雅思口语里问Describe a game (not a sport) you enjoyed when you were a child，小时候在操场上玩儿的幼稚游戏，你还能想起来几个?“丢手绢”?“捉迷藏”?“打老虎”?“跳房子”?哪些游戏规则可以描写的时间长一点儿呢?或者我们回到屋子里玩儿桌游(board game)吧!比如“大富翁”，“跳棋”，“五子棋”…… 如果你感觉可以介绍两分钟，都可以在考试上说起来。不过如果你选了“狼人杀”，估计两分钟不太够用……
这里跟大家分享一个规则非常简单，描述起来也不太像流水账一样的游戏，其实就是高端版“摸瞎胡”：
I’d like to talk about a game called the Traffic Light. It’s actually invented by our PE teacher, and it’s like a warm-up game for us.
Here’s how we play it:
First, we have to randomly select 3 classmates to be the ‘blind people’, and 3 to be the ‘guides’. When the teacher shouts out ‘Green Light’, the rest of us would run around on the playground in any direction, and when we hear ‘Yellow Light’, we have to stop and start to clap our hands, to show the ‘blind people’ whose eyes were closed where we are. And when our teacher says ‘Red Light’, the ‘blind people’ would try to find us with the help of the three ‘guides’. The rules are pretty simple, we can move any part of our body except our feet, and the ‘guides’ can tell the ‘blind people’ to step forward, move backward or go left or right to ‘catch’ us. As you can imagine, when we are playing this game, our postures would be so funny, sometimes our bodies would be twisted in a way that can just make you burst out laughing. And your laughter would give you away so that you’ll be caught and be the blind person in the next round of the game.
It’s my favorite game when I was in primary school, and it’s been a long time since the last time I played it. I really miss the good old days.
