字號(hào):

--劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)者吳慧冬和劍橋考試委員會(huì)聯(lián)合透析
    雅思口語教學(xué)一直是我的主業(yè),在08到09年間我教出了2個(gè)全國口語第一名成績,一個(gè)8分一個(gè)8.5分,2位同學(xué)考上劍橋大學(xué),3位考上牛津大學(xué),還有很多同學(xué)通過優(yōu)秀的口語成績拉平均分后總分上6.5獲得OFFER,這也是為何劍橋會(huì)邀請(qǐng)我去訪問,在我英國4個(gè)月的訪問中,收到無數(shù)烤鴨們和同行們的來信希望我能像10多年前胡敏老師那樣獲得權(quán)威雅思資料幫助國人提高真正的英語水平,當(dāng)年胡老師開拓了歷史,讓國人第接觸雅思考試。10多年后的今天我作為訪問學(xué)者來到劍橋,在劍橋大學(xué)Leslie副校長的引薦下,我有幸和劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會(huì)全球運(yùn)營總監(jiān)和雅思課題經(jīng)理Dr. Rod以及幾位考試委員會(huì)的老師們結(jié)緣, 一同探討劍七和2010年雅思考試新的改革趨勢等熱點(diǎn)問題并且獲取了2010年新的考試趨勢和內(nèi)部資料,并借此機(jī)會(huì)和他們近距離的交流了我的多年來關(guān)于雅思教學(xué)方法的一點(diǎn)研究心得;“TSE和3D雅思口語快速突破法”“雅思口語和作文筆記法”等。從劍橋考試中心獲得內(nèi)部資料包括聽說讀寫中,研究發(fā)現(xiàn)新的2010年考題量大,有變化,變化不在于難度,在于形式,一位劍橋大學(xué)考試中心的老師在會(huì)上跟我表明中國學(xué)生太會(huì)背題,1加1等于2都知道,當(dāng)我們把題目變成2減1的時(shí)候,部分學(xué)生就可能不知所云。不斷的多樣化才可以選拔出綜合能力的人才。盡管這樣,我花了一個(gè)多月的時(shí)候整理了聽,說,讀,寫四個(gè)題庫,口語話題有規(guī)律,聽力場景有規(guī)律,閱讀題型有規(guī)律,寫作話題有規(guī)律,而我已經(jīng)把這些規(guī)律和重點(diǎn)考題找出來,由于資料太多,篇幅有限,我會(huì)分多次與同學(xué)們分享,希望同學(xué)們按照我在課上所講過的TSE方法一一攻破,并且參考我馬上發(fā)布的劍橋考試中心老師和我一同撰寫的參考答案,那就Impossible is nothing. 非常感謝劍橋考試委員會(huì)老師們提供的資料和幫助。
    很多同學(xué)在各大網(wǎng)上直接或間接地都看過我的預(yù)測以及記得我的I+F=HAPPY原則,5大答題公式以及10大社會(huì)問題,運(yùn)用3D和TSE學(xué)習(xí)法,以點(diǎn)帶面,以詞帶句,相信把下面的考題在短時(shí)間里準(zhǔn)備完是很簡單的事。3D學(xué)習(xí)法(Dialogue, Description and Discuss),技巧:TSE(Topic , supporting ideas and example)很多雅思考生在考試前狂背范文,背了40篇,考試緊張過度,忘記了39篇,只剩下第一篇能記住,后沒法取得高分,而且語言不是背出來的,要運(yùn)用想象力對(duì)其變化.
    Part1:2010年的口語考試必考考題(下面的不是題庫,是變形后的重點(diǎn)考題,也就是說你只需要準(zhǔn)備這些題,在2010年的1月到3月,不會(huì)有多大出入,1,3,6,9,12,每三個(gè)月的月初或前一個(gè)月的后考試,都會(huì)有加入新的題目加入或變形,我會(huì)提前通知同學(xué)們什么時(shí)候會(huì)考新題目)
    2010年口語第一部分必考考題:(詳細(xì)的解題技巧會(huì)在這幾天發(fā)布)
    Hometown /home/college/accommodation / Old thing/visitors (斜杠是代表從一個(gè)主題派生出來的分支,通過故事鏈來學(xué)習(xí)聯(lián)系:例如我的“家鄉(xiāng)”是北京,我的“家”在“海淀區(qū)”,“學(xué)?!本驮谖壹遗赃?,我特別喜歡我學(xué)校的寢室或我家的臥室或陽臺(tái),因?yàn)槟抢镉行芭f的東西我很懷戀”,很多“朋友”經(jīng)常來拜訪我。)

    Part2 :第二部分考試是重要,因?yàn)樗某煽冎苯佑绊懙侥愕牡谌糠?,如果你答的好,PART THREE問的問題就會(huì)少,反之,考官除了會(huì)問他準(zhǔn)備好的問題外,還會(huì)問考生在第二部分所講過的但他聽不太明白的地方,我培訓(xùn)過很多高分學(xué)員甚至全國第一名8.5分胡婷婷同學(xué)中,都能夠在不被考官打斷的情況下,1分鐘內(nèi)把話題用TSE講完,part three考官只問了兩到三個(gè)問題。話題總的原則是“人,物,地,事,媒”,只要同學(xué)們按照我的課堂講過的TSE方法以及公式去準(zhǔn)備5篇范文,大部分話題都可以套。

    附上1月全國雅思口語考試必考考題和參考答案:請(qǐng)同學(xué)們務(wù)必把這兩道題準(zhǔn)備好,運(yùn)用TSE和3D學(xué)習(xí)法。
    An Important Letter You Wrote
    You should say
    who you wrote to
    when you wrote it
    what you wrote
    and explain why you wanted to write to this person.
    or
    and explain why you wrote that letter.
    I wrote an extremely important letter last year when I was a junior in the college. You can even say it has kind of changed my life. Like many other students, I was a little bit confused about my future at that time. My major is Economics, but I am not really that interested in it. Instead, I like sociology very much. Suddenly it occurred to me that I still had a chance to go after my dream. So I entered the website of a famous University, and found the E-mail address of a professor in Sociology. To be frank, I had hesitated for a while, wondering whether I should write this letter. You know, maybe the professor would think I was unrealistic to make such a decision, or maybe there would be no reply at all. But you never know the result if you don’t try. So I drafted a pretty long letter, introducing myself and explaining my reasons to write the letter. I wrote it so carefully, hoping the professor could feel my sincerity and determination. But I really had no idea whether he would write to me or not. However, just 3 days later when I checked my mail-box, to my surprise, there was a letter from the professor. I held my breath and clicked it open. He gave me some practical suggestions on pursuing a higher degree in sociology. I still remember what he said to me in the end: “If this is really your dream, go for it!” Now I am on my way to realize my dream, and it all began from that important letter.
    Describe a traffic jam.
     You should say:
    when and where it happened
    where you were going at that time
    what form of transport you were using
    what you did while waiting / what you did about the situation
     and explain how you felt when you were in that traffic jam.
                or
     and explain what problems that traffic jam caused for you.
    I got stuck in a traffic jam two weeks ago on my way to see my friend. I was sitting on the bus when suddenly it stopped moving. I was on the second floor of the bus so I went to the front to see what was going on. To my surprise, there was a car in front of our bus on great fire! It must have happened a few minutes ago because our bus was right behind it and there were no police or firefighters yet. We were all worried about the driver, but later we found that he had already escaped off the car before all that happened. It was still a myth how the fire had begun. All the vehicles following us got stuck and there came the police and firefighters. They took out some pipes and poured water onto the burning car. Some passengers even took out their mobile phones or cameras. I also took some photos of it so that I could show them to my friend as an explanation of my being late. After all, it was not something usual right? 30 minutes later, the fire was put out and we were allowed to pass. It didn’t cause me too much trouble. Thank god there was nobody hurt in the accident.
