考点点评

5月属于变题季，PART 1部分我们关注“rainy”话题；PART 2 我们来关注最近的常考题“something special thatyou saved money to buy. 考生们一般比较担心和害怕还是第二部分，一是怕陡然遇到 一个题目，一时不知选哪件事情说比较好。二是毕竟是要自己说2分钟，中间会出现很多语法和发音的错误。其实二个忧虑都是可以通过考前准备来弥补一下的，但无论如何也很难保证100%正确，就算是native speaker说话时也会有失误，不必苛求自己。

第一部分
1. What do you do on rainy days?
I believe it depends really, because there are some things I have to doregardless of whether it’s raining or not, you know, like going to lectures.But when I’m free, I tend to just chill out at home if it’s raining. So forexample, I might read a book or watch TV, and I’ll only leave the flat if Iabsolutely have to!

2. Do you think rain is good?
Yeah, for sure. I mean, for one thing, it helps get rid of all the dust in theair. And secondly, it’s good for the natural environment. You know, it helpsall the plants and vegetation stay alive. So although I don’t particularly likethe rain, I understand the need for it!

第二部分：
Describe something special that you saved money to buy
You should say
What it was
How long it took you to save the money
Why you wanted to buy it
And explain how you felt after you bought it
范文参考：
Ok then, one occasion that I did save up to buy something myself was when I gotmy iPad air, so that’s what I’d like to talk about.
As for how long it took me to save up for it, well if I remember correctly, Ithink it took about four or five months, and I basically did it by cutting backon other things, you know, like eating out and buying clothes.
Anyway, regarding why I wanted an iPad air, well I suppose the main reason wasthat I’m a big Apple fan. You know, I already had an iPhone and laptop, so theonly thing I desired was an iPad air.
And as for how I felt after buying it, well first of all, I was really excited,you know, because I couldn’t wait to start using it. And it also felt greatbecause I’d saved up for it myself instead of simply asking my parents to buyit for me. So for that reason, it just felt a bit more special to me.
