教师的解析：

■这道题目要求同学们描述一个会给你所在的地方带来提高的改变。乍一看这个题库可能会有点不知所措，再

仔细一想，相信很多同学都会去说类似于‘supermarket','shoppingcomplex','parks'

等等这样的地方。狠一点的同学甚至会把"好的看书学习地方"的“图书馆"搬过来。。。

■当然了，并不是说这些地方不可以（"图书馆”还是别说了吧。。。），只是大部分同学描述的也都

是这些地方，你的流利度、发音、词汇语法等等并不比别人胜出许多，所以你再去说这些地方，并不

会有任何优势。考官会觉得有些千篇一律。

■所以我建议可以说一些稍微不太一样的地方，比如说小区的停车位/停车库，描述的时候可以先提一下

现在是多么的拥挤，多么的难停车，然后再强调改变。再比如说小区垃圾站的垃圾分类，也会一定程

度上提高人们的生活水平。我这边提到的是“狗狗之家”。

教师的解析：

■这一道题目把要求同学们描述"achallenge,可以修饰成为abigchallenge,也可以同义替换一下

变成handleadifficultsituation,overcomeachallenge等等。

■这个题目中没有问及你最后挑战成功的后你的感受，以及在整个过程中你的感受的变化，在回答的过

程中，你也可以提及一下。

■在做题的过程中，注意题目用到的是过去式，所以在描述故事的发生的时间，地点和发生经过时，要

用过去时态；后来的感想或者对未来的展望可以用一般现代或者将来时；在考试中，注意时态的转换,

是评分标准中的一条；

■这个题目是今年出现的新题，如果侧重描述感受，那么这个题目就会比较抽象和难讲.所以可以用一

半的时间来说一下故事，有事情的起承转合，就可以有更多的内容可以说。

教师的解析：

■这道题把要求同学们描述uasuccessfulsmallcompanyn,这里需要注意省题，题目说的是

company,那么在选材和答题时都要注意不要说一个business或者是一个小的shopormarket,

business和company在规模都很小的情况下，最大的区别是，business你可以是单干的，但是

company是需要有一定数量的employees.

■在做题的过程中，最多涉及用一般现代时和过去时态，但是在讲这个公司已经达成的成就和成绩

时，使用完成时态。当然，在回答“howyoufeelaboutP这个问题时，如果要描述这个公司对个人

将来的规划等是否会有影响和改变，会使用到将来时。在一个题目中，可以使用到多种时态，做到语法

的多样化，这也是考试考查的重点之一哦。

这个题目可以与很多题目合并，比如：

Describeasmallcompanyinyourhometownthatyouthinkissuccessful

只是在合并的时候，大家要注意时态变化

教师的解析：

■描述和健康相关的文章，文章的内容可以从大家的日常生活中常见的健康问题出发，避免讲一些太

晦涩或者专业的内容。

■常见的健康问题从mental和physical出发：

♦depression

♦stayinguplate

♦overeatingjunkfood

♦lackofexercise等等;

■从整体的讲述框架来看，这道题的整体思路可以是：

♦什么时候，在哪里读到了这篇文章；

♦文章的内容是什么，针对文章所描述的问题是否给出了相应的建议；

♦读完后的感受是什么，

此题较特殊，暂时没有特别好的可串联的题目，且不建议生搬硬套：

Sample：

教师解析:

。一般都是问你未来想做的工作，但这一次的题目问的是不想做的工作。这就像是在写作一样，想做的

工作，摆出各种各样的优点；不想做的工作，那就给出几条缺点。大部分的工作可以想到的缺点就是：工

作太忙、加班多、出差多、工作又脏又累、风险太高等等。

。在说的时候千万注意不要有任何歧视的意思表达出来，你要说你虽然不想做但是你尊重这样的工作。

比如说，你说不想做清洁工，你可以说这个工作很累很辛苦，工作也总是要和垃圾接触，对身心健康也不

好，但不可以说是因为他们社会地位低、很卑微这类原因。

。时态为一般现在时，因为讲述时主要是在讲这个工作的不好不喜欢的地方、缺点。但是在回答

"whereyoulearnedfrom"时，要用过去时态来描述以前知道这个工作的场景和情况。

教师的解析：

■这道题把要求同学们描述"somethingyouboughtthatwasdifficulttouseatfirst”，这道题目其实

可以和任何你准备过的物品题目串起来，但是因为问的是一个一开始觉得难用的物品，所以如果要串题目

的话，要注意一个情感上的变化体现。描述这个物品的内容都可以保留，但是得有有一个戏剧性的情节来

回答题目“wasdifficulttouseatfirst”的部分，然后在后面可以说现在觉得好用了并说明理由，这样可以

cover题目中“explainhowyoufeltaboutit”这一个prompt

■在做题的过程中，最多涉及用过去时态，但是在描述这个东西是什么、什么样子等应该用一般现在

时态。如果这个物品在未来会给你的生活带来任何影响和变化，你在说的时候要注意换成将来时态。语法

的多样性也是雅思口语考核标准之一哦。

这个题目可以与很多题目合并，比如：

Describesomethingyouboughtrecentlythatyouwerehappy

with只是在合并的时候，大家要注意时态变化和不同的主语
