大家好，我是Alice老师。首先新年快乐，在这里也祝愿各位同学在新的一年里都有更多的进步和收获！那今天，也是在新年的第一期好声音节目里，我们来聊一聊，一道最近很常见的雅思口语考题。

这道题目是，

Describe a situation when you were late for an appointment.

You should say:

When was it?

Why were you late?

How did you feel about it?

根据话题卡问题的提示，很明显，Why were you late，是你需要花最多时间来讲述的，而它也是我们备考阶段中最容易准备的。关于迟到的原因，我建议，对这个情景不是很熟悉的同学从天气和交通这两个角度说，因为这两个角度很有画面感，能给你足够多的发挥空间，当然，如果你真的有一个令人激动的关于迟到的好故事可以说，那也无妨。

好啦，话不多说，我们来听一下正文吧。

Well, I’m not usually late for my appointments;

Actually, I’m quite the opposite. But I guess nobody can always be on time, right?

About one month ago, I was late for a group meeting with my group mates. We were supposed to meet at around 9am to discuss a project that we had been working on for almost three months. One of the big problems was that there was a lot of rain that day and the traffic was really bad. It was a journey that I had done several times before, so I knew roughly how much the time it took. And I planned as I would normally do. However, because of the heavy rain and the heavy traffic, it took a lot longer than normal. And I ended up being approximately 20 minutes late for the meeting.

When I arrived, my group mates didn’t really look upset for the waiting, even though they all arrived on time. However, I felt really bad about myself because I made three people wait for me. After that time, I learned a lesson, which is, if I ever have an appointment under a bad weather condition again, I would definitely leave home earlier than usual!
