雅思口语里最近总问你看过的一项运动....同学们可得想好了。常常有同学进去就跟雅思考官说NBA，一到罚篮助攻什么的专业词汇就挂了。其实，如果不喜欢太激烈的比赛运动，我们完全可以说说优美点儿的，例如跟雅思考官聊聊中国的跳水“梦之队”，或者更美点儿的花样滑冰。音乐一响，就可以静静的享受了!
I’m really into watching figure skating, I find that sport entertaining and relaxing. The athletes, it’s like they are dancing to the music, I mean, they cut patterns in the ice and do jumps and spins, so watching the game is just like watching an artistic performance.
When the players complete a skillful maneuver on the ice, all the audience would stand up and cheer for them, it’s just so exciting and enjoyable to look at.
This sport is really popular in my hometown, ‘cause winter here is so long that basically every kid knows how to skate. It’s our favorite pastime during winter. I fancy myself as an excellent skater, but I could never do those awesome movements in figure skating, like landing on the ice after a series of actions in the air. So I could tell from experience, this sport requires years of hard work and practice.
I still remember the first figure skating match I watched when I was little. It was … like, 10 years ago, my dad took me to a newly built ice rink to watch a game between our team and a team from a neighboring city. I don’t remember many details from that game, but I do remember the atmosphere in the audience. They were not like those crazy football fans who would paint their face and body with logos of their teams. That day, everyone just sat there quietly before the match, and enjoyed the ‘performance’ when the music started. So I guess that’s the beauty of figure skating. From that day, I just became fascinated by this sport.
或者把“友谊第一比赛第二”的精神说出来也OK：
The game was awesome, all the athletes were excellent and I have to say, it was really a feast for the eye. For me, the result is not that important, I mean, I don’t care at all who is the winner. To me, they are all winners. And I guess that’s the beauty of this sport.
