很多备考雅思的同学说，对于雅思口语中an interesting animal这道题，其实考官并不是让我们泛泛的介绍一种动物，而是应该介绍一下我们跟这位interesting animal的独特经历。
比如去动物园看到猴山上的猴子蹦来蹦去，去夜市看到萌宠一条街上的兔子荷兰猪，或者去宠物商店看到睡成猪的阿猫阿狗。不是介绍他们有趣的习性，而是描述看到他们的时候就让你“心生宠爱”的感受。好吧好吧，满足大家……
如果看到猴子，我们可能用到jump up and down(上蹿下跳)，chase each other around(互相追逐)，grab food(疯抢食物)，scratch themselves(挠痒痒)等等;看到熊猫，可以说他们一直lie on their back/side/front(仰壳躺着，侧躺着，趴着)，半天不动一下，或者偶尔chew on some bamboos…… 或者去到澳大利亚看koala bear卖萌等等，都是很好的素材。
下面来段每个人都可能经历的一段素材，去宠物店看动物：
I’d like to talk about my pet cat.
I first saw him in a pet store. That day my mom and I were shopping in a mall, and when she was trying on a skirt in the fitting room/dressing room, I just waited outside, feeling a little bored. Luckily, just next to the shop there was a pet store, I could see adorable dogs and cats through the window.
I walked in, and there was this lovely kitten meowing to me. And he reached out his paw from the cage, like he was trying to invite me to play with him. I just fell in love with that little creature the second I saw him. I opened the cage, and held him in my arms, and he rubbed me with his head, and looked at me with those sparkling eyes. My heart was melting at that moment, and I told myself, I would definitely take him home. And just at that time, I heard my mom looking for me next door, so I asked her to come over here and check him out. And when my mom came in, he jumped down to the ground, and started to lick his arms. My mom found him so likeable, so we decided to take him home.
And after just one month, he became a little fatty, which makes him even cuter. When he was asleep, he looks just like a soft toy.
Now I just couldn’t imagine my life without him. Every night, he would sleep beside me, and sometimes, he even snores, I know he’s actually purring, but it’s just so funny.
你的宠物还有可能曾经是只homeless cat or stray dog(流浪喵和流浪汪)，你也可以跟雅思考官说说第一次见到它们心生怜爱，带回家的场景呀。
