8月16日
雅思考试，预测中大作文Given detailed descriptions of crime by newspaper and television, someone says it could make bad consequence, this kind of media should be restricted .To what extant do you agree or not agree? 讨论应不应该限制在报纸和电视以及媒体上播放关于犯罪的细节新闻。听力两旧两新，难度适中简单在预测中，而且部分口语考试话题也预测中。
近期总体雅思考试趋势
8月16日，8月8日和7月份的雅思考试总体上难度适中，一直是沿用或改造以前考过的题目，感觉传统，熟悉，较多旧题，这种情况估计会持续到机考前后一段时间-因为考官无暇两边都顾及。尤其是听力，考生普遍反应适中或比剑桥简单，其中8月16日两旧两新，8月9日两旧两新，7.5/12三旧一新，7.26三新一旧，传统，旧题多，比较简单，这种情况估计还会继续。但是根据无数考生的
经验教训，听力机经不值得去背，因为考试时根本难回忆起来，跟不上节奏，反而会影响听力效果，所以只需根据预测看看了解听力背景和记忆好里面的单词（注意拼写）。8月份开始实行口语评分标准之一的
调整---语音语调方面增加细则,考生需要加强这方面的训练，每天坚持跟读模仿VOA SPECIAL,BBC或剑桥听力。阅读一直以来就有一个逐渐盘旋加大的趋势，尤其是今年比较明显，7月份和8月9日的阅读适中或稍难些，8.16阅读适中，8。21会继续这种情况。虽然考生经常在阅读方面叫难，但是阅读考出来的成绩往往却是各项中最好的，所以大家要有信心，一方面要加大阅读量，另外一方面加强雅思文章的熟悉和解题
技巧的熟练掌握，坚持每天精读一篇，泛读或做一套的习惯，同时在做完题目后要进行专项总结和归纳。8月21日阅读的题型重点排列如下T/F/NG, match （专家讲话配对是重点之重点），List of Headings(或段落/信息配对), Summary，建议大家把剑桥1-6的这些题型按照专项总结复习，归纳
技巧和突破口。不管考试难易，评分标准是弹性的和公平的，假如阅读难考，那么可能做对23个是6分，假如阅读简单，那么做对25个才得6分，所以考生要有良好的心理素质，尽力而为。总之，8.21的考试估计会继续8.16（总体难度适中或简单）的情况，有关于预测中提到的一些问题和资料，大家可以到我博客
http://blog.sina.com.cn/yeyibin2008或QQ：26346059空间的雅思考试资料库上查找。
听力预测：8.21听力应该是三旧一新或4旧,难度适中或简单，填空题目估计会比较多，因为8.16听力很多单选题。考生要很重视填空中的单词拼写,名词单复数和大小写问题,不要空欢喜听得懂,写出来确都是错的,非常多考生已经倒在这上面了,大家可以参看预测里面的版本号看听力机经,主要是看听力背景和反复记忆拼写单词,主要时间还是花在反复精听，听写剑桥1-6,大声跟读复叙听力原文,既练听力又提高口语或练黑眼精听力模拟题目。

阅读预测
回顾8月16日的阅读，T/F/NG是非判断题型考了15题，
选择题型考了13题，难度跟剑桥5-6差不多或略低，估计是两个月来最简单的。这跟8月9日，7月5日中的阅读考试没有T/F/NG是非判断型的情况形成鲜明的对比, 所以那种“T/F/NG是非判断题型成为历史”的说法是错误的。8.21考试建议大家把剑桥4-6上面提到的重点题型集中在一起专项复习,如T/F/NG, Match （专家讲话配对是重点之重点，看题的时候应该把专家名字圈出来然后他说的话也圈出来，这样做题和检查的时候一目了然），List of Headings(或段落/信息配对), Summary。考前做题一定要掐时间，把阅读速度和质量进行磨合（雅思考试中阅读和写作经常有相当一部分考生没做完），可以使用叶老师课堂讲过的平行做题法，平行读透和归纳关键词一样的题目，有目的地阅读，没有用的段落不用去读或迅速浏览就可以了，重点精读跟题目有关的句子段落，以此来保证做题质量和速度。在平常的阅读训练中培养叶老师课堂强调的雅思阅读三大品质-confidence, carefulness, patience。同时参考复习课堂讲义中的题型解题技巧,注意出题特点--同义转达,句型替换,语法替换和考点不考面的规律。坚持句子对句子，词对词，点对点的做题方法，保证每个题目的证据定位；精读对照并验证题目和原文的替换和转化。另外大家要坚持每天精读一篇剑桥(剑桥5-6)+做题(剑桥5-6)或泛读2-3篇文章(雅思阅读真经2,3)或一些英文报刊杂志:如cnn,bbc,
www.nature.com,
www.scientist.com,
www.nationalgeograpgic.com,国际先驱导报等科技,经济等新闻,现在考试的三篇文章都是这样的题材。事实证明，经常阅读英文网站报刊，到大海中游泳的人，到了雅思这种池塘考试就会觉得很轻松。我很多阅读高分
学生的有这样的体会：考试的三篇文章很面熟，在平时每天阅览的英文网站报刊看过。确实，阅读考试几个月来新文章考得多，旧文章少考，阅读的预测意义不大，真正有用的是阅读能力和解题思路技巧。词汇严重不足的同学可以在阅读中积累记忆。基础词汇主要是掌握剑桥1-6题目中的同义替换词，一词多义，考点词，同时要重视加强常见单词的听写，以防听力的填空和写作中单词拼写出问题。

写作预测 经常发现考试时考生作文题目看错，看不懂，或单词误解，造成离题，偏题现象，比如8月9日考试时，A类大作文是In some countries ,governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move out of large cities and into regional areas ,do you think advantages of this development outweigh its disadvantages. Give reasons for you answer and include examples from your knowledge or experiences。有的考生就把regional areas 看成religious areas，有的考生都不知道outweigh的意思。所以建议考生在考前要熟悉常考的作文题目，选择5-10篇代表社会，教育，文化，科技，艺术等的题目写一写，请人批改，再读范文提高。可以看写作机经和里面范文，但是如果你想考到6.5以上，考前绝对少不了自己写10篇。 可注意一下国际国内热点话题例如教育，奥运，环保，和平，能源危机，国际合作，社会经济生活，还要注意一下图表题，流程图。G类小作文为各种书信，大家各准备一篇，大作文常为简单的A类考过的简单题目或者是生活，教育，职业类，和社会公共系统（例如道路交通、公共场所等等）。

口语预测 想要取得好分数，要礼貌，大胆，自信，流畅，自然，真诚，在跟考官的聊天中成为好朋友，把考官当人看，不要当神拜。有四个窍门，第一：多听，听说，考前准备好20-30个考试的高频率话题目（下面预测的Topics），多听标准发音(VOA Special, BBC, 剑桥)对大家正音很有帮助。第二，多模仿，尤其是语调，每天坚持跟读模仿VOA SPECIAL,BBC或剑桥听力半小时以上。第三，一定要敢说，大方的说，不要怕错，对着考官时候连珠炮的问的时候要镇定自若，把话题打开，但是要围绕中心，这真的有点难度，所以大家在思考时一定要有一些连词或者过渡类素材说出来不断同时脑子里思考怎么
回答中心问题。第四，穿着，这真的好重要，大家一定不要穿的很休闲很随意地去参加口语考试，俗话说人靠衣装，男生推荐衬衫，一定要干净，女士也不推荐穿的很花里胡哨，要稍微装重点，这样考官在见你的时候会有点好印象，很重要的。另外进去和结束时一定要和考官问好，THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME， GOODBYE 等等，礼貌问题很重要。
