网络上流行的“别人家”体居然被雅思口语命题官盗用了!他们居然让考雅思的同学们描述一个我们喜欢的家庭，还特意强调not your family!呵呵，太简单了不是!好多雅思考生搬出了贝克汉姆一家啦，安吉丽娜朱莉一家啦等模范家庭，当然还有美剧看多了说Modern Family的，其实我们身边的羡煞旁人的家庭就很好讲啊，至于为啥喜欢这个family，原因可以有很多啊，比如家长的教育方法很好啦，家长总是抽时间陪孩子啦，或者夫妻和睦，成天秀恩爱啦，诸如此类。
都说幸福的家庭长的基本都一个样，咱们就随便挑个样板，和雅思考官聊起来吧：
When it comes to a family that I like, the first couple that pops into my head is my neighbors, who have been married for over 50 years.
The husband is a retired public servant. He’s the most knowledgeable man I’ve ever known. When I was little, kids in the neighborhood would gather around, and listen to his vivid stories about heroes in Chinese history. And his wife, she’s like my role model. She has everything it takes to become a perfect wife. For starters, she’s a fantastic cook. She babysat me once, and I can still recall the flavor of the twice-cooked pork she made me!
They say they didn’t really know each other when they first got married. Back then, they didn’t have the freedom to choose their spouse, and they just tied the knot right after the blind date arranged by their parents. People say love will come in time, and that’s true! Having been together for a long time, they came to have a tender feeling for each other. It turned out that they have the same interests like reading and playing Chinese chess. After dinner, I always see them taking a walk in the park nearby, holding hands. We’ve been neighbors for more than 15 years, and I never saw them fight or argue over anything. They have been supporting each other through hard times and happy moments. I was told they never exchanged vows at the wedding ceremony, however, years of companionship is better than any flowery speech.
I learned from their picture-perfect marriage that mutual respect is the very foundation of an everlasting relationship. I believe that’s the secret of their happy marriage.
几年前雅思还考过happy marriage，如果旧题回归，这个素材就又可以拿去用了!简直不能再机智!
