2026年8月最新【雅思正式考題回顧】寫作「手機遊戲」題目分享

Caller: And what are the main activities?

David: Well, the first thing is traveling to the other side of a lake.

Caller: You mean by boat?

David: No, it’s the little train that runs along the shore off the lake. It’s very popular.

Caller: Oh, my children will love that.

David: And that’s how you get round to the caves. This is where the glowworms live. So you spend some time exploring the caves and looking at the remarkable lights and patterns given off by the worms in the dark.

Caller: That does sound interesting. And any other information?

David: Oh, just one thing. How old are your children?

Caller: Uh, seven and ten. Why?

David: No, that’s okay. It’s just that children must be five or older to go in the caves. Otherwise, they might get scared in the dark. But yours will be fine.

Kingstown Tours

Name of tour: Cave Explorers

Price: $93

Main activities: go in a small 1. __________________ to the other side of the lake; explore caves

Other information: minimum age of 2. __________________ years

分析：

這類題目主要考學生能否準確捕捉對話中的具體事實細節，例如交通工具類型、年齡限制及數字資訊。正確答案分別為「1. train」與「2. 5/five」。聽音過程中，學生應特別注意所需填入的詞性與格式。例如：第 1 題在形容詞 small 之後需要填入一個表示交通工具的單數名詞；第 2 題則需要一個數字來確定年齡限制。聽力過程中，學生應特別注意干擾資訊與句型改寫。在第 1 題中，雖然對話中提到了「by boat（搭船）」的選項，但音檔隨後澄清為「little train」；第 2 題儘管對話中提及孩子的年齡為「seven and ten（7 歲與 10 歲）」，但音檔明確指出入場規定為「five or older」。在準備此類題型時，學生應多加練習預測詞性、辨別干擾資訊，並在寫下答案前，確認完整的資訊內容。

Well, good morning everyone and a warm welcome to the Wilford Living Museum. Before you look around, I’d like to tell you a bit about the history of Wilford and the purpose of the museum.

Well, if we go back to the early 1800s, Wilford was very different to what you see today. At that time, the forests had already been cut down, but there were no large urban settlements here, just a few small villages. And this whole area was a place where local people kept animals or grew crops. Those were the only economic activities.

But then, in 1830, something happened in Wilford that transformed the area. The discovery of rich deposits of coal and other minerals opened up many commercial possibilities. Mines were built so these deposits could be brought to the surface. Then a canal was constructed so that canal boats could transport the minerals to other regions. Finally, a railway was built through Wilford in the 1850s, creating many new opportunities.

A occupied by houses.

B used for farming.

C covered in trees.

分析：

這類題目主要測驗學生能否找出具體細節，並區分正確的關鍵細節與干擾資訊。聽力開始前，學生應先閱讀題幹與選項，並找出「early 1800s」、「land」、「houses」、「farming」以及「trees」等關鍵詞。正確答案為 B：「用於農業耕作。」關鍵在於音檔提到當地人「kept animals or grew crops（養殖動物或種植作物）」，這直接對應到農業活動。其餘選項皆為干擾項：A 錯誤，因為音檔指出「no large urban settlements here, just a few small villages（這裡沒有大型城市聚落，只有少數小村莊）」且農業是「the only economic activity（唯一的經濟活動）」，這表明雖然有少數村落房子，但當地主要是一個小型的農業區域，而非大部分土地都被房屋所佔據；C 錯誤，因為音檔明確指出「the forests had already been cut down（森林已被砍伐完）」。準備這類題目時，學生應特別注意同義替換（例如：「kept animals or grew crops」＝「used for farming」），並仔細分析句構以排除錯誤選項。

Tutor: OK, Kiara and Finn, can you tell me how your project is going? Your general topic was the future of work, wasn’t it?

Kiara: Yes, we’ve read a lot of articles on it. Some were more interesting than others.

Finn: There were a couple of writers that just made some strong statements without really backing them up.

Kiara: The problem is, it’s such a big topic. Some of the articles were aimed at graduates, and some of them were targeting people who’ve been in work for years. We should have narrowed down our topic before we started searching.

Finn: But anyway, the focus was always the changing nature of jobs, how it’s all happening so quickly.

Kiara: Exactly. Every single article said we can forget the way things used to happen.

Finn: Like you started out as an apprentice and then you stayed in the same company for years. That’s over.

A mainly reflect the concerns of older employees.

B refer to the end of a traditional career path.

C tend to exaggerate the likely changes.

分析：

這類題目主要測驗學生能否找出具體細節，並區分正確的關鍵細節與干擾資訊。聽力開始前，學生應先閱讀題幹與選項，並找出「Kiara and Finn」、「agree」、「articles」、「future of work」、「older employees」、「traditional career path」以及「exaggerate」等關鍵詞。正確答案為 B：「提到了傳統職涯發展路徑的終結。」關鍵在於音檔中指出「we can forget the way things used to happen（我們得拋棄過去的做事方式了）」，Finn 對此表示贊同，並補充說明從見習生做起，然後在同一家公司待上好幾年的傳統模式已經「over（結束了）」。其餘選項皆為干擾項：A 錯誤，因為音檔提到文章目標對象同時包含「graduates（應屆畢業生）」與「people who’ve been in work for years（工作多年的職場人士）」，並非主要反映較年長員工的擔憂；C 錯誤，因為音檔未提到文章誇大（exaggerate）了變化，而是強調這些轉變發生得非常快速（happening so quickly）。準備這類題目時，學生應特別注意同義替換（例如：「forget the way things used to happen」／「that’s over」=「end of a traditional career path」），以及判斷發言人之間是否達成一致。

Let’s start with the three main types of fossils found here. The first type is transitional fossils, which are quite rare. These fossils display characteristics that bridge the evolutionary gap between ancestral species and their modern descendants. A well-known example would be fossils that showed traits of both dinosaurs and birds.

Next, the second type is actual fossilised remains of ancient organisms, which is categorised under ‘preserved ones’. Unlike the first type, preserved fossils maintain much of the original structure, making it possible to see distinct features of plants or animals.

The third category is Ichnofossils, which can help to trace fossil size and forms through the actual remains of an organism, but instead provide evidence of their activity. These include footprints, burrows, or tunnels left behind by prehistoric creatures.

The Preservation of Organisms and Fossils

Three types of fossils:

• Transitional fossils: rare, show evidence of evolutionary change
• 1. __________________ fossils: actual fossilised remains
• Ichnofossils: 2. __________________ indirect evidence of animals, e.g. footprints or tunnels

分析：

這類筆記填空題主要測驗學生能否從音檔中辨識關鍵資訊、同義改寫與文法線索。第 1 題中，空格用於修飾「fossils」，音檔提到真實的化石遺骸被歸類為「保存化石」（categorised under ‘preserved ones’），因此正確答案為「preserved」。第 2 題的空格位於「indirect evidence of animals（動物活動的間接證據）」之前，需要一個動詞來補全句子的主要動詞；音檔說明 ichnofossils（痕跡化石）「provide evidence of their activity（提供了生物活動的證據）」，因此正確答案為「provide」。準備這類題目時，學生應在聽力開始前先注意詞性或同義改寫，並在寫下最終答案前務必檢查字數限制。

The Pyramid of Cestius

A 2,000-year-old pyramid in the city of Rome has been restored by archaeologists.

Though Rome draws tourists from around the world to its many impressive sites, one notable monument there has never attracted nearly as much interest: the Pyramid of Cestius. But why would there be a pyramid in Italy? After the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 B.C., Egyptian architectural style became the fashion in Rome.

Though obelisks and other monuments inspired by Egypt’s great pyramids sprang up around the city, only two actual pyramids are known to have been built. The only one left standing, the Pyramid of Cestius, was designed as the burial pyramid for a Roman politician named Caius Cestius, who ordered that the building work be completed within a period of 330 days. Construction took place at some point between 18 B.C. and 12 B.C. Cestius’ pyramid had a layer of white Carrara marble on the outside, and was constructed from brick held together by a basic kind of cement on the inside. One of the things that strikes you when you look at the pyramid is how steep it is, so that the shape of Cestius’ pyramid is quite unlike that of typical Egyptian ones. This is a difference that could have been the result of inaccurate information sent back to Rome by soldiers who saw the pyramids in person in Egypt. Alternatively, Roman builders could have drawn inspiration from the pyramids in Nubia, a region located in what is today northern Sudan and southern Egypt.

TRUE　if the statement agrees with the information

FALSE　if the statement contradicts the information

NOT GIVEN　if there is no information about this

分析：

這類TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN題型，應先辨識關鍵詞，例如專有名詞、時間範圍或事件先後順序，並快速瀏覽文章以尋找相應資訊。第 1 題中，文章指出與羅馬的其他景點相比，塞斯提烏斯金字塔「卻鮮少受到關注（has never attracted nearly as much interest）」，這與題目聲稱其「一直是羅馬最受歡迎的觀光景點之一」直接矛盾，因此答案為「錯誤」。第 2 題中，文章指出塞斯提烏斯下令要求該陵墓工程需在 330 天內完成（ordered that the building work be completed within a period of 330 days）。然而，文章並未說明工程最終是否真的在他逝世前完工，或是出現延誤。由於原文缺乏足夠資訊驗證這項與其逝世時間相關的具體時間範圍，因此答案為「未提及」。學生必須確保題目敘述與原文相符、矛盾還是缺乏足夠資訊，切勿進行無根據的過度推論。

Herbal Medicines

The history of herbal medicines in New Zealand has long featured disagreements of this sort. For the early Maori people—the original inhabitants of New Zealand—the forest was well stocked with edible plants that were an obvious source of nutrition, but that were taken for the relief of pain as well. While the earliest European doctors in New Zealand relied on imported dried herbs, many were keen to include native plants in their practices: in his book published in 1891, herbalist James Neil described manuka and koromiko as among New Zealand’s most valuable herbs. Despite its popularity among some, however, herbalism continued to have its detractors. In 1907 Neil, president of the then very young New Zealand Association of Medical Herbalists (NZAMH), petitioned parliament for legal status for herbalists, but he was unsuccessful. The Evening Post newspaper perhaps summed up the opposing position by claiming that herbalism ‘is obsolete’.

In fact, traditional Maori medicine faced a more determined challenge. In 1908 the government passed a controversial law that had the effect of restricting traditional herbal practice, or pushing it underground. Then for a brief period in the mid-20th century, herbal medicine was largely ignored, shunned by the majority of the medical profession, and absent from medical school curricula. But a centuries-old tradition was not going to disappear so easily, and in the 1980s the NZAMH was revived, and it became possible to complete a course in herbal medicine at several polytechnics around the country. However, the problem remained of how to connect the culture of plant-based medicine with conventional scientific thinking in order to promote herbal use within the general population. For many years, the limited evidence there was that herbal medicines worked was undermined by lack of interest among general practitioners and within the scientific community.

The history of herbal medicines in New Zealand

Originally, the Maori people consumed plants to help deal with 1 ____________, and also as food. When Europeans settled in the country, a 2 ____________ by James Neil showed that some of them also recognised the medicinal value of native plants. However, criticism of herbal medicine appeared in one newspaper in 1907. The following year, the use of herbal medicines was made more difficult because of a new 3 ____________, and for a time in the mid-20th century, they were largely ignored. Then in the 1980s a number of institutions started offering a 4 ____________ in the subject, although for many years there was still little evidence to support their use, because doctors and academics were not interested.

分析：

正確答案分別為：「1. pain」、「2. book」、「3. law」與「4. course」。第 1 題，文章說明對早期毛利人而言，森林植物「不僅是顯而易見的營養來源，也用於緩解疼痛（were an obvious source of nutrition, but that were taken for the relief of pain as well）」，這與將植物作為食物及協助應對疼痛緩解問題的概念相符，因此答案為「pain」。第 2 題，文章提到「in his book published in 1891, herbalist James Neil described manuka and koromiko as among New Zealand’s most valuable herbs（草藥師詹姆斯·尼爾在其 1891 年出版的書籍中，將麥盧卡和科羅米科形容為紐西蘭最有價值的草藥之一）」，表明尼爾的著作展現了原生植物的藥用價值，因此答案為「book」。第 3 題，文章提及 1908 年「政府通過了一項具爭議的法律，其效果限制了傳統草藥的使用（the government passed a controversial law that had the effect of restricting traditional herbal practice）」，對應次年新法規使草藥使用變得更加困難的情境，因此答案為「law」。第 4 題，文章說明 1980 年代「全國各地的多所理工學院也開始開設草藥療法課程（it became possible to complete a course in herbal medicine at several polytechnics around the country）」，符合多家機構開始提供該領域課程的文意，因此答案為「course」。在練習摘要填空題時，學生應先辨識題目中的關鍵字或日期，找出文章的對應段落，並仔細選擇句法結構與語意上皆符合邏輯的單字。

The Costs of Brand Loyalty

A Londoner with a sudden urge for giant African snails could do worse than head to the bustling marketplace in Brixton, a part of south London that is home to many people from Africa. Markets like Brixton Market that cater to migrants are a testament to the fact that people often retain very strong preferences for the kinds of food they grew up eating. Just ask the expatriate Britons who flock to Tea and Sympathy in New York’s Greenwich Village for pots of Marmite, a yeast-based spread whose delights baffle other nationalities (and many of their own compatriots).

A show that London has a multicultural society.

B point out that people grow up eating food from markets.

C give examples of the wide variety of food available in Britain.

D illustrate the way adults enjoy eating food from their childhood.

分析：

正確答案為 D：「闡明成年人如何愛吃自己兒時常吃的食物」。關鍵資訊是第一段的兩個範例，倫敦的移民前往布里克斯頓市場購買非洲巨陸生蝸牛（giant African snails），以及身在紐約的旅外英國人前往「茶與同情」店購買馬麥醬（Marmite），藉此說明「人們往往對從小吃到大的食物保持著極強的偏好」。其他選項都是干擾項：A 錯誤，因為提及布里克斯頓市場（Brixton Market）的非洲社群僅作為食物偏好的背景脈絡，而非以展現多元文化社會（multicultural society）為主要目的；B 為干擾項，因為文章是指出人們在市場購買懷舊食物，而非說明人們從小吃「來自市場的食物（food from markets）」長大；C 錯誤，因為紐約格林威治村（New York’s Greenwich Village）的例子發生於美國，文章並非展示「英國境內」食物的豐富多樣性。面對這類閱讀選擇題，學生應著重於作者提供特定例子的原因，而非只注意細節本身。此外，還需特別留意那些誇大或扭曲文章內容的選項。

The charts below show the land area lost (thousand km²) per one-meter rise and population (million) affected per one-meter rise in sea level in the predicted future. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

分析：

柱狀圖與圓餅圖的組合分析任務著重於比較各地區的絕對數值、標示出全球的極端數值，以及突顯兩項指標間的差異。此處圖表顯示了六個地區在海平面上升一公尺時損失的土地面積（千平方公里）和受影響的人口（百萬）。整體而言，亞洲（Asia）在這兩方面受到的影響均最為嚴重，而大洋洲（Oceania）受到的影響最小。為了有邏輯地分析細節，我們可以比較極值、異常比例與區域模式。亞洲預估損失土地面積最高（45 萬平方公里）與受影響人口（2.5 億），與大洋洲僅 1 萬平方公里及 200 萬人形成鮮明對比。值得注意的是，比較美洲（America）與歐洲（Europe）可看出人口密度影響上的巨大差異：儘管兩者土地損失相近，美洲受影響的人口（7,300 萬）卻是歐洲（1,000 萬）的七倍以上。此外，南非（South Africa和）中非（Central Africa）雖然土地損失相對適中，但受影響的人口數量卻相當高。撰寫文章時，應以邏輯方式歸納這些關鍵特徵，指出極端值、關鍵對比及比例差異，而非逐一列舉數字。同時，使用精準的比較詞彙也很有幫助，例如「stands out as the most impacted（受影響最嚴重）」、「registered the lowest（數值最低）」以及「in sharp contrast to（與…形成鮮明對比）」等。

Some people think accessibility of electronic games on portable devices is harmful to society and individual.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

分析：

這是一篇探討行動裝置上的電子遊戲（electronic games）是否對個人和社會造成危害的作文。同學應採取明確且堅定的立場，即完全贊成或完全反對，並在整篇文章中始終如一地堅持這個立場。從負面影響來看，廣泛接觸手機遊戲可能導致遊戲成癮、眼睛疲勞以及學業或工作效率下降；從正面影響來看，適度遊戲不僅是緩解壓力的便捷途徑，還能提升空間感知能力並增強快速決策的技能。撰寫文章時，同學應從多元角度分析議題，並以具體相關的例子來支持每個核心論點。採用明確的四段式架構最為合適：第一段需明確闡述議題並提出中心論點；第二段從不同層面提出第一個論點；第三段以具體例證展開第二個論點；最後一段簡潔地重申並強化整體立場。

分析：

口說第一部分考的是日常情境中的溝通能力。在回答這些關於天氣（weather）的問題時，同學應避免回答過於簡短，或依賴事先背誦好的答案。相反地，應直接作答，並透過個人細節、理由或反思來豐富回答內容。例如，談論喜歡的天氣時，應明確指出特定的天氣狀況，如涼爽的秋風，並解釋這種天氣如何影響自己的心情（affect your mood）或戶外活動。對於習慣或偏好的問題，如晴天（sunny days）的活動安排，或潮濕（wet）與乾燥（wet）天氣間的選擇，應表明明確的立場，並以合理的理由來支持。同學答題的時候應力求自然、流暢的表達，而非試圖背誦預先練習過的模板。

Describe a live sports event you watched and liked.

You should say:

what it was

when and where you watched it

who you watched it with

and explain why you liked it.

分析：

同學在看到題目後會有一分鐘準備時間，且可以做筆記。作筆記時不需要寫下完整的句子，而是寫下能激發想法的關鍵字和連接詞，例如具體的賽事名稱、現場氣氛、參賽選手或隊伍，以及為何留下了深刻印象。使用如「took place at」、「what stood out most」和「unforgettable」等轉折詞，有助於使結構更為清晰。此外，由於此題目涉及過去的經歷，應主要使用過去簡單式，但在闡述賽事產生的持久影響時，可使用現在簡單式或現在完成式。本題需要講約 2 分鐘，且應流暢地持續發言，直到考官示意停止為止。

分析：

這個階段的口試，需要跳脫個人經驗，探討更廣泛的公共或社會現象。回答關於觀看體育賽事的問題時，同學應闡明明確立場、提供合乎邏輯的論證，並舉出具體例子。關於問題 1，同學可以說明現場觀看體育賽事（watch sports events）如何促進人際聯繫並提供情感宣洩的途徑。關於問題 2 與 3，可以對比線上直播（sports events online）的便利性與現場觀賽的沉浸式氛圍。關於問題 4，運用清晰的轉折詞來組織回答，並探討心理、技術或兒童成長等方面的影響，能展現批判性思考與完善的表達能力。
