Spoken IELTS Part2 Topic Card: Describe a time that someone didn't tell you the whole truth about something

Ideas: The following ideas are for reference only, and we hope you can write your answers according to your real experience

This question is more interesting and has medium difficulty coefficient. We need to try to find our own experience of not being cheated in life. It may be a very bad thing, such as the boyfriend's split up, the girl's ticket has something to hide, etc., or it may be a kind lie, and in the end both of us cry. One of the difficulties is whether you can explain clearly what happened to you at that time.

subject

Reference answer

Here are the original reference answers for the old roast duck editor according to the specific topic requirements:

Please do not plagiarize the articles on this website by Beijing New Channel, Shanghai New Channel, and Zhike Network.

I want to talk about an occasion that happened in my high school. It was about my little cat Daisy.

I want to say something that happened in my high school. It's about my cat Daisy.

I clearly remember it was in the last but one month of my last semester in high school. At that time, I was in my final busy round of preparation for the GAOKAO, which is the college entrance examination in China.

I clearly remember that it was the penultimate month of the last semester of high school. At that time, I was busy with the last round of review for the college entrance examination.

The moment I got home from school one night, my mother told me that our Daisy,  a Persian Cat that I have kept since the first year of my junior high school, has been sent to my aunt’s home for a while because she worried that it might affect my studies, and that probably it was about to be back after my GAOKAO.

Once my mother told me that Daisy, our Persian cat, had been sent to my aunt's home since I was in the first grade of junior high school. I was afraid it would affect my study. She said that she would probably send it back after the college entrance examination.

You know I immediately thought something wasn’t right there because Daisy was very obedient and silent mostly, it didn’t bother me too much while I was studying. But later, my mother’s calm facial expression, while she was knitting the sweater, made my doubt soon disappear. Two months later, after I had taken the exam, my mother hugged me and said that she felt so sorry not to tell the truth about Daisy’s accident. This article is from Laokaoya website. She got lost when she was outing with my mother in the market and couldn’t somehow find it. You know, I was sad to hear about that, but I didn’t blame my mother for this tragedy.

At that time, I thought there was something wrong because Daisy was basically obedient and didn't disturb me when I was studying. However, my mother was knitting a sweater at that time, and her calm face made me put down my suspicion. Two months later, when I finished the exam, my mother held me in her arms and was sorry to tell me about the accident Daisy sent. It was lost when I walked around the market with my mother, and I never found it. I was very sad, but I didn't blame my mother for this tragedy.

I think the reason why my mother didn’t tell me the truth at the very beginning was that she wanted me to put my whole heart into the preparation for the most significant exam in high school. I felt like the movie’s plot had lived in my real life. But, I do appreciate my mother’s care, without which I wouldn’t be able to make it in the exam.

I think I didn't tell the truth at the beginning because I wanted to devote myself to the most important exam center in high school. I think the scene in the movie happened in my life. However, I really appreciate my mother's consideration for me, otherwise I would not have passed the exam successfully at that time.
