寫作篇
     我們先來看一下5—7月考到的9道雅思寫作大作文考題:
    08.05.10 Children can learn efficiently by watching television. Some people think that children should be encouraged to watch TV regularly both at school and at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
    08.05.22 Schools should teach children academic subjects which will be beneficial to their future careers. Therefore, other subjects such as music and sports are not important. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
    08.05.31 Some people think fittest and strongest individuals and teams could win the game in sports. Others believe better mental attitude is the key. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
    08.06.05 University students always focus on one specialist subject, but some people think universities should encourage their students to study a range of subjects in addition to their own subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
    08.06.14 Many people think cheap air travel should be encouraged because it gives ordinary people freedom to travel further. However, others think this leads to environmental problem, so air travel should be more expensive in order to discourage people from having it. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
    08.06.21 Some people say that children should obey the rules of their parents and teachers, while other people think children will not be well—prepared for their adult life if they are given too much control. Discuss in both sides and give your opinion.
    08.06.28 Mobile phones and the Internet are useful for old people. However, this population group uses them the least. In what ways could mobile phones and the Internet be useful to old people? How can old people be encouraged to use this high technology?
    08.07.05 Some people believe that theoretical subjects (e.g. Maths, Philosophy and Economics) should not be taught in universities because they should focus on practical subjects (e.g. Computer Technology, Accounting....) To what extent do you agree or disagree?
    08.07.12 Some people support the development in agriculture, such as farming industry and the scientific creation of new types of fruit and vegetables. Others oppose this development. Discuss both views and state your opinion.
    值得關(guān)注的是,在以上9道考題中,有5道(5月10日,5月22日,6月5日,6月21日,和7月5日)考題都與教育有關(guān),再次凸顯了教育類話題在雅思寫作考題中的重要性。而教育類話題又以學(xué)科選擇最為典型。例如7月5日的問theoretical subjects和practical subjects哪個更為重要,很多雅思教育類寫作考題都有類似的辯論焦點(diǎn)。建議考生可以把這道考題作為考前的練筆,可以積累一些常用的思路和詞匯為教育類話題做準(zhǔn)備。 上述考題中7月12號的考題應(yīng)該是較難的一道,此考題所討論的話題為考生比較陌生的“農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展”問題。本題從支持的角度來說比較好論證,但從反對的角度來說比較難找到理由。的駁斥方法就是針對“scientific creation of new types of fruit and vegetables.”談GM food即轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的一些問題,這又需要有一定的知識面??忌梢栽诰W(wǎng)絡(luò)上多尋找一些與GM food的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)相關(guān)的文章作為背景知識的積累,為今后類似的話題做好準(zhǔn)備。
     口語篇
     2008年6—7月的話題依舊延續(xù)2002—2007的話題題庫內(nèi)容,新題有2—3題。比如法律話題。我們對同一時間的考題搜集發(fā)現(xiàn),當(dāng)天口語考試題目的在全球各地的差異不大,在中國國內(nèi)的各大城市還是出現(xiàn)同一天各地相同話題的情況,這些話題的總量在35個左右,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)以下幾個特點(diǎn)。
     1.話題范圍廣,并且各種話題互通。
     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(shí)際提問會有很多。很多考生過分依賴歷年考試回憶來準(zhǔn)備雅思考試,但是碰到考試問題有些調(diào)整時則反應(yīng)不過來,造成很多停頓狀況,最后的考試分?jǐn)?shù)會很低??忌鷳?yīng)實(shí)際提高自己的考試應(yīng)變能力,認(rèn)真聽考官的提問,根據(jù)雅思口語的實(shí)際評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的要求,有針對性地回答考官的問題。而且考生要適應(yīng)考官對各種問題的組合,比如語言和文化,建筑和文化,文化和天氣等。
     2.口語考試第二部分的問題深入。
     從6—7月考試Part2的實(shí)際考題來看,考題的深入化延續(xù)前五個月的趨勢。話題涉及到環(huán)境,交通,語言,文化,手工藝品和法律等,這些話題是老題和新題結(jié)合,這些題目在今年8—12月將逐漸成為主流問題。所以,教師的教學(xué)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(xùn)練,從而能在考試中獲得高分??荚囈浞志毩?xí)以往考試的題目,對于任何話題要達(dá)到熟練表達(dá)的程度。
     3.口語考試回答問題的完整程度和流利程度對于考試的分?jǐn)?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(yīng)從comparing, describing, explaining和speculating四個方面來闡述,從而達(dá)到邏輯的完整性,換句話說就是我們所熟悉的5Ws – 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(fù)會大大影響最后的分?jǐn)?shù),發(fā)音最起碼要做到能讓考官聽懂,這兩項(xiàng)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(xiàng)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。建議考生每天練習(xí)雅思口語題目的時間在一個小時左右。
