解题思路：

本题要求介绍一个你外出但没花什么钱的特殊经历。比如，可以讲做了一些开销比较小的活动，如散步，爬山，坐公交出远门，在城市或商场里漫无目的的闲逛等等，也可以讲有人帮你付了钱，所以你没花什么钱的经历，如过生日朋友家人请客吃饭，免费获得了一张活动的门票等等。前两题为故事背景，介绍何时何地，可补充跟谁一起做了什么·第三题为花费了多少钱，除了介绍具体数额，可以补充说明为什么花的不多·最后一题介绍你的感受，是玩得开心，还是无聊，还是心酸自己钱不多等等。注意整体时态为一般过去时。

Sample Answer 1：

I'd like to introduce a special day out that didn't cost me much money.It was the year when I was a senior student at university. We were about to graduate and leave the place we spent almost four years in, so my friend and I decided to explore the campus a bit more before we left, especially the parts we barely visited.

First, we went to the school canteen at the other end of the university. We seldom went there since it was quite far from our dormitory and teaching buildings that we routinely went to. To our surprise, the food there was even cheaper than the one we usually had. I guess it was because the manager wanted to attract more customers. Then, after the delicious meal, we decided to take a stroll around the lake to help us digest. I remember, the evening breeze was so cool and comfortable. We took a lot of photos of each other and the beautiful sunset.

Therefore, I didn't spend much money that day. If my memory serves me right, I only spent fifteen yuan in total, cause as I just mentioned, the food in the school canteen was so cheap. Besides, taking a walk didn't cost a penny.

Regarding how I felt, well, it was an enjoyable day for me, since we had a look around the campus before we graduated. It was amazing to still find somewhere new in a place we were so familiar with, but at the same time, it was sad to say goodbye to the colorful campus life in a month. All in all, it was a memorable day.

Sample Answer 2：

Well, speaking of this experience，I'd like to say something about an outing we went on almost two months ago.

Well, as you know, since the pandemic it had been a long while since me and my friend went out together. We were almost used to sticking around indoor or staring at the screen for hours day, so ever since my friend Amy proposed this idea, we had been super thrilled!

We went into this newly opened family-run restaurant which was incredibly welcoming and inviting. And the owner was a nice gentleman with a smiley face and fabulous culinary skills! As I mentioned, we hadn't seen each other face to face for centuries, it was really nice to catch up with my old pals. For what's worth, compared to the fancy Michelin restaurant, this little deli was very much cozier and comfier with quite reasonable price as well as good quality.

To my surprise, we were even invited to give opinions about how the food was cooked 100% according to our preference, you can even bring some raw materials on your own cuz the owner was so generous and considerate, obviously, this is not a place just for maximizing the profit!

Eventually, this tiny little dinner party didn't end until midnight, here came the highlight moment, when we asked for the check, the owner Paul gave us a big discount, for almost 30% off! Just because we reminded him of the family gathering he used to have. Honestly, we did have a blast there!

This experience has been curved deep in my heart, it didn't cost so much, but this is the most precious one for nothing expensive would hold a candle to the time with old mates!

Question：Do people like to spend their leisure time out in your country?

解题思路 :

这是一道典型的事实观点类题目。在解答时学生可以考虑使用，提出观点列举事实例子，然后对该事实带来的积极或消极影响，进行进一步的阐释说明。也可以考虑，分情况进行讨论，例如疫情之前或者疫情之后，年轻人或老年人，男性女性间不同的选择进行阐述。

Sample answer:

Well, it depends. I think there are many types of outdoor entertainment activities out there for people to choose in my country such as running, cycling, jogging outside. People also enjoy spending their leisure time in a park to catch up with their friends, enjoy the warm sunshine, appreciate birds or even have a picnic. While indoor activities are getting more and more popular these days, like board games or card games. For those who are office workers, maybe they just prefer staying at home and doing nothing.

Question： How do people spend their leisure time in your country?

解题思路 :

这是一道非常典型的事实列举类题目，由于每个人群每个个体之间对于休闲活动的选择不同，这里推荐同学们列举2~3个人群，除了说出他们喜欢的类型以外，也可以尝试总结其特点，例如年轻人可能更喜欢科技网络相关的休闲活动，而老年人可能更加倾向于传统、或更，面对面的休闲方式。

Sample answer:

In China, nowadays, people prefer some indoor activities such as going to the karaoke or just staying at home browsing shopping sites and social media websites like Tik Tok or Instagram. Due the fact that people nowadays are under heavy workload, they need ways to help them release their destructive emotions like depression. People can get refreshed and energetic after doing these activities.

Question： How does technology affect the way people spend their leisure time?

解题思路 :

这是一道影响类的题目，影响可以分为正面影响或负面影响这道题目并没有对导向性有非常明确的要求，因此考生在作答时从两个方面说都可以。但-定要注意扣题的必要性，例如题目当中提到了科技建议，学生不要单纯的只用technology进行覆盖，可以尝试提出与科技相关的一些表达，例如AI·VRbig·data等带来的影响。

Sample answer:

Technology have greatly influenced the way people spend their leisure time. In the past, people preferred some outdoor sports such as skydiving, and other extreme sports. However, people began to prefer all entertainment activities related to electronic gadgets today with the influence of technological products. For example, people started to socialize online, play online games and even watch sport games on the internet. The reason why this is happening is mostly due the pandemic situation. Thanks to the technology, people can now enjoy the convenience of the times.

Question： Do you think only old people have time for leisure?

解题思路 :

这是一道典型的观点类题目，学生作答是否都可以，但需要特别关注only的扣题和阐述，因此也有一点对比比较类题目的倾向性，例如学生可以说同意该观点，但要特别明确指出为什么只有老年人会去这样做年轻人，没有时间进行leisure:activity的原因是什么。

Sample answer:

Admittedly, yes. For the fact that young people like students and office workers are under heavy workload. They need to spend most of their time dealing with schoolwork, catching up the tight deadlines, and working for extra hours. Young people barely have vacations except for holidays like Thanksgiving. However, people over age 65 are usually retired and have the right to enjoy their lives. They start to enjoy the benefits of the social welfare like pensions.
