        A Car or Vehicle
  
  Describe a car or vehicle you would like to have in the future
  
  You should say:
  
  Which will you choose (motorbike or car)
  
  What it will look like
  
  How much it will cost
  
  And explain why you’d like to buy it
  
  Which will you choose
  
  In the future I would like to have a BMW car. I think BMW makes the slickest car on the road. First, I would choose a car rather thank a motorbike or truck because cars are a nice mix between maneuverability and versatility. A big rig like a truck wastes a lot of gas. A motorcycle can get good mileage, but they do not work well in snowstorms.
  
  slickest = sexiest, coolest. 最酷的
  
  例句:That is a really slick boat, where did you buy it?
  
  nice mix = good combination. 很好的结合
  
  例句:College is a nice mix between work and fun.
  
  mileage = fuel efficiency. 油耗
  
  例句:This car gets really poor mileage.
  
  What it will look like
  
  I would want to buy a red, mid-sized BMW. I would pick blue because it is a color that stands out in a crowd. I would keep it washed and spruced-up all the time so that the it would turn the girls’ heads. It is always difficult to wow someone with your car if the inside looks like a pigsty.
  
  stands out in a crowd = is noticeable. 引人注目的
  
  例句:The tall man really stood out in the crowd.
  
  turn the girls’ heads = capture the attention of girls 引起女孩的注意
  
  例句:The fancy watch turned all of the peoples’ heads.
  
  wow = impress. 使...有印象
  
  例句:Tom wowed his boss with his presentation
  
  spruced-up = clean, looking nice. 干净的、清洁的
  
  例句:I spruced up my room before my mom came home.
  
  pigsty = messy, untidy, dirty 脏的 乱的
  
  例句:Wow, did you see Rob’s house, it was a pigsty!
  
  How much it will cost
  
  The car will cost a pretty penny. BMWs are not a poor man’s car. Most people who drive them are really loaded. In light of this, it will probably take some time before I can shell out the money to buy one.
  
  pretty penny = expensive 贵的
  
  例句:Buying a new house costs a pretty penny, its expensive.
  
  a poor man’s = inexpensive 便宜的
  
  例句:It’s a poor man’s beer, but it is my favorite beer.
  
  loaded = wealthy 有钱的 富有的
  
  例句:Kim is loaded, she is very rich.
  
  In light of = acknowledging … 考虑到…
  
  例句:In light of gas prices, I suggest we walk.
  
  shell out = spend 花、花费
  
  例句:I don’t want to shell out 10 dollars for a hamburger.
  
  And explain why you’d like to buy it
  
  I would like to buy a BMW because a good car is a mark of pride in my country. Not all cars are the same. I really like cars and tend to dote all of my attention and money on them. I love the feeling of driving on the open road. I like driving with the pedal to the metal, going as fast as the car will go. I love to go joy riding at night without the lights. It is a hear-stopping experience. I guess I really want the car as a trophy show off to my coworkers. If I owned a BMW I would be the envy of the whole office.
  
  mark of pride = an important symbol or respect. 身份的象征。
  
  例句:Having a good watch is a mark of pride in some European countries.
  
  dote ... on = give all attention to 溺爱…… 倾其热情于…
  
  例句:Kyle loves his children—he is always doting on them and spoiling them.
  
  pedal to the metal = go as fast as possible 把汽车油门踩到最大 全速前进
  
  例句:Sue puts the petal to the metal when she drives long distances.
  
  heart stopping = thrilling, very frightening 令人震撼的 吓人的
  
  例句:Watching the boy fall off the cliff was a heart-stopping experience.
  
  show off = display with pride 炫耀
  
  例句:I am going to show off my spoken English to my brother when I get home.
  
  envy of the whole office = the entire office would be envious. 全办公室羡慕的对象
  
  例句:Tom’s boat was the envy of the whole office. Everyone wanted to ride in it.
