2021年9月雅思口语新题part2&3：一个聪明解决问题的人范文

Describe a person who gave a clever solution to a problem.

You should say:

Who the person is

When you met this person

What the problem was

And explain why you think it was a clever solution

A person I know that gave a really ingenious solution to a problem was my friend, Eric. I remember the occasion well, actually. I had locked my keys in my flat, and couldn't get in through the door. So, the keys were inside, and we were stuck outside. I was in a real panic about it, because I desperately needed to get in, get my stuff and go to work. Plus, I had something really important to do at work that day. Eric, my friend, lived next door. He was an older guy who worked from home, so he was almost always in. I knocked on his door and explained my situation – my keys were locked in the house and I couldn't get in. He had a think about the situation for a short time, then he came up with a possible solution. He first asked me where my keys were. I said that I knew exactly where they were – they were in my trouser pocket of the trousers that I had taken off last night and left on the bed. He asked if my bedroom window was open. I said yes it was a little bit open, but of course there were bars on the window, so there was no way we could climb in through the window anyway. Plus, it was on the third floor, which made it even more difficult. So, climbing in was an impossibility. Eric said that he obviously knew there were bars on the windows, like all apartment windows in the city. But he had an idea… If he climbed out onto the window bars of the apartment below mine, with a long broom handle he could maybe reach the trousers with the broom handle and hook the jeans, and pull them out… rather like fishing! He then got some heavy-duty tape and taped a hook onto the end of the broom handle. Then, he confidently but carefully climbed out onto the bars of the second-floor window, and stretched his arm in through my window, through the bars, with the broom. After some effort, he managed to hook my jeans from the edge of the bed, and pull them out through the window. He then climbed back to safety. I thought this was a great solution to the problem. Eric was always full of good ideas. I'd met him when I first moved in to that apartment block. Which was quite a few years prior to this occasion. We became closer friends after this incident, and we often sit in the community garden and joke about it. I now always leave my bedroom window just a little bit open, just in case the same thing happens again. But I really hope that a burglar doesn't have the same idea as Eric.
