☆ Pay 薪酬

☆ Personal Relationship 人际关系

☆ Working Environment 工作环境

☆ Difficulty 工作难易程度

☆ Satisfaction 工作满意度

如果考生能够把以上内容结合得很好地说出来，那么考官就会觉得考生思路非常清晰，会给考官留下比较好的印象，为得高分打下良好的基础。

接下来看一下与工作相关的问题的Sample Answer。

1. Are you a student or do you work?

Sample Answer:

A: I currently work in an international forwarding company as Key Account Manager.

B: Well, I am a full-time student at the moment and I haven’t worked yet.

C: I am a housewife and I don’t work outside. I take care of the whole family.

2. What are your main responsibilities at work?

Sample Answer: As a Marketing Manager, I work to develop a strategic plan for the line of business, building on available skills of the organization to facilitate the transition to an e-business vendor and create promotional materials to market programs.

3. Do you want to change your job?

Sample Answer:

A: I don’t think I will change my job. Generally, I’m pretty satisfied with my current job. Good position, high pay and more important, promising future. The position offers a lot of opportunities for studying new ideas and skills.

B: Yes. The company I am with now is kind of lags behind the times in many ways, such as the technology and management. I want to work in a place where they teach new skills and offer better prospects of employee’s self-development.

除了工作和学习的基本信息外，Home也是考官经常问到的基本信息。Home包含了三个方面的考试点：Hometown（家乡），Accommodation（家庭的住宅情况）和Neighbour（邻居）。首先来关注Hometown的相关真题及回答思路。

家乡的地点

☆ Where do you come from?

☆ Where do you live at the moment?

回答这个问题的时候除了要注意把城市的名字说清楚之外，还要说明这个城市在中国所处的位置，人口多少，是否喜欢这个城市，城市中的交通、教育和娱乐等一系列的相关信息。

关于考生自己的家乡的总体信息。

What’s that place like?

Tell me something about your hometown.

What would you recommend a tourist see in your hometown?

Is that a big city or a small town (or a village in the countryside)?

Do you prefer to live in a big city or in the countryside?

What benefits are there from living in a big city?

在准备这些题目的时候要注意把家乡最有特色的东西说出来，包括建筑、人们的友好程度、风景名胜等有具体内容的东西。而且还要注意雅思口语考试考官常问的问题“Do you prefer to live in a big city or in the countryside?”。这个问题有点像Part 3的风格的问题，但是在Part 1考生就要准备好回答这样类型的题目，我建议从以下几个方面来说：

★空气质量 ★教育普及

★基础设施（医院、学校等） ★生活方式

★交通便利 ★人际关系

★生存压力

如果考生具备上面7个切入点，那么有关城乡差别的话题就会很好掌控。

来看这个话题中的其他真题：

家乡类问题中所牵涉的一般过去时和过去完成时。

How long have you been living there / here?

Did your family ever move away from the place you were born? (Why? / Why not?)

(Similar to above) Has your family always lived in that city / town?

Has your hometown changed much in the past few years? (e.g. the past 10 to 50 years)

Compared to the past, would you say your hometown today is more suitable for living in, or less suitable?

考生在回答此类题目的时候要特别注意语法的使用，也就是过去时态和现在时态结合使用，至于内容上，也就是刚刚所提到的几个方面，即交通、教育和生活方式等。

还有以下一些：

关于家乡话题的将来展望以及交通问题。

Do you plan to live there / here for a long time?

Have you ever thought about moving to live somewhere else? (Why? / Why not?)

What (other) city would you like to live in (in the future)?

What’s the traffic situation like in your hometown?

(Similar to above) Is transportation very convenient in your hometown?

(Similar to above) Is transportation very convenient around where you live?

相对于过去时而言，对将来时的使用考生应该有比较好的掌控力，而在内容上这个部分的真题也不难，除了前面所讲的一些内容之外还应加上留学以后是否回到家乡或者留在国外工作的相关内容。

接下来大家来看有关Accommodation（家庭的住宅情况）的相关真题。

Do you live in a house or a flat?

What are the benefits (or advantages) of living in a flat / house?

How are the rooms in your house decorated?

What’s your favourite room in your home? (Why?)

How do you think your home (your house or your flat) could be improved?

If you could change one thing in your apartment, what would it be?

有关a house or a flat的问题是雅思口语考试经常考到的题目。对于这个问题，考生主要要了解house和flat的区别：house就是指一幢大房子，比如别墅这种类型的；而flat就是指高楼里面的套房包括卧室和客厅组成的单元。了解了两者的区别以后就要注意真题中问到的两者的优势，包括：House的优势：空间大，房间多，私人空间多，不同功能的房间，比如书房、客厅、健身房、餐厅和影音室，还有附属设施，比如花园。

Flat的优势：价格便宜，交通便利，大多数的地点在市中心，离工作地点或者学校距离较近等。

由此可见，思路组织是非常重要的，如果考生有以上的思路，回答起来会非常流畅。

这个板块的另外一个问题是房间的装饰和如何改善居住的地方，对于这方面问题，考生的回答不用太过于专业，而是一些生活类内容的直接表达就可以。

房间的装饰：木制的家具、油画、电器设备、窗帘、房间的颜色等几个方面。

如何改善居住的地方：种植更多的植物，比如花朵之类的，更换房间的颜色，购买更多古典的或者现代的家具，设置专门用途的房间，比如书房等几个方面。

Neighbour也是Home类别话题中一个特殊的小板块，雅思口语考官对于这个部分也有相关的具体问题，先来看一下有关Neighbour的真题。

Do you know your neighbours?

Do you think it’s necessary to know your neighbours?

What do you think of your neighbours?

How do you get along with your neighbours?

How often do you talk to (or see) your neighbours?

Do you prefer to have young people as your neighbours, or old people?

Do you think it’s important to have a good relationship with your neighbours?

What are the benefits of having good relationships with one’s neighbours?

What sorts of problems (conflicts) can people have with their neighbours?

In what ways can neighbours help each other?

来从以下两个方面入手：

认识邻居的必要性：原因包括人际关系的改善，生活中的互相帮助，如老年人的照顾，儿童的照顾，发生疾病时的互相帮助等。

邻居是老年人好还是年轻人好：老年人做邻居的好处是生活经验丰富，有问题可以及时请教。 年轻人做邻居的好处是生活方式和兴趣爱好相同，比较容易相处。

如果考生在思路上把握这两个方面就能应付以上的所有问题了。
