結束語
總而言之,現在的閱讀考試中細節信息的把握是一個基本的能力,但是大部分題目的最終解決還是要加強對原文句子的分析和理解,對段落結構及作者思路的把握,提高自己的綜合閱讀能力。
最后要為大家作的是口語部分的點評:
Part 1:2010-1-9雅思口語真題回顧:
2010年1月9號的第一場口試延續了2009年冬季的題庫,截止至今天的最后一個考生沒有考到一個新題。但是飲食和愛好這兩個考題的范圍有所提高,尤其是飲食當中水果和蔬菜這個話題,幾乎每三個考生中就有一個被問到。但是各地考生走出考場后感到相當氣餒,今天的口語考官時間掐得很緊,讓考生發揮的余地不多,讓很多學生預先準備的東西沒有說出來。同時,電視、電影、運動、報紙這方面愛好的題問得特別多,甚至在今天的第一、二、三部分被同時考到,估計是因為中國學生的寒假將至,以及今年中國的新年在二月份,所以今年的1-3月都會考festival這道題,而今天就有很多學生考到了。而很多人所預測的swimming沒有考是情理之中的事,因為冬天考官不太可能讓學生展開這個話題。而口語第二部分有一道出乎意料的題,是關于如何使用一個Machine,已經很多年沒考過的,今天在北京的教育考試中心考到了。證明在2010年春季需要重新準備該題。
Part 2:2009年雅思口語考試回顧:
縱觀整個2009年的雅思口語考試,我們可以發現整整一年下來90%的話題都是舊話題,只有10%的新話題,甚至就這10%的話題都不能算新話題,其中不少是前幾年就考過的,不過是消失了幾年后重新又考了,考的話題也都在意料之中,并沒有出現“驚心動魄”的考題或話題像2008年上旬出的law (法律),此題被眾多口語考生稱為“奪命題”,但第一部分在09年考的話題如fruits /vegetables driving swimming time job-hunting flowers 等還是考倒了不少雅思考生。而口語第二部分的話題在繼續舊題重考的情況下,極有可能受美國總統競選的影響,著重社交能力的新話題有所增加,比如an interesting speech ,a conversation a lecture that influenced you 等,同時2009年中下旬,雅思考試引進了一部分美國命題專家,這也會給雅思口語考試帶來一定的影響,并會持續到今年的雅思考試。畢竟英美兩國的文化背景有大不同。這也預示著雅思口語考試在2010年會更加國際化而不是像以往標志的英聯邦的語言測試。但對于雅思口語考生來說,不管出題政策如何改,重要的是我們要腳踏實地把口語基礎打好,再加上考前進行一定的考試技巧培訓,及每天都切切實實地苦練每個話題,在準備時間較充足的情況下,口語是最能顯示實力的一項,也是最有可能預先準備好的一項。
Basically in 2009, most of the speaking topics remained the same with very little change although in part 1 some topics like driving, food and cooking, fruit and vegetables , advertisement, swimming, news, visitors, bikes, art, house, transport and flowers , etc. were used more often than others. At the same time study/work, hometown, photo, music, newspaper/reading, clothes, hobbies, shopping were still very popular.
In part 2, since September, 2009, People topics, like friends, a person who is good at cooking, a famous person that you want to become, a family (but not your own) were frequently asked; Places topics, like a place with water, historical places, a house, a restaurant, a place you would like to visit /a journey you would like to take /a city you have visited, etc. were also used on a regular basis. For Events topics, like party, sports event /physical exercises, a happy event, an educational visit, family event, an important stage in life, a recent change appeared to be used in the majority of tests, and for Things topics ,something you lost, gift, a book you read, a TV program, newspaper/magazine were hot topics. All of these are expected to be seen again during 2010, so advice for 2010 candidates would be not just look forward, but also look back on 2009; basically at least 90% of speaking topics are going to be the same. Good luck!!!
