雅思口语考试中必不可少的就是人物题，关于人物题的考法也不断变化，从“describe a polite person/ a person who has an important job/a friend you meet for the first time”,到“an interesting old person/a famous person/a person you’d like to spend time with”.虽然考题变化多端，但始终不变的是”who the person is”,即对于人物的描述。掌握了人物的描述方法，再加上对于每个题目的相关内容的描述，考生们即可顺利完成第二部分的回答。那么关于人物我们应该从哪些方面描述呢?
1．关于人物性格的描述(personality)
很多同学都在回答的时候用到了“热心的，善良的”，即kind-hearted, warm-hearted;还有同学会说到“内向的，外向的”—introverted, extroverted;聪明的intelligent;努力工作的hard-working/ industrious;喜欢社交的sociable;可依靠的“reliable, someone you can depend upon”;有能力的“competent”;有抱负的ambitious;有……感的，has a sense of…….。当然在表达的时候有同学还会用到一些贬义形容词，比如说讨厌的boring;喜欢控制人的bossy;焦虑的anxious;脾气不好的bad-tempered.
2.人物对于你的影响或和你的关系
一般我们在考到名人或老人的时候更多的使用的是他们对我们的影响是什么。
比如老人，我们即可从很多角度作答,例如：
1)社会经验，知识积累they got more life experience/ they are knowledgeable/ they went through a lot to become an accomplished….
2)心态they are understanding/supportive/positive/optimistic/always look on the bright side of life.
在谈到朋友时，1)关系we have a lot in common, we often hang out together/we were like peas and carrots/ we grow apart gradually.
2)朋友对你的影响he is a reliable person, I can really count on him/ optimistic, when I am upset, he is always there to cheer me up/ a determined person, when he get into something, he gives one hundred percent.

3.结合具体题目
了解了关于人物的描述方法，我们还要结合具体的题目来回答每一个题目，例如在描述“describe a person who has an important job”时，除了对于人物的描述外还需要重点描述“why the job is important”.例如考到“describe a polite person”的时候，要结合一个关于礼貌的说法，“offer his seat(让座)，make eye contact, carry on telephone conversations in a low voice in public”.
考到“a famous person”时,更要结合具体的实例来，如说到姚明时，我们可以列举一些他所做的慈善工作“he did a lot of charity work. For example, he works with Johnson to help educate Chinese citizens about HIV prevention and support, care people with HIV. ”
