广大雅思考生普遍反映，没有什么运动是不烧钱的!除了在家穿拖鞋跳郑多燕，任何运动都是a little expensive!如果大家对于这道雅思口语题没有思路，可以从以下几个方面考虑该运动是否很费钱：
1. 装备。这一项包括从头到脚的专业装备，各种outfit。例如头顶的helmet，脸上的glasses，手腕戴的sweatband，再加上什么sneakers啥的sportswear，一套装备下来就得不少钱吧!
2. 器材。Fitness equipment一般可都不便宜，无论是跑步机(treadmill)还是简简单单的一个瑜伽垫(yoga mat)，都是要钱的哇。
2. 场地。一般除了自己在家做运动或者小区里的户外健身广场，去gym都是要花钱的，无论是打篮球，羽毛球还是游泳，都是要收门票滴吧!
3. 教练。学一门需要skill的运动，都是需要别人教的嘛。请一位personal trainer或者coach是很贵的哦!They are paid by the hour!
4. 一些特定地点才会有的运动。有些运动并不是在所有城市都可以做的哦!例如跳伞啦，蹦极啦等极限运动，或者是很挑季节的运动例如滑雪。所以，为了做这些运动，就不是光买门票这么简单的事儿了，还得买机票……
除了上面需要考虑的因素，可能大家还可以想到更多的方面，那么就都搞进答案里就好了!下面的素材供大家参考：
The sport I’d like to talk about is snowboarding.
I first went snowboarding when I was in junior high school, before that, every time my mom took me to a ski resort, we would just go skiing or snow tubing. But one day, I wanted to challenge myself so I went up to a steeper slope, and I saw several people swoosh past. I felt it was so cool and exhilarating. So I begged my mom to find me a coach, you know, to teach me this awesome sport. But to our surprise, hiring a personal coach is outrageously expensive, they charge us 500 RMB an hour, maybe it’s because that was during the peak season.
I tried to teach myself but it was humanly impossible. I kept falling down over and over again. I just couldn’t keep my balance and my movements were awkward. It was so different from skiing. So my mom decided to find me a coach anyway, so that’s how I learned this sport.
And I have to say, this sport has cost me a lot. After I got the hang of it, I became obsessed with this sport. I even got a snowboard online for myself, ‘cause I don’t want to rent one every time I go there. And as for the tickets for the resort, they are a little bit unreasonably expensive as well, about 250 RMB per person. But luckily, I live in a place where it snows a lot during winter. Otherwise, I’ll have to include the train tickets or flight tickets in the cost every time I go snowboarding.
