雅思口语话题解析：A Childhood Song

　　A Childhood Song

　　Describe a song that you remember from your childhood.

　　You should say:

　　 when and where you learned it

　　 how you learned this song

　　 what the song is about

　　and explain how you felt when you used to sing this song.

　　要描述好这个话题卡，考生需要注意以下几个点：

　　1. 歌曲的名字不需要太过执着。如果你真的听过，可以描述一个真实的外文儿歌，比如《音乐之声》里的《DO-RE-MI》，必然能和考官产生共鸣。如果你没有听过，随便编一个名字就可以了，因为名字并不是考官考察的点。这里我建议大家随意编个名字，毕竟描述考官知道的那些脍炙人口的儿歌，局限性太大，不利于我们自由发挥想象力。

　　2. 歌曲的内容可以是任何关于题材的，冒险、风景、游戏、家庭。大家可以自由发挥。

　　3. 要给考官重点描述一下这首歌当时或现在给你带来什么感觉。这里有很多可说的，比如： 使我高兴cheered me up，使我振作lift me up，重现童年美好时光brings back the good times，甚至至今都使我激动不已still thrills me today.
