2015年上半年悄然已过，回首这6个月的雅思口语考试，有喜有忧。喜得是在经历了题库更换，“新题”涌出的波动之后，雅思口语考试仍然以“烤鸭们”熟悉的考试形式和内容风格出题。在此，我们将深入系统地整理归纳出整个2015年上半年的真题提问总体的规律和雅思口语考官的明确的评分准则，从而“温故而知新”，为下半年雅思口语之战做好更全面有效的准备。

　　熟知雅思口语考试的同学们应该都对雅思口语试题每年的“题库更新”深恶痛绝。面对主观性本就存在的口语现场面试，“新题”如传说中的怪物惊吓了众多考生。口语考场上，最怕面对毫无准备的题目蹦出，造成无话可说的“冷场灾难”。如果新题中的单词听不懂怎么办?就算听懂了新题的题目，但毫无答题思路怎么办?对未知的恐惧让雅思口语变得难上加难。“新题”真的无法提前准备，只能临场随机应变吗?其实不然!首先，大家重新理解雅思口语中“更换的新题”。雅思口语的“新题”并非真正意义上的“过去从未出现过的全新试题”，有些所谓的“新题”是很早以前曾频繁出现于考场上的“老话题”。考生之所以不认识这些“熟悉的陌生人“，不过是因为这些考题“中场休息”了一段日子，然后又“重出江湖”。而另一种“伪新题”就更有意思了。正如老话所说“新瓶装旧酒，换汤不换药”。这些“换了新衣”的新题，无非是聪明的考官用了另外一种描述问题的表达方式，将以往的老话题重新改头换面一番，吓坏了不少考生。那我们如何火眼惊醒地看穿这些“变了张脸”的原先的考题呢?当然是淡定审题，理清题意，联想老题，回归本真!由此可见，剩下了极少数个别的“新题”才是官方新增的题目。可也别着急，因为依循雅思口语考试大纲的要求，试题内容永远有关于生活层面，考生只要联系个人感受和经历，总能有话可说。重新理解了“神秘的新题”之后，相信广大考生现在不会再惶恐不安了吧!那就让我们重温2015年上半年的Part1及Part2考题，温故而知新吧!

　　Part 1:

　　基于Part 1是考生开场的个环节，想给考官留下不错的印象，为最终分数奠定下良好的基础，做到尽可能的完美相当重要。首先，我们来看看Part 1必考话题，这三个话题可谓“万年不变三剑客”，他们是：1. Your Work and Your Studies, 2. Your Hometown及3. Your Home or Accommodation，无疑是全体雅思考生的备课必修入门话题。

　　并且2015年上半年还出现了一批高频选考话题，连续半年持续活跃在口试考场上，他们是Name, Reading, Visitors to your home, Teachers, Public holidays, Parties, Vegetables and Fruits, Films, Sky, Sleep, Trees, Plants, Mathematics, Weather and Climate, Television, Weekends, Sports, Clothes, Colors, Toys, Friends, Maps, Time management, Letters & E-mails, Newspapers, Collection, Mobile phone, Text messages, Live music, Gifts, Museums and Art Galleries, Public Transportation, Shoes 及Nearby shop or market这几个话题。从这几个高频题目中不难看出雅思口语Part 1的题目依然以“围绕日常生活的主旋律”为出题方向。所以考生在Part 1的备考过程中尤其不能以点概面，模糊作答;而应该有理有据，给出细节，以自己的生活为思路来源，以个人经历感受为具体例子。

　　Part 2:

　　虽然雅思口语考试的难度随着Part 1, Part2及Part 3的推进而难度递增，但是大部分考生依然觉得雅思口语的Part 2中要求连续1-2分钟的个人独白是最为“头皮发麻，大脑断片，无话可说”的部分。官方Part 2题库中的题目数量巨大，若想做到将每道题目都进行深入具体的准备练习是不现实也不必要的。另外，Part 2没有必考题目，考生只有通过“撒大网，不错放一个”的勤奋态度，尽可能系统全面的将Part2题库中的核心考题都准备到位，才可以称能面对考官“胸有成竹”。

　　因此，按照分类掌握Part 2题目，并且合理归纳出核心高频重点话题，以及做到思路敏捷，能有效将这些好用的核心话题扩展延伸至那些相似相通的“新话题”就显得尤其重要。建议考生将雅思口语Part 2以如下五大主题为类别，重点准备每类下面必须掌握的核心高频话题。

　　(1). People and Animal 人物和动物

　　1. 大厨

　　Describe a person you know who is good at cooking.

　　You should say

　　Who this person is

　　What is your relationship with this person

　　What kinds of food he or she cooks

　　And explain why you think this person is so good at cooking.

　　这道题看似“新题”，其实只是把传统的Part2的老话题“a person you know” 和“cooking” 这个本来出现在Part1 的题目移植到了Part2。

　　2. 穿戴时尚的人

　　Describe a person you know who dresses well.

　　You should say:

　　Who this person is

　　How you got to know this person

　　What he or she usually wears

　　And explain how you feel about the way he or she dresses

　　一看就可识别的Part2的老话题“a person you know”, 现在做了进一步的修饰限制“dresses well”。轻松便可把 Part1 的“clothes” 话题拿来应用，在谈谈 ”fashion” 就更好了。

　　3. 外语达人

　　Describe a person you know who is good at a foreign language.

　　You should say:

　　Who this person is

　　What foreign language he or she knows

　　How often he or she uses this language

　　And explain why you think this person can speak this language well.

　　本话题在2014年就频频出镜，典型的一道成熟的Part2的老话题。

　　4. 想合作的家人

　　Describe a family member you would like to work with.

　　You should say

　　Who this person is

　　What kind of person he or she is

　　Whether you’ve worked together before

　　And explain why you would like to work with this person (more than with other members of your family)

　　很明显，这是Part2的老话题“family member”和part1 的经典重复性话题“work”的一次“亲密接触”，将两者结合起来说，问题就迎刃而解了。

　　5. 有领导力的朋友

　　Describe a friend who you think is a good leader.

　　You should say

　　Who this friend is

　　How you first met

　　How other people behave towards him or her

　　And explain why you think he or she is a good leader.

　　细一看便可得知，考官将part2的两个古老话题“friend”和“good leader”做了一次合并，考生也可有效合并啦!

　　6. 让你笑的小孩

　　Describe a time that a child did something that made you laugh.

　　You should say:

　　When this happened

　　Who the child was

　　What the child did

　　And explain why it was funny.

　　很多考生会误会这道“新题”，其实，这也是过去的老话题经过了一段时间的休假后，重出考场，并披上了一身华丽的新衣“made you laugh”。若留心就会发现，这不就是part1的老话题“Do you want to make other people laugh”的又一次华丽转身罢了。

　　(2). Events 事件类

　　1. 刺激运动

　　Describe an exciting sport you know.

　　You should say

　　What the sport is?

　　How you know about it?

　　Is it difficult?

　　And explain why you think it is exciting.

　　抽到这个话题的，一定是人品爆发的结果，老话题的“不老”神话!

　　2. 对讨厌的人友善

　　Describe a time you were friendly to someone you didn’t like.

　　You should say

　　When and where it happened

　　Who he or she was

　　Why you didn’t like this person

　　And explain why you were friendly to him or her on that occasion.

　　整理一下思路，不难发现，将“angry experience”这个话题做了一次升华。考生可以将这个惹你生气的人变成你不喜欢的原因理由，然后再讲“being polite”这个话题有效利用，点出你做到了“friendly”就没问题啦!

　　3. 隐瞒真相

　　Describe a situation that others didn’t tell you the whole truth.

　　You should say

　　What the situation was

　　Who was involved

　　Why they didn’t tell you the whole truth

　　And explain how you felt when you found out you were not told the whole truth.

　　这道题，小心对题意的理解，什么是“didn’t tell the whole truth”? 言外之意，说话者已经告诉了你关于一件事情的一部分真相，而保留了一些信息。千万不要错说成“tell a lie”，说你受到了欺骗，某人对你撒了谎，造成作答跑题的悲剧!

　　4. 团队合作

　　Describe something you did with a group of people.

　　You should say:

　　What the thing was

　　When and where you did it

　　Whom you did it with

　　And explain why you did it with a group of people or what you learned from doing things with a group of people.

　　可以将老话题“happy experience”和人物类话题“friends or family members”有效结合来说。

　　5. 乐于助人

　　Describe a situation (or a time) when you helped someone.

　　You should say:

　　What the situation was

　　Who the person was

　　How you helped them

　　And explain how you felt after helping them.

　　这个和“give advice”话题，完全相通一致，只需把你获得的建议，说成是你给别人的建议帮助即可。

　　6. 早起经历

　　Describe a time when you get up early.

　　You should say:

　　When it was

　　What time you got up

　　How you felt when you got up

　　And explain why you got up early.

　　7. 教育旅行

　　从以上分享中不难发现，雅思口语考试的考题从以往笼统宽泛的话题，向着更为具体和细节的方向发展延伸。并且，考官很热衷于将原来的亲切Part1, Part2的老话题，彼此之间，互相碰撞重组，衍生出了更具有限定某方面细节的“新题”。需要广大考生铭记在心的是，雅思口语考试的初衷不是为了把大家难住靠倒，而是为了考察考生是否有能力在出国后可以与当地人进行较为流畅的英语交流。所以“What you say doesn’t matter, how you say it matters!”正是所谓的：“你回答问题的内容观点不是最重要的，但你如何将你的观点想法有效清楚地表达出来，还能地道漂亮的描述解释清楚，自然流利，有理有据。”虽然雅思口语考试朝着更为细节的方向发展，而这会让考生产生一种考题整体变难的感觉，但是雅思口语考试永远来源于生活，适之用于生活，所有考题一定是为了这个目标设定的。所以，考试的话题不会出现真正的“学术性的生僻题或怪难题”，只要考生口语能力到位，打好了词汇和句型的基础，就一定可以应对自如。

　　2015年上半年雅思口语的整体考情没有异常情况，“新题”也是有迹可循地正常更换升级。2015年的下半年，考生也可以重温这些经典核心考题，根据这些规律备考，预祝还在奋勇战斗的广大“烤鸭们”考试顺利!
