雅思口語(yǔ)話題：Describe a TV series or drama you enjoy watching

You should say:

What it is

What it’s about

When did you first watched it

And explain why you like watching it

以往這一類題目是要求描述電視節(jié)目或者電影, 這一次是電視劇哦, 雖然只是變換了一下類別,但是針對(duì)電視劇, 表達(dá)上還是有一些不同的, 例如有一季(season), 一集(episode), 描述上故事也會(huì)更豐富, 對(duì)觀眾的影響也會(huì)由于整個(gè)故事發(fā)展有一些起伏.

以下的解析是選用了最近筆者很喜歡的看的一部美劇:13個(gè)原因(13 reasons why)來(lái)展開(kāi)的, 分為兩個(gè)sample供大家參考

Sample1: band 7

Okay, I’d like to share with you a TV series I’ve been watching these days called 13 reasons why.

It’s like, em, last month, I got instantly intrigued(吸引) by a recommendation from a famous blogger(博主), saying this show was rated 8.8 out of 10on IMDB(打分高達(dá)8.8. *IMDB類似美國(guó)豆瓣). Then, for the past month, I quickly finished the whole season(季), 13 episodes(集). Actually, this TV drama is basedon a best-selling book(暢銷書), depicting(刻畫) a story after teenager ClayJensen found a mysterious box with his name on. Inside he discovered a group of cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker-his classmate who tragicallycommitted suicide(自殺) several weeks earlier. On these tapes,Hannah unfolded(展開(kāi)/呈現(xiàn)) an emotional audio diary(有聲日記), detailing the thirteenreasons why she decided to end her life.

I guess the reason why I quite enjoy this teen series (青少年電視劇) is, to my surprise, it made me think a lot about life, about how our different behaviors may cause negative effects to others we interact with. Seeing Hannah suffering fromconfusion and desperation(迷茫和絕望) the whole time, I really hope someone like her classmates or parents couldgive her a helping hand(幫助她). Sadly, nobody read her mind(了解她的心思) successfully and chose to leave her alone when she said so. I know somehow it’s also Hannah herself who pushed away those who wanted to be close to her.

Anyway, I have to say committing suicide is a super recklessdecision(輕率的決定). Just like one guy inthe show said: suicide is for the weak. Instead of hiding or ignoring the problem, the better way to deal with depression is to go get help from others, telling them directly what you’re really experiencing.

Hopefully, this show could give us some insights(給我們一些啟示) into cracking many of the problems(解決問(wèn)題) that high schoolers(高中生) are facing, like suicide, school bullying(校園霸凌), drug abuse(毒品), and etc.

Sample 2: band 6

Okay, let me say sth. about a TV series Ienjoy watching recently called 13 reasons why. It’s highly recommended(力薦) online so I started to watch it last month.

Generally, it describes a story about teenager Clay Jensen found a box at home. In it, there’re some tapes recorded by HannahBaker-his classmate who committed suicide(自殺)about several weeks earlier. On thesetapes, it’s the thirteen reasons why Hannah decided to kill herself.

Talking about the reasons why I enjoy thisshow so mush, first, my favorite pop singer Selena Gomez works as theproducer(制片人) of this show. I guess it’s thefirst time she works as a producer of a TV drama instead of an actress. So, asa fan, of course I need to support her. Not to mention, itenjoys a very good reputation(口碑很好) both in America and here in China.

More importantly, I’ve keen on(喜歡) teen series for the whole time ever since high school, so this show is just my cup of tea(是我的菜). But the difference is this one discusses some very serious issues like suicide and school bullying. I think it’s not only for young people to watch but everyone, even parents, inorder to prevent teenagers from killing themselves so easily because of these problems they meet in school.
