问题     Individual Long Turn
    Now, I’m going to give you a topic and I’d like you to talk about it for one to two minutes. Before you talk, you’ll have one minute to think about what you’re going to say. You can make some notes if you wish. Do you understand?
    Here’s some paper and a pencil for making notes and here’s your topic:
    I’d like you to describe a break you took.
    Describe a break you took recently to relax from work or study.
    You should say:
    why you needed a break
    what you did to relax
    how you felt before and after taking the break and say whether or not you felt relaxed afterwards or not.
    Rounding off questions:
    Do you often take breaks?
    Do you generally find it easy or difficult to relax?
选项
答案 I find that I have to take a lot of breaks from study because I get distracted so easily. I can only concentrate for relatively short, intense periods of study. Anyway, I’m going to talk about a time more recently when I was studying for my mid-year examinations. The examinations are quite important because they give you an idea of how well you know the material, and whether or not you are on track for achieving a good grade for the year’s work. So although the marks only represent a small proportion of the overall grade, I think it is important mentally to feel as though you are on top of things. So, I was studying quite hard actually, every day and the weather was very hot outside, but I kept studying and every day one of my friends would call me and say, "hey, we’re going to the beach today, do you want to come?" Or, "we’re going away to the Coast for the weekend to go surfing, you should come with us" and every time I had to say no, I’m sorry I can’t, because I have to study. So I was being very good and staying focused. Until finally, I think it was about a week away from my exams and I was starting to feel really restless and frustrated, when I heard that an old friend of mine was back in town from abroad. Well, he called me up and what could I say? I really wanted to catch up with him because it had been ages since we’d hung out together and he was only in town for a couple of days! So of course I put my study on hold and we went out with a whole bunch of friends and had a great night. Of course I felt slightly guilty the next day, but then I got straight back into the books and the good news is that I felt much more focused and able to absorb the material, so I think in the end it was more productive, for me anyway, to take some time out and then return to the studying. It helped me to clear my head and study more effectively. But I have to be really firm with myself on occasion as I am easily tempted to procrastinate and run out of time! In this case it worked for me as in the end I got straight As on all my exams.
    Yes, I take a lot of little breaks while I’m studying for a test.
    I find it pretty easy actually because I’m quite laidback to begin with.
