話題分析
這道題目大家要注意用過去式的形式來表達(dá).同時(shí)要注意這是身邊的兩個(gè)朋友之間的爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，而不是你和朋友的爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，你是作為旁觀者的身份。這道題目可以從很多方面入手，argument爭(zhēng)吵可以發(fā)生在各種事情上。比如對(duì)于學(xué)生而言，可以是一些生活上的爭(zhēng)吵，例如在一個(gè)寢室內(nèi)生活作息習(xí)慣的不同很容易導(dǎo)致室友朋友之間產(chǎn)生爭(zhēng)吵；或是小組合作中有不愉快的經(jīng)歷。而對(duì)于成年人而言，金錢方面是十分敏感的，一旦有涉及錢方面的事情，會(huì)容易發(fā)生很多矛盾。例如朋友之間的借錢，投資合作不愉快等等。這些很明顯朋友間的感情會(huì)逐漸破裂。
沒有思路的同學(xué)們可以按照上面的思路來回想生活中的瑣事來回答這題，因?yàn)橛H身經(jīng)歷過的事情往往會(huì)有更多的話可以表達(dá)出來！
第一小問“When it was”什么時(shí)候發(fā)生的
清楚地表明政治發(fā)生的時(shí)間，當(dāng)時(shí)你正在干什么，在哪里發(fā)生的等適當(dāng)補(bǔ)充。
第二小問“What the argument was about”爭(zhēng)執(zhí)關(guān)于什么
首先概括因?yàn)槭裁炊臣?，然后進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的敘述根據(jù)事情的起因以及經(jīng)過。
第三小問“How it was solved "如何解決
大部分同學(xué)通常都會(huì)一句話帶過，但事實(shí)上需要盡可能的詳細(xì)，否則無法說到2分鐘。如何解決可以分類，與金錢有關(guān)，情感有關(guān)又或是與工作任務(wù)有關(guān)。
第四小問“And how you feel about it”你的感受如何
這一問非常常見，通常都可以分為兩個(gè)方向。對(duì)于身邊這兩個(gè)朋友爭(zhēng)吵這件事本身的看法同時(shí)表達(dá)自己對(duì)爭(zhēng)吵的想法以及之后會(huì)如何處理。
下面是關(guān)于這個(gè)話題可以延伸出來的思維圖：

答案示例+音頻
此篇是以旅游吵架為例： I’d like to talk about an argument that happened between two of my friends - Nick and Jonas. It was two years ago when we flew to Bali for vacation. Nick is quite good at organization so he planed all the itineraries before we started. As soon as I got off the plane in Bali, the sea breeze blew away all my fatigue. It was like, a wonderful holiday was calling me ahead. But who knows it’s just the beginning of a nightmare.
It was nearly 1 a.m when we got back to the hotel after a full-day visit, and all of us were super exhausted. At that time, Nick told us that we would go to Ayong River rafting at 6 o 'clock next morning, as the place where we stayed was far away from the destination, there was very little time for us to sleep. So, Jonas complained that Nick’s schedule was too tight and that it’s gonna be impossible to get up early next morning. Anyway, after a few short hours of sleep, we got up with loose eyes, then we rushed to the meeting place after quick washing, but we found no one there. We waited for another thirty minutes and still no one was in sight. Suddenly, Jonas got irritated because he found the scheduled time was 6 p.m., he shouted loudly at Nick and complained why he didn’t check the reservation carefully. Nick was aggrieved and he accused Jonas of doing nothing and counting on him to make all the arrangements. I didn’t know how to persuaded them to calm down, so I just watched them fighting over each other fiercely.
Well, I’ve already forgotten how we went back to the hotel, but I clearly remember that they didn’t talk to each other for the next few days. Then I realized that we should not rely too much on others when traveling abroad, and it’s better to share responsibilities.
