　　Email这个话题并不“新颖”，在雅思口语题库中最近出现的时间是2019年1月 -- 4月。在剑13中，Test2 - Part1中的Social media与这个Email也是属于同一类话题。随着每个季度话题的变化，我们可以发现不变的话题就是“网络信息”和“社交方式”。

　　邮件往来在中国并不是最热门的信息互换方式，但是从西方文化的角度看，Emails的使用频繁度就像我们的Wechat或者QQ, 无论是在学校还是公司，都是人们必不可少的交流工具。

　　所以，在这个素材积累上，的方式是打开我们的邮箱，浏览一下你的Inbox和Outbox有什么类型的邮件，Junk mail box里面有没有未删除的广告邮件。打开一封最近一次你发过的邮件，看一下你的reply time和Email content. 这样的素材不是“刻意积累”，而是“主动发现”，还原真实生活，且内容不会遗忘，在回答时更能准确表达自己的意思。

　　这个过程做完以后，再回到这个Email话题中，你会发现无论你对邮箱使用是否频繁，邮件的基本类型、邮件的回复频率以及广告邮件的大概信息都会印在你脑海中，然后你自然会得出一个“Do you prefer to email, phone or text your friends”的答案。最后一步，就是解决这些内容的相关词汇和词组了。

　　在高科技出现突破之前，可以推断Part1“网络信息”和“社交方式”的考题类型不会超过letter, handwriting, telephone, email, smartphone, text message, social website，online materials这些范围。和剑15的Email的解题方式一样，打开-浏览-使用，最后解决词汇障碍，即可。

　　答案概要：

　　What kinds of emails do you receive about your work or studies?

　　I will receive an email about the timetable for my classes every week from the office. The specific time and classrooms need to be told before I take the classes through emails as it’s a formal method that the information will be recorded permanently.

　　Do you prefer to email, phone or text your friends?

　　I prefer to text my friends since I don’t need their replies immediately and texting would not bother others at all. Sending emails requires long waiting time and it’s impolite to call someone at night. Therefore, sending message is much easier.

　　Do you reply to emails and messages as soon as you receive them?

　　I would reply to emails as soon as I receive them. Especially when someone writes to me to appreciate me or compliment me about my responsible work.

　　Are you happy to receive emails that are advertising things?

　　Actually I don’t care about it. It’s quite easy to clear up the Inbox, by selecting the advertising mails and sending them to the junk mail box. Just ignore them.

　　剑13的Part 2分别是物品类、个人经历类和科技传媒类。地点类话题在每个季度的题库中都会出现4-5个(加上老题目)，基本围绕house, tourist attraction, park, building等。剑14的hotel对于考生们而言是个新题，难点主要体现在酒店的基本介绍和外观描述。但是亮点部分也很容易表现，比如hotel的entertaining facilities, special services and hospitable staffs.

　　在2020季度的真题中，我们也碰到过a crowded place这种生僻的地点类题目。一个地点题的生动形象主要表现在：通过方位移动，你看到了什么;通过设施介绍，你会经历什么。Part2切忌只概括内容，要学会列举和展开细节描述，分享个人体验。

　　地点类话题每个季度都会有，即使变化无常，也一定是你见过或者听过的地方。
