雅思官方指南Official Guide是一本被雅思考生低估的书籍，因为在这本书里官方为大家详细解释了如何考，考什么，怎么拿高分，避免被扣分等等详尽的内容；特别是在part3这个最让大家头疼和纠结的部分中，官方也早早地做了以下的说明：
Part 3重要吗？
官方陈述：
If you are aiming for a higher-level score above Band 6, you need to focus much of
your presentation time on managing the challenges in Part 3 of the test.
Simon解读：口语要拿6分及其以上，Part3一定是考查重点！
Part 3怎么考？
官方陈述：
In part 3 of the speaking test, you will have a conversation related to the part 2 topic
The topic in part 3 will be related to the topic of your long turn in part 2, and the long turn is a personal story, and in part 3, you will be asked to have a general discussion on a related topic.
Part 3 of the speaking test is the most challenging, and it is here that higher-level candidates have the opportunity to communicate more complex ideas and use a wider range of language structures and vocabulary to express general, rather than personal ideas.
Simon解读：Part3基于Part2的话题而来，考的更加抽象和具体，问题难度趋于多结构和复杂化，对单词和表达的要求也更高，需要使用复杂的语法结构。
Part2和Part3的考题对应关系举例：
Part3考什么？
官方陈述：
In the part 3, you will be asked by the following types of questions, including
List items: this is often the opening question
Compare: old vs young; men vs women; the past vs the present
Speculate about future changes: in technology, in communication
Give your personal opinion: some people think that xxx, do you agree that xxx?
Give your reasons for your opinion: why do people do xxx?
Simon解读：Part3在5-6分钟左右的时间内考六种题型，分别是列举listing，对比comparison，臆想speculation, 改变change，个人意见personal opinion和原因reasons。而Simon在我的课程体系里会把这六种题目分成三大类做一个家谱family tree式的解读和分析。
Part 3怎么拿高分？
官方陈述：
In part 3 of the speaking test, it is especially important to try to extend your answers
Answer the question directly
Ask yourself why or how (and explain in details)
Share some evidence or give an example
Perhaps mention in an alternative or opposite answer
If it is relevant, share some of your experience too
Simon解读：在直接回答完问题后，要从多个角度去支撑你的观点，包括了解释，举例，反证，对比和效果，回答逻辑要凸显出起承转合的变换。
遇到不会的Part 3怎么办？
Part 3是考内容吗？
官方陈述：
If the examiner asks you to discuss a topic that you are not familiar with, do not be afraid to say this is a topic you have not thought that before. Do this and then try to think through the topic from different solutions, etc. IELTS is not a test of your knowledge, it is a test of your communication ability. The test isn’t necessarily assessing what you say (though it must be relevant to the question), but how you say it.
Simon解读：如果考试内容这么重要，为什么没有第五项评分标准来评价你的内容说的好不好呢？有些考生绞尽脑汁非要想出多么与众不同的观点显得非常高大上，而事实是No one cares！这毕竟是一个语言能力考试而不是工作面试哦，考官的工作和打分过程就是根据四项评分标准来逐一给出加分或者扣分，分别是fluence & coherence 流利度和连贯程度；lexical resources 词汇；grammatical range and accuracy 语法范围和准确度以及pronunciation features 发音特征。
Simon神奇的六边形
简单来说，六边形就是六个角度（请注意，不是六句话的意思）去支持，这也是雅思官方在评分标准解读中对考生的支持，包括了：reasons 原因；effects 效果；comparison 对比；supporting examples 举例；personal experience 个人经验；而Simon把他们有机地整合成了能够迅速用出来的六边形思维：
