雅思考情回顾及趋势分析（口语+写作）
随着2019年11月30号的考试落下帷幕, 整个11月5场考试就全部结束了, 本文将对11月的雅思考情进行回顾、总结, 分析目前的考试趋势,新航道们会在如何备考上给到各位“烤鸭”一些建议, 希望能够帮助各位“烤鸭”在接下来的考试中顺利“屠鸭”。
本文为口语和写作篇
口语篇
Part1
Topic : Study
首先大多数考生都是以学生的身份参加考试，所以study这个话题是在所难免的。开篇可能会问到：
Do you work or study?
对于这个问题大多数学生只有一句：“I am a student.”或者“I'm studying.” 这样的表述虽然回答了问题，但是却难以展示语言水平。这也是大多考生的通病，太过于聚焦问题本身而忽视了做相关的拓展。
所以我们要先明确part 1 的答题整理结构是怎样的：
1. answer the question （给出回答）
2. expansion （做出拓展）
步大家都可以做到，给出明确的答案“我现在还在上学”。那么拓展可以从哪些方面展开呢？可以包括：features，examples，details，experience等。这道题除了告诉考官“I am a student” 还可以补充道：在哪里上学，所学专业是什么，现在处于几年级，以及你对于现在学习生活的感受是什么。
例如：
I am a student in Nanjing University and now I’m in the sophomore year.
*大一：first year/ i am a freshman; 大二：second year/ sophomore; 大三：Junior year; 大四：senior year
I'm a student now and major in business, which is not easy but really interesting.
接下来可能还会专门问到你所学的专业：
What’s your major?/what subjects are you studying?
这个时候很多同学只会把专业的名字：一两个词语甩给考官。试问你的回答还没有考官问题长让考官如何评价你的口语水平呢？这个时候可以补充你的专业Features or details。
E.g.1:My major is/ I am major in business. It’s really interesting because we can learn lot’s of knowledge in various fields, including marketing, finance and economics.
E.g. 2: My major is Human resources which is interesting and indeed, however (however 也可放在句中要转折的信息前以表强调), a tough task that has endless deadlines at the end of each semester.
除此之外也可以把所学专业和将来的职业规划结合起来:
I am studying law because it’s a really promising major and I’m hoping to pursue it as a career in the future.
Topic: Haircut
本季一个令人头疼的“做头发”问题相信难倒了很多同学，其实只要同学们用心留意生活就不难找出思路。首先我们可以积累一些Tony老师们的拿手绝活：
女生发型：
curly 小卷，
wavy 大波浪
straight 直发，
braid 辫子
shoulder-length，齐肩发
fringe/bang 刘海儿，
side-parted / middle-parted偏分/中分
男生发型：
crew cut 平头
Bowl cut 锅盖头
Spiky hair刺头
Mohawk [ˈməʊhɔːk] 鸡冠头（莫西干发型）
另外请注意：
理发店千万不要说hair shop, 而是barber’s /barber shop
“我昨天去剪头发了”不是 “I cut my hair yesterday”,这表示你亲自操刀了却了三千烦恼.而是：“I got my hair cut yesterday. / I got a haircut yesterday.”
Tony, Kevin们的真实身份是 barber/hairstylist/ hairdresser
其中有道问题说: Have you ever had an unhappy haircut experience?
首先我们注意这道题是以一般疑问句形式提问，我们除了以yes或no回答外还可以用其他开场白方式来回答。
Yes:
直接使用表肯定的副词。如：definitely；absolutely；certainly。
短语：without a doubt; of course
简短句子：
I’m pretty sure.
I believe so.
I supposed I have.
I would say / have to say yes
No:
I doubt it.
Not really.
此外上述yes的用法都可改成否定态度。
P.S.：不要在一场考试中重复同一个用法太多次。具体的主语和时态要根据问题灵活变化。
相信大家其实都有相关经历：千叮万嘱修一修，剪完一看变一修。稍不留意发型师们就让我们秒变杀马特，所以回答时我们可以把上述一些你不喜欢的另类发型名称用上。
I have to say yes. Once upon a time, I told the hairdresser exactly what I wanted my haircut to be, you know, the common crew cut. But the result is that I had to keep a Mohawk hairstyle for almost 2 weeks.
如果没有不愉快经历也不能单单说no就万事大吉，要讲出相关原因。这个时候生命中有一个靠谱的Tony老师就十分重要了。
Well，i don't think i had such experience. Because I know a barber who is really qualified and reliable, which means I have always been satisfied with his haircut skill.
Topic: Jeans
牛仔裤相信大家肯定人手一条，所以有道题问我们: Why jeans are so popular?
一般对于物品类的话题我们要清楚从哪些角度进行描述: color，material, size, age, function, meaning or memory.
一件衣服如果被人们广泛接受，也许是因为材料舒适，易于搭配，耐穿耐脏，价格可接受等原因。所以我们可以先来总结一下jeans的优点有哪些：
Material：jeans are made from Denim, essentially, which is just cotton. 丹宁布是做牛仔裤的专用面料，本质上就是棉。
Color：indigo. 靛蓝色，也就是dark blue，是牛仔的专用颜色。
Price：affordable for most people, even students. 价格对于学生来说也可接受。
Style: easy-matching 百搭; creative and unique design in some fashionable brands. 有些潮牌的设计很有创意，很独特。
但有些同学并不喜欢穿jeans，那我们可以总结一下jeans的缺点有哪些：
Too skinny to do sports: 太紧了不适合做体育运动
Hindering blood circulation 甚至紧到阻碍血液循环
Too casual to attend some formal occasions 特别正式的场合穿牛仔裤就不合适了。
这些语料不仅仅可以回答这道题目，类似于“Do you like jeans?” “Is it popular to wear jeans in your country?”，“Do you often wear jeans?” 等题目也可以使用。
E.g.1 : Definitely I like wearing jeans. You know, jeans are made from denim, essentially, which is just cotton. It is really comfortable and durable enough for wearing and tearing every day.
E.g.2: To be honest, I have to say I’m not really into jeans. Because some of jeans are too skinny to do sport exercise. Since I am a basketball lover (篮球爱好者)，jeans might not a proper choice for me.
Topic : Hometown
Hometown 这个经久不衰的话题本月考频热度依旧未见。虽然看似是个老生常谈的内容，但想要答的出彩也需要策略。
Where is your hometown?/Where are you from?
此类问题最忌讳的就是一个地名抛出去结束了回答。一定要记住做一定的expansion。我们可以根据家乡的地方特点来做一定的补充。
如果家乡是一二线大城市，那么我们可以来总结一下the features of big cities.
优点：Vibrant; modern, prosperous，cosmopolitan, hustling and bustling, full of hustle and bustle，advanced public amenities (such as shopping malls, cinemas, bars, hospitals,schools...), various transportation, many high-rise skyscrapers ....
缺点：congested traffic condition, over populated, fast pace and heavy burden of life....
如果是小城市或者小村庄呢？
优点：peaceful and quiet，carefree and joyous lifestyle, idyllic scenery, closed to nature...
缺点: inconvenient transportation, far away from city centre and public amenities, cramped streets，lack of job opportunities....
E.g.1 My hometown is XXX, which is a prosperous big city with plenty of high-rise skyscrapers. But sometimes I also felt it’s indeed over-populated.
E.g. I come from a small village named XXX. I really enjoy the idyllic view there which provides us a carefree and joyous lifestyle.
有时考官还会根据hometown这个基本话题提出相关延伸问题。例如：
Will you still live there in the future?
In what ways has your town or city changed since you were a child?
类似话题我们依旧可以根据尚上述分析的家乡特点来进行思考。
E.g. 1 Well, to be honest, I am not willing to stay at this small town after graduating. It too isolated that the traffic is too inconvenient, which means if I need to see a doctor, it would take me almost 1 hour drive to the city hospitals.
E.g. 2 I have noticed that the number of the population in my city has increased dramatically. That has been reflected in the frequent traffic jams especially during peak time.
Part 2
根据不同考点的考生回忆，本月的高频part2考题很丰富多样。下面为大家总结了几个11月份不同类型的part 2 的题目。
People 人物类
Describe a person who is good at his or her job
You should say:
Who this person is
What his or her job is
How he or she likes the job
And explain why this person is good at the job
这道题目将people和work两个话题结合了起来。我们可以首先从人物入手。人物类可以从appearance 和personality两个角度展开。很显然，本题的构思重点可以落脚在personality上，描述一下人物对于这门工作反应了哪些人物性格，即人物对待工作有哪些积极态度。例如，responsible，patient，diligent等。或者可以侧重点放在人物是如何在工作上experienced and qualified。无论从什么角度分析，一定要结合具体事例来进行说明。这也是人物类话题中需要注意的一点：一定将人物和事件的描述相结合，才能使我们的内容充实。
例如下面这个sample
My mother is a lawyer which is a so stressful and time-consuming job. Her customers are always some managers from different kinds of companies. They turn to her to consult all kinds of legal questions. Sometimes she helps them interpret laws and regulations, gathering evidence to formulate defense and initiate legal actions （什么样的工作以及大概的工作内容主要有哪些）.
She is a really diligent eager beaver(工作积极主动的人), which means she often gets home late, totally exhausted. Sometimes, she even forgets to have dinner and burn the midnight oil for work (熬夜加班) until 11 o’clock at night. My father always asks her to change her job or just be a housewife, but she never agrees with the suggestion(平时的工作状态表明了diligent). She loves performing legal research, drafting legal documents and following up after a court decision. Therefore, I know she would never give up her job, however difficult and tiring it may be.
Being a lawyer is never easy. When I wake up and go to the bathroom at midnight, the light in the study is always on. She always treat her work carefully and seriously so that she has to read many documents and a lot of previous cases just to make sure she isn't refuted in court. I still remember last month she was very anxious because the client refused to provide all the detailed information for the sake of privacy. Then my mother spent half a month persuading him into trusting her （具体的一个事例来说明工作态度的carefully and seriously）.
This year, she was awarded as one of the best lawyers in her firm. I think she deserves that considering she has always been so devoted to her job （在工作中取得的成就）. She also sets a very good example for me and I have learned the precious spirit of work ethic from her (对我的影响).
此外，这里给大家推荐一些关于work话题比较好的表达
A sense of fulfillment and achievement 成就感
Excessive workload 过量的工作负担
A stressful and time-consuming job 压力大且耗时间的工作
Work under enormous stress 在巨大的压力下工作
Backbreaking/ laborious task 很艰巨的任务
A demanding job 要求很严的工作
Work ethic 敬业精神
Be well-staffed 员工素质高的
Be an eager beaver 工作积极主动的人
Work around the clock 毫不停歇地工作
Be tired up at work 忙于工作无暇估计其他事
Media 媒体类
媒体类的话题无外乎是TV-programs，movies，advertisement，songs等。本月考官们似乎对电影话题重燃旧情。“A movie you would like to share with your friends” 多次出现在考生回忆中。
Describe a film you would like to share with your friends
You should say:
Where you watched it
What it was about
Who you watched it with
How you felt about it
And why you want to share it with friends
关于电影的描述主要可以分为三部分
电影的大概信息：actors/ director/ type/...
电影内容梗概
你对整个电影或某个片段的深刻感触
如果能把这个电影的内含思想和自己的生活结合起来将会更加生动。例如以下Sample：
“You have a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. ” （以经典台词作为开场白既引起考官兴趣，也显示语言功底）
I believe you’ve heard this sentence. Yes, it’s a famous line from the American film The Pursuit of Happiness which is directed by a renowned director Gabriele Muccino. And the leading role stars (由。。担任主演) my favorite actor，Will Smith(电影基本信息) . It about a struggling(拼命) father who encouraged his little kid to be brave and not to give up when faced with predicaments （电影内容梗概）.
When I was at high school, my teacher played the film for us in class one day. I was under excessive pressure(压力大) at the time as I wasn’t performing well in my exams. My parents were worried about my study and my mental health. This movie was important because it became the symbol for most of my classmates including me. I gathered up courage and tried much harder. I kept telling myself that I ought to protect my dreams. This movie touched the bottom of my heart,(直击心灵) and I felt deeply moved and motivated （在生活中的鼓舞）.
In addition, it was also fantastic in improving my oral English. I used to read the lines over and over again, and surprisingly I found my pronunciation improved after time （在学习上的帮助）. So now I’m willing to recommend it to my friends, and hope it will be useful for them too.
Object 物品类
本月“喜欢穿等衣服” 这一话题又多次出现在很多考生的视线中。
Describe a piece of clothing you enjoy wearing
You should say
What it looks like
When do you wear it
Where did you buy it
And explain why you like it
衣物类的题目不算新话题，但关于对衣物的描述很多同学们除了对衣服的名称和在哪里买到之外，很难再有其他方面的内容展开。此题属于对物品类话题的考察。我们首先可以再次回顾一下关于物品可以从哪些方面进行描述。Color,material, size, age, function, meaning 都可以是很好的发散方向。其中，关于颜色的描述，我们除了可以使用常见的赤橙黄绿青蓝紫之外，可以关注一下Pantone公司每年推出的流行色，例如：serenity（静谧蓝），ginger yellow（姜黄色）chili pepper（辣椒红），peach pink（蜜桃粉），Galaxy blue（银河蓝），greenery（草木绿），living coral（活力珊瑚，2019年度色）...这些颜色既可以展示我们的知识面，又增添了内容的趣味性。如果大家担心考官不了解这些时髦颜色，我们可以在叙述中以定语从句的方式加以解释，例如，This skirt is serenity which is a kind of blue was produced by Pantone Incorporated. 此外关于物品的meaning也是可以浓墨重彩来展开的方面。如果是别人送的礼物，代表了什么含义，表达了什么情感，甚至可以当作一个事件来叙述。
回到衣物话题本身，首先对于衣物的面料、设计和品牌可以进行细致的描述。如果是be made of cotton, 可以说穿起来soft and warm，如果是silver，可以说smooth and cool。设计如果很又个性我们可以说the design is trendy and stylish，如果很日常我们也可以用easy-matching(百搭)来形容。如果你对这件衣物对品牌很了解也可以简单介绍一下这个牌子的信息。此外，穿这件衣服的场合也是值得一提的方向，甚至可以将这个场合当作事件来展开，比如为了毕业典礼妈妈特地送我一件luxurious gown，在那天我作为学生代表发言，大放异彩。
Sample：
My favorite piece of clothing is a casual jeans jacket. It is a short button downed jacket(扣扣子的夹克) that comes in light denim （丹宁布，牛仔专用面料） blue. The jacket is designed in the trendy style, with two invisible pockets on the sides. (颜色和设计)
It fits me through the shoulders and hits at the hip(长度刚好及臀) when I wear it. I bought the jeans jacket a year ago online from Forever21，which is a famous brand and popular among young generation （品牌信息）. I was shopping for workout clothes when I encountered the jacket on sale. It turned out to be my favorite piece of clothing that I own. I always wear this jacket in spring and early autumn, when the weather is not terribly chilly. I can wear it in the daytime when I go to classes and also during nighttime when I hang out with friends.
The primary reason I love the jacket is that it fits me perfectly, it seems like specially tailored for me(量身定制) and all my friends say I look sharp(样子时髦帅气) dressing in it. Also, the jacket is not too heavy or lightweight, even on a warm summer day, I can tie it around my waist when the temperature is higher and put it on at night when it gets chilly. Last but not least, the jacket is of good quality, unlike other hard denim fabrics, the material feels soft and comfortable. I’ve been wearing this jacket for almost a year and it still looks just as new as when I bought it.
