雅思考官似乎越来越在乎大家的生活过得幸福与否，不然怎么总问我们“interesting neighbour, interesting apartment, someone made you laugh, a group of people are laughing,interesting foreigner”之类的问题，相信很多同学遇到这些问题都苦不堪言。与此同时，在拿到下面这些问题的时候，大家也有了先入为主的想法。
首先来看以下几道雅思口语题。
P2 Describe a kind of plant or flower in your country（新题）
You should say:
What is it
Where does it grow
Do you like it or not
P2 Describe a newly-opened shop
You should say:
where it is
what you usually buy there
when you went there last time
and explain how you feel about the shop
P2 Describe an English lesson that you have taken （新题）
You should say:
When it was
What it is
And how you felt about this class
P2 Describe a statue or work of art （旧题回库）
You should say:
How does it look like
Where did you see it
And how do you feel about this work
笔者发现我们的同学或是受了前面的” interesting neighbour, interesting apartment, someone made you laugh, a group of people are laughin”等话题的影响雅思口语考官会说什么：雅思口语考官最爱问的点在这里！，亦或是都很善良，怀着一颗美好的心。基本上烤鸭们都会从积极的一个方面来阐释自己的观点，如牡丹、茉莉、茶树等等植物和花卉让人生活变美雅思口语考官会说什么，身心健康，一家很棒的咖啡屋（当然此处套用café的题）再或者是很有意思的英语课堂以及美好的艺术品。
但是，笔者想说的是，首先，你认为你们能想到的这些，别的同学难道就想不到了吗？
举个栗子
以“Describe an English lesson that you have taken”一题为例。 大部分的同学都会描述“When I was in my primary school, I didn’t like English. Because the teacher was not good and she was so strict. But one day, I took part in an English class. I changed my mind. The teacher was so funny and humoroius. She told us a lot jokes and we played some games. I fell in love with the class and since then on I love English.”
笔者相信，大多数的同学都会选择这样的方式来答题，那么问题就来了。
考官会不停的听到相同的表达“funny, interesting, humorious, jokes”和差不多的故事桥段, 毕竟“漂亮的外表千千万，有趣的灵魂难寻一个。”相信大多数雅思同学都体会过了，讲有趣的部分，真的是抠破头也有趣不起来，最终雅思口语考官会说什么，反而只会让词汇和句型显得单一。
那么对于基础分数的同学（5、5.5要求）可能还凑合，但是对于那些想拿到口语6,6.5或者更高分数的同学来说，可能不太容易了就。对于高分的同学来说，不仅仅要展现语言的基本功，还要让考官看到你驾驭语言表达思维的能力。
今天我们就来说一说怎么在雅思口语中让考官耳目一新，轻松给你高分。
我们可以再仔细审一下题，然后我们会发现以上几道雅思口语P2的题，有一个共同点就是”how you feel about it”,这里考官并没有问大家”how you like it”,也就是说我们可以谈谈自己的unpleasant experience。每每课堂上启发到此处“Have you ever experienced bad teachers?”(话题teacher里的问题)，大家总是有说不完的抱怨和经历，那为什么不用在这里呢雅思口语考官会说什么，答案有可能就变成这样了
“when I was in my primary , I didn’t like English, because I thought it was too hard for me to learn . But mom told me in my middle school the teacher would teach us Englsih in a systematical way and then as long as I listened carefully in class I could manage it. I remembered it well. On the day of my first English class in my middle school, I felt those were lies. The teacher supposed us all learn the ABC about Englsih and she talked so fast in class and skip many places which were so confusing to me in order to save us more time to do the exercises. After she checked the answers and I did many questions wrong. 45minutes later, the first English was over. I felt even worse. Guess what I was forced to join after school classes to improve my English.Luckily, I met a good teacher there. So I think learning a language is more than just doing some exercises, tests or grammars. The teacher should make the class interesting and the language useful.”
因此，在审题的时候要仔细，只要题目没有问道“why you like it”, 大家都可以从counterexample上下手，思考一下自己的答案，”
这样一来，无论是故事的吸引程度或者语言的表达都更多元化了，不然怎么说“幸福的家庭都是一样的，不幸的家庭各有各的不幸呢”。笔者相信大家以这样的counterexample来阐释你的观点，一定会让考官在听到的一瞬间就对你产生了情感分（至少不会觉得说又是一个无聊的陈述吧），这样你的原创性提高了（太多一样的答案，说得让考官感觉都是背的模板了，即使你并没有），最后答题的难度却下降了。
Counterexample有时候也会成为很好的论点和论据运用在p1和P3的答题中。
比如回答P1的问题“Do you use mirror before buying a piece of clothes?”大部分同学会见到”Yes, I need to check whether the clothes fit me or not.”但是好像这样就结束了，可是如果我们在这里再加入“Yes, I need to check whether the clothes fit me or not. I remember once I bought a pair of trouses home in a hurry. I mean I didn’t try them on and when I got home and tried them on in front of mirror. It looked terrible on me, since then on I would look into the mirror before buying any clothes.”
现在以这种思路来想一想其他几道题呢，有没有花卉植物有着让你讨厌的味道，让你过敏，甚至有毒害呢，有没有一家新开业的店装修风格、菜品的味道想让你吐槽呢，又或者一件实在是让人难以理解的艺术品呢。
