一直以来，运动都是雅思口语的高频话题之一，对运动类话题的考察贯穿口语的Part1,Part2和Part3三个部分。目前对于运动类话题的常考问题包括Part1中的"Do you like sports? What sports do young people in your country like most? Do you do much sport? Do you prefer to do outdoor exercise or indoor exercise?"等；Part2中的"Describe a sport event you took part in or watched on TV. Describe your favourite sport. Describe a sport that you don't like"等；以及Part3中的"Do people in your country do many sports? Do you think schools should give more concentration on sports? Do you think children should do many sports once they have the capacity to do so?"等等。

可以看出，雅思口语对于运动类话题的考察不只局限于对运动本身的描述，同时还注重考察运动带给人们的影响，更重要的是第三部分还考察考生客观分析问题的能力和批判性思维。

当我们讨论到个人最喜欢的运动的时候，要避免一些“俗套”的回答，比如basketball,尤其是男生在说到运动的时候的答案简直统一到令人震惊。这对答题的人来说可能更易回答，但对考官来说这种答案让他非常痛苦。随着雅思考试大军的日益壮大，对于考生口语的要求相应增加了。假设面对两个同样口语水平的考生，考官不再满足于“喜欢篮球”这样的答案，而是更倾向于喜欢那些给出不同回答的考生，这才比较能引起考官的兴趣。

所以，建议考生从以下运动类别里面选择，使回答更新颖：

jogging,tennis,squash,rugby,judo,wrestling,volleyball,golf,tabletennis,badminton,hockey等。

而对于喜欢运动的原因，建议考生跳出固定思维，除了回答"because it can make me healthy"或"I can keep my body healthy"这种大众化的答案外，给出点不一样东西，先不说会不会让考官眼前一亮，起码考官不会把你归为俗套的那一类考生。所以下面给出一些考生可参考借鉴的关于运动的影响的表达。

对身体的好处：

Sports allow people to clear their minds of academic and social pressures, to run off the tension that’s accumulated in their muscles.

Playing sports takes your mind off things that bother you, and afterwards you can concentrate better.

It strengthens heart, lungs, and lower-body muscles and bones.

Because sports increase an awareness of one’s body and how it responds to different circumstances,sports help prevent drug and alcohol abus.

对个人、儿童的好处：

Sports give people a satisfying and enjoyable way to develop their own talents: Doing something well makes them feel good about themselves.

Participation in sports provides opportunities for leadership and socialization,as well as the development of skills for handling success and failure.

Playing sports improve one’s attitude to life because one can learn that confident attitude improves their performance.

Kids who participate in organized sports do better in school, have better interpersonalskills,are more team-oriented,and are generally healthier.

For children,sports are a primary way of socializing with others. Playing sports improve their social skills.

Sports foster a sense of community:they give both participants and spectators the experience of belonging to something larger than themselves.

以上这些运动的影响对任何一部分的题目都是通用的，考生要善于总结和归纳，我们常说要会给自己减负，其实就是考生要会把有限的表达方式灵活运用到无限的题目中去。

易伯华教育从三个部分各自抽取一个问题对上述素材做一个回答，如下：

1. Do you like sports?(Part 1)

Yes! I love sports and I have been keeping doing sports for years. Tennis has long been my favourite and I play tennis at least once a week. I like sports because they allow me to clear my mind of academic and social pressures, to run off the tension that’s accumulated in my muscles.After that, I can concentrate better on my thing.

2. Describe a sport event you took part in or watched on TV.(Part 2)

The day I participated my very first swimming competition during my last year in junior school is a day that I cannot forget for sure. It is unforgettable because I attended this competition only one month after I had been a member of swimming team of my school. I love swimming, but I don't have a thing for competition. Unfortunately, a member of the swimming team got injured so she couldn't attend that competition. The coach contacted me and I agreed. And all because that coach, I cleared my fear of joining a competition as well as that of losing. During the only month, I had to develop my relationship with all members quickly, to adjust my habit and my skills in order to keep pace with other members. During the only month, I found swimming is not only a sport that allows me to clear my mind of academic and social pressures, to run off the tension that’s accumulated in my muscles, but an organized sport that offers me an opportunity to develop my social skill, to give me confidence, and to enhance my skill to handle success and failure.Even though we didn't win that time, I did learn a lot, and I would never forget that competition.

3. Do you think schools should give more concentration on sports? (Part3)

Yes, I think so. First of all, doing sports ensures students a healthier physical and mental condition, because doing sports on a regular basis allows students to clear their minds of academic and social pressures, to run off the tension that’s accumulated in their muscles, which for sure paves a way for a more efficient learning. Second, kids who participate in organized sports do better in school, have better interpersonal skills and are more team-oriented. More importantly, participation in sports provides opportunities for leadership and socialization, as well as the development of skills for handling success and failure.

我们通过上面三个例子可以看出，同样的素材，我们可以用在不同的题目中，考生们可随意对其进行改编，使素材适用于自己的答案。
