HOT TOPIC EIGHT PopulationPopulation – Population is indeed the biggest and worst problem of China. The effect of this problem is widely talked about in news, debates and even in IELTS oral exams. How to reduce the population is also one of the most important thing that people should care about. Adequate knowledge about questions regarding the negative effects of population and positive ways of solving this problem are necessary if you want to take the IELTS exam. Here are examples that candidates can browse on:1. What are the bad effects of having a huge population?Too much population in a country causes problems for the government. Some citizens dutifully pay their taxes while most do not pay at all because their income could not afford it. If this is the case, there will be a shortage to government funds. Too much population may also cause problem especially if the country’s space is not big enough for the increasing number of people.2. What are the good ways to reduce population problems?China has one good way of reducing population problem and this is the one child policy per family. In history, this country has one of the largest population in the world, yet they were able to make an intelligent solution about the problem. Parents especially the newlyweds should be educated about family planning and birth control methods. Since it is usually the poor and the uneducated that has too much children, government can also impose a law about having appropriate number of children according to the income bracket.3. Do you think population is the biggest problem of China?Population used to be the biggest problem of China, but I don’t think this is the case at present. The one child policy has been successful and it is now possible for parents to give quality life to their child because their budget could afford it. But there is a consequence too because since the parents have only one child; it is a tendency for them to pamper and spoil the child. This results in the child not being exposed to hardship and thus not being able to develop the character of hard work and perseverance, which may not be good for the country’s future.HOT TOPIC SEVEN PollutionPollution – A huge problem in the society that should be solved immediately and that is why this topic is also tackled in IELTS speaking test. We are facing a variety of pollution problem such as air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution etc. Examiners would like to know how the candidates feel about this serious problem and methods to solve them .Below are questions related to pollution that candidates should have knowledge about before taking IELTS test.1. What causes the pollution problems in your city?There are many causes of pollution in our city that leads to poor health of the people. Air pollution is a hopeless case because of the gas that too many vehicles and factories emit. Smoking is also a form of air pollution and it causes lung cancer both to the active and passive smoker. Improper disposal of garbage causes land and water pollution that often leads to dengue, malaria or dysentery especially among children.2. What should be done to reduce pollutions?People should regularly have their car checked on emission test to minimize too much gas emission per travel. Factories and households should properly dispose their garbage and not just throw them carelessly in the canals and roadside. Each individual should discipline themselves not to urinate or spit in public places but to do these things in the comfortroom. Government should make it mandatory to always keep on planting trees and unscrupulous businessmen should stop illegal logging.3. Why some people do not care about the pollution problems of the city?Some people do not care about the pollution problems of the city because they are not aware of the consequences that it brings. Some people are aware of the consequences but they are indifferent about it because it has not personally affected them yet. Some businessmen are mindless about the negative impact of the pollution because it would mean huge profit for them. Cigarette smoking is considered to be a stress remover so most smokers refuse to quit this habit.HOT TOPIC SIX TransportationTransportation — Transportation topic in IELTS speaking test includes questions about bus, subway, train etc. Bicycle is often asked during the exam because it represents a strong culture of the Chinese people in terms of transportation. Examiners like to ask questions regarding special culture and means of lifestyle of a place. It is indeed a part of every one’s life. Let us see what are the questions about this topic are often asked in the IELTS oral test.1. What do you think about scooters or electric motorbike?Scooters and electric motorbikes are very economical because they do save a lot on gas. Not only do they save on gas but they do save on time as well as riders of these kinds of transportations can easily slide through the traffic jam of cars and buses. But personally, I do not like to ride on scooters or electric motorbikes because I see them as very dangerous. Whenever I visit a hospital, I discover that most of the accidents of the bloodied victims are caused by these things.2. What should be done to encourage people to take public transportation?To be able to encourage people to take public transportation, the government should emphasize on the benefits of doing so. Public vehicles should be properly maintained so that people would find it safe to ride in them. The government can also impose a law on the maximum number of car each household should have. In some countries, there is a law about color coding of the plate numbers of the cars so they can only be used on certain days of the week.3. Should the owners of private cars pay more taxes?Each taxpayer is charged depending on the level of his income, so likewise I think owners of private cars should pay taxes depending on the cost of their cars. People who buy luxury cars or regular cars also worked hard to be able to afford to buy such a thing in the same way as some people who work very hard but could really not afford to buy a car. It is actually not only about cars because people who have more properties such as real estate’s naturally pay more taxes as compared to people who have lesser properties or none at all. As the saying goes, with great capacity comes great responsibility and more is required of you.HOT TOPIC FIVE LawLaw –This topic caused panic and anxiousness to the students in the first quarter and through the second quarter of this year. Because most of the students do not have anything to say about it. Plus, the fact that this topic needs a certain depth in both their language ability and knowledge to be able to conquer and answer the questions about law. In my opinion, students should know and be definite about the punishment of the law that they want to say. If not, or students are not sure of their knowledge, it is wise to give opinionated answers rather than giving information and details about it .Take note : There are no right or wrong in one’s opinion! Questions related to this topic that had occurred in the IELTS speaking test are:1. Why do people have to abide the law of its country?For a country to remain orderly and peaceful, it is very necessary to have laws for the citizens to abide. After all, we as the citizens would be the ones to benefit if we abide by the law. The government requires us to pay our taxes so that they would have the funds to further improve and maintain our roads, bridges and other infrastructures which every single citizen in the country is actually using. Proper penalty is imposed on people who committed a crime or a violence to discourage these things from being committed by the citizens.2. Do you think laws should be changed after a certain time?There is a saying that the only thing permanent in this life is change. It is actually a give and take thing because some laws work for the advantage of others while some of the laws work for the disadvantage of others such as the business sector. Laws should only be changed if it would give greater benefit to the welfare of the citizens. However, the government should be able to discern between laws that are negotiable and laws that are not negotiable.3. What do you think should be the punishment if a person does not follow the law of your country?Punishment for not abiding in the law should be in accordance with what law was violated. There are numerous kinds of laws and numerous acts of violations as well, so the government should impose a reasonable penalty or punishment for each kind of violation. If it is as grave as murder, then “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth should be applied.I think death penalty would be the best suited for this violation. HOT TOPIC FOUR Flat and HouseFlat and House –The most “in” topic in the last quarter of the year 2009. It is actually also one of the hottest topics last year, the year 2008. The difference between house and flat are the most in demand question about this topic. To be able to answer the questions well, candidates should at least know the difference between the two and have opinions about each one of them. What kind of decorations, and things that can be found inside a house or apartment should also be known by the candidates who are preparing to take the test? The following are example questions of flat and houses in the IELTS speaking exam.1. Why do you think some people invest a huge amount of money in buying houses?A house actually speaks a lot about the person who lives inside it. Some people invest a huge amount of money to buy a house because it is a reflection of how much they have achieved. Some people are willing to shell out a large sum of money because they would like to enjoy a quality and comfortable home with their family. After all, who would not want to take comfort in a nice and pleasant house after a tiring and stressful day?2. Should we live in a flat or in a house?Whether to live in a flat or in a house would actually depend on the lifestyle of the resident. It would be practical for a single professional who just comes home to sleep, take a shower and go to work to live in a flat for his own convenience. But it would be advisable for a family especially with children to live in a house as they will more likely be able to make full use of the space and the rooms. Of course, needless to say that we must live in a place where our budget could afford.3. What kind of decorations do you have in your flat/house?When you come to my house, you will see lots of oriental lanterns, bamboos, paintings and vases. It’s a Japanese theme for my living room so you get to see lots of pillows, a low square table and figurines of ladies in their kimonos. Since Chinese dish is one of the greatest dishes in the world, my kitchen is that of a Chinese theme. We would find Chinese characters and pictures on the wall paintings, porcelain plates and tea sets, and of course a round table where we enjoy our sumptuous meals.HOT TOPIC THREE Science and TechnologyScience and technology –This is one of those things that is changing rapidly in the society. Computers, MP 4, appliances are all part of the development of Science and technology. Any kind of change about these things usually has a very strong impact on us, some positive and some negative. Questions about pros and cons about this topic are often asked by the examiners during the exam. And anything about science and technology can become a question in IELTS speaking test. Here are some example questions candidates should know.1. Do you think computer will replace TV in the future?I think the computer has already replaced TV in the present time. People can download the movies or the TV series that they would like to watch from the internet. We can even enjoy watching our favorite Talk shows via internet too. The you tube is very famous nowadays because we get to see not only movies or programs but demonstrations about doing some of the things that we would like to learn to do.2. What are the disadvantages of high technology?High technology certainly takes away the virtue of patience in us because everything is fast paced. Some of us get out of touch with nature and are not able to enjoy playing with the frogs and enjoying the cool wind and sunshine outside because we prefer to play computer games inside the house. Mobile phones come in handy as we can easily get in touch withpeople whenever we need to. But with this convenience also comes consequences because studies proved that using mobile phones are harmful not only to our brain but also to the different parts of our body organs.3. Should young people adapt with the changes of technology now?Actually, it’s not only the youth that should adapt to the changes of technology but the adults and seniors as well. For many years, people who live miles apart from their families are only able to get in touch through snail mails and long distance telephone calls. But nowadays, they can easily get in touch with each other via webcam and headset phones. It is very convenient but both parties must at least know how to open the computer and be able to enjoy the use of these.HOT TOPIC TWO MediaMedia – Magazine, Newspaper, Radio, Television and Advertisement are all parts of Media. In the IELTS speaking test, there are a variety of questions comparing these different media types because it is considered to be the most powerful source of information that can straightly affect and influence people. Media is widely spread all over different places and countries. Most of the time it can change people’s way of life and way of thinking ,so examiner s would like to know how you think and feel about it. Here are some examples of questions related to media in the IELTS speaking test.1. Do you think that we should have censorship in TV programs?Y es, I think that we should definitely have censorship in TV programs. I speak not only for the children but for the adults as well. What we see on TV do affect our subconscious level more than we are actually aware of. X rated films and violent programs are major factors why crime and violence are very rampant in the world we are living in.2. Why some people are willing to spend a lot of money in purchasing magazines?Magazines can be source of leisure yet can be informative as well that is why some people do not hesitate to splurge their money on these things. Through magazines, we can read about the life of some of our favorite celebrities. We get to also learn about practical tips about budgeting, fashion, improving our homes, etc. It is a source of entertainment where learning is fun and not forced.3. What kind of influence can advertisement give to people?Advertisement either compels people to buy or refrain them from buying certain things or from doing certain actions without their conscious awareness. It is a very powerful tool to influence the mindset of people both young and old. All types of advertisement seem to have this kind of impact whether they are found on the billboards on the trains, buses and roads, whether they are found in the magazines or newspapers, and whether they are seen on TV. Advertisement has great power to boost or break a particular brand.As the year 2009 ends, all IELTS candidates are awaiting to foresee what trends in IELTS speaking in 2010 will be. Almost all the students in Longer training center are asking the same questions. “What kind of questions will be asked?”, “Will the question and topic be more challenging than before?” To answer all these questions here are some of the most important topics that candidate should prepare for IELTS speaking 2010.HOT TOPIC ONE EducationEducation was one of the most “hot” topics in 2009. Examiners would like to know the different situations of the education in one’s country and how it differs from the others. Good education is one of the most important right a citizen should have .Therefore; examiners would like to hear different views and opinions towards this topic. Without adequate knowledge about this topic, candidates will have a difficult time answering these questions.1. Why parents would prefer to home school their children?Parents prefer to home school their children because it has been observed that children who are home schooled tend to be able to make it to international universities. Most people would be concerned about the child having an abnormal social life as he will not have any classmates when he is home schooled. Surprisingly, home schooled children seemed to be well rounded as compared to children who go to the traditional schooling. Parents can pay particular attention on the weakness of the child and focus on how to improve this when home schooling.2. What are the advantages of Chinese education that you think should be passed on to the next generation?Chinese characters seem to be complicated, yet very interesting because each stroke and character has a meaning of its own. When a character is combined with another character, the meaning becomes different already. Chinese history is very rich in culture and values which are essential in one’s character and lifestyle. Sadly, not all the Chinese are lucky enough to be able to learn all these things.3. Do you think that having a 9 year-compulsory schooling is enough to have a bright future?I am not convinced about the idea that a 9-year compulsory schooling is enough to have a bright future. It would really depend on the child’s emotional maturity, character, capacity,intellect and resilience to be able to have a bright future. Most of the tycoons that we know did not come from well to do backgrounds, thus some of them were not able to finish even the elementary level. A bright future is not only gauged on material gains, but on how much this individual has contributed for the benefit of those around him.。

例如，考官常问的一道问题Where do you come from?Well, I was born in Hubei Province. However, I have been in Shanghai for like more than a decade, so it’s my second hometown really. Actually I think I enjoy my life here for, you know, its convenience. Besides, Shanghai is also a very beautiful city, like a pearl by the Y angtze River.名师总结雅思口语常考话题：描述现场类Describe a show or performanceYou should say:what kind of performance it waswhen and where you saw ithow it was performedand explain how you felt about this performance.My friends and I visited Laoshe Teahouse in Beijing last summer. It was our first time to visit such a famous place. We not only had nice tea but also enjoyed Chinese traditional art performances. It has been quite an impressive experience to me, and to my friends, too.The teahouse is to the southwest of Tian’an Men Square. Its amazing Beijing style has attracted hundreds of visitors from home and abroad every day.Before we decided to go, we had heard a lot about that place and we got very excited. We got even more excited when the performance was about to begin-audience from different parts of the world made the atmosphere hot. The performance began with a thrilling starting music. It was folk music played with Chinese traditional instruments. by Teahouse Music Band. The drum beats immediately dragged people’s attention. After starting music was Peking Opera Highlights with the name Presents from Magu. I didn’t quite follow its plot because I didn’t understand their singing. However, I like the music and the way it was presented. The most unforgettable show came when an artist from Sichuan started performing Face-Changing of Sichuan Opera. It was just like magic. He changed his face so quickly that no one could tell how he could manage that. This show gained much applause from the audience.I am glad that I took my friends from the US to the Laoshe Teahouse that evening. We had wonderful time there. I like this kind of performance. It has become a special showcase of the essence of Chinese national culture, and a bridge connecting China with the rest of the world.Part 3Artistic PerformancesAre traditional art forms performed very much in China?In some small cities and towns, where popular modern art is less introduced into, traditional art forms are still playing an important role in entertaining local people. In big cities, like Beijing and Shanghai, traditional art forms are kept well and performed a lot in big and small theatres. I think people are getting more aware of protecting our own traditions, including traditional art performances. And this is why it’s now a fashion to go and watch a really good Beijing Opera show at a not so low price.How does TV program help to spread traditional culture?TV program helps greatly to spread traditional culture, definitely. For an obvious reason, people have easier access to a TV program than to a live show. Every one can afford it. So, with the help of TV show, more people would have the chance to be exposed to traditional culture.What benefits do you think people derive from watching performances or visiting art exhibitions?In my opinion, art is not a necessity in our life, like food and drink. But life cannot be without art. Sounds contradictory? Well, I mean, what people derive from watching performances or visiting art exhibitions is mental pleasure and satisfaction. People say art is the reflection of life.I agree. Suppose after a day of hard work, what will a piece of beautiful music bring to us? Comfort, relief, refreshment, and so many other mental enjoyment. Life is hard, but thanks to art, we become less depressed.Do you think people generally prefer to go to a concert or to listen to recordings of music?Generally, the majority would prefer to listen to recordings of music. It’s much easy to get and every one could afford the money and time. Besi des, concert is concert. It’s live, and it’s one-time. You get there, you listen to it, and it’s over. Recordings can be listened to for many times. People choose to listen to their favorite recordings at any time, any place they like to.The Performing Arts and ChildrenWhat is the value of watching artistic performance (or experiencing artistic activities) in relation to children's development?Beauty education is important in children’s development. Watching artistic performance or experiencing artistic activities is a good way to have such an education. It helps children to build up their understanding of this world. They get to know what is beautiful and what is ugly, which is good for their growing-up. But there is one thing we have to be careful about. That is to choose the proper performance and activities, improper ones could only lead to a bad education.What is the value of children learning to perform, such as learning to sing or dance in front of an audience?It depends on if the child him/herself likes to do it or not. If it’s his/her own willingness to learn, it’s a hobby. Learning to perform will be a pleasant experience. Knowing how to perform could be a treasure for the child’s future development. Performing could be a well-paidocc upation. However, if it’s not the child’s own wish to learn, it could be torture and I don’t think the child could get anything positive from the learning.Do you think the performing arts should be included in school curriculums? (Why?/ Why not?)Performing arts should be included in school curriculums as an optional course, but not a compulsive one. If it’s optional, students with interest can choose to attend the course and develop their performing talent. For students who are not that involved in performing, they can have enough freedom not to choose to attend the course. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for those who don’t like performing.Do boys and girls have the same feelings/attitudes about performing (or watching) an artistic performance?For me, it’s a little blind to give a yes-or-no answer to this question. Well, if there is difference, I see it as the difference between individuals, but not between boys and girls.But…well, yes, I guess it’s easier for girls to get involved and become part of the story. I remember when I watched the play Cinderella many years ago, I cried when Cinderella was being tortured, but the boy sitting next to me didn’t.Who do you think is more suited to learning how to dance - boys or girls?It’s ha rd to say. We have female dancers as well as many successful male ones dancing on the world stage. I mean male dancers can achieve as high as females dancers do. However it is a fact that more girls are learning how to dance at an early age than boys. The Chinese thinking is like this. Girls have to be pretty, and dancing girls are just fancy. But for boys people hold different expectations. Boys are expected to be playful and tough. It is not seen as a right thing for boys to learn how to dance..。

专家解读：2010春季雅思口语难题总结
专家解读：2010春季雅思口语难题总结Part 22010年的雅思口语考试继续延续了2009年的出题风格，在考题难度上基本没有改变。
但就2010年春季的考题来看，考题出题趋势的变化还是相当明显的，而且第一，第二，第三部分的考题划分界线不再明晰可辨，很多考生反映第一部分的考题会出现第二、第三部分的相关内容。
但是，无论考题如何变化，考题中旧题的比例还是相当高的。
所以，我们要对出现过的考题做到心中有数，这样，才能在考场中有好的发挥。
2010年春的考题还是有一定的难度的，而学生们在口语考场中最重视的一直就是第二部分卡片题的回答，因为这部分的考题需要学生独立完成，第二部分考试过程中考官几乎是不发话的，所以，如果考生没有做好充足的准备，对考题不熟悉而导致在回答卡片题时有过多的停顿，一定会对考分有很大影响。
而考官又是无法给出过多提示的，所以，对于第二部分的考题，我们一定要在进考场前做到心中有数，特别是一些难题。
所以，在这里，专家将对2010年春季雅思口语第二部分中的难题做一个盘点，供烤鸭们参考。
首先，食物和烹饪一直是雅思口语中较多见的话题之一。
雅思考试对于生活的贴近可见一斑。
但是学生在这个话题上的发挥却常常不尽如人意。
可能是我们的传统教材中很少有涉及到这个话题的，因而学生对相关的词汇较为缺乏。
当然，我们在描述的时候也应尽量选取较为简单的菜肴去描述，而且最好是西式菜肴。
中式菜肴通常以种类繁多，烹饪复杂而著名，有时要把这样的菜介绍清楚已属不易。
这一类考题有以某一道菜为主要考点的：How do you cook this dish? Why is it your favorite dish? 也有以一顿丰盛的菜肴为主要考点的：What did the meal consist of? Was it made for a special occasion? Why was the meal so special? 还有一些考题问的是一些相关的信息，比如烹饪者、烹饪地点、共同进餐的人和喜欢烹饪或这道菜的理由。
