口语话题：Describe a musical event you attended

Arlay

       Describe a musical event you attended
　　You should say
　　What kind of musical event it was
　　When and where you saw it
　　What you did there
　　and explain why you liked it
　　很多同学拿到题目的第一反应就是好难!没参加过Musical Event!其实音乐事件不需要交响,那样高大上,一些接地气的活动比如concert,music festival都是可以的~
　　音乐事件这个题其实乍一看挺唬人的，大家往往想到的都是特别高大上的事儿，比如说音乐庆典啊，交响乐团啊，甚至奥斯卡小金人儿可能都在众考生脑海里浮现过其实可以很简单
　　思路：
　　Topic——伦敦爱乐乐团 London Philharmonic Orchestra, 伯明翰交响乐团City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra这种, musical event其实还可以是接地气的活动比如concert，music festival 潮一点的可以说草莓音乐节Strawberry Music Festival，山炮一点的也可以说学校里的唱歌比赛 singing competition嘛
　　易错点：
　　时态——题目中的attended这个词直接限定了时态是过去时
　　难点：
　　展开一个musical event的时候考生往往觉得很难展开，一道一道题看：
　　What kind of musical event it was，可以使singing competition, live concert, symphony (交响乐)
　　When and where you saw it，在哪里，什么时候看的
　　What you did there，比如演唱会上，我跟着喜欢的歌手一起唱，观众一起尖叫
　　and explain why you liked it，可以用大篇幅展开
　　如果大家不太会表述musical event本身的内容，可以把内容更多描述这个musical event为什么对你很重要，讲一个故事，也许因为这个表演者是你的偶像，可以说说这个偶像对你的影响;也可以是因为跟你一起看表演的人对你来说有特殊的意义，于是这次musical event变得格外有sentimental value等等
　　语料：
　　concert/ live performance/ VIP ticket/ melody/ lyrics/die-heart fan/ vocal ability/ atmosphere/ sentimental value
　　范文：
　　Well I’ve been to various sorts of musical events, like concerts performed by LPO(London Philharmonic Orchestra) , CBSO(City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra) and piano concert conducted by LangLang who is the most renowned pianist in China. But today I’d like to talk about Beyoncé’s live performance, which stands out particularly.
　　I still vaguely remember that was around a couple of years ago, I was doing my bachelor degree at Shanghai. My bestie offered me a VIP ticket as my birthday gift, allowing me to watch the live show at the first row. I was like totally thrilled, not only coz that’s my first time to see those celebrities so closely, but the show was also performed by Beyoncé. Well actually, I am her die-hard fan, since I can feel her soul and energy lying in her melody and lyrics.
　　It was raining a little during that night, which was beautiful yet incomplete. The live concert turned out to be a starry affair. The spacious Shanghai Stadium was packed by the passionate music nuts who are obsessed by Beyoncé’s phenomenal live performance. Unlike some of the recording artists, Beyoncé could always ignite the night and her fans through her unique vocal abilities and strong dancing performance. Everyone was singing along with Beyoncé and the enthusiasm was contagious among the crowd, the attendance of the Eminem pushed the concert to the climax. I could still remember my heartbeats in my chest.
　　So, yeah, that was the best musical show I’ve ever seen and the most memorable birthday I had. Coz of the precious memory it left me! And the live concert itself has some sentimental value to me.
