现在，我们就一起来看其中的一个话题卡：Describe a car or vehicle you would like to have in the future. (描述一辆你未来想拥有的车。
)借着这个话题卡，我们一起来分析和探讨一下雅思口语考试话题卡的特点及考生的备考方案，也希望考生们能借此掌握一些口语中地道的短语和词汇表达。
实例分析---A car you want to buy1．话题卡首先来看我们要讨论的这张话题卡的内容：Describe a caror vehicle you would like to have in the future. You should say:. which you will choose. what it will look like. how much it will cost and explain why you’d like to buyit.众所周知，雅思口语的每个话题卡上会有四个不同的小要求，需要考生们按照题目的要求进行独自描述。
那么下面，笔者就对这四个要求一一进行分析，给出范例，并列出其中的有用表达供考生记忆和参考。
2．四个要求要求一：Which will you choose? 你会选择什么代步工具？要买代步工具的话，你会选择哪一种？针对这个问题，大家最容易想到、也最方便说的就是汽车了。
考生可以从汽车的品牌说起，比如Alfa Romeo (阿尔法·罗密欧)、Aston Martin (阿斯顿·马丁)、Rolls-Royce (劳斯莱斯)等。
这些牌子大家再熟悉不过了，可顺手拈来。
然后再从性能等方面给出理由即可。
例文：In the future I would like to have a BMW. I think BMW makes the slickest car on the road. First, I would choose a car rather than a motorbike or truck because cars are a nice mix between maneuverability and versatility. A big rig like a truck wastes a lot of gas. A motorcycle can get good mileage, but does not wor kwell in snowstorms. (以后我要买一辆宝马汽车。
我觉得宝马能制造出道路上最酷的汽车。
首先，我选汽车而不是摩托车或卡车，是因为汽车是操控性和功能性的完美结合。
像卡车那样的大型车太费油。
摩托车省油，但是遇上暴风雪的天气就没法开了。
)词汇资源：slickest = coolest 最酷的例句：That is a really slick boat. Where did you buy it?这艘船真酷，你在哪儿买的？nice mix = good combination 很好的结合例句：Internet café is a nice mix between work and fun.网吧是一个将工作和娱乐很好地结合在一起的地方。
mileage = fuel efficiency 油耗例句：This car gets really poor mileage.这辆车太耗油了！要求二：What will it look like? 这辆车会是什么样子呢？针对这一点，大家可以选择的素材其实很多，无论是motorcycle (摩托车)、taxi (出租车)、coach (旅游大巴)、lorry (货车)、jeep (吉普车)还是van (厢式货车)都可以。
请看下面的例文：例文：I would want to buy a red, mid-sized BMW. I would pick red because it is a color that stands out in a crowd. I would keep it washed and spruced-up all the time so that it would turn the girls’ heads. It is difficult to wow someone with your car if the inside looks like a pigsty. (我想要买一辆红色的中等大小的宝马车。
我要选择红色的，因为红色很醒目。
我会让它保持清洁干净，这样就可以引起所有女孩子的注意了。
如果车里像个猪圈一样，就很难给人留下深刻的印象。
)词汇资源：stand out in a crowd = be noticeable引人注目的，醒目的例句：The tall man really stood out in the crowd.那个高个子男人真引人注目。
spruced-up = clean, looking nice 干净的，清洁的例句：I always keep my room spruced-up.我总是保持房间清洁。
turn people’s heads = capture people’s attention引起人们的注意要求三：How much will it cost? 这辆车会花费多少钱？在这辆车上花多少钱取决于每个人的预算。
有些人是汽车迷，买了车之后还会花费很多钱去改装，变成改装车(hot rod)；有些人不会在汽车上花费太多，认为这仅仅是个交通工具(transportation tool)。
例文：The car will cost a pretty penny. BMWs are not a poor man’s car. Most people who drive them are really loaded. In light of this, it will probably take some time before I can shell out the money to buy one. (这车会很贵。
宝马不是便宜车。
很多开宝马的人都很富有。
考虑到这一点，要花钱买辆宝马车的话，我还得等一段时间呢。
)词汇资源：pretty penny = expensive〈口〉一大笔钱例句：Buying a new house costs a pretty penny; it’s expensive.买一所新房子要花一大笔钱，真贵。
poor man’s = inexpensive 便宜的，穷人的例句：It’s a poor man’s beer, but it is my f avorite beer.这是穷人啤酒，但却是我的最爱。
loaded = wealthy 有钱的，富有的例句：Kim is loaded; she is very rich.Kim很富有，特别有钱。
in light of = acknowledging… 考虑到……例句：In light of gas prices, I suggest we walk.考虑到汽油的价格，我建议步行。
shell out = spend 花费例句：I don’t want to shell out 10 dollars for a hamburger.我可不想花10美金买一个汉堡。
例句：The fancy watch turned everyone’s heads.这块时髦的手表引起了所有人的注意。
wow = impress 给……留下深刻的印象例句：Tom wowed his boss with his presentation.Tom的演讲让他的老板留下了深刻的印象。
pigsty = 猪圈，猪窝例句：Wow, did you see Rob’s house? It was a pigsty!喔，你看到Rob的房子了吗？简直是个猪窝！要求四：Explain why you’d like to buy it.解释一下你为什么要买这辆车。
有些人买车是为了方便(convenience)，有些人买车是为了配合自己现在的职位(position)或地位(status)，多数是用作商业目的(business purpose)。
当然，不排除一部分人买车纯粹是为了炫耀一番(show off)。
例文：I would like to buy a BMW because a good car is a mark of pride in China. Not all cars are the same. I really like cars and tend to dote on them. I love the feeling of driving on the open road. I like driving with the pedal to the metal, going as fast as the car will go. I love to go joy riding at night without the lights. It is a heart-stopping experience. I guess I really want the car as a trophy to show off to my coworkers. If I owned a BMW I would be the envy of the whole office. (我要买宝马车是因为在中国，一辆好车是身份的象征。
并不是所有车都是一样的。
我真的非常喜欢车，愿意把热情倾注在车上面。
