还有一些琐碎的事情,不得不提一提:考口语前大家最好洗个澡,刷刷牙(尤其是男生,老外最讨厌身上有异味的人了,包括口臭。),可以的话喷一点香水(老外最喜欢了,呵呵)。女生最好化化妆,但注意是轻妆,千万别浓妆艳丽地去考场吓唬考官(这不是选美)。
去考场的时候带点水,在下推荐康师傅纯洁水或绿茶(因为在下天津人嘛,哈哈),因为你肯定最早要提前1小时左右到考场,如果你等待考试期间渴了的话,找水可不水那么容易的啊。也可以带1个口香糖(吃完别乱拽啊,大家要注意环保)。
以上就是在下对口语的一点拙见,仅供参考,如果有什么好的建议可以在这和大家交流,在下也可以请教一下。好了回到正题吧,下面我给大家介绍IELTS的TOPIC(原来有16,现在有点变动,但不大):

第三部分、参加雅思口语考试的亲身经历
我发现两个问题要特别注意:1. 问题都是事先准备好的,考官只是低着头听你说,找毛病,并不与你争辩,因此很难转移话题。
2. 任何可能的话题都要成充分准备,可以参考北京外国语大学出的〈汉译英口语教程〉,里面有城市介绍、体育、教育、经济和改革开放、工业、农业、外贸、妇女、儿童、老人、医药、人口、军事、宗教、环保、特区政策等等,几乎是应有尽有。
通过询问考完的战友,考前1个小时,我已经确定口语的Topic集中在3大方面:1.老人问题;2.电影问题;3.交通问题。
考官是Andrew Morgan,一个很绅士化的40多岁的英国人,语速较慢,发音很准。他先告诉我别紧张,如果紧张的话,就深呼吸。我告诉他没问题,可以开始了。接着,他对着录音机开始说”这是。。。考点,考官是。。。”等套话。
然后,他问我怎么称呼我,我说“Please call me James." 他马上就接着说"Well, James. Please describe your hometown." 等我说差不多时,他又问“Do you like shopping?"我说我既不喜欢也很几乎不去shopping。
此外,就我所知,大多数男人不喜欢shopping。有资料表明,女人shopping时能产生欢愉感,而男人会感到压力,具体表现是血压会明显升高。当然,偶尔我妻子会硬拖着我去shopping,不过,到了商场门口时,我总是对她说”你进去慢慢逛,我会在门口等你的。”他忍不住在笑,我就问他是否有同感。他笑而不答,转到Topic2去了。例行公事地告诉我,可准备1分钟,然后讲2~3分钟。
Topic2是电影,3个问题,
1.“Desicribe a film you have seen, what is its topic?"
2.”Where did it happen?"
3."Does it has a happy end or a sad one?"
我扫了一眼,想了15秒种,问他可以开始回答吗,他有点惊异,不过还是说OK。我就告诉他我结婚10年了,10年内从没看过任何电影,因为我们两人都不喜欢看;更主要的原因是我没时间,我是个工作狂,每天工作14小时以上,即使有点空闲,譬如上厕所时,也只喜欢看中国的古书,象〈论语〉、〈左传〉、〈史记〉等等等等。结婚前也从不看电影,因为我个人认为看电影是浪费时间,我只喜欢看书。所以,对我来说很难描述什么电影。我问他我必须描述一场电影吗。他居然说Yes。
我说你太难为我了,然后就给他讲我7岁时看过的”闪闪的红星“,江西的,长征时什么什么的,我认为应该是个大团圆的结局。不过时间实在太久了,记忆有些模糊,非常抱歉等等。
突然,他问我,你刚才说的电影叫什么,我说“Brilliant red Star"。他又问”可以在商店买到碟片吗?”我告诉他“抱歉,我不清楚。不过我想可能不行,因为这电影太老了,现在的年轻人不会喜欢,没市场。所以,我猜测不会有碟片的”。
然后,他关掉了录音机,看了看窗外,说“天都黑了”(我是5:20分考的,倒数第二个,此时已经5:35了)。我说“是啊,忙了一天,想必你也很累了。”他说“还好,还好”。然后就说88
