【解题思路】基本不同意
●只能看情况给予部分农村学生部分优惠。没错，在很多国家，农村的高中毕业生上大学难——这是多种原因造成的（, which is attributed to many reasons）：自己资质不好或者不努力，考不上大学；教学资源少师资匮乏导致成绩不理想；家庭经济困难，无力支付高昂的大学费用。所以要看情况，对即将受惠的candidates进行调查，看他们是否值得帮助。
●其实，部分城里孩子也面临类似的困难，也需要帮助。如果农村人上大学比他们更容易，则对他们不公平。
●但是大学资源有限，无法保证每个人都能够接受大学教育，所以必须利用有限的资源帮助那些最值得帮助的高中毕业生念大学，不管生源地是城市还是农村。即使农村学生可以更容易考上大学，也很难保证他们将来能够对社会做出相应的贡献；如果真是这样，就没有必要仅仅因为他们是农村人就帮助他们。
●其实，大学教育不是改变命运的唯一方式，也不是每个人都必须去念大学。很多国家，比如中国，并不需要那么多的大学生；相反，这些国家更应该发展中等教育，培养职业技术人才。

【7分解题思路】
题目由because连接，前后是因果关系，不能只写because前而不写后面内容，或只写后面不写前面。观点：之所以认为大学生要付所有学费是因为观点认为社会不如个人受益多，所以我们在写的时候，要将两个方面都写进去：既要说到社会和个人从大学教育受益的问题，也要说到谁付学费的问题。那这两个方面怎么联系起来才自然呢？
我是这样写的。
第一段：（摆出观点）因为大学教育不仅让个人受益，也让社会受益，所以政府和个人应该一起承担学费，但是以个人负担为主。
第二段：（解释为什么大学教育让个人受益，和为什么个人承担学费为主）学生是大学教育最大的受益者。他们在大学获取知识，拿到文凭，变得更加成熟。所以他们理所应当负担大部分的学费。
第三段：（解释为什么社会也从受益，和为什么政府有责任承担一部分的费用）政府有义务支持教育事业的发展，因为大学教育让人们的文化和素质提高，社会也会更加有秩序。在北欧国家，大部分的大学都不收学费。
第四段：（重复强调了第一段的观点）大学让个人和社会都受益，所以政府应该提供一定的财政支持，学生也应该支付一定的学费。
我在每一段都将谁付学费和谁受益联系起来，这样就非常扣题，而且逻辑也非常清晰，每一段都对应了开头的观点逐个说明，这样想走题都难。所以大家写作文的时候，哪怕慢一点，都一定要认真审题，特别要注意逻辑关系！另外，在写的时候要注意举的例子是否能证明主体段的观点，主体段的观点是否能证明你开头段的观点，开头段的观点是否紧扣了题目，这三点缺一不可。
然后就是用一些uncommon但又恰到好处的collocation，和正确的语法。我个人认为我写作7分，除了扣题紧密外，还用了不少别人可能没想到的词汇吧。例如，大学教育提高人的literate ability and citizenship behavior，这些词是我考前根本没想到考的时候会用上的，但是却在写的时候自己冒出来，说明平时的积累才是最靠谱、最安全的。还有一点就是，行文连贯很重要，这个要多注意观察一下外国人写的文章是怎么连接观点与观点的，学习他们的思维方式，说白了这就是个长期的功夫活。

【解题思路】基本不同意
●建议不可行。
●很少证据能够证明影视作品中的暴力场景与暴力犯罪有直接的联系；即使严格审查影视作品，也很难保证社会中的犯罪率下降（需要证据，比如中国）。
●此外，政府很有可能以减少暴力为借口滥用审查制度，影响到影视行业的发展。其实，很多优秀的作品都或多或少含有暴力的成分，这一点在文学创作中也是如此。政府很难界定那些暴力内容需要删除哪些可以保留。最后很可能该保留的删除了，不该保留的内容却通过了审查；或者凡是涉及到暴力内容的全部删除——那样的话，很多历史问题、文学作品或者艺
术作品都不可能搬上荧幕了。

◆Society would benefit from the ban on all forms of advertising because it serves no useful purposes and can even be damaging. To some extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 【解题思路】太绝对，基本不同意
●广告有用，尤其是公益广告（public-interest advertising）
●当然了，部分广告确实有危害，主要是那些虚假广告（false advertising）。
●但是，不能因为部分广告有危害就全盘否定广告业和所有广告。更好的做法是加强对广告的监督和审查（In fact, censorship not banning is more appropriate and effective in solving the problem of false advertising.）
●总之，不应该全面禁止所有形式的广告。毕竟，广告只是一种媒介，用好了可以服务于我们；就像金钱一样，它本身并不是邪恶的（evil）。
◆Customers are faced with increasing amounts of advertising due to the competition among companies. To what extent do you think consumers are influenced by advertisements? And what measures can be taken to protect their interests?
◆Nowadays, some people believe advertising is useful and informative; While others believe advertising gives false information about the products and increases the price of goods. What is your opinion?
◆Radios, television, the Internet and newspapers are popular media in our daily lives. Which one medium do you think has the greatest influence on human’s social life？
◆Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function well if individuals were free to do as they please. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
【解题思路】太绝对，基本不同意
●规则和法律条文也有局限性，某些法规本身就漏洞百出，值得怀疑（需要举证）。
●改变不合理规章制度更有益于社会而不是限制个人自由。某些规章制度只是在保障不合理的利益集团的利益（需要举证）。
●相反，一些看似挑战了制度甚至违反了法律的人实际上可能会促进社会进步（需要举证）。
●所以，应该尽可能用法律保障尽可能多的自由，而不是限制自由，否则，社会很难发展。

【题目解析】
[Body 1]
●保护劳动者利益protect the rights and benefits of laborers
许多劳动者加班得不到应有的报酬，利益受到严重损害。
●减小工作强度 to reduce working strength
胡编个数字：据国际公平贸易组织（Fair Trade）2009年的调查显示：全球约80%的员工处于亚健康状态，超过半数的人经常被迫加班。这对于劳动者的身心均有损害。
[Body 2]
显然，这个做法对员工有积极的影响。
然而，对部分企业，尤其是劳动密集型企业，会造成冲击。这很可能降低他们的利润率甚至国际竞争力。这是因为这些企业的生产成本会因为劳动者待遇的提升而明显增加，产品的价格会相应提高或者很难降下来。当这些公司生产的产品在国际市场上与其他国家生产的产品竞争时会处于不利地位，因为很多国家并没有相关法律，产品生产成本相对较低。很多发展中国家比如，中国和印度，出口大幅增长，就很能说明问题。这些发展中国家的低成本生产很有可能会导致严格执法、保障工人利益的国家相关产业的倒闭。

【解题思路】
●起：内在的推理不成立，建议不可行。
●承：女性领导人的增加是必要的，至少体现了对女性领导才能的认同和尊重；但是这未必能解决战争问题或者减少犯罪。
●转：多数战争、犯罪根源不是男人而是利益冲突（例证）；女性领导不一定带来更多的和平（中国和英国鼎盛时期均有女皇执政历史，但是战争并没有因为女皇而减少），也不能够降低犯罪率。
●合：促进世界和平、减少犯罪需要其他的办法而不是仅仅增加女性领导人数量或者比重。

◆More and more women go out to work, and it is the responsibility of the government to provide free staff and facilities for children of working mothers. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
【解题思路】
●不能因为女性外出工作就为这些家庭提供免费的儿童护理：政府负担太重，女性外出务工创造的财政税收可能无法cover这部分的政府支出。
●这对全职家庭主妇不公平，或许部分全职太太会因此而选择出去工作——这对家庭并不是好事（需要拓展和求证）。
●经过分析发现，这种做法既不利于家庭教育的进行和孩子的健康成长，更不利于国家的长远发展；因此（therefore），这种建议不可行

◆Old generations often hold some traditional ideas on the correct way of life, thinking and behavior. Most young people argue that these ideas are not helpful for the young generations to prepare for modern life in the future. What is your opinion?
【解题思路】
●没错，很多观念都过时了（举证，迷信思想等），很多人便据此否定传统观念。
●但是，全盘否定传统会导致某些年轻人思想混乱，因为他们可能没有任何可以借鉴的观念。
●显然，不能完全否定传统观念，而是批判地继承。年轻人的观念也不一定能适应将来，某些想法还不如传统观念合理。

◆Some employers think formal academic qualifications are more important than life experience and personal qualities when looking for an employee. What are the causes of this phenomenon and do you think this is a positive development?
◆In many countries, good schools and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think new teachers and doctors should work in rural areas for a few years. But others think everyone should be free to choose where they work. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 第一种观点提出的建议不可行；第二种观点在特定的国家特殊的环境值得商榷。
◆Buildings have changed the appearance of cities and towns. Some people believe that we should build all the new buildings in traditional styles to protect the cultural identity. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
【解题思路】建议不可行
●其实，文化的保护不是改变建筑设计就能成功。即使所有建筑都设计成传统样式，很多传统文化现象还是有可能会丢失。
●再说，传统未必好——包括传统建筑（求证）。
●实际上，建筑设计——传统也好现代也好——都反映一种文化定位；我们不仅仅需要保护传统文化——这一点从一定程度上有赖于居住环境，更需要创新发展，谋求现代的文化定位。
也就是说，不仅仅只有传统才值得重视，也不能说传统才有价值。没有现代文明或者无法创造现代文明更可悲。
◆Some people say the history is of no use in our lives while others think we should learn from the history because it helps us understand the present. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
【解题思路】
●持有第一种观点的人估计是看到了这么一个事实：很多文明已经消失了（The assumption that history is of no use for modern lives might be based on the fact that many civilizations have disappeared， for instance, the ancient civilization of Inca in South America, and …）并且所有多文明古国(比如埃及、中国和印度)都已经衰落。这些文明的凋零很有可能是因为他们各自沉重的历史包袱所致。显然，他们认为，历史的所谓的作用对现代生活影响甚微。
●但是，历史往往惊人的相似：很多古人犯过的错误，包括领导人和普通老百姓的错误，仍然在重复。（需要两个例证求证）。因此，学习历史很有可能帮助我们更好地理解当代生活并减少犯错，利国利民。
●不过，学习历史并不意味着人们就自动学会了吸取教训以规避错误，也并不意味着人们能够更好地理解当代。
●此外，很多问题也不太可能在历史中找到对应的解决方案，也就是说历史的贡献是十分有限的。
因此，对待历史需谨慎，最好是持批判、怀疑的态度去学习历史，这样可能会更好的理解现在的问题。
◆In many countries, traditional foods are being replaced by international fast foods. This is having a negative effect on both families and societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
◆The world of work is changing rapidly, so people cannot always depend on one job. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What are you suggestions for job seekers? 因果关系不成立
◆Air transport is increasingly used to export fruits and vegetables to other countries where they cannot be grown or are out of season. Some people believe that this is a good thing, but others consider this use of air transport cannot be justified. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
◆Cars cause many problems. What are these problems? Should we discourage people from using cars?
◆Scientists agree that junk food is harmful for health. Some believe that people should be educated not to eat so much junk food. Others think education will not work. Discuss both sides.
◆In some countries, small town-centre shops are out of business because people are driving to large out-of-town stores. As a result, people without cars have limit access to shops, which may result in the increase in the use of cars. Do you think the disadvantages of this development outweigh the advantages?

环球雅思词汇基础完整版
雅思写作中对词汇的要求 很多考生把词汇当成是雅思写作的一道难以逾越的鸿沟，那么雅思写作对词汇到底是什么要求？我们要掌握多少词汇量才能够达到雅思写作的标准呢？雅思考试要求考生的词汇量在8000以上，而这其中有三分之一指的是阅读中的一些高难词汇或专业词汇，对于我们写作而言，能够灵活高效地运用5000词汇就已足够。英文核心词（约2000左右） 首先，我们要来看一下雅思写作对于词汇的要求。 Lexical Resource 1. Accurateness 2. Authentic vocabulary 3. Variety 我们来一一分析者三点，第一点是准确性；第二点式地道词汇的使用；第三点是词汇多样性。 很多学生都是可以追求了第三点而忽视了第一和第二点。这直接导致的结果就是虽然作文中出现了一些水平比较高的词汇但是由于自己并不能用的得心应手结果出现适得其反的效果，把好的词汇用在了不恰当的地方.由于一心想要在词汇上标新立异，但是能标新立异的单词又不能准确运用，因此在写作过程中会浪费很多时间去思考. 有时候记不清楚但是不写出来似乎又不甘心，于是花更多时间去思考，或者写了一个认为是正确的实际上却写错的单词。而这些都是对分数有直接影响的。 大家要知道，大作文除了词汇要求，还有语法要求，和小作文相比，大作文更重要的是你有没有切题的观点和清晰的文章结构。在保证这两点的基础上再去思考词汇的出色应用才是正确的选择。就好比是你画一幅建筑设计图，没有框架，没有设计核心，你用的材料再好，也不会达到预期的目标。 所以我认为并不是词汇量少就一定写不出高分文章. 大家再复习考试时不要刻意的去追求词汇多样化. 熟练准确的运用单词比生拼硬凑好单词更重要。 雅思写作训练方法 1 精读仔细阅读范文，欣赏并标出精彩的用词和句型，体会上下文中 表达的精妙，提高对精彩语言的敏感度，要多写，多记。 2 背诵背精彩词汇，背精彩句型，背精彩句子，背精彩框架，背精彩 段落，通过背诵完成从欣赏到掌握的过程，别人的变成自己的。 3 默写将背过的句子，段落默写下来，检查核对，看看是否精确掌握 了每一个词汇。Reading makes a full man writing makes an exact man 4 互译英文----中文; 中文------英文，---与原文核查核对，发现自己 不足，纠正提高。使自己逐步写出规范的语言达到和原文作者相似的水平。 5 效仿在范文中学到的单词，词组，句型，框架放在新的语境下模仿 创作，造句写作。在新的作文中保留一定闪光点。 雅思写作必背200句！

The government has to pay for his care. Who should be responsible for our old people? Give reasons for your answer. Example 2 Band 8 One of the most challenging problems of today’s society is the question about who should be responsible for our old people. It is not only a problem with money but also a question of the system we want our society to have. In my essay, I would like to present four possible models. Firstly, the company could be responsible for its retired employees. To do this, a special fund could be established. The advantage of this model is that if one believes in the capitalist system, it should be the cheapest solution. One possible problem is that the companies may have competition disadvantage due to higher staff costs. A second solution is that the government has to take the responsibility for the old people’s care. It can finance this with its tax in comes. Actually, this is the most democratic model since everybody gets as much money as he or she needs. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this solution seems not to work very well.
雅思写作冲刺讲义
雅思写作冲刺 时间：一个小时，无法超时 上午九点考试，写作往往是11点开始考。一般学生考到这里的时候就蒙了。雅思写作考试是国内考试时间最长的一个，比托福等都长。 图表作文只占了1/3的分数，那议论文就占了2/3。 G类也要按A类要求去做。 Academic writing 的特殊要求 1.Some teachers don't know how to use computers to help the students effectively. 不能用缩写，凡是用了缩写的都是业余选手，专业选手必须要用，do not.. Shouldn't 也是错的，特别提醒大家，cannot 中间没有空格。如果你不相信我说的话，我建议你可以翻下剑5剑6，一个缩写你都找不到。 2.Historic buildings attracts lots of visitors and can improve local economy. 大家觉得哪个是口语词汇。其中lots of 是特别口语化词汇，可以用numerous或者a host of 这两个单词修饰可数名词。A great deal of 不可数。 3.The impact of tourism on these neighbourhoods should be analyzed. 下次你看到任何-ze 结尾的都是美式英语，-se 结尾的都是英式英语，而这里的neighbourhood 是英式英语，而neighborhood是美式英语，有些同学会问是不是雅思考试当中只能用英式英语呢？不是这样的，在剑桥6中明确说了可以用英语或美式，但两者不能混合使用。我建议大家-our -se 是英式的，-or -ze 是美式的，这两者的区别是最常见的，其他的我们就没有必要掌握了。 4.Children in wealthy families are more and more depend on their parents.这里哪里不像学术写作呢。More and more ,给大家推荐一个词，increasingly. 5.Serious crimes harm people's lives. 雅思针对的母语是非英语的人，大家看考官的作文也不是很难。但这里serious 高中词汇，crime harm 初中词汇，people 和life 就是小学词汇了，给大家推荐一个severe, criminal act, damage destroy, impair people's health, human being 这个词太大，不建议使用，individual 6.The advantages of stopping animal experiments are more than continuing them.其中more than 换成outweigh 7.Today, advertisements are everywhere. There are many ways to advertisements. 简单句不适用，中间加个连词即可。 8.The environment is becoming worse. We must work together to deal with it. 因果关系，加because 就很一般了哈，加个therefore. 9.So, we must take steps to deal with the environment problem! So 换成therefore,大家在写作中，千万不要用这么有激情的句子哈，好的雅思作文必定是冷静推理的来的，所以，感叹号去掉，还有，must 换成should. 10.We must be friendly to others because the Bible said, "treat your neighbours as you would like to be treated." 不能出现宗教语言。 大作文，40分钟，最低要求240字，要求考高分的同学，建议270-280，7分以上的同学，我建议300字以上。 大家刚看了雅思真题库，不知道大家判断出了自己认为难的部分。但是如果没有素材的话，你再好的基础都无法体现出来。 Tourism Education Government Women and families Language and culture Technology and the media Development and globalization Crime Animals Environmental problems 雅思不会出时事类的话题，只出争议比较大的话题。 常见的词汇，常见的句式都可以通用。 推荐大家掌握思考方法 A.分类法

Government should pay for the health care and education. Do you agree or disagree? Health care and education can always attract enough public attention, for they are closely connected with people’s welfare. Some people suppose that it is government’s duty to shoulder the responsibility for those two important aspects. As far as I am concerned, I am in total favor of this opinion. Initially, the government’s fundamental principle of serving the people justifies this obligation. There is no denying that the significance of government lies in the fact that this organization can better people’s life, and meanwhile the health care and education can best illustrate living standards. Therefore, inevitably, government should pay for those significant fields to fulfill its promise for people. Moreover, the taxes collected from citizens determine that government should stick to this duty. It is clear that government has levied a large amount of money from its citizens in the hope of striking a balance in society and if poor people fail to enjoy a qualified medical service and receive excellent education, what is the significance of heavy taxation? Consequently, as for health care and education, government ought to take the responsibility, ensuring all the people, especially the needy to be equally treated. On the other hand, it is highly probable that government has been too overburdened financially. For example, among other responsibilities, traffic jam, poverty and crime are up to national or local authorities to solve, which are usually confronted with budget problem. However, if suitable policies can be pursued and efforts form various fields can

SAT写作范文 Abraham Lincoln said, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." In other words, our personal level of satisfaction is entirely within our control. Otherwise, why would the same experience disappoint one person but delight another? Happiness is not an accident but a choice. Assignment: Is happiness something over which people have no control, or can people choose to be happy? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. My Essay: Happiness is an elixir to all diseases, so everyone wants happiness and most of them think that it comes from success. But even if we fail something, we can still choose to be happy. Last year, our school held a basketball competition. Our class had entered into the semi-final and all the students in our class were very excited. Moreover, we had just beaten the team which was considered the best in our grade and my classmates were hopeful that we might enter the final game. On the day of the semi-final, the players of our team went to the field in our cheers. But as soon as we saw the members of the other team, we knew it would be a hard match. One of the players in their team is as tall as 1.93 m, much taller than any of our players and we also learned that their team was the only one which hadn’t lost a single game. The match started. To our disappointment, our team wasn’t playing well, and the best player in our team was followed by the tallest in theirs at every pace. Anxious and worried, we girls jumped onto the platform beside and shouted at the top of our voices. After sometime, it seemed that our cheers had gave my classmates some energy and they began to catch up, slowly but gradually, we were only two points behind. But just at that time, the first ten minutes were over and we came to a stop. The players were tired but hopeful, and we kept cheering them. However, when the match started again, our opponents seemed to become stronger. They got more points and we were soon eleven points behind. Meanwhile, our throats were burning, but we kept shouting for our classmates. Though we caught up some points, at last we lost by only one point. When we got back to the classroom, all of my classmates were disappointed and sad. One of the players even cried. But our teacher came in at that moment and said, “Cheer up everyone, we just lost by one point and we are already the top four. We still have a match and let’s get the third place!” Then one of my classmates suddenly went to the dais and wrote something encouraging on the blackboard and one by one, over ten of our classmates all

You should say: Whose wedding it was; When it was held; What happened on the ceremony; And what’s your feeling about it. 中国的饮食文化源远流长，谈到饮食，我们应该有丰富的话题材料，可以滔滔不绝、侃侃而谈。但是很可惜，因为缺乏相关的词汇和表达方法，不知道如何去描述一些中国特有的食物,很多考生在这个话题上变得张口结舌；或者想当然地创造一些词汇，把考官谈得一头雾水。在描述婚礼的话题时，也因为词汇的障碍，无法描述一些传统的风俗和文化。在准备这些具有较浓文化特征的话题时，考生首先应充分准备相关词汇与表达法。另外，在一些较难的话题上，可以巧妙地换一个角度去描述，或者干脆尽量少涉及。毕竟，我们很难在短短几分钟内让一个外国人完全了解明白一些他从来没有经历过或无法想象的东西。Rome wasn’t built in a day 。文化的相互交流和理解需要一些时间，在考场上，我们就尽量化繁为简吧！ 描述一次特别的晚餐或聚会，或者一次参加过的婚礼，考生可参考下列提纲： ● When did you have the meal / join the wedding? ● Where was it held? ● Who took part in the meal/wedding? ● What did the people do at the meal/wedding? ● What was special about the meal /wedding? ● What impressed you deeply? ● Why do you think it’s a special meal /wedding?

雅思精讲阅读班精讲班第7讲讲义
雅思精讲阅读班精讲班第7讲讲义 Questions 22-24 What is a dinosaur? A. Although the name dinosaur is derived from the Greek for “terrible lizard”, dinosaurs were not, in fact, lizards at all. Like lizards, dinosaurs are included in the class Reptilia, or reptiles, one of the five main classes of Vertebrata, animals with backbones. However, at the next level of classification, within reptiles, significant differences in the skeletal anatomy of lizards and dinosaurs have led scientists to place these groups of animals into two different superorders: Lepidosauria, or lepidosaurs, and Archosauria, or archosaurs. B. Classified as lepidosaurs are lizards and snakes and their prehistoric ancestors. Included among the archosaurs, or “ruling reptiles”, are prehistoric and modern crocodiles, and the now extinct thecondonts, pterosaurs and dinosaurs. Paleontologists believe that both dinosaurs and crocodiles evolved, in the later years of the Triassic Period (c. 248-208 million years ago), from creatures called pseudosuchian thecodonts. Lizards, snakes and different types of thecondont are believed to have evolved earlier in the Triassic Period from reptiles known as eosuchians. C. The most important skeletal differences between dinosaurs and other archosaurs are in the bones of the skull, pelvis and limbs. Dinosaur skulls are found in a great range of shapes and sizes, reflecting the different eating habits and lifestyles of a large and varied group of animals that dominated life on Earth for an extraordinary 165 million years. However, unlike the skulls of any other known animals, the skulls of dinosaurs had two long bones known as vomers. These bones extended on either side of the head, from the front of the snout to the level of the holes in the skull known as the antorbital fenestra, situated in front of the dinosaur’s orbits or eyesockets. D. All dinosaurs, whether large or small, quadrupedal or bipedal, fleet-footed or slow-moving, shared a common body plan. Identification of this plan makes it possible to differentiate dinosaurs from any other types of animal, even other archosaurs. Most significantly, in dinosaurs, the pelvis and femur had evolved so that the hind limbs were held vertically beneath the body, rather than sprawling out to the sides like the limbs of a lizard. The femur of a dinosaur had a sharply in-turned neck and a ball-shaped head, which slotted into a fully open acetabulum or hip socket. A supra-acetabular crest helped prevent dislocation of the femur. The position of the knee joint, aligned below the acetabulum, made it possible for the whole hind limb to swing backwards and forwards. This unique combination of features gave dinosaurs what is know as a “fully improved gait”. Evolution of this highly efficient method of walking also developed in mammals,
