2008年11月雅思考生写作必看最近全球经济江河日下,许多朋友心情不是很开,想当年意气风发,现在却是节衣缩食,甚至波及留学市场。
其实小新在这里一直是留学市场的"巴菲特",就是"别人在最恐惧时我贪婪,别人在最贪婪时我恐惧。
"现在的留学拿澳洲为例,平均学费由于汇率的关系一年至少省下5万人民币,再加上生活费8万至少,两年(通常硕士的学期)就会在16万。
英国也很爽的,一年也会省下近6万,说不定到你留学的时候会省得更多。
在经济危机的时候,与其作一份工资微薄的工作,还不如选择性价比更高的留学,待到学成时,很可能已等到"柳暗花明"时。
所以现在大家如果想圆留学梦的时候,应该毫不犹豫地前行。
11月份的雅思考试并不会像天气和金融那么寒冷,10月份的2号球连考两次,短期可能性已不大。
3号球和1号球最为可能出现在11月,同时稍加预防5号球。
但是个人觉得1号球甚至必考,这是澳洲的信息,大家不得不认,3号球关键是两段论:From physical to mental。
小作文个人觉得今年的最后一次流程图可能会出现,因为十二月份几乎是一个从不考偷袭题型的月份,那么我们就可以看看我流程图最的总结,每月都提及,不再细说。
练习的大作文:1)The world of work is changing rapidly, so people cannot always depend on their jobs. What are the reasons ofsuch phenomenon and offer some measures to solve it.2) The main purpose of libraries is to provide books, therefore they should not use limited resources and space and should be replaced by computer software, DVDs etc. Do you agree or disagree?3) Lectures were used in the past as an old way of teaching a large number of students. As new technology is now available for education, some people suggest that there is no justification for lectures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?4) Some people think government should invest in art, but others think it should finance health care and education. Discuss and give your opinion.【资料精选,适合职场人士使用借鉴参考。

2008年雅思移民类书信写作话题总结纵览2008 年的24 次雅思移民类考试,不难发现,书信类写作的话题仍主要围绕生活和工作场景展开,其中生活场景中朋友之间交流和相互邀请的书信话题占了很大的比重,而以往常考的投诉类书信的比例则有明显下降。
相对于投诉信这类正式文体书信,像友情信这样的半正式或者非正式文体书信比例的上升,对于移民类考生在语言表达方面的要求相对会宽松些,因此全年书信类写作的整体难度不大。

2008年雅思阅读真题话题总结:自然科学类雅思阅读考试话题的多样性一直是很多考生准备雅思的一大难题。
在2008年全年雅思考试结束之际,我们有必要回顾一下08年全年考察的阅读话题,以便考生在以后的备考过程中有的放矢。
08年的雅思阅读话题相当的丰富,除了贴近生活的一些话题之外,考生还需要有天文、地理、生物、语言学、教务学等等学科的背景知识才能够在考试过程中游刃有余,取得理想的成绩。
本文中笔者将从雅思阅读自然科学类和人文社科类两大类话题着手,分析08年雅思阅读考试的重难点话题。
首先是自然科学类。
08 年的阅读考察自然科学类主要集中在生物,自然地理,以及环境能源等三大块儿内容上。
生物类是雅思考试常考不衰的话题。
08年的考试中生物类出现过常考的有关黄蜂wasp,鲸鱼等的文章。
除此之外还有大鹿的灭绝和原因,恐龙的灭绝等文章。
在此需要提醒考生注意的是,英联邦国家的一些比较有特色的动物是雅思考试比较喜欢考而考生比较不熟悉的一块领域,如我们3月1日的考题“Koala Research”,8月21日的考题“Australian Parrot”。
除了动物之外,当然也会考到很多植物类的文章,如5月31日的植物生存手段,9月13日的植物种子传播方式,7月5日的松树,8月9日的“Seeweeds in New Zealand”,5月22日的“Banana Plantation”等等,考生同样要给予关注。
自然科学类的另一大出题频繁区域就是自然地理类。
这类话题会涉及到一些比较专业的词汇。
考生如有相关背景知识则可以在考试中更加快速地了解文章内容,定位到答案位置。
如地质类的题目中的热点话题之一“厄尔尼诺现象”,08年4月19日的考试中有所涉及。
厄尔尼诺现象又称厄尔尼诺海流,是太平洋带大范围内海洋和大气相互作用后失去平衡而产生的一种气候现象,是沃克环流圈东移造成的,常用于表示在秘鲁和厄瓜多尔附近几千公里的东太平洋海面温度的异常增暖现象。

2008年雅思学术类议论文写作话题总结(上)从全年看,2008 年大作文主要考题仍然以教育为主话题, 虽然其它话题如居住环境、旅游、高科技、代沟、传媒影响等没有什么大的变化, 但具体的题型和出题的侧重点更加变化多端,有些考题,如果要在考场上短时间内要联系到以前准备的话题,的确不是易事。
一,提问方式稳重有变首先从提问方式上看,今年的变化不大,以复杂双边讨论为主。
单边议论也有,但不是很多。
值得注意的是,今年 3 月 1 日的考题中出现了一道考生不是非常熟悉的提问形式,给定几门功课,让考生从中选取课改后值得保留的科目。
这种多选题形式的考题形式出现的不多,所以可能会给考生造成一定的压力。
08.03.01Most countries spend much money on education, as they start to realize the importance of education. In your opinion which two subjects are the most important for young people and which one is the least important?subjects:Literature SportsMathematics EconomicsPhysics HistoryMusic GeographyPhilosophy Foreign languages此外,08 年 2 月16 日也出现了一道比较新颖的题目,该题的背景介绍为一句名人名言,也是不多见的形式。
不过该题并没有给考生的审题带来太大的障碍,因为后面的提问句的表述还是非常简洁清晰的。
08.02.16“Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.”- US movie actor & director John WayneWhy is it important for individuals and countries to think about the future rather than focusing on the present?二,教育类话题仍为核心考点从话题方面看,以往的高频话题依然是今年的主打,如教育与就业、高科技与发展、环境与污染、犯罪问题等。
其中教育类话题就占到了全年所有话题的三分之一。
教育类话题一直是雅思学术类( A 类)议论文的考场重点,但08 年所考察的教育类话题与07 年的教育类话题相比稍有不同:07 上半年反复考到教育与高科技的结合,下半年考的多是政策等与教育的关系,而08 年更侧重于具体的教学方法和青少年的教育问题。
前者如group study 和study alone 的选择(08 年 3 月30 日) 、rote learning 的利弊(08 年12 月 6 日)、secondary education (08 年1 月26 日)或者理论与实践课的取舍和就业的关系(08 年7 月5 日)等;后者主要有小孩利用电视或PC 学习的利弊(08 年5 月10 日) 、是否要完全服从大人或者老师(08 年6 月21 日)等。
08.01.26In countries where there is a high rate of unemployment, most pupils should be offered only primary education. There is no point in offering secondary education to those who have no hope of finding a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?08.05.10Children can learn efficiently by watching television. Some people think that children should be encouraged to watch TV regularly both at school and at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree?08.06.21Some people say that children should obey the rules set by their parents and teachers, while other people think children will not be well-prepared for their adult life if they are given too much control. Discuss in both sides and give your opinion.08.07.05Some people believe that theoretical subjects (e.g. Maths, Philosophy and Economics) should not be taught in universities because they should focus on practical subjects (e.g. Computer Technology, Accounting....) To what extent do you agree or disagree?08.08.30Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in a group while others think it is better to study alone. What are the benefits of each way and which one do you think is more effective?08.12.06Memorization of information by frequent repetition (rote learning) plays a role in many education systems. Does the usefulness of this method outweigh the limitations?三,新话题仍占有一定比例但今年应该是全新题目比较多的一年。
如 2 、 3 月份的考题中有评价“ tomorrow is more important and precious ”,也有问“健康对个人还是对社会有利”,以及“保证健康的生活方式是个人还是政府的责任”等感觉非常陌生的考题;下半年的“社会运作是基于rules and laws ”,08 年最后一次考试的“社会公益节日的意义”等都是以前没有出现过的新题,而且比较抽象,观点不好表达,词汇也不是很熟悉。
此外,以前的旧话题的某个侧面放大化重考也不乏此例。
如 3 月8 日的考题“修路由谁出资”就是以往多次考到的汽车数量增多造成污染加重的高频话题的一个解决方法;8 月初的“是否要将大企业搬到乡下去”就是解决污染、就业、住房紧张等话题的政府采取的可行性措施之一;此外暑期考的旅游更易使人产生偏见还是心胸开阔,也是旅游这个多次考到的话题的一个侧面。
08.02.16“Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.”- US movie actor & director John WayneWhy is it important for individuals and countries to think about the future rather than focusing on the present?08.03.13People should look after their health as a duty to the society they live in rather than only for their own personal benefits. To what extent do you agree or disagree?08.03.29Some people think that it is the responsibility of the government of a country to ensure that its people have a healthy lifestyle. However, others think that individuals should be free to make their own decisions on living. Discuss both views and give your opinion.08.10.11Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free to do whatever they want. To what extent do you agree or disagree ?08.12.20Nowadays, many charities and organisations publicize their activities by giving names to a particular day, such as National Children's Day and National Non-smoking Day. Why do they do so? What effects will these special days have ?虽然纷繁复杂,但事实上雅思的考题并没有所谓的新题, 有的只是各个高频话题的排列组合。
只要平时把基础打好, 多关注一些近期传媒的焦点, 就不难找到每个貌似全新的考题的庐山真面目。
如上段中的明天是否重要问题,可以联想到当前发展对环境的破坏与可持续发展的关系问题;健康对社会的作用除了生理健康更好的服务社会以外,还可以联想到心理的健康能够减少暴力案件的发生促进社会的和谐等。
这样和以前准备的高频话题联系起来,考场上才能信心十足。
此外一般情况下, 阅卷人并不是很关注从哪个方面论证, 相比较而言更侧重的是是否条理清楚并言之有理, 真正决定考分的永远都是句法和词汇表达。
