本期节目话题背景

最近，有同学问了我这样一道题 “Describe a time when you organized a happy event successfully”，这道题让我想起了我之前为同学们组织的一次万圣节派对，真是让我印象深刻。除了要装扮场地，还需要买糖果和服装，但是我的预算有限，不过最后还是完美解决了。到底是怎样解决的?跟我一起来聊一聊吧!

不得不说，网购真是太方便了，不仅价格更低，而且还能够在约定时间内送货上门。我相信这是一个非常成功的活动，因为包括我在内的每一位参与者都玩儿得很开心。

2雅思口语Part 2 话题参考文本

I remember this one time I had to organize a Halloween party for my students. Halloween is a western tradition but has been quite popular in China recently. So my school has decided to give one each year and last year was my turn to organize it.

Basically, my idea was to prepare some popular Halloween activities such as trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, costume dressing and playing pranks on each other. However, one of the problems is that some students are too lazy to bring their own candies and dress up in costumes. So we need to buy some chocolate and costumes before the party with my limited budget.

Fortunately, my school assigned a Chinese staff to help me order all the stuff from online vendors and she is very efficient because she knows where to get the cheap costumes on Taobao. And they all arrived in time before the party.

After that, it is time for the party. I remember on that day, at least 40 students came, some of them brought their family too. We had food and drinks, carved the pumpkins, and dressed up as superheroes and of course I am Ironman, who is my all-time favorite. I believe it was a very successful event because every including me had a lot of fun.
