八月即將過半，也意味著變題季不遠(yuǎn)了。近期口語考試的題目趨勢難度仍圍繞5-8月題庫來出，這季Part2人物類話題相對較多，所以很多本月考試的同學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)在P2被問到人物類話題的幾率較高，事件類則緊隨其后，這也在一定程度上反映出接下來口語換題的趨勢，建議大家根據(jù)高頻題庫結(jié)合個人經(jīng)歷，認(rèn)真準(zhǔn)備。
【Part 1-3真題點評】
Part1: PART1除常規(guī)必考題 Work or study/Accommodation/Hometown以外，新題部分考頻較高的有Social media、Perfume、Borrowing/Lending等，其實都比較貼近生活，備考時建議多結(jié)合自身經(jīng)歷及感受舉出例子、拓展細(xì)節(jié)。另外建議在準(zhǔn)備Part1的過程中，針對不同話題積累一些該領(lǐng)域的常用詞匯，比如Social media話題中的“熱搜”(trending)、“網(wǎng)紅”(online influencer)等，提升表述精確度的同時展現(xiàn)出自己的語料專業(yè)性，Lexical resource部分的評分自然會上升。
Part 2: PART2高頻話題除了本季題庫中多的人物類話題以外，事件類話題也較為熱門。事件類話題通常涵蓋的內(nèi)容較廣，展開方式多樣，細(xì)節(jié)添加甚至可結(jié)合人物地等話題要素一同描述，從而避免“無話可說”。需注意的是，高頻的事件類話題可能涉及同學(xué)們的經(jīng)歷“盲區(qū)”，如“Describe a time the vehicle you were travelling in broke down. ” “Describe a time you received a call from somebody you don't know in the public.”等，建議提前思考，早做準(zhǔn)備。
Part 3：PART3考察學(xué)生運用語言表達(dá)自己觀點并進(jìn)行論證的能力，也是整場口語考試反映學(xué)生真實語言水平及思辨能力的環(huán)節(jié)。這部分的備考關(guān)鍵在于平時多積累答題切入點及相應(yīng)語料，再配合考場上遵循直陳觀點 多方論證的答題結(jié)構(gòu)，就能做到處變不驚輕松應(yīng)對。
【SAMPLE ANSWER】
Describe a time the vehicle you were travelling in broke down.
You should say:
where you were going;
who you were with;
how long it took to fix the vehicle;
and explain how you felt about it.
展開全文思路這是一道經(jīng)典的事件類話題的變體，要求考生來描述一次旅行途中乘坐的交通工具壞了的經(jīng)歷。部分同學(xué)可能覺得沒有這種經(jīng)歷，對交通工具壞了的原因也非常陌生，不知如何開口。其實在這道題目的描述中，更應(yīng)著眼于事情發(fā)生的過程，如花了多長時間修理，全程感受如何等，專業(yè)性的性能問題反而不是重點喔。同時比照本季其他與旅游相關(guān)的話題如“Describe a time you visited a place with friends.” “Describe an unusual vacation you had.”等，語料準(zhǔn)備就更事半功倍啦。

【原創(chuàng)范例】
I got to thinking about an experience during my exchange semester in Melbourne. It was a road trip we planned for a long time, we rented an SUV from a travel agency in Melbourne city. We wanted to do some sightseeing in Tasmania before the semester ended, but we didn't have it inspected when we rented it.
Unluckily, the car overheated half way on the road and couldn’t run again. We felt desperate and did not know what to do, the only method we came up with that time was to call the car renting company.
At first the line was always busy, we waited for 5minutes and finally someone came onto the line. After asking what happened and what we needed from them, they sent two workers and a new car to us. It took them 4hours to get to the place where we were. Then we got a new car and the company took the old one away.
Though we haven’t expected that happen at the first place, the rest of the trip went extremely well and till now, it became our precious memory lifelong.
