如果大家在雅思考试中被考到photo，那么强烈推荐旅行的照片，因为最容易说哇!关于照片的描述，无非就是什么时候在哪里谁拍的;在照片里你在干啥;表情动作如果比较有戏的话也可以作为亮点描述一下;照片里还有什么东西，背景是什么;这个照片对你的意义是什么或者看着这个照片让你回想起哪段经历，等等。
之前我们分享过在玩儿parasailing的时候自拍，不过很多审题认真的小伙伴说让描述的照片得是别人给拍的，而且就想描写个全身照，那我们就把情节稍稍改动一下子，把“自拍”改成“抓拍”吧：
This topic reminds me of the time I was travelling in Thailand. During that trip, we took tons of pictures. The scenery was gorgeous, I mean, the crystal clear ocean, the cloudless sky and everything. The amazing part is that we don’t need to add filters to our pictures ‘cause the colors are already perfect.
Among all the pictures we took from that trip, my favorite one was a snapshot by my mom. It was taken when I was going parasailing. I still remember before I was pulled up into the air, I was so nervous. It was like my heart was in my mouth. And my mom successfully snapped the moment I “took off”. In the picture, I was laughing and crying at the same time, so you can imagine, my facial expression was super hilarious. My eyes were tightly closed, and my mouth was wide open. My hands were holding the ropes firmly. And my coach was up there with me, he was posing the thumb-up to the camera, which is a funny contrast with me.
Another thing I have to mention is that the colors of that picture is really harmonious, I mean, I was there against the cloudless blue sky, the parachute was multi-colored, just like the colors of a rainbow. So I have to admit, my mom really has great photography skills.
So that’s the good picture I’d like to talk about.

说完了照片，别浪费素材，添加一些情节，把整个旅行都描写一下吧，还记得之前嘱咐的不?无论机经怎么办，万能的旅行永远都能派上用场：
I’d like to talk about the trip I took to Thailand.
I went there with my parents last winter. The temperature there at that time of year is super comfortable, I mean, the air was pleasantly humid and warm, the sun was not that dazzling, every day there was gentle breeze.
And the view I saw there was just like the one on a postcard or a screen saver. The ocean is crystal clear, and the sand was soft and warm. I went there during the peak season, so the beach was lousy with people.
The most thrilling thing I did there was parasailing. Actually, I was a little bit afraid of height, but when I saw other people screaming and laughing in the air, I became so curious that I wanted to give it a try myself. At first, before I was pulled up into the air, I was so nervous. However, the moment I “took off”, I was impressed by what I saw, I mean, I could have a bird’s eye view of the whole area, and it was even more splendid from up there. I totally forgot about my fear. That was quite an experience.
Um… at night, when it was getting dark, I saw countless stars in the sky, which is not something I could usually see in the city, because of the light pollution, you know. I was so amazed by the starry sky, and you know what, I even saw a shooting star. My parents and I made a wish on it.
So you see, the whole trip was really memorable.
