这个话题卡原本就是在题库里存在的。2007年5月19日出现过一次，之后被淘汰，现在继续拿出来做新题，而且题目的要求一模一样。考生还是应按照地理位置-外观-感觉这样由浅入深的顺序进行描述。多说出一些考官希望听到的对家居、感觉等方面描述的词句。

范例答案：

An Ideal Home

① Speaking of the ideal home that I would like to live in... Err... It must be in suburban area, far away from the noise, hustle & bustle of the outside world.

② Flat, Terraced, Detached or Semi-detached, whatever type of house it would be as I don't really care. It must be spacious & bright, this is what I focus on. I hate being in a dark cramped room with a low ceiling, I will be hyperventilating.

③ I would love to decorate my house lovingly, as well as casual. I'd like to put lots of posters into a picture frame to hang on a wall, and I'd also like to put some hooks up and lay musical instruments across the hooks.

④ It'd be quiet, comfortable and private, like a cozy heaven. The blue walls make me think of the calming vast seas that relax me. The base boards and shutters are white which remind me of the pure white clouds in the sky. The white in my room helps me to have pure and clean thoughts. Soft muted colours of the walls and bright colors of the accents make me feel creative and safe. To live in such an ideal house, I feel totally relaxed.

雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导

本次考试难度已有所提升，新题的改动率较高，关于备考给考生们几点建议：

1. 任何考试，自信都是必要的，而微笑与从容永远都是信心的承载体；当然，说话声音的大小与清晰程度往往也起重要作用。

2. 雅思口语考试的关注点绝不是考生提供的信息内容，而是提供信息时所选用的形式，也就是词汇和句型。

3. 雅思口语考试的四点评分标准同等重要，考生千万不可顾此失彼，往往其中最弱的一项会决定你整个口语水平。

4. 发音是否标准决定着考官评判你英语水平起点的高低。

5. 词汇作为四大评分标准之一，并不是考察学生运用长难词汇的能力，而是对常用词汇的灵活把握。

6. 雅思口语中对语法，时态的把握尤其重要，不仅要求考生正确使用相应的时态形式，同时，时态的多样性也必须有所体现。

7. 流利程度并非一味强调语速，而是要尽可能的减少表述中不必要的停顿和重复。

8. 大多考生习惯用单词或者短语回答口语第一部分的问题。但切记，雅思是语言能力的考试，句子的完整性至关重要。

9. 一句话回答问题总显得单薄无力，也达不到交流的目的。所以，学会合理扩充答案便成了一种技巧。

10. 常见扩充答案的方法有三种：a. 给理由；b. 举例子；c. 做展望。
