　　13個Part 1的新話題：

　　Numbers

　　Science Class

　　History

　　Art

　　Scenery

　　Cake

　　Spending time by yourself

　　Water Sports

　　Running

　　Park

　　Pen and Pencil

　　Breaks

　　2個Part 1的舊題重現：

　　Tea and Coffee

　　Vacation

　　即使遇到炒冷飯的舊題也有烤鴨出現無話可說的情況：

　　又碰到Tea and coffee? 好怕怕。。。

　　考:

　　我只會說I like drinking coffee because I need it when I feel sleepy. 然后就沒了，考官會覺得這樣的答案不滿意嗎?

　　師:

　　可以讓內容豐富一點，既然是tea and coffee的比較，我們在準備話題時要學會有效地充分準備語料，不要看一題，準備一題。

　　比如：

　　部分喜歡傳統中國茶的還是中年和老年人，很多年輕人喜歡茶類飲料，維他檸檬茶、蜂蜜柚子茶、奶茶這些更受青睞。

　　In China nowadays, tea still plays an important role in people's daily life especially at home, restaurants and teahouses. Generally, elders are fond of the traditional tea-making for leisure and the original taste, while the youth prefer bottled tea drinks because of its convenience and various flavors.

　　咖啡文化 coffee culture

　　In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar, you are presented with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is ‘normal coffee’ for Italians and they are not so keen>

　　咖啡作用 coffee function

　　Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for lots of people, a creamy cappuccino and a cookie is the perfect way to start the day. Moreover, I might drink a cup of Americano to dispel the hangover. My friends told me it could also speed up the metabolism. Actually, I don’t believe it.

　　看，這樣tea and coffee的話題語料就都出來啦，且part 1里任何的問題都可以覆蓋哦。

　　遇到新題怎么辦?除了尬聊尬笑以外，還能怎么辦?

　　考：老師，animal的這個part 2好難，我該怎么準備呢，趕緊說幾句就沒有了。。。

　　考:

　　傻笑ing……

　　師:

　　： Animals是考生們非常陌生的話題。知道動物的類型和稱呼是遠遠不夠的，我們需要知道的是喜歡這種動物的原因：外貌，有趣的習性或者如何在大自然的弱肉強食的環境下生存下來的。

　　比如：

　　I like to watch the programs called the ‘world of animals’ where shows fierce animals, like rattle snakes. The documentary records how rattle snakes prey upon the food and how to survive in extremely cold weather. 然后可以通過紀錄片描述的習性來介紹動物，捕獵對象是誰，贊美可以通過介紹野生動物的強大生存能力來體現

　　本季話題趨勢

　　Objects/Media; Events/Personal Experience

　　人物題新題只出了3個， 地點題新題只出了4個，大量新題出現在事物型話題和個人經歷話題，對于考鴨的話語邏輯要求很高。話題愈發要求語言表達的細節支撐，故事抽象，事物抽象。

　　注意：

　　考生們如果是1月份考試，遇到新題的概率很大。想象一下，考官上一季已經被那些話題“折磨”了4個月，還想再拿“過氣”話題來聊天嗎?

　　新題的特點是偏向于“抽象事物”和“抽象經歷”，什么意思呢?

　　看看藝術品、表演、團隊合作、手機消息、挑戰這些話題，是不是讓考生還沒進考場，就不寒而栗?

　　回憶一下以前我們在課上學的：抽象類話題,要求大家必須掌握一部電影/一部小說，一張畫/一座雕塑，一首歌，一則新聞，一類綜藝節目這5點要求嗎，分別掌握這5項素材，抽象物品類百戰不殆。

　　“那團隊合作怎么辦?“ 想想我們學校里做的project, 有沒有遇到什么障礙，是怎么解決的?那么同時也是一個挑戰類話題，團隊溝通免不了線上溝通吧，那么手機短信自然就放進去了。所謂“抽象的經歷”是對于考生們講故事含糊不清做的一個定義。大家的性格和處事方式其實各有千秋，但偏偏把自己的故事說得和所有人一樣，無新意，無誠意，無吸引力，故稱為“抽象經歷型話題”。

　　這些話題確實讓口語考試的難度提升了，因為考題不光提高了對詞匯使用的靈活度和準確度的要求，對于考生的話語闡述的邏輯性也提出了要求。故事說不清楚，沒有細節支撐，就會抽象、籠統。“話語邏輯”是考生們在準備新題時需要特別注意的。
