1、雅思口语考试中，建筑描述一直是一个难点，但是在考试中却时有出现，如a library, a hotel, a museum, a restaurant, a concert hall, a historical building, a modern building等。建筑描述中经常会涉及到一些设施、装潢等较为专业的、但在平时的学习中不太被涉及到的词汇。餐馆 cuisine, menu, decoration, architectural style, entertainment, staff, service等。architectural style了，我们可以多积累些相关的词汇，比如gla
2、ss roof, open-air bar on the rooftop terrace和gothic wall等。museum类型，其中的exhibits, 如visual art, painting, illustration, sculpture, collection of drawings and old master prints, document, artifact, art, archaeological object。还可以描述些博物馆经常举办的activities。酒店 设施：underground parking, lobby, lobby bar, outdoor h
3、eated pool, exercise room outdoor yard, well-lit desk, hair dryer, coffeemaker, individual climate control, high speed internet access, direct TV, in-room movie等。合适的句型也是非常重要的 描述library的时候，坐落地点，最常用的当然是be located in或be situated in。例如，我们可以说：The library is located at the southern part of Shanghai. 此外，建筑
4、的风格描述可以选择句型：is a typical classical architecture in a European/western/eastern style。图书馆中的收藏当然是句型：The library is complete when it comes to来描述，例如The library is complete when it comes to references， be it newspapers, books, thesis from former students, etc.地点和建筑类考题的覆盖面是非常之广的，几乎涵盖了所有人们生活之中最常去的地方。其中，小区和住
5、房的描述几乎是每次必考的话题。在描述小区时，我们首先也会描述坐落地点，如city center, urban area, downtown, rural area, outskirts, suburbs, village, town等。此外，还会描述小区的设施，如dry cleaners, gym, car park, swimming pool等。一般还会有针对交通的问题，会用到的词有bus station, subway station, railway station, elevated ring road, maglev, highway等。在小区描述之后，通常是对自己的住房的描述，而
6、经常涉及的考题是谈论house和apartment之间的区别A house is usually on the ground floor, and has an upstairs and a downstairs.In a house there is normally a kitchen dining room and living room downstairs, whilst the bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs.In an apartment, which is usually in a block so raised above ground
7、level, all of the rooms of the house are on the same floor.Houses often come with garages, whereas apartments can usually only come with a parking space.Houses often have gardens out the front and out the back.此外，还会涉及到房屋的设施，如study room, kitchen, dining room, living room, bookshelf, wardrobe, night t
8、able, bunk bed, dresser, armchair, shower booth和rug。房屋的描述还不止于此，有时候，考官会问我们关于如何改进房子的问题，这时候，我们可以选些有新意的点来描述，如：add on a downstairs extension to create a spacious kitchen diner, add a perfect party room, add an all-in-one party room, add a glass extension, move outwards and build an extension, create bigg
9、er bedrooms, add bathrooms, replace old appliances with new good-quality appliances, give your kitchen that just renovated feel, but at a fraction of the cost等。在这类考题中，学生普遍反应最难的一个应该是属于对于swimming pool的描述。很多学生都不知道该从何处着手，也不知道一个简简单单的swimming pool有什么好描述的。其实如果我们描述角度灵活的话，可以将其描述的相当生动，比如，我们可以讲些泳池中的摆设或玩具，如：The
10、y have a variety of pool accessories there for kids to use and play with. 泳池的受欢迎程度：People flock to local lakes and make a day of it. 人们去泳池的目的：They swim laps for exercise instead of relaxing or lounging. 泳池的其它配套设施：This location also has a sauna available.

The entrance fee is One can also purchase monthly cards or special ones for families. 泳池的开放时间：Most of the year, you can swim both in the daytime and in the evening. 泳池的大小It is an Olympic size pool. 等。此外，还有些考题并没有指定学生去描述一个特定的建筑，而是要求学生去描述一种风格的建筑，
12、比如：describe a modern building或describe a traditional building。在描述的过程中，考生要掌握一些平时不太能接触到的词汇和短语，比如在描述现代建筑时，我们可以积累些这样的词汇：marble stairs, function rooms, arc roof, marble pillars, cultural heritages, 而描述传统建筑物的难度则更大，我们需要知道很多日常生活中极少碰到的内容，如：pavilion, terrace, pagoda, temple, sweeping roof, yellow roofs and pu
13、rple walls等。总之，地点建筑类描述涉及的范围相当之广，且考题的出现频率也很高。范围从我们所熟悉的住房和小区，一直到较为学术的现代和古典建筑，考生们一定要在平时积累好相关词汇和句型，这样才能在考场中发挥自如，取得理想的成绩。关于travelling的话题向来是雅思口语考试的重头戏，面对着层出不穷的口语新题，travelling的话题始终保持着经久不衰的地位，在雅思考试中占据着举足轻重的地位。常见的考题有如下一些：1.
