你好，很高兴回答你的问题。雅思口语和写作一直以来是一个拦路虎，这里简单的分析下写作和口语怎么复习合适。首先要分析清楚话题，千万不能偏离中心，那样会造成大程度的失分。比如在写作中除了大家所熟悉的单边和双边的话题之外，最近也不断出现归谬类的话题，千万不能小视，此类话题极易出现审题错误，而导致严重中心偏离，而且此类话题有自己的章法，不可和其它类别一视同仁。
要注意中心用词，中心词组，和中心句子的积累。大家的感觉是在这两们的复习中就如大海捞针，没有头绪，无从下手，其实他们都话题都有类别，而在这一类别里的常用词又是有限的。很多学生的问题都在表达上，如果有了上述种种，最后就只是简单串连了。
结构必须清晰，老外写作其实比中国人还八股，尤其是学术类文章。这一点很多的写作老师都有所涉及，但在口语中往往不够重视，其实写作，口语至少有七分相似。尤其口语的入题不能太快，也要遵循逻辑，要有topic sentence 和 supporting ideas 和conclusion。除此，在写作中也有段落的拓展问题，很多学生无法有效论证自己段落的中心，而段落拓展有多种方式，如列举，对比，类比等等。
避免复习误区。千万不要去单纯背诵优秀范文甚至是名人明言。当然，如果这些东西用的得法的话是能提高分数的，可是也要提醒大家的是，不像中国式思维，用了一下老子的话就觉得博大精深，老外很多时候都把那叫做cliche ，他们在很大程度上是鼓励创新的。问题更大的是，这些东西一般学生是知其然，不知其所以然的，单纯搭起来会搭成个四不像，让人一眼看出背诵的痕迹，这是在这两们考试中最忌讳的，会造成分数的不升反降。
有效创新。对于程度好的学生来说有效创新可以起到夺人眼球的功效。比如入题方式可创新，ideas可以有新意，结尾可创新等。
如何有效表达句子。很多学生喜欢使用套句，说穿了就是写作模板，但是大多数烤鸭自己也很清楚这样拿不到好的分数，最后就放弃写作，口语，专攻听力阅读以求拉分。可是很多学校都有单项要求分。其实也没那么痛苦，套句是可以改的，在大家力所能及的基础上稍微改一下，大家都不同，那就不能叫套句了，而且还容易上手。

雅思总分7.5分，阅读9分高分心得

总的思路

对于准备任何一门外语考试，均可以从两个方面入手：词汇+真题；其中词汇的主要作用是为随后的做题提供扎实的基础，而真题则是钻研考试思路的全部依据。

我在苏州6月20日这次考试中的结果显示出了词汇上准备的不足，各分项分数如下：阅读9分，听力7.5分，写作6.5分，口语6分，在写作和口语上尤其突出。

词汇

对于愿意在雅思考试上追求高分，或者意在通过本次考试进一步提升自己英语水平的同学，扎实地记忆雅思词汇至关重要。

我们在背诵词汇时，往往感到枯燥无聊，很快就会怀疑背单词的到底有什么意义，于是乎就半途而废(难怪很多单词书的第一个单词是abandon)。现在看来，我的教训是要懂得坚持的可贵：当你坚持背到一本书三分之一的时候，其实大部分人都已经放弃了；而一旦你将整本词汇书掌握完毕后，7.5分以上的目标绝不会显得遥不可及。先说说词汇对各个分项的意义所在：

1.听力：

在第二和第三部分的填空题中，相当一部分的空需要填写的是雅思词汇，不去背诵单词书而仅仅凭之前的积累是不够的。6月20日雅思考试中：part 3考的香料的历史作用，其中说香料的功效之一是治愈关节炎(arthritis)，我抓住了发音，甚至知道是“关节炎”这个意思，由于词汇拼写记忆不牢，颇为抓狂。

2.写作：

有一项关于词汇丰富量的评分项(lexical resources)，雅思范文中基本上生词都是雅思词汇书中所包含的，因而如果对这些词汇不熟悉的话，枉谈熟练的使用。在了解词汇基本含义的基础上，通过阅读范文掌握在特定语境下的运用。

3.口语：

上同样和写作相同的道理，能够在和考官的交流中运用相对生僻而准确的词汇来表达准确的意思。比如说good一意在不同的语境下可以用competent, charming, harmonious, well-regulated等。

4.阅读：

阅读相对来讲受到词汇的影响较小，不理解的词汇有时不会影响对整体段落大意的理解，或者不一定被考到。但是如果一句话中出现某个高端的词汇描述了作者的态度，或者某个事物的性质，如果你不了解的话很可能就无法掌握作者的观点，在随后的判断题中就只能瞎蒙了。

真题

真题的作用就是将雅思考试的出题思路深刻的领悟，在掌握思路的情况下，没有任何必要看所谓的机经。所以做一遍真题肯定无法达到以上目的，最多只能够知道雅思考试的题型是什么样的。建议大家*两份真题(剑三到剑七)，用途如下：

剑三剑四：了解雅思题型特点，找回做英语题的感觉；具体来将就是第一遍做完所有试卷要把所有的题型熟悉，总结常错的地方，并有初步的思路如何应对它；第二遍再做的时候就是验证自己的应对思路，有不合适的地方重新改变思路，并在下一阶段再次验证和反思。

剑五剑六：剑五剑六的特点是题型更符合近年来的考试趋势，同时在难度上要比剑三剑四上一个层次；两本书的作用就在于形成自己的解题思路，这个阶段要给自己定下目标，我要在某个阶段结束前正确率达到什么水平，因而每次做完题目都要去反思，改正并在下一次做题时区参考上次犯的错误。

剑七：据说是最像现在考试的试卷，用于考前两周的模拟试题；可以结合原来总结的错误类型和思路来做，注意把握时间。

分项建议

阅读：

将每次做完一篇文章后当时不懂的句子划出来，在结束做题后仔细分析句式结构；通过积累一段时间后基本上能够做到凌波微步，不用因为看不懂某一句话停下来回读了；

听力：

1.快速预读的机制很关键，主要原则是在最短的时间内掌握最多有用的信息：

a.选择题，先掌握题干的动宾结构，随后去对比和比较各个选择支中相同和不同的成份，在听的过程中要注意把握说话者的观点；

b.填空题，把握前面和后面的动词和名词，一旦听到与之对应的同意转换，立刻将答案写上。

2.按照题目所给数字顺序做题：形成良好的做题节奏，根据节奏做完一题后一段时间没有听到下一题，将其果断放弃。

写作：

1.推荐顾家北的《雅思写作思路剖析》，将写作思路看完后，在随后的每个专题动手写一篇，其余的看一看积累素材和结构；

2.养成自己惯用的写作思路和句子，便于节省时间。本人在议论文常用开篇如下：The new era has witnessed the rise of …, there is no denying towards its significance of …, while it raises much concern as…. This essay aims to give an overview of the debatable issue by throwing light on both sides and offer some responsible solutions。

3.考前注意将大作文和小作文一起写，防止花时间太多在小作文上导致随后未完成任务。我在那场考试就是小作文过于精雕细琢，导致写大作文只有三十四分钟。

口语：

最大的教训是准备口语应该先准备回答问题的基本思路，而不是先准备回答问题的内容；例如：回答“How do you like transportations in your city?”，我们应该有逻辑结构的展开“To the best of my knowledge, the transportation is by no means….As can be mainly seen in the fact that…It also deserves mention that…”在掌握框架之后，再去向里面填充回答问题的具体内容。

今天环球青藤口语教研组刘伟楠l老师教你如何正确提高雅思口语流利度，希望能为雅思考生们带来帮助。
英语学习者们经常会有如何提高雅思口语的困扰，不管是以考雅思还是单纯的出国旅游为目的。作为学习者的我们也着实积地听取多方建议，我们听到的无非就是看美剧、报个班、自言自语或找老外。个人觉得后一个建议好像靠谱，毕竟有个native speaker来和你做即时的交流，我们的口语会进步得更快一些。
那么问题来了：如何找个老外和你聊天呢？当然大家可以选择去那种大型的英语口语培训机构像英孚或华尔街等等。但wait a sec，那里学习好像很贵哦。我们又不是土豪，那里来那么多的闲钱去学习啊！又或，我们找个老外当GF或BF吧。但似乎漂亮的妹纸这一项上比较有优势哦。我们的颜值似乎比我们的英语水平还要低，OMG！没办法，只能靠人格魅力了。
那么问题又来了：Do you know how to start a proper conversation with a Laowai?大家知道吗？是不是每次都不知道该问点什么？是不是每次和老外的对话总是戛然而止？是不是觉得老外好像不是很喜欢我，甚至于躲着我？
有以上问题的童鞋们请你们切记一点：你们在和老外对话时的不顺畅不一定完全是你英语水平和颜值不高的问题！接下来听环球青藤给大家一些在和老外对话时的一些小小的tips：
Dos:
1. Introduce yourself before asking about him orher.
大家需要记住你是要和老外交朋友的，不是调查户口的。所以不要先用一大堆问题对其进行轰炸，like what’s your name? Do you like Chinese food? What do you do? 等等。这样老外会觉得有很大的距离感，似乎又回到了课堂。
所以我们和老外聊天时，一开始就要表现出诚意，而诚意就是先把自己的一些基本信息全盘说出。举个例子：
Hi, my name is Sky, and I’m a student from China.
然后有好的伸出手。一般情况下，老外会和你握手并说出自己的名字或其它信息。
2. Show your confidence by making eye contact and a firm handshake. Be genuine.
其实我们在日常交流时，30%的信息传递是来自于肢体语言的。
而眼神的交流乃是non-verbal交流中的重中之重，对方不仅可以通过你的眼睛更好的理解你想传递的情感，更重要的是眼神交流显示出你的自信。大家都喜欢自信的人！另外在握手时，特别是同性之间，不要只把四个手指给对方，不真诚！把手掌也给ta。
在思维上也要表现真诚。当老外夸奖你时，按照英语的文化我们要对其表示感谢，而不是像中国那样胡乱的谦虚，like “Where? Where?” (哪里哪里)，当然这是个玩笑，哈哈。
举个例子：
Laowai: Hey, your English is good!
Not-so-good answer:No, my English is poor. Don’t joke with me.
Better answer: Thanks for saying that. I’m still trying to get better at it.
3. Treat them like friends, not teachers.
很多英语学习者看到了老外的个反应就是：Ta是我老师。Again，如果你当ta是老师就会有距离感，不利于交流。所以话题不要只局限于如何更好的学英语上。我们可以选择说一些比较令对方都感兴趣的话题，如运动、购物、泡吧等等。不要担心自己的词汇量不够，即使说不明白，老外也可以帮助你表达。学英语于无形！
另外，朋友之间是平等的，我们也不应该因为英语不好就自降身份，以一种近乎低人一等的姿态去谈话。像一个朋友一样表现出关心和关注。记住：老外们只是英语比我们好，这并不代表他们在为人处事或教育背景上都高人一等。
Wrong attitude: Yeah. Yeah.Yeah. Yeah...... (你不是在拍毛片)
Right attitude：Well, I’m not so sure about that. Maybe, we should......(提出自己的看法)
4. Listen before you talk. Be relevant.
上帝给了我们两只耳朵一张嘴，因为他老人家希望我们多听少说。这么浅显的道理其实被很多英语学习者所忽略，他们太急于表现自己的英文水平，而忘记了一个重要的事实：交流是双向的。Laowais don’t get paid to listen to your English! 也就是说，我们要认真倾听对方的话，并作出适当的回应。当你认真倾听了别人的倾诉，别人才会在乎你在说什么。当你在和老外交流时发现突然话题进行不下去的时候，你也许该好好的检讨自己了，你是不是只忙于表达你自己，而忘记了对方也有自己的东西需要被倾听呢？
No communication：My name is Gary, and I like video games. I always play PS4 on weekends. You know, my favorite games are......
Communicating: My name is Gary, and I like video games. What about you? Oh, you like God Of War? But I think Call Of Duty is a better game. Don’t you think so?
5. Learn about their culture and introduce yours to them.
人生莫大的悲哀莫过于没人懂自己，老外也是人啊！所以我们在交谈时也可以适时地试图去了解他们的文化和习俗。大家既可以在网上查找相关信息，也可以把了解对方文化作为谈话的好题目。所以大家可以问一些文化方面的问题，like why do you celebrate Christmas? What do you usually do on Christmas Eve? Are teenagers in your country forbidden from having arelationship at school? Do men in your country have to carry their girlfriends‘purses in order to show how much they love their girls? 等等。当然接下来我们也可以介绍一下我们的文化对待以上几个问题的态度。
