IELTS Ryan: 我在本节课中讲解了雅思口语考试Part 2的一个例子,题目是描述一次需要快速做出艰难决定的经历。我详细解释了这个题目需要回答的四个问题:情况、决定、困难之处以及从中吸取的教训。我首先播放了一个考生的示范回答,然后引导学生进行语音模仿练习,帮助他们更好地掌握英语口语表达。我还宣传了我的YouTube会员频道,鼓励学生订阅以获得更多学习资源。 IELTS Ryan: 在语音模仿练习环节,我引导学生反复练习示范回答中的关键句子,帮助他们熟悉语音语调和表达方式。练习的目的是提高学生的英语口语流利度和准确性,为雅思口语考试做好准备。 雅思口语考试例子中的考生:我讲述了一次在国外旅行时因为航班延误而错过了转机航班的经历。当时我需要在不到十分钟的时间内决定是等待下一班航班还是选择其他交通方式(火车和轮渡)回家。我最终选择了陆路路线,虽然路途漫长且花费较高,需要在不同的国家转乘不同的交通工具,并且语言不通,但我最终及时赶上了在都柏林的求职面试。这次经历让我明白,有时相信直觉并果断行动比等待完美方案更好,即使这意味着要面对一些挑战和不确定性。

Men, if you're ready to reclaim your edge, listen up. I used to be held back by constant bathroom trips, with multiple wake-ups during my sleep and looking for restrooms whenever I was out. Then I discovered Better Man. After just two months, I started experiencing fewer trips to the bathroom. Let's urge to go.

This week, we're looking at an IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card that asks you to speak about a time when you had to make a decision quickly. I will read the cue card to you now. Describe a time when you had to make a difficult decision quickly.

You should say what the situation was, what decision you made, why it was difficult, and explain what you learned from the experience. All right, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally. Here it is. We will now start part two of the exam. Start speaking now, please. Well, one time that really stands out was when I was traveling abroad and missed a connecting flight due to a delay.

i was in frankfort airport and my flight to dublin was cancelled because of heavy fog i had less than ten minutes to decide whether to wait overnight for the next available flight or book a last-minute train and ferry route through france and the uk to get home

The decision I made was to take the overland route. It involved multiple transfers, a train to Paris, then to London, and finally a ferry across to Ireland. It was difficult for several reasons. First, it was expensive and required navigating different transport systems in countries where I didn't speak the language fluently.

I also had no time to think because seats were quickly selling out, and to make matters even more stressful, I had committed to a job interview in Dublin the next morning. In the end, the journey took almost 24 hours, but I made it in time for the interview. What I learned from this experience is that sometimes trusting your instincts and acting decisively is better than waiting for the perfect option. Thank you.

Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise. In this week's free sample exercise, you will repeat the first few sentences from the model. I'll read this section of the response again to you now, just to refresh your memory. So the candidate says, "Well, one time that really stands out was when I was traveling abroad and missed a connecting flight due to a delay.

I was in Frankfurt Airport and my flight to Dublin was cancelled because of heavy fog. I had less than 10 minutes to decide whether to wait overnight for the next available flight or book a last-minute train and ferry route through France and the UK to get home.
