雅思预测仅供考前练笔热身,切勿盲目迷信。
具体题目如下:
1 Some people think that language should be taught in small classes, while other people think the number of students in a language class does not matter. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
话题解析
这次的雅思写作考题是教育类题目中的语言教育,两个观点,两边讨论,并给出自己观点。
观点一
语言教育应该小班化老师可以根据学生需要改变学习材料和方式保证学生能有所提高,小班化教育中,学生大多按已有语言能力分班,学生相互之间更易交流提高。
观点二
人数不影响语言教育在大班里会降低学习效率,缺乏自信心的学生很少开口说话,老师在大班里扮演讲师的角色,更注重课堂氛围而不是学生个人需要
2 Some people prefer planning for the future, while others argue that it is more important to focus on the present. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 规划未来重要还是着眼现在重要,讨论双方观点并给出你自己的观点。
思路提点
1) 计划将来使人们明确方向,有机会准备周全。(allows individuals a clear direction and the opportunity for full preparation)
2) 相比之下,专注现在使人们更加实际( a more pragmatic approach),只有这样才能实现未来计划。
3) 专注在现在在某种程度上比计划将来更加重要,因为它是基础( concentrating on current and constant improvements is the foundation on which a better future resides)。
