2008年前三個月的話題依舊延續(xù)2002---2007的話題題庫內(nèi)容，新題出現(xiàn)較少。我們對同一時間的考題搜集發(fā)現(xiàn)，當天口語考試題目的在全球各地的差異不大，在中國國內(nèi)的各大城市則出現(xiàn)了同一天各地相同話題的情況，這些話題的總量在20個左右。對于1月10日到3月13日共11次的考試題目來看，問題總數(shù)在200左右，對這些問題的分析以后，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)一下幾個特點。
1. 話題范圍廣，而且有不斷擴大的趨勢。
盡管每次考試的話題范圍有限，但是每次考試的話題范圍都會有變化，這樣一來，每個月4次考試的很多問題都會不一樣。另外，part 3的延伸問題會由考官來提問，內(nèi)容根據(jù)考生的回答帶來衍生。所以，真正考試中考生所碰到的實際提問會有很多。很多考生過分依賴歷年考試回憶來準備雅思考試，但是碰到考試問題有些調(diào)整時則反應不過來，造成很多停頓狀況，最后的考試分數(shù)會很低。在本文的最后會給大家一些考試話題精選，但是考生應實際提高自己的考試應變能力，認真聽考官的提問，根據(jù)雅思口語的實際評分標準的要求，有針對性地回答考官的問題。
2. 口語考試第二部分的問題深入
從這11次的考試Part2的實際考題來看，考題的深入化已經(jīng)是不爭的事實。具體內(nèi)容可在本文結(jié)尾的部分找到。話題涉及到環(huán)境，交通，語言，文化，手工藝品和傳媒等，這些話題盡管是老題，但是在過去出現(xiàn)的次數(shù)不頻繁，進入2008年，這些題目已逐漸成為主流問題了。所以，教師的教學中和考生的備考中要充分重視這些比較深層次的話題，并在平時不斷地加以訓練，從而能在考試中獲得高分。
3. 口語考試回答問題的完整程度對于考試的分數(shù)起到關(guān)鍵作用
完成程度是包括內(nèi)容和語言兩方面的。內(nèi)容方面的完整是指考生的對于考官的問題應從comparing, describing, explaining和speculating四個方面來闡述，從而達到邏輯的完整性，換句話說就是我們所熟悉的5W – 1H。語言的完整性是指發(fā)音和流利程度方面的，停頓和重復會大大影響最后的分數(shù)，發(fā)音最起碼要做到能讓考官聽懂，這兩項是最基本的要求。因此，即使我們知道了考試的題目，要考到高分還是有難度的。另外語法和詞匯這兩項也要做到完整，這就體現(xiàn)在句式結(jié)構(gòu)的完整和詞組搭配的完整上，這需要平時的積累。
