二雅思口语考试三部分真题范例 Part 1 (4-5minutes)
二雅思口语考试三部分真题范例 Part 1 (4-5minutes) What’s your full name please? May I have your ID card, please? Now, in the first part, I’d like to ask you some questions about yourself. Let’s first talk about your hometown. What kind of city is your hometown? What’s it famous for? What do you like about the city? What do you dislike about it? Ok. Let’s move on to the topic of driving. Do/Can you drive? What age do you think is the best for getting a driving license? Do you think school should provide driving lessons for students? Now, let’s talk about something else. Do you prefer writing by hand or writing using the computer? Do you think handwriting is still important today? How can children today improve their handwriting?

备注：这部分属于聊天性质，说话应尽量自然，简单，随意一些，不可成段背诵从书上抄来的书面语。 one-word answer应避免。考生应首先对考官的问题做出回应，然后再说上两三句话。考官随时可能打断你，因为他必须控制考试的时间，所以你不用担心，静静听下一个问题就是了。

Part 2 (3-4 minutes) Describe someone you know who is good at cooking You should say: who this person is how you know him or her what kinds of food s/he cooks and explain how (you think) this person became so good at cooking.

备注：卡片由考官选择，不是考生自己选择。在拿到卡片后，考生有一分钟思考准备时间。考官会给你纸笔作笔记。做笔记可以采取你喜欢的任何方式。如果卡片看不懂，可以问考官，但考官可以不作答。一分钟结束后，考官会告诉你可以开始讲了。在你说话的过程中，考官只听不说。你说完后，考官一般会接着问一两个后续问题，只需简单作答即可。第二部分结束后，考官将收回卡片，笔和草稿纸。

Part 3 (4-5 minutes) Subtopic 1: Chinese food and western food How does western food like KFC impact (on) traditional Chinese food? Do you think traditional Chinese food will be more popular in the future? In your view, how is western food different from Chinese food? Subtopic2: eating at home In your country, do family members often eat at home together? Do you think it important for people to eat at home? Subtopic3: food safety Is food safety a serious problem in your country? Do schools and universities provide healthy food for students in your country?

备注：这部分的考试模式和第一部分是一样的，一问一答。这部分的问题不再是关于你个人的情况了，通常是一些常见的社会话题。这部分属于讨论性质，所以考官很可能会接着你的话茬往下问，或者对你的观点提出反驳。这部分的问题是由第二部分决定的。如果第二部分你描述的是一首歌，那么第三部分问的问题都会和音乐有关。这部分不需要大家说多少，三四句话也就够了，就是提出自己的观点，论证一两句，就结束了。当然，你要是有话说，那是多多益善。这部分很多同学都会出现听不懂问题的情况，因为单词难度增加了，这时候不要慌，你可以让考官给你解释，也可以让考官重复一遍问题，实在不行了，就让考官问下一个问题。这部分要表现得好点，没有一定的语言底子是不可能的，六分以下的同学应多积累相关话题词汇。

四雅思口语考试评分标准（一）九个分数等级描述
四雅思口语考试评分标准（一）九个分数等级描述雅思考试采用国际认可的9分制评分系统，准确反映考生的语言水平。每个分数级别有对应的描述。总分可以是整数分或半分。九个分数段及其描述如下： 9分专家水平具有完全的英语运用能力，做到适当、精确、流利并能完全理解语言。 8分优秀水平能将英语运用自如,只是有零星的错误或用词不当。在不熟悉语境下可能出现误解，可将复杂细节的争论掌握的相当好。 7分良好水平能有效运用英语,虽然偶尔出现不准确、不适当和误解。大致可将复杂的英语掌握的不错，也能理解详细的推理。 6分合格水平大致能有效运用英语，虽然有不准确、不适当和误解发生但能使用并理解比较复杂的英语，特别是在熟悉的语境下。

5分基础水平可部分运用英语，在大多数情况下可明白大致的意思。虽然经常出现错误，但在经常涉及的领域内可应付基本的沟通。
4分有限水平只限在熟悉的状况下有基本的理解力，在理解与表达上常发生问题，无法使用复杂英语。 3分极有限水平在极熟悉的情况下也只能进行一般的沟通，频繁发生沟通障碍。 2分初学水平除非在熟悉的语境下，几乎只能使用孤立单词或短句表达最基本的信息，不能达成有效沟通。难以听懂或者看懂英语。 1分不懂英语最多能说出个别单词，根本无法用英语沟通。 0分考生缺席缺乏评分依据。

（二）四个具体的评分依据 1. 流利度： 7分：多数问题能不假思索地进行回答，偶有停顿的地方，但不会超过5秒钟。而且，考生出现停顿也主要是因为在思考说什么，而不是在想某个词怎么说。 6分：在自己熟悉的领域能比较顺畅的交流，在不熟悉的领域会出现较长时间的停顿。 5 分：只是在自己最熟悉的领域能展示一定的流利度，即：连续说上几个句子。流利度的本质：就是考生连续说话的能力：正常语速 + 正常停顿

2. 词汇： 7分：考生具备相当好的词汇广度，应此也基本准确到位。 6分：考生在自己熟悉的领域能展示一定的词汇广度，用词常用不准确，不恰当的地方，但基本不影响理解。 5分：考生的能熟练使用的词汇，不管是量还是质都明显不足，经常因为想不起某个词而停顿。而且，用词单调，过于简单。

3. 语法： 7分：考生能熟练使用各种常见语法结构，而且基本准确，在使用复杂的语法结构时偶有错误。 6分：考生基本语法能较为熟练准确适用，偶有错误，但不影响交流；能使用一些较为复杂的语法结构，如定语从句，但不是很准确。 5分：考生即使在简单语法结构，如时态，人称单词，单复数等上面也经常出错，有时甚至严重影响理解；基本不能使用复杂语法结构。

4. 发音： 7分：考生的发音清晰，准确，丝毫不影响理解。 6分：考生的发音较为清晰，准确，有时有发错或不规范的现象。 5分：考生的发音经常出错，有时严重影响理解。

其实纠正发音是很值得去做的事，因为方向明确，见效快，通过练习说句子练发音就更好了，既能练发音，还能学习单词，表达方式。
In my view, eating at home is healthier cos you control what goes into the food. Eating at home is also a lot more economical. With just 20 RMB, you can cook a decent meal at home, but i20 RMB is just enough to buy you only one dish in a restaurant. Additionally, eating at home is much more hygienic. You know, the dining room at home is a private place whereas a restaurant is a public place. If you eat in a public place, you’re more likely to expose yourself to health risks, like infectious diseases or whatever. I think it’s important for parents to share meals with their children on a regular basis, whether at home or in a restaurant. It’s a great opportunity for communication and strengthening family bonds.

第一组： beaches cause low — no invite library light—night said—sad
like—lack thick-sick bus—boss bet—bat comfortable economy famous roses

第二组： quiet—quite —quit kind line—nine clothes thought through
loose—lose view--few temperature pilot vegetables polite pain-pen pepper-paper pass-path

第三组 atmosphere gorgeous unique photography celebrity original
necessities competitive bathing suit equally quarterly journalist employees Enormous electronic

（三）关于评分标准语音方面的调整。雅思口语考试在2008年以前，在发音评分上只有2，4，6，四个等级，现在改为1-9,九个等级，也就是发音方面评分进一步细化，这对有发音优势的考生绝对是好消息。

（四）关于半分制现在的口语评分会出现5.5，6.5，7.5的现象。如果你在四个评分标准方面的得分分别是：流利度：7；词汇：6；语法：5；语音6 那么你的得分总分是24，再除以4，你的最后口语得分就是6分

五：雅思口语第一部分 (一) 话题范围 Your hometown Your Studies Your hobbies Your home
Your job Personal habits Music Sport Computer Internet Swimming Cycling News Drawing&painting Cooking Parties Shopping Birthdays Reading Writing Fruits & veggies Weekend Holidays Travel Gifts Communication (phone, ) Flowers advertisements Newspapers &magazines Transport & driving Clothing Films

注：雅思口语第一部分的话题，每年都会有新的题目出现，但主体是基本不变的，很好准备。
雅思口语第一部分永远的主体话题：吃，穿，住，行，学习，工作，娱乐(音乐，电影，电视)，运动，媒体，网络，艺术（画画，乐器，艺术馆），送礼，生日，派对。

雅思口语第一部分提问模式非常固定，考官主要是按照下面几种模式想考生提问：
（二）雅思口语第一部分是怎么进行的？雅思口语第一部分提问模式非常固定，考官主要是按照下面几种模式想考生提问： 1. Do you…? 2.Do people in your country do…? 3.What type of …do you like? 4.What type of …do you dislike? 5.What do you like about…? 6.What do you dislike about…? 7.What do you like to do +时间？ 8.What do you dislike to do +时间？ 9.Is it easy/difficult/convenient/safe/dangerous to do…? 10.When did you first do …? 11.Did you do…when you were a child? 12.When did you last do …? / Tell me about your last …experience? 13.When and where do you…? 14.Do you like do…alone or with friends? 15.Do you prefer A or B? Why? 16.Do you think it’s necessary/important for children/schools to do…? 17.What do you think about..? 18.What do you think is the benefit/advantage of …?

下面我们以最近经常出现的几个话题为例，看看考官是怎么提问的？
Cycling --Is it popular to ride the bike in your country? --Do you often ride the bike? --Is it safe to ride the bike in your city? --What do you think is the advantage of biking compared with other forms of transport? Cooking --Who cooks in your family? --Do you like cooking? Why or why not? --Do you think schools should provide cooking lessons for students? Shopping --Do you like shopping? --Where do you like to go shopping? --Do you like to go shopping alone or with friends? --Do you prefer big shops or small ones? Why? --Tell me about your last shopping experience. Travel --Do you like travelling? --What places do you like to visit? --Tell me about your last travel? --What do you think is the benefit of travel?

从上面我们可以看出考官在提问时的九个提问方向：
一：你自己；二：你们国家的普遍情况；三：你的小时候；四: 是最近一次；五：小孩；五：小孩六：在学校学…重不重要；七：同类比较优缺点八：…的好处九：为什么

（三）雅思口语第一部分的注意事项 1. 雅思口语第一部分的两大忌： 1）背诵答案 2）太多的简短答案（yes. No. I don’t know.） 2. 雅思口语第一部分的前奏 What’s you full name? or: Can you tell me your full name, please? How shall I call you? Can I see your ID card please?

3. 怎样在雅思口语第一部分给考官留下好的印象。
1）发音差的同学，应该把自己发得不好的音好好纠正一下。 2）语法不好的同学，应该好好学习一下一般过去时，现在完成时，现在完成进行时，现在进行时和将来时；名词单复数；可数和不可数名词；人称代词；主谓一致；形容词比较级最高级。 3）学习一些英语是母语的人喜欢用的的口语词和短语。 4）克服自己的紧张情绪，经常进行自问自答练习或找人对练。 5）不要试图说得太多，适当扩展一下就行了。 6）说话不要太快，同时和考官保持眼神接触。

4. 如何克服自己的表达方式过于简单，单调的问题。
很多同学得5分的一个主要原因就是表达方式过于简单，单调，如喜欢就是like, 表达原因就是because, 说好处就是good for health, 描述地方就是beautiful, 当然不是说这些词不好，关键是你从头到尾都用类似的词或短语的话，给考官的信息就是你的语言不行，别忘了，雅思纯粹就是考语言，就像普通话考试。我给大家总结了几组大家很可能会用上的一些词和短语，基本都是中国考生不是很熟悉的一些表达方式，希望能对大家有所帮助。

第一组：Yes, I do; No, I don’t 之外的其它情况
词或短句注解 Sure That’s for sure Absolutely (not) Definitely (not) Certainly (not) No doubt about it Not necessarily Well, actually… Well, obviously, … Well, honestly… Well, to tell you the truth… Um, to be honest, … As a matter of fact, … Well, I’m not really sure, but I guess so, cos… 15. Well, it really depends. 16. Well, it obviously varies from person to person. 17. Well, it’s difficult to say, cos… 18. Not really/exactly 19. Not much. 1-6 都是用来表示“当然，那是自然，这是可定的”之类的意思。 7 意为“未必，不一定” 8-13 表示你要说的话可能和考官的期望不同或相反。 14 表示你对考官所问的内容不是很清楚，但你觉得是这样的。 15 表示你认为有几个可能的因素，而非一个。 16. 表示因人而异 17. 表示 “这个很难说的啦”。 18. 表示 “不完全是” 19. 表示 “不是很多（频率）,或者不是很喜欢（程度）”

第二组：除了 I like…; I don’t like… 你还会说什么？
词或短句(按最喜欢-最不喜欢排列) 例句 …is my biggest passion in life. Be obsessed with… Be addicted to… Be hooked on… I’m crazy/mad about… I’m a huge/great fan of… I absolutely adore… I absolutely love… I’m into… I’m not very much into… I’m not a big fan of… I dislike… …is not my thing.

I absolutely adore you. I absolutely love Sichuan food. I’m into Korean songs. I’m so into you. Unlike most girls, I’m not very much into shopping. I’m not a big fan of photography. I dislike anything that’s oily and spicy. Dancing is just not my thing. I really hate travelling by train. I can’t stand the smell of it.

第三组：how often? 词或短句(按最频繁-从不排列) 例句 I ….all the time I …almost every day I …whenever I want I …a lot I don’t…very often I…once in a while I rarely… I hardly ever… I never… I use the brand all the time. He complains all the time. I eat it almost every day. I go shopping whenever I want. I dine out a lot. I don’t go to the cinema very often. I only go to the cinema once in a while.

第四组：why or why not? I like it mainly because… I like it simply because… Well, there are a variety of reasons. First,…; second… One reason is that…; another reason is that… The primary/main reason is that… It’s primarily because… I like it mainly because it’s a great way to relax. I like the major simply because it’s my interest. Well, there are a variety of reasons. First, I’ve been interested in it since I was a child and it’s always been my dream to be a …. Second, I think it suits my personality. You see, I’m extroverted and I love meeting new people. That’s exactly what the job requires. You see, everybody wants to have a car. I think one reason is that a car does make life easier and gives your more freedom. Another reason is that an expensive car is a status symbol, so rich people use it to show off their wealth. I think the primary reason is that our university education focuses too much on exams and too little on practical skills. It’s primarily because we are selfish and short-sighted.

It’s primarily due to… It’s mainly due to the fact that… It’s the result of… It may be because… I’m not sure, but I guess one possible reason is… For one thing… for another … It’s primarily due to our selfishness and short-sightedness. It’s mainly due to the fact that people today are under heavy pressure from work and life, especially financial pressure. It’s the result of a long-time sedentary lifestyle. Well, it may be because they’re not happy about the pay. It may be because they’re too busy or too tired too cook at home, you know, modern life is really stressful. I’m not sure, but I guess one possible reason is that they rush into marriage and after a while they find that they are not actually right for each other. I don’t like cycling. For one thing, when I cycle along the road, I have to breathe the dirty air. For another, cycling is dangerous cos there’s so much traffic on the road.

9. Cycling ride the bike bike/cycle biker/cyclist biking/cycling cycle to work/school and back home Cycling is a great way to get around, especially for short trips. economical, eco-friendly and great exercise bike-friendly, with excellent road conditions and bike lanes Cycling could be dangerous in some parts of the city, where the traffic is heavy and often messy. So, cyclists have to watch out and stay alert all the time. In China, bikes are mainly used as a means of transport. Not many people ride the bike as a sport. Sometimes, riding a bike is considered to be a symbol of having no money. I think the government should encourage people to bike more instead of driving anywhere, for the sake of their health and also the environment.

10. Driving get a driver’s/driving license I’ve been driving since I was 18. the make of your car drive to work/school I love to get around by car. Having a car does make you life much easier. You get to have your own timetable. You are free to make your own decisions about when to go and where to go, and how to go there. It’s fast, comfortable and private. go for a drive in the countryside go travelling in your own car I hate driving in Beijing.

11. TV TV shows/programs/channels cable TV/satellite TV talent show quiz show reality show variety show sports show news programs Sitcoms game show Documentary host/hostess online TV HD TV viewing rate Episode the 2nd season sequel It’s got millions of loyal viewers. TV guide the most important form of home entertainment

I just watch TV once in a while now. I spend more time on the
computer and Internet. From Monday to Friday, I watch very little TV, but on the weekend or during holidays, I’m a bit of a couch potato. Well, actually, I’ve got no particular preference for TV shows. I just flick through the channels and watch anything that attracts me. What I like most is entertainment shows, cos they’re really entertaining. You know, after a hard day at work/school, a good laugh is exactly what I need to relax. One of my favorites is an entertainment show called Happy Camp, which is one of the best-liked shows among young people. Most of my friends are loyal viewer of the show. One big attraction of the show is the hosts and hostesses. They’re young, smart, cool, stylish, and amusing. Every time, they invite a celebrity in the showbiz to share their success stories with the audience and also give a live performance. There’s applause and laughter all through the show. I just love the atmosphere. Some TV shows are educational and entertaining, no doubt about it, but on the other hand, watching too much TV makes one lazy both physically and mentally, cos TV is passive pleasure. Watching TV is fun, but on the other hand, it can be totally time- consuming.

12. Advertisements advertise advertising advertiser place/put an advert/ad commercials non-profitable advertisements commercial break prime time advertising revenues do adverts for big companies pay big stars to endorse their products commercials tend to exaggerate and mislead the consumers Commercials are important cos this is a commercial society.

Commercials serve as a bridge connecting consumers and
manufacturers. But on the other hand, they could be really annoying cos they always show up at the time you least want them to. deceptive advertisements Some adverts are just an insult to my intelligence. be conned into buying fake products I don’t trust what they say in adverts. I just believe my own eyes and judgment. And I trust name brands. Name brands cannot afford to sell fake products. TV adverts are just like mini-films, so they are more attractive and impressive. Some advertisements are classic and great works of art. I love advertisements that don’t exaggerate but really give you a strong visual impact and pleasure, and have very catchy advertising words.

13. Free-time activities indoor/outdoor activities I’m an indoors man/woman go singing Karaoke go dancing disco go clubbing/go to a night club go to a bar to have a few drinks go the cinema to watch the latest blockbusters. catch a few flicks on the computer go shopping downtown doing sport work out in the gym go swimming surfing the Net playing computer games playing poker playing billiards watching TV night life

14. Weekends have a good sleep hang out with my friends, singing or playing cards My favorite weekend activity is shopping. Sometimes, I just want some time alone, so I stay home, reading books or catching a few flicks. go for a drive in the countryside The most popular weekend activities in China are shopping, playing mahjong, singing Karaoke and playing on the computer. I think weekends now are more interesting, cos there’s so much I can do, watching TV, shopping, doing sport, singing, you name it, whereas in my childhood, the only thing I did was just watching cartoons. I think weekends in my childhood are more interesting, cos I was totally care-free, and I didn’t have much homework to do, so I could spend most of my time playing with other children. We liked to play some simply games like hide and seek, but they gave us enormous pleasure, now, we had more things to do on the weekend, but they don’t seem to have so much fun. And, as a student, I’m under the constant pressure from exams. I’m not really happy.

15. Music Music is magic. Music is my passion. hit songs download the latest tunes R&B/rap/rock/pop/blues/heavy mental/symphony/classical rhythm/beat Lyrics song-writer/singer/musician/instrumentalist an accomplished/excellent pianist Composer Tune The music is great to dance to. choir/band go to a concert signature song the charts album record I’m a terrible singer. I always sing out of tune. I love singing. It’s my favorite relaxation and stress killer. I’ve got an ipod, which I take with me wherever I go, so I can have the company of music all the time.

Music is really important for me. I really cannot imagine my life
without music. Without music, my life would be so dull. For me, music is just like a loyal friend, who is always there when you need him/her. He gives me comfort when I’m sad, gives me passion when I’m high, and gives me company when I’m lonely. Actually, I’ve got no particular preference for music. I just listen to anything that’s pleasant to my ear. And in fact, what I listen to really depends on my mood. Say, when I’m in a bad mood, I usually choose something that’s slow and soothing, whereas when I’m in a good mood, I prefer something fast and strong and passionate. musical instrument/instrument the guitar/bass/clarinet/violin/cello/piano/flute/drum(s)/sax. traditional Chinese musical instrument, like Guzheng, which is a string instrument, something like zither. It’s got about 20 strings, I don’t know exactly how many, and you play it with both your hands, the left hand plucking the strings and the right hand touching the strings to control the pitch. It’s got a unique sound, very beautiful.

I used to learn the piano for a while when I was in primary school,
and then I had to stop it because of the heavy study pressure. They say playing instruments makes kids more intelligent, imaginative and creative. Playing a musical instrument is a marvelous hobby that can continue for a lifetime, and also it’s highly desirable skill. If you’re really good at playing an instrument, you can make a living out of it if you like. And it’s a really useful social skill, like you can show it on a party to entertain your friends, and you will be star of the party. And if you can play an instrument, you have a unique way of expressing your feelings. Like, you can play music to express your love to someone without actually say “I love you”. It’s special and romantic. And it always works wonders. Learning to play a musical instrument takes time and energy, and lot of money as well. I’m not very musical, so learning an instrument is really a tough job for me.

16. Reading and writing sci-fi/kung fu fictions fantasy novels, like Harry Porter some on-line fantasy stuff biographies/autobiographies of celebrities or successful CEOs or entrepreneurs, or politicians. story books/picture books/fairy tales/fables/ancient poems best-sellers Books that teach you how to become more attractive, how to become successful and make big money, how to manage your money and invest your money, and books about celebrities, they’re always the best sellers. I’m into historical stuff. I’m really curious about what happened in the past. It always fascinates me. I don’t read much in my free time. I just do some light stuff, like newspapers and magazines. And I also read some interesting news and blogs on the Internet almost every day. I’m in the habit of keeping a diary. I’m never a good writer. We had composition lessons at school, but they were just for exams. I think good writers should first be an avid reader. If you don’t read extensively, it’s impossible for you to write something good.

17. Fruits and vegetables Veggie cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, green beans, leek, water spinach, lotus root, eggplant, broccoli, cucumber, mushroom, green pepper fruits and fresh fruit juice I’m a meat eater. I just couldn’t live without meat. And I’m not a big fan of veggies and fruits. I know it’s not a healthy habit, but I just cannot resist meat. I love fruits that are sweet, juicy and meaty, like water melon, and oranges. Vegetables and fruits are low-calorie but highly nutritious, so they’re well-liked by people, especially girls who want to lose weight. In China, we eat lots of veggies, cos they’re healthy/wholesome and they’re cheap to buy. This is quite different from some western countries where vegetables are more expensive than meat. And also veggies are ingredients for lots of dishes. Fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. And lots of them are helpful in preventing and curing diseases. And it’s very convenient to get fresh vegetables and fruits. There’s a green grocer’s just outside my neighborhood, and there is an agricultural market, which is just 5 minutes’ walk away. And we can also get vegetables from the supermarket.

18. Travel travel agency/tour guide/tour leader/lecturer (take) package tour independent travel/travel independently self-drive travel/travel in your own car backpackers tour around a place see the sights do sightseeing sightseer This place is packed with travelers tourists/travelers/holiday-makers holiday resort The best way to explore the place is on foot. show sb around a place enjoy the local delicacies shopping paradise/buy name brand stuff at lower prices take photos of the gorgeous view/scenery Photos are great mementos and also I can show them to my friends so they can share my happiness.

get some souvenirs, like local specialties and some artifacts.
Package tours are safer and less trouble but they are less fun, cos you just follow the tour guide and you don’t have much freedom. Independent travel could be dangerous and more trouble but they’re more exciting and enjoyable, cos you are free to make your own decisions, and do what you really like to do. In China, the best-liked travel destinations are either places of great natural beauty or historical importance. And more and more people choose to travel overseas. Travel enriches our life cos we go to new places, see and do new things and get new experiences. Also, when you’re fed up with your day-to-day life, travel gives you the chance to get away from it all and totally relax.

19. Holidays spend one’s holiday/vacation holiday-makers have 7 days off public holidays: National Day holiday/May holiday traditional festivals annual vacation What I do actually depends on the length of the holiday. Of course, I want to go travelling during holidays but the problem is everywhere is packed with tourists, and I really hate that. And also, transport is a big problem cos train tickers and air tickets are hard to get, cos the demand is too big. During holidays, what I do most is get together with my friends and have a good time, shopping, singing Karaoke, having a big dinner together and chatting.

And of course, I love to sleep during holidays, you know, to sleep as
long as I want, without anybody disturbing me. It’s awesome. What I hate to do most is of course having to work during holidays. You know, everybody else is having a good time with their family or friends and you’re working, which really makes me sad. I have lots of holidays, all the public holidays, like National Day and May Day, plus two long vacations, the 2-month summer vacation and one-month winter vacation, but the problem is that I have to spend most of my holidays on the school stuff or taking extra lessons. That is the last thing I want to do. I really hate it. Holidays are important, cos they give us the chance to slow down and relax, and be with our family and close friends, and do something I really want to do but don’t have the time to do, so I think holidays are really important.

20. Computer computer-literate/computer-illiterate Computer-literacy is a must for modern people. Everybody is supposed to be able to use the computer, you know, word, excel, ppt, and stuff. laptop—adapter—cable—USB stick/USB port connect A to B/disconnect plug in/unplug the keyboard/touch pad/mouse pad click/double-click icon switch on/off—reboot/crash save/store/create/open/close/cancel/delete/exit/access copy/cut/paste/drag/insert/edit make changes to the text computernik/mouse potato

play on the computer My job/work involves using the computer a lot. I type lots of stuff on the computer. I also use it for entertainment, like listening to music, watching films and playing games. I’ve been using the computer since I was very young, probably 7 years old. I learned it myself. It’s really a piece of cake for me. take apart the computer and reassemble it If something is wrong with my computer, I can get help from the Internet, you know, there are lots of websites providing professional help about how to fix all kinds of computer problems. If it’s just a small problem, I can fix it myself, but it’s something serious, I will get my cousin to fix it. He’s a computer specialist.

I can use the computer quite well, but when it comes to fixing
computer problems, I’m totally hopeless. Too much game playing is of course a bad thing. It ruins/damages your eyesight, harms your health, and affects your work/life. However, if you can control yourself and don’t overdo it, playing games could be really fun. Some computer games are educational and entertaining. Some are just entertaining, maybe, in a bit violent or erotic way, but they’re great fun, no doubt about that. That’s why so many people are crazy about playing computer games. All in all, playing computer games is no different from other forms of entertainment. If we don’t do it too much, it would do us more good than harm.

21. the Internet the Web/the Net netizen/Internet users/Net surfers/cyberholic There’s no Internet access in my dorm room. There’s wireless Internet access in the café.

It was a very long journey from my hometown to Xi’an. It took us about 15 hours. As you may know, Xi’an is a very famous historical and cultural city in China. It used to the capital of several ancient dynasties, so it’s got numerous historical sites. We stayed in Xi’an for 2 days, touring around the city, and also enjoying the local delicacies. Of all the places I visited there, the one that impressed me most is QinShiHuangLin. I don’t know how to say the name in English. It’s the grave of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, which is the first feudal dynasty in Chinese history, about 200 years ago.

注：很多同学在叙述过去的事件之时，往往忘记使用动词的过去时，这不是一个不知道的问题，而是一个习惯问题。我的建议是请大家找几个描述过去事件的卡片，说两分钟，把它录下来听听自己是否在该用动词过去式的时候使用了过去式。纠正几次就好了。过去进行时：was/were doing At that time, I was cooking in the kitchen, so I didn’t hear the phone ring.

5. 如何利用一分钟准备时间：强烈建议大家利用好这一分钟的时间进行快速构思，并在稿纸上写上关键词，这一方面是让考官觉得你事先未经准备，而是预防 “忘记”现象，也就是构思的时候想得好好的，说的时候忘记了，为什么会忘呢，因为你说的时候是要看着考官的，不免有些紧张，一紧张就什么也想不起来了。所以大家在平时练习的时候，也请按照这种方式进行，就是凭借关键词进行架构，同时按照卡片上的提示顺序一个一个往下描述即可，没有必要临时重新组织顺序。而且，这回给考官一种印象：你实在临场发挥，这也是考官所希望看到的。 6. 如何让我的描述更加有序：大家知道，在Part Two, 大家需要独自说1-2分钟，怎样才能让考官很容易就能知道你每一步都要想说什么呢？我个人的建议是大家借用一些结构性的句子：在开头，开门见山：I’d like to talk about… 回答第一个问题：To begin with, I’ll talk about … (where it is) 回答第二个问题：Then as to… (what it looks like) 回答第三个问题：Now let’s look at (what it sells)

回答最后一个问题：And finally I’d like to explain to you (why I like the place).
很多题目都可以用这些句子进行架构。当然了，大家也不要太机械了，有的题目完全可以以你自己喜欢的方式进行架构，关键是要用的自然。 7. Part Two 需要大家特别注意的几个地方：第一：大家看到准备过的题目一定不要喜形于色。第二：思考的时候可以不看考官，但在描述的时候，一定要看着考官说。第三：注意时态。第四：描述人的时候，注意he/she. 第五：结束的时候，不要说，that’s all. 如果你是在没话说了，可以使用下面这句话： Well, I’m afraid that’s all I can think of to say now, thank you.

8. Part Two 经典卡片解析: 我希望大家在这一讲里面，能够学到一些有用的英语，并学会如何用英语思维，不建议打击死背f范文，但可以自己试着用自己的话复述范文。地方类卡片： Describe a city you have visited or lived in. Describe a library you have used. Describe an important historical site you have visited and liked. Describe a park or garden you have visited. Describe the sea or a place with a lot of water that you have been to Describe a place that is polluted. Describe a restaurant you like. Describe a shopping place you like. Describe a modern building that impressed you. Describe a school you studied in. Describe a house/flat that you like (not your own) Describe a place from which you can learn sth about the past.

and explain why you like it so much.
经典卡片解析1： Describe a shopping place you like. (such as a supermarket or shopping mall). You should say: where it is what it looks like how often you go there and explain why you like it so much. I’d like to talk about a shopping mall in my home city of Xi’an，which is in the downtown pedestrian zone, and it’s not far from where I live, just about ten minutes’ bus ride away, so it’s really convenient for me to go there. The mall is huge, you know, with 10 floors, and it looks really modern with shiny glass curtain walls. The inside is also amazing. It’s spotlessly clean and elegantly decorated. So it’s absolutely an enjoyment to be there. I go the mall quite a lot, about once or twice a month, sometimes alone, and sometimes with the company of my best friend.

And most of the time, I go there to buy something, but some of the time, I just go
window shopping there. As to why I love the place so much, the main reason is of course that the mall is a shopping paradise, offering an amazingly wide selection of goods. Most of them are reasonably priced, affordable to most people. The most important thing is you can always find something you really want to buy there, whether it’s a piece of clothing or electronic equipment. And everything there is name-brand stuff , so the quality is highly reliable. And another reason I love the place is because of its excellent shopping environment and outstanding service. It’s really pleasant to be there. Even just strolling around and admiring all the exquisite products is highly enjoyable. The only problem is that on the weekends and holidays its packed with shoppers; you know it’s the most popular shopping place in the city, so I usually avoid going there at those peak times. I prefer to go there in the late afternoon after school/work, like at 6 or 7 o’clock. And it closes at 10, so I still have enough time to do my shopping.

Describe a city or town you ever visited or lived in. You should say:
经典卡片解析2： Describe a city or town you ever visited or lived in. You should say: Which city it is What is the main feature of the city What you like about it What you dislike about it. I’d like to talk about ChengDu, which is the capital of SiChuan province in southwestern China. I’ve been to the city for a couple of times on summer vacation or at spring festival to visit my uncle. He went to the city after graduation from university and has been living there since then. ChengDu is probably one of the best known metropolises in China, just like ShangHai and ShenZhen, but it’s got its own unique charm. Shanghai is a financial center, ShenZhen is a commercial and industrial center, but Chengdu is more known as a leisure and tourism capital. In China, when people talk about Chengdu, what first comes into mind is usually its gorgeous scenery, wonderful delicacies and beautiful girls. And also, the local lifestyle is envied by most people in China. The living cost in Chengdu is not very high and the pace of life is not so fast. It seems that people there don’t care so much about making money. For them, enjoying life is much more important. Maybe, that’s why they spend a lot of their time playing mahjong or enjoying delicacies.

As to what I dislike about the city, well, um, it’s really difficult for me to think of anything to say, cos I really love the city. Maybe, the only thing about the city that needs improving is the roads. They’re not very well designed and a lot of them are quite old and need upgrading.

经典卡片解析3： Describe a TV or radio program that you like to talk about with your family or friends. You should say: What the program is about / what the program is How often you watch or listen to this program What type of people enjoy this program And explain what you like (or dislike) about this program. Well, I’d like to talk about a very popular talent show on CCTV3. It’s called Star Avenue. And it’s something like American Idol and Britain’s Got Talent. The show airs twice a week The first time is on Wednesday night and the repeat is on Saturday night. So I’m able to watch it every time and I hardly ever miss it. It’s a talent show, so it’s all about the competition between contestants in the auditions and the other four levels of competitions, the weekly, monthly, quarterly, and the annual final. And the winners of each level advances/gets into the next level, and annual champion will be recommended to perform on CCTV Spring Festival gala.

As to what type of people watch the show, as I know, it attracts people of all ages. Just like in my family, my parents and I are all loyal viewers of the show. And we usually watch it together. And we clap and cheer for a good performance just as the live audience in the TV studio. And we like to have a bet on who will be the winner each time. And the one who loses the best has to do the washing up. I love the TV show for a variety of reasons. But the most important reason I think is that the show is ordinary people like me to demonstrate their talent in front of a nationwide TV audience. In the past, we didn’t have anything like that. Only famous professional performers had the chance to give performances on TV. But now everybody can do that as long as they have what it take, courage and talent. And I’m really happy about that. If I was a good singer or something, I would also like to take part in it. But unfortunately, I don’t have any special talent.

TV takes away the time that should be spent doing exercise and communicating with family. TV kills conversation. TV is a passive entertainment. Watch TV too much spoils one’s vision, and also causes a decline in general health. You may get near-sighted and obese due to heavy TV viewing. So, we should really cut the time we spend on TV and do more outdoor activities.

经典卡片解析4： Describe an important historic site (in your country) that you visited. You should say: where it was what you saw at this site (or, what it looked like) when it was built / what role it played in history how you first learned about this place and explain what interested you most about that place. I’d like to talk about the well-known museum of terracotta warriors and horses, which I visited on a summer vocation with my parents. It’s a very famous place, not only in China, but also in the world, so I guess you probably know it. It’s in Xi’an, Shan’xi province. As you may know, Xi’an used to be the capital of several ancient dynasties so it’s got numerous/countless/lots of important historical sites. The terracotta warriors and horses museum is just one of them. What I saw there? Um, of course it’s mainly the pottery soldiers and horses. There’re three pits. The first pit is the largest and the most splendid. And around the pits are wide walkways for viewers. And you can take photos there, but you mustn’t

use the flash cos it may have a damaging effect on those centuries-old relics.
When it was built? Well, it was built over 2,000 years ago by the first emperor of Qin dynasty.It was actually part of his huge tomb. He built this massive underground army to protect his tomb. Maybe, he wished to live an emperor in an underground palace, just like when he was alive. I learned about this place a long time before I went there. I first got to know it from a history book in primary school, in which it was described as the world’s 8th wonder. What impressed me most about the place was of course, you know, thousands of pottery soldiers and horses. They’re absolutely amazing works of art. It’s really hard to imagine how they made them so well over 2,000 years ago when they didn’t have the help of modern technology and equipment. It’s just incredible. And I was really impressed. So, I took lots of photos and bought a book about it, as well as a small replica of a terracotta soldier as a souvenir.

经典卡片解析5： Describe a film you (recently) enjoyed watching. (Either at home or in a cinema). You should say: what type of film it was where you watched this film what the film was about (why you chose to watch this film) And explain why you enjoyed this film. Well, actually I love films and I’ve seen lots of great films, like Titanic and Forrest Gump, but now I’d like to talk about a film I watched about 2 years ago. It’s called the Pursuit of Happiness. I guess you have probably watched it, cos it was a smash hit in 2006 and 7. I saw the film in the cinema alone and before that I had watched its trailer onthe Internet, which was really good, so I decided to watch it in the cinema. The film is based on a true story of an African American financial investor. WillSmith plays him in the film, with the name of Chris. At first, he is a real loser,working as a salesman, selling a kind of a medical machine, but it just doesn’t

sell. Nobody wants to buy it cos it’s expensive and impractical
sell. Nobody wants to buy it cos it’s expensive and impractical. And as a result, he goes broke, and then his wife leaves him, and then he loses his house, bank account, and credit cards, everything. He became homeless and had to live out in the streets with his son. But all the difficulties don’t break the man. Instead, they make him stronger and even more eager and determined to make it. He became an intern in an investment company and eventually got hired by the company. I really enjoyed the film very much, first because Will Smith does a fantastic/superb/excellent/brilliant job in the film. He’s really an amazing actor. You know, he’s known/famous for his action films, but in this film, he plays a father and husband in a real life situation and he plays it so well/beautifully. It’s definitely something remarkable. Another reason I enjoyed the film is because of the touching story. I’m not thekind of person who likes to cry, but at many moments in the film, I was on the verge of tears, and I just couldn’t help it. And I can still remember the scene where Chris and his son had nowhere to go one night, and had to stay in a public toilet/restroom of a subway station, and Chris locked the door from inside, and a guy wanted to use the toilet, but couldn’t open the door, so he kicked the door again and again. At that moment, Chris cried, and I cried too.

七. 雅思口语第三部分 1. 概述雅思口语考试第三部分是整个考试的高潮部分，考生的最终得分是高是低主要取决于你在这一部分的表现。5.5分或5.5分以下的考生，在第三部分是非常困难的，通常考官说的话比考生还多，因为他要不断解释考生才能听懂，而且要不断诱导，考生才能像挤牙膏似的说点东西。面对这样的考生，考官有时候比考生还难受，但又不能提前结束，通常在10-11分钟时，考官就会早早收场。6-7分的考生在这一部分的突出特点是问题基本都能听懂，只是个别问题需要让考官重复或解释；同时每个问题或多或少都能答上来，尽管有时候是经过考官引导或提示的。在第三部分，考生会面临一个扩展答案的问题，但多数考生在这方面都不是很主动，他们通常是在考官追问下才进行解释的，如Why? Why not? Could you give me an example? Anything else? 等，但这并不会太影响分数只要你能解释得上来。但考官还是喜欢考生自己去论述自己的观点，及：尽可能的提供例证，原因等。总之这一部分是不管你说多长，考官都有耐心听你说下去，除非是你说的他不理解。6分和7分在这部分的区别在于考生的扩展能力，词汇的广度和准确度，语法结构的广度和准确度。考官在这一部分的通常做法就是穷追猛打，逼考生发挥出最大潜能，当然也可能是原形毕露。是骡子，是马，拉出来溜溜就知道了.

2. 题目类型雅思口语第三部分和第一部分所采取的方式是一致的，但是问题更具挑战性。第一部分主要是关于“你”的，所以多数问题都是围绕“you”展开的，而在第三部分，问题是围绕 “其他人” “你们国家的人” “男人，女人” “老人，年轻人，小孩” “过去的人，现在的人，将来的人” 等主题展开的，其问题更具普遍性，也更抽象。这部分考察的语言技能包括： 3. 典型示例如果第二部分题目是： Describe a famous person you would like to meet. You should say: who this person is where you first saw him or her how/why this person is famous and explain what you would say to this person.

那么，考官在第三部分就可能会和你讨论以下的问题：
成名的利弊 2. 成名的途径 3. 过去的名人和现在的名人的不同 4.明星的责任 5. 你对偶像崇拜的看法（尤其是青少年）。想想，如果你在第二部分的卡片是： Describe a place you know where the public may go to listen to music You should say: where this place it what kind of people go there what kind of music you can listen to there and explain how you feel about this place. 那么你在第三部可能被问到什么样的问题呢？

4. 考官在第三部分如何提问至于具体提问的方式，每个考官可能提问的方式有所不同，毕竟同一个问题可以有多种不同的表述方式：如 How does A differ from B? =How is A different from B? =What is the difference between A and B? 但是，在第三部分通常是要你表达自己的观点，所以最常见的提问方式就是： Do you think….? 或者 What do you think about…? Why do you think some people…? Could you give me an example? How are young people and old people different in their attitudes to…? What do you think we can do to…? How do you think…will change in the future? 等等。

5. 第三部分说多少合适？部分考官喜欢让考生多说，这样他就可以少问些问题。这样做的前提是考生的口语能力比较强，但这种情况并不多见。通常考官在第三部分问的问题比较多，可能达到十个左右，这一方面是因为考生的答案比较短，考官需要不断提示考生从不同方面对答案进行扩充，如考官可能会叫你举个例子证明你的观点，或者给出原因。至于具体应该说多少，那就得看你能说到少了，考官看你说不下去了，通常会换个题目，或者引导你往下说。 6. 考官在这部分主要寻找什么？首先，考官期望你能够和他进行交流，不希望看到长时间的停顿，所以考生可以想到什么就先说出来，不要等想好了再说，通常的说法是边想边说。你不要担心自己的观点很幼稚，这不会影响分数，考官主要看你能否表达自己的观点。其次，考官期望你的回答不跑题，这需要大家认真听问题，如果没听懂，可以通过以下方式让考官帮助你：

Sorry, could you say it again please? I didn’t quite catch it.
Excuse me, what do you mean by “computer-literacy”? Sorry, what does the last word mean? Well, could you put the question another way? 如果，你想向考官确认你是否听懂了问题，你可以说： So, you want me to…? 最后，考官帮你之后，别忘了在回答前表示感谢： Oh, I see/I see what you mean. Thanks. 如果，考官解释了你还没听懂，你可以让考官换个问题，这总比什么都不说强： Sorry, I really have no idea what to say. Could you give me anther question? 或者：Sorry, I really don’t understand the question. Could you ask me another one?

7. 我该如何去准备第三部分？其实最重要的还是要去扩充自己的词汇量，巧妇难为无米之炊嘛。如果时间紧，可以背背话题词汇。不过与此同等重要的还是要去看看最近常考的话题，争取自己事先有所准备，不打无准备之仗。再者，大家要把自己喜欢用的连词练得滚瓜烂熟，尤其是发音要准。比如：表达原因我喜欢用：I think it’s mainly because…. 或者，I think the main reason is that…部分同学的main或mainly发得就不准确，容易和man/manly混。再比如：表达某个事物的好处时，我喜欢用：I think the beauty of living in the city is the convenient transport, shopping and entertainment facilities. 这需要大家总结出来并把它们记在一起，并写上例句，天天练几遍，争取做到成为本能。只有这样考试的时候才能说得出来。

8. 我怎么去让自己扩展答案？一个标准的答案应包括：你的观点+论据+总结我们姑且将其总结成： topic sentence+supporting details+conclusion 简称为：TSC 几乎所有的问题都可以用这个方式去扩展。这个方式最重要的部分是要给出支持的论据，通常包括具体的例子，原因等。现在我们就以上面的“名人”这个话题为例为大家进行详细的说明。 Would you like to be famous? 说明：这个问题显然需要你表达自己的意愿，并给出原因。

示范1： Well, I’d like to be famous if I could. Everybody has a desire to be a star and I’m no exception. The reason is simple. We all want to have a glamorous life like those celebrities. 示范2： Well, I wouldn’t like to be famous. I’m not so ambitious. I just want to have a job I like and a happy family. What’s the advantage and disadvantage of being famous? 说明：在谈论某物的利弊时，最好用上一定的结构让考官知道你的思路。示范： Um. Obviously, the best thing of being famous is that you are able to become very rich and live a life you dream about, however, as everything is a double-edged sword, being famous also brings a lot of disadvantages. For example, you lose a lot of privacy. Whatever you do gets public attention. Most of the attention is annoying. And also, wherever you go, you may be followed by paparazzi. It’s very difficult for you to go out with your family or friends like ordinary people.

How can people get famous these days?
示范：Well, as I know, the most common way for people to become famous is to join some famous contests, such as those talent shows on TV. If you become the champion, you become famous. Another way to become famous is to be an actor and actress. If you appear in a very successful film and you do a good job, you become famous immediately. In a word, it’s very easy to become famous nowadays as long as you have your own stuff and you catch the chance to show it to other people. How did people become famous in the past? 说明：从现在谈到过去时考官常用伎俩，其目的很明显：能否正确使用动词过去时。所以常见动词的过去时大家一定要熟悉。示范：how people became famous in the past? Um, I’m not sure because I don’t know much about that. I only know that when I was child, the most famous people were government leaders or national heroes like LeiFeng and some important scientists. They became famous through newspapers or textbooks.

Do you think the famous should shoulder more responsibility for the society?
说明：这个问题有点难度，但还是有话可说的。考官这么问你，显然名人是有社会责任的，因为他们的成名离不开大家的支持。当然你也可以有自己的观点。示范1： Well, it’s hard for me to say whether the famous should shoulder more responsibility for the society. Personally, I think the famous should have some social responsibility. The main reason is that their success comes from the support of their fans and their fans come from all walks of life, so in order to reward their fans, they should do something to give back to the society. 示范2： Well, I don’t think so because I think the famous people achieve their success mainly through their own efforts. Therefore, I don’t think we should force any responsibility on them. For example, I don’t think we should require the famous people to donate a lot of money to charity. Whether to do that should depend on themselves. It’s a matter of personal choice.

What do you think about teenagers worshipping celebrities?
说明：这个问题的本质是让你表达这个现象你认为是好还是不好，并说明原因。示范1. I think it’s a good thing. If a teenager worships celebrities, it shows that he has a desire to be famous too. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have a bit of ambition. It would be even better if they follow the example of their idol’s success and work hard to realize their own dream. 示范2： Well, it’s hard to say, I think. On one hand, it’s just natural to idolize a star. Almost everybody has their own idols. On the other hand, it can be dangerous for a teenager to worship a star blindly. As I know, some teenagers admire a star simply because they are good-looking or fashionable. They imitate whatever their idol does. They copy their hairstyle or the way they dress or even their tattoos. I think it’s too shallow. One more thing, some stars have very dirty private life. They do drugs or do some other illegal things. They are very bad influence on teenagers.
