我们来看一下，如果在流利度这个单项里边得到5-6分的这种情况，分别有哪些特征呢？
我们先看五分的情况，第一点，通常能够保持语流。就是你的语流是平缓的，自然的。但是通过需要偶尔的重复，还是需要比如说，What about your education，and education,education一直在重复education，这是有五分的一些特点以及降低语速来维持表达。也就是说，你在想一个问题，必须得通过降低某个单词的语速，把它说得很慢来体现出你思考的这个痕迹，但是这样的痕迹是最好要杜绝，要避免的。
第二点就是过度使用某些连接词和语篇标记，即一直的使用and，太过了。再比如说，利用简单的语言进行交流或者表达，但在进行更为复杂的交流时表达不畅。也就是说你想表达更复杂的这种观点的时候，你是会磕磕巴巴的，而且这种现象非常多，这是五分的特征。
同学们，留求艺今天为大家带来了最近一次雅思考试（5月12日）的真题预测和分析，来不及看完的记得先收藏好哦~

Part 2 & 3
Part 2 题目1
Describe a popular person.
You should say:
Who the person is
What kind of person he or she is
Why the person is popular
And explain how the personinfluences the public
提示：
此话题属于“People”类话题；其次，我们使用的主要时态应该是“Present Tense”；接着，我们看前三个“basic information”：这个人是谁？他是怎么样的一个人？为什么这个人如此受欢迎？这里我们需要思考：这三个基础信息之间是否存在某种 logical connection？还有，如何针对每个基础信息进行有效的拓展？比如，因为“他是这样的一种人”，因此“他很受大家的欢迎”；再比如，在介绍“这个人是谁”时，我们可以拓展一下这个人和你的relationship，或者how did you get to know this person? 等等；
到最后解释，说明的部分，我们需要思考这个人是如何影响到周围的人的，这里大家注意，这里指的影响应该是积极的，正面的；另外，大家关注一下结构：先给出statement/topic sentence +supporting details.
参考答案：
Well, speaking of a popularperson, I have to talk about one of my close friends whose name is Mike. I gotto know him since I entered college in 2010 as we happened to share the samedorm. And I believe the major reason we soon became good friends is that he hasquite a few qualities that I really admire. Therefore, we still keep in touchalthough we already left college years ago and are now working in differentcities.
With those qualities hepossesses, not only is he popular with a couple of his good friends, but alsowith people who have spent time with him as they all speak highly of him and wantto hang out with him more.
The first quality that he hasis good manners, meaning he is such a polite person. For instance, when hisfriends are talking to him, he never interrupts. Instead, he would listenattentively and then respond properly, and from time to time, he would offersome constructive suggestions as well.
What’s more, he is also aconsiderate man. I still remember there was once we planned to take a shorttrip during one summer at college. Before the trip officially started, he hadalready begun purchasing some necessities for the trip such as tissues, water,snacks and so on.
Obviously, all his qualitieshave positively influenced the people around him because we have all witnessedthat those qualities made all of us feel relaxed, respected as well as caredabout whenever we are in a group. Therefore, we have all gradually learned thatwe should try to be good listeners when we are with friends and family, andalso we shall try to stop being so self-centered, and instead we ought to serveothers more when we spend time together.
重点词汇及表达：
①speak highly of：动词短语；高度评价某人或某事
Eg：As all the students speak highly of Professor Lee, his lectureeven attracts many students from some nearby universities.
②attentively: 副词；认真的，投入的, 专心的
Eg：Everyone listens to the coach attentively to make sure that theydo not miss any important tips.
③constructive: 形容词；有建设意义的，有益的
Eg： He seems to be so good at putting forward constructivesuggestions in our weekly meeting.
④tissues: 名词；纸巾
Eg：Compared with others, she obviously consumes a lot more tissues.
⑤witness: 动词/名词；见证，目击；目击者
Eg：You would also have been shocked if you had witnessed what he didlast night.
Part 3 题目
What are the qualities of beingpopular?
参考答案：
Well, there might be quite afew qualities for someone to become popular. However, I believe the mostimportant quality is honesty. What I mean by that is you never lie no matterwhat people you meet and no matter what circumstance you are in, and that alsomeans what you say is in consistence with what you do.
What influences do popularstars have on teenagers?
参考答案：
The influence can be positiveor negative. For instance, teenagers could learn to make better use of theiryouth to do something more meaningful such as spending time in a libraryreading when a star posts a photo of herself reading in a library through hermicroblog. However, some teenagers might also ask their parents for luxurieswhen they see their favorite stars showing those on some social network, whichis undoubtedly a negative impact on teenagers.
Do you think children shouldimitate their idols?
参考答案：
Well, it really depends. I meanchildren could imitate their idols if it brings positive changes in their life.For example, if seeing their idols donating money to those poor kids for bettereducation makes them follow this behavior by donating their pocket money,children could imitate their idols. However, if their idols are accused ofdrunk driving, children should never imitate that, as it is absolutely aterrible action.
Do you think popular stars havemore freedom or less freedom?
参考答案：
From my perspective, I thinkthey generally have less freedom. You know, they are so different from ordinarypeople like us, because what they do, what they say or even what they wearevery day may have a great impact on society, naturally everything about them becomesthe spotlight of media, which means their privacy cannot be fully protected andrespected. In other words, they do have less freedom.
Part 2 题目2
Describe a recent change inyour life
You should say:
what the change was
when it happened
how you felt about it
and explain if it was apositive or negative change for you
提示：
此话题属于“个人经历”类话题；其次，我们使用的主要时态应该是“Past Tense”；接着，我们看前三个“basic information”：这个变化是什么？是什么时候发生的？你对这个变化的感受如何？这里我们需要思考：我们是否需要按照信息的罗列顺序依次交代这些信息点？还有，如何针对每个基础信息进行有效的拓展？比如，我们是不是可以先给出一些相关的背景信息，然后在引出“这个变化”的具体信息？再比如，在交代“How you felt about it” 时，我们是不是可以同时给出积极和消极的感受？
到最后解释，说明的部分，我们需要思考这个变化对你自己是积极的还是消极的，这里建议大家尽量谈一些积极的影响（A positive change may indicatethat you are a positive person.）；另外，大家关注一下结构：先给出statement/topic sentence +supporting details.
参考答案：
Not long ago, I made a sportsplan for myself to get up early and go jogging in the morning for about 20minutes before I go to work.

There is no doubt that it is apositive change in my life because it can first of all help me stay healthy.Instead of sleeping late in the morning in the past, I can now get up a bitearlier when the alarm goes off so that I could breathe the fresh air in thegarden near my community while jogging, and I am certain that jogging helps meexercise both my body and heart.
Second of all, getting up alittle earlier can also leave me some time to read news and check someimportant emails related to my work before I reach my company so that my timein the morning can be better utilized, which means I could be more productiveat work.
