今日话题
Describe a situation if someone gave you money as a gift. You should say:
When it was
Who gave you
What you did
And explain how you felt about it
话题分析
1） 这道题是一个经历类话题，是本季的新话题卡。
2） 今天选择这道题是受到前几天看的奇葩说的启发，辩题是“钱能否代替礼物”，感觉正反双方辩的都很有道理，也引发了我对于以红包代替礼物的思考。正方认为钱给了对方选择的自由，很可能有助于解决对方的问题。反方认为钱作为礼物过于简单直接，不能承载更多的感情。
3） 那么你们是怎样想的呢？更喜欢收到钱还是精心准备的礼物呢？
4） 题目分解的话，“When it was+ Who gave you”两个问题是关于这个经历的“具体信息”，涉及到时间和人物，也可以顺便说这天是什么日子，对方要给你钱。
5） “What you did”说自己拿这笔钱做了什么，即“钱的用途”。
6） “Explain how you felt about it”回答你的感受，体现个人世界观，价值观，即“个人感受”。
7） 今天Joy小编为大家提供两个范例，一个是小编刚到国外的时候亲戚给的生活费，还有一个例子是过年的压岁钱。

具体
信息
- 中国人其实有发红包的传统风俗，尤其是在过年的时候，小孩子都会收到压岁钱。但我印象最深的钱作为礼物的经历是我刚到国外读书的时候，叔叔塞给我的钱。
- Chinese people actually have the traditional custom of sending red envelopes, especially in the New Year, when children receive lucky money. The most impressed experience of receiving money as a gift is the money that my uncle gave me when I first went abroad to study.
钱的
用途
- 去年是我第一次离家来到国外读书，一切都非常的陌生，我不仅需要适应语言环境，还要适应远比国内高的物价。
- 所以我叔叔在我刚到的时候，就给了我一个大红包，让我用作零用钱。
- Last year, I left home to study abroad. Everything was very strange and I not only have to adapt to the language environment, but also adapt to the prices far higher than domestic prices.
- So my uncle gave me a big red envelope when I first arrived there and let me use it as pocket money.
个人
感受
- 我真的很感谢叔叔在我初到国外的过渡期对我的帮助，那笔钱确实解决了我的很多麻烦。因为当时奖学金还没有入账，我第一月基本依靠叔叔给的红包生活的。
- 我过去总认为送钱作为礼物的人没有诚意，因为没有花时间去考虑并精心挑选对方喜爱的礼物。但是经历这一次我明白，送钱的方式或许很直接，但是是将自由的选择权利交予对方，实际上是一种更大的给予。
- I really appreciate my uncle's help during my transitional period when I first arrived abroad. That money really solved a lot of my troubles. Because the scholarship has not sent to my bank account on time, I basically relied on the red envelope given by my uncle for the first month.
- I used to think that people who gave money as gifts were not sincere because they didn't take the time to think about carefully and select the gifts the receiver my like. After that, I understand that the way to send money may be straightforward, but it is actually a greater giving since it gives the freedom to the receiver.

具体
信息
- 过年的时候，我们通常会去亲戚家串门，通常未成年的孩子就会收到压岁钱作为礼物，这真的是我每年最快乐的时候了。
- 通常是亲戚给我压岁钱，当然我父母也会给其他亲戚家的孩子压岁钱。
- During the Chinese New Year, we usually go to relatives’ home. Usually the underage children will receive the lucky money as a gift. This is really the happiest time to me.
- Usually my relatives give me money. Of course, my parents will also give money to other relatives' children.
钱的
用途
- 说实话，压岁钱带给我的快乐是短暂的。有些父母会把压岁钱交给孩子管理，但是我妈妈永远都以“暂时替你保管”为借口夺走我的压岁钱。
- To be honest, the happiness brought by the lucky money is short-lived. Some parents will give the lucky money to the child, while my mother will always take away my lucky money under the pretext of "temporarily custody for you".
个人
感受
- 虽然我几乎没有花过我的压岁钱，但我还是觉得从亲戚那里收到压岁钱的瞬间非常快乐。
- 发压岁钱通常是有一个小小的仪式的，就是孩子们聚在一起，然后给长辈行礼，然后长辈就会将钱装在红包里送给我们作为新年礼物。
- 我认为收到压岁钱的环节是过年的重要仪式之一。重点不在于我收到了多少钱，而是在春节的欢庆和热闹的氛围中，感受亲戚之间那种真切的关怀和爱。
- 另外，再过几年，估计我要开始发压岁钱了。
- Although I have hardly spent my lucky money, I still feel very happy to receive the lucky money from relatives.
- The children gather together and then salute the elders with congratulation words. Then the elders will put the money in a red envelope and give it to us as a New Year gift.
- I think that the activity to receive the New Year's money is one of the important rituals of the New Year. The point is not how much I have received, but the real care and love from relatives in the festive and lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
- In addition, in a few years, I guess I will start to send children pocket money.
高分范例音频&文字
（Recorded by Nick）
It was about three years ago when I was about to go to my university in Shanghai, which is quite a bit far from my hometown. It was my first time to leave my parents and live alone in a totally unfamiliar city. So my aunt who is very close with me gave me some money as a gift before I left my home. She said when one got out alone, one should keep enough money with himself. I was quite surprised and was moved by her kindness. At first, I rejected to keep the money since she was not very rich. But she insisted and even hid the money in my baggage. When I arrived at my dormitory and pend my baggage, I found the money and quite moved. I called her immediately and thanked her. In the past, I thought giving money as a gift shown that someone didn’t care you. He/she didn’t even want to spend some time to pick a gift for you. But at that moment, I thought maybe money was the most practical gift. And money also could deliver their kindness.
