经历过雅思考试的童鞋，口语部分肯定是令大家最头疼的部分。根据2017年雅思白皮书的报告：

　　中国大陆地区雅思考生在2012年-2016年的5年间虽在各项英语技能上均有小幅提升。但是我们可以看到：

　　学术类考生听力成绩提升较明显(提升了一个分数梯队)，而口语成绩提升最小;培训类考生的写作成绩提升了一个分数梯队，但口语成绩不升反降。在四门科目中，口语成为了考生最薄弱的部分。

　　可能你会说，在雅思口语备考的过程中，自己也试了很多办法，跟读、和同伴英语交流、听地道音频，自己练习并录音…但是即使这样，和雅思口语考官面对面交流时，自己依然一脸懵圈。

　　启德考培小编现在决定给我们介绍一个新方法

　　听雅思口语考官独家音频

　　为了帮助大家应对新一季的雅思换题，启德考培特邀雅思考官，亲自录制9到12月雅思口语所有问题的答案，并撰写参考答案文本。音频中主要包括事件类、人物类、地点类、物品类四大话题、12个高频考点。

　　下面我们来为大家带来第一个高频考点：A new language。

　　Talk about a new language you would like to learn.

　　You should say:

　　what it is and how you plan to learn it

　　where it is spoken

　　how it will help you

　　This summer I went to Japan so I would like to learn Japanese. The reason for this is that I really love watching anime movies and reading manga comics. I would love to be able to read them in Japanese and not have to bother with the Chinese translations. In fact, I am seriously considering applying to a Japanese university to study the language there.

　　As yet, I do not have any useful ideas about the academic system in Japan or of the university course that I could apply for. So maybe my idea is just a pipe dream. But I have downloaded some language apps onto my phone and have started to learn some basic words. Actually I was quite surprised to find that I recognised a lot of the Japanese characters. They are called kana or kanji, I think, and are actually simplified Chinese characters used as a phonetic script.

　　That was sort of mind-blowing for me because I had never thought about it before. But of course, if I had paid attention to history I would know that the history of China and Japan have been intermingled for centuries. Once I had found that out I found that I could increase my Japanese vocabulary a little bit,step by step. Of course, I am also learning English which is at the forefront of my studies. So I cannot allocate too much time to learning Japanese.

　　Nevertheless, I will still continue to be fascinated by Japanese culture, some of it is so weird I can’t understand where they are coming from, which is why I want to learn the language to try to get inside their heads. Walking around the streets of Tokyo and Osaka was amazing and I felt right at home there, so maybe I have someaffinity with the country. I came back from Japan with a suitcase full of comics and videos so when I have some time on my hands I can settle down and try to make sense of them. Who knows, maybe one day, I will become good enough to go to university there. Of course, I’ll probably have to convince my mum that it’s a great idea and that will be my hardest test.
