眾所周知，雅思口語的題目相對而言是比較固定的，尤其是口語的第一和第二部分，一年三次的換題規(guī)律依然在繼續(xù)著，所以這對于廣大考生而言無疑是雅思考試的bonus。雖然口語話題覆蓋了方方面面，題目千千萬萬個，但是根據全國各地考生們提供的考試經驗，我們可以總結出口語考試的一些高頻話題。本文中，新英美教育海外考試研究中心的專家將來和廣大考生們一起分享一下這些高頻考題的答題思路以及如何避免俗套、巧拿高分。

Part1高頻話題

1.Workorstudies

毫無例外地，workor

studies保持著每年甚至每場必問的高頻率。其實詢問關于工作和學習的狀況一直被看作是正式考試前的一個必經步驟，是考官正式開始對話前的一個鋪墊。同時，這也是考官決定將要在接下來的時間里問你哪些話題而不問哪些話題的一個指示燈。換言之，如果你是工作人士，考官自然不會過多地把話題主動涉及到喜歡的學科和學校等，而是更多地關注生活和工作等方面。如果你是一個高中生，考官也不會刻意去問你關于員工福利、加班工作等問題。但是我們要意識到一點，作為整場考試的一個開端，它決定了考官對你的第一印象。夸張點說，考生一張嘴，考官就默默地在心里開始給你打分了。所以嚴肅認真對待第一部分的第一個話題是每個考生的任務。由于每一類話題的題量較多，我們只選擇其中一部分題目進行分析。

Q1:Whatworkdoyoudo?

A:I’mworkingasanaccountantinaprivatepanynowandIhavebeenin

thispositionformorethantwoyears.Besides,it’sactuallymyfirstjob.

Q2:Whydidyouchoosetodothattypeofwork?

A:Well,accountingwasmymajorinuniversityanditseemsnaturaltobe

anaccountant.Moreimportantly,Ilovethismajorand,ofcourse,thiswork,

becauseit’sactuallyrewarding,particularlywhenwe,allaccountants,wrapup

theyear-endfinancialstatement.It’slikeI’vedoneahugeworkthat

significantlyaffectsthewholepany.

第一部分的題目簡單回答就好，三四句話左右較好。只答一句使對話顯得不流暢不自然，答得太多又顯得刻意。所以我們一般三句話左右能把問題答完，也能補充點細節(jié)使對話可以繼續(xù)下去。關于工作的題目基本上是比較固定的，無非是詢問工作類型、工作內容、工作場所和選擇這份工作的原因等，考生根據實際情況回答即可。

下面我們再來看一下關于學習的問題：

Q1:Whatsubjectareyoustudying?

A:(高中生)I’mstudyingarangeofsubjectslikemaths,chemistry,biologyand

English,andIlikemostofthem,particularlymaths.EverytimeIworkouta

hardquestion,Icanfeelgreatlyrewarded.

A:(大學生)Well,mymajorismanagementaccounting,soIlearnalotof

subjectsrelatedtomanagementlikefundamentalaccountingformanagement

decisionsandsoon.

Q2:Doyouprefertostudyinthemorningsorintheafternoons?

A:Idefinitelyprefertostudyinthemorningsbecausemymindisclear

andIcaneasilystayfocusedwithaclearmind.However,ifIstudyinthe

afternoon,particularlyafterhalf-dayworkorotheractivities,Icanhardly

putmyselfpletelyinstudybecauseIfeelexhausted.

關于學習的問題大多是關于學科、專業(yè)、喜好程度、學習習慣等?？忌鷤兏鶕约旱膶嶋H情況來答題，中學生和大學生們要適當選擇自己所學的科目并配合自己的喜好來回答相應題目，但是要注意盡量不要在評論學科時只給出消極因素，比如學科太無聊，也要說說學科的好，比如實用、鍛煉思考能力等。

2.HomeorAmodation

本話題可以算是除了工作學習之外的第二大經典高頻題，全國各個考場每年每場考到的次數也相當多，對于考生居住的場所類型、時間、周圍環(huán)境等進行提問。這里我們選擇三個相對來說比較高頻的題目來進行分析。

Q1:Whatkindofhousingdoyoulivein?/Doyouliveinahouseora

flat?

A:Iliveinaflatwithmyparentsnowandwehavebeenlivinginthis

flatforalmosttenyears.

A:NowIliveinadormwithanotherfivegirlsinuniversity.Weareall

goodfriendsandmostofthetimeweeattogetherandhaveclassesatthesame

time,soit’sreallynicelivinginadorm.

Q2:Arethetransportfacilitiestoyourhomeverygood?

A:Iwouldsayyes.ThereareseveralbusesingtomyhomeandIcan

reachquitealotmost-visitedplacesinmycity.Also,thereasubwayline

goingnearmyhomesoIcancatchthesubwayonconditionsofrainyorsnowy

days.

Q3:Whatpartofyourhomedoyoulikethemost?

A:Mybedroomisobviouslymyfavourite.It’slikemyownlittleworld

whereIcanenjoymyprivacyandtimepletely.Idoassignmentsandenjoy

moviesatmydesk,playmyguitarnearmywindows,andwhenI’mtired,Ijust

lieinbedandreadanovel.ItoffersmepeacesoIfancymybedroommost.

這幾個題考生們在回答的過程中要注意結合實際經驗，把自己真正做過的事和感受一并描述出來，這樣更貼近生活，讓你的回答聽起來更易理解和感同身受，而不是那么生硬。

3.Hometown

作為每年每場必問的第三高頻話題，hometown不出意料的占領著第一部分話題的三甲。這個話題多是關于考生的家鄉(xiāng)基本狀況，考生對于家鄉(xiāng)的喜好評價等。我們選出三個最常問的問題，來一起分析該如何回答相關問題。

Q1:What’syourhometown?

A:MyhometownisQingdao,acoastalcityintheeastofShandongprovince.

IwasbornthereandIhavelivedthereforthefirsttenyearsofmylife.

Q2:Isitabigcityorasmallcity?

A:Iwouldsayit’sabigcity,butnotthatbiglikeBeijingorShanghai.

It’saquitechicandcoolcitybecauseyoucanspotarchitecturesinGerman

styleandtypicalChinesebuildingsatthesametime.It’saratherunique

experiencevisitingdifferentpartsofQingdaoasyoumayexperiencedifferent

culturesandtimes,whichyoucan’thaveinmanyothercities.

Q3:Isthereanythingyoudislikeaboutit?

A:Yes,thereis.It’sthetrafficthatbothersmelot.I’mnotsayingthat

there’smuchtraffic.I’msayingthattherearecountlessone-waystreetsin

city,inoutskirt,ineverywhere.Peoplelikemewhoarenotfamiliarwiththese

streetsbreaktrafficrules,andapparentlyarefinedseveraltimesadayjust

becauseofthoseone-waystreets.SoIreallythinkthatrelevantauthorities

shouldre-considertherules.

首先介紹家鄉(xiāng)時簡單兩三句交待出家鄉(xiāng)是哪，大概在哪個方位即可，不必把家鄉(xiāng)的特征都羅列出來。關于家鄉(xiāng)是大城市還是小城市言之成理即可，然后考生可以把城市的一大特點描述出來使回答更生動更具體，聽起來不枯燥。關于不喜歡家鄉(xiāng)的地方，考生可以隨意列舉，但重點是不能只進行簡單的羅列，比較好是選取一個點進行詳細論述，這樣既有重點也有細節(jié)，具有高分回答的潛質。

4.Sleeping

這個話題成為近兩年高頻的話題之一確實讓很多人大感驚訝。作為老話題，沉寂了一段時間之后在最近兩年登上高頻話題榜證明了出題者廣開思路、多面考察學生在除了工作學習和個人基本狀況之外的口語對話能力的意圖。應該說，有相當大一部分考生從來沒有想過關于睡覺的話題，更不用說用英文表達相關內容。所以，新英美海外考試研究中心的口語組專家提醒廣大考生，雅思口語的考察范圍十分寬泛，千萬不能僥幸只準備幾個經典老題，否則吃虧的還是自己。

Q1:Howmanyhoursdoyousleepeveryday?

A:Mostly,Isleep8hoursonaverageeveryday.Butmysleepingtimeoften

variesifI’minrevisionweekorholidays.Imean,ifIhavemuchworktodo,I

couldstayratherlateatnightandprobablysleepforonly4hours.Andon

A:Idon'tthinktheyactuallysleepalot.Likemygrandparents,they

sleepalotbecausetheydon'tconsumeasmuchenergyasworkingpeopleorkids.

Anditmayalsobecausetheirorgansworkslowerandcan’taffordtogivethe

elderpeoplealongsleep.

關于睡覺的話題，考生尤其要掌握睡覺的作用。我們其實不需要講一些專業(yè)的分析(除非你是這方面的專家)，而最直接最生活的一些內容才適合我們絕大多數考生回答。更重要的是，我們有時不知道該答些什么的時候，或者不知道如何證明自己說的對或不對的時候，好用的方法就是舉例子。用身邊的人作為例子能貼切地證明并描繪出你想表達的東西。

5.Names

關于姓名的話題一直是很多考生的絆腳石。不是因為題目太難，而是很多考生在考官最初見到你問你姓名時錯誤地把有關名字的問題一并答了出來。也就是說，明明考官只是在剛見到你時問你叫什么，很多考生直接不假思索的回答“我的名字是xxx，我爸給起的名，他希望我成為一個…”，這顯然是在直截了當的告訴考官“我把Part

1準備得太過頭了!”所以考生切不可多答，而是當考官問起來相關的問題再去回答，不要多此一舉。我們還是拿三個問題來分析，看看如何回答。

Q1:Whogaveyouyourname?

A:MynamewasgivenbymygrandpaandIheardthathelookedupeachword

inadictionaryinordertogivemeagoodname.

Q2:Doesyournamehaveanyparticularmeaning?

A:Yes.Mydadtoldmethathegavemethisnametowantmetolivehappily

anddon'tbebotheredbydisgustingthings.

A:Well,actuallymynamehasnothingspecial.Mydadgavemethisname

simplybecausehethoughtitwaseasytopronounce.

Q3:Whousuallynamesbabiesinyourcountry?

A:Itvaries.Insomefamilies,itisparentswhousuallynamebabieswhile

insomeotherfamilieslikemyfamily,itisgrandparentswhooftengivebabies

names.But,there’salsoaspecialsituationinChinathatsomefamilies,those

doingbusinessinparticular,wouldlikeafortunetellertonametheir

babies.

關于本人的名字我們每個人情況都不同，所以關于名字的意義大家可以談名字整體的意義，也可以說每個字代表的意義，當然前提是你說起來簡單，如果意義太難，我們可以掂量掂量，在不影響流暢度的前提下考生可以盡量說詳細一些。我們再來說一下第三個題，詢問中國的起名習慣。這個題屬于詢問整個國家的情況，但現實中每個問題都有不同的情況，所以這類問題我們可以分情況討論，而不是一竿子打死，顯得答題太絕對，思維太片面。

總之，第一部分的話題比較固定，高頻話題里的高頻問題也比較固定，所以我們可以摸清規(guī)律，掌握答題技巧，定能夠順暢通過第一部分。

Part2高頻話題

1.收到建議的時刻

首先，第一個我們將要分析的話題是近兩年一直在考的話題—建議。話題卡如下：

Describeasituationwhenyoureceivedsomeusefuladvice.

Youshouldsay:

Whatthesituationwas

Whogaveyoutheadvice

Whattheadvicewas

Andexplainhowthisadvicewasusefultoyou

本題考生們可以結合自身的經驗，比如參加比賽、考試、面試等場合收到的建議，也可以講講哪一次你的長輩給了你關于如何處理人際關系等經驗，總之考生們要有一個情境，讓自己可以有余地發(fā)揮，把故事敘述完整。我們來看一個回答范例。

IrememberclearlythatbeforethetimewhenIhadmyfirstinterviewinmy

2.最近讀的書

關于書的話題幾乎每年必考，只不過對于內容的要求是經常變的，關于書籍曾經考過有趣的書、不喜歡的書、喜歡讀的書或雜志等，但是最近的話題看起來十分“仁慈”，因為最近讀的書可以是有趣的書，也可以是喜歡或不喜歡的書，總之給考生自由發(fā)揮的空間很大，所以考生完全可以有能力把這個題講好。

話題卡如下：

Describeabookyouhavereadrecently.

Youshouldsay:

Whormendedit

Whatthebookwasabout

Andexplainwhatyoulearnedfromit.

Sampleanswer:

3.大廚

關于做飯的話題也算是口語考試的老題了，但是近年來考的最多的是讓考生描述一個擅長做飯的人，而不僅僅是做飯本身，所以考生要注意重點的轉移。我們先來看看話題卡：

Describeapersonyouknowwhoisgoodatcooking.

Youshouldsay:

Whothepersonis

Whatyourrelationshipiswiththisperson

Whatkindoffoodheorshecooks

Andexplainwhyyouthinkthispersonisgoodatcooking.

這個題我們要把人物和做飯連在一起，既要描述為什么你認為他擅長做飯又要描述所做的食物的類型等，所以考察考生們多方面的詞匯量。我們來看范文：

MyfriendWangYuisthepersonwhoismostgoodatcookingIhaveseen

amongmyfriends.Ithinkhehasageneincooking.Imean,hisfartherisone

ofthemostwell-knownmasterchefsofShandongCuisine,andhelearnedcooking,

respect.

通過簡單地分析上面三個題，相信考生們對于高頻考題有了一定的了解，其實不管是不是高頻題，考生始終要把握一個原則，就是合并歸類，把能通用的素材放到不同的話題里，既提高了效率又能給自己減負，可謂一舉兩得。
