本次考试考题精选范例解析及答题技巧：

宽泛问题，细致回答

在雅思口语Part 1和Part 3的考题中有很多客观问题，而这些客观问题的询问对象往往范围都比较宽泛，最常见的就是people in your country, Chinese people, young people in China等。很多同学习惯不假思索的回答yes or no, 但往往这样的答案会被认为是主观片面的，缺乏科学依据。比如Do people in your country like using mobile phones? 大部分同学的答案是Yes, they all like using mobile phones. They usually use mobile phones to make phone calls, text messages, surf on the internet and so on. 这样回答的同学往往忽视了一件事，就是中国这么大，你怎么知道所有人都喜欢用手机呢？如果没有做过调查，你就不能判定说所有的中国人都爱用手机。西方人说话写作都讲求依据，所以毫无依据的臆想是不会得高分的。所以，同学们不妨试试以下一种思路。

Sample answer:

Well, it varies. It depends on the age of people we are talking about here. I guess most young guys in urban area like using mobiles and I have my grounds to say so. People around me all use their mobiles every day for various uses, like work or social, etc. However, the aged people in China, in contrast, look like showing no particular interest in mobiles. I mean, they use mobiles much less than young guys do, and they use mobiles for nothing but making phone calls which can also be done by fixed lines. So, that’s why I would say it varies.

通过这种思路，先分类，再进行猜测（而非断定），然后用身边的例子进行论证，就可以理直气壮的告诉考官这个问题的答案了。考生们以后遇到类似的考题就可以按照这种思路来回答各种宽泛的问题，从而提高答案的含金量。

雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导

整个7月一直在重复5月份改话题以来的高频话题，一些改后的新题的出现次数也逐渐增多，如a shopping street/mall, a means of public transport, an interesting speech, your ideal working or studying environment, a rule in your school等。这些比较抽象的话题给考生带来了不小的麻烦。但考生只要谨记，所有抽象的题目都可以把它具体化。也就是说，最简单最通俗的办法就是拿生活中的例子来讲，从而使你的talk更 加真实、具体。比如，大众交通工具的题目就结合自身出门常用的工具而非一味的描述交通工具本身；购物街道或商场就结合自己的购物喜好和习惯来带出对街道和 商场的地点描述而不是以第三人的角度来客观介绍这条街道的概况；学校的规则则可以结合自己或同学的亲身经历来描述这项规则是好是坏等等。总之，能结合自身 的谈话都是考官乐于听到的，因为它更加真实更加具体，也更能吸引人。把握住这个原则，无论你在考场中遇到旧题还是新题，都能容易的找到突破口，顺利答题。
