序言

我在中国做雅思教师已有9年，做过无数国内外雅思考生的考官，十分清楚学生们在备考过程中面临的主要问题。本书的目的就在于帮助学生应对它们。本书第一部分概述了雅思口语考试对语法和表达的要求，另有3章提供话题和问题范例，以便进行灵活训练。 本书的第一版早在2004年9月就付梓印刷，之后很多学生告诉我他们希望雅思口语考试辅导用书提供参考答案。我听到这些话总是笑笑。那些需要依赖参考答案的学生不仅缺少雅思考试相关素材，也缺少对现代社会基本的思考。他们总是希望一切都已准备好，而不想用自己的头脑去主动解决困难。他们将来不会有很高的成就，因为成就高的人都希望依靠自己，而不是靠他人。 依靠参考答案并不明智，因为如果你照搬参考答案，很可能别人也在用，尤其是在中国，每年有超过10万的学生参加雅思考试，可能很多人都在照搬这个答案。考生不会因为记住答案而得高分，所以背诵答案实际上就是浪费时间。另外，参考答案可能是由很多不同的人编写的，这些答案之间没有关联，甚至自相矛盾，考官很容易就能听出破绽来。 那么这本书的不同之处，或者说优势在哪里呢？学生谈话需要内容，但是中国教育体制中不鼓励学生独立思考。因此本书每个部分、每个话题都包含一些问题，并附有回答问题时所依据的词汇、短语和范例。请记住，所列词汇、短语和范例不是仅有的用法，学生们可以运用自己学到的英语知识加以补充。 第二个问题是学生们不了解雅思口试每阶段的常见问题和话题类型，原因在于互联网和一些不负责任的雅思培训学校对考试信息的误传和误导。为此，本书列出了适合每个考试阶段的常见话题和问题。最主要的区别就是，口试第一和第二部分是把人作为个体来提问的，第三部分是把人作为普通大众或者社会人来提问的。 本书要解决的第三个问题是制定一个明确的备考计划。书中分别列出了1个月、2个月、3个月备考计划，以供学生和教师参考。迄今为止，5年已经过去，口试话题和问题都在增加。除非你已经达到或者非常接近自己想取得的成绩，否则一个月的复习计划已经不现实了。即便是两个月的复习计划也意味着任务很繁重。但是，对于那些明智的提早准备的考生，3个月的复习计划能让你轻松地获得你想要的分数。 学生们常常把事情拖到最后一刻才完成。那些能提前制定学习计划并执行的学生比没有计划的要好。如果每天不做各种各样的英语训练，要在不到3个月的时间里把英语提高一大步是不可能的。设计雅思考试的剑桥大学地方考试委员会认为，要提高一个分数级别需要在一个说英语的环境中花3个月的时间才有可能。恕我直言，中国学生那么注重英语和出国留学，而实际上却舍不得花时间理智地准备雅思考试，这一点我觉得有些不可思议。 在备考雅思过程中遇到问题时，学生们往往容易责备他人或抱怨自己条件太差。考试过后，学生们喜欢上网埋怨残酷的考官。但他们应该清楚，成绩的好坏最终在于自己。他们应该做的是走出去，接触社会，运用英语，而不是把自己的失败归因于周围的一切。如果你不想、不喜欢走出去运用英语，那么，很明显就需要重新考虑你的出国定居和留学计划了。
