SPEAKING PART ONE
1. Have you ever taught a child to swim?
Sample Answer:
To tell you the truth, I don’t have such kind of experience before. Because I myself even can’t swim, let alone teach others. If I swam, I still wouldn’t teach kids. Since swimming is not my field, and I don’t have any rich experi-ence to teach others. What if things suddenly get out of hand. I think I am not confident enough to deal with such kind of urgent or unexpected situa-tions.
解析:
对于这个话题，很多同学可能不太有类似的经历，所以基本我们的答案都是予以否定的。在此范文中， 有很多值得大家学习的好词好句，例如let alone （更不用说），sth is not my field (不擅长），get out of hand（失去控制）等。此外，在语法结构上还使用了对于现在的虚拟 If I swam, I still wouldn’t teach kids. 使得语法更加多样化，同时也可以在grammar这一方面给考官好印象。
2. Tell me about a friend of yours that you knew from work.
Sample Answer:
Well, I think I have a lot to say about my best friend who I knew when I worked in Starbucks as a part-time barista. He is such a nice guy who always has a sense of humor. I clearly remembered that he tended to tell jokes dur-ing working, which made our jobs really become enjoyable. On top of that, he was pretty willing to offer helping hands to me when I wanted to have shift changes. Although we don’t work together now, we still keep in touch with each other.
解析:
对于该话题的描述，如果是发生在过去的事情，则须注意时态的变化。在展开内容时需注重现在时和过去时的切换，以避免犯简单的语法错误。此外，文中还有一些比较地道的表达，例如a sense of humor，绝大部分同学在表示某人有幽默感时会脱口而出说 he/she is really humorous. 但其实那样的表达太过于正式，我们很少看到老外会那样说。
3. Have you ever had any part-time job?
Sample Answer:
Certainly. During my gap year, in order to gain some working experience, I found a part-time job in the courier services company. Actually, that was the first time for me to be a part-timer. During my job, I learned how to de-liver letters fast, how to get along well with my workmates and how to make customers feel satisfied about my service. Even the wage was not enough to cover my living cost, I still think I benefited a lot from this part-time job.
解析:
话题内容连接紧凑，逻辑性强。无论是表达目的还是让步关系，都可以解释的头头是道。此外，范文中还使用了三个how to连接的并列结构，这样使得内容的描述比较流畅，让考官听起来比较悦耳，那考生自然能给考官在第一部分留下不错的印象。

4. Tell me about your first day of high school.
Sample Answer:
Well, my first day of high school really impressed me a lot because of so many unforgettable memories. On that day, I not only met lots of class-mates, but also made friends with my new roommates. On top of that,
I also joined the Student Union of my school and ran for the leader there. It seemed everything was pretty new for me, which stirred up my interest and curiosity.
解析:
毫无疑问话题必须使用过去时，对于一些经常会犯时态错误的同学，需时时刻刻提醒自己，避免在第一部分就给考官留下不好印象。此外，文中还有一些比较常见的逻辑关系词，例如 not only...but also, on top of that 等。 一般我们在表达“此外”时倾向于使用 besides, apart from that, 但其实在口语里面有时用下on top of that 会让人耳目一新。
5. Do you often spend time with teenagers?
Sample Answer:
As a matter of fact, I hardly spend time with teenagers in my daily life. When-ever I am available, I would like to stay together with people who are much older than me. Because through connecting with such groups of people, I can learn practical life experience as well as useful socializing skills which can put me in a favorable position in my future life after I graduate from my school.
解析:
当我们的回答是否定时，我们最好在给出no之前用一些语气词，这样我们在回答问题的时候会显得比较自然。例如：as a matter of fact, in fact, actually, to tell you the truth, to be honest 等等。另外，当我们要表示有空时，我们可以说be availa-ble 而非 be free, 因为相比较而言前者会比后者更加地道，更加接近老外的表达。
6. Do you pay attention to what is popular among teenagers?
Sample Answer:
Yes, I attach great importance to the interest of teenagers, because I am a person who always follow the trend. No matter whenever there’s something new, I tend to be the first one to access. That’s also the reason why I can have something in common with young people nowadays. For example, they are all into playing mobile games. When new games are released into the market, I can always play these games well with the youth around me.
解析:
在话题描述时，我们可以通过论述和举例的方式来增加篇幅。如果光是论述或者举 例，我们可能无法很充分地对内容进行展开，所以最好就是论述和例子有效结合为最佳。此外，表示年轻人，我们除了用teenager之外，也可以用juvenile, adoles-cent, youth...等， 以避免词穷的情况出现。

7. Do you prefer sunny days or rainy days?
Sample Answer:
I have much preference for rainy days. Because I am an indoor type. When-ever it rains, as long as I have the time, I would choose to stay at home to enjoy the peaceful moments by myself. I always sit nearby the window, while listening to the sound of rain with my favorite novels and a cup of coffee. I consider that is the most pleasant time in my life.
解析:
在回答考官问题时，大家一定要注意词性的替换。无论是回答任何部分的口语话题，都要谨记这一点。 特别是对于考试时间比较紧张的烤鸭， 无法在短时间内背诵大量的词汇，要是在背诵单词时多注意单词的词性并做到灵活使用， 那可以帮助大家节省不少背单词方面的精力。例如开头，一般同学会用 prefer，但是用下 preference 无疑也是个不错的选择，会让考官眼前一亮。尽管单词很简单，但是我们无形中却被加分了。
8. Do you have much sunshine in your hometown?
Sample Answer:
Well, I was born and raised in a city with pleasant weather during most time of the year. Although four seasons are well-distinguished in my hometown, it seems that my city is shined with sunshine for the most time of the whole year. Whenever it comes to spring, local people are inclined to have picnics outside in fine days. Speaking of winter, native citizens are prone to enjoy the scenery in sunny days. Therefore, much sunshine is common for us to enjoy in my city.
解析:
注意文中的词汇替换，例如表示“倾向于”， 我们可以使用 be inclined to, be prone to, be likely to, be apt to, tend to...等，以此来避免词汇的重复使用，同时也可以向考官去突出考生的词汇量。 当表示要提到某一方面时， 我们可以用点词
when it comes to, speaking of, regarding, about, as to/for, in terms of...等一些词，这些词除了可以使用在part one之外, 当我们在part two 要对卡片话题展开其中的item内容时，也可以使用它们。
9. What are the factors for parents to take into account when name their children?
Sample Answer:
As we all know, in China, when parents pick up names, they tend to think deeply and thoroughly. Because it not only stands for the best wishes from family members, but also symbolizes the future lives of their kids. So when parents choose names for their kids, they would attach great importance to the meaning of the names to see whether these names will exert a positive or negative influence on their children. Since they all want names to bring kids good luck, they are really cautious when they pick up names.
解析:
雅思口语其中一条评分标准是accuracy, 顾我们在用词时要注意词汇的准确性。例如当我们要表示“取名字”时， 我们可以用pick up去和names 进行搭配会更加准确。此外，除了一些同义词近义词的转变和替换之外，我们在讲口语的时候也可以多使用一些逻辑关系词， 例如文中的because, but, so, since 等，这样行文表达会更加自然。
10. Are there any very common names in your country?
Sample Answer:
Definitely. It’s quite familiar for us to see some common names in China. When we have classes in schools or when people work in companies, usual names like Han, Xi, Na, are often to be heard. It seems that people in pre-sent generation are in great favor of such kind of names when they pick up names for their kids.
解析:
这类问题回答起来会有一点抽象，很多同学会觉得难以展开。即使有idea， 但是也不知从何下手。所以，我们就可以在回答时，多讲一些论述的内容，对于具体的名字举例时可以一笔带过，更多的可以用来解释原因和描述现状，这样就可以帮助我们有效回避回答不出问题的尴尬情况出现。
