口语话题练习：Bags

常见的包的种类有：handbag（手提包），backpack（背包）， crossbody bag（斜挎包）, shopping bag(购物袋), clutches（手拿包）等。

人们愿意买包的原因可以是它的昂贵而奢华 (expensive and luxurious)、物美价廉 (reasonable price and useful) 和时尚 (trendy or fashionalble) 等。对于出门带不带包的问题，回答可以是经常带包，因为带包会让人有安全感 (sense of security/feel secured with bag) 或者强迫症 (OCD， obsessive-compulsive disorder) 等，还有的人不带包，把手机揣在裤兜，裤兜就是Pocket of my trousers。考生讲得合理即可。

Q：What kind of bags do you like to buy?

A：I am most fond of purchasing handbags because there are a multitude of fashionable brands and styles. When I go shopping, it is satisfying to mix and match the handbags with my clothing. Similarly, when my friends accompany me, we can give each other advice about the designs and it is a gratifying process.

我最喜欢买手提包，因为有很多时尚的品牌和款式。当我去购物的时候，把包包和衣服搭在一起给我一种满足感。同样的，当我的朋友陪伴在我身边的时候，我们可以互相对包包的款式和设计提出建议，这是一个让人满足的体验。
