贾若寒:预测2011雅思口语真题及高分技巧jiaruohan：各位同学大家好，我是贾若寒，新年好！过年的气氛还未散去，我们兔年第一场雅思访谈开始啦！Happy New Year “兔”You!网友：老师，听力要提高只有听写，那么我们应该什么材料最合适雅思jiaruohan：最适合听写的只有剑桥雅思真题集4-7。

听写是提高听力的唯一方法！网友：阅读除了通过背单词，做练习，还有什么提高的好方法吗jiaruohan：要提高阅读，一定要掌握阅读题型技巧和考场时间掌控。

其实阅读考试高分的精髓就是掌控时间。

如果在规定时间内把简单题目全部做对，同时解决部分阅读较难题型。

这样就能保证雅思阅读7分以上。

因为今天的主题是口语，阅读就不能多展开了。

我的雅思阅读课上会对这些内容做详细讲解。

网友：贾老师，考场上part3答不出的时候怎么办？jiaruohan： Part 3答不出的时候马上举例子，这是一种非常有效的应对方法。

网友：贾老师，part2每次都能说得超过俩分钟，请问这样好不好呢？jiaruohan： Part 2如果你说到2分钟考官会打断你跟你说时间到了，不会影响你的分数。

网友：能传授点写作高分的Secret不？谢谢jiaruohan：写作高分的秘诀是避免用难词以及不要追求华丽的句型。

思路要流畅，即使语言简单但思路流畅了分数也会非常高!同时多用examples说明问题，而不要一直用reasons。

还有一重要点就是把剑桥4-7真题集后面的雅思考官范文研究透彻，这是很多同学忽略的。

通过研究考官范文就可以知道考官是如果打分的并且了解考官喜欢的行文方式。

网友：贾老师，12号考试的同学，作文要看些什么，是不是还得练习下去考试？口语重点看点什么话题呢？jiaruohan：作文和口语请关注我的无忧雅思博客的预测板块。

Intake test 2 The Fast-Food RevolutionThe Hague UniversityHalf year PREP school courseReading comprehension and writing skillsTotal time involved: 35 minutesInstructions∙You have 15 minutes to read this article and find out about the fast food revolution.∙Next, hand back the text to the examiner!!!!!!!∙Then you will be given writing paper and another 20 minutes to write an answer to the question below.∙Use no fewer than 120 and no more than 150 words.Make sure your name in Pinyin (Western letters) and date of birth are written on the writing paper.Please write clearly!The Fast-Food RevolutionMaurice and Richard McDonald made a lot of money with their restaurant, but they grew tired of the stresses of ownership. The brothers were tired of searching for replacements when their cooks and waitresses quit. They were tired of replacing broken dishes and glassware and lost silverware. Before abandoning their successful business, however, they decided to try a new system of preparing and serving food.Their remodelled restaurant contrasted with the original. It served just hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, and drinks. Paper wrappers and paper cups replaced the dishes and glassware. Silverware wasn't needed because the restaurant didn't serve any food that required a knife, fork, or spoon to eat. Gone also were the professional cooks. Instead, food preparation was divided among several workers, each with a specific task. One worker grilled the hamburgers; another wrapped them in paper; a third cooked French fries; and another poured drinks. There were no waitresses. Customers ordered and paid at the counter then carried their own food to a table. This new system was like a factory assembly line. Increasing the speed of food preparation increased the kitchen's output and lowered its costs. The system revolutionized the restaurant business and introduced the term "fast food."Carl Karcher heard that a nearby restaurant was selling cheap, albeit top-grade hamburgers for 15 cents. He was charging 35 cents for burgers in his own restaurant. When he visited the McDonald's restaurant, he was astonished to see dozens of customers waiting in line to buy burgers while the assembly-line kitchen staff quickly and efficiently prepared their food. He liked the new system. In 1956 Karcher opened his own fast-food restaurant and named it Carl's Jr.Around this time, Ray Kroc, a salesman who sold milkshake machines to restaurants, also visited the new McDonald's restaurant. Kroc was impressed by its food preparation and service system. He convinced the McDonald brothers to sell him the rights to build McDonald's restaurants across the U.S. By 1960, Kroc had opened 250 of them. A decade later, there were nearly 3,000 McDonald's franchises across the U.S.The fast food industry grew because it was born at the right time. In the 1950S, the economy of the U.S. was expanding, and people were inclined to be optimistic and ambitious. This was a generation that was willing to risk starting a business and to work hard to make it successful. They also trusted technology and acknowledged that machines could work as efficiently as individuals. Meanwhile, the auto mobile was growing in popularity, and this was, by far, the most important factor that led to the enormous growth of the fast-food industry.New technology had made automobiles dependable and easy to drive. They were alsoaffordable in the growing economy. People wanted to go places, and a national highway system, expanded during the 1950S, enabled US families to drive long distances. They needed gas stations where they could refuel their vehicles and restaurants where they could eat. In time, hundreds of new gas stations were built along the highways, complemented by new fast-food restaurants where hungry travelers could get a quick meal.The McDonald's model was widely copied in these restaurants, often by inexperienced owners who wanted a fast route to success. Some of the new restaurants failed, but many succeeded. Some even expanded into nationwide and worldwide chains. Among the contemporary start-ups of the 1950S and 1960s were Taco Bell, Burger King, Wendy's, Domino's Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), and Jack in the Box.The amazing success of fast-food chains soon inspired other kinds of retail businesses to form national and international chains of stores. Although many people reject the idea of globalization, business chains are rapidly overlapping national borders and spreading around the world. (625 words)快餐革命莫里斯和理查德·麦当劳赚了很多钱,和他们的餐厅,但他们种植厌倦了应力的所有权。

2011雅思考试(ielts) 雅思口语雅思听力雅思阅读雅思写作（5）雅思考官最恨不知所云和死记硬背“我最恨雅思考生两样东西，一个是过于笼统抽象的回答(generalized response)，另一个是死记硬背的答案(memorized answer)，坦白地说，一旦他发现有这种倾向性，会立即纠正或警告考生，而如果考生继续一意孤行的话，就把他们直接…打入地狱‟。

”这是在中国雅思界活跃了将近10年的现任雅思高层考官费闻立的回答。

与之深入交谈后的朗阁海外考试研究中心主任宁园跟记者总结表示，费闻立的回答给了中国考生很多启示，首先，一定要有个性表达。

“如果你是一位雅思口语考官，每次考试要接待30个考生，而每次问到food(食物)时，30个人都会异口同声地说delicious(美味)，你也会发狂吧。

”宁园表示，个性化语言最能博得考官好感，这也是为什么死记硬背一些段落回答考官提问，自以为得计却会被考官立刻“拍死”的原因。

重视好Part 3拿高分“我们绝大多数考官在长期接触考生的过程中，已经养成了一种习惯：把Part 1看成只是warm-up，因为考生刚入场，紧张、忐忑、焦虑、惶恐等不良情绪都或多或少存在，所以Part 1的目的主要是打破考生心中的冰山，让考生安定下来，以便达到后面的最佳状态。

在Part 2中，由于不少中国考生备考非常认真，对每种可能出现的描述题都准备得很充分，即使是事先背出的答案也能说得十分自然流畅，就像自己思考出来的那样，因此考官很难确定是真是假。

老外有一个很优秀的传统：在无法判定善与恶、是与非、真与假、美与丑的情况下，宁可相信前者而非后者。

很多老外也知道自己的这一软肋，所以更倾向于把Part 2视为一个灰色地带，一个缓冲区，一个可以从侧面大致了解考生程度的考察部分，也就是说考生在Part 2的发挥优异与否和最终的分数关系不大，只有Part 3才是决定考生命运的一道关卡！”费闻立表示，作为整个口语考试中的最后一道防线，Part 3在所有考官心目中的份量重于泰山。

张老师2011年上半年总预测24题生活水平类1. Some people think cultural heritage should be used to attract tourists and promote tourism while others think that would damage cultural heritage. Discuss.首段：Recent decades witnessed (见证) the development of cultural heritage into tourist programs over the world, but the development has caused some discussion (讨论). I believe that the cultural tourism should be supported generally. (considering考虑到the benefits for countries and tourists)中间段1:There are some advantages to developing cultural travel industry. First, tourists and local citizens can widen their horizon (扩展视野) by visiting (拜访) cultural sites, while the traditional cultures can be better understood and appreciated by a wider range of world citizens and so flourish. (繁荣，发扬光大) moreover, the incomes from the businesses of traveling can be used to further (进一步) protect cultural relics. (遗迹，文物).中间段2：On the other hand, there are some opposing (反对) views on the practice (做法). Some people might argue that some travelers’actions inevitably(不可避免)/ admittedly(不得不承认地) can cause damage to the local environment and negative effects on the protection of cultural heritage. They may also claim that only the huge numbers of tourists can make up a burden on the task(任务work) of preserving(保护) cultural relics.尾段：therefore, the development can be more advantageous than damaging, as long as sufficient work is done to protect the local environment and cultural heritage. For instance, legislation(立法) can punish(惩罚) those who violate the environment laws while the number of visitors to some special sites can be limited mandatorily. (强制性)可套题目：(只要是现象题，好坏，都可以适用)Fashion/international trade/ fast food/ study abroad通用思路Advantages: consumers; economy—relevant businesses—insurance保险transportation, advertising, production, intermediate services providers (中介)—job opportunities—good circulation of economy.Disadvantage: luxury; shocks on the development of local businesses; concern on the loss of talents or the loss of domestic fundsSolutions: most consumers are not stupid and tend to make reasonable consumption. (当地打击：competition cannot be ignored, which can force the local businesses to improve their product quality and services and finally provide sufficiently competitive products or services to compare with the foreign brands.) (The governments of those developing or under-developed countries can create better policies favorable to those students studying abroad and encourage good talents to come back.)Companies focus on the academic qualifications资格证but pay less attention to experience. Positive?Advantage: companies—such graduates tend to have certain professional abilities and creativity or studying ability, which are supposed to necessary for corporate development. Students can take the practice as a motivation (动力) (driving force) to work hard, while graduates can take that as a reward (回报repayment) to their time, efforts and money for the qualifications.Diploma文凭（毕业证）, degree 文凭（学位证）, certificate证书(专业类或通用类考试取得, 4,6级)Disadvantage：companies may suffer from those talents without enough practical abilities, while those candidates with strong practical abilities but poor qualifications may feel the practice unfair. (不公平)Solution: companies can further select talents by taking interviews, training and internships(实习) as well as set up exceptions (例外) for those talents with strong abilities and good personalities but poor qualifications, especially considering some very important positions.练习Many city governments are separating分离the cities into different areas, namely, commercial areas商业区, schools and universities, work places and factories. Do you believe the trend positive?首段：crowded拥挤；measure措施solutions解决；好处：be kept far from pollution, high levels of noise and temptations. (competition—development/ consumer convenient and more choices, superior services and reasonable prices)坏处: those who live far away from their shopping places or working places may feel the practice not good for their life and work.Solution: improve traffic system; apartment; nearby small scale shops to provide convenient way of shopping for citizens or students2. Some think humans can exploit animals for any purpose that they need, while others disagree. What is your opinion?改写：动物园zoos are cruel, so we should remove them. Do you agree? 动物实验wild life should be protected, and animal experiments should be banned. Do you agree?核心内容：how to use animals and protect animals reasonably?总观点：I cannot agree with this view completely.利用动物的支持观点：there are arguments in favor of the use of animals by humans. First, humans have to use animals for their own subsistence or better living conditions, for example, raising pigs for pork, chicks for eggs and sheep for furs. Moreover, lab animals can be used to bring us technological breakthroughs, especially in terms of medicines and space trips. Finally, sometime the use of animals can be advantageous to both humans and the animals. For instance, zoos are places where citizens can have funs while animals get free lunches and necessary protection, especially for those species whose natural habitats have disappeared or been damaged.反对利用动物观点：on the other hand, there are views supporting the banning of animal use. First, some people think the use is cruel, especially according to those animal rights protectionists who believe animals should have equal rights as men do. In addition, the abuse of animals, especially the wild animals or even those at the edge/brink边缘of extinction灭绝, can cause the damage to ecological balance and threaten the subsistence of humans themselves. Last but not the least, sometimes the improper use of animals can immediately cause epidemics.总结：we should use those animals which have strong reproduction abilities orare human raised, for example, pigs and lab rats. However, wild animals, especially those at the brink of extinction should be protected by taking some measures such as legislation, establishing/setting up建立natural reserves自然保护区and helping animals reproduce artificially人工地（by man efforts）.9 The range of technology available for individuals will increase the gap of rich and poor. To what extent do you agree or disagree?核心内容是:是否科技使所有人受益：airplane；CT-communication technology; office equipments—workers引入观点：I cannot agree with the view completely.Proponents: 1. immediately； 2. frequently频繁的choose to use the technologyOpponents：1. indirectly; 2. technological products are increasingly popular, with the development and the cost reduction.Conclusion: whether the technology, …, can bring benefits to more people depends on how it is used, but generally the development can bring benefits to all humans and the society.建议练习：the development of airplanes can only bring benefits to the rich people. Do you agree?教育类4. University students should only study one specialist（专业的）subject. Others think the universities should encourage（鼓励）the students to learn a range of subjects in addition to a specialist area. Give your opinion思路分析：考核‘科目的意义’，以下3个方面是核心考虑点1. students’ interests and personalities2. the requirement of specific courses3. the demands of society本题提纲手段：recently, there is a discussion about what subjects students should betaught. One view believes that … while the other side insists that …. I tend to agree with the latter view.中间1：Surely, to study one specialist subject is necessary for any student, mainly because the study of professional knowledge and skills is very important for students’future jobs. Moreover, some students like to study a small range of subjects and become top researchers, especially in the fields of top technology studies. However, it is unlikely or improper (不恰当) to only study one specialist subject, considering the development of individuals and the demands of society.中间2：It is very important that to study a range of subject in addition to specialist area can help individuals widen their interests and horizons (the ranges of knowledge), which can be good to their mental health, social activities and the study of professional courses. In addition, this practice can help to develop large numbers of talents with diverse abilities (versatile abilities 多样化的能力), who tend to be more popular（往往更受欢迎）in modern society among employers and bosses.结论：Therefore, to study a wide range of subject other than professional courses should be encouraged among modern students, but it is not impossible that a few individuals in some areas of top studies only spend time on a few specialist subjects.13. Some people believe that a country can benefit a lot from university education, others believe that sending a large percentage of young students to go to university is the way leading to unemployment. Discuss.首段：Recently there is a discussion about the relationship between university education and employment. One view believes that …while the other side insists that …. I tend to agree with the former view.中间1：there are many benefits of university education for the development of countries. The most important one is that university education provide professional talents for the countries as well as help improve the public levels of literacy (文化) and knowledge and ethics (道德). Moreover, young people can find the majors of their interests by taking university education, and finallyfind jobs or create their own businesses by using the knowledge they study in universities.中间2：however, unfortunately /unluckily there are more and more young people who cannot find suitable or ideal jobs after graduating from universities, so some doubt that sending many young people to university education is leading to unemployment. Nevertheless, such views (这样类似的观点) tend to ignore the fact that unemployment is a complex issue, which is often caused by many factors other than improper education systems, for example, huge population, bad policies or even economic crisis.结论：Therefore, the university education should generally be supported, but education systems should be improved constantly while/and governments should take measures to provide large numbers of and sustainable持续的job opportunities.犯罪类15. Some people think a long-term imprisonment should act as punishment, but others think there are some alternative ways like community service. Discuss and give your opinion.题目核心：罪犯的惩罚方式和如何减少犯罪率Recently there is a discussion about how to punish criminals and reduce crime rate. One view believes that … while the other side insists that …. I believe that the two ways have their own advantages in different situations.中间1：Long-term imprisonments should be used when we consider those criminals whose acts have caused serious damage to others or society, for example, murderers (谋杀范) and rapists. Moreover, imprisonments can give justice (公正) to those victims as well as make up a deterring effect on society. However, those released from prisons are very likely to commit crimes again, because they often find it hard to find jobs after prison time.中间2：so, some people suggest that some alternative ways like education, training and community service should be taken/introduced. These ways can be good to some law violators, such as teenagers or those who acts have caused little damage. More importantly, education and training can help those released from prisons correct their errors and start new life by finding decent（正当的）jobs. However, prisons are necessary, obviously/clearly. Otherwise, some really bad persons may believe that they do not have to be responsible for what they do wrong.结论：Therefore, the true way is to make reasonable choices according to specific crimes, and most prisoners can be educated and trained during the prison time.16. Recent statistics show that the crimes committed by the young people in the major city of the world are on the increase. Give your analysis of the reasons and the solutions核心问题：青少年问题Disadvantages: Above all, the practice by no means can be beneficial to the development of the young people involved(涉及到的) and their families. Furthermore, this issue is of social significance, because the young people today are supposed to be the creators of human s’ tomorrow. (the tomorrow of human society)Reasons: In order to find effective solutions to the problems, it is necessary to understand what has caused the situation. First of all, young people are at the ages when they tend to lack judgment and self-control. Based on that condition, three main reasons may cause juvenile crimes. (crimes by teenagers and young people)One main reason lies with family problems, such as, home violence and bad education. Another is that many schools and universities focus on developing students’ academic abilities but ignore their mental health or ethic education.Finally,today we are living and studying with more temptations/distractions, especially from media programs and online games.Solutions: According to the reasons in discussion, I would raise the following solutions. To begin with, I believe the problems about young people’s growth should be solved by mainly considering outside factors. Considering family problems, media should help parents to educate their children in good ways while governments should make laws protect youths’ growth even in families.Speaking of campus education, schools should develop students’ interests and encourage them to take activities like sports, arts and social activities, which help students to have positive life values and good mental attitudes. Thinking of the temptations from the outside world, relevant authorities and social organizations should give more supervision.Expectations：In conclusion, there is no simple solution to the issue, but the problems could be eventually最终solved or at least slowed down, as long as my solutions were properly taken.国际类17. Rich countries often give financial aid to poor countries, but it does not solve the poverty, so rich countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than而不是the financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?核心：how to help the poor countries. + what advantages but what are the risks （风险）of only giving financial aid?1. I cannot agree with this view completely.2. To only give financial aid is not an effective way to solve the poverty. There are two main risks. One is that poor countries may become over dependent on(依赖)the aid but find it hard to develop independently. The other risk can be that the money would not be spent in solving poverty but corrupted被贪污by some bad government officials. However, this does not mean that financial aid cannot have benefits.3. Financial aid can be necessary and beneficial in some ways. First, the money can be used to solve some very important problems and meet people’s primary demands for food, medicines or simple shelters/covers. Moreover, the money is good to the long-term development, for example, setting up more schools and providing social welfare. (福利)4. So, the issue should be how to avoid the risks in discussion. First and foremost(最重要), in order to help the poor countries to develop independentlyfor long time, developed countries and relevant international organizations should give some advice and training and technological support. Considering corruption, there should be stronger supervision and management on how the money should be used.5. Therefore, financial aid is necessary for poor countries to solve poverty, but other types of aid such as personnel, technologies and supervision should be also given.18. Individuals and countries can not help everyone who needs help in the world, so we should be only concerned about our own communities and countries. Agree or Disagree?核心：why relationships are important to people?/countries?1. I cannot agree with this view completely.2. Indeed, it is not likely that individuals and countries have the ability to help all who need help around the world. For example, if a person gives aid to all who are in financial difficulties, he or she may put himself or herself in difficulty/trouble. Moreover, a country has full reasons to focus most power on developing its own economies and social welfare. However, this does not mean that we should only be concerned about our own communities and countries.3. there are three main reasons for us to care about other communities and countries. First, we are living in a world of globalization, where all countries are often connected by common problems such as economic crisis, global warming and the broken nuclear power stations of Japan (可替换wars). These problems cannot be solved until all countries work together. Secondly, countries have common benefits to seek for/go after, especially considering international trade and technological development. Finally, it is in human nature to help those in need, especially when we think about those victims (受害者) of natural disasters, even at the other side of the globe.4. Therefore, it is nothing to be blamed for individuals or countries to focus their energy on their own development, but considering international situations and humanity, it should be encouraged to care about others communities and countries.社会问题类23. Nowadays some people like to give or provide help to people in need in local community directly, while others prefer to give money to the national or international organization. Discuss both views and give your opinion.I believe the two ways of helping those in need are both acceptable and have their respective advantages as well as limitations.There are advantages to giving help to those in need in local communities directly. First, the help is immediate. For example, those old people or disabled people who live alone can be taken good care of. Moreover, the experience is often valuable to those who give help, which can be good to their future development. However, some individuals such as busy workers and/or disabled people can find it hard to do that.On the other hand, there are also benefits to give money to the organizations. First and foremost, the aid can cover more people in need, especially considering those victims of natural disasters or special people like AIDS patients. In addition, individuals can give such aid with little limitation of time and places by using the Internet. However, it is likely that the money given can be corrupted by bad officials.Therefore, individuals can make their own choices by considering their working conditions and the purpose of the aid.

2010年雅思口语考试回顾与 2011年预测在 2010年即将成为历史的时刻, 北京新东方 VIP 中心雅思口语名师邀您一起“ 温故而知新” 。

回首 2010——周期变化回顾 2010年的雅思口语考试,依然是时而风云变幻,时而风平浪静。

在今年的四月、九月的变题革命中, 相信有不少可怜的烤鸭都被突如其来的新题搞得措手不及。

每一年, 雅思口语考试都会有一些周期性的变化, 小变化为 4个月一变, 大变化经常出现在每年的四月和九月。

而每次在大变化之后的几个月里, 题目就都会相对的固定,不会有太多变动。

今年也是如此,在四月出现了不少新题,而从五六月开始, 一直到八月, 题目都相对稳定。

直到九月, 又出现了一次大的变动, 出现了很多新题, 但是十月到十二月就一直风平浪静。

所以十二月的最后一场考试, 被很多老师和烤鸭们看作是本年度最简单的一场考试, 因为题目几乎全部都是最近考过的。

展望 2011——变题迫在眉睫对于准备 2011年初考试的烤鸭们,一月份的考试是一个小考验,因为圣诞长假过后, 又是一个四个月周期的开始, 一月份很有可能会出现少量新题。

但是烤鸭们可以放心的是, 即使是出现新题, 也不会一下子全部变成新的, 而只是少量。

因此,对于备战明年年初的考试,把年底的题目准备好是非常重要的一步。

第一部分:变化不多,难度不大口语第一部分的变化, 革新会更多体现在喜好与个人习惯的问题上, 比如说喜不喜欢读书啊,去不去博物馆啊,喜不喜欢购物啊,有很多内容还是 2010年末的,也会出现一些新的话题。

但是学习、工作还有家乡这些个“ 四季常青” 的场景话题肯定是会考到的, 所以烤鸭们应该把这些场景都好好练熟! 对于那些会创新的喜好和个人习惯题,则可以用咱们雅思 VIP 课上所讲的方法来应对,应该难度都不大!第二部分:部分新题,大同小异口语第二部分, 则是每一场考试的热门, 也是最有可能发生变化的地方。

一些已经考了无数次的老题也许会退出历史舞台, 或者说不再那么高频地出现, 比如modern building、 traditional story、 a wild animal等等。
