新一代的孩子们，音乐技能简直满分!从小就被逼着参加各种乐器补习班，练就了一身参加各种音乐演奏会的本领。所以雅思口语里skill话题，大家就可以实话实说，把当年是如何练习绝技的历史讲给考官，顺便也可以聊聊这项技能给我们带来的benefits.
The skill I learned is how to play the piano.
I’m really grateful to my mom for taking me to piano lessons when I was young. Although back then, I was not willing to take the lesson, ‘cause it was pretty boring and I had to spend hours sitting in front of the piano. When other kids were outside playing, I was forced to stay at home, practicing one song over and over again. But it turned out, all of my hard work has paid off. I mean, because of this skill, I always got invited to perform in ceremonies and art shows. I’m quite popular in my school, and I have many fans. All my friends are so jealous of me.
Um… my idol is Langlang, who’s the most accomplished pianist in China. I think a boy who can play the piano is super cool.
And another benefit is, my fingers have become quite nimble, which is really useful when I’m playing video games. I’m like unbeatable, and I always lead my team to victory.
On top of that, I could feel that playing piano has developed my artistic skills and built my willpower. During the learning process, I understood the importance of perseverance. This spirit also applies to our life. No matter how hard it seems, we shouldn’t be a quitter.
