Smile话题又继续被雅思口语保留了一个季度,我们继续绞尽脑汁地思考,在哪里一群人一起smile不会那么奇怪跟诡异。其实这种地方还真不少,最容易想到的就是充满娱乐设施的public place,什么theme park啦,amusement park啦,water park啦什么的,而且这种地方的好处是,一般人都挺多,所以顺带着crowded place的答案也出来了!
下面就以迪士尼乐园为例,看看人们都可以怎么“笑”:
This topic reminds me of the time I saw lots of people smiling when I was visiting Disney Land in Shanghai.
It was last summer vacation, my friends and I took a trip to Shanghai. And we also visited the newly built Disney Land, you know, it’s a huge magnet for tourists, plus, it was during the peak season, we knew there would be countless tourists in the park. In order to save time, we checked the travel tips online, and worked out routes we should follow after we get in.
That day, the whole place was packed, and you can tell from people’s facial expression that everybody was just so excited.
In the middle of the square, there is a spot where people could take pictures with the famous and iconic Disney castle in the background. That’s the place I saw crowds of people smiling to the camera, especially girls. They posed with a sweet smile when they were taking selfies.
At night, some performers in the costumes of classic Disney characters started to dance in circles. And they would invite visitors to join them. So everybody just started to dance and laugh. There was even a band performing for visitors at the corner, the atmosphere was just awesome, you know, the music, the lighting effect and everything. I stood in the front row, although I didn’t turn and look back, I’m pretty sure all the audience were having a huge smile on their faces.
