　　2018年10月20日雅思考试预测（含口语新题解析）

【口语】

　　

 

　　以下为本场考试部分新题解析：

　　 

　　

Part 1

　　

Letters and Emails

　　 

　　Do you still write letters nowadays or do you just use email?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Obviously I don’t write letters any more as it is so old-fashioned and takes so long to get the message to others. Besides, I believe fewer and fewer people write letters right now.

　　 

　　Can you tell me some of the major differences between writing letters and email?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Well, one big difference between them I can think of is the speed at which the message is delivered. What I mean by that is the receiver can get your message through email much faster while it will have to take at least a few days for the receiver to get the message.

　　 

　　What sorts of email can make you feel excited?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Well, definitely any email that contains good news can make me excited or even thrilled. For instance, I will be so pleased to receive an email in which I am informed that I am officially admitted to a university I’ve been dreaming to go to.

　　 

　　Do you think that people will stop using letters in the future?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　No, I do not think letters will become obsolete in the future, because it brings people a much more intimate and personal feeling when people receive letters from their friends and families, which is something that email cannot do.

　　 

　　Do you prefer to make a phone call or send an email to others?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　It really depends on what matter I need to address. For instance, I will have to make a phone call if I need someone’s immediate attention to the matter I work on. Otherwise, I will probably just send an email as it is nothing urgent.

　　 

　　

Part 2 & 3

　　Part 2题目

　　 

　　Describe an interesting website you often visit.

　　You should say:

　　What it is

　　When you first visited it

　　What you found out;

　　And explain why it was interesting to you.

　　 

　　提示：

　　此话题属于“物品”类话题， 所要描述的是“一个有趣的网站”；使用的主要时态应该是“过去时态”， “一般现在时态”以及“现在完成时态”；在交代前三个“basic information”的时候， 我们需要思考：它们之间是否存在某种 logical connection？或者可以给出哪些相关的拓展信息？ 比如，在描述第一次接触这个网站的时候， 大家可以尝试给出更多的细节，尽量给考官创造出画面感；另外，大家须特别关注， 第一个信息点是最最重要的， 需要在最开始就告知考官你要描述的这个网站是什么。

　　 

　　到最后解释，说明的部分，大家需要展开说明为什么这个网站如此有趣， 特别， 比如它的内容， 展现形式或者它提供的其他服务等等。

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Well, theres indeed one particular website I would like to talk about, and it is Taobao. You may have heard of it if you have stayed in China long enough.

　　 

　　Anyway, its become one of the most influential and popular websites in China. As a shopping website, millions of sellers take advantage of this platform to sell all kinds of products every day, which is such a benefit for shoppers as people from all ages seem to be interested in it,  so just like what people say, there is nothing you cannot find if you go to search for it on Taobao.

　　 

　　I could still remember it was about 8 years ago that  I first visited that website when I was actually trying to look for something else on another website, and suddenly a pop-up window came out so I just unconsciously clicked on it. And then it turned out to be Taobaoa huge variety of products being sold every day. Plus, you could find lots of special offers there occasionally.

　　 

　　I enjoy that website so much as its such a wonderful place where I can shop anything I need without having to walk around at those shopping malls, which can be really exhausting. In addition, its also an amazing place where I can do some window shopping just to kill time when I feel really bored. Therefore, I have to admit, the more I use it, the more I like it.

　　①influential： 形容词； 有影响力的 

　　Eg：With his influential background, Peter definitely has a great impact on the changes of the company.

　　 

　　②a variety of : 短语； 各种各样的

　　④window-shopping： 名词； 浏览商店的橱窗（只看不买）

　　Eg：Students usually enjoy window-shopping as most of them do not have enough money.

　　 

　　Part 3题目

　　 

　　What do you think of on-line education?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Well, I personally think its a positive trend as it doesnt require learners to travel to traditional schools or classrooms, which saves a lot of time.

　　Instead, the learner can just stay at home sitting in front of a computer with the internet access, and then he or she can just enjoy the pleasure of receiving education.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①positive： 形容词；积极的  乐观的

　　Eg：No matter what troubles he faces, he can always stay positive. 

　　 

　　②access: 名词；使用权

　　Eg：Peter sent a complaint letter to the manager of the hotel as there was no internet access in his room.

　　 

　　How does internet shape the way people live?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Well, our life has been dramatically changed since the invention of the internet.

　　In the past, we didnt have the access to the latest news unless we turned on our TV or read newspaper, but now with the internet, especially with the internet function in our smartphone, we can get the news so fast.

　　Eg：After living for 5 years in the US, her eating habit has dramatically changed.

　　 

　　②function : 名词； 功能  作用

　　Eg：I suggest you try to find more functions in this new smartphone.

　　 

　　Why do some people, especially young women get addicted to on-line shopping?

　　 

　　Well, reasons may vary, but I guess the most direct reason is the convenience brought by on-line shopping. With those on-line stores selling all sorts of goods, it is clearly so easy for those young women to browse what they like, meaning all they need to do is to sit in front of their computer and click their mouse to make their purchase.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①vary： 动词； 不同  不一样

　　Eg：People may vary in terms of their personalities, but they all come here for one purpose. That is to win the contest and get the award.

　　 

　　②purchase : 动词/名词； 购买

　　Eg：In order to stop him from overspending, he keeps a record of each purchase he makes.

　　 

　　Do you think people can live without the internet?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Definitely not.

　　Internet has greatly shaped the way we live in so many amazing ways, so we rely on it for almost everything.

　　For instance, we use it to send emails at work, to stay in touch with friends, to look for information and we also use it for fun when we feel bored.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①amazing： 形容词；吃惊的  美好的

　　Eg：With so many amazing movies in the up-coming season, he does not really know which one to watch.

　　 

　　②rely on: 动词短语; 依赖  依靠

　　The chart below shows the rate of males and females who were overweight in Australia from 1980 to 2010.

　　 

　　Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

　　 

　　 

　　解题思路：

　　

本次雅思考试的小作文部分考的是关于从1980到2010这30年期间内男女超重的情况分析。在描写的时候，一定要注意描述清楚不同时间的趋势变化以及数据分组（分段）。这个题目可以有两种思路，一种是男性体重和女性体重分开描述，各成一个主体段；另一种是按照年份特征，将1980至2000期间呈增长趋势的男女性体重在一段中描述，而将2000至2010期间的数据变化放在另一段描述。本文以第二种思路为例。

　　参考范文：

　　The bar chart gives information about the percentage of overweight men and women in Australia over 30 years from 1980 to 2010.

　　 

　　Overall, it is clear that this three-decade period witnessed a noticeable increase in overweight rate of both men and women in Australia, and the obese men clearly outnumbered their female counterparts.

　　 

　　During two decades from 1980 to 2000, the ratio of overweight males experienced an unbalanced increase from 47% to 70%. By the year of 1990, the overweight ratio had risen at a slower pace to just over 50%, while from then on, it rocketed to 70% in 2000. In the meantime, the overweight figures of the female saw a similar trend, rising gradually from 30% in 1980 to 50% in 2000.

　　 

　　From 2000 to 2010, the percentage of overweight men witnessed an opposite trend, with a slight decrease of 3%, while the overweight rate in the female remained stable at approximately 50% during this decade.         

　　 

　　重点表达：

　　①rate: n. 比率

　　②outnumber: vt. 数量超过

　　③counterpart: n. 对应的人或物

　　④ratio: n. 比率（=rate）

　　⑤rocket:  vi. 快速增长

　　⑥see a similar trend:  呈现相似的趋势

　　以下为重点话题及范文解析：

　　题目：As part of education, students should spend a period of time studying and living in a different county to learn language and culture. Do you agree or disagree?

　　题型：同意与否题

　　话题：教育类

　　 

　　解题思路：这个话题考查是不是同意“作为教育的一部分，学生应该要花一段时间去海外学习和生活来学习当地的语言和文化”这一观点，一般来讲，碰到这种同意与否题，可以完全同意或者反对，给出2-3个同意或者反对的理由；也可以采用相对折中一些的写法，先让步一下出国学习不是每个学生都必须选择的，但是对于大多数学生来说，是具有吸引力的选择。

　　 

　　参考范文：

　　More than a decade ago, the idea of studying abroad was rather rare. However, with more and more students choosing to go abroad nowadays, some academics propose that it is a surefire way for language and culture learning by immersing students in the culture. In my opinion, although learning abroad is not something that every student have to choose, it is an alluring option for many students.

　　 

　　Admittedly, moving to a new country for studying and living is sometimes a difficult leap to make for a few students in consideration of the factors such as financial burdens, time spent away from families and friends, and the big responsibility they will take on. Still, many graduates are looking forward to furthering their studies or working abroad someday for its obvious benefits.

　　 

　　For most of language learners, studying abroad grants them a chance to completely immerse themselves in the foreign language, and there is no better way to learn than to dive right in. This is because if they are in a “real environment”, they need to do the considerable language practice by using the new language in daily life in order to communicate. In addition, some local universities will offer language courses to provide the international students with a more formal education.

　　 

　　In terms of culture, students who have an experience of learning abroad are able to get in touch with diverse cultures. Compared with those who learn cultures via reading books or watching movies, the students living in exotic local environment can have the chance to experience an incredible new way of life, and thus have a better understanding and appreciation of the local people and history. 

　　 

　　In conclusion, although plenty of factors may stop students from learning in a foreign country, the trend is that an increasing number of students seek to study and live abroad with a view to its positive effects on education.

　　 

　　重点表达：

　　①surefire:  adj. 一定成功的

　　②look forward to doing: 盼望，期待

　　③immerse:  vt.沉浸，使陷入

　　④exotic:  adj. 异国的

　　⑤with a view to: 考虑到，以……为目的
