本期节目话题背景
最近，有同学问了我这样一道题“Describe an item of clothing that someone gave you”，这道题让我想起了我之前的一个学生送给我的一件Perry Ellis的领带。我非常感激那位学生的礼物，但是我一次都没有佩戴过这条领带，这是为什么呢？我们一起来聊聊吧！
在描述这个话题时，不仅要说明这件服饰是什么，还要讲清楚是谁给送给自己的，以及什么时候送的，最重要的是，不要忘记说清楚收到这件东西的理由哦。

I remember several years ago, a girl gave me a tie on my birthday. She was a student in my training school and very friendly. But her taste in fashion I suppose is completely different from mine. I think the reason she gave me this tie is because I usually wear many different ties with different colors patterns and fabrics. So she thought it would be a good birthday gift, which I really appreciate.
So, when she gave me the tie, I was really happy but I didn’t really open it right in front of her because I was told it is rude in China to open the gift in front of the giver. Maybe I was mistaken. But anyway, I opened it at home and found out it was a green tie, and the green looks atrocious. The brand is Perry Ellis, I still remember, which is a good American clothing brand, but I wouldn’t say it is a designer brand.
I mean, I am not picky about brands, but the tie just looks ugly. Number one it is too wide, and looks like something my grandpa used to wear in the 1970s. Number two, it is a light and bright green which is extremely difficult to match with shirts and suits.
Therefore, I have never worn the tie, not even once and she constantly asked me why I had never worn the tie. So to be polite, I told her a white lie that I will only wear it on special occasions.
