剑桥雅思13出来后，很多同学都积极刷题，为了能第一时间了解更新的题目动向。为配合大家备考复习，朱博老师将剑13的口语话题进行解析，给大家参考思路。
剑13Test4 Part 1 Money
1. When you go shopping, do you prefer to pay for things in cash or by card?
真的很久很久没有摸过现金也没带过钱包了……
Well, actually, neither of them. I haven’t paid anything in cash or by card ever since the advent of online payment platform. It’s just so convenient, you know. I just need to use my phone to scan the QR code, and the payment is done. It saves me the trouble of taking a wallet with me when I go out.
advent: …的出现，…的到来
QR code: 快速反应码，二维码
2. Do you ever save money to buy special things?
Um… yeah, sometimes, especially when the thing I wanna buy is pretty pricey. I remember once, I had my eye on a pair of high-heels, but after I checked the price tag, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s almost half of my salary.’ So I just had to save up a little for it.
have one’s eye on something: 看上…想买
price tag: 价签
3. Would you ever take a job which had low pay?
That really depends. I mean, right now, I definitely wouldn’t, ‘cause I could barely make ends meet. I have to pay rent, support my family and things like that. However, someday in the future, if money is no object for me, maybe I’ll do some low-paid jobs, or even some voluntary work, just for personal enrichment.
make ends meet: 收支相抵
money is no object: 不差钱
4. Would winning a lot of money make a big difference to your life?
Yeah, definitely. I always imagine what my life would be like if I became a billionaire, which is why I buy lottery tickets all the time hoping to win the jackpot. That way, I wouldn’t have to be tied to my work and I would have more time and money for my hobbies.
win the jackpot: 中头奖
