Paragraph 3 : Detail — 2 paragraphs , compare the lines
In 1980 , thermal power stations were the main source of electricity in France, generating around 120 terawatt hours of power . Nuclear and hydroelectric power stations produced just under 75 terawatt hours of electricity each, and renewables provided a negligible amount . Just one year later , nuclear power overtook thermal power as the primary source of electricity .
1980年，法国的主要电力来源是火力发电站，发电量约为120太瓦每时。核电站和水力发电站每台发电量不到75太瓦每时，可再生能源的发电量微不足道。仅仅一年后，核电就取代了火电成为主要的电力来源。
Paragraph 4
Between 1980 and 2005 , electricity production from nuclear power rose dramatically to a peak of 430 terawatt hours . By contrast , the figure for thermal power fell to only 50 terawatt hours in 1985 , and remained at this level for the rest of the period . Hydroelectric power generation remained relatively stable , at between 50 and 80 terawatt hours , for the whole 35 year period , but renewable electricity production saw only a small rise to approximately 25 terawatt hours by 2012 .
从1980年到2005年，核能发电量急剧上升到430太瓦时的峰值。相比之下，在1985年，火力发电的数字下降到只有50太瓦时，并在之后保持在这个水平。水力发电在整个35年期间保持相对稳定，在50至80太瓦时之间，但可再生电力产量到2012年，仅小幅上升至约25太瓦时。

Paragraph 3 : Steps/Passive步骤/被动
At the first stage in the production of glass, sand, soda ash, limestone and other chemicals are mixed together. Next, this mixture is heated in a glass furnace at approximately 1500C to produce molten glass. The molten glass can then be shaped, by blowing, to create the end products, namely glass containers.
在玻璃生产的第一阶段，沙子、苏打灰、石灰石等化学品混合在一起。接下来，将这种混合物在大约1500摄氏度的玻璃熔炉中加热，以产生熔融玻璃。熔化的玻璃可以通过吹制成形，从而制造出最终产品，即玻璃容器。
Paragraph 4 : Steps/Passive步骤/被动

With no separate hall area, the proposed living room will also contain the staircase to the first floor.
从现有平面图到拟议平面图最显著的变化是，建筑工程完成后，不再有单独的大厅区域。这将通过拆除大厅和客厅之间的内墙和门，以及当前的楼梯和楼梯下的储物柜来实现。由于没有单独的大厅区域，提议的起居室也将包含通往一楼的楼梯。

Writing task 2, lesson 6: Opinion essay 写作第二部分，第六课：写作观点 Here’s the question and the full essay that you saw in the lesson: 下面是你在视频里看到的问题和写作全文： The money spent by governments on space programmes would be better spent on vital public services such as schools and hospitals. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 政府花费在太空工程里的钱要比花费在学校和医院这些至关重要的公共服务上更好。你多大程度上同意或者不同意？ Governments in some countries spend large amounts of money on space exploration programmes. I completely agree with the idea that these are a waste of money, and that the funds should be allocated to public services. 一些国家的政府在太空探索工程方面花费大量的钱。我同意这完全是一种浪费金钱的行为，并且认为这些资金本应该被分配到公共服务上。 There are several reasons why space programmes should be abandoned. Firstly, it is extremely expensive to train scientists and other staff involved with space missions, and facilities and equipment also come at a huge cost to the government. Secondly, these programmes do not benefit normal people in our daily lives; they are simply vanity projects for politicians. Finally, many missions to space fail completely, and the smallest technological error can cost astronauts their lives. The Challenger space shuttle disaster showed us that space travel is extremely dangerous, and in my opinion it is not worth the risk. 有许多理由可以解释为什么太空工程应该被抛弃。首先，为太空计划培养科学家和其他相关工作人员是极其昂贵的，工厂和设备也给政府造成了巨大的花费。第二，这些计划对于普通人的日常生活没有什么益处。那只是政客们的面子工程。最后要说的是，很多太空计划都完全失败了，并且哪怕最小的技术错误也会导致宇航员丧失他们的生命。挑战者号空难显示了太空旅行是多么地危险，我认为这不值得冒险。 I believe that the money from space programmes should go to vital public services instead. It is much cheaper to train doctors, teachers, police and other public service workers than it is to train astronauts or the scientists and engineers who work on space exploration
Simon雅思写作范文解析 在雅思写作备考中，建议大家重点参考范文的解题思路、高分句式等，结合写作练习熟练掌握与运用到自己的答题中。下面小编给大家带来 雅思Simon考官大作文范文：大学网上课程 题目： Some universities now offer their courses on the Internet so that people can study online. Is this a positive or negative development? 范文： It is true that online courses are becoming a common feature of university education. Although there are some drawbacks of Internet-based learning, I would argue that there are far more benefits. The main drawback of the trend towards online university courses is that there is less direct interaction. Students may not have the opportunity to engage face-to-face with their teachers, and will instead have to rely on written forms of communication. Similarly, students who study online do not come into direct contact with each other, and this could have a negative impact on peer support, discussion and exchange of ideas. For example, whereas students on traditional courses can attend seminars and even discuss their subjects over coffee after lessons, online learners are restricted to chatting through website forum areas. These leaners may also lack the motivation and element of competition that face-to-face group work brings. Despite the negatives mentioned above, I believe that online university courses are a positive development for various reasons. Firstly, they allow learners to study in a flexible way, meaning that
Recycling essay Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste? It is true that we do not recycle enough of our household waste. Although I accept that new legislation to force people to recycle could help this situation, I do not agree that a recycling law is the only measure that governments should take. In my view, a new recycling law would be just one possible way to tackle the waste problem. Governments could make it a legal obligation for householders to separate all waste into different bins. There could be punishments for people who fail to adhere to this law, ranging from a small fine to community service, or even perhaps prison sentences for repeat offenders. These measures would act as a deterrent and encourage people to obey the recycling law. As a result, the improved behaviour of homeowners could lead to a clean, waste-free environment for everyone. However, I believe that governments should do more than simply introduce a recycling law. It might be more effective if politicians put education, rather than punishment, at the centre of a recycling campaign. For example, children could be taught about recycling in schools, and homeowners could be informed about the environmental impact of household waste. Another tactic that governments could use would be to create stricter regulations for the companies that produce the packaging for household products. Finally, money could also be spent to improve recycling facilities and systems, so that waste is processed more effectively, regardless of whether or not people separate it correctly in the home. In conclusion, perhaps we do need to make recycling a legal requirement, but this would certainly not be the only way to encourage people to dispose of their waste more responsibly. Topic words: household waste new legislation just one possible way to tackle the problem a legal obligation householders fail to adhere to this law prison sentences for repeat offenders act as a deterrent encourage people to obey improved behaviour of homeowners a clean, waste-free environment put education at the centre of a recycling campaign the environmental impact of household waste

Simon雅思小作文真题范文Task1：wastetableessay The table below shows the amount of waste production (in millions of tonnes) in six different countries over a twenty-year period. The chart compares the amounts of waste that were produced in six countries in the years 1980, 1990 and 2000. In each of these years, the US produced more waste than Ireland, Japan, Korea, Poland and Portugal combined. It is also noticeable that Korea was the only country that managed to reduce its waste output by the year 2000. Between 1980 and 2000, waste production in the US rose from 131 to 192 million tonnes, and rising trends were also seen in Japan, Poland and Portugal. Japan’s waste output increased from 28 to 53 million tonnes, while Poland and Portugal saw waste totals increase from 4 to 6.6 and from 2 to 5 million tonnes respectively. The trends for Ireland and Korea were noticeably different from those described above. In Ireland, waste production increased more than eightfold, from only 0.6 million tonnes in 1980 to 5 million tonnes in 2000. Korea, by contrast, cut its waste output by 12 million tonnes between 1990 and 2000.
范文： The table compares the percentages of people using different functions of their mobile phones between 2006 and 2010.? Throughout the period shown, the main reason why people used their mobile phones was to make calls. However, there was a marked increase in the popularity of other mobile phone features, particularly the Internet search feature. In 2006, 100% of mobile phone owners used their phones to make calls, while the next most popular functions were text messaging (73%) and taking photos (66%). By contrast, less than 20% of owners played games or music on their phones, and there were no figures for users doing Internet searches or recording video. Over the following 4 years, there was relatively little change in the figures for the top three mobile phone features. However, the percentage of people using their phones to access the Internet jumped to 41% in 2008 and then to 73% in 2010. There was also a significant rise in the use of mobiles to play games and to record video, with figures reaching 41% and 35% respectively in 2010. Note: The above essay isn't perfect, but it's still good enough for a band 9. You are not expected to write a masterpiece in only 20 minutes.

It is clear that British people spent significantly more money than people in the other three countries on all six goods. Of the six items, consumers spent the most money on photographic film. People in Britain spent just over £170,000 on photographic film, which is the highest figure shown on the chart. By contrast, Germans were the lowest overall spenders, with roughly the same figures (just under £150,000) for each of the six products. The figures for spending on toys were the same in both France and Italy, at nearly £160,000. However, while French people spent more than Italians on photographic film and CDs, Italians paid out more for personal stereos, tennis racquets and perfumes. The amount spent by French people on tennis ra cquets, around £145,000, is the lowest figure shown on the chart.(150)

It is clear that spending on landline phones fell steadily over the 10-year period, while mobile phone expenditure rose quickly. The year 2006 marks the point at which expenditure on mobile services overtook that for residential phone services. In 2001, US consumers spent an average of nearly $700 on residential phone services, compared to only around $200 on cell phone services. Over the following five years, average yearly spending on landlines
The chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling. The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper. At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill. Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product: usable paper.
