雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导

雅思口语话题的分类已经越来越广泛了，从家长里短，问到了平时课余活动的意义，以及学生对一些社会问题的看法和价值观。这些都是外国考官非常关注的留学生的热点话题。我们在准备雅思口语考试的时候，应该学会立体地分析一个问题。当考官抛出一个问题的时候，尤其是开放型的问题，以advantages/differences为标志性词语的问题时，我们要学会分析这样的问题，把不同的方面列举出来。比如，把人分成不同的职业和性格，把地点分成不同的历史背景和特点，把事件分成不同的目的等等，这样的回答既丰富，又显得非常有条理。

此外，当我们回答问题的时候，大量例子的使用会帮助我们达到很好的效果。如果在第三部分，回答问题时比较困难，或根本不明白考官的问题时，例子就帮我们解决了很多的困难。举自己的例子，名人或著名学校的例子，不著名但有说服力的学校或地区的事件都是可以的。
