Sample answer：
Thank you very much for the topic. It’s kind of tough to talk about someone’s own personal characteristics as I believe, the way we judge ourselves differs from the perspective (观点)other people judge us. Nonetheless, we all have our own idea about our own characteristics and I would like to talk about my ability to stay calm even in the time of distress(危难).
I am not hot tempered and I try to remain clam no matter how severe(严峻的) the situation and I find it as a helpful characteristics. From my own experience I can say that, whenever I got very much vibrated and acted very promptly(迅速地) without giving much consideration about the situation, I did not take the right decision and I repentance(后悔) for that.
In my opinion that should be a common characteristics among other people but my personal experiences sometimes contradicts(反驳) my opinion as I often find people who can’t remain calm in adverse(有害的) situation and act very weirdly(古怪地). So to say, this is not a rare quality but many people lack it.
Remaining calm and using brain rather than the tongue(舌头) is a helpful characteristic as it would help you taking the right decision and would show you the right way and course of actions. Being very fragile(弱的) in action and taking prompt decision without thinking can sometimes lead us to misunderstanding and can ruin (摧毁)relationship. Not being able to remain calm also shows your weakness and that often allure(诱导) you to take a completely wrong decision.
To me this is a very important characteristic. This quality has saved me from making many mistakes and saved me from lamenting later on. Being able to remain calm in an adverse situation helps me taking the right decision and that’s something which I find very helpful in my personal and professional life.

3雅思口语描述人物话题技巧
首先，描述人物前考生要确定一件事，就是你的人物从何说起。当然我们要把题目中要求的都包含在内，除此之外，考生们要建立起一个结构，即人物结构，包括背景信息、人物外貌、人物性格、主要成就、吸引你的特质等。
就背景信息而言，很简单，就是简单介绍一下这个人是谁、跟你的关系、年龄、职业、过往经验等等，一切跟话题和你主要想表达的内容有必要联系的都可以介绍一下。考生们要懂得取舍，一个考生描述的是一个老人，且主旨是在表达老人的乐观，想通过老人参加二战身负各种伤依然笑对自己的伤疤和所受的煎熬的例子来论证，那这个考生完全可以提一下老人的年龄、职业和过去的故事，来渲染老人乐观的态度。而如果一个考生想要描述老人有创新精神，每天沉迷于研究小发明等，则也许没有必要说出老人的职业和过往经验等。一切信息说与不说，都是可选择的，全都在于考生选择主要信息的能力。
当人物被引出，接下来就需要考生将人物的基本特征介绍给考官了。这里老师要提醒考生注意的是，介绍外貌应避免俗套的一些表达，比如：She’s tall and thin, and she has two big eyes. Her hair is long and black. 这样的表达只能使你的分数停留在5分，甚至更低。其实描述人物外貌的方式有很多，首先在描述人物身材的时候，tall and thin已经俗不可耐，tall还尚可，thin本身是个贬义词，意为削瘦的，稀落的。在夸一个人瘦的时候，外国人通常不用thin，而是用slim(苗条的)来表达。其次，two big eyes在英语国家里并不常用，基因原因big eyes并不是大多数西方人关注的重点，所以这种表达可能会让考官不明所以，无法感同身受。
再者，关于头发，描述方法有很多种，比如thin hair头发稀，wavy hair 卷发，波浪发，curly hair 卷毛，straight hair 直发，bald 秃顶的，dishevelled hair凌乱的头发。其实考察考生描述人物外貌描述的好不好，关键是看考生能否让考官听后抓住人物的特色、对人物留下印象。这需要考生选取一些有特色的地方来描述，让考官印象深刻。比如面部特征：freckle 雀斑，dimple 酒窝，oval face 鸭蛋脸，big-featured 五官较大的，double-chinned 双下巴的，high-cheek-boned 颧骨很高，sharp-featured 五官分明的，well-featured 五官端正的，pimpled 有粉刺的，wrinkled 起皱纹的，high-bridged nose 高鼻梁，bright eyes明亮的眼神，broad face 宽脸，clean-shaven face 面庞清爽干净等。考生只有说出与以上这些类似的细节特征才能抓住听者的兴趣，令读者印象深刻，否则做无用功。
描述完外貌，性格是人物类话题最必不可少的内容，一般我们通过描述性格及事件来突出人物值得借鉴学习的地方，所以对于人物性格描述更不可落入俗套。比如很多考生描述朋友就只会用friendly、kind、nice等，其实有很多词都可以表达友好、友善，比如amicable、amiable、benign等。
可以描述人的特质的加分表达有：aspiring 有志气的，有抱负的，dynamic 生机勃勃的，enthusiastic 热心的，faithful 守信的，忠诚的，frank 坦率的，forceful (性格)坚强的，honest 诚实的，humorous幽默的，independent 有主见的，industrious 勤奋的，trustworthy可信赖的，sincere 真诚的，motivated 有动力的，responsible 负责任的，determined 坚定的，cooperative 合作的，strong-willed 意志坚定的等。考生可从以上词汇中挑选，并选择合适的故事进行包装，进而突出人物特点。
在对人物的外貌、性格等特征描述完之后，接下来就需要考生搜集素材，通过一个个事例来把人物丰富起来，而具体选择什么样的事例、如何叙述，就需要看考生的逻辑能力和对于连贯性的把握了。但只要考生能迈出打破陈规的第一步，接下来的布局谋篇，就顺利得多了。所以，从现在起，考生们就应开始重新选择人物，重新思考，重新选择人物特点和表达方式，方能打动考官，得到满意的分数。
雅思口语如何描述人物话题
关键一：思路-形容词具体化
不难发现，这个话题的关键词是“polite”,就像an interesting neighbor, a good parent,这些话题一样，考官让大家描述的这些话题都凸显出其人物的性格特点。而这些性格特点往往在我们在日常生活中最容易被忽略。因为中文的语言思维会让我们在聊天时对某一个人的性格下结论，而非延伸出来聊为什么你认为这个人有礼貌或是他怎么有礼貌。所以思维的差异是难点之一。
其次形容词是一类很空洞的词汇，举个例子，任何一位出色的小说家都不会写“公主善良，王子英勇，然后他们幸福的生活在一起了。”这样的故事，因为没有说服力，也不会有读者买账。但是如果你说“公主善良，她经常给穷人分发食物;王子英勇，他曾经单枪匹马战胜恶龙”，这样的故事就很有说服力，因为性格因具体而真实可信，而这里就是运用了例子在论证形容词。所以，人物类话题的描述，尤其涉及到性格特点这块，我们需要添例子。有礼貌的具体体现比如：
· He always says thank you to people, even for the slightest things.
· When we eat at a restaurant, he would say ‘thank you’ to the waiters and waitresses every time they bring a dish to the table.
· Whenever he gets off a taxi, he would always say ‘thank you’ to the driver.
· He might make a comment about how nice someone’s looking, or how good their cooking is.
关键二：语言-举例的表达方式
解决了思路上的bug,我们再来看看语言上的，既然我们需要举例来描述人物的性格，那么举例的表达储备，我们有多少呢?除了常规的表达，比如for example, for instance,take something or somebody as an example, 我们还需要一些句型来为高分添砖加瓦，因为句型也是雅思口语评分标准之一，以下就是列举：
1. Just to give you an example……
2. Another example would be that…….
3. One other thing to mention would be that……
所以解决完这个话题的思路和语言，我们将所有的要素结合起来，再添一些关于人物的基本信息的细节描述，组织成一篇答案，大家注意例文中标黄色的句型运用：
Well, the person I’d like to talk about is a good friend of mine called Nick. He must be one of the most polite people I know, which I’ll come to explain in a moment.
But firstly, as for how I know him, well, we’ve basically known each other since primary school, because we were in the same class and we still see each other quite frequently. You know, if I feel like going out and doing something, I normally give him a call and see if he’s free to meet up.
And moving on to why I think he’s so polite, well it’s basically because he’s just got really good manners. And just to give you an example, he always says thank you to people, even for the slightest things. For instance, I’ve noticed that whenever we’re eating at a restaurant, he would thank the waiters and waitresses every time they bring a dish to the table. And another example would be that whenever he gets off a taxi, he would always say thank you to the driver, which a lot of people probably think isn’t necessary, but I’m sure the taxi drivers really appreciate it.
So yeah, that’s basically why I’d say he’s such a polite person, and one other thing to mention would be that he’s always very complimentary to people. For example, he might make a comment about how nice someone’s looking is or how good their cooking is, which I know might be seen as being a bit insincere, but I think he genuinely means what he says, at least most of the time anyway!
So, that’s pretty much it, I suppose.
