1. If you were working, which would be more important for you, the happiness of work or the income of work? Analysis: 常考问题之一。对于大多数A类考生而言，工作也许是一个不太熟悉的考题，但是对此类假设性质的工作考题，考生也必须做好准备，从自身出发，设身处地的回答此类问题。 Sample Answer: I think happiness of work definitely outshines the income of work. As far as I am concerned, the happiness from work is more like a sense of satisfaction and achievement. It is something that can’t be measured in terms of money. But of course, the happy we are talking about here is based on a prerequisite that the pay is great. 2. What is the weather like in your hometown? Analysis: 常考问题之一。同类问题：What is the weather like in your hometown? Sample Answer: The weather in Changsha is very extreme; people can only feel about two seasons, the summer and the winter, the summer is so hot, while the winter is freezing cold. 3. Describe something expensive you want to buy in the future What will want to buy? What it will look like How much it will cost And explain why you'd like to buy it Analysis: 这道题是机经题库里的一道常规考题，这道题目可以和别的题目进行互相转换，describe a vehicle you want to buy in future, 这是一道常规的物品题，按照描述物品的一般步骤进行简单的说明即可，以下例文仅做参考。 Sample: In terms of the expensive thing I want to buy, I am sure it must be the BMW SUV, short for sports utility vehicle. It is my favorite car type. I am really desperate to get one in the near future. In order to make my dream come true sooner, I even take 2 part-time jobs to earn money. It may be not as good- looking as other cars, but as it is suggested by its name, BMW SUV is for utility and very practical. Also, it is very cool and fantastic to me. I love to travel on my own car. Isn’t cool when you drive your own car with a back pack on the back seats? SUVs have stronger horsepower than many other light-weight vehicles, which is ideal for long distance travel even in tough road conditions. Furthermore, I don’t have to worry about the safety of the car that is born for running. The price for SUVs varies from brands to brands. But generally speaking, they are more expensive than common sedans for their compact and speedy functions. Due to its large horsepower capability, it would certainly emit more greenhouse gas. While BMW SUV can run on alternative fuel so as to reduce the negative impact on environment. Right now I haven’t got enough to buy it, but after several years of working, I believe I will be economically competent to buy one. Let’s hope this day would come soon. 4. Describe your favorite song. You should say: What your favorite song is What the content is When did heard this song And explain why you were attracted by this song Analysis: 在2012年1月至今的考试中，MEDIA一直是一个永恒不变的考题，每次考试我们都会发现在考试过程中会插入几个媒体类的考题，本题要求同学们描述一首自己喜欢的歌，在描述过程中，可以介绍歌词大意，并特别点出为什么喜欢这首歌，一定要注意的就是不能原封不动的跟考官背诵歌词，这是不允许的，以下例文仅做参考。 Sample: My favorite song is Hero sung by Mariah Carey, a brilliant American pop singer. When I first heard this song, I was deeply moved by the melody and the lyric. The lyrics are always lingering in my mind, “when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong, you will finally see the truth that hero lies in you.” Dreams are hard to come true, but people stick to pursuit them. The song is really inspiring. I am sure every one of us will encounter many difficulties in our life. I heard it when I was in a bookstore. I bought the album. Now I remembered the song in my heart. When I meet difficulties, I will use the lyric of the song to encourage myself. |
| 雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导 |
Analysis: 2012年8月25日是8月份的最后一场考试，9月份，按照雅思考试官方历年来的习惯，雅思口语考题会出现一些小的变动，很多考生一直在担心是否会有新题的出现，其实纵观2012年1月至8月的雅思考试，我们可以清楚的看到，新题的出现几率并不大，2012年前8个月份的雅思口语考题的出题情况是相对稳定的，同学们在备考过程中首先是需要准备好机经题库里现有的话题，其次要准备好面对一些较难的题，雅思口语考试并未要求学生对于考试中的话题，有着深刻的了解，它是一门重英语交流能力，而不是内容的口语考试。当然，在考试的过程中，学生会不可避免的碰到令其哑口无言的话题，如：Describe a piece of furniture in your room. Describe a handicraft.等等。针对这些比较难的话题，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家建议如下： 一、减少描述，增加议论。例如describe a teacher who has greatly influenced you这一话题，按照中式的思维方式，描述一个人，考生大多会想要去描述其外貌：健硕的身材，长长的睫毛，粉嫩的脸颊等等。首先不讨论考生能否都将这些中文描述成对应的英文，除非是口语基础相当不错的考生，不然挑这些内容去讲无疑是搬起石头砸自己的脚。其实这个时候，考生不仅可以介绍teacher的年龄，兴趣爱好，及其性格特征，而且可将答题的重点放在influence上，并通过阐述一个具体的example来证明这个老师是如何影响你的。而在描述一件家具的时候，就可以适当增加议论和评论了。对于颜色，可以增加的内容是The reason why I chose this color is that it matches well with my bathroom. What’s more, white is my favorite color, which means purity, you know. 除了颜色，我们也能说下它的大小。It is one meter high, so that I can put it in the corner, which takes only a little space. 由此可见，评论性的语言通常比描述更为具体，可以看作是对前一句的补充说明或者是例证拓展。这种对于每一点信息都要给出议论的习惯一定要养成，可以使我们说话的内容顿时翻倍。 二、变抽象为具体。很多考生觉得口语话题抽象难讲，如describe a success in your life. 大多数考生看到这个题目，通常认为这个success一定是较为光鲜的事迹，进而发现在自己身上找不到合适的素材。其实转念一想，将success具体化，看作是successfully did something, 这样构思就会容易许多。如自己多年坚持不懈所搜集到的collection, 这就与part 1中collection这一话题连接在一起了。或者也可以说successfully made a handicraft, 然后就借用准备过的handicraft的内容，着重阐述是如何做好这个handicraft的，转移过来就可以了。再比如说6月的考题describe an electronic product, 我们在阐述它是如何改变我们的生活时，可能会想到it has dramatically changed our lives and brought a great deal of convenience to our work or study. 除了这些抽象笼统的空话，我们也可以用一些detail来证明它是如何change our lives, 又带来了什么具体的convenience。（假若这里说的是ipad,我们可以说fruit ninja is my favorite game, after a whole day’s work, this game can help me relieve heavy stress without thinking. Coz what I need to do is just to cut the various fruits by avoiding the bomb. I would like to say it is really the best way for me to get relaxed.）只有这样才能使我们的口语答案不屈于大流，从而在众多的考生中脱颖而出，赢得高分。 尽管我们的雅思题库在不断的扩展，不断有新题涌现，但是其实只要掌握了以上一些语言延伸的技巧，其实是可以帮助考生在雅思口语考试中应付自如的。雅思备考的过程中，一定要学会举一反三，只有这样，才能帮助我们实现“事半功倍”的目标。朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家在多次与雅思口语考官进行访谈后，建议所有考生一定要加强对口语的练习，在考前一个月左右要进行集中强化的练习，从语音语调，语言组织和连贯性上进行练习，并且各位考生一定要熟悉考试前三个月内的所有口语考题，做好准备，以不变应万变！ |
