经历类话题（如：一次旅行、一次学习经历、一个重要的决定）是雅思口语的常客。核心在于讲一个好故事，不仅要叙述事件，更要分享你的感受和收获。
你的描述应该像一个小故事，有开头（背景）、发展（经过）、高潮（最精彩/最难的部分）和结尾（结果与感悟）。
避免宽泛的陈述。使用具体的细节来让故事生动。
不说：”The food was good.“
要说：”The pasta was incredibly creamy, with just the right amount of truffle aroma that filled the air.“
清楚地告诉考官你在不同阶段的感受。从开始（兴奋/紧张）-> 过程（遇到困难/感到快乐）-> 结尾（自豪/欣慰/学到东西）。
结尾部分非常重要。一定要总结你从这次经历中学到了什么，或它如何改变了你。这展示了你的思考深度。
这是叙述过去经历最主要使用的时态。
例如：I went to... / I decided to... / It was a...
表示"过去的过去"。
例如：I had never tried sushi before that day. (在"那天"之前，我从未尝试过)
描述背景或一个动作发生时另一个动作正在进。
例如：The sun was setting, and the sky was turning into a beautiful shade of orange.
仅在结尾谈论持续到现在的影响或普遍真理时使用。
例如：That experience has made me a more confident person. (持续的影响)
例如：I learned that stepping out of your comfort zone is important. (普遍真理)
thrilled, excited, eager, over the moon / 兴奋的，激动的，渴望的，欣喜若狂
nervous, anxious, butterflies in my stomach, had cold feet / 紧张的，焦虑的，心里七上八下（直译：胃里有蝴蝶），临阵畏缩
astonished, amazed, taken aback, speechless / 震惊的，惊奇的，吓了一跳，说不出话
delighted, enjoyed every minute of it, had a blast, was on cloud nine / 高兴的，享受每一分钟，玩得很开心，开心到极致（直译：在九霄云上）

（描述一次你第一次尝试一种新食物的经历）
I'd like to talk about the first time I tried authentic Japanese sushi in Tokyo. It was about three years ago during my vacation, and it's an experience that has really stuck with me.
我想谈谈我第一次在东京尝试正宗日本寿司的经历。那大约是在三年前我度假的时候，这是一次让我记忆犹新的体验。
Prior to this, I had only ever eaten supermarket sushi back home, which was usually pre-packaged and not very fresh. So, I was both excited and a little nervous to try the real deal. I remember walking into this tiny, traditional sushi bar in the Ginza district. The atmosphere was incredibly serene, with the master chef, or itamae, working quietly behind the counter.
在此之前，我只在家乡吃过超市的寿司，通常是预包装的，不太新鲜。所以，我对尝试真正的寿司既兴奋又有点紧张。我记得我走进位于银座区的一家小小的传统寿司店。气氛非常宁静，寿司大师（日语：itamae）在柜台后安静地工作。
The chef recommended the omakase course, which means "I'll leave it up to you". I agreed, and the experience began. The first piece he prepared was a simple nigiri with sea bream. It looked so beautiful, almost like a piece of art. I picked it up with my chopsticks, dipped it lightly in soy sauce, and put it in my mouth.
厨师推荐了"omakase"套餐，意思是"交给您了"。我同意了，体验就此开始。他制作的第一道菜是一片简单的加真鲷的"握寿司"。它看起来如此精美，简直像一件艺术品。我用筷子夹起它，轻轻蘸了点酱油，放进了嘴里。
A wave of amazement washed over me. The fish was unbelievably fresh and melted in my mouth. The rice was slightly warm and had a perfect balance of sweet and sour from the vinegar. It was a completely different universe from anything I had ever tasted before. I was truly speechless for a moment. With each new piece—from fatty tuna to creamy sea urchin—I became more and more delighted. I enjoyed every single minute of it.
一阵惊奇感涌上心头。鱼肉无比新鲜，入口即化。米饭微温，醋带来的甜味和酸味完美平衡。这和我以前吃过的任何东西都完全是天壤之别。我一时真的说不出话来。随着每一道新寿司——从肥美的金枪鱼到奶油般的海胆——我变得越来越开心。我享受其中的每一分钟。
Looking back, that meal was a real eye-opener. It taught me that being adventurous with food can lead to incredible discoveries. I not only discovered my love for high-quality sushi but also gained a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture and craftsmanship. Since then, I've become much more open to trying new cuisines. It was more than just a meal; it was a valuable lesson in keeping an open mind.
回首往事，那顿饭真是让我大开眼界。它教会我，勇于尝试食物可以带来惊人的发现。我不仅发现了自己对高品质寿司的热爱，还对日本文化和工艺有了更深的欣赏。从那以后，我对尝试新菜系变得更加开放。这不仅仅是一顿饭；这是一次关于保持开放心态的宝贵教训。
