有趣的外国人
Describe a foreign person who you have heard or known that you think is interesting
You should say:
Who the person is How you knew him/her
What kind of person he/she is
and explain why you think he/she is interesting.
题目解析:
本题是一道人物类话题:描述一个你认识或者听说过的有意思的外国人。描述对象为“一个外国人”,所具备的特质是 interesting,也就是与众不同。所以在描述时要重点刻画这个人物与其他人的不同之处。在语言方面,描述时所使用的主体时态为一般现在时,但是在交代如何知道或者认识这个人物的时候需要使用一般过去时。此外,要注意有意识地增加形容词的使用,也要注意用其他的表达去替换 interesting 这个比较常用的表达。

Sample Answer:
Well, I'd like to talk about John Wilson, a film director in New York. I didn't know him until I watched his docuseries named How to with John Wilson this summer. And you can see an image of him just on the poster, a man wearing a flannel jacket and glasses with thick frames with a camera in hand.
I got to know him from a movie review, which recommended his work as a darkly funny, but profound record of people’s lives in New York. I had a glance at the main theme which features things like how to start a small talk, how to cover your furniture, and things alike. This is something that I've never watched before, so it sort of grabbed me immediately.
According to some interviews I read, Wilson likes wandering about the city and shooting nonstop on the streets, to capture all the stuff which would fade into insignificance.
I think he is one of a kind. Firstly, he’s a keen observer of life, I mean, he pointed his camera to trivial stuff in city life, like the scaffolders above our head, which are mostly ignored by city dwellers. On top of that, he’ s full of curiosity towards everything, I guess that’s something that drove him to explore the city deeply and interact with New Yorkers from all walks of life, and that’s also the part that kept me on the edge of my seat. I wouldn’t have expected to see how he followed a bunch of referees to check if they are the fairest people in life and how hard he strived to make a perfect risotto to his landlady during the pandemic. In short, he’ s shown me a New York City from an unlikely but very unique perspective.
