本次考试考题精选范例解析1. Are trees important?

Analysis: 重要性，即原因和意义。

Sample Answer: Yes, absolutely. The list of benefits which trees offer goes endless. They maintain environmental balance, reduce pollution, control erosion, provide wildlife habitat, save energy and

make our human life more comfortable. Facing the problem of deteriorating air quality in lots of cities, it is still not too late to plant more trees to make a difference. If there is enough greening around the places where human live, flooded problems caused by lack of trees won’t be so appalling nowadays.

2. Do you like collecting things?

Analysis: 旧题重现，回答内容可适当细节化。

Sample Answer: Definitely, I’m fascinated with stones, all kinds of. It may sound a bit childish, but I do actually have two big boxes of them polished and stocked in storeroom. It’s mainly because of my fancy of beach combing. I collect shells, conches, turquoises, genuine flint arrow tips, radioactive green stones and even some green powdery smelling chalky stuff that looks like coral.

雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导2月新题的出现率相比1月不算高，整体备考方案差别不大。相比Part 2其他三大类话题，人物类范畴考题出现了部分问法较为笼统的话题，如Describe a person you want to be. Describe a person you respect.考生可将这些话题与其他具体性话题进行简单整合。此类话题的思路拓展方式相对丰富、灵活，考生可从熟悉的人物类大话题中加以选择，只要考虑到话题延展的可操作性，并将具有正面积极阳光向上等特点的人物作为描述对象，考生较为容易在短时间解决主体内容定向的问题。但在选择人物类别时应当注意是否是名人，普通人与名人的区别主要在Part 3的考官提问中会较为明显。如考生选择想要成为的是某一个名人，在Part 3中需做好准备与名人影响力或名人效应等相关的问题，如在中国什么人出名，为什么人们对名人充满好奇，成为名人会带来哪些好处和问题。
