大家想想，我们和陌生人聊天的时候，最容易产生化学反应，炒热气氛的问题是什么?不就是「你那有什么好吃的?」，「你喜欢吃XXX吗?」，「XX路有一家店你吃过了吗?」...对不对?在英文对话中也一样。外国人对中国的文化知之甚少，所以每次聊天大家不妨聊一聊吃的，让外国朋友们涨涨见识。
在雅思口语的PART 2卡片题里面，也有不少可以聊到吃的话题噢!
比如说下面这道题：
Describe a time you planned for a happy event.
You should say:
what event it was;
how you planned it;
who helped you;
and explain how you felt about it.
这道题需要大家描述自己策划的一件让人开心的事~ 一下子是不是没思路呢?但是，如果大家可以聊食物的话，就简单许多啦~
可以说，你为朋友或家人做了一次饭，让对方很幸福!
Last month I threw my parents a surprise party on their 20th anniversary. I sat them down at the dining room, and served them a delicious meal cooked by myself.
先一句话，回答第一问。我为我父母的结婚纪念日做了一顿大餐!
The whole thing took me almost three hours to prepare. I planned this because in my mind, the 20th anniversary was a big deal. It took 20 years of love, affection and patience to get there, and was certainly worth celebrating.
然后用2句话交代自己是如何准备的：花了3小时来准备，而且因为20周年很有意义，所以其实自己很早就有这个想法了。
I did this all by myself, because I wanted it to be a secret, but I did follow every step in the recipe preciously just to prevent the food getting messy，cuz my parents favorite food Squirrel Fish was like a huge challenge. So perhaps I could call my IPad the biggest helper.
在这里，如果是语速比较快的考生，可以和圈哥一样，说一两道特色菜。但是如果是语速偏慢的考生，建议用一句简单句回答就好，把重点放在最后一问上，避免头重脚轻。
As for my feelings, well, I certainly felt emotional and content. I mean, I felt a great sense of fulfillment when I saw how happy my parents were. You know, when my father gave the toast, he said how proud he was to have a daughter/son like me.
最后，在聊一聊自己的感受。建议大家在聊感受的时候，只是单纯讲happy，sad的话，就有些太抽象啦~尽量添加一个小细节，这样会更有画面感。比如说，父亲为我感到自豪，和我喝了一杯。
这道题可以用食物来回答，其他类似的题目也是可以的。比如说这些话题：
Something you ate for the first time. 美食初体验
An app that you think is very useful. 做菜、搜食的应用软件
A person you would like to spend time with. 和会做菜的盆友/家人打发时间
A large company you are interested in. 百胜(旗下品牌肯德基，必胜客，小肥羊...)
A creative person 做菜超有创意的人
Work in foreign country. 外国的食物让你印象深刻
A piece of equipment. 微波炉，或者是烤箱，酸奶机，果汁机等等~
总之，中国人就是一个以吃为主的国家，所以如果大家不知道聊什么的话，聊吃的准没错!
