雅思口语是雅思考试里面比较难的部分，很多考生都不知道该如何准备，网上有很多方法和技巧，但都不如看看雅思 《The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS》(剑桥雅思官方指南)提供的几点建议：
1Make good eye contact with the examiner from the moment you enter the room, and answer in a polite and friendly way. Your body language is an important part of communicating.
当你进入考试室的时候，跟考官有个好的眼神交流，作答的时候做到礼貌和友好。身体语言也是一个很重要的交流方式。
2Make sure you arrive early for your test, so that you are not hurrying and have time to relax. If possible , visit the test center before the day of your test, so that you are familiar with where you need to go.
确保提前到达考点，你才不会太匆忙，也能有时间休息。如果可能的话，考试前先去考点看一下，这样才能对考点熟悉。
3The Speaking test should be a natural conversation. If you try to give a prepared speech, the examiner will interrupt you and ask you a different question. 口语考试是一个自然的对话。
如果你想要背诵提前准备的东西，考官会打断你，并且问你不一样的问题。
4It's important to listen carefully to the examiner's questions，so that you can answer in the correct tense. When answering yes/no questions, it is important to answer the question and then give reasons for your answer. Don't simply answer Yes or No.
仔细听考官问题非常重要，这样你才能用正确的时态回答。当你回答一些是否的问题时，正面回答问题和给出理由非常重要。不要仅仅是回答是或者否。
5As you talk, you should only look at your notes briefly. Don't read directly from your notes. Notice how each of the candidates in the videos keeps eye contact with the examiner.
当你在对话的时候，你只能简短地看一下笔记。不要直接读你的笔记。注意观察录像里面的考生是如何和考官保持眼神交流的。
6If you run out of ideas after one minute, give yourself a fresh start by looking at your notes or looking at the task in the booklet again.
如果你一分钟之后不知道该讲什么了，你可以重新看一下笔记或者问题，然后重新开始讲述。
7When you are making your notes, try not to write too much. It is important to use this time to think and note down ideas or words, but you also need to be able to quickly look at your notes during your talk and easily find your next idea. Try to find a way that helps you do this (e.g. organize your ideas clockwise on your page, rather than in a random order).
当你做笔记的时候，尽量不要写太多。尽量使用这个时间去思考和记下你的想法和关键词，同时你也要能够在讲述的时候快速地通过你的笔记来想起你要讲述的东西。尽量想办法来完成这个目标（例如，可以顺时针地组织你的想法，而不是没有规律地写想法）。

8Listen carefully to the examiner's questions to make sure that you answer them fully and appropriately.
仔细听考官的问题，保证你的回答是全面且准确的。
9In each part of the test, it is very important to answer all of the questions as fully as possible so that the examiner can assess your language. This will also help improve your score. Make sure to expand on your answer as much as possible.
口语考试的每个部分里，尽量全面地回答每个问题是非常重要的，这样考官才能更好地评估你的水平。这最终将有助于提高你的分数。确保尽量地去拓展你的答案。
10For Part 3, it is important to have your own opinion. Try to read newspapers and watch the news to keep up with current issues.
对于Part 3，表达自己的观点是很重要的。所以你可以通过阅读报纸和看新闻来保持对时事的了解。
11Don't be afraid to disagree with the opinions the examiner expresses. These are not necessarily what the examiner thinks or believes. It is simply a chance for you to showcase your language and ideas.
不要担心反对考官的观点会怎样。这并不是考官所考虑的。口语考试仅仅是一个表现你的语言能力和观点的机会。同学们在备考的时候可以认真地参考这些建议，相信一定会对你的考试大有帮助。
