Some revisions:

2. It sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
这是一个千载难逢的经历
3. to examine something very carefully in order to discover information
4. scrutinize
v. to examine something very carefully in order to discover information

5. devote oneself to sth

e.g. At the age of 25, he decided to devote himself to God/ the care of the homeless people.

6. I didn’t pair up with/team up with her in the first event/the group discussion/ the exam.
*in 的介词用法搭配
Some newly learned expressions

At first, she was worried about the high altitude and rugged terrain (崎岖的地型), but the Sherpas helped her acclimatize gradually and shared interesting stories about their culture along the way.
*acclimatize to = accustomed to = adapt to
e.g. She needs some time to acclimatize to the rainy weather.
e.g. You will acclimatize soon.

雅思9分挑战！两位学霸大PK，测测你和9分大神的距离！【附5-8月口语题库】
* 这期建议直接看上面👆🏻的视频，感受两个大神的碾压
这一期的雅思口语练习有些不同——不是单纯地问答雅思题目，而是测试词汇量、社交媒体英语和英语口语。我的感觉是：不管是正式的还是口语化的我都还没有达到理解和能迅速反应的程度。可能这也是为什么标准化的英语考试背后不代表真实地和 native speakers 交流和融入的情况，只能说道阻且长，行则将至。
我觉得最关键的一点是：哪怕是比较“textbook”的英语表达也要先尽可能迅速掌握和反应，毕竟网络用语一直在变，但掌握基本的语言能力是自我表达的基础，哪怕还没有太多个性化，但至少可以更顺畅交流。
Some newly learned words or expressions
1. "straight from the horse's mouth"
The idiom means receiving information directly from the original or most reliable source, ensuring its authenticity and truthfulness.
e.g. I heard it straight from the horse's mouth.
2. "Once in a blue moon"
The phrase "once in a blue moon" refers to an event that happens very infrequently, emphasizing its rarity.
e.g. I go to the cinema once in a blue moon.
3. "apple of my eye"
The idiom "apple of my eye" is used to express that a person or object is extremely precious and beloved.
e.g. He kept her as apple of his eye.
4. "don’t count your chickens before they hatch"
you should not make plans that depend on something good happening before you know that it has actually happened:
e.g. She wanted to buy a dress in case someone asked her to the dance, but I told her not to count her chickens before they hatched.
5. imperative
adj. extremely important or urgent
e.g. It's imperative to act now before the problem gets really serious.
6. elate
adj. extremely happy
e.g. The boss is elate at/by the profit.
7. better
n. people of a higher rank or social position than you:
e.g. As children, we were taught not to argue with our elders （长辈） and betters (上级).
v. to improve oneself to get a better job or educational background

雅思口语9分什么样？感受下母语者的实力‼️｜雅思｜雅思口语
今天中午考口试，因为下雨我提前了一个小时多到考点。在安静的校园里边看视频边练嘴找感觉——放松口头肌肉和声音，活跃大脑，调到英语思维模式——可能别人觉得玄，但这是我进入“状态”的方法，也觉得很有效。（以供参考）
这个视频我没有录自己的回答，不过自我感觉我回答其中有一个“怎么让老人参与运动”的问题还不错，我的答案：
Well, I think the elderly can be encouraged to participate in less intense/demanding/low-intensity sports such as Tai Chi and Baduanjing, which are two Chinese sports to promote wellness. Besides, the older people can sign up for some sports courses in institutions or the senior universities, where they can learn and practice along with peers. It can not only improve their they physical health but also can foster social connections with others, bringing benefits to their mental health.
音频里面是我总结今天的口试体验，以及分享一下考试题目，回忆版（传递大概意思，并非一字一句都准确还原）：
Part1：
* Do you work or study now?
* Where do you live?
* Do you like the city?
* Will you stay in the city in the future? Do you often encounter advertisements?
* Do you remember the content?
* Do you buy a product after watching the advertisement?
(考到这里信号问题听不清楚，我做出手势，北京考官捯饬了几下还是没听到，他就退出了，我按铃有监考老师过来带我出考场，等待了5、6分钟重头开始。)
* 前面四个问题和第一次一样
* Have you borrowed book from a friend?
* Will you borrow things from your friends?
* Will you lend your phone to your friend?
* Do you like lending things to your friends?
* Do you enjoy visiting museums with friends?
* How often do you visit?
* Which museum do you want to visit in the future?
Part2:
* Describe an experience when you received a good service from a shop or company
Part3:
* Do you think the most expensive objects means the best service?
* Some people say if a company's goods are of good qualities, the service doesn't matter, how do you think?
* What are the differences between online and offline customer services?
* Some shops use AI tools in customer services, how do you think?

中国考生雅思口语9分，快看看“大佬”的表现吧！
说实话我觉得小哥的应变能力和词汇量没得说，没想到看评论很多人说不应该是9分，一是语音语调，二是答案有背诵痕迹。我想可能仁者见仁智者见智，毕竟这是考试。但，交流的本质在于能表达自我，并能互动。
Some revisions
1. I am not into some drab and dark colors because they seem very heavy; rather, I prefer some bright colors which can bring vigour/vitality and liveliness.
2. By Chinese convention, red and yellow are the most typical/iconic/symbolic colors in some ceremonies or architecture. For red, it represents/symbolizes a sense of passion, joy, heat, and prosperity, while yellow is the unique color to stand the empire, and divine right. Both colors can be treated as signals for some auspicious meanings such as driving away evil spirits.
* imperial a. relating to an empire
*connotation n.a feeling or idea that is suggested by a particular word, an object
Both colors have auspicious conotations such as bringing good luck and driving away evil spirits.
Part2 question: talk about an idea you have had to make the world a better place
The revised version:
I have had an idea about environmental protection. Actually it's not something big and amazing, it's just a pragmatic and small idea rooted in daily life. The idea is to do whatever I can do make the world greener. For example, I turn off the light when I leave the house or try to make use of natural light rather than an incandescent lamp. Other things I do include recycling clothes and old electrical appliances, and taking more public transportations for daily commute.
Admittedly, my idea is very simple but it's doable/ accessible for most people. It can help better/improve our current environment instead of ignoring the daily problems and burying ourselves in/focusing solely on inventing some new energy or technologies to save our planet. By saying so I didn't mean we don't need professors or experts in related/relevant fields, what I want to say is we need to play different roles when addressing the same problem. By doing so/in this way, I think it's more practical/utilitarian.

雅思口语9分什么样❓这松弛感真的慕了😌｜雅思｜雅思口语
借这期视频回顾关于家乡的一些问题：
* What city do u live in?
* Do you like the city and why?
* Are there big changes in the city?
* Are there different age groups living in the city?
Some revisions
1. Guizhou is located in the south-west of China, with rich ethnic minority culture and beautiful natural scenery.
*ethical 道德的，我说成了这个单词
*scenery 不可数
2. I feel nostalgic about my hometown. Besides, the people there are another factor that bonds/ties me to it.
3. Huge changes have taken place over the past few years. For example, newly built metro lines, which makes public transportation more convenient; some high-rise buildings have been constructed; some obsolete plants and factories have been renovated and revitalized/transformed into trendy/vibrant cultural districts/precincts.
4. In the older parts of Guiyang, there are more elderly people because the public amenities (公共设施) are well-developed. In the outskirts, for example Guanshanhu District, many young people and migrant workers (外来务工人员) from other cities work and live in newly built residential areas there. So I would say Guiyang has residents/inhabitants of all ages.
5. I can uncover a lot of hidden insights and trends in data, so it's sort of like a treasure hunt (寻宝游戏).

Some revisions:

2. I don’t have any specific preferences for hot drinks.
I don't have a particular preference when it comes to hot drinks.
3. A lot of people usually start/ kick off their day with a cup of tea, whether it’s green tea or black tea.
4. Having a cup of tea has become one of my morning routines recently.
Describe a crowded place you have been to
I went to a night food market last month during my solo trip in Dunhuang. I asked a taxi driver where the liveliest place to have some local specialities was. He recommended and drove me to the food market. Upon my arrival, I was taken aback by the scene in front of me. There were already a lot of/ crowds of people chatting with each other and walking happily. There were restaurants on both sides of the street, and their owners were touting/calling out loudly to attract more people. In the middle of the street, there was a row of temporary stalls selling postcards, paintings and other souvenirs. I walked for a while and stopped by an open square where there were lots of food stands and people in lines. I bought a bowl of lamb noodles and a bottle of local beverage, they were delicious with reasonable prices. I had a great time there.

印度妹子雅思口语9.0‼️这口音简直完美💯|雅思｜雅思口语
Some revisions:
1. We enjoyed the live concert while having some snacks. There were some food stalls at the venue.
2. I enjoy reading magazines on science and nature, and I specifically keen to flip through colourful photos or illustrations. To some extent, I saw them as supplements (supplimentary adj) to my textbooks, as my high-school textbooks were black and white and lacked colourful pictures.
3. I like reading paperback books, and I think the vibe is nostalgic which the digital books cannot provide. I do enjoy those moments when I curl up with a cup of tea while reading.
4. From my observation, people in my hometown don’t have/lack the habit of going to the theatre. In contrast, in first-tier cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen, cultural facilities/infrastructure are/is much more well-developed. I have watched many parents bring their children to enjoy a musical or a play. What’s more, numerous art festivals are held in big cities to popularize not just films, but also stage performances like musicals and plays.
see/ watch sb do sth
5. I think the core is striking a balance between supporting artists and ensuring public access to cultural activities/resources. While actors, actress, and playwrights rely on salary to sustain their career, the government could provide subsidies to underprivileged people so that they can afford tickets of plays.

Q：At what time of year do you normally go on holiday?
When I worked in Hong Kong, I usually spent my holidays in May, because there was an Easter holiday and I could ask for a few extra days off. Therefore, I could have more than a week off to travel. Besides, the weather was mild and ideal.
