雅思口语机经里偶尔会出现garden，如果真的较真起来，garden有一个词条的释义就是a public park (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary)，所以貌似说成个park也不算跑题…… 不过我们还是play it safe好一些，毕竟雅思口语考官觉得你跑题了，就惨了。
Garden可小可大，如果要搞个大的，我们可以在脑海中勾画出一张欧式皇家花园(imperial garden)的图片，或者故宫的御花园也成，反正里面肯定是有花有草有喷泉(flowers and greenery as well as fountains)，林荫道(shaded road)石子路(cobbled road)肯定也少不了，最后整个人工湖(artificial lake)，湖里养几只鸭子天鹅啥的。之后必然要加入人的活动啊，说说各个年龄段的人们都会在里面做些什么，再讲讲你自己的经历，就差不多了。
如果是小的花园，就可以说说自家的“菜地”了。地产商的那句“买一楼送花园买顶层送阁楼”大家肯定不陌生啊，经常看到退休的couple们在自己的小花园里种花种草养宠物，玩儿的不亦乐乎，我们就按照这个思路，也可以在雅思考试时候搞出一篇其乐融融的温馨小文儿。
I’d like to talk about my grandma’s garden, which is full of my childhood memory.
In the backyard of my grandma’s house, there was a small garden where she planted two orange trees, and countless flowers. Every weekend, my dad would take me to her place, and I always had a good time in her garden.
In the summer and spring, when the trees were in blossom, her garden looked extremely beautiful and smelled wonderful.
My favorite activity during summer was to have a barbecue in the garden, now I still remember the inviting smell of the pork and beef, which could make my mouth water right away.
And when autumn came, my grandma would take me to her garden to pick fruits. The oranges were so sweet and juicy, and I guess those were the first organic food I’d ever tried.
And the garden became my playground in winter. It snowed a lot when I was little, so the snow was usually super thick. My neighbors and I always played snow fight around the house, and built snowmen in the garden. And on New Year’s Eve, we would put decorations on the branches and set off firecrackers in the garden, which brought me lots of fun and laugher.
Now my grandma has moved out of the house, and I really miss the good old days I spent in her garden.
回忆童年的素材都比较富有感情，可能更容易打动雅思考官哦，烤鸭们一起搞起来!
