培养一个爱好,解决一类话题
Describe something you bought that was difficult to use at first Where you bought it How you used it successfully And how you felt about it 看到这个话题的时候,很多同学都不知道从哪儿入手。我首先想到的是一个非常经典的口语话题:摄影。只要把摄影的话题多和相机的使用相结合,就可以很完美地解决这道part2里面的难题。大家准备口语话题的时候完全可以从自己的爱好入手,把一个话题挖掘透,这样能够起到举一反三的神奇效果。 ////////// For a very long time, I wanted to learn the art of photography. As a kid, I would rejoice clicking pictures from my parent’s phone or for that matter any body’s phone or camera. It was recently that I bought for myself a micro DSLR to learn photography. It is a Sony Alpha 7, with two lenses. The 24-70 allows me to shoot photos at a closer distance while the 70-200 helps me by clicking far off photos. 很久以来,我想要学会摄影技术。小时候,我就喜欢拿着父母的手机拍照片,还喜欢把玩任何人的手机和相机。最近我买了一个微单来学摄影,索尼Alpha 7,双镜头版。24-70镜头使我能够拍摄近景,而70-200镜头使我能够拍摄远景。 ● 重点词汇: rejoice v.高兴,庆祝 micro DSLR 微型单反相机 lense n.镜头 It is easy to pick up a camera, press the shutter button and makes a photo. But improving your photography means taking full control of your camera. I really got confused about the numerous external dials and menu options on the camera. This micro DSLR is far more complex than a compact camera. So I read the instruction book carefully and asked my friends for help. I found that many smartphones and compact cameras lock you out of certain aspects of photography, such as the ability to set exposure and shutter speed. Once I mastered this camera, I've been hooked on photography. I often feel the urge to go outside and shoot images, and then share them with some like-minded photographers. 拿起相机,按下快门,拍张照片,这是很容易的事。但是提高摄影技术意味着要完全控制你的相机。自从买了这台高端相机,我就迷上了摄影。我通常很渴望走出去摄影拍照,然后和一些志趣相投的摄影师分享成果。 ● 重点词汇: be/become/get hooked on 迷上了。。。(可接积极或消极的东西,不接人) high-end adj.高端的 feel the urge to do... 感到很渴望去 like-minded adj. 志趣相投的 It has been 8 months since I got the camera and have been using it extensively almost everywhere. From the solo trips that I have taken to my office parties, from the friends gatherings to our crazy fun nights. The camera has helped me in capturing the moments of life in a more beautiful way. Owning a camera teaches an individual multitude of things. The most important of which I believe is how to see things differently. Using different lenses and techniques, you can make ordinary things look unique and facinating. Also, I believe one must learn as many skills as he or she can in their lifetime. 自从购买这个相机至今已经8个月了,我在各个场合都大量使用它。无论是单人旅行,还是公司聚餐,无论是朋友小聚还是狂欢夜。这部相机帮我抓住了生命里的美妙瞬间。拥有一部相机可以教会人很多东西。最重要的是如何用不同的方式看待世界。使用不同的镜头和摄影技术,你可以令平常的事物看起来特别和引人注目。而且,我相信一个人在一生中应该掌握尽可能多的技能。 ● 重点词汇: solo trips:单人旅行 caputure the moments of life:抓拍生活中的瞬间 multitude of things:很多东西 unique:独一无二
