雅思口语Part2：在社交媒体上看到的有趣新闻——东京奥运会

　　从7月23日东京奥运会开幕至今，微博上终于出现了新一波的“人类高质量”热搜话题。比如：#中国组合赛艇女子四人双桨夺金# #当花滑比赛放了周杰伦的歌# #中国队夺冠的9个高燃瞬间# #东京奥运会的纸板床裂了# #杨倩妈妈说女儿是单身# #张继科发与水谷隼对战的视频#

　　7月28日，张继科在他的微博上发了以前自己与水谷隼对战的视频为国乒队加油，真的很燃。

　　在今年的奥运会上，我们错失混双金牌之后，国兵队员们一定特别需要这种增加士气，提高战斗力和自信心的东西来面对接下来的比赛。

　　乒乓史上中国队拿到的金牌够多了，给别人点儿机会，咱们也看看银牌长什么样儿，挺好的。希望我们的奥运健儿们不要气馁，平常心面对，无论什么名次都不重要，只要平安健康地归来就好。

　　今天，借着奥运话题，打算跟大家聊一聊怎么把这么好的素材运用到我们口语考试的备考中。

　　考试的时候，大家如果遇到了这道题：Describea time you saw something interesting on social media(描述你在社交媒体上看到的有趣新闻)，就可以聊奥运会的事。至于“有趣”，大家往往会纠结这两个字，觉得一定要说搞笑的。

　　其实不一定，每个人对interesting这个词的理解是不一样的，你可以讽刺，可以批判，可以讲开心的事，也可以说难过的消息。

　　关键其实在于，只要你讲的事在你看来是有价值的，是引起了你的真正兴趣并且能够抒发很多感慨的新闻就可以。

　　我们可以从两个不同的角度来展开，一个是选取中国选手获取金牌的故事，另一个是选取中国选手错失金牌的故事。

　　比如奥运会首金获得者杨倩姑娘的故事，讲起来应该是一个令人愉悦、振奋人心又可可爱爱的故事。描述重心可以放在杨倩是个清华大学的00后姑娘，杨倩夺冠后比心，杨倩的珍珠美甲等方面。

　　再比如，跳水男子双人10米台比赛中，中国组合曹缘/陈艾森不敌英国选手Tom Daley/Matty Lee，获取银牌。以往大家印象中的中国跳水梦之队失误了，你可能会伤心，虽伤心总是难免的，但冠军也本不应该那么轻易拿到。

　　我们不妨从夸赞英国选手的角度来展开描述，显得我们虽败犹荣，沉稳大气有风度。梦之队依旧是梦之队，但是我们也恭喜恭喜英国选手超常发挥了。个人认为，这个思路有可能会让考官眼前一亮。

　　尽管如此，如果去考试，我还是会用杨倩夺首金的素材，毕竟这是多么令人愉悦的事件呀，不讲一讲就浪费了。接下来给大家分享我的完整答题素材。

　　I’d love to talk about a very inspiring piece of news that I saw on social media. It’s about a young athlete from China who won the first gold medal in Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

　　Well, this girl’s name is Yang Qian.

　　I read this news on 24th July because that was the day when she won the gold medal. I was thrilled by the exciting news obviously and I was so proud of her. Later, I read more information and reports about her, learning that she is a 21 years old student From Qinghua University, which is the top university in China. This title has made her more attractive since it’s very rare for Chinese athletes to have such a wonderful educational background. The netizens couldn’t hide their admiration for this young and smart champion. I felt delighted reading about her since there hasn’t been a very exciting news for a while in China.

　　Besides, I saw a picture of her with an adorable gesture of a heart.That was interesting and this gesture brought her a lot of likes from the audiences of Chinese netizens. People used the word cute,adorable, sweet, etc to describe her. She later explained why she had this gesture, saying that it’s because she saw some people who weregiving her this heart gesture. That’s why she replied with the same gesture, which was indeed a very polite and nice reaction.

　　I found this news interesting also because some people found that this girl had her nails done and there are some pearls on her nails.This detail proved that she is not only a serious athlete who helpedour country to win a gold medal, but also a sweet girl who wants to look beautiful.

　　Anyways, it is definitely the best news that I have read for the past two weeks.
