2019年英语专八作文真题解析Here's an analysis of the 2019 TEM-8 writing prompt in an informal and varied English style, adhering to the requirements mentioned:Paragraph 1: Personal Reflection.Looking back at the year, I realize how much I've grown as a language learner. The journey hasn't been easy, but every struggle has been a stepping stone to my success. From those early morning vocabulary sessions to late-night grammar reviews, I've learned the importance of consistency.Paragraph 2: Unexpected Challenges.One thing I didn't expect was how challenging listening comprehension could be. Even with all the practice, sometimes I still struggle to catch every word. But it's taught me to focus on the overall meaning rather thangetting hung up on details.Paragraph 3: The Power of Reading.Reading has been a game-changer for me. Not just for improving vocabulary and grammar, but for understanding different cultures and perspectives. Each book opens a new world and expands my horizons.Paragraph 4: The Joy of Speaking.There's nothing like the thrill of having a conversation in English with someone who doesn't speak your native language. The sense of accomplishment when you're able to express yourself clearly and understand their response is unbeatable.Paragraph 5: The Importance of Community.。
2019年雅思大作文解析及写作范文:每个人都应该上学到18岁Everybody should stay at school until 18 years old. To what extent do you agree or disagree?每个人上学都应该至少到18岁。
你在何种水准上同意或者不同意这个观点?To compete in a global economy young people are expected to be highly educated. Governments in some countries therebefore have implemented or planned to enforce the laws about raising the school leaving age. This movement givesrise to much controversy in the community. In this essay, we will discuss some arguments for and against studying until the age of eighteen.The proposal would help tackle the problem of teenagers leaving education without qualifications or workplace skills. It is not strictly about increasing the 'school' leaving age, but about keeping teens in some kind of education or training until they are 18, most of them full-time, including apprenticeships and work-based training. Especially in this competitive society, obtaining certain qualifications or pursuing higher education is an inevitable trend. If you left school a decade ago with an age under 18 there were loads of jobs you could walk into without qualifications, howeverthat's not going to be the case now and in the future. This fast-changing world needs more professionals to support and develop, and normally students can only be qualified when they finished high school or technical school while reaching 18.Some people, on the other hand, argue that there is no reason to force all 16 year olds to stay in school longer than they need to be there. By the age of sixteen, some students have a strong sense of who they are and what they want to become. Forcing these confident young people to "stay in school" until they turn 18 could actually be deterring them from achieving their career and life goals.In my opinion of view, these so called confident young people under 18 are rare and it is still beneficial for them to receive training for their career preparation. The modern education system cannot afford to neglect those teenagers who currently leave school at 16 unprepared for the rigor and demands of life in the 21st Century.。

1月5日雅思口语真题回忆:Film stars相关词汇:domestic films 国内电影imported films 国外电影filmgoers 影迷blockbusters 大片1. Who is your favorite film star?Actually I wouldn’t say that I have one particular favourite, and if I'm completely honest I'd have to say that I don’t really pay much attention to film stars'names or who they are and that kind of thing, I just like watching good films I'm not really bothered about who the actors or actresses are.分析:此题回答难度不大,可以正面回答最喜欢的电影明星是谁,然后拓展一下此明星的背景、参演的电影以及你为什么喜欢ta。
也可以参考前考官的答案,直接说没有最喜欢的电影明星。
加分词汇:Actually; particular.地道表达:if I'm completely honest…坦诚说….; I’m not really bothered about…并不介意….2. Are film stars from overseas famous in your country?I think young people might be quite into film stars from overseas because they tend to watch more international films and especially Hollywood blockbusters and things like that; older filmgoers are a bit different though, they probably prefer watching domestic films rather than imported films so older cinema fans are lesslikely to know foreign film stars.分析:此题相对于第一题难度会大一些,这里有些表达必须要会,比如“好莱坞大片”的表达,“国内电影”和“国外电影”的表达,同时还要学会同义替换。

The Tsarist control and isolationism in Russia allowed for little influence from the West. It wasn't until the rise of Peter the Great that Russiansociety opened up to the West. St. Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and compete against Moscow’s isolationism. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivaled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment,but as a “standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized-an idealized way of behaving. The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians,but to create a cultivated and new Russian people.Empress Anna,(1730 –1740)was devoted to ostentatious amusements (balls, fireworks, tableaux), and in the summer of 1734 ordered the appointment of Jean-Baptiste Landé as dancing-master in the military academy she had founded in 1731 for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became ballet master and head of the new ballet school, launching the advanced study of ballet in Russia, and winning the patronage of elite families.France provided many leaders such as Charles Didelot in St Petersburg (1801-1831),Jules Perrot(1848-1859)and Arthur Saint-Léon (1859-69).In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. A seating section called a rayok,or 'paradise gallery', consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non-wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.One author describes the Imperial ballet as “unlike that of any other country in the world…the most prestigious of the ballet troupes were those attached to the state-supported theatres. The directors of these companies were personally appointed by the tsar, and all the dancers were, in a sense, Imperial servants.In the theatre,the men in the audience always remained standing until the tsar entered his box and,out of respect,after the performance they remained in their places until he had departed. Curtain calls were arranged according to a strict pattern: first,the ballerina bowed to the tsar’s box, then to that of the theater director, and finally to the general public1. T2. F3. NG4. T5. T6.

1月5日雅思口语真题回忆:Film stars相关词汇:domestic films 国内电影imported films 国外电影filmgoers 影迷blockbusters 大片1. Who is your favorite film star?Actually I wouldn’t say that I have one particular favourite, and if I'm completely honest I'd have to say that I don’t really pay much attention to film stars'names or who they are and that kind of thing, I just like watching good films I'm not really bothered about who the actors or actresses are.分析:此题回答难度不大,可以正面回答最喜欢的电影明星是谁,然后拓展一下此明星的背景、参演的电影以及你为什么喜欢ta。
也可以参考前考官的答案,直接说没有最喜欢的电影明星。
加分词汇:Actually; particular.地道表达:if I'm completely honest…坦诚说….; I’m not really bothered about…并不介意….2. Are film stars from overseas famous in your country?I think young people might be quite into film stars from overseas because they tend to watch more international films and especially Hollywood blockbusters and things like that; older filmgoers are a bit different though, they probably prefer watching domestic films rather than imported films so older cinema fans are lesslikely to know foreign film stars.分析:此题相对于第一题难度会大一些,这里有些表达必须要会,比如“好莱坞大片”的表达,“国内电影”和“国外电影”的表达,同时还要学会同义替换。

2019年雅思大作文解析及写作范文:大学学习Nowadays, students find it hard to study at universities compared to school studies. Why is this happening? What arethe solutions to this problem?今天,学生们发现大学学习比起之前阶段的学习更吃力。
为什么会发生这样的情况?有什么解决方法吗?Universities provide profound subjects in particularfield to train people for their career. People are facinglots of hardships to complete their higher education and dropouts became common. There are several reasons for this trend which I intend to discuss in this essay in hope of suggesting appropriate measures to overcome this negative trend.To begin with, there are a number of issues makingtoday's student's university education tough. Most importantly, more new courses are introduced into higher studies. Though, youngsters are attracted towards these new courses, the limited seats became a hurdle for them. The very tough competition for seats leaves them in physical andmental agony. Another point is the high cost of education. Younger generation try to meet the educational expenses through educational loans and part time jobs. The hard jobs, heavy curriculum and lack of time management flattened them under pressure. Sometimes they feel, the degree holdersremain unemployed and it is better to continue part time jobs as full time jobs and they leave their education. The assignments and projects are sometimes hard to finish on time. All these problems make the student's university study harder than their school days.The solutions are not simple, but people can manage itand enjoy their studies as before. Firstly, parents and students should realize their strengths and limitations, and the skills needed to finish a course before choosing a course. Dedication and time management should be learnt by thestudents from their early life itself, which help them tomold their future life without mixing jobs with life or study. Parental support to their children in financial and academic problems like assisting them in a project work or assignment should also be encouraged. As governments are a powerful institute, they can make guidelines for curriculum in higher education and avoid overburden on these young minds. Thegrant or scholorships and on-campus jobs will providefinancial support for them. Governments must either increase the seats of popular courses or approve new universities in both public and private sectors, to start the course.In conclusion, it is undeniably true that the university education is harder than school studies and with personal, parental and government support and co-operation one can overcome this. Let's hope university students can enjoy their studies as their school days by these approaches.。

2019年雅思大作文解析及范文:电脑游戏对儿童的影响Some people think that computer games are dangerous for children in every way; Other people think that computer games help children's development. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.有些人认为电脑游戏在各个方面都会对儿童产生不利影响,有人认为电脑游戏有助于孩子的发展。

While it may be disliked by many, the modern gameindustry is a part of our world. From its humble beginningsin the 80s, the computer game industry has exploded into a10-billion dollar empire. It is a debatable issue whether these games are good or bad. In this essay, I intend to delve into the pros and cons of these games and finally give my opinion.There are many advantages of computer games. To begin with, computer games playing introduces children to computer technology. Secondly, some games provide practice in problem solving and logic e.g. Age of Empires. Video games have proved to improve visual skills. They also improve motor and spatial skills. Children who play computer games have better reflexes.What is more, these modern games make learning fun. The cost of failure is lower. This encourages risk taking and exploration. If the kid gets the answer wrong or their character dies, they just start the game over and try again. Finally, some games have therapeutic applications.On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of these technological inventions. Firstly, overdependence on these games leads to social isolation as these are usually played alone. Secondly, some games have violent characters and seeing their violent acts leads to aggressive behaviour in children. Moreover, these games can confuse reality and fantasy. For example, when children play car racing games then they may race their own vehicles in real life which can lead to accidents. Finally, many games do not require action that requires independence and creativity.To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that on the whole these games are very good and certainly their advantages outweigh their disadvantages but these should be played in moderation. Parents should limit the game playing time and see to it that homework and chores are done before playing.。
2019年雅思大作文解析及写作范文:学校根据能力选择学生Some people think that schools should select students according to their academic abilities while others believe that it is better to have students with different abilities study together. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.有些人认为应该根据学术水平选择学生,而有些人认为不同水平的学生应该一起学习。
请讨论双方的观点并给出你自己的观点。
The issue of whether academic abilities should be served as an only reliable standard in terms of selecting students has sparked off an intense debate. While there are some benefits to select students based on academic ability, I would argue that it is better to educate different abilities together.On the one hand, some people believe that it is more effective for schools to adopt an academy-oriented approach to select students. Since students go to school mainly for the purpose of fostering academic ability, schools are set up to fulfill the educational function of imparting a great deal amount of knowledge, such as liberal arts and science, to students.Accordingly, it is understandable that some take it for granted that academic results can serve as an effective benchmark for assessing students' capability.However, I firmly believe that the academic result is by no means an exclusive way to evaluate students' capabilities. First and foremost, schools are not a place where studentsare turned into pedants. Only focusing on academic skills inevitably leads many who are short of academic study but good at other subjects to lose opportunities to promote their talents. In addition, if students with different abilities can study together, it is out of question that all the students will benefit from such a combination. This is simply because it helps students complement each other and give them motivation as well as chances to learn more from each other.To conclude, I concede that judging students by academic ability helps schools select proper students. Nevertheless, I am convinced that allowing students with many talents to study together outweigh the former view.。

Passage1:非洲某个国家的农业参考原文及答案:A By tradition land in Luapula is not owned by individuals,but as in many other parts of Africa is allocated by the headman or headwoman of a village to people of either sex, according to need. Since land is generally prepared by hand,one ulupwa cannot take on a very large area; in this sense land has not been a limiting resource over large parts of the province. The situation has already changed near the main townships, and there has long been a scarcity of land for cultivation in the Valley. In these areas registered ownership patterns are becoming prevalent.B Most of the traditional cropping in Luapula,as in the Bemba area to the east,is based on citemene,a system whereby crops are grown on the ashes of tree branches. As a rule,entire trees are not felled (v. 砍到),but are pollarded (v. 截去树梢)so that they can regenerate. Branches are cut over an area of varying size early in the dry season, and stacked to dry over a rough circle about a fifth to a tenth of the pollarded area. The wood is fired before the rains and in the first year planted with the African cereal finger millet (Eleusine coracana). The grain of this crop is used to brew local beers such as cipumu, which contribute several vitamins of the B complex to peoples’ diet. Cipumu is also used in cementing reciprocal working relationships (Pottier 1985).C During the second season, and possibly for a few seasonsmore the area is planted to variously mixed combinations of annuals (n. 一年生植物)such as maize,pumpkins (Telfiria occidentalis)and other cucurbits,sweet potatoes,groundnuts,Phaseolus beans and various leafy vegetables,grown with a certain amount of rotation (n. 轮流). The diverse sequence ends with vegetable cassava, which is often planted into the developing last-but-one crop as a relay.D Richards (1969) observed that the practice of citemene entails a definite division of labour between men and women. A man stakes out a plot in an unobtrusive manner,since it is considered provocative towards one’s neighbours to mark boundaries in an explicit way. The dangerous work of felling branches is the m en’s province,and involves much pride. Branches are stacked by the women,and fired by the men. Formerly women and men cooperated in the planting work, but the harvesting was always done by the women. At the beginning of the cycle little weeding is necessary, since the firing of the branches effectively destroys weeds. As the cycle progresses weeds increase and nutrients eventually become depleted to a point where further effort with annual crops is judged to be not worthwhile: at this point the cassava is planted, since it can produce a crop on nearly exhausted soil. Thereafter the plot is abandoned,and a new area pollarded for the next citemene cycle.E When forest is not available-this is increasingly the case nowadays-various ridging systems (ibala)are built on small areas,to be planted with combinations of maize,beans,groundnuts and sweet potatoes, usually relayed with cassava. These plots are usually tended by women,and provide subsistence. Where their roots have year-round access to watertables (n. 地下水位、潜水面)mango, guava and oil-palm trees often grow around houses, forming a traditional agroforestry (n. 农林业)system. In season some of the fruit is sold by the roadside or in local markets.F The margins of dambos are sometimes planted to local varieties of rice during the rainy season, and areas adjacent to vegetables irrigated with water from the dambo during the dry season. The extent of cultivation is very limited,no doubt because the growing of crops under dambo conditions calls for a great deal of skill (Dougnac 1987:9-10). Near towns some of the vegetable produce is sold in local markets.G Fishing has long provided a much needed protein supplement (n. 补充)to the diet of Luapulans, as well as being the one substantial source of cash. Much fish is dried for sale to areas away from the main waterways. The Mweru and Bangweulu Lake Basins are the main areas of year-round fishing, but the Luapula River is also exploited (v. 开采)during the latter part of the dry season. Several previously abundant and desirable species,such as the Luapula salmon or mpumbu (Labeo altivelis)and pale (Sarotherodon machochir)have all but disappeared from Lake Mweru,apparently due to mismanagement (Huckaby 1979).H Fishing has always been a far more remunerative activity in Luapula that crop husbandry (n. 农业、资源管理). A fisherman may earn more in a week than a bean or maize grower in a whole season. I sometimes heard claims that the relatively high earnings to be obtained from fishing induced an‘ easy come,easy go’ outlook a mong Luapulan men. On the other hand, someone who secures good but erratic earnings may feel that their investment in an economically productive activity is notworthwhile because Luapulans fail to cooperate well in such activities. Besides, a fisherman with spare cash will find little in the way of working equipment to spend his money on. Better spend one’s money in the bars and have a good time!I Only small numbers of cattle or oxen are kept in the province owing to the prevalence of the tse-tse fly. For the few herds, the dambos provide subsistence grazing during the dry season. The absence of animal draft power greatly limits peoples’ ability to plough (n. 耕、犁)and cultivate land:a married couple an rarely manage to prepare by hand-hoeing.J Most people keep freely roaming chickens and goats. These act as a reserve for bartering (物物交换),but may also be occasionally slaughtered for ceremonies or for entertaining important visitors. These animals are not a regular part of most peoples’ diet.K Citemene has been an ingenious system for providing people with seasonal production of high quality cereals and vegetables in regions of acid, heavily leached soils. Nutritionally,the most serious deficiency was that of protein. This could at times be alleviated when fish was available,provided that cultivators lived near the Valley and could find the means of bartering for dried fish. The citemene/fishing system was well adapted to the ecology of the miombo regions and sustainable for long periods,but only as long as human population densities stayed at low levels.L Although population densities are still much lower than in several countries of South-East Asia, neither the fisheries nor the forests and woodlands of Luapula are capable,with unmodified traditional practices,of supporting the people in sustainable manner. For instance,even in a normal seasonpeople suffer from a lack of energy,protein,vitamins and minerals in the diet. A third of under-five children brought to clinics are either stagnant (adj. 停滞的)in growth, or are losing weight.M Overall, people must learn to intensify and diversify their productive systems while yet ensuring that these systems will remain productive in the future, when even more people will need food. Increasing overall production of food, though a vast challenge in itself, will not be enough, however. At the same time storage and distribution systems must allow everyone access to at least a moderate share of the total.Questions 1-4 .................................................................................Complete the sentences below with words taken from Reading Passage 1.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 1-4 on your answer sheet.1 In Luapula land allocation is in accordance with2 The citemene system provides the land with where crops are planted.3 During the second season, the last planted crop is4 Under suitable conditions, fruit trees are planted nearQuestions 5-8 .................................................................................Classify the following items with the correct description.Write your answers in boxes 5-8 on your answer sheetA fishB oxenC goats5 be used in some unusual occasions, such as celebrations.6 cannot thrive for being affected by the pests.7 be the largest part of creating profit.8 be sold beyond the local area.Questions 9-12 ...............................................................................Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 9-12 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the sataement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this9 People rarely use animals to cultivate land.10 The local residents eat goats on a regular time.11 When it is a busy time, children are usually taken as the labor force.12 Though citemene has been a sophisticated system,it could not provide enough protein.Questions 13 ...................................................................................Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in the box 13 on your answer sheet.What is the writer’s opinion about the traditional ways of practices?A They can supply the nutrition that people need.B They are not capable of providing adequate support to the population.C They are productive systems that need no more improving.D They will be easily modified in the future.1. need2. ashes3. vegetable cassava4. houses5.

BPassage2:考古发现古埃及水下遗迹参考答案:待补充Passage3: facial expression面部表情参考原文及答案:A A facial expression is one or more motions or positions of the muscles in the skin. These movements convey the emotional state of the individual to observers. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication. They are a primary means of conveying social information among aliens, but also occur in most other mammals (哺乳动物)and some other animal species. Facial expressions and their significance in the perceiver can, to some extent, vary between cultures with evidence from descriptions in the works of Charles Darwin.B Humans can adopt a facial expression to read as a voluntary action. However, cause expressions are closely tied to emotion, they are more often involuntary (不知不觉的). It can be nearly impossible to avoid expressions for certain emotions,even when it would be strongly desirable to do so; a person who is trying to avoid insulting an individual he or she finds highly unattractive might ,nevertheless,show a brief expression of disgust before being able to reassume a neutral expression. Microexpressions(微表情)are one example of thisphenomenon. The close link between emotion and expression can also work in the other direction; it has been observed that voluntarily assuming an expression can actually cause the associated emotion.C Some expressions can be accurately interpreted even between members of different species- anger and extreme contentment (满足,满意)being the primary examples . Others ,however,are difficult to interpret even in familiar individuals. For instance, disgust and fear can be tough to tell apart. Because faces have only a limited range of movement,expressions rely upon fairly minuscule differences in the proportion and relative position of facial features, and reading them requires considerable sensitivity to same. Some faces are often falsely read as expressing some emotion, even when they are neutral, because their proportions naturally resemble those another face would temporarily assume.D Also, a person 1s eyes reveal much about how they are feeling,or what they are thinking. Blink rate(眨眼率)can reveal how nervous or at ease a person may be. Research by Boston College professor Joe Tecce suggests that stress levels are revealed by blink rates. He- supports his data with statistics on the relation between the blink rates of presidential candidates and their success in their races. Tecce claims that the faster blinker in the presidential debates has lost every election since 1980. Though Tecce 1 s data is interesting,it is important to recognize that non-verbal communication is multi-channeled,and focusing on only one aspect is reckless. Nervousness can also be measured by examining each candidates’ perspiration,eye contact and stiffness.E As Charles Darwin noted in his book The Expression of theEmotions in Man and Animals:the young and the old of widely different races, both with man and animals, express the same state of mind by the same movements. Still, up to the mid—20th century most anthropologists (人类学家)believed that facial expressions were entirely learned and could therefore differ among cultures. Studies conducted in the 1960s by Paul Ekman eventually supported Darwin’s belief to a large degree.F Ekman’s work on facial expressions had its starting point in the work of psychologist Silvan Tomkins. Ekman showed that contrary to the belief of some anthropologists including Margaret Mead, facial expressions of emotion are not culturally determined,but universal across human cultures. The South Fore people of New Guinea were chosen as subjects for one such survey. The study consisted of 189 adults and 130 children from among a very isolated population,as well as twenty three members of the culture who lived a less isolated lifestyle as a control group. Participants were told a story that described one particular emotion; they were then shown three pictures (two for children)of facial expressions and asked to match the picture which expressed the story’s emotion.G While the isolated South Fore people could identify emotions with the same accuracy as the non-isolated control group, problems associated with the study include the fact that both fear and surprise were constantly misidentified. The study concluded that certain facial expressions correspond to particular emotions and can not be covered,regardless of cultural background,and regardless of whether or not the culture has been isolated or exposed to the mainstream.H Expressions Ekman found to be universal included those indicating anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise(note that none of these emotions has a definitive social component,such as shame,pride,or schadenfreude). Findings on contempt (which is social) are less clear, though there is at least some preliminary evidence that this emotion and its expression are universally recognized. This may suggest that the facial expressions are largely related to the mind and each parts on the face can express specific emotion.Questions 28-32 .............................................................................SummaryComplete the Summary paragraph described below. In boxes 28-33 on your answer sheet, write the correct answer with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDSThe result of Ekman’s study demonstrates that fear and surprise are persistently 28 and made a conclusion that some facial expressions have something to do with certain 29 which is impossible covered,despite of 29 and whether the culture has been 30 or 31 to the mainstream.Questions 33-38 .............................................................................The reading Passage has seven paragraphs A-H.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter J-J^ in boxes 34-38 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.33 the difficulty identifying the actual meaning of facial expressions34 the importance of culture on facial expressions35 collected data for the research on the relation between blink and the success in elections36 impossible to differentiate some closely related expressions37 an i ndicator to reflect one’s extent of nervousness38 the relation between emotion and facial expressionsQuestions 39-40 .............................................................................Choose two letters from the A-EWrite your answers in boxes 39-40 on your answer sheet.Which Two of the following statements are true according to Ekman’s theory?A No evidence shows animals have their own facial expressions.B Mind controls man’s facial expressions.C Facial expressions are concerning different cultures.D Different spots on face convey certain state of mind.E The definite relationship between facial expressions and state of mind exists28. misidentified29. emotions30. cultural background31. isolated32. exposed33.

值得注意的是,新闻媒体考题一般出现在上半年,今年考频加大,上半年出现了2次。
截止到8月10日,大作文跟往年一样,仍然是同意与否类居多占到12次,其次是双边讨论类占8次,利弊分析类和原因措施类(报告类)各占3次,混合类占4次。
重点考题分析
Some people believe famous people’s support towards international aid organizations draws the attention to problems. While other think celebrities make the problems less important. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (2019/04/13)
4月13日考的这道题是整个上半年构思难度极高的一道题目,也是一道老题,很多有望上6的考生都因为这道题的构思问题,变成5.5分。
有些学生对题目的理解有一些偏差,题目的意思是:名人对国际援助组织的捐助使得人们关注到问题,然而另一些人认为名人使得问题不那么重要。
第一方面比较好理解,名人利用自身的影响力使得问题得到关注,比如尘肺病对于大众来说不是很常见,是煤矿工人得的一种病,很多明星通过公益活动,让更多的人关注到这部分需要帮助的群体。
另一方面,淡化问题的原因是大众或者粉丝只关注名人的行为而忽视问题本身,对问题没有后续跟进,也就最终解决不了问题。
The increasing use of technology in the workplace has made it easier for young people to get work and hard for old people. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2019/05/04)
这道题审题很容易跑偏, 很多同学把重心会放在科技让年轻人简单地获得工作,或者错误理解成科技让年轻人的工作简单化,忽视了后半句hard for old people。
题目中含有并列关系and,需要两者都要提及,所以后面论证只证明对年轻人的好处是偏面的。
总而言之,上半年题目以老题重现居多,同学们还是要多刷机经,有可能就碰到自己写过的题目,下半年大作文犯罪类,政府类考题可能会增加,可以增加这两类话题的练习。
另外,要注意审题常见的坑,乍一看不太懂的题目不妨多读几遍,不要贸然下笔。
