2009年10月10日雅思口语真题点评
Part 1
Part 1除了routine questions 如 study, work 之外，Part 2的题目被拿到了第一部分来讨论，形式上与part 3 相似。如：本月刚结束的10号的口语考题中有Advertisement，Reading，Fruits and Vegetables, Arts, Emails and Letters, News，Traveling，Gift，Sports, Leisure Time, Holidays 这些都是曾经作为话题卡在Part 2出现过的。问题的形式主要是：
1、过去和现在的对比，在Reading Topic中，题目如：
• Do you like reading?
• Did you like reading when you were a child?
（现在/过去是否喜欢读书）
• What sorts of books do you like to read?
• What did you like to read when you were a child?
（现在/过去喜欢读哪种书）
• What are the differences between what you read today, compared to when you were a child?
（现在读的书和小时候读的书的区别有哪些）
2、对某一种社会热点的看法和喜好，如traveling题目中问道：
• Why do you think traveling is so popular nowadays?
（为什么旅行这么流行）
• Which city or place that you have been to did you like the most?（最喜欢哪个地方）
• Which country would you like to travel to in the future?
（想去哪些地方旅行）
• What makes a place attractive for visitors?
（吸引旅游者的因素有哪些）
3、对比不同年龄人群的行为，如Leisure Time题目中问道：
• What kinds of leisure time activities are popular with young people today?
（年轻人现在比较喜欢那种休闲方式）
• Do older people like to do the same activities?
（老年人喜好的休闲方式与年轻人是否一样）
• Do you think modern people like to get together with others?
（现代人是否愿意跟朋友相聚）
可见在part 1部分，我们还是可见熟悉的话题，在问题的深度和广度上更近了一步。

１a person who once helped you

Part 2题目主要内容还是四大方面：人物、事物、地点、事件题目。其中考题以事物（抽象）题居多。题目形式采取：主干+附加条件。如人物题中１a person who once helped you 事物题中３A course you would like to learn when you have time 地点题中３.A place near the water that you always visited 事件题中５.A happy event in your childhood1７An interesting childhood event
人物题a famous person最近的重复率比较高，下面给出题目和参考例文：
Describe a famous person you would like to meet.
You should say:
Who this person is
How you first learned about him or her
How/why this person is famous
And explain why you would like to meet this person.
例文如下：
（who this person is）
A famous person I am so eager to meet is Yu Minhong who is the CEO of New Oriental School--the most successful training school in China. （主题句不用太冗长, better use a complex sentence）
(how you first learned about him or her)
If you happen to be interested in learning English, you probably have heard of his name through word of mouth. He successfully helped a lot of students to go abroad by getting a high marks on the examinations such as TOFEL, SAT, GRE etc. （介绍成就）
（how/why this person is famous）
To begin with, he is a very diligent learner. He had been dreaming of going to Peking University to study English as his major. Before he was taking the National College Entrance Examination, he memorized thousands of English words and expressions. By doing so, he finally got the highest mark on English Test that year in his hometown. Finally, he got the offer from Peking University and later became a teacher of English department. Till today, he keeps working really hard, which is the secret of his business’ success.
（and explain why you would like to meet this person）
In addition, he is a great orator. Once you hear his passionate speeches, you can’t help being attracted by his outgoing personality that seems contagious to his audience. Many times on TV I was quite impressed by his encouraging speeches made for students encouraging them to try their best to realize their dreams as long as they have enough time and effort. I think if I could have a chance to meet him in person, I would remember the moment forever and I would always keep his inspiring speeches in my mind.
All in all, I have long admired the success he had in the past 15 years, and I would like to take him as my role model encouraging me to make my dream come true one day in the future. （总结自己的感受）
注：例文中红色词为过渡词，他们在整个Part 2部分是极为重要的，可以使文章更连贯。
Part 3
Part 3部分关心的问题主要有三种：
一 现代社会的热门话题。如本次考试的Part 2题目a famous person，part 3 关于成名的一些问题，这些问题就现在社会的热点即普通人想一夜成名而谈的，尤其是在中国出现了超女，快男，快女这样的选秀电视节目之后，很多曾经的普通人（如李宇春，张靓影等）因此而走上星光大道。由此引发一系列思考：讨论成名好不好（Do you think it's good to be famous?）；还有思考成名的得失（What benefits do people get from being famous? Do you think people become a little "lost" when they become famous?）；和成名后可能有的改变（If you became famous, how do you think your life would change?）。
二 频繁的考比较和对比，如Part 2 中考A Car的Part 3 的问题是Compare the benefits of using a private car with the benefits of using public transportation （使用私家车和公共交通工具的利处对比）；
如Part 2中A Gift You Gave 的Part 3 的问题是What's the difference between giving a gift out of genuine friendship and giving a gift with some commercial goal in mind? （送朋友礼物和因为利益而送礼的区别）
三 ‘新’题型考察‘老’内容――个人喜好personal preference，出现了比较新鲜的形式：二选一。 以前的考题问的比较抽象，如 What do you think of…? 现在这种题型更加具体化了，这种新的题型跟托福口语考试的第二题很相似。如：
Which do you think is better, to give or to receive a gift?
(送礼物，收礼物哪个好)
Which do you think is better, big restaurants or small ones?
（大餐馆，小饭店哪个好）
Which do you think are more important, the skills that children learn at home or those they learn at school?
（小孩在家，在学校学的技能哪个更重要）
这种新题型可以采取相对答题法，即比较A和B谁好，那么可以在说A好的同时，说B不好，这样就可以打开思路，有话可讲。建议同学们可以在平时生活中多多积累自己对某一问题或社会现象的观点，辩证的看问题，多思考，多观察，建立自己的题库。
