文章主要给同学们介绍的是雅思口语PART1范文赏析及难题解析。雅思口语部分是雅思考试的第一大难点，同学们要想从整体上提升自己的雅思考试成绩，首先需要同学们克服的问题就是雅思口语这一项。

　　What do you think of the importance of English?

　　I think that English is very important. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, English allows one to communicate with people from many countries. For example, on the Internet you can talk to anyone in the world that is on the net. Secondly, if one can read English, you can acquire a lot of knowledge. For example, you can read books and magazines from abroad, and surf the net of course.

　　How long have you been studying English?

　　I have been studying English for six months now. My parents enrolled me into a private school that specializes in English. The school has a good reputation in the city, and has employed a number of foreign teachers on their staff.

　　What aspect of English do you find the most difficult?

　　I find speaking the most difficult. Allow me to explain. Firstly, I am able to read and write English well. I suppose it is because one has the opportunity to think what you are doing. When speaking however, one has no time to think. In addition, when you speak you have to concentrate on your pronunciation. For example, when you are writing you only have to watch your spelling and grammar, but when you speak you have to apply everything you know about the language.

　　What aspect of English do you find the least difficult?

　　I find that I can write English quite well. For example, I have built up a good vocabulary over the past few months and am able to construct good sentences. This is because I have studied the meaning of all the unfamiliar words that I have come across. In addition, I am constantly expanding my vocabulary by reading English books and newspapers, and watching programs that are in English on the TV.

　　Why do you take the IELTS test?

　　Firstly, I believe it will give me a good indication of how well I have mastered the language over the past six months. Secondly, I would like to go and study in Australia, and one of the requirements of the university that I want to attend is that I achieve a score of six or more on the IELTS test.

　　What will you do if you fail the IELTS test?

　　I don’t even want to think about it, but I suppose one should be realistic and be prepared for any situation. As my parents would not be able to afford me staying in school any longer, I would have to go and find myself a job. I don’t have any qualification or experience, so it will have to be a menial job such as a worker in a factory.

　　What will you do after the IELTS test?

　　If I am successful and achieve a good grade, I will firstly apply for admission to a university in Australia. Secondly, I will apply for a study visa with the authorities both in China and in Australia. Lastly, I will keep on studying English. There are still many expressions that I would like to master, and I need to expand my vocabulary even further.

　　雅思口语PART1范文赏析及难题解析：

　　一. 地图题 Maps

　　1. Do you ever use a map?

　　答题思路: Part1口语话题通常以Do you … 开始发问，此类题目应该注意频率副词的使用，比如表达“经常做…”，可用 ‘be always doing’ 来强调频率。

　　精品答案：Yeah I do. I am always using maps on mobile phone when I’m travelling somewhere that I’m not familiar with. As I have a bad sense of direction, I find it most helpful.

　　2. When do you use a map?

　　答题思路：首先正面回答你在何时会使用Maps，继而补充一下使用Maps的好处。

　　精品答案： Umm…. I use maps when I travel to unfamiliar cities or countries, so I would never be afraid of being lost. Maps give me a better understanding of unfamiliar places, such as the position of restaurants and hotels.

　　3. Who taught you to use a map?

　　答题思路：通常地图的使用都是可以自学使用，当然你也可以说在使用一些专业地图时是由老师教会使用的，例如‘Maps in ancient times(古代地图)’。

　　精品答案：Actually, I figured it out for myself. You know, I’ve never had a problem in understanding them because they tend to be self-explanatory (不言自明的).

　　4. Do you prefer to use electronic maps or those made of paper?

　　答题思路：这个问题牵扯到两种地图的对比使用，此题考生可以先说明自己更倾向于哪类地图的使用，进而 ‘解释+举例’说明为什么更喜欢使用电子或者纸质地图。

　　精品答案：I generally prefer to use electronic ones, because they basically have more functions. For example, if you’re not sure how to get somewhere, you can type the name of the place and then search for it. In addition, electronic maps can highlight the best route and detailed timings for each part of the journey.

　　5. Have you ever asked others for directions?

　　答题思路：在直面回答这个问题后，一定要加上自己的解释，说明自己问路或者自己寻路的原因。

　　精品答案：Sure I have. When I travel to an unfamiliar place, I always ask people for help. Actually, it both saves a lot of time wandering around the same place and avoids being lost as well.

　　二.迟到题 Being Late

　　1. How do you feel when you are late?

　　答题思路: 迟到总是会给对方留下非常不好的印象，如果自己迟到了，应该感到愧疚(guilty)，并且向对方道歉(make an apology)。

　　精品答案：Well, I would feel guilty if I am late, because being late wastes others’ time and leaves a bad impression. When I am late I will definitely apologize to my friends.

　　2. How do you feel about those guys who are always late?

　　答题思路：西方国家的人最忌讳别人迟到，这会让人觉得你不靠谱(not reliable)。当然，如果是偶尔迟到，或在不可抗力条件下的迟到，还是可以谅解的(understandable)

　　精品答案：Well, being late for once or twice is quite understandable, but if one gets late all the time, he or she would leave me an impression that they are not reliable and trustworthy.

　　3. What are normally the main reasons for being late?

　　答题思路：迟到的原因除了自己有拖延症(procrastination)，还有一些不可抗力的因素，比如交通，恶劣环境或者其他紧急的事件。

　　精品答案： Well, it could be anything, such as punctured tires (爆胎), diversions of traffic(交通变道), sudden descent of fog(突起大雾), or other emergencies coming up. Nevertheless, if you can start off earlier, you would avoid being late.

　　三. 字典题 Dictionary

　　1. Do you often use the dictionary?

　　答题思路：字典并非只有遇到自己不认识的字或词时才去使用，平时多去浏览(browse)字典，也可以让自己获得很多知识。

　　精品答案：I often refer to(查阅) a dictionary for some new words. Besides, browsing (or going through)(浏览) the dictionary can enlarge my vocabulary and enrich my knowledge.

　　2. Are dictionaries important?

　　答题思路：这个问题主要是从字典的功能谈起，类似于第一个问题的补充说明，可以从查单词和增长知识两个方面谈。

　　精品答案：Of course. Dictionary is necessary for students to study a new language, especially when they are unsure of the word spelling or meaning. In addition, going through dictionary can help us obtain more information about the world.

　　3. Which do you prefer，book dictionary or electronic dictionary?

　　答题思路：对比电子词典和纸质词典，回答方式如同字典题中电子地图和纸质地图的对比。

　　精品答案：I am fond of using electronic dictionary, because it is convenient for me to look up a new word. Moreover, the number of words in electronic dictionary is many times larger than that of book dictionary.
