雅思口語Part2：遲到

參考答案:

The city I live in has a severe problem of traffic jam and due to that we often get late. One such event when I was late in an important exam was a frustrating experience for me. It was 2 years ago when I was a student of the university. I had an exam at 8.30 am which I thought would be at 9.30 am. I did this mistake because I noted the time wrong in my notebook. I prepared for the exam well and left home at 8.15 am as my usual journey to my university takes around 40 minutes. According to the schedule, I should have reached at least 30 minutes before the exam time.

I already had wrong idea about the exam timing and over it I found that it was raining outside and there were very little transportation available in the road. I had to stand at the bus stoppage for more than 30 minutes before I actually got into a bus. To my surprise, the traffic on the road was very bad. The bug was moving very slowly because of the unavoidable traffic jam. I was hopping desperately to reach the university in time. But that was not my day! I reached at the exam hall at 10.15 am and I was shocked to learn that the exam would end only in 15 minutes. I was so worried and anxious that I could not think clearly what to do.

I felt helpless at that time and was asked the teacher what can I do now. He asked me to come after the exam ends. I followed him as soon as he left the exam room. I noticed that some of my classmates were also looking at me with surprise and were probably thinking how careless I was to miss such an important exam.

After I reach the class exam coordinator’s room, he took me to our advising tutor and asked me to give a good reason why I was late for the exam. I told everything that has happened and the coordinator arranged an exam in his room. As a penalty he deducted 20 minutes from the exam time and asked me to finish the exam and leave the answer sheet to him. I was kind of worried and felt bit relived also. As my preparation was good, I had been able to answer all the questions in the due time. Thus the situation was handled and I was not in a big trouble for the late I made unintentionally.

範文

There was one time when I got really late for an important appointment and nearly missed it. Today, I am going to share with you about that incident.

Two months ago, I sighed up for an IELTS test. My speaking exam was scheduled on June, 13th, 9:00 in the morning. I was supposed to report at the test venue no later than 8:30 am.

Unfortunately, it rained heavily on Sunday evening, right before my test day, and the weather forecast predicted incessant rain for a few days. Considering the bad weather, I set an alarm for 6:00 am and went to bed early. Truth is, I was feeling quite nervous through the whole night and couldn’t sleep well. Despite all that, I managed to wake up on time next morning. After getting everything ready, I left my home to catch the bus. To my surprise, when I arrived at the bus station, no buses or any other commuters were in operation, all stranded due to the bad weather.

It was quite chaotic at the bus station then, since no one knew when the bus service would be back in operation again. And for me, things got even worse, because there were no other means of transportation to reach Peking University, my test venue, from the place where I live. It was 7:50 am and I was still trapped at the bus station. My anxiety was building.

Fortunately, one of the buses started to move at 8:00 am and I rushed onto it without hesitation. However, it took a lot of time, longer than usual, for the bus to take us to Peking University. Guess what, we encountered a head-on collision between a truck and a car on our way there, which caused heavy traffic jam. Yeah, you can see it was definitely not my way.

Finally, I reached the test center at 8:55 am. I explained the situation to the test manager and asked him to put my name back on the list. He was very understanding. Later, I was given the permission to take the test.

Now, whenever I think about this incident, my heart just couldn’t stop beating fast. I guess I’ll just have to be more careful in the future to avoid things like that.

1. Do you (usually) wear a watch (a wrist watch)? (Why?)

· 不戴錶的，用手機!No I have my mobile with me, it’s got a nice watch in it.

· 戴錶的!I know some people say that with mobile phones, the wrist watch is out-dated. I disagree. A quick glimpse at your watch during a meeting or on the production line is a lot better then pulling out your cell phone. I find a watch to still be the most convenient method of time keeping.

· 戴錶的，還戴得挺講究!Yes, and I prefer to wear it on the inside of my wrist. I tend to scratch and otherwise damage watches that I wear on the outside. Wearing them on the inside prevents that.

2. What do you use your watch for?

· 用來計時的!I use it mainly for timing the speed.

· 用來裝飾的!It’s a kind of ornament for me, actually. Wearing a watch has become more of a fashion statement.

· 看時間的。For me, it is always about knowing what time it a reporter, I need to keep track of I do care about have always, since I began wearing a watch at about age eight, chosen styles I like, without regard to what is "in style"...

· 又看時間又講究裝飾的。Part fashion, part convenience for me. I have a Baby-G and it's digital. It's water proof because I don't want to take it off when I shower or go swimming. It also lights up so I can read it at night. It's in a cute style.

3. Do you think time is very important? (Why?)

· 時間是金錢!Time is money. Actually, time is more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained.

· 不要浪費時間!Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by people. Since time is an invisible thing, people often waste their time unconsciously(無意地). Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.

· 時間是寶貴的!Time is important. Time is valuable. Time is precious.

4. Are you ever late for anything?

· 上班遲到的。Yes I had a few times late last week for work, but I didn’t get into big trouble because most of the time I was early.

· 上學遲到想找藉口的。I was late to school about 10 times so far this semester, which is going to screw me out of college.I need to come up for some really good excuses.

· 上學遲到想彌補的。I made some mistakes this year in attendance, I am trying to find out if there’s anything I can do to bring my grade up.

5. Do you think it's important to be on time?

· 絕對守時，遲到丟人!Yes. I always run on time and feel ashamed if I am late to anything. I am not obsessed but feel that if you are invited somewhere you should show the host the respect of being there when invited.. It just seems these days that nobody is on time and running late is the norm.

· 分場合遲到的!No. It has become expected to turn up to an informal event five minutes late, this is what most people do in America. However if punctuality is important for that event then it is considered extremely rude to turn up late.

· 守時是美德，但聚會除外!Punctuality is a virtue. Oh, being late is RUDE, there is no doubt about it. EXCEPT when going to a party -- then it's expected that you arrive a few minutes late. In fact, the host probably WANTS you to arrive a bit late... I know when I'm hosting a party, I'm always running around like crazy doing last minute things (like getting dressed!) and if a guest actually arrives on time, I'm not ready! Be kind, arrive 5 or 10 minutes late...

6. Do you feel that time moves fast or slowly?

· 時間隨年齡增長變快!Age and size make a difference to whether time moves fast or slow. And thats not a matter of perception. The older you are, the faster times moves. Or, the faster you are, the slower time moves.

· 時間比想象的過得快!Daily, I find myself looking back and not being able to remember what happened, or how an event got so far away. A half a year seemed like two seconds. Even when you think time will never passes faster than expected.

· 人生苦短，及時享樂。life is short, its so true. But dont dwell on how much time has past or how fast the future is going to pass, just live you life. if you just live in the moment and have random spontaneous moments it will seem like your life is fuller even if it goes by in a flash.

· 束手無策，用日記記錄時間。I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately we can't stop time, we can only make the most of it. Maybe try keeping a diary of what happens in your life if you are having trouble remembering what's happened. That way you can look back and reminisce on good times:)

7. When do you feel time moves slowly? (Why?)

· 傷心孤獨時度日如年!When I'm alone and/or depressed time moves slowly for slowly. When I'm with my girlfriend/family (sometimes-they can be a pain in the rear ya know?)/friends time moves fast.

· 等待的時候度日如年!I guess it really depends if you are doing something you enjoy or not. Also if you are waiting for something, time will move slow. If you are having a good time and want to cherish that moment and have it last forever-time is slipping by faster then you can blink. Time is never in your favor.

· 兒時等待長大，度日如年。When I was a child, I felt time moves slowly. Because as a child I had so little control over my own destiny, over my own life and i spent a great deal of time waiting for growing up.

8. If you could go back in time, would would you do?

· 不受欺負型!I would not let that boy from school bully mein my youth...i would also crush my self esteem and make it impossible for me to feel love or make new friends for fear of never being good enough..

· 改變歷史型!That's an interesting question. Maybe I would go back and try to change something in history. Or, maybe I'd go back to my history.

· 不想回到過去型!Even if there was a such gs would change in a paralel universto past is history , future is a is why we are living in the present.

· 戒菸戒酒型!I would stay away from alcohol. its my best friend and worst enemy.

· 超級自戀型!I would go back, give my teen self a hug and tell her that she is beautiful, unique and special and that one day she will meet a guy who will love her just the way she is so she should just keep being true to herself and not do dumb things in order to get people to like her.

· 絕不後悔型!I would do the same thing all over proud of what i have done and of my achievements....

· 人生因果論!None. I wouldn't give myself any advice. I am one of those people that believes that everything happens for a reason.I would never want to change anything about my life. Life lessons are important, especially the ones that brought me pain.
