　　雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导不少考生反映，虽然雅思口语出了不少新话题，但大部分考生还是被分到了旧话题，这就导致了一些考前只关注新话题的考生分数不高。我们在备考雅思口语的时候，要切记不要就话题论话题，而要统观全局，发现话题与话题之间的关联性和规律性，这样不管遇到旧话题还是新话题，都能从容应对。

　　例如7月份的雅思口语Part1中出了一个新话题：Indoor Games.不少考生觉得很难，因为答题完全找不到思路，无从下口。但通过仔细分析我们很容易找出其中的规律，将问题进行分类，并一一攻破。(具体请参考“本次考试考题精选范例解析”)

　　对于Part2的新话题，我们也可以在其中找到与旧话题的关联性，甚至有些是Part1的延伸。这就启示我们，在回答Part2时，一定要灵活，把脑中有的素材尽量调出，从容应答，这样才能取得理想的效果。而Part3的准备仍然不能放松，建议考生还是以思维的训练和拓展为主。
