　　有段时间没有更新博客了,最近忙得简直是…… too busy to take a bloody breath!今天给大家补充一个09年9月的新话题卡的素材,这个话题卡比较抽象-描述一项最近学的有用的技能.选材可以很灵活,比如:swimming, driving, cooking, speaking a foreign language等等.主要突出USEFUL就可以了.

　　what the skill is/was: I recently learned how to drive. Driving is a useful skill because it allows me much greater mobility. I do not have to rely on public transportation or friends give me a lift to the places that I need to go. The bus is so crowded! Also, I am always fighting against the clock when I am on the bus-sometimes if there is a traffic jam I can be stuck on the bus for an hour. I am just not able to let that much time slip away.
