2雅思口语Part 2话题参考文本

One interesting old person that I have met is a 93-year-old woman named Ruth. Ruth has lived a remarkable life, full of adventures, and accomplishments. She grew up during the Great Depression and World War II, and her experiences during those times shaped her worldview and values. I met Ruth four years ago while she was walking her dog in a park near my home. We started having routine conversations after that and I was able to learn what a fascinating person she is.

Throughout her life, Ruth has been an avid traveler. She has visited over 50 countries and has countless stories to tell about her adventures. She has climbed mountains in Nepal, gone on safari in Africa, and backpacked through Europe in her 70s.

Ruth has also been a biblical Christian for most of her life and has dedicated much of her time and energy to volunteering and serving others for the cause of Jesus Christ.

One of the most impressive things about Ruth is her resilience. She has faced many challenges in her life, including the loss of her husband and several close family members. However, she has always remained optimistic and has never lost her sense of humor. She always credits her great resilience to her relationship with Jesus Christ.

Despite her advanced age, Ruth remains active and engaged with the world around her. When she is not sharing the truth of the Bible, Ruth enjoys watching old movies. She also stays up-to-date with current events and is passionate about advocating for causes that are important to her.

Overall, Ruth is an inspiring example of a life well-lived. Her adventurous spirit, biblical Christianity, and resilience in the face of challenges make her a fascinating and unforgettable person.
