@考鸭采访还原：

　　又碰到Tea and coffee? 好怕怕。。。

　　考:

　　我只会说I like drinking coffee because I need it when I feel sleepy. 然后就没了，考官会觉得这样的答案不满意吗？

　　师:

　　可以让内容丰富一点，既然是tea and coffee的比较，我们在准备话题时要学会有效地充分准备语料，不要看一题，准备一题。

　　比如：

　　部分喜欢传统中国茶的还是中年和老年人，很多年轻人喜欢茶类饮料，维他柠檬茶、蜂蜜柚子茶、奶茶这些更受青睐。

　　In China nowadays, tea still plays an important role in people's daily life especially at home, restaurants and teahouses. Generally, elders are fond of the traditional tea-making for leisure and the original taste, while the youth prefer bottled tea drinks because of its convenience and various flavors.

　　咖啡文化 coffee culture

　　In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar, you are presented with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is ‘normal coffee’ for Italians and they are not so keen>

　　咖啡作用 coffee function

　　Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for lots of people, a creamy cappuccino and a cookie is the perfect way to start the day. Moreover, I might drink a cup of Americano to dispel the hangover. My friends told me it could also speed up the metabolism. Actually, I don’t believe it.

　　看，这样tea and coffee的话题语料就都出来啦，且part 1里任何的问题都可以覆盖哦。

　　遇到新题怎么办？除了尬聊尬笑以外，还能怎么办？

@考鸭采访还原：

　　考：老师，animal的这个part 2好难，我该怎么准备呢，赶紧说几句就没有了。。。

　　考:

　　傻笑ing……

　　师:

　　： Animals是考生们非常陌生的话题。知道动物的类型和称呼是远远不够的，我们需要知道的是喜欢这种动物的原因：外貌，有趣的习性或者如何在大自然的弱肉强食的环境下生存下来的。

　　比如：

　　I like to watch the programs called the ‘world of animals’ where shows fierce animals, like rattle snakes. The documentary records how rattle snakes prey upon the food and how to survive in extremely cold weather. 然后可以通过纪录片描述的习性来介绍动物，捕猎对象是谁，赞美可以通过介绍野生动物的强大生存能力来体现

本季话题趋势

　　Objects/Media; Events/Personal Experience

　　人物题新题只出了3个， 地点题新题只出了4个，大量新题出现在事物型话题和个人经历话题，对于考鸭的话语逻辑要求很高。话题愈发要求语言表达的细节支撑，故事抽象，事物抽象。

　　注意：

　　考生们如果是1月份考试，遇到新题的概率很大。想象一下，考官上一季已经被那些话题“折磨”了4个月，还想再拿“过气”话题来聊天吗？

　　新题的特点是偏向于“抽象事物”和“抽象经历”，什么意思呢？

　　看看艺术品、表演、团队合作、手机消息、挑战这些话题，是不是让考生还没进考场，就不寒而栗？

　　回忆一下以前我们在课上学的：抽象类话题,要求大家必须掌握一部电影/一部小说，一张画/一座雕塑，一首歌，一则新闻，一类综艺节目这5点要求吗，分别掌握这5项素材，抽象物品类百战不殆。

　　“那团队合作怎么办？“ 想想我们学校里做的project, 有没有遇到什么障碍，是怎么解决的？那么同时也是一个挑战类话题，团队沟通免不了线上沟通吧，那么手机短信自然就放进去了。所谓“抽象的经历”是对于考生们讲故事含糊不清做的一个定义。大家的性格和处事方式其实各有千秋，但偏偏把自己的故事说得和所有人一样，无新意，无诚意，无吸引力，故称为“抽象经历型话题”。

　　这些话题确实让口语考试的难度提升了，因为考题不光提高了对词汇使用的灵活度和准确度的要求，对于考生的话语阐述的逻辑性也提出了要求。故事说不清楚，没有细节支撑，就会抽象、笼统。“话语逻辑”是考生们在准备新题时需要特别注意的。更多雅思考试干货敬请关注新航道雅思考试频道
