本次考试考题精选范例解析：

1. Are you living in a flat or house?

What is your place like?

Sample answer:

Well, I’m living in a flat which is located in the city centre. It’s a duplex flat with two floors. There is a living room and a kitchen on the first floor where we usually do some family activities. Bedrooms are all on the second floor, including my parents and mine as well as a guest room. It’s quite spacious and cozy.

解析：上面两道题其实为同一道题。考生在听到第一个问题时要自觉回答第二个问题，不要等考官再提问。

�

2. Which room do you like most?

解析：此问题要求考生回答一个选项，重点在于解释原因。

Sample answer:

Well my bedroom is my favorite since it’s my private place in my house. It’s on the south side, so I can get the sun easily. Besides, there is a balcony attached to my room, which enables me to do some leisure activities in my spare time, like keeping some houseplants.

�

3. Where do young people usually live?

解析：此问题着重考察考生的逻辑，如果单纯的回答一个地方，那么答案会无法展开而略显简单。所以考生可以使用it depends的格式回答，可适当扩充答案。

Sample answer:

Well I guess it depends. For those who have a job, it’s more likely for them to live in a flat in the downtown, usually with their friends or colleagues. While for some students, it seems most of them live on campus in dormitories with their classmates. That’s because it’s more convenient for them to have go to the classroom or have some group activities.

�

4. What are the differences between house and flat?

解析：此问题除了要答出house和flat的不同之处，另一个考点则为连贯度，要适当使用连词，使结构更加明显。

Sample answer:

Well I guess there are plenty of distinctions related to this. First of all, if you live in a flat, you usually live in a building with many neighbors, you don’t own the whole building. Whereas in contrast, if you live in a house, usually it belongs to your family, people living in it are all your family members. On top of that, it’s unlikely for you to have your own yard or garden if you live in a flat in a community. But there’s usually a yard attached to a house, so you can convert it into your personal garden.

雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导

拿雅思口语第一部分的考题来讲，自从2013年1月换题之后，整个难度已经有所提升，话题的范围更加广阔，不再只限于个人信息的方面。

很多之前出现在第三部分的题目直接提到了第一部分来考，比如之前存在于第二部分的museum话 题，现在直接提到了第一部分。也增加了一些小众的爱好话题，例如树木、时间安排等。然而在占分数比例方面，第一部分却是比较小的。但是如果考生想要得到不 错的口语成绩，第一部分的分数也是不容小觑的。在准备第一部分的时候，考生不能只把目光局限在个人信息方面，要多看素材，多方面把握。

�

相对于第一部分的偏难，第二部分的话题却呈现了重复的趋势。拿5月份的新题来看，我们会发现很多几年前考过的话题又原题拿出来考，例如：Describe a job you want to do. 剩下的新题，也有大批只是旧貌换新颜而已，仅仅只是把关键词前的修饰词换掉。比如2012年9月的题目Describe a historical event, 新题只是加了一个interesting在前面。对于第二部分来说，考生可结合之前的考题一起准备，可以准备一个万能话题，哪怕换了修饰词也是可以用的。此外，第二部分的话题也有向细节发展的趋势。很多话题由于重复考，已经失去了描述的意义，所以雅思官方把眼光放向了细节。例如，以前的电影话题只是：Describe a movie you like. 而现在的话题偏向a movie based on real story, a film about future等，这就是在考察电影的分类了。建议考生在准备的时候，选取比较具体的话题来描述，这样哪怕遇到了比较泛的话题，也是可以采用准备过的。

�

以 前很多考生都会忽视第三部分，认为在第二部分结束的时候考官评分已经完成。然而现在第三部分的分数比重在持续上升，使得第三部分也不容忽视。通常来说，第 三部分的考题会涉及比较深的层次，社会、科学、环保等话题的考察方式会让考生觉得很像在考作文。这就要求考生的思维要灵敏，并且思路要清晰。由于第三部分 问题的难度较大，很多考生没办法及时回答考官问题，比较建议考生在回答的时候采用总分的结构。先总的来点题，从而争取一定的时间来思考观点。

�

总体来说，雅思口语的考题在往偏难的方向发展，考生日常除了要准备话题，还建议多去逛逛外文网站，看看外国人的观点。多看新闻，增加自己的知识面。定期去澳际海外考试研究中心官网，以及各大雅思论坛逛逛，可以把握考试的动态。
