 伍芝麻 2015-11-06

今天给大家继续分享关于人物的雅思口语加分表达。


大家要把我们的材料至少朗读十遍,然后去我的微博“杨帅-贵学”这条信息下面回复“十遍”打卡,希望这种方式能督促大家学习。


回复“婆婆”两个字接收朗读音频。


I know this is cliche, but I don't get on with my in-laws, especially my mother-in-law, Jane. She's so nosy, always wanting to know what we're doing and who we're with, and she is terribly blunt, which means she quite often upsets us with things she comes out with. And then she can be quite stingy. When we go out for a meal with her and my father-in-law, she never offers to pay, even though they're much better-off than us. I must say, though, she's extremely clever and I do respect her for that. She set up her own business five years ago and it's gone from strength to strength. She's so self-assured and ambitious too, which I suppose is why she's so successful in business.
