　　Topic Card Describe a party that you enjoyed. You should say: whose party it was and what it was celebrating where the party was held and who went to it what people did during the party and explain what you enjoyed about this party.

解題要領 該題要求你描述一次歡樂的聚會(party)。在細節方面，你必須涉及party的主人、賓客、舉辦的地點、人們的活動、以及歡慶的內容等。在解釋部分，你必須講述你喜歡這個party的哪些方面。

完美回答(7-8分) The party I enjoyed most was the one held by my university professor Jeff. He was one of those typical Westerners who were just crazy about parties. The party, which took place in his backyard during one of summer holidays of my college years, was essentially about barbecuing. There were at least 20 people attending the party, including many of my classmates and Jeffs family and friends. It was obvious that everyone was enjoying the party very much: some were toasting beef, lamb and chicken in the oven, some were lying on a deckchair to get tanned in the strong sunlight, some were playing card games and having arguments occasionally, and some were just talking happily about their future plans under the shade of a large oak tree. As to me, the most fascinating thing was being able to share a lot of news stories with so many people in the party and to understand their different perspectives. More enjoyably, I discovered that Jeff and I had a lot more in common than we previously thought, and we discussed a number of interesting topics and agreed with each other on most of them.

　　家庭聚會

　　Question 5 What are the main reasons why people organize family parties in your country?

解題要領 該題問你們國家的人們為什么組織家庭聚會。顯然，這里牽涉到文化習俗方面的東西，因為中國人和西方人舉辦家庭聚會的原因有很大的不同。可以嘗試從一些重大節日的角度切入，特別是中秋節(Mid-Autumn Festival)、端午節(Dragon Boat Festival)、以及春節(Spring Festival)等傳統節日。

完美回答(7-8分) In China, people do not organize family parties as frequently as they do in the West. The idea of having a family party is based on the custom of family reunion on certain public holidays or important festivals during the year. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival is of such great cultural significance that every Chinese family will have a gathering or small party of some sort to celebrate it by honoring the Lunar Goddess, who is believed to have the power to bond all relatives into a closely-knit family.
