2022年1月雅思口语新题part2&3：你家里坏了又修好的设备范文

Describe a piece of equipment in your home that you broke and then fixed.

You should say:

What it is

How you broke it

How you fixed it

And explain how you felt about it

A piece of domestic equipment that broke once, that I managed to fix myself, in fact, was… not really a piece of equipment exactly, but I think it counts, anyway… It was a problem with the tiles in my shower. This may sound a bit strange, but I didn't want to call a workman to come out – because they are never on time, they always charge too much, or you have to argue about the price and … well… I quite like fixing things, actually. I remember my uncle was really good at fixing and mending stuff around the home, so I think I get this tendency from him.

Anyway, my shower tiles had lost a lot of their grouting and some were coming off the walls altogether. I don't really know how they came off – perhaps just through time and not being repaired sooner. In fact, one had already fallen off the wall, but had not entirely broken, just cracked. I went to the local hardware shop, and talked to the man in there, and took his advice and bought a type of grouting. Grouting is like a sort of cement in a little pot that you use to put under and between bathroom tiles – after about 24 hours it dries hard and keeps the tiles in place and seals them from getting water behind them, which then causes them to fall off. I found a video online of someone doing this with their own bathroom tiles, followed their steps and did it myself. I was very pleased with the process and the result. I felt a great sense of satisfaction from repairing something myself, rather than just calling someone up and getting them to come. It took a few hours, and I listened to music while I was doing it. I quite like this kind of thing. I think that more people should learn to fix things themselves, actually. It's good to develop these basic skills.
