TheIntroductionPhaseoftheSpeakingTest
本人善于从网络收集大量雅思资料,当然,都是相当实用的,对于自己复习的学生,可以看看我发的帖子,都是相当有用的!
今天,一如以往,我找到了一个绝对对于中国学生在口语PART1中有用的东西!
以下内容是从事多年雅思考试的外国朋友总结的,全部英文。
-如果你连下面的内容也看不懂,要查字典的话,你的雅思成绩估计也就4分上下-(此话,是作者说的,不是我说的,哈哈)。
如果大家看完以后学到什么了,那就是我最大的动力,我会继续把PART2以及PART3的相关资料和预测发上来!
(都是很权威的)
请大家不管用什么方法,一定要认真看完,内容不难,但是所涉及的问题,大多数人都有可能会发生。
