　　新航道2017年1月12日雅思考试回忆新鲜出炉，刚刚参加完考试的小烤鸭们一起来对对答案吧!

　　重点话题sample answer

　　Describe an experience of good service in a shop or restaurant.

　　You should say:

　　What the service was

　　When and where it happened

　　How you felt about it

　　And explain why you think it was a good service.

　　The topic really reminds me of an unforgettable experience a couple of years ago when I visited Scotland. On one day during that trip, when I was wandering together with my two close friends on the street in Edinburgh, we had something very typical in a local restaurant. We ordered the national dish of Scotland, called Haggis. Haggis is a savoury pudding, containing sheep's pluck including heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion. Traditionally, the pudding is encased in the animal's stomach, but nowadays it’s often packed in an artificial casing.

　　Frankly speaking, I was kind of uncomfortable when I saw Haggis for the first time. It really scared me at first, and I was even almost ready to give up eating it, but my friends forced me to have a bite. Well, unexpectedly, after a bite, I would say it wasn’t not so bad, it just looked sort of disgusting. It tasted pretty great, especially when it’s mixed with some spicy ingredients. Normally, I don’t like cuisine of this kind, but this special pudding did impress me. More importantly, it was served with some whisky. It turned out to be a delicious meal.
