雅思口语考试Part 1部分考生经常会被问到：

Question：What do you want to do when you finish university?

这个看似简单的问题，考生们经常很难给出一个完整的答案，不好的答案：

I want to go to Australia to do my continuing education when I finish university. I will work very hard to achieve my goal. However, I will have to pass my IELTS exam first.

这样的回答会得到一个比较低的分数，对于“What do you want/hope to do(in the future)?” 的问题类型，考官希望在考生的答案中能够包括以下几方面的内容：

1.思考一下自己的壮志雄心，然后选择一个想要完成的

2.解释原因，为什么想要完成这个愿望

3.说明希望如何完成

一个7分的回答会是：

When I finish university I would really like to go to Australia to study physics in Perth. I really hope to fulfill this ambition because I have heard that the education there is excellent, and Australia is also a place of great natural beauty. I think I will be able to succeed in doing this if I work hard and get a good score in my exams.

在这类雅思口语考题中,考官会期望考生能够正确应用以下的句型结构/语言知识点来进行回答：

使用"Would like"句型来谈论将来的期望

eg：

- I would like to become a journalist and travel the world when I graduate.

使用“I hope to do...”的句型

eg：

- I hope to be able to do a masters degree in Australia.

- I hope to become an expert in engineering and live in a mansion by the sea.

使用“If + 条件(现在时)+ I will”的句型

eg：

- If I get a good grade I will go and study in the USA.

- If I manage to get a masters in New York, I will return to China and start a family.

- If I use my imagination and stop memorizing, I will get a better score in my IELTS speaking.

Is the transport system convenient where you live?

- Formula 7: Is X popular in your country?

- This is NOT a question about where you live or the transport system -it is about groups of people. To get a high score you need to talk about the groups of people where you live and whether or not the transport system is convenient for them.

你住的地方交通方便吗?

-第7公式：Is X popular in your country?

-这不是一个关于你住哪儿或者交通的问题-而是关于人群。要得到，你必须表达你附近所住的邻居，以及交通为他们带来的便利。

Do you think safe-driving is important?

-Formula 14: How important is X

-This is a "degree" question (like all "importance")questions. It is testing your ability to talk about shades of grey.

你觉得安全驾驶重要么?

-第14公式：How important is X

-这是关于‘程度’(如‘重要性’)的问题。它是测试你在辨认黑灰白、好坏的能力。

Do you like working with other people?

-Formula 2: "What do you like about X"

-The key to Formula 2 questions (and this is a classic example) is to pick a thing you like about X (working with other people) and then give anecdotes. These questions are usually at the beginning of the test and are testing your ability to give simple stories.

你喜欢与其他人一起工作么?

-第2公式："What do you like about X"

-第2公式的关键点(也是一个经典的例子)是选择一样让你觉得和X(和其他人合作)合作得很好的原因，然后提供一些解决方案。这类问题经常会出现在考试中的部分，以测试你用简单故事举例的能力。

Do you like to travel?

-Formula 2: "What do you like about X"

-See my comments above. THESE ARE THE SAME QUESTION!

你喜欢旅游么?

-第2公式："What do you like about X"

- 参考以上的例子，问题都是一样的!

Which country would you like to travel to?

-Formula 15: What do you hope to do in the future?

-This is a future question (testing your ability to use the future tense!). To get a high score you need to choose a country (it doesn't matter which) and talk about why you hope to travel there (hence Formula 15)

你想去哪一个旅游呢?

-第15公式：你希望将来能够做些什么?

- 这是一个将来性的问题(测试你运用future tense的能力!)。要得到，你一定要选择一个(任选)，然后解释为什么你希望去那儿旅游(第15公式)。

What do you think is interesting in your country for travelers?

-Formula 6: What do you like most about X?

-This question is a little bit tricky. It is really asking what you like to visit most in your country (hence Formula 6), but making it a bit more complex because you need to justify this for a traveler (and not just yourself). But, just choose what you like to visit most and you can easily say that travelers would like that too!

你觉得你的吸引旅客的原因是什么?

第6公式-What do you like most about X?

-这问题具备一些挑战性。它其实是在问你在家乡喜欢在哪些地方旅游(第6公式)，但你得把你的意见形容成为什么会吸引游客(除了你自己以外)。简单的说，还是建议你先说说你自己想去什么地方，然后再推荐，说游客也会有兴趣!

先是外教给我写的作文

1 因为害怕crime不敢出门那篇，我觉得写得超强!!!

Crime is without doubt a huge problem in every country in the world. There are certain countries, cities, towns and districts where the crime rate is extremely high and such places are very dangerous places to be. Without doubt these areas desperately need new government policies and a shift in actions by the police to remedy a desperate situation. These places tend to be areas of high unemployment and poverty. If the focus were placed on finding and creating jobs in these places the crime problem would improve. Instead governments go for easy options such as increasing the lengths of prison sentences. This treats the results of crime, not it’s causes.

Nevertheless, such places are few and far between. The vast majority of places in the world are perfectly safe places to live. People who are afraid to leave their homes do so largely for two reasons. Firstly, they were unfortunate enough to be victim of a crime. Secondly, and most importantly, they hear about crime everywhere: TV, radio, papers. In some areas crime stories take up a huge percentage of news. If you hear about crime all the time, you begin to believe its everywhere. This is simply not the case.

Crime has been around since man first appeared on earth and will continue to be here till we leave. Of course there are measures governments could take to improve the situation but they can’t eradicate crime. What measures should be taken depend on ones political opinions.

2 科学研究是公司好还是政府投资好。

Societies search for scientific knowledge and answers to questions about out world is carried out through scientific research. This research should be conducted in an objective and unbiased way, by qualified professionals whose aim is to discover the truth and further the progress of out country.

Some may argue that private firms of industries are better suited to this task, as they have access to greater funding, more advanced technologies and can perhaps carry out the research with greater efficiency. However, question is often asked as whether the motives of such companies are fuelled by the desire to develop society, or by profit. For example, scientists who work for large tobacco or pharmaceutical companies are often under pressure to make discoveries, which cast the products they are researching in a favorable light.

Research carried out by scientists who are working for the government, on the other hand, may be less likely to be subjective, of even doctor their results for the goal of profit. It might be asserted that these people’s quest for scientific knowledge is more genuine and with an objective desire to capture solid fact. Even so, who can say for sure which agenda is being followed in the process of research? Even governments have something to prove to somebody.

Who should carry out scientific research should always be decided on a case by case basis.

3 体育和娱乐人士是否应该be highly valued. 跟篇是一个人写的

Sport and entertainment personalities have a much higher profile than professional workers thanks to the mass media. Especially in the tabloid press most stories ate focused around the world of sports and entertainment. This enables sportspersons and entertainers to be well known, respected and valued.

Rarely can stores be found about dedicated professional workers. A doctor saving a life or the latest teaching methodology isn’t fount page news.

Most children want to be sportspersons or entertainers as these are glamorous. Nevertheless, professional workers, especially in the caring sector are highly valued by the majority of society. The public realizes that without such people society would fall apart. Whereas without sports and entertainment life would be duller, but society would continue virtually unaffected. Sport stars and entertainers make news because their jobs and lives are interesting. few people want to read about the lives of everyday people, no matter how much their work may benefit society. But professional workers are valued.

As long as people realize the importance of professional works there is nothing wrong with the idolization heaped upon entertainers. As long as we buy newspapers and cable TV this trend will continue. This is unlikely to decrease the respect given to doctors, teachers, etc. by the majority of people.

口语卡片，自己写的，外教每篇都给改过。

Advertising plays a important part in out recent life. It’s just everywhere in the streets in the paper on TV and radio. As soon as we turn on the TVs, we can face the commercials pretty often.

There was an interesting advertisement for MacDonald’s which was shown on TV about 2 years ago. At the beginning of the advertisement, there were several children sitting in a classroom. A pretty girl who was their teacher wrote a number 3 on the blackboard. She looked at it for a while, and then she turned her head and looked at the number from another direction and smiled. The number looks like a big M and then all the children turned their heads and looked at the big M. Just then all the MacDonald’s food came out and the children enjoyed the food, cheered and laughed. The sound of laughing soon spread through the whole of the village where the school located. All the people in the village laughed and enjoyed the big Macs.

This advertisement was so lovely that I can’t forget so far. I like Macdonald’s too and I think it may be another reason why I can’t forget this advertisement. Actually, I like many MacDonald’s advertisements; they are all very interesting and can make me very happy. Every time when I eat or drink something in MacDonald’s, I like to watch the TVs there. Every advertisement on the TV makes me laugh and relaxed and feel comfortable. I think that’s why a lot of people like it.

I like all kinds of animals. I have two little dogs at home. They are really very cute and smart, and they always make me very happy. Although they can’t talk, I believe that they can understand human beings. Now, I’d like to introduce my favourite animal zebra.

Zebra is an extraordinary animal which lives on the plains of African savanna. It’s main food is grass. It’s interesting that the stripes on a zebra are just like the fingerprint on a human, each zebra has it’s own unique stripe pattern.

When a zebra is born, it’s pretty complicated because after the birth and when the baby zebra’s eyes open, their eyes can take in everything it sees.

The mother’s job is to shield the baby from seeing anything but herself. If the baby sees another zebra, it would see the other zebra’s stripe pattern, and it would think that the other zebra was it’s mother.

The father’s job is to ward off other zebras and any other animals that might harm the baby.

I think we should protect the wild animals, because they are friends of human beings.

BUILDINGS

In Beijing we have northern style of architecture. The houses here such as courtyards most look the same. Last year, when I went to shanghai , I was greatly impressed by one of the houses called yuyuan garden over there, with a history of more than 400 years. Now it is a park, but it was a family house of a rich official in ming dynasty. This house gave me a very great impression because it is different from Beijing . Northern and southern architectures are quite different. In the house, the walls are white and the roofs are black. The roofs are like this, and there are some decorations on the roofs. It has dragon-lined walls and woodcarvings on the windows. The atmosphere of peace, relaxation and comfort gave me a very nice feeling. I can guess in the past the people who lived there

Really enjoyed themselves with all these beautiful things around them, like pools with golden fish, very magnificent trees, which are over a hundred years old, and the furniture was made of tree roots, which is really expensive. I have never seen these kind of things in my life before. When I was sitting and relaxing in the house, I really have very bright feelings. I wish if I had a lot of money, I would like to live in a house like that, but probably I won’t have so much money. But at least everyone should make something different in his house. Because every person has his own personality. If you live in a very simple and cheap house, you can also make it comfortable and relax yourself there, that every time you come from work, you can take a good rest, and the next day, start work again.

Digital camera

There are many electrical machines for me to use in my life, such as MP3, TV, computer, microwave oven and electrical dictionary. Among them my digital camera is very important for me. I like photography and my digital camera is very exciting. I find it to be more convenient than a normal manual camera. All I need to do is be sure my batteries are recharged and I can take as many as 400 pictures. If I am unhappy with a photo, I can delete it immediately. The best thing is that when I get home, I can have a look at all my photos and decide which are the best. I can crop them to cut out some parts of the picture that I don’t really like. There are many more benefits too. I can add special effects to the pictures like change the contrast or make it a black and white photo. Another great thing is that I don’t even need to scan the photo to send to my friends. I can add pictures to my email directly

famous person / old person

I would like to say about one of the most famous singers in China. His name is Yang Hongji. During the last 30 years of his musical career, he has performed lots of beautiful songs and played in many operas with his stunning voice. Of course all my families like him very much. In fact, in his early years there was no one who knew him and no one wanted to notice him. He had been ignored for many years. But fortunately everything changed from 1995. That year, he sang the theme song to TV series: The stories of three kingdoms. He has put lots of his feelings into the song and of course this song made him succeed. His name became well-known for the whole country. After this, he appeared on TV and the stage frequently. And people began to be attracted by his mature, calm and his special voice. His voice has a mystery in it. Now, he is more than 60 years old. But he still continues his road in music. Though he is old, I think he is better than ever and I hope that he can bring us more and more beautiful songs.

Favorite communication method (11月13日考)

Nowadays there are many ways to communicate with others, such as sending emails, making telephone calls, sending short messages by mobile phone. Among them, face to face communication is my favorite way to communicate with others.

Some people believe that it is a fading phenomenon. These days, technological advances have successfully separated people from one another.

I like to see my friends face-to-face because you can get a greater understanding of meaning and nonverbal communication is easier to pick up by the other persons actions. Face to face communication is live and interactive, so you have got opportunities for feedback. You can tell when some one feels comfortable or uncomfortable and even if they might be lying or hiding some real meanings.

Also, in face-to-face communication we might hold our friends’ hand, or hug to say goodbye. A boyfriend or girlfriend might even give the other a kiss. Besides, you can have face to face communication anywhere. So I like it most.

something you made

I like to do cross stitching, and I have made a lot of cross stitching works. My favorite work is a picture of a cartoon whale. I made it 3 years ago, and it took me a whole week to finish it.

For the preparation, I went to the shop to buy the graph of this picture, a needle, a piece of fabric and the floss.

The first step is to find the center of the graph and the center of the fabric. I began with the centre to make sure that after I’ve finished the picture, the whale is in the center of the fabric.

Each symbol on the graph represents an X on the fabric, and the different styles of symbols on the graph represent different colors of floss. So the second step is to choose one symbol on the graph to start. It is important that all the X cross are in the same direction. So I work a row of half stitches and then work back to complete the Xs. When I have finish all the X of one symbol, I began to work on another.

The last step is to outline the picture.

I gave it to my best friend as a present of her birthday. She didn’t believe that it had been made by myself. She was happy to receive it.

I like to give my friends presents made by myself. I think they are priceless, because I really gave them from all my heart; they are a good part of me.

I met my best friend while I was in high school. We were in the same class and my seat was behind hers. She is a very lovely girl with an attractive face and big eyes. But for me her personality is the most attractive part of her. She is very humorous and interesting and fun to talk with. We chatted with each other very often and found out that we had lot of in common, so we became close friends soon. We had a lot of happy times together during the 3 years of high school.

Now we are in different universities, so we can not see each other every day. But we make telephone calls or sent short messages quite often. Every weekend, we meet each other, sometimes we go shopping, sometimes times we go to the karaoke because both of us like singing, and sometimes we go to the library to do some reading.

We have a lot of things to talk over. Sometimes we just do nothing at home, but I feel very comfortable just to stay with her.

I get along very well with her because we have a lot in common. We also support each other whenever any of us need help. And we are very honest with each other without any pretending. We can say things directly to each other. It is very important for good relationship. I will miss her a lot if I go overseas, but I think we can chat on line often, and feel as if we are still together.

I’d like to say about a piece of jewelry, which is my necklace. It’s not made of diamond, which it is too expensive for me, but my necklace is made of amethyst. I like amethyst very much. I think it is very mysterious and noble.

It is very important for me because my grandmother who has passed away last year gave it to me. And I was told the amethyst necklace had a history over 100 years. My grandmother also told me some stories of this necklace, and how her mother gave it to her. So it is very precious and I’m very proud that my grandmother passed it to me. Although it is not as shiny as a diamond necklace, all my friends say it is very unique and look nice on me.

I only wear it on special occasions when I attend formal ceremonies or parties. As many people pay attention to me, then I feel very of it and feel very exciting, and also very proud of my family. When some people in the party asked me where did you buy your unique necklace? I am always very proud to tell them that it was given by my grandmother and I wear it to keep good memories of her.

IDEAL JOB

I wish I could be an indoor rock climbing coach when I graduate from university, because it is my hobby. Now my major is accounting. It’s very for from rock climbing, as you know. But I believe when I am young I should do some exciting work to make my life colorful. I want to work in a gym, which has good facilities, because the rock climbing gyms are quiet, safe and comfortable. I can listen to the music while I am climbing.

I think this work is very exciting, because every day I can meet different people, who have the same hobby as me. And we can climb together, change our experience and make friends with each other.

I’ll hold classes for the beginners, because I think rock climbing is the best sports for both children and adults. It is a good way to keep fit, because you use all your muscles of you body. It’s not only good for your health, but also great for your confidence. It is a good sport to train the children’s self-confidence.

I believe that I well be a good coach, because I really love this sport, and I wish more and more people could to join it. And if I can do the work, which I really like, I will be very happy to do it and put a lot of effort in it and I will do it with my heart.

I like many kinds of physical exercises such as basketball, jogging, rowing, swimming, but my favourite is indoor rock climbing. I started to learn rock climbing last year. I think it is fun, and it is a very good to keep fit，because you use your muscles all over your body. And it is not only good for your health, but also great for your confidence. When I get to the top and look down, I feel like I achieved something that I can only get better and better. I really enjoy the feeling of accomplishment after finishing a difficult climb. If I have been climbing too much all my body was sore the next day, but I don’t mind as I know it is good for me!

Usually I go to the gym near my university, as it is very convenient, and I often meet friends when I am there. I go there about twice a week.

It is very good for me to do rock climbing, it is a good way to relax for me, when I do it, I can forget about many things that worried me, and get good relaxation. The next day I start my work again with a lot of energy.

The best present I have received is a cassette. It was given to me by my high school classmates and I consider it to be priceless.

In the first three years of my high school, my score grades were not good enough to go to university, so my parents sent me to a better school in another city. The first few days were very difficult, and the students there seemed to be interested in nothing except study. I felt very lonely, but nobody helped me. One day I received a parcel, and I opened it, there was only a cassette inside, and I put it into a recorder. When I heart the sound, I could not believe my ears. That was a song that was sung by my former classmates. The meaning of the song was that they missed me very much, and say if I have problems, I shouldn't forget to turn to them for help. This was my most unforgettable moment in my life. The song touched my heart and I couldn't control my tears.

because of their encouragement, I made all my effort into study. When I feel sad and something upset me of bother me, the cassette would give me strength.

Until now, I keep the cassette as my precious object although it is too old to listen to. Whenever I recall this present, I get such a warm feeling.

学校

I’d like to tell you about my high school. It was quite big and it had a pretty quiet environment. There were four buildings. Two of them were used for teaching, and the others were used as accommodations for students and teachers. There were a lot of trees on campus and I liked reading under the trees. We had a laboratory and a library. Facilities in our school were advanced, and teachers were professional. But what attracted me most was harmonious atmosphere. Our classmates who came from different parts of the city were friendly and helpful. We helped each other in our study. Our teachers were quite kind and warm-heated. They helped us overcome the difficulties not only in study but also in life. In order to reduce our pressure, they often organized us to go outing. After we graduated from high school, most of us went into university. And until now, some of us still keep in touch with each other.

Sports events

Sports are popular in china now, more and more people like to watch and take part in different sports.

There are many sports events held in china these years, such as F1, NBA and china super football league. To be honest, I don’t like to watch sports events, but there was one basketball league, which impressed me a lot.

It was the CUBA league. CUBA stands for china university basketball association, which was founded in 1985, and it did a lot of work in promoting the basketball sports on campus. In china, many famous universities put huge effort into succeeding in this league. During the 2001 season, CUBA activities enjoyed even greater popularity on campus. And I watched this game in that year, because my ex-boyfriend was a player of Nankai University in Tianjin. I went to Tianjin to see all his matches. Actually, I didn’t know much about basketball, even I couldn’t understand the match sometimes. However, the most thing impressed me is the strong will and team spirit of all the players. They put all their efforts and forgot all about injures and pains when they were playing. I think that’s the real meaning of sports.

In Beijing we have several ways of transportation. It’s very convenient to go anywhere you want. If you want to go far away, you can go by train, by plain or take a long distance bus. If you just want to go somewhere in the city, you can choose the car, the bicycle, the bus, the subway or the taxi. I want to introduce one of the very unusual means of transportation—rickshaw, which is still existing in china particularly in Beijing. It’s very comfortable and you can see the sceneries beside you. If there is a traffic jam, it’s very convenient to take the rickshaw. You can see many rickshaws at the back gate of Beihai Park. A lot of tourists take them for hutong tours, because it is very Chinese, traditional and unusual. It was the most common transportation in china about 100 years ago. Now the hutong tours have a history about 10 years, they have attracted lots of tourists from china and abroad and have made a big contribution to our tourism industry.

You can also see some rickshaws at some subway stations because there are too many traffic jams as the public transportation has not enough developed in some new built communities. One of my friend has an exciting experience of taking a rickshaw. One day he was late for school. When he got out the subway station, there was a terrible traffic jam; it is useless to take a taxi or bus, so he took a rickshaw. The old man was riding very slowly because my friend is a strong and a little heavy young man. So he asked the rider to sit at the back seat and he rode the rickshaw himself to school. He said it was the most exciting experience in his life.

When I have time I like to read the magazines, and my favorite magazine is called rayli, which is very popular in Asia. It was first published in Japan and now is has a Chinese version. I became very fond of it when I went to university 3 years ago. And all my friends like it.

The cover of this magazine always has a beautiful model or a famous actress to catch your attention, inside it is full of stories and articles about the latest fashions and lifestyle issues. It also has some tips on how to do makeup and how to dress appropriately in different occasions. So it is very useful for girls who want to be attractive. And there is also a shopping list on the back page of the magazine; you can know where to buy the beautiful clothes which the models dressed in the magazine. Probably half of the magazine is taken up by adverts, and the printing and photography is very high quality.

It is published twice a month, sometimes I buy it myself, and sometimes I borrow it from my friend. I benefit a lot from this magazine. All of my friends say that I have a good taste on clothes.

1.What do you think is the role of grandparents (old people) in a family?

In china, many grandparents take on the responsibility of primary caregiver for young babies. Many parents realize that the bond between grandparents and kids is rewarding for both generations. In today’s busy world, work demands make it difficult for parents to be as involved in their kids’ lives as they would like. In these cases, grandparents and extended family offer the greatest help to parents.

In addition, grandparents are often regarded as the anchor that keeps extended family members together; they play a unique and memorable role in the family.

2.What is your opinion on one child policy?

It is no doubt that a policy like one child policy in china right now will bring many good effects. As each couple is only allowed to have one child, they will do the best they can to give their children good education and good living conditions. They will do a lot to make their own children to be the best. It is favorable for the children’s growth financially.

However, many people are worried about that today’s children are more spoiled than ever. Many of the children are self-centered and lack the ability to co-work with others even though they perform well individually. Children often have much pressure of being successful and do not allow themselves to fail. I believe that it is a problem cannot be ignored because a well functioning society is result of group work rather than a number of individual performances.

3.What do you think of extended family and nuclear family?

I think each family module has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages: In an extended family, older adult can care for and teaching young, so that they feel they are useful and need.

As older adults are in this family, the whole family is more coherent- they help to keep the family relationship between the members.

In time of crisis, there will be more people to think about the solutions. And older adults might be more experienced in finding them.

While in a unclear family, people feel like they can enjoy greater mobility and privacy.

And more resources from time to money can be devoted to each member of the family.

Disadvantages: On the other hand, an extended family may have financial problems as there are more people in it and they have to share the available resources.

4. Are single-parent families unfavorable for children’s growth?

To be sure, children in single parent families can’t get the due love or care from the other parent compared to other ones from regular families.

As there is only one parent to support the family there are often financial problems caused by low income and a lack of child-care support.

This result in the fact that children living in single-parent families tend to slip behind their classmates. More seriously, some children will isolate themselves from their classmates and friends.

However, I know of persons who grew up in single parent families turned out fine. Children from single parent families are more independent and more strong-minded.

5.What are the roles that public libraries play?

The public library is an independent learning center. The library supports individuals of any ages pursuing a program of learning independent of any formal education system.

The library provides the latest materials in a variety of formats for people, such as books, magazines, CDs, cassettes and videos.

6.What public libraries will be like in the future?

All the materials like books, magazines and cassettes will arrive in compact disks, which will allow the reader to interact with, play with, and manipulate the information on his or her own computer.

7.What are the difference between Chinese music and western music?

I am not sure about this question. I do not know much about music as I only listen to it for relax. I am not an expert on it.

Advantages: Nowadays we have several programs on different channels. We have Business channel, News Channel, Sports Channel, Movie Channel. We can see news, entertainment programs, sports events, films, and serials on TV.

Disadvantages: TV is a very expensive medium and many countries do not have the technology and the money to make their own TV programs. The result is that most countries are dependent of TV of Britain and America. So, a lot of people feel that is a danger to local cultures in some countries.

9.Do you think it is necessary to hold music courses in schools?

Learning gained through music participation in school groups is not forgotten and will be of the utmost value to the children throughout their lives. Music is the strongest medium for personal social adjustment. Children singing or playing music in groups, adjust quickly to their environment. Music is the greatest aid in helping children to learn to work together through their unified group participation. And Music, more than any other subject, promotes teamwork, cooperation, self-discipline, respect for one another and the love of beauty.

10.How do you think weather affect us?

Weather affects people in many ways.

Bad weather like heavy rain and storm always makes people’s daily activities difficult. People don’t like to go out on a rainy day.

The weather can also affect our mood. Like when the days are extremely hot, and we feel irritated or moody for no apparent reason. And what about when it is cold or rainy and gloomy and we feel sad or even depressed, but we can’t quite put your finger on it.

11.How does climate affect the style of buildings?

Changes in the weather, such as rainfall, wind and the frequency of storms will affect the way our homes and offices are designed and constructed.

The kind of differences can be seen by comparing the building in different regions. The buildings in windy regions are built with this in mind that they can stand up to more severe weather. In rainy regions, building and roofs are designed to shed water as quickly as possible.

12.How do you make Chinese dumplings?

The parcels are stuffed with a mixture of minced pork or other meat, finely chopped vegetables, oil, salt, water and soya sauce.

The dumplings are sealed. Then boil them in a pot for a few minutes.

16.How can pets help people emotionally?

Pets are so good for us, physically and emotionally, because their love, loyalty consistency, and forgiving natures offer people great comfort.

Pets can help us relax and focus our attention away from our problems and worries. Watching fish in a aquarium, or the activity of birds can be very soothing.

Pets can help alleviate feeling of loneliness and isolation. Everyone needs to feel needed and have someone to care for. Many elderly citizens or persons living alone will tell you their pet gives them a reason for living.

20.What do you think of the fact that more and more Chinese have begun to celebrate some foreign festivals?

As cultural exchange expand between china and the west, it appears that the Chinese especially young people are more eager for foreign festivals rather than their own traditional Chinese festivals.

Youngsters love foreign festivals because of the joy and pleasure in them. As to the difference between foreign festivals and traditional festivals in china, some think that Chinese festivals rest on material activities of eating and clothing, while foreign ones pay much attention to communication of feelings and ideas. Meanwhile, others think they become too tired during traditional festivals but feel free and easy going during foreign festivals.

21.What are Chinese customs of the newborn?

The first important event for the newly born baby is the one-month celebration. On the morning of the baby’s 30th day, sacrifices are offered to the gods so that the gods will protect the baby in his subsequent life. Ancestors are also virtually informed of the arrival of the new member in the family. According to the customs, relatives and friends receive gifts from the child’s parents. Usually the gifts are red eggs, which are the symbol of changing process of life and harmony and happy life. They also return some presents including children’s clothes, gold or silver wares. But the commonest are some money wrapped in a piece of red paper. In the evening, the child’s parents give a rich feast at home or a restaurant to the guests at the celebration.

22.What do Chinese think about generation?

Chinese put their family in a very important position as they regard it as a means to keep the family blood stream continuously running. That is why children production and breeding in china becomes a focus of all members of families. It is even accepted by them as an essential moral duty.

A good name for a child is considered equally important. The Chinese think a name may somehow determine the future of the child. Therefore, all possible factors must be taken into account when they are naming their children.

First, the Chinese educational system is a comprehensive and complete educational system, including preschool education, primary, secondary, university, and postgraduate education. Schooling starts at the age of 6 and education is compulsory for the next 9 years.

Second, the Chinese educational system is a highly competitive educational system. Because of the huge population and the limited space in colleges and universities, entrance to higher educational institutions must be very competitive. A nationwide unified college entrance examination system has been adopted. As a result, almost all students in primary and secondary schools are focused on that college examination.

25.What do you think of distance education?

Distance education has advantages and disadvantages and whether one outweighs the other depend quite often on your personal abilities.

Taking distance program is a favorable means of study if you do not have regular time to attend classes in the university. For instance, it is good for people who have to work during the daytime.

But we realize that motivation, time management, isolation and communication are problems faced by the students studying from home.

However, if you have the ability of studying on your own and also have the strong-mind and self-disciplines, you can also get good results.

26.What is your opinion on studying abroad?

Studying abroad is a good experience for college students. You can learn something different from what you can learn in your country. The programs offered by universities of different countries may be different in content, concepts and views covered and the assumptions and values they are based on. And studying in a foreign language is worthwhile for language practice. Living abroad itself can also be a great experience for you. These experiences will help you understand the people and their culture better.

But, studying abroad is not necessarily an easy, pleasant, and happy experience for everyone. You cannot see your family and friends for a long time; you can’t expect their help. And you may find hard to adjust to the local food.

However, these hardships make you better educated and trained. You will find much joy and satisfaction in overcoming these hardships.

27.Do you think patent is important in the modern society?

First, the offer of patent protection encourages the inventor to make the invention.

Second, since the inventor must describe the invention in the patent, and copies of the patent may be purchased by the public, then the knowledge of the invention is made available to everyone. If it were not for the patent law many inventors would be unable to develop their inventions and would abandon their ideas, and many others would keep them secret as long as they could instead of publishing them in patents which stimulate others to make still further inventions.

28.What inventions do you think are the greatest in Chinese history?

There are 4 greatest inventions in Chinese history, namely, papermaking, printing, gunpowder and compass.

By the 3rd century AD, Chinese scientists had studied and learned that iron ore tended to align itself in a North/South position. Scientists learned to make magnet by heating pieces of ore to red-hot temperatures and then cooling the pieces in a North/South position. The magnet was then placed on a piece of reed and floated in a bowl of water marked with directional bearings. These first navigational compasses were widely used on Chinese ships by the 11th century AD.

29.What are the advantages and disadvantages of renting an apartment?

A: you only have to pay a small initial investment involves a minimum financial risk and does not limit investment flexibility, and monthly costs are easier to predict since maintenance and repair costs are usually part of the tenant’s rent. And also you have freedom to move and travel.

D: Tenant’s activities and improvements may be restricted by the lease, such as not allowing pets. Renting apartments usually provides less space than a house. You may not have a garden or large, private outdoor space.

30.How do people benefit from local parks and open places?

Playgrounds and sports fields offer places where children and adults can play organized sports and informal games, which are good for health.

Wetlands, natural areas and vegetated parks help filter pollutants from the air and water and reduce noise pollution.

31.What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in cities and living in the countryside?

Living in cities is often easier to find work, and there is usually choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. City life is full of bustle and variety and you need never feel bored.

However, living in the city is often very expensive. It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in rush hour, and even the parks can become crowed on weekends.

You can live near the nature if you choose to live in the countryside, and it is much cleaner than in cities because there are not so many cars and factories. Also, you can have a big house and a big yard around your house. You can keep pets, and your neighbors don’t complain as easily as in a city.

When you move into the country, finding a job is more difficult, and there are not many shops and distances from the downtown are long.

32.What are the difference between young and old when they choose living positions?

City life can be particularly appealing to many young people, who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get older, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside.

33.What are the advantages and disadvantages of self-employment?

Self-employment offers the advantage that you can control your time, it means that you can have a holiday whenever you feel tired or stressed.

Income is likely to be much more irregular in self-employment. And balance between work and the rest of your life can be difficult to manage if you work for yourself. There are no other workers and no boss to start work and what time to go home. Support and expertise can be more difficult to access when you work for yourself. In a large organization there will be many experts to provide specialist support with, for example, legal or financial matters. Working for yourself, you will need to buy in these services or learn the relevant skills yourself.

34.What job-hunting method do you think is the most effective and fast?

Many job seekers are finding out about the power of the Internet. On-line job searches are becoming more popular as people find out the advantage of connecting with larger and larger numbers of potential employers. In addition, resumes and vital information about employees can be delivered cheaply and almost instantaneously over the Internet.

35.What are the advantages and disadvantages about online job-hunting?

A: you can connect and communicate with people anywhere in the world.

Information is timely and frequently updated.

Information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The accesses to many job website are free.

D: the information on the internet can be volatile and sites change quickly.

You cannot expect privacy or security for resumes submitted on the web. Anyone can see your resume when it is posted.

Each site works differently so you must explore and learn to use each site.

36.What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of working abroad?

A: experiencing life, culture and working practices in other countries can be seen as making a positive contribution to your career development.

It is also worthwhile for language practice.

It is an enlightening experience that broadens horizons.

D: Not good for everybody. Culture shock is an unsettling experience for many.

You cannot see your family and friends for a long time; sometimes it is very lonely.

It is very expensive to live abroad. Even if you are earning abroad you are unlikely to be able to fund all your travel and accommodation.

37.Do you think athletes deserve high salaries?

Maybe they are, but I don’t really believe that athletes are over paid. People don’t understand how the lifestyle of a professional athlete really is or who would get the money we spend if the athletes didn’t get it. They just see those astronomical numbers and think that it is unfair that us working class people don’t make that amount of money. Professional athletes are some of the most dedicated, hardest working people in the world. They don’t just play during their season, they have to train year round or they will lose their job.

Fans pay to watch the game. Different broadcasting corporations pay the team to cover and air the game. All of this money goes to the owner of the particular team. The owners, in turn, then pay their players their salaries. The truth of the matter is that the owners actually make the most money and only distribute a small portion of it to their hard working employees. Athlete’s salaries must stay high to keep the level of competition where it is, and keep striving to get better.

38.Why do many countries apply to host great sport events?

The hosting of international sport events offers the potential to bring direct and significant benefits across a broad range of government priorities and can act as a catalyst for the achievement of other objectives.

Economic benefits include job creation, regional development, increased tourism, increased exports, enhanced infrastructure and increased tax revenue.

Social benefits range from unique work experience including training and youth participation, to volunteer promotion and increased emphasis on fitness and health.

39.What are the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping?

A: online shopping is available all the time. The stores never close. People can shop 24 hours a day and 7 hours a week.

The selection of consumer goods may be even greater than what are found in a traditional store.

You can compare shops for features, quality and price on line easily instead of using time and energy driving to different stores to compare shops.

D: there are so many choices online that confusion results. Sometime it becomes harder, not easier, to make a decision.

You should carefully check out the total amount you will pay including the cost of shipping and handling as well as sales taxes. Sometimes to buy online may be more expensive than in local stores even if the price of the product is less.

You should also consider about the privacy and security of your information before buying online.

40. What are the advantages and disadvantages of big supermarkets?

A: It is a very convenient way of shopping because people can choose the product they want from a large rang and have the possibility to get to know new products.

People don’t have to carry things but just take a trolley, and people an wheel your trolley to their car, load their stuff in to the car boot and leave the basket or trolley near by to be collected by the store attendant.

D: on the other hands shopping in supermarkets can be annoying for there is a big choice which can cause confusion. People often buy unnecessary things because they seeing to have a good price and you buy things that you did not plan to buy earlier.

41.How does tourism benefit a country?

Tourism generates foreign exchange.

Tourism generates local employment both directly in the tourism sector and in the various support and resource management sectors.

Tourism stimulates profitable domestic industries in hotels, restaurants, transport systems, souvenirs and handicrafts, and guides.

Tourism improves intercultural understanding and global communication.

42.How has the physical environment changed in china in recent years for early childhood education?

A kindergarten often has several classroom buildings surrounding an enclosed playground. The playground contains equipment for children’s activities.

Each group of children has its own classroom, bedroom for afternoon naps, and playground, which is good for the safety of the younger children and easy for the teacher to regulate.

43.How do Chinese families invest in the education of children?

In recent years, many Chinese families are spending more and more on education of their children. Many parents try to send their children to the best kindergartens, schools for better educational environment with qualified teachers, regardless of higher tuition fees.

Also, going abroad to study has become a trend among young Chinese. Chinese parents believe there are several advantages to their children’s going abroad to study. So many Chinese families sent their children to study in Britain, the USA, and Australia to study at extremely high cost.

44.What measures does the government have in your country to protect environment?

To date, the Chinese government has enacted 12 laws and over 20 regulations on environmental protection, as well as 250 environmental standards.

The Chinese government also has adopted various measures to curb environmental pollution. The ratio of environmental protection funds keeps rising in resent years. Huge achievements have been made in industrial and urban pollution control, and environmental pollution has been brought under control in some areas.

45.What are Chinese people’s opinions and measures to protect environment?

In recent years, people’s awareness of environmental protection has been an unprecedented upsurge, and an increasing number of people have begun to make efforts for environmental protection and given their support to the government’s work in this regard.

In most of the cities around china, residents consciously use cloth bags instead of plastic ones, take care not to litter, or contribute to the fight against sandstorms by volunteering to plant trees and grass.

46.What effects do you think global warming will bring us?

Global warming will have different effects in different parts of the world. Scientists around the world are blaming global warming for extreme weather events such as severe droughts, floods and storms. Climate changes will affect people everywhere.

Warming will change climate patterns around the world. We can expect more storms, more droughts, more floods, hurricanes, frosts and t heat waves.

Wildlife habitats will change with the climate. The change will probably be too fast and many species are likely go extinct.

Global warming also changes the ways of life and health of human beings. Summers become hotter and winters become warmer. People have to adjust themselves to the changes physically and mentally.

47.What should people do at home to save energy?

Always turn the lights off when you leave a room and adjust to your curtains to let in as much light as possible during the day.

Don’t leave the door of the fridge open for longer than necessary, as cold air will escape. Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge; allow it to cool down first.

Try to take shower instead of bath. An ordinary shower uses only half of the water needed for a bath.

48.What are the advantages and disadvantages of email?

A: email is fairly fast. The deliveries of the massages only take a few seconds.

And email is a kind of communication that doesn’t occur at the same time. So the recipient can read the message at any time, which is convenient for him or her. This is a very useful factor for communication between long distances and different world time zones.

Another important advantage in use of email is its rather cheap service.

D: email has quite low level of security and privacy. Sometime the massages may be delivered to the wrong address because of the transmission error or the incorrectly typed address.

Another thing that can be considered as a disadvantage is that in many cases the storage limit of the email inbox is not that big. This mainly goes for online free services.

49.What are the advantages and disadvantages of advertising?

A: advertising may lead to increased sales and greater competition, which lead to mass production, better quality and lower prices.

Advertising informs the consumer about the various products on the market, which leads to a better choice.

D: advertising is expensive and if it fails to increase sales, prices will increase.

Consumers are tempted to purchase goods and services witch they do not really needed.

Also, it is not good for the beauty of our city. For example, billboards can deface natural features. Leaflets may be thrown away when handed out in public, which adds to pollution.

50.Do you think the private lives of public figures celebrities should be open to press scrutiny?

For the public political figures, people have rights to know about those in power over them, because their salaries are paid for by the people through taxes. The decision made by the political figures affect many aspects of people’s lives; in exchange the people have the right to know what kind of leaders they have.

I don’t think the mass media should focus too much attention on the people like athletes and movie and music stars. I know that their lives are much more interesting than the normal people, but this should not be a reason to deny the right to privacy of these famous people.

雅思阅读中的段落信息配对题是考生心中永远的痛，因为这一类题目的特点是：题干非常短，出题范围非常大，同义表达非常多。

这一类题目往往是以“Which paragraph contains the following information?”开始，然后给出小小的几个短语，问考生究竟文章中哪一个段落提到了这么一个小小的概念。一看到这样的题目，考生的心里就油然而生出一种大海捞针的悲凉感。

这一类考题被称为雅思阅读中难度大的一类题，大家通常使用得很多的“定位词”技巧在这一类题目面前会显得束手无策，因为定位词很可能根本就不会出现。那么这一类题目应该怎么做呢?请看下面的例子：

剑桥雅思6 - Test3 – Passage 1 – Page 65 这是一篇讲电影发展史的文章

在这篇文章中，第1-5题便是段落信息配对题，它的题干是这样的：

Which paragraph contains the following information?

1， the location of the first cinema

2， how cinema came to focus on stories

3， the speed with which cinema has changed

4， how cinema teaches us about other cultures

5， the attraction of actors in films

按照我们以前划出定位词的做法，很可能题便会划出first cinema，期待着能够在文中找到first cinema这个词，或者划出location这个词，期待能够找到location。但如果这样做的话，本文一直到末尾也没有提到两个短语。在此，我推荐一种联想法，对关键词所在的类别进行联想，操作步骤如下：

首先判断出题干中让我们去寻找的核心概念是什么。在题中，核心概念便是location。

第二步便是开始联想，如果是自己写文章，那么我们自己会怎么去表达一个location。当然会说出一个地理位置来表示，比如中国、美国、伦敦、北京等地理概念。

有了这个思维之后，我们便可以回文中寻找出现过的地理概念，全文中只有两处，一处是A段落中的Paris，巴黎，一处是E段落中的America，美洲。只需再仔细阅读这两个地理名词所在的句子，便能知道，只有巴黎所在的句子中提到了电影院开设于此。所以题的便找到了，就在A段落。

按照同样的思路，我们可以知道，第3题的核心概念是speed，即电影院改变的速度。

那么联想一下自己会怎么描述一样东西改变的速度，应该会写到“XX的改变真是快(慢)啊，10年一眨眼就过去了”云云。所以文中也理应出现“快、慢”或者时间词。于是回文中寻找。出现了“快慢”以及时间的地方就只有J段落。仔细阅读该句话发现说的正是“一切发生得太快了”。于是我们便可以毫不犹豫地把第三题选上J。

以此类推，对于段落信息配对题，便使用这种联想法能够使你很快地揣测到需要去寻找的是什么样的一类词。掌握了这种方法，段落信息配对题不再是令人头疼的题目了。

分析这一评分描述，我们可以发现，5分和6分的本质差别在于----6分体现了图表的主要特征和总趋势，而5分则是对图表的数据细节进行机械描述或完全没有数据。正所谓5分的小作文是“见树不见林”，而6分的文章是“见林不见树”。可以说，任何考生只要在这一评分项目上多花点功夫，取得6分都不是件难事。

对此，小作文的实战考试中时间分配可以如下：

步骤一：审题，找出题目的要求，从而完成评分描述“Task Achievement" 条the requirements of the task (<2分钟)

具体来看：阅读文字部分shows后面信息，找出题目的topic, time, place

阅读图表的标题、横轴与纵轴的文字信息，尤其注意纵轴单位、图标内的对象所包含的文字信息。

上面这道例题中应关注：

" cinema attendance ""by age group" "at least once a year"

"in Australia"

"between 1990 and the present, with projections to 2010"

"percentages"

"14-24 year olds" "25-34 year olds" "35-49 year olds" "50+ year olds"

以上信息都需要在作文中体现。

步骤二：观察数据，找出主要特征和能证明这些特征的关键点。(<3分钟)

自07年以来，小作文的描述对象数量基本保持在三者之上。并且表格题和柱状图这些多数据的图表出现频率相当高，如何根据数据的异同来对繁多的数据进行有效分类，并归纳出每一类别的共性，成了当前评判作文能否在" Task Achievement"进入6分的标准。所以备考时考生应多加关注这种归纳能力的锻炼，考试时，该部分也应给出足够时间思考，做到“三思而后行”。

步骤三：文章撰写(15分钟左右)

当前小作文的写作常用大纲：

Introduction：

题目改写(引出topic)

对象分类 (表明写作思路)

Body：

组别一：共同点(topic sentence)

特点一：(描述+数据)

特点二：(描述+数据)

……

组别二：共同点(topic sentence)

特点一：(描述+数据)

特点二：(描述+数据)

……

Conclusion:

重申主要特征

或指出某个未提及的特点

备注：Conclusion部分可省略。所以如把小作文放在大作文之后写，时间不够可放弃该部分写作，对分值不会有大的影响。

步骤四：检查(1分钟)

此时，不宜做大的修改，把笔误的部分改掉即可。

一般语言水平在大学四级左右的考生，根据本文的步骤，重点关注第二步，必能在考试中取得至少6分的佳绩。

图表作文的题目要求明确提出了对考生的两大考核要点：对重点信息的判断和总结能力;对相关数据的判断和比较能力。

09年考试的比例分配和相关规律将很有可能在2010年得到延续，因此，对于计划在2010年参加A类考试的考生来说，雅思建议以下几个方面将是备考的重点。

集中考核点：柱状图

柱状图的难点在于多柱形的综合考核，需要考生有较好的纵向和横向的比较能力，并且需要考生在罗列信息点时有很好的逻辑性，因此这一考核点在2010年极有可能仍然作为考察的重点，以测试考生对较为复杂图形的综合能力。

EXAMPLE:

The bar chart below shows the amount of land damaged by tree-cutting, over-grazing and farming in four different areas in the world (Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe).

该题的特点是图表信息量大，并且涉及四个、三种land damage的原因及其相对应的土地流失的面积三项指标，对于这样的复杂柱状图，考生需要有很好的逻辑性才能将其合理的布置在150字的短小文章中，而这正是考生在柱状图的练习过程中需要重点强化的内容繁冗信息量考核点：线性图和表格图。

对于线性图的考核，雅思分析认为2010年的趋势将集中在趋势较为波动复杂的图形考察上，对于这类图形，如果考生盲目按照图线进程进行描述往往会导致费时费力且冗长的结果。

EXAMPLE:

The graph below shows the percentage of people in different age group who went to the cinema once or more every week in Great Britain between 1990 and 2001.

该题的特点是四条曲线每条都十分曲折，而时间和篇幅则不允许考生进行过分细节性的描述，因此对于这一考核的趋势，考生应该多注意把握总分结构和综合描写的能力。

而对于表格题来说，向来趋势性的不明确都是考生较为迷惑的地方，为加大对考生综合数据能力的考核，这一考核点在未来很有可能仍将是考试的重点。

综合考核点：复合图表

复合图表往往具有较大的信息量，因此雅思建议考生在这类图表的考核中，必须在审题和构思的部分就要保持清醒的头脑，切勿对数据进行零散的分布式描述，从而导致文章的杂乱性。

非主流考核点：非数据类图表

在08和09年的非数据类图表考核中，地理变迁图和流程始终是考核的重点，考生对非数据类图表往往心存恐惧，而原因多半来自于平时的疏于练习，因此，雅思建议考生可以在备考过程中注意往年考题的练习和总结。

细节考核点：考查内容的rewriting练习

2010年图表作文的考察内容仍将集中在性别分配，年龄分配，教育和能源等方面，而大多数考生在图表作文练习的过程中都将全部的重心放在数据描述的练习上，而忽略了对考察对象的rewriting练习，而对于想取得的同学，则往往出现rewriting时表述偏差或不合理的问题，所以，雅思提醒考生应该在平时通过对过去考题和重点考察内容的改写练习加强这方面的能力。

网友：老师我特别怕选择题，错的比填空还厉害。应该如何做选择题呢?

：选择题错的多主要是读题和判断选项的问题。在读题方面，不要试图一下子读完所有的题干和选项，那样必然会有几道题根本没来得及读，那样的后果会很严重。我建议你先读题干，再读常选项，边读边标注重点。段选项可以省略预读这一步。因为它们在听到的时候扫一眼就都看到了，不值得浪费前面宝贵的读题时间。在选项判断方面，注意不要期望听力原文和答案的词句相同，如果真有大规模相同词句的选项，在单选中却往往是错误选项呢。你要听到信息后找它在选项中的替换重现。替换有很多中可能性，有时甚至用反义词来替换。比如在剑桥四test 1 section 3中，说道搬家原因时，原文中是“so the tenants move to somewhere quieter”,答案应该选的是noisy。这里noisy和quieter是反义的关系。

网友：老师，我1月9号考试section 1 错的和section 4一样多，这是我第三次考试了，每次section 1错的都不少，我觉得这是由于没进入状态。这有办法吗?

：这位同学自己总结的很好，主要是没有进入状态的原因。想要进入状态，同学要从两个方面努力。，你应该调整自己的听力习惯。比如，在考前尽量在早上9点多的时候听听力，而不要在晚上睡觉前或者半夜，这样把你的听力兴奋点和考试的时间协调起来。建议你也可以在听力考试当天提前听点英文预热，用section 1来预热自然会降低这部分的得分。

第二，你应该调整自己的心态，不要过于紧张。心情太紧张自然会降低表现。而考试刚开始的时候又是心情难平静的时期。所以建议你进考场后打开听力考卷之前这段等候时间给自己一些积极的心理暗示，以好的状态进入考试。

网友：老师您好，雅思听力通常会出现旧题，请问您对熟悉和背已经预测的机经是否赞提倡?背机经答案是否会干扰临场上听到的内容?我是这个月23号考试的学生，不知道后一个星期是不是应该看机经~请求您的建议.

：我个人不建议学生把机经书全背下来，我觉得那是既不必要也不现实的。听力机经有两种我推荐的用法。用法一是当做能力提升的复习资料，熟悉常考词汇和常考场景问题。比如，机经看多了你就会发现只要是学生找工作常见的工作是assistant, receptionist，还考过waiter, cleaner等。常见的工作内容是answer the phone.用法二是当培训用，在考前按照老师的预测看看有可能在你的考试中出现的一些真题，有个印象，这样听的时候会感觉比较顺利，另外熟悉有可能考到的填空词的拼写。你说的类似于第二种情况。现在离你考试还有十天左右，这种用法是非常可行的，对你会有很大帮助。背机经答案不太会干扰临场的听力。试想，一套剑桥听力，你是做过一次再做正确率高呢，还是直接做正确率高呢?

网友： 老师，我听剑7的时候，基本上都能听懂，可是到后写单词的时候，感觉这个单词很熟悉，就是不知道怎么写~是单词量不够还是怎么的?

：这很可能是因为你的听觉词汇量不够。雅思听力中的生词有三个方面。纯粹生词，听觉生词，和拼写生词。纯粹生词可能并不是很多，往往有词听到后觉得很耳熟，却就是不知道是哪个词，可是一看答案发现时自己认识的，这种属于听觉生词，是影响听力成绩的。另外还有一些词是拼写容易出问题的，也就是拼写生词，如accommodation, magazine等。同学需要做的是增加对词汇的听觉印象，同时提高拼写的度。
