Well, I in my life I have tasted so many birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, and marriage cakes. But after reading the word “special cake”, there’s only one cake which I think is special. So here I would talk about it.
好吧，在我的生活中，我已经品尝了那么多的生日蛋糕、周年纪念蛋糕和结婚蛋糕。但是在看了“特别蛋糕”这个词之后，我认为只有一个蛋糕是特别的。这里我要讲一下。
It is a red velvet cake. Red Velvet cake is a red or red-brown layer cake and this cake is usually topped with yummy cream cheese frosting. Unlike normal cakes, this cake has a blood red interior.It'ss common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, cocoa, and flour for the cake, beetroot for the colour.
这是一个红色的天鹅绒蛋糕。红色天鹅绒蛋糕是红色或红褐色的蛋糕，而这个蛋糕通常是美味的奶油芝士糖霜。不像普通的蛋糕，这个蛋糕有血红色的内部。它的常见配料有奶油牛奶、黄油、可可和面粉，还有甜菜的颜色。
As it is commonly served on Christmas or Valentine's Day, So I got chance to taste this cake last year.
因为它通常是在圣诞节或情人节，所以我去年有机会品尝这个蛋糕。
I tasted this cake in a Christmas Party held at Hyatt Hotel in Ludhiana. Overall, it was a Christmas party with lots of fun and games. Hopefully, I would be going there this year also.
我在卢迪亚纳的凯悦酒店举行的圣诞晚会上品尝了这个蛋糕。总的来说，这是一个充满乐趣和游戏的圣诞派对。希望我今年也会去那里。
As I said earlier I tasted this cake in a party, so I had this cake with everyone who was present in the party. No doubt, majority of them were not known to me, but while celebrating, we all enjoyed the party together. I was familiar there with only one person, and that was my friend – Barack Obama.
就像我之前说的，我在一个聚会上品尝了这个蛋糕，所以我和在场的每个人都吃了这个蛋糕。毫无疑问，他们中的大多数人都不认识我，但在庆祝的时候，我们都很享受这个聚会。我在那里只认识一个人，那是我的朋友——巴拉克奥巴马。
Well, I believe this cake is very special. It is because for the first time in my life, I tasted a cake which was red in colour. Moreover, it was 4 tier cake. And interesting this about this cake is that Red velvet cake is colored with beets, instead of artificial food colouring. This cake is also called as “red Waldorf cake,” “red carpet cake,” “red mystery cake,” “flame cake,” and “$300 cake”.
嗯，我相信这个蛋糕很特别。这是因为我有生以来第一次尝到了红色的蛋糕。此外，它是4层蛋糕。有趣的是，这个蛋糕是用甜菜上色的，而不是人造的食用色素。这个蛋糕也被称为“红色的华德沃尔蛋糕”、“红地毯蛋糕”、“红色神秘蛋糕”、“火焰蛋糕”和“300美元蛋糕”。

The idea was put forward by my sister. We planned to surprise him and prepare his favorite foods. On that day, my Mom cooked Pho, a Vietnamese beef noodles, while I baked a birthday cake for him.

雅思口语话题之食物一、关于食材及烹饪方法的表达
要想表达出诱人的食物，食材与烹饪方法的表达是基础。中国的菜名有些比较文艺和隐晦，比如：蚂蚁上树，佛跳墙等，光看字面是难以猜出到底是什么菜的。而西方的表达方法截然不同，他们会明确表达清楚菜的食材及烹饪方法。所以，为了更地道地表达菜名，在口语考试中在考官面前大秀你的词汇积累的话，打好“食材”及“烹饪方法”的词汇基础是关键。下面，让我们一起来看一看相关词汇的整理。
关于肉类：pork(猪肉)、lamb(羊肉)、beef(牛肉)、fish fillet(鱼肉)、steak(牛排)、chicken(鸡肉)
关于豆类：Toufu/bean curd(豆腐)、bean curd sheets(百叶)
关于烹饪方法：
steam(蒸)，例如：steamed eggs(蒸鸡蛋)
braised(红烧)，例如：braised pork(红烧肉)
stir fried(炒)，例如：stir fried liver(炒猪肝)
stew(炖)，例如：stewed pig hoof(炖猪蹄)
二、关于菜名的表达
在雅思口语Part 1中，有个topic关于“cooking”, 其中一些问题是这么问的：“What cooking experience have you had?” 关于这道问题的回答，光光说自己有煮饭的经历会显得很苍白无力，而要是能向考官具体举出一两道自己的拿手菜名，那真真是极好的。再比如，在当前考察的Part2话题中，有一个话题为“Describe a meal you invited others to your home or restraint(请客吃饭)”，考生在表达邀请朋友去自家吃饭或者饭店吃饭的时候，也往往需要涉及到自己的拿手菜，或者某个饭店的特色菜。但是，在考虑到菜名翻译的时候，又让许多考生感到头疼，因为中国的文字博大精深，加上中西文化的差异，许多考生担心自己的中式表达不一定能与考官进行有效的交流。
谈到翻译，的确是一山远比一山高，不同的功力可以表达出不同的境界，不是一句两句就能道出其精髓的。但是，本文旨在为考生们推荐一些实用的菜名翻译方法。在口语表达中，最方便的菜名应该采用写实性命名法，即将菜肴的原料、烹饪方法、菜肴的味、形等翻译出来，让考官一目了然。可以归纳为以下三种公式：
1. 以主料开头的翻译法
这种方法主要是介绍菜肴的主料和辅料，即公式：主料(形状)+with辅料
西方人之所以要将菜肴的材料全部写清楚，是因为有相当一部分人对部分材料有过敏反映，例如，有些人对花生，或者海鲜过敏。所以，在菜名翻译中完全体现所用材料可以让他们避开自己不能食用的菜。
例如：
杏仁鸡丁的翻译为：chicken cubes with almond
番茄炒鸡蛋的翻译：scrambled egg with tomato
2. 以烹饪方法开头的翻译法
这种方法主要是介绍菜肴的烹饪和主料，即公式：烹法+主料(形状)
例如：
软炸里脊翻译为：soft-fried pork fillet
烤乳猪翻译为：roast suckling pig
当然，用这种方法，我们也可以把番茄炒鸡蛋翻译成另外一个版本，也是笔者多年国外留学经历中见到的最常见的翻译，即“stir fried tomato with eggs”。
3. 以人名或者地名作为开头的翻译法
在我们的家常菜中，有一道菜很受欢迎，即“麻婆豆腐”。如果要套用上述主料翻译法的话，这道菜翻译为：stewed beancurd with minced pork in pepper sauce. 如此长且复杂的翻译肯定让许多考生大为苦恼，不过如果用人名或地名开头翻译法的话，这道菜就变成了简简单单的“Ma Po Toufu”了。
例如：
四川水饺可以翻译为：Sichuan boiled dumplings
北京烤鸭可以翻译为：Beijing roast duck
本篇文章从雅思口语关于“吃”的话题为出发点，归纳总结了一些关于食材，烹饪方法以及菜名翻译的三种表达方式。希望引起烤鸭们对食物专题的重视，灵活掌握及表达跟食物相关的话题任务，真正做一名征服考官的“foodie”。

参考范文：
我要告诉你的经历发生在两年前。当时临近大学毕业，我的毕业论文已经通过，而工作还没有开始，比较清闲。我和我最好的朋友决定到青岛去玩。那是个著名的旅游城市，拥有美味的海鲜和温和的气候。
The occasion that I had a special cake was two years ago. It was the last few months of my university. I had completed my dissertation and the job I had found did not start yet. So to kill the spare time, my best friend and I decided to have a travel to Tsingtao, a famous tourist city, with yummy seafood and mild climate.
一天我们逛完海洋馆，正好到了吃晚饭的时候。我们在路边随意找家餐馆进去。点完菜，我无聊开始玩手机。他突然说要出去一下，马上回来。我说好的，我就在这等你。等待的时间有点长，差不多半个小时。当菜已经上齐的时候，他带着个蛋糕回来了。然后我才意识到那天是我的生日。他刚才出去是找蛋糕店去了。
One day, after we finished the tour to the undersea world, it was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, a time for dinner. We randomly picked a restaurant on the street and ordered some local dishes. Then he said he would go out for a moment to make a phone call, as the restaurant was very noisy. I said 'fine, I will just wait here'. It was a long wait, and he did not return until the dishes were served. In his hand, I found a cake. That was when I suddenly realized that that day was my birthday and he had not been out to make a phone call, but to look for a cake shop.
虽然蛋糕是很普通的蛋糕，没有过多的装饰，但它是我吃过的最好吃的蛋糕。我特别感动。我们处于一个陌生的城市，而他还记着我自己已经忘记的生日。它是我们友谊的象征。
It was just a normal cake, with some cream and cereal crisps, and did not have any delicate decorations. But it was the most special and delicious cake I had ever had. We were in a foreign city, exhausted from the trip, but he still remembered my birthday which I had already forgotten. The cake was the symbol of our friendship.

解析：

要求描述你吃到的一种特别的蛋糕，要求描述什么蛋糕，什么时候吃的，和谁一起吃的，以及为什么你觉得这个蛋糕特别特殊。
Last month my best friend Cynthia once went to Paris for a business trip. And she brought me a box of delicate chestnut cake, which I think it’s very special till now. They were hexagon shape cake with rich and fine icing sugar on the top. All side edges were decorated with M&M’s chocolate beans, they were colorful and cute even with tiny smile faces on each topside. They had delicate and smooth taste. The strong fresh chestnut and chocolate fragrance was so tempting. There were all six cakes in the box. Cynthia and I ate them together at the roadside. A homeless cat shared it with us.
I think it’s special till now because I haven’t eaten such authentic chestnut cakes before. Besides that, Cynthia just suffered a failure in a relationship before she went to Paris for a business trip. She was driven to a state of broken-down because of the “jerk”. I tried to comfort her and drop everything. But it’s easier said than done. She was afraid of making mistakes during the business trip but I told her to relax and regarded it as an opportunity for travelling. When she rushed to see me and told me that everything would be fine, she brought me the cake. Desserts are the best solutions to sad girls. The chestnut cakes marked a new start for Cynthia.

范文
I would like to talk about one of my best friends’ birthday party last year, which was an unforgettable occasion to me because of a really special cake.
While I do not have a sweet tooth, most of my friends are big fans of confections. I guess some of them can even be called ‘sweet addicts’. Anyway, that’s why they decided to make a red velvet cake as a birthday gift for Kelly, one of my best friends in high school. Since it was for Kelly, I rolled up my sleeves and gave them a hand despite my limited baking skills.
It took us three days to complete the baking, and the moment Kelly saw the nicely baked cake decorated with flowers, she was totally in awe, since none of us ‘bakers’ was actually a decent cook. The truth is, it was not easy for a group of green hands to get together and try making this work. We first had a big fight over whether we should make Kelly a Choco Lave cake or a red velvet cake. The fight has been on for a whole day and we finally decided to make her the latter because she once said that red velvet cake looked cute. I can’t remember how many times there were when someone accidentally messed up with the eggs, or forgot to take the cake out of the oven. After times of failing, we finally managed to have baked a lovely red velvet cake that smells really nice. The cream was rich and the color was just about right. To be honest, it somehow reminded me of a rose in spring. Well, I guess I was just being too happy about what we had achieved.
On Kelly’s birthday party, we shared the cake with a whole bunch of other guests, and everyone there agreed it was delicious. A bit oversweet though, probably because some of us had put too much sugar in it. In spite of this, Kelly said she loved it as much as she loved us, and the cake was the best birthday gift she ever received. Well, I have to admit that, her words had made it all worthwhile and special.

雅思口语救生圈(MP3+文本) 第12期:遗忘
主要内容：
Describe something important you once forgot to do.
You should say:
what you forgot;
when and where this happened;
why you forgot it;
and explain what the result of your forgetting was.
There was a time that I forgot my camera on the train.
It was about two months ago when I was on my way back from Sanya, a beautiful place where I just had my summer trip. I was quite drowsy when the train arrived at my station. When I heard the train announcement, I quickly grabbed my backpack which was placed on the luggage rack above my head, and got off in a hurry. On my way to the taxi stand, I had this gut feeling that something wasn’t right. All of a sudden, I realized I‘d left my camera on the seat. By the time I rushed back, the train had already left. The result was that I lost it, my beloved camera.
beloved:[only before noun] loved very much
beloved by/of somebody loved very much by somebody; very popular with somebody
I felt so sad, you know, for a second, I really wanted to stick my head into the oven. I couldn’t stop blaming myself for over a month. One of the most obvious consequences was definitely the monetary value. The camera was a state of the art SLR from Canon, I mean, a real pro one. It cost me a fortune. And having lost it meant I had to save for a really long time to get a decent replacement.
Besides, it was not just the monetary value of the camera I cared about, it was also the memories the camera stored. There were so many beautiful photos that the camera captured, like the one I took of the sunset on the mountain, and the one of the rope and chain bridge in the wind. What was worse, I hadn’t got time to transfer the photos of that trip to my computer yet. I lost everything.
This devastating experience told me a lesson – never leave important things unattended. I seriously hope I’ll never be this reckless again.
雅思口语范文：不能遗忘的历史
THE morning sunlight, the panorama from the Shwethaung pagoda, on the highest hill in Mrauk-u, looked magical: lush rice paddy, sparkling lakes and wooded hills, many topped by other glinting gilt pagodas. But in one spot, black smoke was billowing. Another village was burning. From October 22nd-24th Mrauk-u, a tourist centre in Rakhine state in Myanmar, and former capital of the independent kingdom of Arakan, turned into a war zone.
Below the pagoda a spontaneous, medieval army was massing. Hundreds of young men were on the march: packed on the backs of pickups, on motorcycles, on trishaws, tuk-tuks and bicycles, but mostly on foot. They carried spears, swords, cleavers, bamboo staves, slingshots, crossbows and the occasional petrol bomb. Violence between the Buddhist majority and the mostly Muslim Rohingya minority has wracked Rakhine since June. These were angry Buddhists seeking to avenge the deaths of three of their kin, killed, they said, by Muslims. One tugged at an imaginary beard and made a grisly throat-cutting gesture.
days the trouble had spread across Rakhine, a strip of Myanmar's western coastline that borders Bangladesh in the north. The government reported 82 killed, 4,600 houses burned and more than 22,000 people displaced―all almost certainly underestimates. Satellite imagery shows the utter destruction of a Muslim quarter of the coastal town of Kyaukphyu, from where oil-and-gas pipelines are to cross Myanmar to China.
Many of its residents had fled by sea for the state capital, Sittwe, to join some 75,000 others, mostly Rohingyas, who have been confined to squalid camps since June, when the conflict flared up after the rape and murder of a Buddhist woman. A state of emergency was imposed. Sittwe has been under curfew ever since, as now are some other parts of Rakhine. Some blame the central government for fuelling the violence: some ministers made inflammatory statements, perhaps hoping to derail Myanmar's democratic reforms. The need to contain ethnic strife and separatism was long used to justify the army's 50-year dictatorship. Some must mourn its passing.

Describe a timethat you forget something important;
You should say:
When thishappened;

Who you werewith;
And whatconsequences you faced;
Well, what I’vedecided to talk about is the time I forgot to wish happy birthday toone of my friends, which I feel really bad about, not leastbecause he always remembers my birthday.
Anyway, as for when this happened, well I suppose it must have been about threeor four weeks ago, so it wasn’t all that long ago. And basically whathappened was that I was in the middle of preparing for my universityexams, so I had quite a lot on my mind, as you can probably imagine. Andit was only when my friend texted me a few days later that I suddenlyremembered it was his birthday. So I called him straight away and wished him abelated happy birthday, coz you know, “better late than never”!And hewas really good about it, you know, he told me not to worry, and said that birthdaysare no big deal, so he wasn’t fussed about it. But as I said earlier, Istill felt pretty bad about it, and so I told him I’d try to make it up tohim somehow.So yeah, I guess that’s pretty much all there is to sayreally, and hopefully in the future, I’ll get better at rememberingpeoples’ birthdays!

人在一个陌生的地方，这种友谊让我消除了了孤独和思乡
living in a strange place, like this ridiculous city, I was lonely and there was hole deep deep inside. But Sherry is like Angel, brings light into my shadow of darkness of my life. Her friendship help me kill loneliness and homesick.
哦，看来我扯远了

一首我喜欢的歌曲是来自于周华健的朋友。周华健是90年代的一位非常出名的中国歌手，到现在也很受欢迎。这首歌是关于友谊的。就像歌曲里唱到的那样，朋友一生一起走。
A favorite song of mine is Pengyou, which is from Zhou Huajian, who was a very well-known Chinese singer in the 90s and still is. This song is all about friendship. Just like the lyrics said, friends, we walk together always.
我不太记得我第一次听这首歌是什么时候了。但绝对是很久远的事情了，大概是在我上小学的时候?我第一次听到这首歌的时候，我就被这首歌给迷住了，尤其是它的旋律和还有歌词。那个时候我从未听过如此纯净有积极向上的歌曲。那个时候还有一首叫同一首歌，也是很出名，但是在我心中还是这首歌曲最完美。
I can’t remember when I listened to this song for the first time. It was definitely very long time ago, maybe when I was in the primary school? The moment I heard the song, I was kind of fascinated by the rhythm and the lyrics. Never had I heard such a pure and positive song at that time. Another song that also made me feel good was called TONGYISHOUGE, but you know it’s not as perfect as this one in my mind.
我在备战高考的时候压力特别大，这压力来自于我的家人还有我身边的同龄人。那个时候正是这首歌让我坚持了下来。所以，我认为我喜欢这首歌曲的原因就是因为教会了我如何变得更加积极向上，我并不孤独，我什么还有很多朋友支持着我。
During the preparation for the college entrance exam, I got extremely stressful because of the burden I had from both of my family and my peers. It was this song that really helped me stick to it. This article is from Laokaoya website. Do not copy or repost it. So, I think the reason why I love this song so much is that this song teaches how to become positive and let me know that I was not alone, I’ve got my friends who would stand by my side always.
现在在中国我们有很多年轻有才华的歌手，比如TFBoys等等。但是我依然忘不了那个时候这首歌曲陪伴我的时光，它就像我的一个灵魂伴侣一样。
Right now, we have so many young and talented pop song singers in China, like TFBoys. But, I still can’t forget those days when I listened to this song and regarded it as a soul companion of mine.

这首歌为什么特别：可以联系这首歌的内容和自己的生活。例如，每次听到这首歌就会想起自己的同桌和与同桌之间的友情等等。
Sample answer：
In my mind, there is a song I particularly enjoy and it means a lot to me, whose name is the girl next to me. It is a folk song(民谣) sung by Laolang, a famous folk singer in my country popular in young Chinese people in particular, young college students. The singer expresses his missing to the girl sitting at same table of him in his school time. I heard it on a music website for the first time several years ago when I was in my dormitory. I was impressed by the beautiful melody(旋律) and the touching lyrics(歌词) and it is not surprising that the song is very prevalent(流行的) among the young college students like me on campus.
Each time I hear the melody,I will think of the lovely face of my desk mate ,a lovely girl ,in my high school, especially her sweet smile and her limpid(清澈的 )eyes. We have pure friendship then, and we often helped each other. She taught me English and I was better in math. We have much happy time together. After graduating from high school, we separated and communicated with each other once in a while. I wish I can sing the song with her if I have an opportunity and I believe It will be touching picture.
music changed over the years?
