09雅思口语新题:A Car or Vehicle

 Describe a car or vehicle you would like to have in the future
 You should say:
-Which will you choose (motorbike or car)
-What it will look like
-How much it will cost
-And explain why you’d like to buy it

Which will you choose: In the future I would like to have a BMW car.  I think BMW makes the slickest car on the road.  First, I would choose a car rather thank a motorbike or truck because cars are a nice mix between maneuverability and versatility.  A big rig like a truck wastes a lot of gas.  A motorcycle can get good mileage, but they do not work well in snowstorms.
   
slickest = sexiest, coolest. 最酷的
例句:That is a really slick boat, where did you buy it?

nice mix = good combination. 很好的结合
例句:College is a nice mix between work and fun.
   
mileage = fuel efficiency. 油耗
例句:This car gets really poor mileage.
   

What it will look like: I would want to buy a red, mid-sized BMW.  I would pick blue because it is a color that stands out in a crowd.  I would keep it washed and spruced-up all the time so that the it would turn the girls’ heads.  It is always difficult to wow someone with your car if the inside looks like a pigsty.
   
stands out in a crowd = is noticeable. 引人注目的
例句:The tall man really stood out in the crowd.

turn the girls’ heads = capture the attention of girls 引起女孩的注意
例句:The fancy watch turned all of the peoples’ heads.
   
wow = impress. 使...有印象
例句:Tom wowed his boss with his presentation
   
spruced-up  = clean, looking nice. 干净的、清洁的
例句:I spruced up my room before my mom came home.
   
pigsty = messy, untidy, dirty 脏的 乱的
例句:Wow, did you see Rob’s house, it was a pigsty!
   

How much it will cost: The car will cost a pretty penny.  BMWs are not a poor man’s car.  Most people who drive them are really loaded.  In light of this, it will probably take some time before I can shell out the money to buy one.

pretty penny = expensive 贵的
例句:Buying a new house costs a pretty penny, its expensive.
   
a poor man’s = inexpensive 便宜的
例句:It’s a poor man’s beer, but it is my favorite beer.
   
loaded = wealthy 有钱的 富有的
例句:Kim is loaded, she is very rich.
   
In light of = acknowledging … 考虑到…
例句:In light of gas prices, I suggest we walk.
   
shell out = spend 花、花费
例句:I don’t want to shell out 10 dollars for a hamburger.
   
And explain why you’d like to buy it: I would like to buy a BMW because a good car is a mark of pride in my country.  Not all cars are the same.  I really like cars and tend to dote all of my attention and money on them.  I love the feeling of driving on the open road.  I like driving with the pedal to the metal, going as fast as the car will go.  I love to go joy riding at night without the lights.  It is a hear-stopping experience.  I guess I really want the car as a trophy show off to my coworkers.  If I owned a BMW I would be the envy of the whole office.
   
mark of pride = an important symbol or respect. 身份的象征。
例句:Having a good watch is a mark of pride in some European countries.

例句:Kyle loves his children—he is always doting on them and spoiling them.

例句:Sue puts the petal to the metal when she drives long distances.
   
heart stopping = thrilling, very frightening  令人震撼的 吓人的
例句:Watching the boy fall off the cliff was a heart-stopping experience.
   
show off = display with pride 炫耀
例句:I am going to show off my spoken English to my brother when I get home.
