雅思口语素材：Queen's Day in Holland(荷兰女王节)

　　Another money spinner to be found during Queens Day is three or four oranges in a bucket of water. You place a coin on the orange, if it stays there for more then four seconds you get double the money back. Be warned, the orange rarely loses!

The music teachers tyranny finally reaps its fruit when children finally get the chance to play to a public other than their family or friends. Violins, Cellos and a large percentage of typical wooden flutesdrown outthe usual sounds of birds singing in the trees, or rather they have fled the sound of horsehair bows and catgut strings crying for mercy.
