雅思口语的每一部分都令绝大多数的中国考生紧张。而三个部分中的第三个部分往往被备考同学忽略。
其实，雅思口语共分的3个部分，分别是一般话题问答、话题描述和双向深入讨论。不少学生认为，只要前两部分表现良好，就能拿高分，Part 3可有可无，在准备雅思口语时，Part 3也不在重点练习范围之内。考试时，到结尾一部分时往往开始放松，答题随意，甚至对Part3的问题敷衍了事。事实证明，Part 3是对Part 2的一个升华，主要考察学生的论证能力和临场反应能力，同时也测试学生在深入探讨主题时，能否保证英语各方面，特别是发音和语法不出现太大的失误。通过研究Part 1的问题，我们也不难发现，很多Part 1问题的难度已近接近Part 3了。因此，研究雅思口语Part 3的答题技巧及方法，不仅可以帮助我们练好Part 1, 更能帮助我们取得雅思口语高分。
雅思口语Part 3的问题主要是根据考生Part 2的回答来提出的，具有随意性的特点，因此不容易把Part 3可能问到的问题一一列出。但是，Part 3的题目可以用一些关键词来进行分类。以下列举了雅思口语Part 3中常见的话题关键词和一些关键句型，希望考生们能够掌握并反复练习。
