雅思口语里面这个foreign food最好选一种一听名字就知道肯定不是中国菜的来说，例如pizza大家都知道是Italian food，泡菜Kimchi是韩国餐桌必备，炸鱼薯条fish and chips是英国名菜，菠萝炒饭是东南亚风味的泰国菜，还有什么焗蜗牛是法国经典料理。这些foreign food大家既熟悉，又不会跑题，所以推荐从他们下手。
今天给大家的参考素材是：日料铁板烧。
I’d like to talk about teppanyaki, which is a typical Japanese cuisine, or to be exact, a Japanese cooking method. The chef would prepare the dish in a hot iron plate in front of the guests, so we could see how the dishes are made, which is quite an unusual dining experience.
The most common ingredients are beef, shrimp, lobster, chicken, and assorted/various vegetables.
The last time I tried teppanyaki was about a year ago when I was travelling in Japan with my little cousin. It was the most authentic tenppanyaki I’ve ever tasted. I mean, we have lots of Japanese restaurants in China, but none of them could offer those dishes like the one I visited in Japan.
That was the most famous local restaurant in Tokyo. It’s impossible to get a table during dinner time without a reservation. We had a long wait before we got our seats, but it was totally worth the wait.
We were only one meter away from the chef, he’s super skillful, I mean, he could turn those raw materials into mouth-watering dishes in just a few minutes. The most memorable dish was grilled lobster tails. The texture of the meat was so smooth and soft, it was like it could melt in my mouth. Now just the thought of it could still make my mouth water.
If I had the chance, I would definitely go back to that restaurant again.
通过雅思口语“做过的事”和“没做过的事”可以各种互变原则，我们可以很顺利的把它变成a special meal you’d like to try的素材，具体怎么变大家随便发挥想象力吧。另外，这里故意说了同伴是my little cousin，所以，如果你想给little cousin加点儿戏的话，这个又可以变成spent time with a child的素材，例如你的little cousin从来没吃过铁板烧，然后你带他/她去日本当地最正宗的铁板烧吃烤龙虾尾，然后小孩子就超级兴奋，吃的满脸都是，然后你就拍他糗照，但是小孩子完全无视你因为铁板烧真的太好吃了… (好了大家继续编吧)
语言点解析：
assorted = of various different sorts 例如：
The meat is served with salad or assorted vegetables.
The children arrived back from the game with their assorted friends.
a box of assorted chocolates
melt in my mouth = (of food) to be soft and very good to eat
They serve steaks that just melt in your mouth.
