参考范文

In order to guarantee the quality of education, many educators propose that students should be entitled to evaluate and criticize their teachers. However, others stand on a different ground. They claim that it will lead to disrespect and a loss of discipline in the classroom.

On the one hand, we cannot deny the fact that students' evaluation can

guarantee the teaching quality to some extent. Conceivably, if teachers receive feedback with regards to their classroom performance from students, they can adjust the contents or styles accordingly for the purpose of meeting the students' needs. In this sense, it not only facilitates the communication between students and teachers, but also improves the quality of education. On the other hand, however, this policy may entail certain downside. Provided that students are emboldened to criticize their teachers without any limitation or regulation, it may end up counterproductive. Immature or disruptive students who do not respect teachers will take advantage of this chance to criticize their teachers or even utter insults. Under such circumstances, it will definitely discourage teachers and disrupt normal classroom activities, which is not advantageous for improving the quality of education at all.

In my point of view, appropriate evaluation about teachers' teaching quality is acceptable, whereas irresponsible criticisms or offensive words, which may afflict teachers' dignity or interrupt classroom order, are neither suitable nor recommendable. In other words, students can be encouraged to give teachers impartial evaluations but it has to be carried out in such a way that causes no trouble to teache r’s normal classroom performance. (257 words 100edu提供) 范文二：

For ages, well-acknowledged observation of the nation has fallen on the outcomes of education and the effective ways of improving the quality of schooling. After reforming educational system, amending textbooks and supervising examinations, authorities and schools convert their attention to teachers’ assessment from students. Some enthusiastically advocate that it can be a feasible method to enhance teaching quality while others raise their doubts on the objectivity. To my best knowledge, I contend that appropriate and objective evaluation from students can prompts teachers’ performance. On one hand, students, as the recipients of teaching, are qualified to assess their teachers. The direct result of teaching is, undoubtedly, students’ scores in tests, but it is subject to students’ mood conditions and learning levels. Therefore, teachers’ performance is supposed to be evaluated with accordance to other indicators like teaching methods, teaching attitudes as well as teaching atmosphere. As a result, students, who have the closest and most frequent interactions, should be the ones giving their opinions and suggestions on their teachers. What’s more, the regular and proper feedback is likely to satisfy the needs of different students. The critical response from all of the students can help teachers have a better understanding of their students, and thus, knowing more about their students’ demand, teachers are able to acquire the expected outcomes and avoid students’ disappointment and teaching failures.

On the other hand, because some of the students are not objective enough, it might cause inaccurate appraisal about their teachers. In other words, some of

the students might dislike a certain teacher for his personalities or other unknown reasons. The extreme emotions, in turn, will naturally influence their comments and the feedback could not be reliable or even worse, could be offensive. Under such situations, teaching evaluation loses its origin functions; rather, it becomes a platform to show students’ disrespect to their teachers.

In summary, a proper assessment system should be built up, and with reasonable comments and valid feedback, it can be an effective practice to improve teaching quality.（启扬）

雅思真题作文+解析(5)

经济全球化对世界的影响 要求： 【题目要求】 Some people think governments should spend money on measures to save languages with few speakers from dying out completely. Others think this is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 【话题分类与题型】 本题是新题，为语言文化类话题与政府决策类话题的结合。题型仍为Argumentation/ Discursive 强制双边。 【话题评价】 这个貌似的新题其实仍然是个老题的变题，语言文化类部分就是要不要保护语言，政府决策类话题就是政府要不要进行投资。如果考生熟悉这两种话题的写法，那么写这篇文章的时候只要进行组合一下就可以了。 政府决策类的题库中，有一大部分题目是围绕政府是否应该对某个行业进行拨款资助来进行的。这些话题往往与其它类别的话题都有结合。例如：与环保类话题结合：要不要保护环境，要不要为动物保护提供资金；与教育类结合：要不要为大学生的学费买单：与科技类结合：科学研究到底是政府还是大公司来承担，是否要进行太空探索；与工作生活健康类话题结合：是否应该为个人的医疗服务买单；与文化艺术类话题结合：是否应该资助音乐家和艺术家。题库中的其它话题还包括：是否应该资助体育运动员，是否应该投资道路建设。今天的题目是政府决策类与语言文化类话题结合，即政府是否应该出资保护语言。这类题目写法有一定的相似性，建议考生将这些相关的话题合并复习。 【类似真题】 1. Every year several languages die out.Some people think that it is not important and that life will be made easier if there are few languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 2. Some people think that we should invent a new language for international communication. Do the benefits of this outweigh the problems? 【结构与思路】 这个题目是语言文化类和政府决策类两种话题的结合，因此本题只要这两种题型的写法合并起来就可以了。前半段讲濒危语言保护的重要性，政府投资保护小语种的意义和优势；后半段讲政府投资的缺点（浪费纳税人的钱，这一点是几乎所有的政府类话题通用的），政府保护也有局限性（保护语言重要的是让更多的人使用，而非投资）。最终的结论是政府投资固然有帮助，但是也应该采取其它措施，诸如制定政策来鼓励更多的人说这些小语种。 I. Introduction： 1. 背景：全球化的使得文化间的联系空前地紧密，但是与此同时也威胁了那些少数人使用的语言的生存。Globalization has been bringing the world closer than ever before. However, it poses a serious threat to the survival of minority languages, which are spoken by few people. 2. 主题：因此有人提出政府应该承担起保护这些小语种的责任，但是反对者则认为这会给政府施加沉重的经济负担。Therefore, some raise the idea that it should be the government that should shoulder the responsibility of preserving these minority languages, while critics maintain that it will impose a heavy financial burden to the

The bar chart illustrates the percentage of adults using the Internet on a daily basis between 2003 and 2006 in the Great Britain according to different ages. The main users of the Internet were young adults aged between 16 and 24 years old. In 2003 and 2004, they shared the same percentage, at 80%. In 2005, this figure increased significantly to 100%, but decreased slightly to 90% in the next year. We can see from the chart that the entire group experienced an upward trend. In the group of 25 to 44 years old, the percentage grew gradually from 50% to 80% between 2003 and 2006. There were similar increases for the group 55 to 64 years old, rising from 30% in 2003 to 50% in 2006. As for the other two groups, although the percentage has a marginal fluctuation, the overall trend went up obviously. In summary, adults between 16 and 44 showed the great need of Internet, nut their percentage declined with time. And Internet gained a growing number of users regardless of their ages. 177 words T2：年轻人与年龄大的人，谁更具有领导能力？ The leaders of directors of organisations are often older people.

Three curves are plotted: those who stayed on the island, those who stayed on cruise ships, and total of all visitors. Overall, the total number of tourists steadily increased. Visitors staying on the island had always been more than those staying on cruise ships until 2016, when visitors staying on cruise ships outnumbered those staying on the island. In 2010, the total quantity of visitors was 1 million, with about 0.75 million staying on the island and 0.25 million staying on cruise ships. After a short fluctuation, the number of visitors staying on cruise ships started to increase continuously at 2012, ending up at 2 million by 2017. The quantity of visitors staying on the island kept stable for the first year, then went up sharply to 1.5 million at 2013 and remained stable for the next 2 years. After a drop of 0.25 million from 2015 to 2016, it rose again and restored to 1.5 million by 2017.

WRITING TASK 1 WRITING TASK 1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 1．The pie charts below show where coffee is produced, consumed worldwide, and where the profits go. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. (2016-01-23) 正确答案：Shown are 3 different pie charts describing coffee. The first shows where it is produced, the second where it is consumed and the last who makes the most profit. With 46%, South America is by far the largest producer of coffee with Central America, Asia and Africa showing 19%, 18% and 16% respectively. Asia follows at the rear with a mere 1%. Looking at the values of coffee consumption in Europe, the US, Japan and “others” , we can see that Japan brings the least amount, 8%, whereas Europe with 44% is nearly as much as the US and “others” put together (22% and 26%). From the last pie chart, we can see that most of the profits end up with the wholesalers, and only 45% is split between the exporters, the producers and the retailers. Overall then, it seems that the most profitable route for coffee is to import from South America and sell it wholesale in Europe. 涉及知识点：小作文（看图作文） 2．The charts below show the disproportions in employment and projections in country A, B and C in 1980 and 2020. Analyse each chart and make comparisons to offer your conclusion. (2016-03-19) 正确答案：There are 3 bar charts that describe primary, secondary and tertiary employment figures in 3 different countries simply known as Country A, Country B and Country C shown as a percentage into different years, the first 1980 and then 2020. Country A shows a slight fall in Agriculture from around 25% in 1980 to approximately 15% in 2020, a larger fall in Industry from over 50% to under 30%, but a threefold increase in Services rising to 60%. Country B has a similar trend to that of A with both Agriculture and Industry falling, but Services reaching over 60%. The last country, C, also follows this pattern where Agriculture halves to 30%, Industry slides only a little from 35% to 25%, but has a dramatic increase in the Services sector from around 5% to a whopping 45%. In summary, we can see crystal clearly that both the primary (Agriculture) and secondary (Industry) areas have fallen in all 3 countries, whereas the tertiary (Services) portion has gone from strength to strength. 涉及知识点：小作文（看图作文） 3．The diagrams below show how an office building looks in the present and its future building plan.

It is more important to include public parks and sports facilities than shopping centres for individuals to spend their free time. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2016-04-23) 正确答案：With the development of new areas, some people feel that it is more important to build sports facilities as well as relaxation areas and greenery, such as parks, rather than places where people can shop in order to pass away their free time. When a new town is developed, it is important to cater for a wide range of people that all might have different ideas on how to spend their weekends or other downtime. Sports facilities can enable people to maintain their health and also interact with their friends when they are playing football for example. These days, certainly in China, more and more people are getting fitter and wish to have the ability to maintain their fitness wherever they live. There are also a lot of people, and I’m referring to the older generations, that would be more content to sit in a park, read a book or maybe have a picnic than anything else. Public parks not only are useful socially, but also contribute in a small way to breaking up the mundane colours of buildings as well as helping the environment. Shopping centres would also be an essential addition to any town. If they were not to exist in the area being created, no one would be able to buy the essentials for their day-to-day requirements. It is also well-known that window shopping is actually a relaxing way to spend time, especially for women. Overall, I would have to say that I disagree with the statement because, I believe, they have an equal level of importance due to the fact that although they might be used by different people, they would be required by all. 涉及知识点：大作文 2．People’s shopping habits depend more on the age group they belong to than any other factors. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2016-04-30) 正确答案：It is thought that people of different ages have different shopping habits and these habits are dependent on which age group they fit into rather than any other demographic factors. For me, it would really depend on what the definition of ‘shopping habit’is, as well as how the age groups are defined. I understand “shopping habits” to be any time you go out and spend money for whatever reason, not necessarily purely for clothes or food. This would include going to restaurants and perhaps the cinema or KTV as well as sports activities. I would probably define the age groups in blocks of 10 years. If this were the case, I can see some arguments that might support this statement due to the fact that people of different ages will buy different things and at different times, but I don’t believe it is solely due to their age.

The bar chart below shows the percentage of boys and girls aged 5-14 in Australia in who participate in various activities during two-week period. 分析： 小作文是柱状图。柱状图要注意数字的归类，这个图应该是前两个activities归一类，因为都是户外。注意不要男女分开写，要注意比较。 注意：题目中的TV其实应该是DVD，感谢考生的考情回顾。 范文： The bar chart compares the popularity of different activities amongst children aged 5-14 by gender within two weeks in Australia. We can see from the bar chart that children prefer indoor activities than outdoor sports. Watching DVD seems to be children’s favorite choice because almost everyone enjoys it. 81% of boys like plying electronic computer games, compared to 62% in girls，group. In the category of cycling，the percentage of boys is still higher than girls' The gender gap in the skating boarding is the smallest. Only roughly 5 per cent of girls take part in the skateboarding. Arts and crafts is the only group (about 20%) that more girls enjoy this activity. To sum up, it is obvious that boys are far more likely to participate in a variety of activities than girls.
