雅思口語話題:two people from the same family

08-30

看到 two people from the same family 這個雅思口語話題,我們的選擇可以有很多哦,例如姐妹,可以參照大 S 小 S,例如夫妻,可以參照娛樂圈內的模范夫妻,例如父子,可以參考 Will Smith 和 Jaden Smith,等等。這裡舉明星的例子隻是想說明,隻要兩個人都比較有聊頭,這道題簡直就是送分題 ! 因為平時都是兩分鐘介紹一個人,這次是兩分鐘聊兩個人,還不簡單麼 !

如果兩個人的對比很明顯,那就更容易瞭 ! 所以,我們可以人為的造出來一對兒性格迥然的 twins,剩下的人物設定,大傢就可以自由發揮瞭:

I ’ d like to talk about my cousins who are identical twins. Although they look exactly the same, they have completely different characteristics.

And it ’ s kind of weird you know, ‘ cause both of their parents, I mean, my uncle and my aunt, are super nice people, and they say apple doesn ’ t fall far from the tree, but that ’ s not the case in this family, one of the apples did fall far from the tree.

I mean, the older one is such a sweet boy. He ’ s only a high school student, but he ’ s so mature and thoughtful. For example, once when they were redecorating their apartment, he gave each of his neighbors a mini speaker. He explained to them, they could block out the noise using the speaker.

The other one, however, is really a pain the ass, a super troublemaker, to be exact. Breaking rules is his forte, and he always gets into trouble at school. He loves to pick a fight with others, and sometimes he could even be a bully. His parents are constantly called into the principal ’ s office. They really don ’ t know what to do with him.

So you see, it ’ s funny how twins that grow up under the same roof could have such contrasting personalities.
