雅思口语：foreign food（韩餐）

　对韩餐迷得不行的小吃货们，遇到foreign food或者special meal you’d like to have这种雅思口语话题, 一定不要忘了去韩餐馆里常点的食物，甭管吃过还是没吃过的题目，就挑自己熟悉的来，就好了!

　　如果是“吃过”的话题，就这么开头：

　　I’d like to talk about the spicy chicken feet I ate when I was travelling in Korea with my classmates last year.

　　如果是“想吃没吃过”，这样开头：

　　I’ve always wanted to have a meal in a restaurant in Korea to try some authentic spicy chicken feet, but sadly I’ve never had the chance.

　　然后开始介绍这道菜：

　　This is a well-known Korean dish, and it’s on the must-try list for tourists in Korea. If you don’t eat spicy chicken feet in Korea, then it’s like you’ve never been there.

　　下面主要是跟雅思考官讲“吃过”的故事，大家把主语换一下，变成“同学去吃回来告诉我他们的体验”，(基本上就是各种he said… I was told… he told me…)然后自己各种羡慕，就变成“想吃没吃”的素材了。

　　My classmates and I went to a highly recommended local restaurant, and ordered this famed dish. As the name suggests, the main flavor of it is spicy, but it’s mixed with a little bit of sweetness. And magically, if you eat the chicken feet with rice wine that comes with the dish, the spicy flavor would soon disappear. And we can dip the chicken feet into a variety of sauces they offered, which could add extra flavor to them. You can choose the sauce according to your own taste, basically all the flavors you could think of were available there, and the best part is, there are free of charge.

　　And I have to mention the texture of the meat. It’s pretty chewy, and we could see lots of oil in the dish, but the meat was not greasy at all. I’m not exaggerating, it really tasted like heaven.

　　So it has officially become my favorite dish.

　　语言点解析：

　　chewy: (of food) needing to be chewed a lot before it can be swallowed

　　exaggerate: to make something seem larger, better, worse or more important than it really is 例如：

　　The hotel was really filthy and I'm not exaggerating.

　　另外，上面的素材也可以添油加醋的变成a city you’ve been to这种描写城市的或者履行的话题答案，因为去玩耍，很重要的一项就是逛吃逛吃哇!

　　This topic reminds me of the time my friends and I went to Seoul during last summer vacation.

　　This city is a magnet for tourists because of the lively nightlife and all kinds of boutiques that sell fashionable clothes. Plus, although it’s a metropolitan city, it’s quite small, so people can always bump into super stars when they are walking on the street. So, you can imagine, it’s also a place that attracts tons of fashion followers and groupies.

　　But for us, what appeals to us the most is the Korean cuisine. Before we set off, we checked online and read plenty of travel tips. So the minute we got there, we just started to look for the restaurant that was on top of our ‘must visit’ list. It was the most popular local restaurant (下面就开始讲鸡爪子)

　　I just fell in love with that city, ‘cause there are so many mouth-watering things to eat, it’s like a paradise for foodies. So I’ll definitely go there again.
