下面就来看一个雅思口语真题：
Describe a wedding you attended.
You should say:
l   Whose wedding it was
l   Who was there
l   Where it was
l   And explain how you felt at this wedding.
 
Ok then, well, I've actually been to quite a few weddings, so it was kind of difficult choosing which one to describe, but I guess probably the easiest for me to talk about would be the most recent one I went to, which was that of a neighbor of mine. And I guess it must have been about a couple of months ago, during the spring, which is a popular time to get married here because the weather is not too hot!
 
Anyway, as for who was there, well, I couldn't tell you everyone, because there were absolutely loads of people, you know, I guess there were probably something like 250 to 300 guests, the majority of which were friends and relatives of the bride and groom.
 
And the wedding was held in a hotel in a small city, which is about an hour's drive just to the south east of Hangzhou, because that's where the bride comes from. I can’t remember the name of the hotel I’m afraid, but it was a really nice one, so I guess it was probably one of the best in the city.
 
Anyway, regarding how I felt at the wedding, well, to put it simply, it was a really wonderful wedding, and there were some parts of it that moved me quite a lot, such as when the bride broke down in tears when she was on stage thanking her parents for all the support they had given her. It was also really clear to see how much the bride and groom loved each other, as they couldn't take their eyes off each other during the whole process. So I was really happy for them and was glad that I made it to their wedding. So yeah, that’s pretty much all I can remember.
