雅思口语Part 2：在原始村庄生活是一种什么体验？

最近，雅思口语出了这样一道题“Describe a place in a village that you visited.”，这就不得不提到我很久以前的一次神奇之旅，我和朋友去到了美国一个非常淳朴和原始的村庄，那里没有电力，没有机器，所有的东西都是手工制作，非常有趣！你有没有过这样的经历？跟我一起聊一聊吧！

雅思口语Part 2：在原始村庄生活是一种什么体验？

这个地方的村民生活简单、衣着朴素，非常重视农活以及体力劳动，这个地方十分有趣，但是对我来说，我可不能接受在一个没有电的地方长期生活。

雅思口语Part 2话题：

Describe a place in a village that you visited

You should say:

Where it is

When you visited this place

What you did there

And how you feel about this place

雅思口语Part 2话题参考文本：

I remember long time ago, my friends and I went to NY and then drove to the Amish Village in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which took us about 3hours. We went there because we had always heard about how Amish people don’t use electricity and we wanted to find out if that is true or not.

The Amish people are a group of traditional Christians from Europe. They are known for simple living, plain dress, peaceful, and not using any modern technology. They are also 100 percent family oriented, prefer face-to-face conversations whenever possible, and constantly try to maintain self-sufficiency. The Amish value rural life, manual labor, humility and this is how we heard that some Amish villages today don’t even have electricity and they want to do everything manually, which means no machines.

So we got there and took a guided tour of an authentic 1840's Amish farmhouse and learned about their lifestyle. Then, after the farmhouse tour, we explored the town bit and rode the horse buggy. While having dinner there, we mingled with the locals and they are quite friendly. We asked them a lot of questions about how they perceive our modern lifestyle. Then the evening came, it is true that there was very little light in the town. So we decided not to spend the night there and drove back to NY under darkness.

It was a very interesting tour but I probably wouldn’t be able to accept a life without electricity.
