5月来了，这引无数烤鸭竞折腰的、一年三度的雅思口语换题季又双叒叕来了！！！
在换题季，雅思官方为了保证考试的公平性，会对题库进行一次更新，换掉30%～40%左右的话题。同学们可以想象一下，如果英语口语表达能力不够，还要在考场上碰到崭新的题目，下场会是什么？
但是换题季真的那么可怕吗？小烤鸭们对于换题季又了解多少呢？今天优能君就带大家来窥探一下雅思官方换题季的秘密。
什么是雅思换题季？
每年的1月、5月、9月，雅思口语都会经历一次换题，换题季只是更换口语考试的题目，并不包括听力、阅读、写作。
因为笔试的题目每次考试都会更换，所以，不存在换题季，只是针对口语考试而言。
因为口语的考试是有题库的，每一个季度考核的就是固定的话题，而每年的换题季就会将题库中的一些老旧话题删除并新增一部分的话题代替。
换题季会换多少题？
雅思口语题库虽然出现了变更，但是口语考题自身的难度却并不会发生很大变化。
每次换题季都会在上一季题库的基础上换掉30%-40%口语话题。但每次换题仅仅影响P1和P2，P3考官可以灵活发问，不受换题影响，但题型是固定的。
每个季度的口语题库构成是：
· 保留50%的旧题
· 更新30%的改编题
· 加入20%的全新题
新的题目会在两周左右的时间稳定，之后的几个月一般不会再出现新题。

换题季如何应对？
雅思口语考试题库会开始启用新题，碰上新题的不确定性会非常影响考试发挥。
虽然说有大概三分之一的话题会在换题季被换掉，但如果你按照1-4月的题库来准备的话。 押中题目的概率仍有三分之二！所以提前准备上一季度的题目还是很有必要滴。
不过也要明白有的话题可能永远不会被换掉，比如Part 1的work、name、hometown、study、accommodation等等，这些属于非常基础的话题，所以不管是否处于换题季，都必须准备！
另外，根据雅思官方的换题思路，上一季新加入的题目在这一季中被换掉的可能性比较低。
所以大家可以重点准备一下今年1-４月新增的雅思口语题目，把握好口语的考试要点：比如流利度、逻辑连贯、口语发音等，尽量训练思维的活跃能力，适当拓宽练习的维度，做好考场应变，这样的话即使遇到新题也不会太慌张。
