Part 1
趋势一：问题数量变多
以前可能5-7问题就结束，现在一般10个问题左右，甚至更多

趋势二：话题范围跟第二第三部分有重合（难度加大）
比如9月考的travelling by air
还有最近一直喜欢考的food & cooking, animals, mobile phone 等

Part 2

喜欢加关键词“didn’t like/ dislike”

A film you like--------- a film you didn’t like
喜欢加关键词“in your childhood/ as a child”
A book you enjoy-----------a book you enjoyed as a child

A school you went to as a child

Part 3
趋势一：考官的自主参与更多
体现在：
1.在观点跟你不同时会与你argue and discuss
2.根据你的答案继续衍生问题（考官自主发挥）
趋势二：保持了对中国文化的兴趣
考官在问题当中对中国的就业市场，房价，文化习俗（比如曾经有学生被问到中国人为什么要烧纸）都有相当高的兴趣，喜欢追问why。考生需要对看似司空见惯的东西有一定的思考。
