在雅思口语考试中经常出现一些问题让学生很头疼，特别是一些考生不喜欢，或者很少做的题目，其实同学们可以把不熟悉变成熟悉，把被动变为主动，举购物这一话题为例，do you love shopping? what do you usually shop for? do Chinese people like shopping?这类的问题。一般男生都会说不喜欢，女生肯定说喜欢，同学们记住不要光回答Yes,或者NO，要给原因。但这个原因一定要看下考官的“ 性别”，绝大大数女性会说喜欢购物，男性会不喜欢。如果让考官喜欢你，首先要喜欢考官所喜欢的东西，如果考官是女的，同学们，包括男生，一定要说喜欢购物。如果考官是男的，你是男生，那你就说不喜欢，但喜欢购什么物呢(这就是让考官陷入你的“圈套”了)
Do you like shopping ? (考官是女的，同学们都说喜欢)
1)Yes, I do,记住是Yes I do,不要说成Yes, I love.
2)I+F=HAPPY，I代表你，F是你的friend or family. I like go shopping ,and my friends also like shopping/my parents also do. we often go shopping on weekends in downtown ,which makes us very happy and relaxed out of the pressured work and studying.
3)对于买什么，希望同学们说些能打动考官的话，不要光说给自己买衣服。给自己买书，给家人买衣服，因为家人很忙没时间，你也可以说给好朋友买礼物，加深友谊等。
I love shopping for some books in my spare time ,for reading is my cup of tea,especially the fictions . Also I'll buy clothes for parents. You know they are very busy with work and have little time to shop.(给考官的感觉你就是孝顺的人啦)
这个世界上一般男人都不喜欢SHOPPING，包括考官
Do you like shopping?(考官是男的，你也是男的)
I do not think so,you know i am a guy, and I think it is a waste of time and money(考官会觉得找到志同道合的人哈)， I love reading in my leisure time，for reading is my cup of tea,especially the fictions./I love playing basketball in my spare time ,for it can help shape my body and build up strong sense of team spirit(把考官套入你的爱好中，口语考试不是很死板的，虽然第一部分关于shopping的考题可能有5个左右，但你不喜欢shopping,之后的问题考官不再问与shopping 有关的问题，就问你所喜欢的reading,之后考官所问的都是你最熟悉的，记住同学们，一定要讲些你最擅长的东西，否则考官会觉得你在说谎)考官一般会问，what kind of books do you like to read? with whom you like reading ? hoe often do you read?这类的话题，所以同学们在爱好题中(reading, shopping ,traveling,film, sports)可以互相转化，因考官的性别做出对策。
