雅思口语Part 2 重要的规则

重要的规则

Speaking Part 2

嗨，各位小伙伴！在今天的推送中我们一起来看看雅思口语Part 2“An important rule in your school/at work”这个题目。

许多小伙伴都觉得这个题目不好讲，一来想不到学校或是工作的地方有什么特别值得讲的“重要规则”，二来就算想到了，感觉说满两分钟又很困难，似乎两三句话就可以说完“为什么重要”或是“这个规则的意义在哪儿”。

其实，还是我们一直强调的那句话：Part 2的核心是讲一个和题目相关的个人经历，重个人感受和情绪，而不是非常干瘪地介绍这个事物是什么。

融合自己的个人经历、感受、情绪，大家可以试着想想：对于这个规则，自己对它的感受是否有变化，这个变化的节点是在什么地方。

学校/工作中的一些规则：

许多中小学可能都有规定，学生中午的时候必须午睡(take a nap)，不能在午休的时间做作业或者玩手机；或是在上、下午分别安排一次统一的眼保健操(do the eye exercises)；再或者像上化学课进实验室做实验时，必须佩戴护目镜（wear goggles）、上体育课允许穿牛仔裤、住校生晚上11点必须熄灯睡觉。而对于工作的人来说，有些公司可能会规定员工不得在休息区域（break room）抽烟、不允许员工携带自己的移动硬盘（external hard drive）、U盘（USB flash drive）到公司、必须穿平底鞋（flats）（如医院）、每周/每两周举行一次小组会议分享本周工作中遇到的困难或学习到的新技能等等。

以下是一篇参考范文。大家可以看看如何讲自己对这个规则的感受变化融入到这个题目中。

So, I’d like to talk about a rule in my high school. Basically, during a 40-minute break in the morning, all seniors would be gathered at the sports field for routine exercise, namely grouping in four rows and running on the track for four laps. In fact, this has been an honoured tradition and a mandatory rule in many high schools. 【简单介绍规则是什么】

break 休息

senior 高三学生

sports field 操场

routine exercise 日常锻炼

group in four rows 四列为一组

four laps 四圈

a mandatory rule 强制性规则

I was repulsed by the rule at first because I wasn’t sporty, and in particular, I hated running. So, I would try every possible means to skip it. For example, I sometimes pretended to be under the weather or made up lame excuses like “My English teacher asked me to help him sort reading materials.”【对这个规则的最初印象/感受】

be repulsed by 对……感到厌恶

sporty 运动型的，擅长运动的

skip 不参加

under the weather 身体不舒服

make up lame excuses 编一些蹩脚的借口

Time flew by. At the end of the first semester, we took a fitness test in which female students were tested onan 800-meter run.Well, I barely finished it. The moment I crossed the finish line, my legs trembled, my face turned pale, and I was out of breath. Then, my deskmate joked, “See? That’s what you‘ve got after skipping routine running so many times.” Suddenly, I realised the long-term benefit of the required daily workout. It helps us adjustto middle-distance running; beyond that, it’s a straightforward way for us to chill out a bit. Then, in the second semester, I tried to follow the rule. Gradually, I could run 800 meters without much difficulty. An added bonus for me? I didn’t catch a cold as frequently as before.【什么样的机缘让自己对这个规则的感受发生了变化。】
