话题卡说明
话题卡“Describe an electronic equipment”是口语考试中物品类话题卡中较为高频出现的话题卡之一，考官主要考查考生描述物品细节的能力是否过硬。
考生在描述这个话题卡时要注意的是这个话题卡的限定条件——“有用处的，有帮助的”电子产品。一个帮助自己学习语言的电子词典，一个休闲时间用来放松的电子游戏机等，都是不错的取材。
点题
The electronic thing I found useful is an Electronic English-ChineseDictionary This gadget was given by my granny on my 18th birthday. It’shandy, glossy, light weight, and super thin.
外观
It has a PDA style interface, where I could write an unknown character, then have the dictionary magically tell me what it was.
为何选择
I’d say that it was in high school that I've really felt the urge to get oneto help with my English learning. I had this gadget with me everywhere inthe last 3 years of my high school. As I mentioned, it's completelyportable and very light weight, so it's easy to put into my back pocket.
为何有用
The dictionary includes not only definitions, but plenty of usage examplesand sentences. It contains great idiomatic and colloquial phrases, both forUS and UK English—in addition to the more “standard” used meanings.Also, the word search history list makes it very easy to jump back to aword you looked up earlier, making it a very valuable study tool.
Its popularity amongst young people also has had a persuasive effect onme. I personally think my electronic dictionary is the single bestinvestment.
