xport：为什么其他三们都有机经,就口语没有呢?是和去年,前年一样,没有变化还是什么原因呢?我想总不会雅思取消口语考试了吧!!.版主,您是否能给个答案呢?总闷着也不是个事啊!  
 
John：Part of the reason that you don't see 机经 for the spoken test is that there are no "correct" or "incorrect" answers for the spoken test.  The interviewer gives you a score based on your ability to communicate, and not based on whether or not your answers conformed to a predetermined "answer sheet". 

While the topics do are updated frequently, the types of questions never really change. It's much more important to work on improving your ability to communicate using spoken English than it is to try and guess exactly which questions the interviewer ask.

红星照我去战斗：But I don't think  the speaking part of IELTS is  perfect enough to test one's speaking level by some topics according to different background knowledge of different people.Set I myself for example, I don't like sports ,and I know nothing about sports stars.If it happened to me that my topic is that, I would fail in the exam. However, if we can collect the topics ,then we can collect words related to the topics  to develop our speaking materials.

John：I disagree. 

In fact, it's very unlikely that you'll be given a card in Stage Two of the interview asking you to describe a "sports star".  It's much more likely that your card would ask you to describe a "famous person", in which case you could describe a sports star, an entertainer, a businessman, a political figure, or any number of different types of people.

And if you are asked about the topic of "sports" in Stage One, it's fine for you to say "I don't like sports!"  The interviewer will probably ask you "why?", but you don't need any specific knowledge of sports in order to explain why you don't like sports. :)

The most important part of the IELTS interview is *not* your knowledge of the specific topics; instead, the most important thing is your ability to express yourself in English about a variety of topics.

Let me know if this is unclear.  I'm happy to continue this discussion.
