2013年雅思考试趋势及2012口语预测

严佳

从2012年全年雅思几十场口语考试的题目汇总来看，口语考试内容涉及广泛，题材丰富，难度加大。但还是有其规律可循，不难发现今年雅思口语考试更加关注国外的文化包括饮食文化、礼仪文化及其历史文化等，当然中国特色的本土文也是考察的重点，考生需要对比中西方文化的差异，描述具有中国特色的人物、物品、地点及其事件。考生呈现的内容越有趣越容易获得考官青睐并获取高分。此外，“商业化”也是口语考试的一大趋势，考试范围涉及到考生的人生规划，商业规划和职业规划，从口语考试的整体来看，雅思口语考试是学生进入国外学习的一个桥梁也是一块垫脚石，给我们提供了更多国外生活的方方面面的信息。

以下是笔者总结的2012年最后一个月的考试预测，本月要考的同学可以根据预测来复习。
