雅思考试是一项考察英语能力的测试，正是因为这个原因使得雅思考试在考题的选择方面也是很贴近我们生活的。比如在雅思口语中就包括对烹饪、音乐、电影等话题的讨论。而这些话题又是在我们传统的英语教育中涉及的比较少的。所以考生们在被问到此类话题时，往往语塞而告终。当面对这相对庞大的词汇量的要求时，短期之内突破单词无疑是痛苦的事情，但是考试词汇又是我们能自如应对考试的基础，所以接下来就针对口语中可能涉及的电影词汇为大家做个小小的总结。

那么接下来我们就用这些基础词汇来串一段关于电影的话题。
I am a big fan of films. Whenever there is any Hollywood blockbuster released, I am gonna rush to the cinema and check it out. When I feel down, I like to watch comedies as they always help me get out of depression.
Unlike those western films that features a high budget, an all-star cast, a grand spectacle and amazing special effects, Chinese films cater for local tastes. That’s why you can find hundreds of romantic films and comedies among Chinese films.
Among all the romance movies which I have watched, my favorite one is IF YOU ARE THE ONE. This movie starred China’s renowned comedy player, Ge you, as a middle-aged bachelor named Qin fen. After having made an instant fortune, Qin decides to find a good mate and get married. Then he begins his endless blind dates with several candidates. What I love most about this movie the sense of black humor from Qin fen. His announcement looking for a bride really cracks people up. He writes that ‘If you are looking for a handsome guy or a wallet, don’t reply; If you have a Master’s degree or higher, save it; girls born in Shanghai, not possible; female entrepreneurs, sorry, so that we don’t both get disappointed. A bachelor like Tom Cruise would not make an announcement looking for you. Surely, I don’t expect a Notting Hill story either. An average person, good-looking, warm-hearted, healthy, even better if you’re beautifully shy…’ Very funny, isn’t it?
在上面这个小短篇中，我们先介绍了自己喜欢看电影以及为什么，之后谈到了中西方电影的差异，介绍了一部最喜欢的影片，并引用了影片中的台词使整个描述更加的具体。其实考生们在准备雅思口语话题时，除了积累相关的词汇资源外，还应该注意举一反三。就像上文尽管介绍的是《非诚勿扰》这部电影，其实在考试中也可以转化为一本书，一个电视节目，一场表演，一篇文章等。
