經(jīng)過27次的雅思考試，2014年也已經(jīng)過去一大半了，也是時候做一個中期總結，回顧過去，展望未來，讓考生在下半年的備考中能有所進步，下面和出國留學網(wǎng)雅思小編一起來看看這篇文章《2014上半年雅思口語考試總結》，口語經(jīng)歷了2 次非常明顯的話題變化，這兩次的變題分別出現(xiàn)在1 月和5 月，希望對你的雅思考試有所幫助。
2014 年1 月雅思口語迎來第一次題目更新，第一部分和第二部分分別有題目更換，如下圖：
Part 1 考題回顧 (紅色為1 月新題)
從題目變化不難看出雅思口語第一部分常考的題型還是以生活英語為基準，這和劍橋出題委員會的意圖基本相符。題目從學生的學習生活兩方面進行橫向擴展，從語言學習到學校課業(yè)再到交通工具的運用，從使用網(wǎng)絡到日常購物無一不是學生日常生活必備環(huán)節(jié)，測試考生日常生活用語類話題的表達。

紅色的為一月份的新題，這次的新題變更包括一些全新的題和一些往年出現(xiàn)過的翻新題。從這些題目的變化趨勢可以看出， 題目的難度是逐漸增加的，具體體現(xiàn)在考題中更加突出對具體細節(jié)的描述。人物題基本保持名人，老人，朋友，沒有太大的變化。地點題對于景點的表述分別包括國外景點，國內景點，室內地點，幾個不同的景點涵蓋了一些基本的時態(tài)要求。比如你去過的景點，你喜歡的餐廳，你去過的房子(一般過去)，而考生在第二部分對于一般過去式的表述是最容易失分的，因為中國的考生對于一些基本時態(tài)的運用熟練度較低，雖然知道一些基本用法，但是在口語描述中經(jīng)常忘記時態(tài)的轉換，比如描述過程中會出現(xiàn)：when I am a child; I go to Beijing last year. 等語法錯誤，簡單語法出錯頻率較高的考生在準備話題以及練習過程中可以先放慢語速，保證準確度，再反復練習，也可以通過錄音記錄自己的錯誤并對其改正。物品題除了讓考生描述自己喜歡的物品類型的題目，還增加了描述不喜歡物品的題目，比如不喜歡的電影，不喜歡的課程等等。這些描述負面情感和負面情緒的難度顯然要比描述喜好高一些。本次變題中，事件題變更較大。首先在數(shù)量上比以往增多，題目中大部分要求使用過去時態(tài)，其次話題內容范圍也比以往寬泛。
第二輪換題出現(xiàn)在五月
五月?lián)Q題對第一部分來說沒有太大的影響，基本保持了1-4 月題庫的大多數(shù)題，輪換的新題其實也是一些翻新題，只有一道MAPS 題是全新的題。就題目難度而言，第一部分相對比較穩(wěn)定，沒有出現(xiàn)難度系數(shù)很高的題。

新題題型有如下特點：
1. 人物題全面化： 人物題包括描述國外名人，國內名人，老年人，朋友，有智慧的人。人物類型范圍比較規(guī)范全面。
2. 地點題室外化： 地點題主要以描述室外環(huán)境為主，比如：國外景點，國內景點，公園等等。地點題加入了一道相對嶄新且難度稍大的題——描述小時候待過的學校。
3. 物品題無形化： 物品題的題目更新是最多的，而新題中部分題目要求考生描述相對無形的物品，如：法律，有用建議，別人向你咨詢的課程等等。
4. 事件題具體化：事件題的題目變得 ，比如描述青少年時期的積極經(jīng)歷，描述有問題的設備等等。
這次的換題在題目難度也較大，下面以6、7兩個月份的高頻題為例分析新題難度。
六月雅思口語 p2 高頻題
1. Describe an old object in your family.
2. Describe a magazine you enjoy reading.
3. Describe a good low in your country.
4. Describe your first cell phone.
5. Describe a time you have to share something with others.
6. Describe a neighbor you helped.
7. Describe a time when you were very busy.
8. Describe an important event that changed your life.
9. Describe an important historical building.
10. Describe a famous person from other country you want to meet.
這10 道題分別為 1--4 物品題，5—8 事件題，9 為地點題，10 為人物題。五十多道題目中物品題考的相對較多，這也符合物品題占比重最大的特點，這幾道高頻物品題沒有要求太復雜的語法范圍，即考生在描述過程中可以大量使用一般現(xiàn)在時描述該物品的一些基本特征。比如，描述喜歡的雜志—考生們完全可以用一般現(xiàn)在事描述該雜志的一些基本信息，在介紹過程中最好有觀點有實例，講到喜歡該雜志的理由考生們可以加入相對復雜的語法現(xiàn)象，但是過程中注意語法的準確性，不用太注重多樣性。頻繁的轉換時態(tài)容易出錯且易造成描述缺乏邏輯性和嚴謹性?？忌鷤円貏e注意的是事件題。事件題在題庫中占有的比例遠遠少于物品題，但是考的頻率卻很高，這也基本符合出題委員會的考查目的：看考生是否能對過去的事件進行準確具體的描述。
我們再來看一下7 月份的雅思口語高頻題，7 月份的考試中沒有任何新題出現(xiàn)，Part 1 中題目分配的比例較為均衡，沒有明顯偏重。Part 2 依然保持了6 月的題目頻率，事件題是重點考察的題型。以下是7 月考試的高頻題，我們可以看到事件題依然占據(jù)了很大的比列，事件題的難度系數(shù)偏高，題目要求考生描述過去某段時間發(fā)生的一些事，所以在語法上主要采用的時態(tài)是一般過去式。當然根據(jù)考試復述內容的需要，還會出現(xiàn)現(xiàn)在完成，過去完成等讓考生容易混淆且犯錯的時態(tài)?？忌趥淇紩r務必注意先保證主要時態(tài)(一般過去)變化正確，可以在練習時將“一般過去”寫在紙上時刻提醒自己。除了時態(tài)陷阱，事件題還考查考生對事情發(fā)展過程的描述能力，描述時要注意連接詞的用法，還需要注意描述過程中重點描述細節(jié)信息。
其他類型的題(人物，地點，物品)分配還是比較均衡的。當然，物品題中無形的物品題出現(xiàn)的頻率比有形的物品題出現(xiàn)頻率高出很多。
事件題
1.Describe a time when you were very busy.
2. Describe a neighbor you helped.
3. Describe an important event that changed your life.
5.Describe a piece of broken equipment (washer,TV, ect).
6. Describe a culture you learned from other places.
物品題
1. Describe a piece of advice someone ever gave you.
2. Describe something you saved money for.
3.Describe a language except English that you want to learn.
9. Describe your first mobile phone.
10. Describe a magazine you enjoy reading.
11. Describe a good low in your country.
12. Describe an advertisement that you think is successful.
地點題
13.Describe a school where you studied in your childhood.
人物題
14.Describe a famous person in a country (not your own).
考生在備考的時候除了多積累日常的用語還要多注意對過去事物描述時應具備的時態(tài)。如此才能踏踏實實去沖擊理想分數(shù)。(本文節(jié)選自《新東方2014雅思年度中期報告》)
本次的題庫變化在第二部分得到了充分體現(xiàn)，不僅題目數(shù)量增加，而且難度也有所增加。
