综述:
雅思考试的口语部分总的来说,一直都没有什么大的变化,不论是考试形式还是考试内容。有的考生可能被问到的题目数量多一些,有的考生少一些,有的可能遇到自己准备过的题目,有的可能是没有准备过的题目,但是这些都不能归结为雅思口语考试的趋势,因为这些情况要么是因考生回答问题长短或准备充分等因素所致。北京雅思中国网学校雅思口语主讲、中国大陆地区唯一雅思总分满分得主王毅老师问您详解2012年雅思口语考试。
当然,也有人说雅思口语考试题库会不会像有些人所说的3月一小变,6月一大变呢?答案是否定的。就算是变化,也只是会在口语题库中不断增加新的题目,籍此来避免中国特有的“互助”现象—考场外蹲题—对考试公正性造成的影响。
举例说明吧:
这是今年6六月孟加拉国口语考试的题目:

看起来熟悉吗?当然,这些都是雅思中国网培训课堂上经常讲到的内容。当然,这样的例子太多了,数不胜数。也就是说雅思口语考试是一个很严谨的考试,为了考试的连续性和可信性,它的题库会极其稳定。即使稳中有变,雅思中国网老师也为广大考生想好了可能出现的种种情况,并设计了解决方案,所以考生只要沉着应对,冷静发挥,一切所谓的“未知”因素均可化解。
备考:
雅思口语分成3个部分,但是这里要提醒大家,这三个部分侧重各不相同,考生也要分别对待之。
第一部分:Introduction and Interview
这一部分耗时3-5分钟,考官会问一些simple, easy, familiar questions/topics,目的是判断考生对于熟悉简单的内容是否能够讨论自如。这一部分是6分的分水岭,也就是说如果这一部分表现不好,则考生就很难考到6分的分数了,因为6分的一个重要标准就是对于熟悉的话题表现很好。
据此,完全可以得出一个结论,口语考试第一部分对大多数考生来说最为重要。况且,这一部分问题较为固定,基本上都是个人信息(name, work/study, home/hometown)+爱好(movie, music, flower, book, pet, dance, walk)的问题,甚至很多都可以提前准备很多材料背熟。所以,雅思中国网提醒大家,应该把口语准备80%的时间和精力放在第一部分上。
第二部分:Personal Long Talk
这一部分就是著名的口语卡片部分,考生对卡片上的问题自行回答1-2分钟(一般都要答够2分钟)。卡片回答的好坏可以决定考生能否得到7分左右的分数,因为7分的一个重要标志之一就是能够talk at length.
传统上,这一部分考生花费太多时间,其实没有必要,因为如果第一部分回答不好,而第二部分讲的再好,考官会觉得第二部分有背诵嫌疑。而且,如果第一部分准备得当,其中很多材料和技巧都可以运用在第二部分(其实任何一个第二部分口语卡片就是4个第一部分问题结合在一起而已)。
第三部分:Two-way discussion
这一部分最难,因为问题都抽象,晦涩,但是考官又要借此来判断考生是否具有更高的水平(7分或以上),判断考生能否对于不熟悉话题或内容进行一定的讨论或辨析。但是由于大多数中国考生,本身就不具备7分或以上实力,所以这一部分通常表现糟糕。雅思中国网提醒大家,由于第三部分是“two-way discussion”,所以考生如果对于题目没有任何或太多思路,可以要求考官给予提示“What do you think about it?”“What’s your opinion on this topic?”,而考官一般也会积极的做出回应。
总而言之,雅思口语考试这三部分一定要根据考生自己实力和目标合理规划,同时一定要运用考试技巧,因为,即便准备充裕的材料和内容,谁也不能保证自己考试时一定能想起来,用出来,用对,还让考官认可。所以,考试毕竟是考试,技巧也很重要。
