一提到唐朝，大家能想到的一定是大唐盛世，贞观之治，万朝来贺，多元文化，诗仙李白，繁华的长安城，霸气的武则天!以上的任何几点稍微展开几句话，就可以把雅思口语里“重要的历史时期”这个话题搞定。尤其是最近看过《妖猫传》的娃们，点名就要说唐朝了!那我们就来搞一下吧：
I’d like to talk about Tang Dynasty, which is about over 1000 years ago.
This dynasty lasted for 300 years, but I’d like to talk about the most prosperous period of time in that dynasty.
Archaeology evidence shows that it used to be the most powerful country in the world, international students from all over the globe, especially Asia like Korea and Japan, would come to China to learn about the manners and art. Foreign businessmen flocked to China to do business with us. I guess the Silk Road has witnessed all of this. It’s fair to say that the capital city Chang An was the biggest metropolis in the world at that time.
The biggest feature of that dynasty is poetry and calligraphy. There are countless poets in Tang Dynasty, and they created so many far-reaching poems.
National leaders at that time were pretty open-minded and tolerant, and various religions were developed really fast and started to flourish in Tang Dynasty.
Today, there are quite a few movies and TV series based on stories that happened during that period of time, scriptwriters and directors all want to recreate that legendary dynasty. I guess it just goes to show how spectacular it was.
