SPEAKINGPart 2 想了解的历史时期
在今天的文章里我们来聊一聊当即雅思口语Part 2的一个难题——A historical period you want to know more about。
这个题目的难点在于很多同学对历史了解甚少，如果挑选了某个时期，在描述时却不知道到底想了解它的什么。但其实，我们可以在这个题目中融合一些其他题目（类型）的内容，则可以让自己多说一些。
针对这个题目，老师给大家分享一篇参考范文，希望对小伙伴们有所启发：

Well, my interest in this specific period comes from one of thehighest gossiping blockbusters, Jurassic Park. I still remember I first watched the film years ago. I was so amazed by the scene in the movie: a safari amusement park ofdense jungles, high mountains, wild rivers, and variousgenetically engineered dinosaurs.【从何时开始对这个时期感兴趣的，可结合看电影、阅读、旅游、社交网络上的短视频、自己的专业等描述。】
