见到自己的idol一定是个不寻常的体验,不过看个演唱会的花销貌似不少,除非是别人送你门票还包机包吃包住。签售会可能就不太一样了,尤其是你最钟爱的作家到你呆的城市开了场签售会,那完全就不用花几个银子嘛。很多到过现场的小朋友回忆说,买本书就可以跟偶像握手拥抱合影要签名,简直太划算了!所以,雅思口语里问 A special day you went out but didn't spend much money就有了!
I’d like to talk about the time I went to a meet-and-greet session arranged by my favorite author’s publisher. That day was pretty memorable, and the best part is, I didn’t need to spend much money to attend this event, ‘cause all I had to do was to buy the book, which cost me only 30 RMB or so.
The event was held in the biggest bookstore in my hometown, and that day, the bookstore was packed with countless adoring fans. My friends and I stood in line for almost an hour before we could see her. She walked in with the screams of fans. I was so excited because I finally saw my idol in person. She was more gorgeous in person than she was in pictures, I mean, she’s already in her 30s, but she doesn’t look her age at all.
Before she started to sign our books, she talked about the inspiration of her new book, and how grateful she was to us for our support. And in the Q&A session, she was really humorous. Besides, her killer smile was so charming. She also talked about her future plans. She said she wanted to adapt her books for television. I was really looking forward to that.
That day, I got her autograph, we hugged, and we took a picture together. That was a really special day for me, and it didn’t cost me much.
