the highest-ranked model of Asian decent in history who is now still one of the Top 3 supermodels in the world.I remember it was like in 2010, I was watching that year’s V-show online as usual. A tall, beautiful Asian girl walked onto the catwalk out of the blue. She’s smiling, confident and healthy. Since that year, I remembered her name, Liu Wen, the first Chinese model to walk the Victoria secrete fashion show ever.From my perspective, she is no doubt a natural in fashion industry. No matter showing on a formal red carpet ceremony, or just in a street snap shot, Liu Wen is always glamorous, stunning and stylish. Standing in front of the camera, she is always wearing those latest, fancy outfits from those designer’s brands, but according to herself, what she actually prefers to wear in daily life is far from that. Her selfies & private pictures posted on social media happen to prove this. From those photos, we could often see a charming slender beauty in a casual but chic vintage dress or sometimes even wearing man-style suit along with a pair of high-heels. So edgy! Plus, you’ll never fail to find those latest trendy elements on her every-day outfits. For young girls like me, she’s like a real walking fashion magazine.To my knowledge, unlike most stars who’s got their own professional stylists to help them, Liu Wen chose all those amazing outfits on her own, and some of those shirts are even designed by herself. I remember in a interview about her, she described her own style as a tomboyish, vintage and comfortable one. Recently, she’s considering about being a stylist and sharing her own fashion style with all the females worldwide, which I am really looking forward to.filmAs my favorite epic science fiction film, Interstellar is definitely the one that I would like to watch again.And it was last year, like in October, everybody around me was talking about Interstellar which was no doubt the box-office smash and the hottest topic at the moment. After hearing so much about it, I decided to go to the cinema to appreciate it with the company of my boyfriend who happened to be a major scientific enthusiast, and to my knowledge he had looked forward to it for a long time.The film is truly amazing both on plot and special effect. The whole story features a crew of astronauts and scientists who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. During this risky trip, we witness both the beauty and cruelty of the universe, the bright & dark side of human beings. But it’s actually love that really touches every audience.I have to confess that I am really not a fan of science fictions, but Interstellar definitely changes my mind. It takes use of a artistic and accessible way to help audience like me to get beneath the skin of certain scientific concept, but at the same time, we could still get its overriding message about the powerful forces of the one thing we all know but can’t measure in scientific terms. LOVE. For a masterpiece like that, who do not wanna watch & get amazed again.And I’d like to appreciate this scientific saga again also because, in the film, there are still certain cliffhangers and plots that really confused me, especially the finale. Now I’m still not surewhether those scientists and astronauts find the livable planet for human-beings or they just re-built a home for humans on a space station, and why Cooper is still alive after getting absorbed by the black whole? With all my questions and uncertainness, I do would to find out the answer by watching it againBuildingHere I would like to talk about the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, which is one of the local landmarks and famous for its unique design and architecture. I’ve been there for several times and I will recommend it to every visitor to this city.The Canton Tower is actually an astronomical and sightseeing tower designed by Dutch architects, located on Haixinsha Island, which was originally the venue for the 2010 Asian Games. It made its name and be known of the whole Asia because of its unusual and special structure shown in the opening and closing ceremony of the Asian Games on TV. Locals give it a nickname as “the slender waist”because of its twisted structure. Its exterior form is generated by two ellipses, one at foundation level and the other one at top. These two ellipses are rotated relative to another, and the tightening caused by the rotation between the two ellipses forms a "waist"; so I think that’s the reason why it has such a vivid local name.I’ve visited the interior of the tower, which is pretty amazing as well. Inside, it is subdivided into different zones with various functions, including TV and radio transmission facilities, you know, as it is supposed to be, and observatory decks for you to admire the view of the whole city, the revolving restaurant, which I heard is pretty classy but I failed to try last time, horizontal ferris wheel, recommended as the best venue for proposal in the city, exhibition spaces, shops, and 4D cinemas etc. So you can say, it is a multi-functional place for our local people. And the most important thing is, you could enjoy wonderful landscape there! Therefore, I really think this unusual architecture is a good way for you to hang out with friends and appreciate the great beauty of the cityChildhood toyAs a girl growing up in a working-class family, I did not have as many toys as other girls back to my childhood, but now I still maintain a set of building-block, for it is my favorite that is so special to me.I think I got it in the year I went to primary school. At that time, all my families felt so happy for me, especially my grandpa who always regarded me as the apple in his eyes. To congratulate me, he bought me a set of building block which was made up of like 100 pieces which were in different colors, sizes and shapes. Can you picture how excited I was when I got it? I was so ecstatic about my new toy and treasured it as much as I could, played it almost every day, sometimes alone, sometimes with the company of my home girls. I could still remember how I used the blocks to construct houses, buildings, castles and stuff like that. With just a blink, I’ve already become an adult, a lady, and my favorite building block has already been put aside into the closet. How time flies!But it is still very special and meaningful to me, for it’s given by my grandpa who passed away like 10 years ago. When I was young and grandpa was still alive, he always played it with me together and it was a lot of fun. Now when I see my favorite toy blocks, it could always remind me about my beloved grandpa and those beautiful memories we shared together.Also, back to my childhood, both of my parents were fully occupied with work to fight for supporting our family, so most of time, I had to stayed home alone and wait for them to come back. To get rid of loneliness, I usually chose to play with my toy block. In other word, it’s like my best and most special companion in my childhood.Last but not least, now when I look back, it was also very special, helpful & meaningful in the development of my intelligence. I once heard from the lecture that toy blocks were very beneficial in improving eye-hand coordination for kids. Meanwhile, by playing it, children could also take the best use of their creativity & imagination.Reasons above all make building blocks my most special toy in lifeChildhood songRecently, I’m really into a staring reality show called where are we going dad, and the original soundtrack of the show is written based on a very widespread and popular English lullaby “Twinkle Twinkle little star”, which is quite familiar to almost every kid in China, including me.I could still remember it was like 20 years ago, when I was in kindergarten. My teacher first played and sang the Chinese version of this song to us in a music course. The pleasant melody and poetic lyrics immediately captured our ears & heart. Sooner after that, it became a hit in our class and every kid loved singing it all the time.Well, about the content of the song, I heard it’s actually adapted from an English poem. And the lyrics vividly picture about the beauty of the twinkling stars and our wonders towards it. Personally, I think the part that describes the stars as the shining diamond, is written so beautifully. It’s definitely my favorite line from the song.Every time I heard the song, it would remind me about those care-free days in my childhood. At that time, humming along with the melody of the song, we constantly played games and counted stars together under the staring sky at night. So memorable!Also, since the song is so nicely written, when I hear or sing it, a beautiful picture of the staring night always arises in my mind. Then, it would easily set me free from the trivia, the troubles of daily life and bring me a sense of relief. I just love it a lot.A local improvementA couple of weeks ago, I read a news from BBC, titled “working out on a regular basis can buy us 5 more years”. It says, latest study shows that doing moderate exercise regularly can effectively reduce the risk of various diseases and bring people a longer life expectancy.Personally, I am strongly in favor of this. And to encourage more people living a higher life style, I do hope that our local government could invest in infrastructure, especially building more gyms & indoor fitness centers in residential areas. Then, it would be more likely for us to go there to work out on a regular basis. Coz’, you know, now serious smog problem makes the public in China doubt about the safety of outdoor activity.We really need more indoor fitness facilities. Coz’Can you imagine how frustrated I am, when I make up mind to start my working-out plan, but the nearest gym or fitness club I could find is like 30-minute drive away from my flat.Actually, I am not alone. Meanwhile in the city, most urban population is either collapsing in front of the screen of TV, PC, smart phone, or fully occupied with heavy workload. Consequently, quitea few of us would spend an hour a day, 3 days a week in doing some moderate sports. Due to this situation, an increasing number of citizens in my hometown are facing the problems of overweight, obesity even heart disease. With the measure I suggest about constructing more indoor body-building clubs & facilities, I’m positive those health problems would soon be curb & tackle. Also, I do suggest those gym or fitness club would open up to the locals with a reasonable & affordable price, and this would produce more opportunities for people who are earning a living wages to join with others to keep fit & build body. For basically in my home city, cost for applying the membership of a fitness center can be staggeringly high.I would love to see this happens some day in the future and with a healthier population, it would be more likely to secure a good future for our community.Ideal homeI always picture my ideal home in my mind. In the blueprint about my future accommodation, a villa along the east coast in my hometown appears frequently. Coz’as a girl who was actually born and raised in a coastal city, sea and ocean have already been an indispensable part in my life. And the east coast happens to be the most beautiful and livable past back to my home city, which makes this region a wonderful location for my villa. If my dream came true, I would definitely go swimming in the sea or walk my dog on the beach every morning. It’ll surely remind me of those carefree days that I’ve spent there back to my childhood.Plus, A 2-floor villa with white walls & blue roof would be even greater, which I guess, will perfectly blend in with the outlines of the landscape. Picture this. Standing on the second-floor of my house and looking out of the window, I can see the blue sky, white cloud, golden beach and crystal-clear water, just like an amazing painting! I bet, if I ever feel stressed out or tired about everyday life, the picturesque view out of my window will always cheer me up and bring me a sense of relief.About whom I’d love to live with, of course it would be my husband and kids in the future. You know, with 2 floors, there must be at least 3-5 bedrooms in my house. Since I always wanna have a big family with 3 or 4 children, it should be spacious enough for us to live there comfortably. Also, as a major fan of movie, if it is possible, I would like to put a big plasma TV set and a whole set of stereo in my living room. Then, when I draw the curtains, turn off the light and play my DVD collection with my equipment, my living room will literally turn into a “private cinema”. I’m pretty sure that it is a dream for all movie lovers.Family eventAs 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.FestivalWhen talking about one of the most important festivals in my country, I would like to say the mid-autumn day is my favourite actually.The mid-autumn day is a traditional Chinese festival which occurs on the 15th of August of the lunar calendar, which means it usually happens on someday in September or October each year, according to the solar calendar. It is said that the moon is the roundest of the year and roundness symbolizes family reunion. So you can say this festival, like the spring festival, has special meaning to Chinese people. On that day, we usually first have a big family dinner, and then is the biggie, we will sit outside the house and enjoy the great shape of the moon. We all served with mooncakes, you know, a traditional food especially for this festival, and various kinds of fresh fruits and local snacks. The elders, like my grandparents, would like to tell us folklores about the moon, and the kids, like when I was younger, would listen to those fascinating stories and play lanterns with my cousins. So you can imagine it feels very cozy and relaxed sitting with families under the beautiful moonlight, chatting about chores in daily life, when the weather is usually cool and comfortable.The reason why I am fond of this festival is because it represents the underlying traditional value of China, where family gathering together is a big deal here. No matter where you are, with or not with your families, in this day, you could just rise up your head, look at the sky, the round moon would remind you of this festival, and your family as well. No wonder this festival has fired the imagination of many poets and writers as the symbol of reunion with the families and being homesick. And it is one of the most indispensable festivals in China.Musical eventWell I’ve been to various sorts of musical events, like concerts performed by LPO(London Philharmonic Orchestra) , CBSO(City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra) and piano concert conducted by LangLang who is the most renowned pianist in China. But today I’d like to talk about Beyoncé’s live performance, which stands out particularly.I still vaguely remember that was around a couple of years ago, I was doing my bachelor degree at Shanghai. My bestie offered me a VIP ticket as my birthday gift, allowing me to watch the live show at the first row. I was like totally thrilled, not only coz that’s my first time to see those celebrities so closely, but the show was also performed by Beyoncé. Well actually, I am her die-hard fan, since I can feel her soul and energy lying in her melody and lyrics.It was raining a little during that night, which was beautiful yet incomplete. The live concertturned out to be a starry affair. The spacious Shanghai Stadium was packed by the passionate music nuts who are obsessed by Beyoncé’s phenomenal live performance. Unlike some of the recording artists, Beyoncécould always ignite the night and her fans through her unique vocal abilities and strong dancing performance. Everyone was singing along with Beyoncéand the enthusiasm was contagious among the crowd, the attendance of the Eminem pushed the concert to the climax. I could still remember my heartbeats in my chest.So, yeah, that was the best musical show I’ve ever seen and the most memorable birthday I had. Coz of the precious memory it left me! And the live concert itself has some sentimental value to me.Environmental lawThe law that I would like to see in the future is about a significant environmental problem which can be widely seen all over the globe, the white pollution. Since the invention of plastic bags, our life has been facilitated to the largest extent; most people don’t have to take heavy bags made from cotton, canvas, or animal fur. However, many of these plastic bags can only be used once, and when they are thrown away, they cannot be degraded and even pose threat to the fertility of the soil because the commonest way to deal with white pollution is to bury them deeply underground.Therefore, I see great urgency to initiate a law which strictly bans the use of all plastic bags, especially those made from non-degradable materials in every aspect of our life and under any circumstances. This law will take effects by the central government fining companies which continue producing these bags and supermarkets or shopping malls which provide the bags for free or with a minimum charge. Also, ordinary shoppers should be encouraged to reuse the bags by giving them discount for the purchase and instructing them the proper approach to recycle the plastic materials.This law, in my view, is very important, not only because the ecosystem is threatened by the soil erosion caused by plastic bags, but also, if we continue using these bags, the survival of the human beings may be endangered.When the law is implemented, the awareness of environmental pollution can be enhanced and most people, hopefully, will no longer use plastic bags in their daily life. They will choose more environmentally friendly materials such as paper bags. Since then, the cities will no longer be engulfed in white pollution and soil productivity can be increased.Child who made you laughSpeaking of something that a child did that made me laugh, the first child that comes to my mind is Tian xin who is the daughter of a famous actor and an actress. I knew her from a popular reality show called Dad is Back which airs on Zhejiang TV. This show includes many celebrity dads and their children so it has gained much popularity in China.Tian xin is a super cute and lovely girl. In my opinion, she is the most interesting child in this show. What impressed me most is her signature dance Little Apple. She is so adorable when she follows the music and moves her body. I think she has inherited some part of talent from her parents. Additionally, she is also a warm-hearted and considerate girl. In the show, she often tries to help other younger kids and is willing to share something that she likes with others.One thing I must mention is that she has presented her gift for acquiring a language although sheis only three years old. She often says some complicated words or long sentences which I think are pretty difficult for a three-year-old. However, because she is too young, she has a limited understanding of some words, which often makes me amused. I remember once when she was having lunch with her family, her father told her to eat more chicken. She responded and said “yep, eating more chicken can make me get more muscle”She even showed her “muscle”on the arm proudly to her father. When I watched this part of the show, I just couldn’t stop laughing. You know, she thought “chicken”and “muscle”are the same thing because they have similar pronunciation in Chinese. What makes her funnier is the way she showed her “muscle”and the serious look on her face.Her innocence and cuteness make me become a big fan of this show and bring me loads of happiness.Successful companyWhen it comes to this topic, I would talk about a photography studio which has a weird name called Papapu, it’s also the name of the owner’s dog and he thinks that it’s pretty catchy and easy to remember.I know this place because the owner of the studio, Jack, is my high school classmate and I would say that he is a very talented and passionate photographer, he showed great interest in taking photos since high school, he always had his camera with him when there was a big event like our graduation party, he took an awesome photo of me in a pretty dress and I still have it.His studio mainly takes wedding photos for couples, wedding photos are kind of a big deal for the young people in China. They would spend a fortune on a set of creative and fashionable photos to be the reminder of their sweet love.I think this company is successful because Jack is a wonderful photographer who always tries to push his own limit and take the best photos. Before he starts to work, he would always talk to the couple and get to know them a bit more so that he can capture the most unique side of them. I’m pretty sure that he would be my photographer the day when I get married.Not told complete truthWell, speaking of a time that I was laid by others, one thing just popped out in my mind. Actually, that was not an ugly lie but a sweet lie. I mean the person who lied to me was actually trying to give me a surprise.I remember that was in the university, my boy friend and I were in different cities. Back then, he was in Wuhan and I was in Beijing, so it’s a long-distance love. We normally just kept in touch with our phones and laptops, you know wechat, qq, phone calls, video chat etc. But you know what, something nice just happened.I remember that was a time near mid-term, I was busy with some basketball match as I served in the Students’Union. I thought my boy friend was in his uni, and just before the match he told me he was in a class. But, you know what, when the match finished, I saw a man, standing outside the court with a bunch of roses. He came to me without telling me and he just showed up in front of me and wanted to give me a birthday surprise. You know, at that time, I was so happy and surprised, nearly burst into tears.What I am saying is that it is about 19 hours train from his place to my uni. And normally we met each other in person only in summer or winter holidays as hi university is too far away from mine.So, that was the time I was not told the whole truth but I did love that white lie!An art or craft activityTalking about an art activity that I remember be part of is the photography competitionin my high school. Well, to be frank, my memory fails me and I cannot recall the exact date when I attended the craft activity but I am sure it must be in the high school.The activity actually was kind a like a project, aiming to help students get familiar with photography and be more conscious about preserving traditional culture. Actually, the theme of the competition is “Where is our tradition”,which means all the participants have to take a series of pictures of things related to our tradition or culture.Some of my classmates who were interested in photography and me formed a team and we did the project together. Some of my team members are really brilliant and professional in photography and some others are specialized in traditional stuff and history. After we registered for the competition, we were really excited and eager to do it well. So, naturally, we did a lot of preparation,the whole group was divided into 3 teams, Team 1 was responsible for searching information on the Internet and Team2 to design the framework and album, and I was in the Team 3, taking the pictures. My team went to lots of places in my hometown and took lots of pictures, including paper cut, pottery, embroidery and even Chinese knot. We worked really hard for it after school because the time for us was quite limited, only 1 week I guess. For one or two days, we even burned mid-night oil together in my home. But, when we finished the album,we achieved great sense of fulfillment. I mean we really do something by ourselves. More importantly, through this art activity we learnt more and about our tradition.TV programWell, I would like to particularly talk about a TV program that I have been watching since I was a little kid called “Action English”.I think it’s really hard to say what kind of program it is since it teaches you certain things in English but it’s also very entertaining. It starts at 6 p.m. everyday, and I still remember that when I was still in middle school, on weekends or holidays, I would just grab a pen and a notebook, sit in front of the television 15 minutes earlier and wait for the show.There are three parts in the program. The first part introduces some classic movies and the host will pick out some slang from the script and explain the meaning of them. Then he will make some examples of the slang and repeat it for a few times. As for me, I’m just busy taking down notes every time. And the second part is always my favorite one since it’s all about music. The host will introduce an English song including its background information, lyrics and the story line.I think it always feels different when you listen to a song and know exactly what it’s talking about. Last but not least, in the third part, the host will introduce some western culture that we never have a chance to know. It’s just so vivid that makes me want to be there one day and see for myself! Well, the reason that I regard this program as my favorite one is that it not only provides me with a relaxing and productive time during the holidays but triggers my interest towards learning English as well. It shows me the way of learning English from what I really love such as music and movies, after all, interest is the best teacher!Person in the news。
