雅思口语里这一季问：a competition you want to take part in你想参加的比赛。如果你知道“城市之间”是个什么节目，那你就会明白我要参加什么比赛了!按照百度上的介绍，它是“一档巨型游戏类节目”，它以群众为基础，以体育为平台，以城市为卖点，参赛者需要挑战各种高难度动作，最后取得胜利。不过我们在答题的时候，不用那么真实的还原这个game show，韩国综艺里也有很多类似的比赛，我们就挑自己会说的环节，随便编个名字，来简要介绍一下就OK了：
There’s a game show in China called Be Brave and Go, which features a series of adventurous games. I’ve always wanted to take part in those competitions, ‘cause it looks so fun and exciting. There are several barriers you need to go through, like you need to keep running on slippery ground, or on a narrow bar, and then you have to pass a spinning plate, and jump onto another board, which is also pretty slippery. In the end, you have to climb a rope, and if you are not careful, you’ll be splashed by water unexpectedly.
Few people could make it to the end, ‘cause like I said, all those facilities are slippery, you’ll always fall down and get eliminated. However, this won’t stop people from signing up for it, ‘cause the prize is so tempting. If you could pass the finish line, you’ll get 10,000 RMB and a free trip to Sanya, which is a popular holiday resort in China.
So you see, that’s why I want to enter this competition. However, this game requires energy, strength, and speed. You need to be strong and agile if you want to win. If I go to that game now, I must be the weakest contestant. So if I really want to take part in this competition, I’d better start working out now.
