11月26日雅思全面预测本预测适用于亚太地区，包括中国大陆地区，港澳台地区，澳洲及日韩等。

纵观雅思考试在中国的这些年，我们会发现试题的些许变化。

如何能在雅思考试中取得比较理想的成绩？对于即将参加考试的同学，以下是无忧雅思网给广告烤鸭们一些备考建议。

雅思考试是考察英语综合实力的功能性语言测试。

对考生本身的水平要求很高。

英语水平高不见得能拿高分，要想拿高分必定要具备高的英语水平。

所以语言基础至关重要。

大家要通过平时的积累达到理想的水平，请大家一定要多多注意啦~~~11月26日考试展望听力：旧题出现的可能较大。

阅读：预测基本没用，但是也很大可能会有旧题出现，有时间也可以浏览一下往年阅读机经，了解相关的背景知识。

写作：预测可注意一下科技类、教育类、环境类以及社会类的相关话题。

口语：看预测及机经还是相当有用的。

有时间看一下雅思网站雅思口语类新闻。

雅思 2012年12月作文真题The issue of climate change has become a pressing concern in recent years,with the potential to have far-reaching impacts on the environment, economy, and society as a whole. This essay will explore the various perspectives on this issue, including the causes and effects of climate change, as well as potential solutions to mitigate its impact.One of the primary causes of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These gases trap heat inthe atmosphere, leading to a gradual increase in global temperatures, known as global warming. The consequences of this phenomenon are already being felt, with more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture.From an economic perspective, climate change poses significant risks to industries such as agriculture, tourism, and insurance, which are vulnerable to extreme weather events and environmental degradation. The costs of adapting to these changes and rebuilding infrastructure after natural disasters can also place a strain on government budgets and international aid efforts. Furthermore, the potential displacement of populations due to sea-level rise and loss of habitable land could lead to social and political instability, with implications for global security and humanitarian crises.On a more personal level, the effects of climate change can be deeply emotional, particularly for those directly impacted by natural disasters or environmental degradation. The loss of homes, livelihoods, and even lives due to events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts can have long-lasting psychological effects on individuals and communities, leading to feelings of grief, anxiety, and hopelessness. Additionally, the prospect of a future with uncertain access to clean water, food, and shelter can create a sense of existential dread and despair, especially for future generations.In response to these challenges, there is a growing recognition of the need for collective action to address climate change at both the national and international levels. This includes efforts to reduce emissions through the transition to renewable energy sources, increase energy efficiency, and protect and restore natural carbon sinks such as forests and wetlands. There is also a focus on building resilience to the impacts of climate change, through measures such as improving infrastructure, developing early warning systems, and implementing sustainable land use and water management practices.However, there are also barriers to progress on this issue, includingpolitical and economic interests that are resistant to change, as well as a lack of awareness and understanding among the general public. Overcoming these obstacles will require effective communication and education about the science of climate change and the urgency of taking action, as well as innovative policies and incentives to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy.In conclusion, climate change is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires a holistic and coordinated response from all sectors of society. By acknowledging the diverse perspectives on this issue, and by incorporating emotional elements into the discussion, we can foster a greater sense of empathy and urgency in addressing this critical challenge. It is only through collective action and a shared commitment to sustainability that we can hope to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change and create a more resilient and equitable future for all.。

一分为二：分头指引讨论二者利弊。

The public can still benefit from visiting libraries, even though these days access to the Internet can provide all kinds of information. To enhance the quality of research, it is better to make the most of both modern Web-based and traditional library resources. Establishing free libraries in each town makes sense since the use of a computer at home has its own weaknesses as well as its indisputable strengths.At this information age, the diversified advantages of using the Internet are only too obvious. Online resources can be obtained from all over the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week while a library's publications cannot provide up-to-minute information the way Web sites can. The Internet gives users opportunities for two-way communication through Facebook, Twitter, E-mail, MSN, among other electronic devices. Some sites feature rare books, documents and special collections that traditionally have been only available in libraries. Almost at no cost and merely a few clicks away, the public can read newspapers, magazines, journals and encyclopedias, no matter when or where. Furthermore, the Internet offers a complete multimediaexperience--texts, video, audio, hyperlinks and graphics, etc. all at once, but such advantages often cannot be expected from town libraries.On the other hand, money spent on public libraries is certainly worth it. To start with, knowledgeable librarians can be of practical help when it comes to offering professional advice about research on particular topics. A government-financed library is supposed to use universal cataloging systems that classify and organize all resources so that it is easier for a user to locate specific information without being led to non-productive research. Whereas most Web sites provide materials characteristic of current information, only a library well-funded by public money can house printed copies that date back many decades. In addition, computers in libraries also offer free Internet connection and other electronic resources, such as reference CD-ROMs. Now that anyone can create a Web site, reliability of information on the Internet is not guaranteed, and as such there are cases in which the Internet is no substitute for the library.Money being not the issue, the government ought to have the wisdom of establishing free libraries in each community despite the fact that people can use the Internet at home or elsewhere. For quality research, libraries and the Internet are complementing each other. Were information food for the hungry mind, one might as eat out sometimes as eat at home, and at this point nobody ever ask questions whether to have "free" restaurants in town.。

Some employers con sider social skills as importa nt as good qualification for success in a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree?话题解析步骤一：破题题目不难理解，根据提纲情况确定文章倾向。

步骤二：提纲good qualificatio n1. proof of capacity --> eligible for a duty --c-- difficultsocial skills1. effective com muni cati on --> efficie ncy --if-- tolerated步骤三：语言In troduct ionIn such a competitive society where achiev ing success in a job is in creas in gly sig nifica nt that people attach substa ntial importa nee to their academic qualificati on. But I tend to believe that success in a job requires not only academic qualification but also social skills.BodyQualification is proof of capacity, knowledge or skill that an employer possesses for a job. It is a widely held perception that with good qualification, an employer is more likely to be believed eligible for a duty, whereas a reas on able qualificati on does not n ecessarily in dicate compete nee which is basically fostered through the practice in a job. By con trast, it seems difficult tojudge whether a pers on without a reas on able qualificati on could fulfil a missio n. Therefore, whe n employers recruit ing new members, can didates with fine qualification normally win more favor in comparison with their fellow competitors.Social skills often refer to an array of skills that facilitate people to com muni cate, relate and socialize with others. It is such a host of social skills that could proba bly help enhance employers ' working efficiency, particularly in corporati ons such as New Orien tal Educati on & Tech no logy Group Inc. where thousa nds of people are curre ntly employed and effective com muni cati on is highly dema nded. If employees are lack of such social skills as to speak in appropriately to a situati on, there is a higher possibility for them to spoil bus in ess, thereby being dismissed.Con clusi onTaking all factors into account, I tend to reaffirm my position that social skills are no less importa nt tha n reas on able qualificatio n for success in job and they should be con sidered equally sig nifica nt by employers.(256words)X。

Some people believe the government should pay for public libraries in every town, while others think it is a waste of money as we can access information from Internet.Discuss the both views and give your own opinion.Establishing public libraries in every city tends to be increasingly prevalent in a substantial number of countries. While some people believe it beneficial to a wide range of people, others contend it is a proposal of sinking money due to the popularity of Internet. I will explore this question and the detailed analysis will be made in the following essay.Some people are in favour of the idea that the government should set up public libraries in each town. For one thing, public libraries enable people all over the nation to keep learning constantly. They could encourage the general public to read and therefore cultivate people’s reading interests. For another, the reputation of the whole country would be enhanced by this investment. A wide range of impoverished people who could hardly afford to read will own a higher possibility to access books, which will inevitably reduce the proportion of illiterates and will help to promote the image of the nation.Others maintain that the money will be wasted if governments pay for libraries in each town since people can freely log on Internet to acquire information. Actually, the prevalence of computer and Internet could hardly reach such a high level where all family either own a computer or can get access to the internet easily at present. And it is the poor who really need the help from the government that can barely afford a computer nor know how to surf online. Under this circumstance, hardly could the poor change their fate without public libraries.My view is that public libraries should be established in each town, especially those impoverished ones where more than one ought to be funded. Prevalent as Internet is, not every household could afford the computer or surf the internet freely, and therefore public library seems the best choice currently.(303 words)Nowadays it is widely accepted that social skills are as important as good qualifications.Do you agree or disagree?Traditionally, academic qualifications are considered as an important factor for people to succeed in future careers. Nowadays, some people claim that social skills are equally important as academic qualifications. Personally, I agree with this viewpoint to some extent.On one hand, the importance of academic qualifications can never be exaggerated. Academic qualifications reflect a person's academic background and professional experience since they cannot be obtained without many years of diligent study or continuous practice. A case in point is that many companies require job-hunting candidates to possess a certain level of qualification, which is used for the evaluation of their knowledge and skills. Some people may argue that a qualification is not the only criteria and, in some cases, it may lead to prejudice and wrong judgment. But the qualification is still an important standard when other information is not available.On the other, apart from qualifications, people have become increasingly aware of the importance of social skills. First, a person with sophisticated social skills will find it favourable and comfortable to work with others. Sound relationship with colleagues enhances the efficiency in workplaces, giving people more sense of satisfaction. By contrast, if people do not know how to get along with their workmates, they would suffer from extra stress in their work. Second, social skills help people to enlargethe circle of friends and enrich their lives. With a positive attitude towards making friends with others, one would be able to deal with all kinds of challenges in his or her daily life.To summarize, when people are becoming more and more interdependent, one cannot succeed only with his or her qualification. To communicate and cooperate with others has become an essential part of our life and therefore necessary social skills should not be ignored.(292 words)Many people fail to achieve a balance between work and the other parts of life.What causes the situation? How to overcome this problem? Nowadays many adults are busy with their full-time jobs and ignore the other parts of life. It is urgent to identify the underlying root causes and adopt proactive approaches.A variety of factors are responsible for the phenomenon, especially the intense work competition and high living cost. First, competition is getting increasingly fierce in workplaces as the urban population keeps rising and those who are not competent for their jobs may be laid off. Under so much pressure, many people have no choice but to focus on their work, therefore remaining little time for leisure or exercise. Second, in many cities, the living cost is pretty high, bringing about a heavy burden on city residents. To survive and fight for a better life, people have to work overtime to cover the daily expenditure. As a result, their life becomes monotonous and their health declines.There is no doubt that the imbalance has caused negative impacts on people's physical and psychological health and this situation needs to be changed. To begin with, people should be more aware of the consequence of failing to remain the balance between work and life. They should learn to allocate a certain proportion of time to stay with their family members, or for exercise. Furthermore, the government needs to control the living cost to ensure citizens’quality of life and construct more facilities for people to relax and enjoy their spare time.As suggested above, this unpleasant phenomenon can be attributed to two main factors, the intense work competition and high living cost. The individuals are supposed to enlighten and enhance the awareness of happy and healthy lifestyle to avoid the negative influence of daily competition, and the government should take more effective measures to control the living cost.(293 words)It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than young people in many countries in the future.Do you think it is a positive or negative development?At present, along with the advance of medical technology and social security, the phenomenon that there are an increasing number of old people in society seems an inevitable trend. Whether the aging will greatly benefit or negatively impact our society has always been a debatable question. As far as I am concerned, it is a negative trend and the detailed analysis will be made in the following essay.The demerits of aging problem are obvious. In the first place, fiscal burden of government may be substantially aggravated as much more pension will be offered than ever before with the number of the elderly accumulating. As a consequence, the budget which should have been invested in other aspects, such as infrastructure construction, national defence and education, may be abated. In the second place, taking care of more senior citizens tends to exert undue pressure on youngsters who have endure plenty of stress due to increasingly drastic competition in their work or study, which may play a detrimental role in their physical and mental health. In the end, so vulnerable and weak are old people that the consequent medical resource shortage may occur.Admittedly, under no circumstance should we ignore the merits of aging. Some people may assert that the increased proportion of the old will boost the development of related industries, such as rest homes. However, they seem to fail to take into account the fact that so anxious do their children feel about the living conditions and service quality of those rest homes that most of them will refuse to send their parents to there.To conclude, I reassert my view that the boom of aging is a negative development as it will hinder the advancing of society in various aspects. Therefore, effective measures are suggested to be implemented by government.(301 words)News media are important in modern society.Why are they so important? Are their influences generally positive or negative?In today's world, we are surrounded by various kinds of news media, which have become an essential part of our daily life. I believe the news media mainly play two important roles in modern society: providing information and influencing decision, and the influence is generally positive.Obviously, news media are important to individuals and companies. For one thing, thanks to journalists' work, people can get sufficient information and be more involved in social affairs than ever before. For example, when natural disasters happen, news media can convey the first-hand message to the public, and then general public can donate aid for victims immediately. For another, by paying close attention to the information posted on news media, companies listed on the stock exchange can adjust their operation modes and investment strategies to enlarge their assets and enrich their investors.Admittedly, the news from different news media is often presented to us in certain ways, using specific words to try to control our feelings and thoughts. Very often, the news media portrays people in simplistic ways, giving us some facts, but not the whole story. This is somewhat inevitable, because the editors, journalists and owners of the news media have opinions and biases. However, people can check news stories from different sources instead of only using one source to avoid the prejudice.To sum up, news media provide the factual information giving individuals and companies the chance to take better actions and make better decisions. Despite the fact that the news media might report events incorrectly or with bias, I believe the general influence is good.(260 words)The tendency that news reports focus on the problems and emergencies rather than positive development is harmful to individual and to society.To what extent do you agree or disagree.In today’s world, we are surrounded by various kinds of news reports, which have become an essential part of our daily life. Some people believe that news media should focus on the positive development of the society instead of the negative side. In my point of view, news reports should be objective and unbiased, even if they may be harmful or helpful to individual and to society. The tendency of reporting bad news may be harmful to general public and to society. There is a widespread concern that excessive reports on problems may result in ordinary people’s panic. For instance, when people are exposed to reports on crimes too often, they tend to lack sense of security and be in a blind panic. What makes things worse is that the detailed description of the crime cases may cause social instability. If people become over-cautious, they may lose their trust on other people and it is difficult for them to develop a harmonious interpersonal relationship with others.Despite the concern mentioned above, we should not ignore the fact that the tendency of reporting on problems and emergencies contributes to the solution of social problems. First of all, these reports draw people’s attention to some serious and urgent iss ues. For example, when a country suffers from war or natural disasters, the international community will reach their hands immediately to help the victims after seeing the news reports. Also, negative reports urge the government to reflect on the deficiency of their administration and make an effort to improve their work. One case that happened in the past few decades is that in some cities the living standard of the poor was highly raised after their situation was revealed by the media.In conclusion, news reports on the dark side of society cannot be avoided and in most cases they help to solve social problems and promote the development of society. Therefore, we should be aware that there is no need to over-react to the negative reports. (333 words)Some people think that it is a waste of time for individuals to plan the future and it is more important to focus on present.Do you agree or disagree with this statement?There has long been a debate on whether we should plan our future or just focus on the present. In my point of view, the two sides are not contradictory and both are needed if we want to be successful.The importance of planning for future can never be doubted. First, plans serve as guidelines for people to achieve success. Once people have set clear goals, they tend to devote themselves to pursue these goals, regardless of hardships in their way. If theyare unclear about what they hope to do and why, they are likely to get disoriented when in difficulty. Moreover, in the fast-changing world, it is necessary to anticipate problems in advance and get well-prepared for them. For example, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce in the commercialized society and those entrepreneurs with far-sight and vision are usually in an advantageous position to win more market share.Although planning future is encouraged, to seize the present is the key to fulfil the plans. If people do not put any effort into their plans, the goal will never change into reality automatically. However, a large number of people seem to be blind to this fact. It is not uncommon to see people who are indulged in daydreaming but never take any action. Their planning for future is nothing but a waste of time, as they never implement the plans, or maybe they get started with enthusiasm and ambition but give up half way. Therefore, planning without action would be neither attractive nor productive.To sum up, setting plans for future increases the likelihood of success, but the precondition is that people should convert their plans into real action.(279 words)Humans should not use animals as sources of food and clothing. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this view?In recent years animal protection has become a heated topic and some people hold the opinion that we should not use animals for food or clothing any more. As far as I am concerned, it is unrealistic not to use animals for the wellbeing of mankind at the present.As we know, meat is an important part of people’s daily diet in most of the world, providing a variety of nutrients that are difficult to obtain from vegetables and fruits. It has been proved that balanced diets containing a certain quantities of meat are essential for people to enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases. Besides, animals are a major source of clothes for people living in some frigid areas or in a cold climate, who would not be able to survive if they abandon animals’ fur.Admittedly, living without using animals as sources of food and clothing sounds possible and could be advocated since the continuous scientific advancement and discovery of alternatives can provide people with plenty of substitutes. However, the substitution may not work since the custom of human being has remained for centuries and cannot be altered easily. What’s more, the safety of the substitutes cannot be ensured, which may arouse suspicion or even panic among general public.To sum up, although we still have to sacrifice animals for human’s benefits, we should try our best to reduce or minimize the consumption of animal’s fur and meat. Besides, it could be better if some effective measures can be taken to protect endangered animals to avoid the overuse of animal resources.(262 words)When visiting foreign countries, some people think it is advantageous to learn their cultures and traditions.How do you think people should learn other cultures and traditions? Why some people are interested in learning those traditions and cultures while others not?Travelling abroad has been gaining popularity due to the boom of tourism industry. It is necessary to learn different cultures and traditions during the visiting and figure out why some people can develop an appreciation of cultural differences.Learning other cultures and traditions is essential for travellers. First, it can avoid offending local people. If tourists imitate locals’ behaviour, particularly in areas where there are various kinds of customs related to religion, they will prevent misunderstanding and be safe. Second, it helps the foundation of close relationship with the local friends. Making an effort to learn the proper behaviours and social customs can ensure the communication, and visitorscan make local friends easily and enjoy their trips with the new friends by showing the respect for the local culture.The reason why people have different attitudes toward other cultures and traditions lies in their different travel purpose. For some people, who are interested in learning background information about a country, the aim is probably to enlighten the minds or enrich the experience. Therefore, they are willing to learn different things. For others, the goal of the journey is psychological relaxation or physical refreshment, and they just want to release pressure by viewing the different landscapes. Thus, they tend to feel comfortable by following their own habits and routine, and regard learning new things is too difficult.In conclusion, visiting a foreign country can be a rewarding experience if we are open-minded and knowledge-conscious toward any different culture, but it is also reasonable to get well prepared for the trip by consulting travel agency regarding the taboo.(266 words)Advertising encourages people to buy in quantity rather than promoting its quality.To what extent do you agree or disagree?Whether we like or not, we are bombarded by all kinds of advertisements, which affect our buying decisions, consciously or unconsciously. Some people hold the opinion that advertisements help to increase the sales of products, but contribute little to the quality. Actually, my response to the opinion is partly to accept and partly refuse.There is no denying that advertisements tremendously boost the sales of goods and stimulate consumption. Some companies produce advertisements with famous singers and actors. As a result, people, particularly teenagers, buy these products just because they favour these entertainment stars and they want to share something in common with their idols. Some advertisements are designed attractively, making it hard for people to resist their appeal. Therefore, some people buy a great number of products impulsively after they watch the advertisements.Indeed, the majority of advertisements present the excellent quality of the products and the good image of producers, which are always the main concerns to consumers when making a decision on facing a large variety of goods in the market. For the companies which focus on the quality control and technique improvement, they will be supported by customers, and capture more markets. For those companies that rely on deceptive and misleading advertisements rather than high quality, they cannot survive for long.In conclusion, advertising industry plays a significant role in the commercial society. Although it encourages people to buy more products, we have to admit that advertising also motivates manufacturers to improve the quality of their products.(251 words)Many people think arts like painting and music cannot directly improve people's quality of life; therefore, government should spend money on other things.Do you agree or disagree?In this essay, I will explain why I think that arts can directly improve people’s quality of life and that the government should spend money on them.The arts clearly make people’s lives better. Paintings, photographs and other pictures add colour to our lives and often inspire people to create works of art of their own. I am not only thinking of artistic works produced by renowned artists, but also those produced by children at kindergarten for their parents to attach to refrigerators using magnets. Music also obv iously improves people’s lives. Many of us find it relaxing. Others like to go to clubs and dance to it with their friends. Others get more involved and form bands or become DJs and create their own tunes.Many people feel that the government should spend money only on certain things, such as defence, health and education. Whilst I agree that these things are important, I think that governments should be able to find a little money to spend on arts, not only because they raise our quality of life, but because they can remind us of our heritage and show the world what kind of a country and people we are. I think that the recent Olympic Opening Ceremony in London is a perfect example of this. It achieved worldwide praise and served as a reminder of how British artists and entertainers have contributed to the worlds of music, film, television and culture.To summarize, I think that it is certain that arts can make people’s lives better, significantly better in many cases. Therefore, the government should ensure that a small part of its spending goes towards this field which contributes to our lives.(282 words)Some people think personal happiness is directly related to economic success, while others believe this depends on other factors.Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.Happiness is difficult to define, because people interpret it in so many different ways. Some people associate it with fortune and wealth, while others believe that happiness lies in other factors. There is no denying that being successful in earning money would give people a strong sense of satisfaction, particularly in a material world, where money is considered to be the key criteria to evaluate a person’s career development. The possession of fortune makes it possible for people to enjoy more comfort and convenience in their lives. For instance, rich people can choose to have a romantic dinner in a luxurious restaurant, or spend a vacation in a summer resort with their families.However, it seems that many rich people are not as happy as we think them should be. Personal happiness cannot be guaranteed by fortune and there are other factors that are more important than material things. For example, those who love their jobs tend to feel happy, even though their salary is moderate. Their happiness derives from their passion for their work and their awareness of the value of their work. In addition, the quality of people’s relationships also determines the degree of happiness. Harmonious relationship within a family and genuine friendship would make people happy, and these cannot be obtained through spending money.In my opinion, economic success does not necessarily lead to personal happiness. To achieve happiness, one should be aware of what he or she wants and know how to pursue it. There are so many factors that contribute to the happiness, among which the most important one is to develop a positive attitude towards life. (272 words)Advertising discourages people from becoming different individuals by all want to be and to look the same.To what extent do you agree or disagree?As advertising has penetrated into every aspect of our lives, there is a viewpoint that people are losing their individuality because they watch the same advertisements and buy the same goods.In my opinion, advertising undoubtedly affects people’s decision-making in their daily consumption. First, as most consumers have little professional knowledge about the goods, they tend to believe what they see and hear from the mass media. When a piece of advertisement appears in every corner of our lives, people are likely to be brainwashed and may lose their own judgment. Moreover, it is human nature to follow the trend. In this fast-changing world, many people worry that they are out of fashion, which is often taken advantage of by some advertisement designers to boost the sales of their products.However, it is too early to come to the conclusion that this world would become the same as a result of advertising campaign. Firstly, people’s purchasing power and buying habits depend on their economic conditions, so it is hard to say that advertising would prompt people to make the final decision. Secondly, the competition among manufactures would motivate them to launch new products that are different from their rivals and this would contribute to the diversity of commodities. If consumers are faced with multiple choices, many of them would choose the products which suit their own individuality best.To sum up, advertising would definitely generate various groups who use the same brands and types of products, but there is no need to worry about the loss the diversity in the commercialized world.(262 words)。
