雅思口语考试的核心内容，是口语的表达能力，而非考生的知识储备量。
所以引申出的下一个问题，也是大部分烤鸭，包括年少时的我一度产生的困惑：
“我这个回答肯定烂大街了，得不了高分，我得想一个更新颖的答案”
“这个回答也是大家都能想到的”
“肯定还有更好的idea”
越想越纠结........
就好比最近很多同学被难住的一道雅思口语Part2新题：
“Describe some useful skills you learned in a math class from your primary/high school”
好多同学拿到这个题目的第一反应是啥，慌啊！新题，还是math?!
光是用中文讲都会卡壳的题目，想到中文里和数学相关的单词就是各种慌：
乘法除法，代数，几何，微积分……&#@##￥一个都不会，咋办！
Andy老师告诉你，一点都不必慌！
就说最简单的，我们一样拿下雅思口语7分！
我们就挑最简单的回答，就说数学课上的加减法，如何运用呢，“帮助我们在生活中找零啊~”
很多同学肯定又吐槽了，这回答肯定烂大街了！
此处我想提的是，观点根本就不在雅思口语的四大评分标准里，也就是说，再好的观点也不会给你的口语加分，再普通的idea也不会让你的口语减分。
但是相对的，最简单的idea，往往意味着简单的词汇和语法。就算是烂大街的主题我们一样可以通过合适的方法和结构，妥妥的把7分拿下！
Andy老师现在就教大家如何用最普通的观点，平凡的词汇，初级的语法，达到口语7分。
槽点 1
答案不接地气啊！
首先让我们来看一下网上某高分答案给出的所谓的‘精选词汇’，先给了考生一种无形压力：
"Maths is the language through which Godhas crafted (vt. 精心制作) the wholeuniverse."
“数学是上帝创造世界的语言。”
“The Queen of all Sciences”
“科学之母”
谁会在正常英语中这么说话啊…… 如果在生活中你和老外这么聊天，他肯定下巴都能被你吓掉了……
然后，答案给的观点是说，数学教会了我思考与解决问题：
“studying maths trains me up to be an expert problem solver.”
“高分答案”正文：
There are a whole host of useful skills I can learn from math, while logical thinking must be the only one which has influenced me a lot. I still remember the first time I heard of this term was from a speech delivered by our teacher in the first year of my secondary school. I learnt its great importance. Then I started to pay great importance on it when my math teacher taught me how to think of questions in math.
Hands down (毫无疑问地), it is quite useful for us to think of problems easily not only in our study, like how to solve out a problem, but also in our daily life, like how to break down those complicated problems into several small and easy questions.
Undoubtedly, this kind of skill benefits me so many when I face those trivial problems in my life, like food choice. At the same time, I am also able to make wise decision for those big problems, especially like which job is more suitable to me.
To be honest, at first I was not really good at using this skill to solve out problems based on so many years’ cramming education. I was still used to looking up answers from textbooks in lieu of (替代) independent thinking. While with the time passing by, I finally mastered its tips that information much be weighed up (权衡), sorted out (分类), and then processed in a certain order. Right now, it’s an easy thing for me to make a decision.
槽点 2
读完之后好像读过，又好像没读过？？？
大家读完有没有一种感觉，就是读完了，好像看懂了，但是过了5秒，我好像忘记她具体讲过啥了。这就是以一种议论文的方法去回答口语考题的典型例子，一板一眼，逻辑也很严密。
Andy老师不是说这样的回答拿不到7分，我甚至很肯定的说，这是超过7分的答案，但是为什么这样的答案不合适广大雅思考生呢？
槽点 3
不适合考生备考雅思口语
因为这篇文章的大部分角度是议论文的方法用第三人称的视角去阐述的（虽然一直以‘I’为主语），但是阐述观点的时候：
没有时间，
没有地点，
没有人物，
没有回忆，
没有个人情感，
没有一种‘我在讲故事’的感觉。
进而给人一种感觉：这不是发生在我身上的事。
而且，如果以议论文的方法去回答口语题，每句话的逻辑要求都会更高，一旦逻辑不清，就让会听众或者考官听得云里雾里。
以一个观众的角度，我们在听完他的这段阐述后，正文阐述的主体部分记忆很快就退去了，因为没有共鸣，只留下最初的idea， problem solving，但是正文说了什么，不记得了。
为什么我很肯定的说，讲故事的方法肯定比议论文的方法要适合考生去练习并记忆呢？如何使用最简单的单词和语法在雅思口语考试中取得高分呢？

Andy老师的作答思路及示例
以我多年的口语教学经验来说，雅思P2的主题应该是讲一个故事。
各位同学找任意一个P2真题，其实无不是在重复的让考生去描述他的经历。
这个经历可以是真的，当然最好是杜撰的（为什么我们下次可以专门撰文讨论），
但是一定要是一个故事。
一个好故事都包含什么基本元素呢？
时间、
人物、
地点、
故事本身最好还需要一个小反转或者小高潮
以下是我的回答：
I would like to talk about the time I learned the idea of getting change after purchasing something using subtraction I learned in year 2.
Before I started year 2, I did not have much concept about money or purchase goods. I roughly knew that if you gave the storeman some coins, they would give you cookies or sweets as an exchange. Besides, my mother sometimes gave me enough money to buy one lollipop or one pack of cookies, so I never have to worry about getting change.
It is fair to say that for a 10-year- old child, he would be more than happy to give out $100 dollar note to exchange for one box of sweets probably worth 2 dollars, because children do not understand the idea of money.
In the math class from year 3, when the first time Ms Tipping - our math teacher - taught us about the lesson of subtraction, I was fascinated. It was like opening the gate to a new world. The homework we had from that math class is to use subtraction as a skill to buy something.
So I asked my mother for 5 dollar and I promised her that I will get change from grocery man today she laughed loudly! However, she still quietly followed me downstairs and watched me handing over that 5 dollar note and bought myself one 3 dollar ice cream. I poked out 5 fingers and started using subtraction, numbering in mouth “5 minus 3 equals 2”
After I yelled out TWO to the grocery man, my mum was so proud of me, as this was the first time I used subtraction as a skill to get change in real life.
That was surely an unforgettable day.
这篇文章是我杜撰的，描述了二年级的我第一次使用减法来找零的场景。
全文几乎没有高难词汇，也没有高级语法，只用到了基本的过去式。
但是故事有具体人物，时间，还有一个小高潮，听上去虽然有点傻，但是其实更像是一个真实的经历。
这样的描述其实方便考官去更好的理解考生具体讲的内容，而不是因为考生逻辑不清无法理解考生要表达什么，转而更多的去注意考生在语法和口音上的不足。
而且其实对于很多口语5-5.5分的同学来说，P2往往讲不满2分钟。讲故事的方法可以帮助考生平均延长半分钟到一分钟的时长，在考试中往往达到意外的效果！
