【话题评价】
题目难度可见一般，相信很多考试拿到题目的时候的第一反应会是怎么这么幸运，最近的雅思口语考题真是题目的变化多端，难度有所加大，综合能力的考察更是体现的尤为明显，就那这道题目为例，考生的第一反应是对著名建筑物如故宫，对词汇要求甚是严苛.长城，相对流行，难度适当，反而在同一考场出现频率较高，会形成鲜明对比，成绩就会表现平平。鉴于此，中国的历史建筑物都会有此类难题，对于词汇匮乏的学生真是难上加难，其实有些建筑物还是可以源于生活又高于生活的，比如我们今天要讨论的四合院。

【参考范文】 
Before the 1980s, most Beijingers lives in courtyard buildings called “siheyuan”. But now living in a courtyard building is kind of a status symbol in Beijing coz it’s spacious and super comfy.
A small or medium-sized siheyuan usually has its main gate built as the southeastern corner of the courtyard with a screen wall just inside. Such a residence offers space, comfort and privacy. It’s also good for protection against dust storms. With all plants and flowers, the court is also a sort of garden.
In the past , from the size and style, one could tell whether it belonged to average individuals or the powerful and rich. Siheyuan are delightful buildings to live and work in. the courtyard itself can be a thing of beauty coz it can serve as a “light-well” for daylight to come in .
These days, siheyuan are pretty much private oases from the noise of urban life
