1.雅思口语之人物类话题的答卷思路
人物TOPic大致分为这么几种：
A friend: a happy person, one you want to travel/study/work with, one youadmire……
A celebrity: sport/movie/music star, a famous person you admire, asuccessful person, a character from a TV program or a movie.
A family member: one who influenced you most, one you like best, a happyperson, an old person.
Else: child, teacher, neighbor
先从一个例子入手，来讲一说人物这些TOPic的特征和重要程度。
题目：Describe a celebrity you admire.
Example by Edward:
Explain: who is this celebrity? What has he/she done to become popular? Whydo you like him/her?
When this TOPic is regarded/As the TOPic is mentioned, I would say a celebrity whom I admire most is theformer Chinese gymnast who is named Li Ning . Before Istart, I do want to remind you that he is the man who lighted up the primarytorch in Beijing Olympic Game 2008.
Li Ning is no doubt one of the greatest athletes in China owing to hisgreat contribution to gymnastics. As a gymnast, Li Ning demonstrated exceptionaltalents and perseverance/fortitude that his contemporaries didn’tpossess. In Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games, he won 4 goldmedals, which was the best performance in that game. The next year, he wonanother two in World Gymnastic games. Prior to Beijing Olympics, he still held arecord of 14 champion titles in gymnastics. In his days, he barely can find acompetitor. So this good-looking young man has often been called the prince ofgymnastics.
Having retired from his beloved game , Li Ning still continued his passion in the field of sports byestablishing a sport wear company which was named after him. The company soonbecame an unprecedented success. Presently, the brand Li Ning has become a maincompetitor that Nike and Addidas can not ignore in the global market.
Another reason I admire him is that Li Ning is not just a normalbusinessman who only cares about money, but also a man responsible for thefuture of the whole nation . He often donatesmoney to communities and the national educational program called hope plan. Soeverything he does can be used as positive demonstration for the youth.
Therefore……
这个答案回答完，第二部分8分应该是不成问题了。这个TOPic要说完可能需要3分钟，所以在考场上势必会被考官打断，由于这部分给定时间在1-2分钟。但并不需要担忧，由于考官会对你说：don’tworry if I sTOP you.
人物TOPic是所有TOPic中基本的一项。它是应该要优先考虑的一项，所以应该充分筹备。缘由非常简单。不少TOPic都会和它有关联。当你试着把其他TOPic和人物联系起来时，筹备口语的TOPic就变得轻松了很多。
2.雅思口语三大失分点
First thing first do
第一让大家明确一件事，雅考虑试的目的是为了让学生到海外后能非常不错的学习和生活。所以题目的范围不只包含了大家的衣食住行，而且需要学生能回答一些深层次的问题，并且有肯定的逻辑考虑能力和革新能力。
失分点1、I rap
有的考生说话语速过快，完全没轻重缓急，甚至已经听不出来正常的呼吸喘气，只能被考官理解成是“灵异现象”。根据口语评分标准，考生应该得到的分数为5分。
弥补手段：
事实上，正常的停顿是必要的。流利和迅速并不是一个定义。在不影响到语言明确的首要条件下，语速快些当然可以。但假如为追求流利而牺牲了语言的明确和考虑的时间，这就得不偿失了。况且，正常而流畅的交谈，本身就应该在句子和句子间作适合的停顿，以便对话双方可以特别强调某些内容。所以，建议考生应将“把每一个音发准、发正确”放在第一位，维持语速和音调的均匀顺畅尤为重要，语速忽快忽慢，声调忽高忽低都看上去突兀、夸张和不自然。第二，假如语速过快，考生反而没给自己留下时间去考虑下句话该怎么说。除非考生已经可以达到纯英语思维，不然必然会一直卡，每句话之间都会打“格楞”。所以对考生而言，将自己想说的话缓缓道来，同时留给自己肯定的考虑时间，才是上策。
失分点2、I robot
部分考生在回答问题时，总是秉持着一个固定的思维模式—探寻标准答案，此类答案有时候没逻辑性，考生不了解如何表彰或批评一个事物，不会如何发表我们的看法，并去论证它。没个性，没自己独立思想的学生是得不了高分的。有些学生面对口语考试中的这类深层次的问题，不要说是用英语，就是用中文也说不知道，平常想都没想过，也没功夫想。
弥补手段：
多看，看读，多考虑，有肯定的积累。这不光是为了考试，以后到海外大学去念书，被需要论证一个事情，这种功课是不少的。
失分点3、I guess
不少考生在考试的时候会对某个或某几个问题不甚知道，又或是题目中的某个词或词组不是非常了解，在听不懂题目的时候，绝大部分同学采取的方案是：一猜二蒙。
当你猜测或蒙的时候，你在以下方面紧急丢分：
对考试试题的理解能力
表述自己看法的能力
3.雅思口语的高分词
1.在只能做表语的形容词前不可以用very，而要用其他的词。
比如：
It's well worth trying。这非常值得一试。
I'm wide awake。我是完全清醒的。
She's fast asleep。她在酣睡。
We are much beholden to you for your help。大家很感激你给大家的帮忙。
He felt quite sure of the appointment。他感到非常有把握获得这个职位。
I'm much afraid of snakes。我很害怕蛇。
类似如此不可以和very连用的形容词还有：afloat，alight，alive，alone，alike等。它们可以和much或verymuch连用。比如：
The two brothers are very much alike。这两兄弟很相像。
He is very much alive。他很活跃。
2.在过去分词用作谓语动词时不可和very连用，要用much，very much或quite等说明程度。
比如：
The financial situation seems to be much/very much improved。财政情况好像有非常大好转。
Britain's trade position has been much/very much weakened byinflation。通货膨胀非常大程度上削弱了英国的贸易地位。
Ted was most surprised when he heard the news。特德听到这个消息非常吃惊。
当过去分词指的是一种状况或性质时，可和very连用。比如：
a very frightened animal一只极度受到惊吓的动物
a very complicated problem一个非常复杂的问题
当过去分词用作谓语动词，但表示一个人对某事的反应时，可与very连用。比如：
We were all very shocked by the news about Tony。
I am very pleased to hear it。听到这话我非常高兴。
有的人在这样的情况下宁可用much不需要very，但在现代英语非正式文体中常用very。
3.目前分词一般不可以和very连用，要用much，quite或其他词。
比如：
The theory sounds quite convincing。这建议听起来非常有说服力。又如：不可以说veryscreaming，children需要用像如此的词continually or loudly screamingchildren;singing birds也不可说成very singing birds等等。very只可能和已转用为形容词的目前分词连用，比如：veryinteresting，very exciting等。
顺便说一下，在有些副词前不需要very要用well，quite表示“非常，很，完全”之意。比如：
His name is well up in the list。他的名字排在名单的前面。
He was treated quite fairly。他遭到非常公平的对待。
动词也不和very连用，要用其他副词，如much/very much和 quite等修饰。比如：
I should much like to come。我非常想来。
They closely re百度竞价推广ble each other in appearance。他们的外貌很像。
By doing so you will greatly oblige us。你如此做将使大家很感激。
He is well grounded in the English language。他的英语有非常不错的基础。
