雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导以上加粗的部分是2015年度的新题，建议考生重点准备这几个题目。大家在每个月后面一场的考试中，注意参看前一场的考试回忆，这样可以非常有针对性的进行准备。

很多同学在近期反映出来的问题是，话题思路较少，不知道如何回答，甚至是用汉语回答都会感觉词穷。那么如何能够快速地整理出思路呢？需要大家在平时的生活场景中多思考，多讨论一下自己的想法。比如，儿童教育问题，这是重点问题，而学生恰恰没有这方面的生活经验，就需要大家多看一些关于儿童教育的新闻、评论文章等，对于家长所关心的事情进行一个梳理，这样才能对答如流。此外，需要提醒大家注意的是，本年度的新题中，题目抽象概念的，或者是将原来的旧题换个说法的比较多，因此大家应识别出这样的题目。比如ambition这个题目，很多同学都无法在1分钟的准备时间内组织好语

言和思路，其实，ambition这个词比较抽象和概括，大家可以理解为未实现的plan, dream, 或者是一个目标goal, 可以说旅游、读书、选择学校和专业、学习一门语言或技能都可以。
