2016年3月19日雅思考试口语考情分析

这个话题在之前15年9到12月的考题当中也有出现，而且总体来说，这个话题的难度不是很高，大家可以结合leisure time或者relaxation之类的话题进行准备，另外，考生需要知道中国具体有哪些公共假期，以及它们相应的英文名称。

再给出这个话题相关问题的回答范例

Q: Do people in your country celebrate foreign festivals?

A: Yes, I think so. Many people in China especially young people celebrate some foreign festivals. I think the most popular ones are Christmas and Valentine’s Day. You know, on these festivals, people will give presents to each other, especially young couples. Chocolate and flowers are gifts that you can often see.

 

Q: Do you think public holidays are important?

A: Yes, of course. Most people are busy with their work on weekdays. They do not have much time to relieve themselves. You know, some people need to work even on weekends. So I think public holidays can provide people with time to do whatever they want to. Maybe they can spend some time with friends or family members. Or sometimes, they go on some short travels.

 

1.这个话题虽然是新话题，但是难度不算很高，因为可以和很多相关话题合并，因为艰难的决定这个题目本身就是一个比较宽泛的概念。因为烤鸭们绝大部分都是有出国打算的，所以我们也可以按照实际情况，来说自己出国这件事情，用这个来当作这道题的素材。

 

2.这个话题的结构也会相对简单一点，可以大致分为两个部分，第一个部分可以去介绍这个决定的相关情况，比如说是什么样的决定，经历的怎样的过程，当然也包括最后决定所带来的结果。第二个部分自然就应该是去阐述为什么做这个决定很困难，记住，不仅要说出原因，还要给出相应的解释，否则就会显得很苍白，没有说服力。

 

3.相关词汇的补充

transformation, transform, have an influential effect on, inspire a change, a fresh start, go through big changes, rapid increase 

remain about the same over the last few years

prices of … are failing rapidly 

education/job opportunity, unemployment rate, medical care, welfare system, insurance, housing problem, overpopulation, crime rate, inflation/deflation, financial crisis, recession, mortgage, subprime 

living standard, quality of life, environment, green

 

4.下面给出一篇范文示例

You know, we have to make decisions every day no matter big ones or small ones. So far, one of the most difficult decisions I have made is to continue my study abroad. To be honest, in the first two years in university, I have not thought much of the so-called future. At that time, in my idea, it was something that was really distant from me. I was just busy with my studies and also busy enjoying the freedom. But when I became a junior student, many classmates of mine have begun job-hunting or prepared for national postgraduate qualifying examination. All of a sudden, I felt much pressure. It was at time I began to think about my future. I had many choices at that time, to find a job in China, to continue my study in Chinese universities or go abroad.

It was not an easy decision to make because every choice has its own strengths and weakness. Actually, I wanted to go abroad most since I wanted to shift to another academic environment and I have heard that people cannot learn a lot from Chinese postgraduate education. However, you know, it costs a lot to study abroad. Though my parents comforted me and told me not to worry about money. I still did not want to put too much burden on them. Besides, there would be great difference between China and foreign countries, from language to culture. I would probably experience a long time of culture shock. I was not sure whether I could overcome that or not. I have thought of these problems for a long time and talked to many people including those who have experience of studying abroad. In the end, I found that the advantages of studying abroad overweighed the disadvantages. And I decided to continue my postgraduate education in Britain. Though I cannot see the results of this decision right now, I am pretty sure I will benefit from it sometime in the future.
