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. 很好的結合
　　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.

　　spruced-up = clean, looking nice. 干凈的、清潔的
　　例句：I spruced up my room before my mom came home.
　　pigsty = messy, untidy, dirty 臟的 亂的
　　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 貴的
　　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 有錢的 富有的
　　例句：Kim is loaded, she is very rich.
　　In light of = acknowledging … 考慮到…
　　例句：In light of gas prices, I suggest we walk.
　　shell out = spend 花、花費
　　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.

　　heart stopping = thrilling, very frightening 令人震撼的 嚇人的
　　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. 全辦公室羨慕的對象
　　例句：Tom’s boat was the envy of the whole office. Everyone wanted to ride in it.
