本期节目话题背景
最近,雅思口语出了这样一道题“Describe a time you visited a new place.”,这就不得不提到我最近常去的一个地方,那就是健身房。这家健身房的合伙人是我的朋友,出于朋友义气,我当然要去捧她的场啦!听说周末还能在这里遇到明星?不过我可不太感兴趣,我只想好好锻炼身体。
在描述这道题时除了要说清楚你去哪儿,还要说清楚时间以及为什么会去,对我来说,健身房的免费服务也是吸引我去的重要原因之一。
本期Part 2 话题
Describe a time you visited a new place
You should say:
Where the new place is
When you went there
Why you went there
本期节目话题参考文本
Several months ago, I went a new gym because one of my friends bought into the gym partnership and she wanted to have more customers. She knows I like working out and playing basketball so she invited me and my friends to check out the new place.
The place is in downtown and fairly easy to get to. It has a great fitness facility, large personal training space, and a full size basketball court. But we were told not to play basketball before five pm because there are offices under the gym so I thought that is quite funny.
When I was there, a personal trainer did a free physical assessment and scanned my body-fat percentage which turned out to be only 15 percent. The staffs there are quite friendly and helpful but I think the membership is a little pricey. But I understand because it is new and in a prime location.
Another attraction of the gym is that supposedly many Chinese celebrities go there during the weekend to work out and sometimes they attract paparazzi but I am not really interested in that. I just want to work out play basketball and go home. The best part of this gym is that guests and members can take part in clinic treatments and gain valuable nutrition advice from their on-site dietitians because they understand how important it is to have a healthy diet in order to have a healthy body and mind.
