恐怖的、无法用科学原理解释的灵异事件是很多惊悚片的灵感来源,对待雅思口语里Describe an experience that you were scared这个话题,我们可以介绍一次自己被恐怖片吓尿的经历,比如看《安娜贝尔》啦,《解除好友》啦《咒怨》啦什么的。或者,我们也可以把自己经历的诡异事件跟考官分享一下,要是能成功把考官吓出一身冷汗,你就赢了,哈哈!
I’d like to talk about a scary experience I had the other night.
That day, I just got back from my friend’s birthday party where we drank a lot of beers, so I was a little bit tipsy. And when I got to the gate of my community, I started to dig around in my bag for the key. At that moment, I unconsciously looked back, I don’t know why I did it, I just looked back, and I saw three people standing in a circle, face to face, in the middle of the road under a street lamp. The light was so dim that I couldn’t see them clearly, they were just shadowy figures, you know. At that time, I didn’t think too much, I just wanted to go back home soon and use the bathroom because of all the beers I drank.
However, the next day, when I went outside, I realized things were a little bit creepy, ‘cause in the daytime, I could see clearly there was no street lamp in the place that I mentioned earlier. I just freaked out, you know. I swear I saw three people under the lamp, it couldn't be false memory, I was not drunk, I was not even light-headed, I mean, I was thinking clearly at that moment.
Actually I don’t believe there’s such thing as ghosts, but I guess that’s the only explanation for what I saw that night. Whenever I tell this to others, they all think it’s just a ghost story or something I made up, but it’s a true story and it really scared me.
