雅思真题解析
PART 1
在第一部分，考官会介绍自己并确认考生身份，然后打开录音机/笔，报出考试名称、时间、地点等考试信息。考官接下来会围绕考生的学习、工作、住宿或其他相关话题展开提问。
话题举例
Travelling to work or college
1. How do you usually travel to work or college? (Why?)
答题技巧：此题考查的是考生是否会表达日常生活中的交通工具，如地铁（subway），公共汽车（bus），出租车（cab）等等。
I don't have a car, so I usually use public transport. I take subway the most often because it's quite convenient for me. Sometimes I will ride bicycle to avoid being stuck in heavy traffic.
重点词汇：
public transport公共交通
subway地铁
convenient方便的
be stuck in堵住
heavy traffic堵车，拥堵的交通
2. Have you always travelled to work / college in the same way? (Why / Why not?)
答题技巧：你是否经常采用这种交通工具去工作或上学?这个问题是针对考生在上题中回答的交通工具所进行的追问。无论是否经常采用，说出原因即可。
Yes, I have, because for a beijinger, subway is the only form of transportation I can rely on. I used to travel by bus, but a 20 minutes' run could take more than an hour during peak hour. If I travel by underground, however, I can plan my time to work precisely according to my experience and traffic won't be of any concerns.
重点词汇：
beijinger北京人
rely on依靠，依赖
peak hour高峰期
precisely准确地，精确地
concern担心，关切
3. What do you like about travelling to work / college this way?
答题技巧：此题依旧是针对考生在上题中回答的交通工具所进行的追问。可以描述一下刚才所选择的交通工具有什么优点。
Traveling by subway is a 100% time guaranteed transportation for a city dweller. Plus, it offers opportunity for me to refresh myself; I mean, spiritually refresh and reflect what I did yesterday and plan for the future if possible.
重点词汇：
time guaranteed有时间保证的
city dweller城市居民
refresh提起精神
spiritually精神上地
4. What changes would improve the way you travel to work / college? (Why?)
答题技巧：就考生所选择的交通工具，询问有什么可以改进的地方。考生可以充分发挥想象力去谈论，例如自行车可以更小巧轻便，地铁可以提速，公共汽车可以变成三层甚至更多层……
There are many things to do for the improvement. Adding more garbage or trash cans, lowering the fare, upgrading the access for those with physical challenges, and opening up the shops on some subway stations where at one time, you could buy all kinds of things. All of these can make the station more up to date.
重点词汇：
garbage垃圾
trash垃圾
fare费用
upgrade升级
physical challenge身体不便
