九、不寻常的晚餐主题

我要讲的是我在一次露营旅行中不小心打碎了一些东西。去年夏天，我和朋友们去湖边露营。我们想接近大自然，放松一下。离开城市，呼吸一下新鲜空气，真好。我们在营火上做了一些美味的食物，使这次旅行更加愉快。

当我们正在搭建帐篷准备晚餐时，我不小心打翻了露营灯，把它打碎了。就在这时突然下起了暴雨，我们的营地停电了。我们只剩下手机的手电筒来发光了。我感到很尬尴，觉得我毁了整个晚上。我的朋友萨拉特别难过，责怪我笨手笨脚。

尽管一开始很混乱，我们还是设法挽救了这个夜晚。我们找到了一些三明治、零食和水果、甚至还发现了一个些蜡烛。我们决定坐在湖边一边看星星，一边吃着冷餐。气氛出奇的舒适，我们整个晚上都在分享有趣的旅行故事和笑话。最后，萨瑞为生我的气想我道歉，说她知道那不是故意的。那天晚上是我吃过的最特别、最愉快的晚餐之一。

I’m going to talk about a time when I accidentally broke something during a camping trip. Last summer, I went camping with my friends by a lake. We wanted to get close to nature and just relax for a bit. It was nice to be away from the city and enjoy the fresh air. We also cooked some delicious food over the campfire, which made the trip even more enjoyable.

While we were setting up our campsite and preparing dinner, I accidentally knocked over the camping light, breaking it. Just as this happened, a sudden rainstorm started, and the power in our campsite went out. All we had left was the light from our phone flashlights. I felt really embarrassed and thought I had ruined the whole evening. My friend Sarah was particularly upset and blamed me for being clumsy.

Despite the initial chaos, we managed to salvage the night. We found some sandwiches, snacks, and fruit, and even discovered some candles. We decided to sit by the lake and watch the stars while eating our cold dinner. The atmosphere turned out to be surprisingly cozy, and we spent the evening sharing funny travel stories and jokes. Eventually, Sarah apologized for getting mad at me, saying she knew it wasn’t intentional. That night turned out to be one of the most special and enjoyable dinners I’ve ever had.

十、学外语主语

我要讲的是一件我为学习另一门外语所作的事。我的好朋友莉莉已经学习英语五年了。每次我们吃饭或出去玩的时候，我注意到他总是坚持复习词汇不管有多晚。她的奉献精神也激励了我开始学习英语，不仅提高了我的沟通能力，而且养成了良好的学习习惯。

在我开始学习英语后，我注意使用各种方法来保持英语的有趣和有效性。我每天都用词汇应用来提高我的词汇能力。我看了很多经典的英美电视剧，比如《生活大爆炸》、《老友记》，把俚语和习语记下来练习。阅读英语书籍，尤其是《哈利波特》，对我阅读和写作技能有很大帮助。这些活动使学习英语变得更加愉快和高效。

我发现最有用的的工具之一是词汇应用程序。它非常方便，在英语学习者中很受欢迎。该应用程序根据我的等级和目标量身订制单词列表，并为我制定每日学习计划。它还包括定期复习，以帮助我更好地记住单词。这款应用程序又许多有趣地活动和游戏，比如赚取积分和解锁关卡，这让这个过程不那么无聊。此外，我读了很多书，《哈利波特》最引人注目。它充满了丰富地语言和引人入胜地故事，这真地提高了我学习英语地兴趣。

I’m going to talk about a thing I did to learn another language. My good friend Lily has been learning English for five years. Every time we had dinner or hung out, I noticed she would always stick to her routine of reviewing vocabulary, no matter how late it got. Her dedication really inspired me to start learning English too, not only to improve my communication skills but also to develop a good study habit.

After I started learning English, I made a point to use various methods to keep it interesting and effective. I used a vocabulary app every day to increase my word power. I watched a lot of classic American and British TV shows like “The Big Bang Theory” and “Friends,” noting down slang and idioms to practice. Reading English books, especially “Harry Potter,” helped me a lot with my reading and writing skills. These activities made learning English a lot more enjoyable and efficient.

One of the most useful tools I found was the vocabulary app. It’s very convenient and popular among English learners. The app tailors the word list based on my level and goals, and it sets a daily study plan for me. It also includes regular reviews to help me remember words better. The app has many fun activities and games, like earning points and unlocking levels, which make the process less boring. Additionally, I read a lot of books, and “Harry Potter” stood out the most. It was full of rich language and engaging stories, which really boosted my interest in learning English.

十一、运动主题

我要讲的是一位我钦佩的成功运动员。几年前，我加入了一个跑步俱乐部，只是为了好玩，但一开始我发现它真的很有挑战性。我甚至不能连续跑五分钟而不停下来。但我没有放弃，慢慢地，我开始进步。跑步成为了我期待的事情，我感到更强壮，更自信。看到我通过一点点努力和坚持就能改变这么多，真是太神奇了。

我崇拜的运动员是贝萨妮·汉密尔顿，她是一名职业冲浪运动员。13岁时，她在一次鲨鱼袭击中失去了左臂，但这并没有阻止她。宝芬妮重新回到冲浪运动中，甚至赢得了几项比赛。她的勇气和积极的态度真的很鼓舞人心。她告诉我们，只要有决心和努力，一切皆有可能。她的故事激励了包括我在内的许多人直面挑战，永不放弃自己的梦想。

去年夏天，我有机会第一次尝试冲浪。我和朋友在三亚，我们看到很多人在海滩上冲浪。我最好的朋友鼓励我报名参加一个初学者班。起初，我真的很紧张，因为我不擅长游泳，但她支持我，甚至和我一起上课。这是我有过的最激动人心的经历之一。当我终于站在冲浪板上，乘着一个小浪时，那种自由的感觉令人难以置信。下课后，教练告诉我，我有很好的平衡和节奏，这让我意识到我可能在需要协调的运动方面有天赋。我希望不断提高，并尝试其他活动，如瑜伽或舞蹈，以提高这一技能。

I’m going to talk about a successful sportsperson I admire. A few years ago, I joined a running club just for fun, but I found it really challenging at first. I couldn’t even run for five minutes without stopping. But I didn’t give up, and slowly, I started to improve. Running became something I looked forward to, and I felt stronger and more confident. It was amazing to see how much I could change with a bit of effort and persistence.

The sportsperson I admire is Bethany Hamilton, a professional surfer. She lost her left arm in a shark attack when she was just 13 years old, but she didn’t let that stop her. Bethany returned to surfing and even won several competitions. Her courage and positive attitude are truly inspiring. She shows that with determination and hard work, anything is possible. Her story has motivated many people, including me, to face challenges head-on and never give up on their dreams.

Last summer, I had the opportunity to try surfing for the first time. I was in Sanya with my friends, and we saw a lot of people surfing at the beach. My best friend encouraged me to sign up for a beginner’s class. At first, I was really nervous because I’m not a strong swimmer, but she supported me and even took the class with me. It was one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve ever had. When I finally managed to stand up on the surfboard and ride a small wave, the feeling of freedom was incredible. After the class, the instructor told me that I had good balance and rhythm, which made me realize I might have a talent for sports that require coordination. I hope to keep improving and try other activities like yoga or dance to enhance this skill.

十二、我的朋友主题

我要谈谈一个对我很重要的好朋友。我们是在大学时在吉他俱乐部认识的，现在已经10年了。我们都加入了，因为我们都喜欢音乐，尤其是弹吉他。那时候一起混在一起很有趣。尽管毕业后我们就分道扬镳了，但我们仍然保持联系，时不时地联系一下。

我的朋友是我真正看重的人，因为我们有很多共同的兴趣。我们都喜欢音乐，他在弹吉他和唱歌方面很有天赋。他总是非常支持和帮助，特别是当我刚刚开始学习。他的嗓音很适合唱民谣，他还能演奏一些很棒的曲子。我们花了无数的时间一起练习和表演，这让我们的关系更加紧密。

他也是一个非常真诚和谦虚的人，这使他在我们的朋友中很受欢迎。他总是知道如何让每个人都感到舒适和包容。他家经营着一个很大的桔子园，每年桔子成熟后，他都会寄给我一箱。橙子是如此的新鲜多汁；它们是我最喜欢的食物之一。我甚至去过他的果园几次，帮他收割。置身于大自然之中，一起采摘橙子，真是一种非常愉快的经历。

I’m going to talk about a good friend who is important to me. We met in the guitar club when we were at university, and it’s been 10 years now. We both joined because we loved music, especially playing the guitar. It was fun hanging out and jamming together back then. Even though we’ve gone our separate ways since graduation, we still keep in touch and catch up every now and then.

My friend is someone I really value because we share so many common interests. We both love music, and he has a real talent for playing the guitar and singing. He’s always been very supportive and helpful, especially when I was just starting to learn. His voice is perfect for folk songs, and he can play some amazing tunes. We’ve spent countless hours practicing and performing together, which has made our bond even stronger.

He’s also a very genuine and humble person, which makes him popular among our friends. He always knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and included. His family runs a large orange orchard, and every year when the oranges are ripe, he sends me a box. The oranges are so fresh and juicy; they’re one of my favorite treats. I’ve even visited his orchard a couple of times and helped with the harvest. Being surrounded by nature and picking the oranges together was a really enjoyable experience.

十三、旅游主题

我要讲的是我去年夏天的一次长途旅行。我和我的好朋友彼得去了广东的丹霞山。我们看到了独特的丹东地貌，欣赏了许多奇形怪状的山脉和岩石。大自然能创造出如此神奇的形状，真是令人印象深刻。我们拍了很多照片，在这个地区玩得很开心。

丹霞山是广东省最大的风景区，也是世界自然遗产。它被称为世界“丹霞地貌”的发源地。这里有最完整、最多样的丹霞地貌，这让我们的旅行更加精彩。除了令人惊叹的自然风光，还有许多有趣的岩层。有的像人的手和脚，有的像骆驼和大象，有的甚至像茶壶和杯子。看到大自然如此富有创造力真是令人着迷。

在旅途中，我们走了很长一段路，每到一个地方都有不同的景色。我们穿过茂密的森林，沿着清澈的小溪蜿蜒而行。我们还看到了保存完好的古老的乡村房屋，这使我们对当地的文化有了一种了解。攀登其中一座山时，我们遇到了一段几乎垂直的楼梯。爬上去很有挑战性，但令人兴奋。到旅行结束时，我们已经筋疲力尽了，但我们觉得这是完全值得的。这次旅行让我们放松下来，与大自然亲密接触，我们都认为这是一次有益的经历。

I’m going to talk about a long journey I had last summer. I went to Danxia Mountain in Guangdong with my good friend Peter. We saw the unique Dan霞 landforms and admired many strangely shaped mountains and rocks. It was really impressive how nature could create such amazing shapes. We took lots of photos and had a great time exploring the area.

Danxia Mountain is the largest scenic area in Guangdong Province and is also a World Natural Heritage site. It’s known as the birthplace of the world’s “Danxia landform.” This place has the most complete and varied types of Danxia landforms, which made our trip even more exciting. Besides the stunning natural scenery, there were many interesting rock formations. Some looked like human hands and feet, others resembled camels and elephants, and some even looked like teapots and cups. It was fascinating to see how nature could be so creative.

During our journey, we hiked a long distance, and each place we visited offered a different view. We walked through dense forests and followed winding streams with clear water. We also saw well-preserved old village houses, which gave us a glimpse into the local culture. Climbing one of the mountains, we encountered a section of stairs that was almost vertical. It was challenging but exhilarating to climb. By the end of the trip, we were exhausted, but we felt it was totally worth it. The trip helped us relax and connect with nature, and we both agreed it was a rewarding experience.

十九、思路发散角度：人际交往

1. Which is more important, competition or cooperation?

competition的意思是竞争，cooperation的意思是合作。竞争与合作分别有什么特点？分别对工作、学习有什么益处与坏处？

1. 竞争通常会激励个人努力提高自己的技能和表现 motivates individuals to improve their skills and performance
   👍 在工作中，竞争可以推动员工提高效率和创新能力 drive employees to be more efficient and innovative

   👍 学习不同的观点，增强理解能力 learn from diverse perspectives, enhance understanding
   👎 但有时可能导致决策过程缓慢 slow down decision-making

观点：两者都重要 both are important

• 竞争：激励努力、提升技能 motivate to work harder, improve skills；举例：运动员 athlete
• 合作：团队合作时更能成事 achieve more in a team；举例：员工 employee

总结：平衡两者以获最佳结果 balance both for best results

竞争和合作都很重要，但它们的重要性体现在不同的方面。竞争可以激励人们更加努力地工作并提高技能。例如，在体育领域，运动员为了获胜会不断鞭策自己变得更好。然而，合作同样至关重要，尤其是在团队环境中。当人们共同努力时，他们能够取得比单打独斗更多的成就。比如在职场中，员工需要协作才能完成大型项目。因此，这并不是说哪一个更重要，而是如何平衡两者以达到最佳效果。

Both competition and cooperation are important, but in different ways. Competition can motivate people to work harder and improve their skills. For example, in sports, athletes push themselves to be better because they want to win. However, cooperation is also crucial, especially in a team setting. When people work together, they can achieve more than they could alone. For instance, in a workplace, employees need to collaborate to complete big projects. So, it’s not about which one is more important, but how we balance both to get the best results.
