Introduction:

A: Most of the students really have issues with Part 1, because they may not be familiar with the topic.

J: At Part 1, in the beginning, people get really nervous and even want to stop having the test, while facing a foreign examiner with blue eyes or grey eyes.

大多数学生都觉得part1挺棘手的，因为他们可能不熟悉考题中的话题。一看到蓝瞳或者灰瞳的外国考官们，考生们就开始很紧张甚至想直接停止考试。

Though you don't prepare for it, the skills we mention here are still very useful. Because IELTS speaking topics are so closely related to our daily life and conducive to our spoken English.

尽管一些小伙伴没在准备雅思，但是这些内容还是大有裨益。因为雅思的口语话题都很贴近人们的日常生活，对大家提升口语很有帮助。

Tips:

A: They are going to ask about your daily life. It's nothing out of the box. They're not gonna ask you difficult topics. Above all, don't panic! It's just a very normal conversation.

考官们会询问你的日常生活是什么样。没有什么创新性的话题。他们也不会问你一些很难的问题。最最重要的是，不要自乱阵脚！只不过是一些很平常的对话。

Buzzword：

Out of the box: It's an expression that describes nonconformal, creative thinking.创造性的，思维不合常规的

Alex means that don't expect to be asking you about astronomy or physics or stuff like that. It's just going to be like about yourself, like your study, hometown, what do you prefer, what do you do. It's gonna be very basic rather than crazy topics.

Alex的意思就是不要觉得考官会问你一些什么天文学，物理这些东西。考题只涉及到你自己，比如你的学习，家乡，你喜欢什么，你的工作是什么。不会有什么很疯狂的话题，都是很基础的问答。
