部分内容如下:
What is your favorite festival?
Just like most Chinese people, my favourite festival is Spring Festival, which is also known as Chinese New Year. It's the main one in my country and most people have quite a nostalgic connection to it, so yeah without doubt, Spring Festival is my favourite.
分析:此题难度水平较低,主要是要掌握中国各类节日的英语表达。The Dragon Boat Festival
端午节;Double Ninth Festival重阳节;Mid-Autumn Festival中秋节;National Day国庆节。
加分词汇:nostalgic怀旧的;乡愁的
地道表达:without doubt; be known as…..
How do you celebrate this festival?
Well typically in my country this festival is all about spending time with family so we all congregate at a relative's home and spend one or two days there eating home-cooked food and just chatting up with each other. The main focus of the festival is being with family so that’s precisely what we do – spend time with our relatives.
分析:此题从内容上来讲不难回答,难就难在一些表达方面,比如“春节团聚”、“拜年”等等。
加分词汇:typically;congregate聚集;precisely
地道表达:home-cooked food;chat up聊天
Do you celebrate festivals from other countries?
There are certain festivals such as Christmas and Halloween, and we sometimes have parties with friends to mark these festivals but we don’t really celebrate them in the same way that we celebrate festivals from our own country, we don't take them very seriously they are just an excuse to have a party.
分析:此题难度不大,估计很多同学能第一时间想到的是圣诞节。难点在于如何表达除了圣
诞节之外的国外节日,比如万圣节 Halloween,复活节 Easter等。
地道表达:certain festivals; mark these festivals度过此节日,庆祝此节日。
加分语法:in the same way that…that引导的方式状语
Where do people usually go during festivals?
As I mentioned before, for almost every Chinese festival we traditionally spend time at home with family. But in recent years this habit is shifting slightly – young people are increasingly choosing to spend festivals abroad, travelling on holiday. I think this is because they see festivals as time-off work so it’s a perfect opportunity to go travelling. So a lot of younger adults go travelling but older people will still opt for spending time with family.
分析:此题还有一种问法就是大家节日会干什么,其实回答的内容差不多。此处前考官给的
