雅思口語考試的Part 3一直都被視為最難的部分。其難點主要有以下三條：

　　一)題目的性質從原來較為生活化的Part 1和Part 2轉化為Part 3中帶有強烈學術意味的考題。比如How does scientific research benefit space, medical, environmental and information technologies? 該題問科學研究給現代技術帶來怎樣的好處。

　　二) 很多考題不再注重具體的細節描述或陳述，而轉向考察考生的抽象思維能力。比如Does money bring people more happiness or make them less secure? 該題問錢會給人帶來幸福，還是使人更不安全。

　　三)有相當數量的題目會讓考生去對某個話題進行評估，特別是利弊方面的評估;還有些考題讓你對未來進行猜測，讓你說10年或20年之后某事物將會怎么樣。比如In your opinion, what languages will become more popular in the future? 該題要你猜測將來什么語言會變得流行起來。當然，你還必須說明理由。

　　總的來說，Part 3已經超越了日常生活層面，進入到人的深層思維體系之中。它著重的是四樣東西：world views，belief systems，values，attitudes。要把這些東西說好，除了平時的語言功底和隨機應變的能力以外，考生還需要具備一些人文方面的素養。

　　雖然Part 3的問題錯綜復雜，但根據筆者的教學及實戰經驗，我們完全可以把所有Part 3的考題分為以下的九個大類，每一大類都含有若干典型的問話套路：

　　一)闡述原因

　　Why do you think ?

　　Why is it important to do

　　Do you think ? Why ?

　　Is it a good idea to ? Why ?

　　二)預測未來

　　How do you see changing in the future?

　　Do you think that in the future people will ?

　　What do you think will happen to in the future?

　　In your opinion, which/what will become more in the future?

　　三)描述側面

　　In what ways ?

　　What kind/sort/type of ?

　　How important is it for to ?

　　How has changed in the last years?

　　四)維護立場

　　Is it better to or ?

　　Should people always or is it a good idea sometimes to ?

　　Which is more important to you: or ?

　　Which do people in your country prefer: or ?

　　五)利用常識

　　Any yes-no question that involves a clearly positive or negative answer

　　Any question that asks you about the roles, responsibilities and general qualities of a social group

　　Any question that asks you about common knowledge, everyday experience and traditional culture

　　六)提供方案

　　What can do to ?

　　What can be done to ?

　　What do you think is the best way for to ?

　　Are there other ways people can , apart from ? How?

　　七)因果關聯

　　What effect has had on ?

　　How has affected ?

　　Are there any negative effects of doing ? What are they?

　　What do you think causes to ?

　　八)對比異同

　　Do you think was different for your grandparents?

　　What are similarities and differences between and ?

　　九)陳述利弊

　　What are the advantages and disadvantages of ?

　　What are the different advantages of and ?

　　What do you think their disadvantages are?

　　How do people in your country feel about ?

　　從《劍橋雅思》的口語出題風格來看，一般一套口語題的Part 3部分會有6道問題，這一點大家可以參閱《劍一》到《劍七》的真題。下面的這套題從place到travel/tourism再到old buildings/historic buildings，提出了一系列問題：

　　Why do you think people like to travel to different places?

　　 第一類：闡述原因

　　How do you see tourism changing in your country in the future?

　　 第二類：預測未來

　　Why is it important to protect the countryside?

　　 第一類：闡述原因本文

　　In what ways is the countryside in danger in your country?

　　 第三類：描述側面

　　Why are historic buildings and monuments important to a city?

　　 第一類：闡述原因

　　Is it better to keep old buildings, or build new modern ones?

　　 第四類：維護立場

　　由此可見，任何Part 3的問題都可以歸入以上九大類中的某一類。在本系列的后面九講中，針對每一類問題的特殊性，為大家一一分析破解它們的方法，也希望廣大烤鴨們能切實利用這些方法來為自己的考場發揮添磚加瓦。
