雅思口语空中课堂第二期

I’m gona talk about my friend, his name is called tom. We met up around the year 2005 when I just became a sophomore at University. At first, I felt he was kind of being slightly eccentric because he did not talk that much with my other new friends. But after getting to know each other, I felt he was completely different, every time when we met, he seemed quite cheerful, but he also happened to have some disadvantages, for example, he was a bit indecisive, when we had some time to go out for shopping, he always couldn’t make his mind up, so he was always choosing and thinking about which one to buy. Ever since, I have been working on helping him out of hesitation. Sometimes I would ask him to do some self adjustment because I wanted him to build up more self confidence. After around half a year, I assured him that he would be quite decisive. When going out to buy clothes again, he could quickly get well dressed. I also happened to have something to get improved, for example, I did not have that much confidence in communicating with strangers, in this case, I learned a lot from him because he was truly good at making self-deprecating stories on his own when having conversations with other people. Then I started to adopt this skill and after a while, I became tactful in talking with others in this way. However, when I introduced about some topical affairs, I was slightly nervous because I was not entirely familiar with that. sophomore 大二 ecentric：behave slightly strange 行为举止古怪 meet up 遇见某人 完全：completely，entirely cheerful：noticeably happy， delighted happen to碰巧是 indecisive clumsy：lack of social skill 迂腐，轴 go out for 出去做某事 make one’s mind up下决心 build up建立－establish self－adjustment自我调节 self－confidence well－dressed穿着得体 get improved 得到提升，有了提升 self－deprecating自嘲，韩寒爱自嘲 on one’s own 某人自己 tactful：showing skillful or sensitivity in doing sth
