本书通过特邀雅思考官对雅思口语进行权威细致的分析，从评分标准人手，阐述中国学生在雅思口语方面的弱点和问题，同时给出考生在考试中的口语实例和评判范例。国内目前的雅思口语辅导教材都是中国人的范文，导致考生在考试中的分数偏低，而且学生总体的口语能力也偏差，本书对于即将参加雅思考试和已经参加过雅思考试但分数偏低的学生都很有帮助。特别是对于那些想要申请海外名校的学生来说尤其如此。

【前言】
雅思考试近几年来发生比较大的变化。首先是话题的类型变多了，另外话题本身的难度也有所增加。这种变化在雅思口语和写作两个科目中体现得尤为突出。为了应对雅思考试的这种变化，本书特别作了修订，邀请前雅思考官创作了针对新话题新考题的Sample Answers。这些新的参考答案在内容上和语言上尽可能符合西方人的思维方式，让中国考生在学习这些参考答案之后了解考官所偏好的高分样式，从而获得高分。
中国考生的传统学习方式是背诵套句或者是模版，但是这种学习方式却不适合雅思口语和写作的备考。对于雅思考试来说，学生的备考方式是学习地道的词组搭配以及学习英美人士的思维方式。所以本书的改版去除了一些模版化的套句和模版，程度上突出雅思口语和写作的思维方式。
各位同学在学习本书时，尽量从词组和逻辑思维两个层面去备考。另外，就是要从扣题角度出发，看考官如何从扣题的方面来展开文章。论证方式也需要掌握。

第二章 IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topics and Sample Answers
雅思口语Part 1分类话题真题和范文
节 Study/Work 学习／工作
Do you work or are you a student?
I'm currently a student at a High School. I’m studying A Level in order to go to a university in Britain. At my school we really focus on the science subjects and English, since most students will apply to a foreign University. I would love to go to Leeds University – I have an offer for that university right now but of course I need to get a good IELTS score.
What are the most popular subjects in China?
In my opinion business is probably the first choice for most students. Nearly everyone wants to be rich so they think that majoring in business would help them achieve this goal. I guess the second most prevalent subject would be computing. You know many students like to play computer games so there is no doubt that people are into that subject.
第二节Home/ Accommodation家／住房
What kind of housing/accommodation do you live in?
For the past 20 years I have lived in a house with my family. And I think if I can move out and start making a living on my own, I would try my best to afford a private house, since sharing a room or a flat with strangers sounds so troublesome to me.
Do you live in a house or a flat?
I live with my parents in our private house. Although during the time I studied abroad I already experienced living in a flat, but it ended up not so good as home sweet home. I think I’m okay with my house.
Who do you live with?
I live with my family. There are 5 of us and we all have our own room, which is way more comfortable as the older we grow, the more private we need for ourselves. I think our house is big enough for us yet still a warm and cozy place that I call home.
How long have you lived there?
Although during my childhood my family had to move a lot, I’ve lived in this most recent house for almost 10 years. Compare to the old houses, I think this house has been the best so far.
Do you plan to live there for a long time?
The answer would be yes for my parents, since moving in and out is too time-consuming. Cleaning and arranging everything all over again would be like torture to them. But, as I’m thinking of moving out, hopefully soon I’ll be able to afford living in a flat or an apartment.
What’s the difference between where you are living now and where you have lived in the past?
As I’ve already mentioned, my family moved several times when I was younger. And the most current house where we’ve been living for about 10 years is the best house so far. All of us have separate rooms for our needs of privacy yet a big dining room where we can spend the whole evenings together watching TV or having dinner.
Can you describe the place where you live?
Briefly, my humble 4-floor house locates in a small and quite street, so coming home to me is like all the craziness happened outside is left behind. Just besides my house stands a big old tree. I have my own room with walls painted violet, which was exactly my favorite color. The air outside is fresh. I usually open the window to let the wind and sunshine in, which will help cooling down my room without air conditioner. Since I spend most of my time staying at home, my room means the whole world for me. It’s like a friend who is always there to share ups and downs with me day and night. So yeah, I would always miss my house, my room whenever I’m away.
Which room does your family spend most of the time in?
It’s the dining room where we spend most time together. We are a traditional family that while having dinner, we watch the news and talk about our days. Endless stories have been told so we can help each other through hard times. Also we try to keep the family dinner as something we cannot go a day without, since for us it’s the family bonding that lies behind.
What do you usually do in your house/flat/room?
Well definitely I’ll spend some me-time there. I study and I chill with my hobbies such as reading, drawing and dancing all by myself. Sometimes I also invite one or two friends to spend time with. We’ll watch some movies together and tell each other endless stories.
Are the transport facilities to your home very good?
As I’ve already mentioned, my house locates in a quite neighborhood. After taking the bus I still need to walk for about 5 minutes more to get home. And I also come home quite late at around 7 pm so the traffic is not too crazy.
第三节 Singing 唱歌
Do you like singing?
I absolutely love singing. Although I just figured out my singing ability like 3 or 4 years ago and of course it’s not perfect, but singing to me is just to enjoy music, you know, often when I’m into a song, I can’t help myself singing it day and night.
When do you like to sing?
I sing whenever I feel like to, you know, when I’m bored or when I’m happy. And since I’m not that type of a so-called performer, most of the time I sing for myself.
How much time do you spend in singing everyday?
Well as I already mentioned singing to me is all about enjoying myself, so unless that song is so amazing, or my voice is so surprisingly incredible on that day that I can keep singing for hours, otherwise I definitely can go a day without any singing.
What kinds of music do you like to sing?
I must say it depends on my mood. If I’m so down, singing some songs which bring back some past memories could make me feel somehow released, and on the days when I’m so motivated, so energetic, I would sing the songs that are full of hope and sunshine and dreams. Yeah, so you can tell that I don’t stick with a certain kind of music.
Is it difficult to sing well?
Indeed. Unless you have a beautiful voice as a Gift from God, or you at least have gained yourself some basic knowledge about notes, vocal ranges and beat, etc., then it’s easier for you to go further in your singing career, otherwise yes, singing well would be a huge challenge.
Do you want to be a singer?
Well, from what I’ve known, being a singer is not easy at all. It’s not just about performing, but it’s also involved interaction with fans and other colleagues. Based on what I’ve known about showbiz, and even the music industry in general, I think that is not a place for me.
