解读2014年雅思口语考试趋势

2014年雅思口语考试趋势雅思口语考试的内容变化经常变化，今年呈现出七个雅思口语趋势，为此小编特进行收集整理，分享给大家，希望对大家有所帮助。

雅思口语趋势一、内容商业化雅思考试的口语题库一向比较稳定，考试每年增加几个新的topic，每个topic又包括相应的几道新题，但数量有限，题型和原本的保持一致，因此对新试题的准备工作并不难。

但也许是受到全球化商业的影响，或是因为各大商务类考试的红火局面，口试的内容在近年来朝向商业化领域拓展，不少考题和该方面内容相关，甚至在出现过关于外企面试的一些题目，考生要做好准备。

在第一和第三部分中，关于work and career方面曾经考过的几道真题有，如：Do you think salary is only thing that counts in a job?What do you think of leaflets?How can we increase the sales profits of a company?Could you tell me the difference between big and small shops in their service?How to provide a good service?Is it important for a shopping center to have good service?在第二部分里则大玩商务基础知识，如：Describe a company that your relative or friend owns.Describe how to run a business (You should say what you must do and where you run the business)对于商业类问题，考生应该积累适量的基本知识，毕竟在这个商业发达的年代，没有这类知识是吃不开的，建议考生在考前可以参考外企的一些简单面试材料，并试着用英文回答，或者参加一些培训机构的课程，从中获得可供参考的答题内容。

However, autumn is considered the best season as the weather is mild and there are beautiful views of the changing leaves. As for interesting places to visit, the Great Wall is a must-see attraction. There are also many traditional markets, such as the Panjiayuan Antique Market and the Silk Street Market where you can bargain for souvenirs and local products.2.

I listen to music every day, either through my phone or while driving. Music can really change my mood and make me feel happy or sad depending on what I’m listening to. Sometimes I listen to music to help me focus on tasks, and other times I listen to it to help me relax and unwind.3. Internet 网络话题How often do you use the internet, what do you usually do online, and what kind of internet services do you use?For example:I use the internet every day, mostly for work and entertainment. I usually check my emails and browse the news first thing in the morning. During work hours, I use the internet to research and communicate with colleagues. In my free time, I use it to watch movies and TV shows, shop online and play games.

Describe a memorable trip you have taken.Include information about why you chose to go on the trip, what activities you did, and what made it memorable.For example:Last year, I went on a trip to Japan with my friends.

We can easily connect with people from all over the world, and access all kinds of information on the internet. However, technology also has negative effects, such as addiction and the loss of face-to-face communication skills. I think we rely too much on technology these days, and it’s important to find a balance between its benefits and its pitfalls.3. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of studying abroad. Include information about personal growth, cultural experiences, and potential career benefits/challenges.For example:Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience, with many benefits and drawbacks.

Students may encounter language barriers and cultural differences that make it difficult to adjust to a new environment. It can also be expensive and lonely if they are far from home.

This year, my grandpa is expecting his eighty-first birthday, and despite a few wrinkles and grey hair, he looks remarkably/very young at his age. He used to be a history professor, teaching in university, now he has retired. As far as I can remember, when I was a child, I used to spend most of my time with him, because both of my parents were very busy. My grandpa used to tell me lots of interesting stories, and he always takes very good care of me.I love spending time with my grandpa because of several reasonsFirst of all, my grandfather is a very knowledgeable person. He lived in many different places, and he knows all the interesting things about these cities, for example, their food, and their language and so on. Besides, I love listening to his stories. He told me lots of interesting stories that happened in history.

A comic actorWell, when it comes to a comic actor, I would like to talk about the great comedian Charlie Chaplin. I love his silent films very much. He was born in late 19th century, and became very famous in the 1920s. He created and stared in many well-known classic films, for example , , , and . In his comedies, he usually wears his signature big hat, black suit, oversized trousers, and a pair of big shoes. At that time, his unique costume and acting style could easily attract audiences, and gave them very special visual experiences.I’ve seen some clips from his films, and I believe there are several factors to his successFirst of all, he is a very talented comedian. He harvested his fame during the silent film era, and it is very difficult to depict the plot without sound. He was also a director and created the music in his films.Besides, Chaplin is a very hard working person. Despite the tragedies in his life, such as the divorce of his parents, and the mental illness of his mother, he became independent at a very early age, and made great achievements on the big screen.In addition, I love his acting style very much. He used a hilarious/funny atmosphere to reflect real ordinary people’s lives.That’s why Chaplin is one of my favorite comedians, a nd he is definitely one of the most successful and well-known actors in the history of motion pictures. I hope in the future, there can be more great actors like him who bring laughter and joy into our world.3. Something You Forget to Do in Your Lifewhat is itwhen it happenedwhat consequences did it causeWell, I’d like to talk about a time when I forgot to deliver a message to my father, and it caused a lot of trouble for my father, and it also influenced me greatly. As far as I remember, when I was in middle school, approximately ____ years ago, one afternoon, I was playing computer games alone at home, and the car dealer called, and asked me to inform my father about a very important safety maintenance (保养) and inspection (检查) appointment. However, I was too into the game to remind my father about the appointment, and a few days later, my father had to drive to another city. Unfortunately, when he was driving, the car broke down, and couldn’t start. It was winter time, and he had to wait in the car without heat for five hours.I couldn’t blame myself more, because my careless neglect caused a lot of troubles for my father.First of all, the engine of the car broke down, and it was very dangerous on the freeway. I felt that my neglect almost put my fathe r’s life at risk.Besides, he had to stay in the cold car for five long hours, and wait for help. He caught a bad cold, and became sick for many days.In addition, he missed his important meeting, and thatcaused a lot of trouble to his work.That’s why I kept blaming myself for a long time. Although my father was not angry at me, I’m still full of regret to this day, and I’ve learned from this that I must be a responsible person.4. Childhood TV programWell, I’d like to talk about my favorite TV programme in my childhood, which is called . As far as I remember, when I was a child, at every 5 p.m., I used to sit in from of the TV and enjoy this programme. It is a very popular children’s programme which integrates (整合) different sections/modules. Each section contains different materials such as cartoon, storytelling, and fun learning.The first section plays some famous cartoons. In this programme, I first knew Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, and some other domestic cartoon characters. I guess it is the favorite section for most kids.In the second section, children can learn many useful things about science and life. The host of the programme often does some simple physics and chemistry experiments, and these experiments are very interesting to me.Section thre e is storytelling. The female host ‘Moon Sister’tells some Green stories, and talks about the meanings and lessons behind those stories.Before the programme ends, there is an interactive session, when little audience can play games with the hosts.This pr ogramme is my favorite children’s programme not only because of the interesting contents, but also the funny and friendly hosts.I hope in the future, this programme can be more and more successful, and give more children a happy childhood.5. A product that is made in your countryWell, I’d like to talk about the famous Chinese 普洱tea, which is commonly produced in 云南province, because the climate and weather in 云南is very suitable for the growing of tea tree. According to western tradition, 普洱is a kind of black tea, but in China ‘black tea’ is actually called ‘red tea’. The name 普洱comes from a trading market where this type of tea was traded. The production of 普洱is very complex and is very time consuming. After the tea leaves are picked from tea trees, they are dried and pressed. Then the production process involves fermentation (发酵), as well as aging.普洱tea is considered as one of the most popular type of tea in China because of several reasonsFirst of all, the taste of it is unique. The flavor of high quality 普洱is very rich and long-lasting. When the tea is prepared, the wonderful fragrance/aroma/smell can fill the entire room.Besides, it is very beneficial for our health. Researches has shown that if people drink 普洱every day, they have a lower risk for heart disease. It also helps people to lose weight.In addition, there is a long tradition for Chinese to consume 普洱. Tea culture is a very important part in Chinese history, and today, it still plays a very important role in many Chinese people’s lives.That’s why I would like to talk about 普洱tea. However, the price of high-quality 普洱is not affordable to many people. So I hope the price can become lower, and more people can enjoy it.6.

雅思2014.1-4月新题解析

饭店Describe a restaurant that you like to goYou should say:What the restaurant it isWhen you go there（or, how often you go there）What kind of food they serve thereWho you usually go there withAnd explain why you like to eat at this place解析：描述一个饭店，典型的地点题，在我们的例题讲解中，曾将这个话题与café进行对比，它们的差异基本也就是限于所提供的食物不一样，这边我们只需将café所提供的食物由咖啡跟甜点换成菜肴即可，那么菜肴我们又可以结合所说过的食物话题，总之你准备过café跟food这两个话题，这个题目对你来说不过就是a snap了。

Sample answer：OK, speaking of a crowded place I have ever been to, I guess I'd like to talk about my favorite restaurant in my hometown. You know, it is not a star restaurant which serves very expensive and luxurious food, instead, it is pretty cozy, and only offers home-made cuisine. However I am really into this small cozy restaurant, probably because every time I have dinner there, the tasty food always makes me feel like I was having my mother's cooking. Although I work in another city now, once I come back home, I suppose I'd like to go to that restaurant to have the daily special dishes with my family or friends for reunions.Talking about what kind of food the restaurant serves, I'd like to add here is that the menu of this restaurant is also a special feature. You know, the owner of the restaurant buys the fresh ingredients like green vegetables and meat every morning, and then she will write the menu on a board according to the ingredients she has every day. I suppose that would be one of the extremely important reasons why the small restaurant enjoys such a superb reputation and a large number of followings. Besides, the dim sum made by the great cook is also highly recommended, so you can have some when you are waiting for your dishes. The last point, the clean table cloths and the neatly-set tables make the customers feel comfortable and cheerful. And the owners are quite pleasant and helpful. You can always count on them.生动物，大家能想到的应该还是有一些的，比如大熊猫、丹顶鹤、羚羊等等，最为人熟知的肯定就是大熊猫了，为了避免千篇一律都说大熊猫太单调了，大家可以在描述中加入自身的经历，比如如何来了解到大熊猫，参观动物园里的大熊猫或者大熊猫栖息地等事件，这样描述起来也更加真实。

His wife was Chinese architect and poet Lin Huiyin.Liang was quite important in Chinese traditional architecture. As an architectural history scientist, Liang went out with his wife to search for the surviving buildings in order to discover the “grammar” of Chinese architecture. He emphasize the construction philosophy which is hidden in the timber-frame of traditional buildings. To spread and share his understandings and appreciation of Chinese architecture, and most importantly, to help save its diminishing building technologies, Liang published his first book, Qing Structural Regulations in 1934.（unlike some inflexible scholars who engaged in their study days and nights in their offices，Liang determined to go out to search for the surviving buildings in order to discover the “grammar” of Chinese architecture）As an architectural educationalist, Liang founded two design programs, architecture and up, and advocated practice skills in design education.

Actually Chinese people can easily get some features from its name, because it means a dining-room in tang dynasty. The designer of this hotel was a woman architect, Zhangjinqiu, who was the last student of Chinese architectural education father, Liangsicheng. Zhangjinqiu believed that architecture should be seen in the context of its great physical environment. So she practice her thought in her design work, such as tangcheng restaurant.If you stand outside, it looks like a palace, with its yellow walls and red roof, and when you go inside, you may feel like standing in that period, I mean, tang dynasty. On the wall, there are the landscape paintings and poems written with Chinese calligraphy. What’s more, the staffs in this hotel are dressed in the traditional tang suit. They even greet you with the tang style.

In the suburb of our city, there are a group of springs located together. They all flow into one lower pool. People name it Black Tiger Spring. It has become a symbol for my city and attracted crowds of local citizens and tourists.Summer is the best time to visit the spring, especially on a hot day, because spring water makes the air cool down, plus there are trees providing shelters. All these have contributed to the popularity of this place. People living nearby like to come to fetch取spring water. It’s also a paradise for fishing lovers. Old men could spend a whole morning there fishing. Calligraphy lovers practice writing characters on the ground with a huge brush pen and spring water as ink.A few decades ago, there were even more springs flowing. For one time, the rapid developing industries consumed a lot of water. Some springs therefore become dry. However, in recent years, the local government has been working on reconstructing the city’s underground water system to make dried springs flow again. They did a good job.

Jingdezhen's porcelain has been famous not only in China but in time it became known internationally for being "as thin as paper, as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, and as sound as a bell". People all over the world are crazing about Jingdezhen’s porcelain, especially the blue and white porcelain, for two main reasons.Firstly, the exquisite shape makes the porcelain looking as an elegant girl from ancient east, since its circular measure and the size of frame has been deliberated by generations of Chinese artists.

At that time, I insisting on taking yoga class three times a week, because I think yoga assists me to burn away a lot of the extra energy. So naturally, it can help everybody lose weight and achieve the ideal figure.Secondly, yoga sets me free from daily trivial things. Concentrating in yoga, I try my best to stretch my limbs to complete every posture perfectly, so that, for a short time, I forget all my problems at work or at school.Last but not least, and the most important, yoga is more than just an exercise, which I learnt much discipline from it.

The most recent change in my life is that I moved out of the school residence three months ago. I mean, I wouldn’t have to share a room with others any more. Renting a furnished room is quite expensive for a student like me. But I really needed a quiet place to prepare for the IELTS exam within the limited time. Luckily, my families were very supportive and told me not to worry about the money.As for how this change affected my life, well, first of all, I shared the washing machine with other tenants, so I didn’t have to do the laundry like I did in the dormitory. Besides, I ate well. I mean, in this apartment, I was free to use the kitchen. Sometimes, I cooked some home dishes according to my own taste. Since I am studying in the northern part of China, the cuisine is a little bit too spicy for a southerner like me. Most importantly, each day, my time used for studying was almost doubled, because I didn’t need to take effort to find and occupy a seat in the library and return to the dorm before 10 o’clock. I could just study in my private room until midnight.All in all, I found living outside the school benefited me a lot. My life became a lot more convenient. Also, I believe these three months are the most productive period in my school days.Describe an occasion when you moved into a new house or school. Describe a competition (talent show etc.) you would like to take part in。

2014.4雅思口语part1部分预测题参考

(Q's about your personal background)
• Do you live in a house or a flat? I live in an apartment with my parents. Even though it is really an old one, I still really like it because I have lived in this apartment so long that it contains many precious memories of mine.
• Do you think people who major in your field can find a job easily when they graduate?
From my personal experiences, it's not simply a yes or no question. Since to get a job is not only depends on the major you studied at school, but includes more comprehensive factors, such as if the school you graduated enjoying a good reputation, how well you performed at school, if you had excellent interpersonal skills, and all these are just the general criteria for someone who's just entry into society. And I am sure hard work will pay off.

2014年雅思考试趋势预测

2014年雅思考试趋势预测随着雅思考试被越来越多的国家和大学认可，雅思报考人数呈现了大幅度上升的趋势，考试难度也在逐年增加。

那么，2014年雅思考试将呈现怎样的走势和特点？“烤鸭”们可以从哪些角度入手进行备考呢？我们一起来关注一下。

听力配对题依旧明年考试的主流2013年度的考试“两旧两新”依然是主打，基本保持稳定，甚至出现了四个section全是旧题的情况，这也意味着“机经”在备战雅思听力时还是占据非常重要的地位。

就题型而言，今年配对题上榜率居高不下，这也就意味着雅思听力的难度稳中有升。

配对题一般搭配填空题或者单选题，难度更高的是配对题搭配多选题。

由此可以看出2014年配对题依然会是主流题型，备战的“烤鸭们”要认真对待此类题目。

备考技巧：地图题将记住顺序原则第一，对于配对题，由于这类题对学生的反应能力要求很高，所以，建议大家要么在选项后面标上题号，要么选了一个选项，就把那个选项划掉。

这样做的目的是避免在做题中重复看选项，从而浪费了宝贵的时间；第二，有关地图题，请大家记住这个题型有顺序原则，不会乱序。

根据题目中的已知信息，按题号顺序去填听到的新的信息就可以了。

阅读重配对、轻判断的出题思路将延续雅思阅读的难度一部分来自题型的设置。

雅思阅读一共有十种题型，针对不同题目了解其核心的解题技巧非常重要。

在2013年的雅思阅读考试当中，配对题、是非无判断题、选择题和摘要归纳题是重点的考察对象，在2014年的考试中这些题型仍将占据主要地位。

2013年雅思阅读考试的规律在“重配对、轻判断”的出题思路上清晰可见。

备考技巧：对真题进行分类解析基本功的训练是雅思考生必须重视的环节之一。

雅思阅读文章都选材于国外的一些报刊，例如TheEconomist、New Scientist、NationalGeographic等，考生平时可多看一些这类报刊的文章。

此外，市面上有些雅思阅读类书籍选取了与常考的雅思选文题材相仿的文章，也可以作为参考，但因为题目不是官方出的，故不要去做后面的题目，仅把文章作为阅读材料便可。

雅思口语考试四月预测

2013年4月雅思口语详细考试预测总体而言，4月的雅思口语考试相较于前三月而言将会是相对稳定的。

该出现的题都已经出现。

建议考生们在准备四月考试时需做两件事儿：1.需要把前三个月的出现的高频题在考前准备妥当，并练习。
