如果大家感覺雅思口語tradition不太好跟別的題目合并，那么就不如“有誠意的”跟雅思考官介紹一下中國特色的傳統(tǒng)。耳熟能詳?shù)膫鹘y(tǒng)節(jié)日是最好說的，開頭聊聊節(jié)日的背景，后面說說沿襲了N多年的傳統(tǒng)，在這天大家都會如何celebrate，然后再提一嘴現(xiàn)代社會有沒有新的慶祝方式，基本上時間就到了。

　　所以前面幾十秒基本都是在講故事，一定要挑一個大家熟悉的素材，像紀(jì)念愛國詩人屈原的端午節(jié)，就不是很好說，反正讓我講屈原的故事，我用中文貌似都說不明白……(當(dāng)然大家應(yīng)該都是有文化的好少年哦，知識面肯定比我們寬廣)

　　這里給大家分享一篇有關(guān)“七夕”的傳統(tǒng)。因?yàn)閺男〈蠹揖蛻?yīng)該聽過牛郎織女的故事吧，不過不用把未刪減的故事從頭到尾給考官介紹一遍，這樣就有點(diǎn)兒偏題了，簡要介紹一下就OK，之后立刻說說咱們來慶祝該節(jié)日的傳統(tǒng)就可以了：

　　I'd like to talk about the things we do on Double Seventh Festival, AKA, the Chinese Valentine's Day. This festival originated from an old Chinese mythology， which is a sad love story. Once upon a time, a girl from heaven fell in love with an ordinary human being, but their love was strictly forbidden by the girl's mom, the Goddess of Heaven. She couldn't stand the idea that her fairy daughter had married a mere mortal, but at the same time, she was also touched by their unconditional love, so once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh month on Chinese lunar calendar, the two lovers were allowed to reunite on a bridge formed by a flock of magpies. To celebrate this annual meeting, on that day, single women always make offerings to the separated couple, which may include fruit, flowers, tea and face powder. They go to the local temple to make wishes for marrying someone who would be a good and loving husband. And at night, we would gaze to the sky to look for two bright stars shining in the Milky Way that symbolize the couple. This tradition has lasted for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty.

　　But now this festival has its new meanings, I mean, it's been completely commercialized during the last couple of years. Businessmen would take every opportunity to promote their products on that day, for example, by offering tempting discount and flash sales or organizing activities for young couples.

　　So you see, today, this festival is all about having a day off and celebrating love by enjoying ourselves with beloved ones.

　　A young cowherd (這里不用cowboy的原因不用我解釋了吧……), Niulan, came across a beautiful girl, Zhinv, the Goddess's seventh daughter, who had just escaped from boring heaven to look for fun. Zhinv soon fell in love with Niulang, and they got married without the knowledge of the Goddess (這里的knowledge不是知識的意思啦，而是the state of knowing about a particular fact or situation). They lived happily together and had two children. But the Goddess of Heaven found out that Zhinv, a fairy girl, had married a mere mortal. The Goddess was furious and ordered Zhinv to return to heaven. On Earth, Niulang was very upset that his wife had disappeared. Suddenly, his ox began to talk, telling him that if he killed it and put on its hide (我不會告訴你hide還有“獸皮”的意思……還有ox跟bull有啥區(qū)別呢?ox是被閹割的公牛，專門在田地里耕作的), he would be able to go up to Heaven to find his wife. Crying bitterly, he killed the ox, put on the skin, and carried his two beloved children off to Heaven to find Zhinv. The Goddess discovered this and was very angry. Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratched a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever, thus forming the Milky Way between Altair and Vega (牛郎星和織女星). Zhinv must sit forever on one side of the river, sadly weaving on her loom, while Niulang watches her from afar while taking care of their two children. But once a year all the magpies in the world would take pity on them (可憐、同情他們) and fly up into heaven to form a bridge (就是傳說中的鵲橋，"the bridge of magpies") over the star Deneb (天鵝座第一亮星) in the Cygnus constellation (天鵝座) so the lovers may be together for a single night, which is the seventh night of the seventh moon.
