各位烤鸭们大家好，时至今日，2012年雅思考试已经经历过11次。我们都知道，雅思考试的时间一般安排在周末和每个月第一周的周四。纵览这11次雅思口语考试，雅思口语第一部分可以归纳为5大类：Basic information（基本信息）、Daily Routines （日常安排）、Hobbies and Entertainment（兴趣和娱乐）、Abilities（能力）、People and Animals（人和动物）。第二部分同样也分为5类：People and Animals（人和动物）、Objects（物品）、Events（事件）、Places and Buildings（地点和建筑）、Media（媒体）。而第三部分考题通常是第二部分的延展，因此，今天的课程，我们主要来回顾一下，前两部分的考题。
