【鲜菇杂谈】5月新题：一次丢东西的经历

　　5月新题陆陆续续地出来了，虽然很多地方的雅思考试在频频被取消，但是大家还是不要放弃学习。就算最近不能考试，也要时常关注考试，每天看看这些题目，不用刻意地去练，想想思路，想想细节，看看老师们的答题参考，慢慢地就不会觉得备考有那么难了。

　　今天题目很日常，丢东西的经历人人都有，难的只是如何把事件的经过和内心感受展示出来。

　　有两种情况。一种是丢了但是没找到，所以非常沮丧。一种是失而复得，那么必然会长舒一口气。这个感受就是考官最关注的，希望考生能够真切地表达出来的东西。

　　给大家一些思路：

　　思路 1：My phone was stolen when I was shopping in a crowded mall.

　　思路 2：I lost an earphone when I got off the train and didn’t find it back.

　　思路 3：I thought I lost my dog, but she went back home on her own.

　　接下来，我们选取思路 2，描述坐火车的时候匆忙中丢了一只蓝牙耳机，回去找没找到。

　　✓ When it was: last year

　　✓ Where it was: on the train

　　✓ What you lost: an expensive earphone

　　✓ Explain what you did after you found that you lost it: I went back but didn’t find it.

　　大家在日常练习的时候也可以这样适当做一些笔记，工工整整地写在本子上。不要写太多，否则会干扰你的思路，口语表达的时候过度依赖文字答题会不自然。

　　下面是一个完整的参考素材，给大家详细解析一下。

　　This topic is really annoying because I have to recall the bad memory of losing my earphone.

　　首句直接表达对这道题目的厌烦也算个性。

      It was in October last year. I travelled from Beijing to Shenyang on a train. I was wearing the earphones all the way listening to music and sleeping. The music was so loud that I

      almost forgot to get off the train when it arrived at Shenyang railway station. I got up immediately and rushed out of the train. At that time, I didn’t pay attention to my earphones.           I simply turned off the music on my phone.

　　详详细细地交代时间、地点，故事的背景。

　　After walking for a minute, I took off my earphone and at that time, I realized that I lost one. It was really a bummer.

　　这句话是个很地道的口语表达，建议背诵。

　　The train had left. If I lost it on the train, there was no way I could get it back. However, if I lost it after I got off the train, maybe it’s lying somewhere on the floor. Therefore,

I went back to my route hoping to find it. Sadly, it was nowhere to be seen. I guess I must had lost it on the train near my seat.

　　交代寻找的过程和心理活动。

　　I was not happy at all since it was a very good earphone and I only used it for a week. I don’t usually lose things. That’s even worse. I felt awful. Anyways, I was fine. I bought

new earphones and I always keep an eye on where I am when I take trains now. I don’t like rushing because I don’t want to lose things any more.

　　表达一下并没有找到的沮丧，回到现实，总结此事带来的教训和后续行为的改变。
