雅思考官眼中的口语高分考生 与众不同

考官每个周末要考30位考生，其中85％—90%的考生年龄都在18—25 岁之间。这意味着考官会不断见到生活和学习经历类似的考生。也就是说，你必须要更加努力才能脱颖而出，才能与众不同。

你在很多方面都可以与众不同——你的穿着打扮、心情和态度等。但请记住，这是场语言考试。所以最重要的是你要在语言能力和想法上表现得与众不同，甚至是你对话题的解读要与众不同。

下面我们来看一个第二部分的考生范例，该话题的题目是：A Friend of Yours，话题卡上的描述是：You should say who this friend is， how you met， what you do together and why this friend is important to you.

该考生在卡片上写下了下面三个词：

Macy

not aggressive

trust

Actually， the friend I want to talk about is a sheep， called Macy. Not a real sheep， she’s a toy， a fluffy toy， you know， about this big. Macy and I met about two years ago， in a shop， the day I broke up with my boyfriend. So I bought her… She was so cute， and I needed somebody to talk to， somebody soft， somebody I could trust. So Macy entered my life… yay！ Actually， I call her Macy. It’s her English name， cos at that time I had just started studying fashion and I really admired a designer from South China called Ma Ke. It sounds a bit like Macy.

What do we do together？ We just hang out， especially in the evening. We listen to music together. I tell her about what happened to me during the day. I tell her my secrets， and she listens. She’s a great listener， you know， and sometimes I put my head on her， like a pillow， and she’s very soft and warm and she never complains. Not like my ex-boyfriend！ Macy is much more patient and mature！

Yeah， Macy is really important to me… I remember one time， when I was visiting my aunt in Wuxi， I lt her behind when I took the train back to Shanghai. I really missed her！ I had to call my aunt， and wait a week bore my uncle came to Shanghai and gave her back. Ummm， also Macy is very fashionable. You know， she’s a Yang， like people born in the Year of the Sheep， so that means she’s quiet， and elegant， and also Yang people try very hard not to you’re your feelings. Just like me， they need to feel loved and protected！ They’re maybe not very good about big decisions – not about love anyway – but actually deep down they are very passionate！
