在IELTS 雅思口試部分，常見的問題型態是作比較。考生可能碰到的問題為比較台灣跟曾經去過，或是認識的另一個國家。例如，如果你去過法國:
How is France different from Taiwan?
試著盡可能想出這兩個國家的不同之處，越多越好:
- 人民
- 建築 (人文)
- 生活方式
- 夜生活
- 交通
- 氣候
- 外食
你必須要練習一些重要的文法結構，以便使用比較性的句型:
- People in Taiwan are not as romantic as people in France.
- Generally, buildings in Paris are more attractive than in Taipei.
- There are not as many cheap places to eat out in France as there are in Taiwan.
- There are more taxis in Taipei than in Paris.
關鍵字: 比較
- Compared to Taiwan, France is not very humid.
- French hotels are quite expensive in comparison with those in Taiwan.
- If you compare public transport, you'll see it's more modern in Taipei.
國家相對於國籍
當你在談論國家時要記得，在英語上，國家與國籍所用的字是不同的，例如:
- I come from Taiwan, I am Taiwanese.
- I have been to Germany, and I loved the German food.
一些常會搞錯的字如下:
Italy – Italian wine
France – French cuisine
Britain – British English
Australia – Australian beef
Switzerland – Swiss chocolate
Thailand – Thai restaurant
你也常需要拿過去或未來與現在比較。你可以用一樣的句型，但是記得要改變時態。
Q:How has education changed since you were at school?
A:When I was young, schools were much stricter than they are now. And we didn't have as many hi-tech resources.
Q:How do you think transport will be different in the future?
A:Well, I think there will probably not be as many cars, because I imagine public transport will be a lot better than it is now.
