在看到雅思口语里magazine这个话题的时候,不禁联想到了之前的一个考题:website。如果这个网站仅仅提供information或者news,没有跟user之前的即时互动,那么我们完全就可以把之前website的内容搬过来了!例如电影资讯网:介绍最新电影资讯、花絮照片、幕后采访、影星介绍、观众影评等等;美食网:介绍各地美食、烹饪法、厨艺秘籍、名厨访谈等等;旅行资讯网:介绍各地名胜古迹旅游景点、旅行攻略、照片欣赏、拍摄技巧贴士等等。而且可以随杂志赠送优惠券,用来买电影票、饭店买单或景点门票打折。
所以,如果平时真的不看杂志,也不用担心,自己造一个就好了:
My favorite magazine is called Traveller(只是个虚构的杂志名). If you are a big fan of travelling, you definitely need to subscribe to it.
This magazine is like a handy tool when you are having a trip, ‘cause it offers countless travel tips.
Every issue has several columns, it recommends the fanciest restaurants across the globe, the most amazing tourist attractions, the most convenient means of transport and the greatest hotels, it even gives you tips about how to take a perfect picture.
In the food column, this magazine wants everyone to find a restaurant that can suit their taste. You can find the place you want to go according to the style of the restaurant and the flavors it offers. If you buy this magazine, you can use the coupons in it to enjoy a discount and get a small gift.
This magazine has quite a few pages of pictures taken by professional photographers around the world. When you see those pictures, you would just be like, ‘Wow! I want to go there as well!’ or ‘That’s the place where I want to spend the rest of my life.’ Even if you can’t afford the trip, you’ll have this sense of satisfaction just by watching the photos.
What I like most about this magazine is that I can learn a few tricks about taking pictures. For example, it teaches you how to make people in your photo look taller and thinner by adjusting the angle and the layout.
So that’s why it’s my favorite magazine.
