本次考试考题精选范例解析以及技巧表达：

1. 拒绝“肤浅”思路，弘扬细节描述和情感流露

考过雅思口语考试的烤鸭们应该知道，在口语考试中我们会遇到一些很无语，啼笑皆非的问题，这样的问题听起来如此之简单以至于烤鸭们的回答都会千篇一律，没有办法走出怪圈。

Sample �Question:

Do you like sunshine?

很多烤鸭们当下的反应可能是阳光给我们温暖，让我们开心，喜欢做很多户外运动，相比之下，并没有体现出观点的独特性和新颖性，所以也很难让考官给出更高的分数。在这里，我们可以把重心放在sunshine下的优美风景和内心感受。

Sample �Answer:

Sunshine is always attractive �to me. Especially in sunny days of spring when life comes alive in �everything, I’d like to go hiking with friends in the mountain or go for a �walk in the park where I could be exposed to songs of birds and buds swelling �on the vine.

2. 话题串讲，变多为少

这也是笔者在实际教学中一直在强调的思路和雅思口语话题准备的技巧，尤其是Part 2部分出现的丰富话题，我们可以充分运用自己准备过的话题来解决看似比较陌生的话题。

Sample �Question:

Describe a competition you want �to take part in.

Describe a group activity you �took part in at college.

有很多小想法的烤鸭们可能会选择描述辩论赛，歌唱比赛，或者是野外考察，如果烤鸭们很擅长这些方向，我并不反对。不过个人建议，烤鸭们可以充分串讲雅思口语话题，引申到部分相关的问题，比如说A sport event you took part in or watched on TV.

Sample �Answer:

As a big fan of sports, I have �watched dozens of both domestic and international sport events so far, among �which, the most impressive/unforgettable one should be the International Pair �Figure Skating Tournament that I watched on TV around 4 years ago.

It was the final of the �International Pair Figure Skating Tournament that captured people’s attention �and imagination. Actually, I am not a big skating fan, and I even used to be �fear of skating which is like an impossible mission for me. But 4 years ago �when I turned on TV and watched the sport event by chance, I was totally �amused by the performance of the elite skaters from different countries like �Sweden, Russia and China competing for the championship. Their gracul and �fluid footwork was very impressive, when the female skater spun around her �partner, she was like a lightsome butterfly. And what was the climax of the �event for me was the moment when Chinese athletes Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo �entered the rink. I was extremely surprised to see Chinese faces who are the �top pair of staters in China. With great excitement and expectation, I �concentrated all my attention on the screen. They fortlessly executed every �element in their programme: difficult throws, spins and a high triple-twist. �Their rarely seen forward-outside death spiral earned them prolonged applause �from the audiences and a higher mark than the proceeding athletes.

International Pair Figure �Skating Tournament was really a visual feast which is filled with magic and �miracle. Although it always comes with success and failure, the spirit and �fort that athletes show us tell us how important it is for us to rise to �the challenge and never compromise on difficulties and fear.

当然对于两个话题，部分细节是需要调整和修改的，烤鸭们可以将自己所写的文章做适当改变，就可以一下子解决三个话题了。

雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导

从考试难度系数来看，10月19日的雅思口语考试相对来说比较简单。上个月出现的新题预料性的再次出现，比如说艺术品，家族生意等，不过新题在整个题库中出现的频率并不高，只有为数不多的烤鸭们遇到了这些话题。相比之下，最近几个月出现的雅思口语题库中的一些老题依然受到考官的青睐，比如说history, 本次在Part 1出现的关于历史的问题完全是Part 2话题的引申，a party也和Birthday息息相关。Sports话题更是愈演愈烈，比如Going for a walk, riding the �bicycle, a sport event you watched等等。烤鸭们需要注意的是，从本场口语考试的内容以及历年雅思口语考试的趋势来看，部分话题可能在最近几个月重新回到雅思口语中来。笔者根据自己多年的教学经验做出如下总结，希望能够给接下来几个月要参加雅思口语考试的烤鸭们提供最大的帮助：

Part �1: Flowers, Colors, Birds, Newspaper, Drive

Part �2: A child, A sports star you like, A shop you often go to, A historical �building, A university, A wild animal, A vehicle you like, A piece of law, A �handicraft you made, A children’s song you know

此外，本次口语考试体现出话题的灵活性，Part 1的问题被移到Part 3,而有些Part 2话题引申出来的问题也与热门话题有紧密联系，比如说A special meal you had, 第三部分却是关于history的问题，这里体现了雅思口语考试要求考生对于话题准备的全面性和灵活性，大家要在备考时有条理性的准备口语热门话题。
