【雅思口语高分经验】克服幼稚回答 直击考官内心
比如在论述一道卡片题：Describe a job that you would like to do in the future.的时候，一个学生说：I think good job is no job but have much money.我们暂且不去评论这个学生的语法问题，但从学生想要表达的内容上来看，一个好的工作就是不做事就有钱拿，这样的观点，可能很难得到考官的赞同吧。真正的好的内容应该是积极向上的，有自己独到见解的。所以这样的回答所能得到的分数就可想而知了。这种回答就极其的幼稚，但是，我们又如何让自己的回答不再如此让人发笑呢?
首先要有足够的ideas，我们就以工作这个话题为例，什么样的工作才算是好工作哪?有人喜欢工作well-paid, secure，有人则更看重challenging, exciting，认为那样的工作才worthwhile, rewarding。有没有free time，公司是否提供较好的pension benefit, medical benefit, working condition，和colleague是否相处融洽也都是很多人在择业前考虑的因素。可一个工作也总有不让人满意的地方，如果工作太demanding，职员会感到它stressful。又或者这个工作boring, dangerous，要不就是工人们必须在difficult environment中工作，都会造成负面的情绪。
比如，我们在谈论工作的时候可以说：Money is good, but I want a job which is also rewarding in other ways. It shouldn’t be boring like some other jobs, and there should be always something unexpected. Thus I’ll feel I am doing something worthwhile.
此外，在某些话题的论述上容易犯“幼稚病”的一个很重要的原因就是对这个话题的不了解。就工作这个话题而论，由于很多考生是尚未走出校园的学生，对工作不甚了解，就是由于这种不了解，所以无法很好的回答考官的问题，而偏偏对于学生后期的发展打算又是雅思口语考题中的一个组成部分，所以，做好一些背景知识的补充，先去了解一些相关的知识，就显的尤为的重要了。比如，我们应该去了解一些常见的岗位，和不同岗位的职责。如对各种岗位职责的描述：
I have to supervise and know about what’s going on in all the different parts of the company. I have to represent the company in all important decisions. (Chief Executive Officer)
I am a qualified accountant and a member of the management team. I monitor my company’s financial performance, as well as supervising the budgets for various projects and controlling their costs. (Finance Manager)
My job is around the development and training of the managers in the store where I work, and making sure they do their jobs well. Also, I’m responsible for the recruitment of new staff. (Human Resources Manager)
I give advice about all sorts of different things connected with food, such as advice on how to market it, developing new recipes; I also write articles about it. (Marketing Consultant)
此外，在论述的时候，小站老师建议考生也可以结合一些时代的特色。比如在谈论工作时，我们可以谈论现代工作的工作节奏很快，员工们不得不为heavy workload拼命，很容易feel tired, feel fatigued, feel frustrated, feel depressed，每天都必须do paperwork, meet tight deadlines，很少有时间take a holiday。这些问题都越来越被重视，特别是当人们意识到繁重的工作量还能导致很多的symptom, stress-related illness，比如high blood pressure, ulcer, fatigue，对于其心情的影响是毋庸置疑的，bad mood, low spirit会使整个公司面临low morale的困扰。可喜的是，很多公司都在着手解决这个问题，比如提供sports facility, create appealing working environment。而员工自己也要学会arrange time，来increase efficiency，而且经常做些运动来relax，这样可以使自己feel refreshed，keep fit在工作中have good performance。

雅思考试口语范文之民间故事
A traditional story :Chang’e and Houyi
Chang'e is the Chinese goddess of the moon. The lunar exploration-orbiting spacecraft Chang'e 1 is named after her.
According to legend, Chang'e and her husband Houyi were immortals living in heaven. One day, the ten sons of the Jade Emperor transformed into ten suns, causing the earth to scorch. Having failed to order his sons to stop ruining the earth, the Jade Emperor summoned Houyi for help. Houyi, using his legendary archery skills, shot down nine of the sons, but spared one son to be the sun. The Jade Emperor was obviously not pleased with Houyi's solution to save the earth: nine of his sons were dead. As punishment, the Jade Emperor banished Houyi and Chang'e to live as mere mortals on earth.
Seeing that Chang'e felt extremely miserable over her loss of immortality, Houyi decided to journey on a long, perilous quest to find the pill of immortality so that the couple could be immortals again. At the end of his quest he met the Queen Mother of the West who agreed to give him the pill, but warned him that each person would only need half the pill to become immortal.
Houyi brought the pill home and stored it in a case. He warned Chang'e not to open the case and then left home for a while. Chang'e became too curious: she opened up the case and found the pill just as Houyi was returning home. She either accidentally or purposely swallowed the pill. She started to float into the sky because of the overdose. Chang'e kept on floating until she landed on the moon.
While she became lonely on the moon without her husband, she did have company，a jade rabbit.
雅思考试口语话题素材之最爱的颜色
What’s your favorite color?
White:
I love the color white because it’s so clean and pure. When I wear white, I feel very peaceful at heart. But I have to pay attention because it gets dirty so easily. I think a white Tee Shirt and blue jeans are the best combination.
Black:
I think black is very mysterious and sophisticated. For a girl, it looks very sexy. And when you wear black you look thinner, because the color is very slimming.
Blue:
It’s the color of the sea and the sky. It’s also the color of jeans.
So I guess in a sense, it’s a young and free color.
Red:
Red is the hottest and most enthusiastic color you can ever imagine.
And it’s the color of China.
Green:
The color green reminds me of the nature and the environment.
It’s the color of Spring when all lives come back around us.
So wearing this color, I feel very close to nature.
Do you like the same color now as you did when you were younger?
Same:
Well, yeah.
I’m a kind of person that likes something and doesn’t change.
And I think the colors of black and white are the most classic.
I’m a simple guy, so I like simple colors.
Changed:
I guess it changed. When I was young, I was childish, so I like bright colors, such as light yellow and shiny red. But now, I’m a 20 years old young man, I’m more mature, and so I like more understated colors, such as dark blue or deep green.
What can you learn about a person from the color they like?
I think you can tell about a person’s personality by his or her favorite colors.
For example, if a person loves the color red, he’s very out-going and not afraid to show his feelings and emotions. But if a person loves black, for instance, she maybe very reserved and mysterious. She may not want to share too much with others.
Do any colors have special meanings in your culture?
I think the colors of red and yellow represent our home country, China,
because they’re the main colors of the national flag.
The color red also means happy occasions, such as wedding.
I know that the color white means wedding in the west.
Yet, the it means death in China.
Surprising, huh?
