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(shí)候做一個(gè)中期總結(jié)，回顧過去，展望未來(lái)，讓考生在下半年的備考中能有所進(jìn)步，下面和出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)雅思小編一起來(lái)看看這篇文章《2014上半年雅思口語(yǔ)考試總結(jié)》，口語(yǔ)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(duì)你的雅思考試有所幫助。
2014 年1 月雅思口語(yǔ)迎來(lái)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(yǔ)第一部分?？嫉念}型還是以生活英語(yǔ)為基準(zhǔn)，這和劍橋出題委員會(huì)的意圖基本相符。題目從學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)生活兩方面進(jìn)行橫向擴(kuò)展，從語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)到學(xué)校課業(yè)再到交通工具的運(yùn)用，從使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)到日常購(gòu)物無(wú)一不是學(xué)生日常生活必備環(huán)節(jié)，測(cè)試考生日常生活用語(yǔ)類話題的表達(dá)。

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(shì)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(duì)具體細(xì)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(diǎn)題對(duì)于景點(diǎn)的表述分別包括國(guó)外景點(diǎn)，國(guó)內(nèi)景點(diǎn)，室內(nèi)地點(diǎn)，幾個(gè)不同的景點(diǎn)涵蓋了一些基本的時(shí)態(tài)要求。比如你去過的景點(diǎn)，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(duì)于一般過去式的表述是最容易失分的，因?yàn)橹袊?guó)的考生對(duì)于一些基本時(shí)態(tài)的運(yùn)用熟練度較低，雖然知道一些基本用法，但是在口語(yǔ)描述中經(jīng)常忘記時(shí)態(tài)的轉(zhuǎn)換，比如描述過程中會(huì)出現(xiàn)：when I am a child; I go to Beijing last year. 等語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，簡(jiǎn)單語(yǔ)法出錯(cuò)頻率較高的考生在準(zhǔn)備話題以及練習(xí)過程中可以先放慢語(yǔ)速，保證準(zhǔn)確度，再反復(fù)練習(xí)，也可以通過錄音記錄自己的錯(cuò)誤并對(duì)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(fù)面情感和負(fù)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(shí)態(tài)，其次話題內(nèi)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(duì)第一部分來(lái)說沒有太大的影響，基本保持了1-4 月題庫(kù)的大多數(shù)題，輪換的新題其實(shí)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(duì)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(diǎn)：
1. 人物題全面化： 人物題包括描述國(guó)外名人，國(guó)內(nèi)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(diǎn)題室外化： 地點(diǎn)題主要以描述室外環(huán)境為主，比如：國(guó)外景點(diǎn)，國(guó)內(nèi)景點(diǎn)，公園等等。地點(diǎn)題加入了一道相對(duì)嶄新且難度稍大的題——描述小時(shí)候待過的學(xué)校。
3. 物品題無(wú)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(duì)無(wú)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(shí)期的積極經(jīng)歷，描述有問題的設(shè)備等等。
這次的換題在題目難度也較大，下面以6、7兩個(gè)月份的高頻題為例分析新題難度。
六月雅思口語(yǔ) 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(diǎn)題，10 為人物題。五十多道題目中物品題考的相對(duì)較多，這也符合物品題占比重最大的特點(diǎn)，這幾道高頻物品題沒有要求太復(fù)雜的語(yǔ)法范圍，即考生在描述過程中可以大量使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)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(diǎn)有實(shí)例，講到喜歡該雜志的理由考生們可以加入相對(duì)復(fù)雜的語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象，但是過程中注意語(yǔ)法的準(zhǔn)確性，不用太注重多樣性。頻繁的轉(zhuǎn)換時(shí)態(tài)容易出錯(cuò)且易造成描述缺乏邏輯性和嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)性?？忌鷤円貏e注意的是事件題。事件題在題庫(kù)中占有的比例遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)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(huì)的考查目的：看考生是否能對(duì)過去的事件進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確具體的描述。
我們?cè)賮?lái)看一下7 月份的雅思口語(yǔ)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(diǎn)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(shí)間發(fā)生的一些事，所以在語(yǔ)法上主要采用的時(shí)態(tài)是一般過去式。當(dāng)然根據(jù)考試復(fù)述內(nèi)容的需要，還會(huì)出現(xiàn)現(xiàn)在完成，過去完成等讓考生容易混淆且犯錯(cuò)的時(shí)態(tài)。考生在備考時(shí)務(wù)必注意先保證主要時(shí)態(tài)(一般過去)變化正確，可以在練習(xí)時(shí)將“一般過去”寫在紙上時(shí)刻提醒自己。除了時(shí)態(tài)陷阱，事件題還考查考生對(duì)事情發(fā)展過程的描述能力，描述時(shí)要注意連接詞的用法，還需要注意描述過程中重點(diǎn)描述細(xì)節(jié)信息。
其他類型的題(人物，地點(diǎn)，物品)分配還是比較均衡的。當(dāng)然，物品題中無(wú)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。

考生在備考的時(shí)候除了多積累日常的用語(yǔ)還要多注意對(duì)過去事物描述時(shí)應(yīng)具備的時(shí)態(tài)。如此才能踏踏實(shí)實(shí)去沖擊理想分?jǐn)?shù)。(本文節(jié)選自《新東方2014雅思年度中期報(bào)告》)
本次的題庫(kù)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。
