考生必须了解的内容
雅思口语考试的第1部分为一般性话题（4~5分钟）。在这个部分，考官会简单地介绍自己，并询问考生的个人信息，问题有6~8个不等。由于所提问题多和考生本人相关，而且问题也比较简单，所以这一阶段不允许考官改变所问的问题。如果出现考生不理解考官所问的问题的情况，考官只能重复他问过的问题或用不同的语言进行转述。因此，考生应该在准备考试阶段尽可能熟悉这些问题的各种问法。
考生进入考场后考官会首先做三件事情：
1.简短问候并请考生就座
2.检查考生的身份证或者护照以确认身份
3.询问考生的全名再次确认其身份并确认考生姓名的发音。
进行考试的第1部分时，考官会先询问考生的基本情况，然后根据考生的情况与考生就一些大众化的话题进行一个泛泛的讨论。
考生应注意的事项
第1部分的测试目的在于帮助考生放松并进入状态。考生因为考试刚刚开始，可能会比较紧张，听不懂问题也在所难免，这个时候可以向考官询问
Would you mind explaining the words you just said? 或者Sorry, I can’t catch up with you.
这时你在考官心目中的印象分会受到影响，但是比问题没有听清楚就贸然回答导致跑题的影响要小得多。
回答考官提出的问题时，不要为了追求所谓的流利而加快语速，让人不知所云。回答的清楚、有条理才是最重要的。
尽量采用较简单的语法形式和词汇，结合自己的实际水平，尽量避免使用复杂的句型和深奥的词汇。交流的目的是为了让彼此能够相互了解，而不是有目的地展示自我。
在对一个话题阐述过程中，如果中途被考官打断，并不意味着你的口语得了低分。其实中途是否打断考生完全是考官的个人习惯，而与分数的高低根本就没有关系。所以不要因为被打断而惴惴不安。
考生应掌握的技巧
应该知道一些常用的连接词，掌握一定量的连词、副词可以使我们获的对答更加流畅。
时间： before， sInce，until， meanwhile，whenever
递进： depending on， that is， that means
举例： for instance， in particular， namely
原因： sInce， due to， owing to， thanks to
总结： In summary， finally，， to sum up， in short
附加： in addition， as well as， besides， furthermore， moreover, initially， to begin with， next， afterwards
启后： Whereas， as a result， therefore， consequently， eventually， inthat case， while， in the meantime
转折： however， on the other hand， despite， although， instead of， but on the contrary
怀疑： might，maybe, perhaps, probably
肯定：certainly, surely, of course
训练自己掌握一定量的句型
句型是口语回答的骨架，掌握常用句型后，无论谈论什么话题，都可以自然地做出正确的反应。即使碰上没有准备的话题，也不至于为了怎么表达而头疼。

需要对话题进行预先准备
对于考试中可能出现的话题，需要预先准备并多加练习。但是千万不要试图背会这些话题后在考试的时候背诵。因为背会所有的话题首先就是个很大的工程，而且就算做到了也没用。考官都非常有经验，他们会控制交谈，转换话题。如果生搬硬背，考生会很被动。所以准备话题的办法就是根据自己的实际情况进行作答，并且要常常练习，自然地把这些答案变为自己的知识储备。
