Describe a recent event that made you happy
You should say:
1.when and where it was
2.who was involved
3.what happened and explain why it made you happy.
答案:
1.When and where:
my friend's birthday party, last saturday evening, we went for a meal in an Italian restaurant.
2.Who: there were about 10 of us, he invited some close friends and work colleagues, most of them were people I've known since university.
3.What happened: we met at the restaurant, I gave my friend a present and a birthday card, we ordered some food, while we ate dinner everyone chatted, after the main course the waiter brought out a cake and we sang 'Happy Birthday', everyone went home quite late.
4.Why it made me happy: it was great to get together with old friends, I had some interesting conversations, it was a good opportunity to catch up with what my friends had been up to, it was a nice way to wind down after a hard week at work, the food was delicious, I went home feeling full after a fantastic meal.
学会换非正式的表达:
Some of the expressions I used were informal:
1.we chatted =talked
2.to get together with =meet
3.to catch up with =talk to someone you haven't seen for a while
4.what my friends had been up to -had been doing
5.to wind down =relax after something tiring
The examiner would consider these phrases to be "less common vocabulary". In other words, a few phrasal verbs or informal expressions can help you to get a high score in IELTS Speaking.
