3. Do you think we should plant more trees?

Yeah. Since we are suffering from the poor air condition and the ever worse global warming, trees are our lifesavers. The more trees we plant, the better environment we and our next generation could live.（这是个比较大的话题，一些特殊的表述如加黑部分应该熟悉）

雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导

2013年8月24日的口语考试整体难度还是比较适中的，不是非常难。其中第一部分题目大部分是常规题，也有部分新题和难题。新题例如trees, 还有一部分抽象话题，例如concentration, patience, 都应该仔细思考思路，因为题目本身就是同学们平时涉猎不多，且用英语口语难以表述的，所以要积累词汇和思路。

就第二部分而言，大多数题目也是比较常规的，但仍有一些比较难的题目，如果事先没有准备过的考生会答的比较吃力，例如a sport event, team project等。 这些话题都需要事先有所思考，理清思路，方可在考场上挥洒自如。以体育事件为例，同学们如果单独准备可能会比较难想，但大家可以把视线转移到运动员上，例 如，如果出色的运动员选择刘翔，那么体育事件可以选择北京奥运会，雅典奥运会，将两道题合二为一，将是不错的选择，既兼顾了效率，也兼顾了难度。
