2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：一条好消息
Describe a piece of good news you received.
You should say:
When you received it
Where you received it
What the news was about
And explain how you felt about it after you received it
Some good news that I got recently was the news that my grandmother had recovered from a fairly serious illness. She has been ill, on and off, for a number of years, but this time she was really sick. I do not know exactly what the medical problem was, but it was quite serious and she had to be admitted to hospital for over a week. I was really worried because she’s pretty old, and as we all know, the older you are, the more difficult it is to deal with serious illness and the harder it is to make a good, speedy recovery. Anyway, after a week or so, she had an operation, and the doctors called us to inform us that it had gone really well and she had healed better than expected, and she was allowed to come home. This was great news and I felt massively relieved too, because, if I’m honest, there was a point when I thought she might die. So, it was a big day when we received this news and it made me really happy. We prepared a big meal and organized and cleaned the house, and made it as cozy as possible for her return. I think hearing the news of a family member’s recovery is probably one of the best types of good news a person can receive. Apart from maybe getting your final exam results and discovering you’ve done really well and can get into the university you wanted to get into! That’s also a very common piece of great news that people are elated to receive too, I guess.

1. When do companies should publicize new information to the public?
Companies usually publicise new information when they have a new product out. They usually do some kind of press release or something like that. It’s important that companies maintain a good relationship with the press and media and whenever there is a big change, like an IPO or a new product launch, or a take-over or a new CEO or something like this, they usually make some kind of external announcement to the public. Usually in the form of a press conference, an article in a newspaper or even a TV presentation. Apple are quite famous for giving quite big conferences before the launch of the latest model of iPhone or another key product, for example. This is what a lot of big companies usually do today.
2. When do we share good news with friends?
People often share good news with friends through a variety of means. It really depends entirely what kind of good news it is, when it comes and who it involves. Some good news is communicated by text message, some good news by a phone call. Other people, for example, if they are going to get married or something major like that, might actually arrange a big dinner with friends or family and then make a more formal announcement at that dinner – almost as a sort of surprise. This sometimes happens, too. So, it entirely depends on the kind of good news that we’re talking about, and how it affects the individuals in question.
3. How would you like to receive good news?
Again, it depends on the news. I’m a fairly laid-back person so frankly I don’t really stand on ceremony much – I’m happy to receive good news by phone, or by text, but generally I prefer to hear some really good news, especially if it’s sentimental or romantic, face-to-face. Like for example when my friend announced his engagement – he told me in person when we were walking in the park after lunch. It was a nice setting to hear such good news and it was quite touching, especially as it was a really sunny day and a beautiful park too. So, I guess if I was made to decide, I’d say that I prefer to receive particularly special good news face-to-face, in person.
4. Should companies release news online or in a real press conference?
Companies should ideally do both, as far as I’m aware. It’s not a subject I know an awful lot about really, because I don’t really follow much business and tech news, but I think that most companies often do both. They have some quite fancy and elaborate press conferences and events, as well as sometimes huge promotions on and offline. I think there is a lot of competition these days, too, which means that companies are increasingly aware that they have to have a range of marketing activities to keep their brand name high profile in potential customers minds. Press conferences are important because that’s when lots of journalists from key media outlets are invited and then those journalists go off and write articles, accompanied by high quality photos, and that helps to promote a company’s activities and new developments to the general public.
