又到了雅思口语换题目季，烤鸭们“望眼欲穿”“翘首以盼”最 新题库，新航道雅思口语组收集到了最 新疑似题目P2 “一个让你放松的地方”，我们来一起看看：
Describe a place where you go to relax
You should say
Where this place is
What is the place called
How you got to know this place
And explain what can you do there to relax
资 深烤鸭们，可能发现这个新题比较眼熟。其实，这个话题已经考过多遍，近年该题出现的频次为：
2020年 9-12月/2019年 9-12月 /2017年 1-5月+5-8月
2016年 5-8月 /2015年 9-12月
这个话题简直就是雅思口语的MC（常驻嘉宾）！越是熟悉的题目越要引起重视，我们需要补充细节信息来让描述更加生动自然。既然是一个“让你放松的地方”，那我们在陈述过程中需要多次提到“放松”这个表达，除了“relax”，我们还可以使用一些“同义替换”的的表达：unwind [ˌʌnˈwaɪnd], wind [waɪnd] down, release the pressure（释放压力）, relieve the stress（缓解压力）, switch off （常见的意思为“关掉（电源，带有电源的机器或者水龙头），电子产品停止工作，自动切断电源等）, chill out, loosen up等等。
关于地点类话题，我们第 一步需要说明具体地点信息, 包括名字、方位、地点类型等。“一个让你放松的地方”，我们可以选择某一个“景点”，比如：Yellow Crane Tower 黄鹤楼，也可以说一家小店，例如：a café, the Starbucks，一个公园等等。
Well, the place where I’m able to unwind is a café in my neighborhood called Coffee Bene. It’s not far from my place, only a 10-minute walk. And it’s a really popular place in the surrounding.
积累表达：
a 10-minute walk10分钟的步行
in the neighborhood/ surrounding在附近
那么我是怎么知道这个地方的呢？
我们可以思考Who took you to the place, when did you go there, what did you do in the place, how often do you go there。用5wh相关问题，帮助自己展开思路、补充细节。这里一定要注意使用恰当的时态，既然题干中问的是How you got to know this place，注意题干关键词got to know, 我们就要使用一般过去时来交代与这个地方的“初次相遇”！
I found the place by accident about several months ago. At that time, my friend Lily and I were hanging out on the street. Then the newly opened café attracted our attention, so we walked in and had a nice conversation. After that, I go there almost every month.
积累表达：
by accidentadv. 偶然
hang out v. 闲逛
on the street 在路边
the newly opened café新开的咖啡店
attract one’s attentionv.吸引某人的注意力
而对于最后一个问题And explain what can you do there to relax，你每次去做什么呢？我们可以说一下具体会跟谁去，每次去的活动，以及我们的感受。如果是一家小店，也可以说说里面的氛围、装修风格等等。
Sometimes I just go there by myself. I’d listen to some soothing music and do my schoolwork. At the same time, I usually enjoy a cup of hand-made coffee. And some other times, I would go there with my besties, we just enjoy the afternoon tea, and chat about our daily life every now and then. What else, oh, there are some delectable desserts as well. Whenever there is some new cake or cookies, I’d definitely have a bite.
积累表达：
soothing music n.舒缓的音乐，让人“苏心”的音乐
hand-made coffeen.手磨咖啡
some other times有时候
bestiesn.（plural form）闺蜜，好友，“老铁”
delectableadj.美味的
every now and thenadv.偶尔，时不时
have a bitev.尝一口
what else还有呢？（表示你在思考，然后补充想起来的细节。小本本记下来~（
按照activity这一角度展开，介绍了会去做的事情，我们可以重点说说为什么这个地方可以让人放松呢？这里有没有什么特别的活动，可以品尝咖啡、看书，这里有很多藏书，可以免费借阅。
As for the reasons why I think it’s relaxing, first, I can read various kinds of books here. The place has a big collection of books, like science fiction, autobiography, some magazines and so on. The customers can choose any book they like to go with the soft music here. As a bookworm, it’s really a perfect place for me to kill time and chill out.

接下来我们可以补充其他的原因，可以从vibe氛围着手展开叙述！这个让人放松的地方，我在这里的具体描述你的feeling.
What’s more, the café has a very good vibe, it’s really inviting and welcoming. This is the place where I can immerse myself into study. And I feel refreshed after staying there for a while. It’s a secret place where I can gain some healing power and positive energy, and have my assignments done. I suppose everyone needs a place like this for relaxation.
