雅思口语Cue Cards构思的小贴士

　　l Places cards: always talk about hardware and software

　　Places cue cards are always considered to be the hardest ones since most of the students feel hard to find ideas to talk about. Hardware and Software might not seem so clear as it is said. Let us look at a place cue card below:

　　Example 5)

　　Describe a school you attended.

　　You should say:

　　Which school this is

　　When you attended it

　　Where this school is

　　And explain if this school is a good one

　　The main topic of this cue card is easy with first three simple sub-topics. However, here lies a problem that your speech would not be long enough if you just go through them as the cue card says. Therefore, you can spend most of your speech time on the last sub-topic talking about how good the schools hardware and software are. The areas of the hardware of a school are: the location, the neighborhoods, the facilities, the campus, etc. On the other hand, you can be describing: the courses, the teachers / professors, the schoolmates, the activities, the rules, etc. as the software part of the school.

　　l Object / Things card

　　Unlike people cards and places cards, there is no certain rule to follow on object / things cards. Cue cards on this area vary a lot, from something you made by yourself to a law. However, the speech ideas to these cards always involve: the materials, the ingredients, the meaning, and the situation you got them, etc.
