今天我为大家挑选了一道旧题来做讲解—《想再去一次的城市》，虽为旧题，但它被问到的频率依旧很高。同时，在上课过程我也发现很多同学觉得这道题有难度，但在我看来，所有的难度点都是因为思维太过于呆板造成的。
Describe a city you have visited and want to go back to in the future
You should say:
• Which city it is
• Where it is
• What you did there
• And explain why you want to go back
为什么我会说大家的思维呆板呢？因为多数同学看到这道题就会把自己代入游客的身份，紧接着就会用游客的身份来完成整一个话题。这么以来，你的内容很无趣，第二你的表达也会存在一定难度。为此，在解题前，我们先来思考一下你可以以怎样的身份去到一个城市：
• 学生
你可能是以学生的身份去到一个城市的。既然如此，去到这个城市的主要目的还是学习或者考试。
• 工作者
你可能是以工作者的身份去到这个城市，为此，你去这个城市的主要目的还是以工作为主，比如：见客户或者开会等。
• 活动参与者
你可能是以活动参与者的身份去到这个城市，你可以为了某一项活动专门去到这个城市，而不是因为这个城市而专门安排的一次旅行，比如：参加周杰伦的演唱会、参加摄影展等。
按以上三种身份来思考整道题，它的难度已经可以降掉2颗星。你一定会说我哪来的自信，可能我的自信点就在于多数人的旅行都鲜有记忆点，所以聊旅行不如聊学习来的更为简单。
有了以上的思考方向，我们就可以具体来聊聊每一个小问题的拓展方向。
01Which city it is
鉴于“location”被放在了话题的第二个小问题，我们需要挑选其他和城市相关的角度来拓展小问。和城市相关的角度有很多，我挑选了一些来供大家参考：
• Culture 文化
一个城市的文化包含有“饮食、服饰、艺术、语言等”，我们可以从文化着手来阐述一个城市受欢迎的原因。
Example ：
The city that comes to mind is St.Petersburg, a famous city in Russia. It is well-known for its opera. Every year, a great number of opera enthusiasts 歌剧爱好者 go there to experience the culture.
• Name 名字
和人一样，一个城市也有自己的名字。除了的名字外，它还有曾用名或者别称。为此，我们可以额外给出这个城市别称的含义。
Example ：
Lhasa is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited and want to go back to in the future. It is also called “the City of Sunshine”, because it has many hours of daylight.
• History 历史
一个城市也具备历史，它可能年轻，也有可能历史悠久。
Example ：
I am going to talk about Hangzhou, one of the most beautiful cities in my country. It has a long history and dates back about 8000 years. During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the capital city.
• Scale 规模
城市的规模可以和人口进行匹配。它们可以正相关（城市小人口少），也可以逆相关（城市小人口却很多）。
Example ：
A beautiful city that comes to mind is Linxia city which is a part of the Gansu province. It is recognized as the smallest city in my country and there are only about 400,000 residents.
• How you know about it 你怎么知道的
这个角度我会重点推荐，毕竟可以容易拓展。你可以聊一聊你最开始是怎么知道这个城市的以及你上次去是什么时候。
Example ：
The city that comes to mind is Paris. I hadn't heard about it until I was in high school. I clearly remember we read an article about the city in one of our geography classes. It said it was one of the most beautiful places in the world and everyone should visit it someday. It really triggered my curiosity 引起好奇心. Then I searched for more information online. Finally, I visited it last summer holiday and had an unforgettable journey.
02Where it is
针对这个小问题，多数同学给出的回答较为精简。如果只是单纯给出地点，我们就真的只需要说明它的“位置、相对位置以及怎么过去”即可。但当它出现在第二小问时，我觉得这样的回答略显单薄，为此我们需要给它加料。
你可以试想一下，“location”会和哪些城市类的角度产生关联性？
• Climate 气候
地理位置和气候有着紧密的联系，并且多数都是正相关，比如：圣彼得堡在较高的纬度，所以入冬时间也会比其他地方早。
Example ：
St.Petersburg is in the east of Russia, far from here, so it is a really tough journey and it takes about 11 hours to get there by plane. Because of its high latitude 纬度, it starts getting cold and chilly in July. I remember the last time I visited was in August. I was wearing a short t-shirt when I left China but quickly had to change into a thick coat when I landed in Russia.
• Weather 天气
不同的地理位置也会形成某一典型的天气，比如：舟山台风天显著等。
Example ：
Zhoushan is in the east of China, very close to Hangzhou and only 3 hours away by car. It’s a coastal city, so every year, many typhoons land in the city.
• Natural disaster 自然灾害
地理位置也会带来某一些自然灾害，比如：日本位于板块交界处，地震频发等。
Example ：
Tokyo is in the west of Japan, not far from here and it only takes about 2 hours to get there by plane. Due to its location, it is prone to 易于 earthquakes. Every year, there are over 100 earthquakes.
03What you did there
正如我在文章最开始所说，多数人思考这道题的时候是以游客的身份来编写答案的。为此，第三小问的回答也基本和“吃喝玩乐”有关。
Example ：
I experienced its lively nightlife, as there are numerous pubs and clubs which are open all night. Normally, I don’t get to go to places like these, so it was really fun. I also met lots of new people there and we chatted all night.
They told me interesting things to do in the city and told me about all the best places to go for food.
可偏偏“吃喝玩乐”本身的拓展就存在难度，如果你想要给出更为细节的阐述就会变得尤为不易。可如果你的身份转变为了学生、工作者或活动参与者，你们的答题重心就会从城市转移到你自己身上。
• 如果你选择是以学生的身份去到某个城市，你可能是去参加课程也有可能是去考试，接着你就需要从课程和考试着手来做进一步的拓展。
Example one：
I went to attend a week-long workshop about stage performance. It was at a top-notch 的 university in the city. Every day we had a busy schedule and I had to get up at the crack of dawn 早起.
In spite of that, I still managed to watch a stage performance 舞台剧 at the National Theatre every day without fail 绝无例外. I clearly remember one performance I watched was from China. I felt proud watching it and loved that fact that Chinese Culture was being expressed through Opera in a completely different part of the world.
Example two：
I went to take part in an international math competition which was organized by Cambridge University. It was an intense 高强度的 competition and also very important to me. Even though I arrived two days early, I didn’t go exploring, I just stayed in the hotel and devoted all my time to practicing.
But on the last day, when I finally finished my competition, I hung out with my teammates and we had a slap-up dinner 大餐in a five-star restaurant. As the restaurant is next to a big lake, we had a very relaxing meal.
• 如果你选择是以活动参与者身份去到一个城市的，你就可以重点介绍这个活动，同时再带上除了活动以外，你干过的其他事情。
Example ：
The main reason I went was to take part in the Hangzhou International Marathon. It was a wonderful experience and I got to see some amazing scenery while running.
I also got to taste the most delicious Hangzhou cuisine, for example, Dongpo pork, Beggar's chicken, fried shrimps with Longjing tea, and West Lake fish. They are the most popular dishes in the city and my friend highly recommended them to me before I went.
04Why you want to go back
至于为什么想要再次去某个城市，我觉得理由大致有这么两块：
• 想要再次体验
可能是上次去，你体验到了哪些有意思的事情。因为你意犹未尽，所以你想要再次去，比如：当地的艺术、当地的美食、当地的人等。
Example one：
The reason why I want to go back is I want to learn more about Opera. China and Russia have a long history when it comes to Opera and I want to learn as much as I can about it. And hopefully, one day I can contribute in some way. My dream is to become one of the most famous Opera singers in China.
Example two：
I would like to go back as my money goes so much further 钱用的更久 there compared to other cities. The accommodation is a fraction of the price 便宜 and the places are nice. The food is not only delicious, but it is also cheap as chips 便宜 so you can eat well on a budget.
• 为了弥补遗憾
可能上一次的旅行不是很完美，或者因为行程太赶没有体验太多，也有可能是因为上次去了之后发现这个城市有更为有趣的点，所以想要再去一次。
Example one：
The reason why I want to go back is that I want to see more of the city. The last time I went, everything was rushed, I didn’t even have time to look around properly.
When I got home, my mum told me that the city had the most delicious food and some of the most stunning tourist attractions. So if I get another chance, I would like to go for at least a week so I get to see and do everything I missed last time
Example two：
I really want to go back as it is such a great place to go and practice my English in an authentic way. The last time I went I realized that the city is a magnet for 吸引 students who want to become English teachers. There are lots of excellent classes and they cost a fraction of the price of lessons in China.
Example three：
I want to go back because the last time I went the weather was terrible and put a stop to a lot of the things I wanted to see and do. I had to cancel most of the day trips I had planned and I spent way too long stuck in the hotel. This time, however, I will go back during the summer months so the rain won't spoil my trip.
