2017年5-8月雅思口語考試Part1模擬預(yù)測（10）

　　很多備考雅思的同學(xué)看到“a time you were not allowed to use your phone”的時(shí)候，都很震驚，之后心里高呼：誰敢把我跟我的手機(jī)分開!不過冷靜想想，咦?考雅思口語的時(shí)候不是“沒收”了我的電話么?考筆試的時(shí)候貌似也是呢!再仔細(xì)想想，貌似坐飛機(jī)的時(shí)候空姐也會催我關(guān)機(jī)哦!好吧，確實(shí)有些時(shí)候是不讓我用手機(jī)的。

　　關(guān)于這道貌似一句話就能解決問題的題目，一定要多描寫一下心理活動(dòng)，把想用但不能用的糾結(jié)感覺和無助無聊的神態(tài)多多描述一番，多占點(diǎn)兒時(shí)間：

　　I’d like to talk about the experience I had on a plane when I was travelling to Hainan, which is the southernmost part of China. It was a long flight that lasted for almost 5 hours. I felt really bored when I was on the plane, but we all know that we are not allowed to use the phone when we are up there, not even if the phone is on flight mode. Luckily I got a window seat, so I could look out of the window and admire the views from time to time. However, the view could become less appealing when you spent hours looking at it. The only thing I could do is to read the magazines they offered on the plane, but I’m a fast reader, it only took me half an hour to finish the whole magazine, and I have to say, it was not entertaining at all. And it made me kind of sleepy, so I just fell asleep. When I woke up, I found out it would still take an hour before we could land. So… well, I’m not proud of what I did next, but I was bored to death. So despite the rule, I took out my phone, and started to play video games. Unfortunately, one of the flight attendants noticed what I was doing, and she stopped me immediately. She asked me politely to turn off my phone. So I went back to my nap, ‘cause there was nothing else left for me to do.

　　Although it was a 5-hour journey, I felt as if it took me a whole day. I just can’t imagine how I survived the long flight without my phone.

　　語言點(diǎn)解析：

　　1. flight mode也可以叫airplane mode或者offline mode，就是我們常說的“飛行模式”。

　　2. Window seat就是靠窗的座位，餐廳靠窗的座位也可以這么說。

　　3. Admire后面除了可以接人，也可以用于表示to look at something and think that it is attractive and/or impressive. 所以我們說“欣賞美景”用這個(gè)就很合適了。再例如：He stood back to admire his handiwork. 或者I’ve just been admiring your new car.

　　4. 一般在描寫不讓用手機(jī)的時(shí)候，可能很多情況下需要用到“無聊”這個(gè)形容詞，我們不要只會說bored、boring，一定記得勤替換。例如可以用mind-numbing替換boring，用bored to death/tears或者bored out of my mind來替換bored.
