　　Actually, about two years ago I was travelling to Hong Kong with my friend and we were due to take a morning flight around 10 o' clock or something like that. Anyway we were all packed and ready to go (and of course we were quite excited as you can imagine – because we were travelling without our parents), when we arrived at the airport we couldn't find our flight anywhere on the departures screen, so we double checked and still couldn't find it anywhere, in the end we went to the information desk and they told us that our flight had been changed to 8am (we'd already missed it).

　　As you can guess we were at first quite shocked and then pretty angry. The airline claimed that they had sent out messages informing all passengers of the time change – but we hadn't received any notification. In the end we got the hold of the duty manager and luckily he was quite sympathetic, we were put on a later flight for no extra charge so everything worked out alright in the end.

　　分析:

　　·事件类的雅思口语话题要避免流水账式叙述。关于接收错误信息，重点在于错误信息是什么以及带来的影响和个人感受。注意这里的时态是过去时，所以考生要描述的是过去经历的事件。事件描述本身并不难，考生的难点在于，如何将错误信息描述清楚，在说清楚5W的同时故事不枯燥。日常生活中除了旅行外，雅思口语考试看错时间，迷路遇到路人指错路等都是可以拓展话题的方向。

　　·加分词汇: packed, shocked, sympathetic (有同情心), luckily, pretty

　　·地道表达:something like that...as you can imagine, as you can guess,

　　·加分短语: due to..., ready to go, double check, get the hold of..., work out, put on a later flight
