八月即将过半，也意味着变题季不远了。近期口语考试的题目趋势难度仍围绕5-8月题库来出，这季Part2人物类话题相对较多，所以很多本月考试的同学发现在P2被问到人物类话题的几率较高，事件类则紧随其后，这也在一定程度上反映出接下来口语换题的趋势，建议大家根据高频题库结合个人经历，认真准备。
【Part 1-3真题点评】
Part1: PART1除常规必考题 Work or study/Accommodation/Hometown以外，新题部分考频较高的有Social media、Perfume、Borrowing/Lending等，其实都比较贴近生活，备考时建议多结合自身经历及感受举出例子、拓展细节。另外建议在准备Part1的过程中，针对不同话题积累一些该领域的常用词汇，比如Social media话题中的“热搜”(trending)、“网红”(online influencer)等，提升表述精确度的同时展现出自己的语料专业性，Lexical resource部分的评分自然会上升。
Part 2: PART2高频话题除了本季题库中多的人物类话题以外，事件类话题也较为热门。事件类话题通常涵盖的内容较广，展开方式多样，细节添加甚至可结合人物地等话题要素一同描述，从而避免“无话可说”。需注意的是，高频的事件类话题可能涉及同学们的经历“盲区”，如“Describe a time the vehicle you were travelling in broke down. ” “Describe a time you received a call from somebody you don't know in the public.”等，建议提前思考，早做准备。
Part 3：PART3考察学生运用语言表达自己观点并进行论证的能力，也是整场口语考试反映学生真实语言水平及思辨能力的环节。这部分的备考关键在于平时多积累答题切入点及相应语料，再配合考场上遵循直陈观点 多方论证的答题结构，就能做到处变不惊轻松应对。
【SAMPLE ANSWER】
Describe a time the vehicle you were travelling in broke down.
You should say:
where you were going;
who you were with;
how long it took to fix the vehicle;
and explain how you felt about it.
展开全文思路这是一道经典的事件类话题的变体，要求考生来描述一次旅行途中乘坐的交通工具坏了的经历。部分同学可能觉得没有这种经历，对交通工具坏了的原因也非常陌生，不知如何开口。其实在这道题目的描述中，更应着眼于事情发生的过程，如花了多长时间修理，全程感受如何等，专业性的性能问题反而不是重点喔。同时比照本季其他与旅游相关的话题如“Describe a time you visited a place with friends.” “Describe an unusual vacation you had.”等，语料准备就更事半功倍啦。

【原创范例】
I got to thinking about an experience during my exchange semester in Melbourne. It was a road trip we planned for a long time, we rented an SUV from a travel agency in Melbourne city. We wanted to do some sightseeing in Tasmania before the semester ended, but we didn't have it inspected when we rented it.
Unluckily, the car overheated half way on the road and couldn’t run again. We felt desperate and did not know what to do, the only method we came up with that time was to call the car renting company.
At first the line was always busy, we waited for 5minutes and finally someone came onto the line. After asking what happened and what we needed from them, they sent two workers and a new car to us. It took them 4hours to get to the place where we were. Then we got a new car and the company took the old one away.
Though we haven’t expected that happen at the first place, the rest of the trip went extremely well and till now, it became our precious memory lifelong.
