2014年9月雅思口语新题解析：一个好的习惯

　　9月是雅思换题月。雅思口语考题会有相应的变化，并有许多新题注入新一轮的考试中，大约会出现30%的新题。下面跟着在线雅思频道的小编来看看一下对于新出现雅思口语话题：一个好的习惯。

　　Describe a good habit you want to develop.

　　You should say:

　　what good habit it is

　　how you can develop the habit

　　how difficult you think it is

　　and explain why you think this is a good habit.

　　解析：

　　在教授雅思口语的过程中，我反复向学生强调，当见到一个新题时，可以先回顾一下曾经准备过的题目，看看有没有和这个新题类似的。如果类似，你可以将旧题的主体保持不变，其他细节稍作改动。这样不仅节省时间，也可以达到事半功倍的效果。此题作为事件类题目，在过去的许多老题中都能找到它的影子，比如Part 1中的‘时间管理题’，‘准时题’‘运动题’和‘旅游题’等，都可以当作好的习惯;Part 2事件类题目中‘你的一次积极地改变(a positive change in your life)’和‘一次重要的决定(an important decision you made)’，都可以和这次的‘好习惯’联系起来。

　　从这道题的要求看，第一问考生应直接回答这个习惯是什么;第二问需要考生阐述如何养成这种好习惯，比如你想养成‘跑步’的好习惯，那么你会要求自己每天早上跑步一小时，或者每天晚上来个长跑等等(笔者在英国留学时，半夜从图书馆回家的路上经常看到三五个人在大街上jogging);第三问要求考生描述养成这种习惯的难度，即你会遇到什么样的困难或者阻力，比如设备问题，毅力问题，精力问题等等;第四问相对来说比较好回答，在Part1的许多题目中都要求说其好处，比如读书，收藏，运动等等，考生可以直接套用。接下来，我以‘读书’这个好习惯，和大家探讨一下这道题目的答题思路。

　　范文：

　　These days, I am thinking of developing a reading habit(开头句直接回答第一问). When I was a child, my parents bought me a number of books, on art, literature and history. At that time, I used to read books for 3 to 4 hours a day. But now, I rarely read extra books after school, even on holidays (稍作展开，描述养成这种习惯的背景).

　　To develop this habit, I am determined to spend 2 hours on reading extra books every day and make some notes on what I have read(一句话概括如何养成这种习惯). However, it’s somewhat difficult for me to insist on reading books every day. For one thing, I need to spend hours finishing my homework and preparing for my IELTS. Meanwhile, I hold the post of the leader in School English Club. Sometimes we need to organize different events or invite renowned scholars to make a lecture. Both the academic pressure and school work exhaust me. I am as busy as bees, having no mood to read even one page of extra book(两个例子阐述养成这个习惯的困难度).

　　Despite of this, I am conscious that I have to manage my time by myself, and become more motivated on reading. The Chinese ancients once said, ‘Good books are just like medicines, purifying our soul and smoothing our heart.’ I hope I can develop this good habit and enjoy the happy moments that reading once provided me(借用谚语，说明这个习惯的重要性).
