雅思考官：口語高分要“與眾不同”

　　考官每個周末要考30 位考生，其中85%90%的考生年齡都在1825 歲之間。這意味著考官會不斷見到生活和學習經歷類似的考生。也就是說，你必須要更加努力才能脫穎而出，才能與眾不同。

　　你在很多方面都可以與眾不同你的穿著打扮、心情和態度等。但請記住，這是場語言考試。所以最重要的是你要在語言能力和想法上表現得與眾不同，甚至是你對話題的解讀要與眾不同。

　　下面我們來看一個第二部分的考生范例，該話題的題目是：A Friend of Yours，話題卡上的描述是：You should say who this friend is, how you met, what you do together and why this friend is important to you.

　　該考生在卡片上寫下了下面三個詞：

　　Macy

　　not aggressive

　　trust

　　Actually, the friend I want to talk about is a sheep, called Macy. Not a real sheep, shes a toy, a fluffy toy, you know, about this big. Macy and I met about two years ago, in a shop, the day I broke up with my boyfriend. So I bought her She was so cute, and I needed somebody to talk to, somebody soft, somebody I could trust. So Macy entered my life yay! Actually, I call her Macy. Its her English name, cos at that time I had just started studying fashion and I really admired a designer from South China called Ma Ke. It sounds a bit like Macy.

　　What do we do together? We just hang out, especially in the evening. We listen to music together. I tell her about what happened to me during the day. I tell her my secrets, and she listens. Shes a great listener, you know, and sometimes I put my head on her, like a pillow, and shes very soft and warm and she never complains. Not like my ex-boyfriend! Macy is much more patient and mature!

　　Yeah, Macy is really important to me I remember one time, when I was visiting my aunt in Wuxi, I left her behind when I took the train back to Shanghai. I really missed her! I had to call my aunt, and wait a week before my uncle came to Shanghai and gave her back. Ummm, also Macy is very fashionable. You know, shes a Yang, like people born in the Year of the Sheep, so that means shes quiet, and elegant, and also Yang people try very hard not to youre your feelings. Just like me, they need to feel loved and protected! Theyre maybe not very good about big decisions not about love anyway but actually deep down they are very passionate!
