雅思口語Part 2話題：Interesting Animal
Describe an interesting animal.
You should say:
what animal it is①
where it lives ②
what it looks like③
and explain your feelings about this animal.④
其實(shí)這道題與2007年的Describe a wild animal大同小異，甚至是幾乎不變。僅僅是變了一下臉，就繼續(xù)拿出來作為2008年的新題。其實(shí)還是考察考生對事物題中，動(dòng)物的描述。建議考生在準(zhǔn)備的時(shí)候變通一下，把此題當(dāng)作wild animal來準(zhǔn)備。原因很簡單：有趣的動(dòng)物不一定是野生動(dòng)物，而野生動(dòng)物卻可以很有趣。
The Beauty ---- Mandarin ducks
I happened to meet the Mandarin Ducks over the years in the wild area of Ampere Garden, in ponds along the big drainage. And, Im 100% sure they were not normal Ducks. It was in the wild and free to fly off whenever it wanted to!
The male mandarin duck is way more colorful, his breast is purple with two vertical white bars and the flanks ruddy, with two orange sails at the back. The female is similar to female Wood Duck, all dark green brown. Male Mandarin ducks are considered by many to be the most beautifully colored of all waterfowl.
In China, the mandarin duck is associated as a Chinese weddings symbol, because it symbolizes wedded bliss and fidelity. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: Two mandarin ducks playing in water. Mandarin ducks are always depicted in a pair it is said that if the ducks were separated, they would pine for each other and die of loneliness. Dying of loneliness for love might only be a romantic myth and a cheerful reflection of peoples attitude to reality.
Anyway, I love these lovely creatures; I wish I could raise one.
