話題分析
這是一道事件類話題新題目，題目不難理解，關鍵是過去的一次艱難決定。所以同學們要注意時態(tài)用過去時。從自身出發(fā)，相信同學們對于這道題應該有不少想法，很多時候都會難以作出決定，比如選擇什么時候考雅思；要不要考研；買東西時的糾結等等。
但是切忌只是簡單的例舉一串場景而沒有詳細的描述，同學們要選擇記憶深刻的一次經(jīng)歷進行較為詳細的描述。這道題同樣適用遷移法，可以以將“最近做的一次決定”這一題稍作改編，穿插入做決定時的內(nèi)心活動即可。
第一小問“What the decision was ” 什么決定
首先要清楚地表達需要做什么決定，在回答完問題之后適當補充當時的當時的心情如何，是非常焦急、焦慮還是比較悠閑、有很多時間去思考再做決定。
第二小問“ When you made your decision ”什么時候
同樣需要直接回答問題之后進行補充！最近還是一段時間之前？可以補充說明現(xiàn)在回想起來是否后悔所做的決定。除此之外，可以補充是出于什么原因（比如什么時間點發(fā)生了什么轉折性的事情）導致了你做了這個決定。
第三小問“ What the results of the decision were ”最終決定的結果是什么
承接上面說的做決定的原因，可以是幾方面的原因（比如有突發(fā)事件、他人的意見等），最后促使你下定了決心。再描述一下這個決定帶來的影響和后果，或者未來的計劃。
第四小問“And explain why it was difficult to make” 為什么難決定
大部分情況下對于原因解釋都需要分點回答， 難的原因可以是自身原因或是外界干擾因素，詳見下文的思維圖。
下面是關于這個話題可以延伸出來的思維圖：

答案示例+音頻
此篇以決定留學為例：
I'd like to talk about a hard decision that I made last year. It's about whether I should study abroad in England or further my study here in China. I had to make this decision in my last summer vacation when I was a sophomore student, and I was about to begin my graduate program the next year. I made this decision mainly by asking opinions from lots of people; for example, I asked some of my friends who plan to go abroad to study and some of the seniors who have already been abroad about their feelings about studying and living in England. And I also asked some of my friends who applied for graduate programs here in china about their experience as well. And I had made my decision based on their answers. The result is that I decide to go abroad to study. Because firstly, I want to become more independent. Here in China, my parents take care of me in every aspect. But in England, I have to take care of myself, like doing the laundry and cooking. And secondly, if I were to study in England, my English would become very fluent. And it's very important for my future career development. Besides, I really enjoy English culture, and my favorite British drama is Downton Abby, so I hope to have this opportunity to experience the British lifestyle and culture. The decision was very difficult to make because, as you know, studying abroad is a huge financial commitment, but my parents are not very rich, but they are willing to support me with that. In addition, as I said, I need to be very independent to study abroad and have to take care of myself. About that, I was not very confident of my own independence. The idea ofgetting everything arranged in perfect order makes me feel very scary. But I think I will figure it out.
亮點表達：
sophomore student 大二學生
made my decision 做決定
career development 職業(yè)發(fā)展
financial commitment 經(jīng)濟負擔（責任）
getting everything arranged 萬事都被安排
