Writing Task I:
自16年1月起至現(xiàn)在，我們的小作文主要考了線圖、柱圖、表格和餅圖，除了在16年1月30日當(dāng)天考察了地圖題的歷史變遷題，在接下來(lái)著兩個(gè)月中，沒(méi)有再出現(xiàn)過(guò)地圖題，而流程圖更是從15年12月5日考察了烤鴨們對(duì)橄欖油的生產(chǎn)過(guò)程描述之后，在接下來(lái)的這幾個(gè)月中再也沒(méi)出現(xiàn)，所以在5月28日雅思考試中，需要特別注意的首先是這兩個(gè)題型。當(dāng)然，對(duì)其他的常規(guī)圖表題也不能掉以輕心。
很多童鞋們把這兩個(gè)題型看作是一種“餓狼傳說(shuō)”，在考場(chǎng)中碰到流程圖和地圖題簡(jiǎn)直想立刻離場(chǎng)下次重來(lái)，但是，從實(shí)際給分情況上來(lái)講，反而是碰到流程圖與地圖題，童鞋們更容易拿高分。地圖題作為一個(gè)很可能出現(xiàn)的題型，解題思路其實(shí)很清晰。一般最常出現(xiàn)的是歷史變遷題，另一種選址比較題大家可以參照劍5里面的第3套題。這邊給大家?guī)?lái)的是一道比較難的一張圖的歷史變遷題，按照時(shí)間的規(guī)律來(lái)解題。
Chorleywood is a village near London whose population has increased steadily since the middle of the nineteenth century. The map below shows the development of the village.
例文：
The map illustrates the development of a village called Chorleywood over four main periods between 1868 and 1994.
From 1868 to 1883, the village of Chorleywood only covered a small area near a main road. Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located close to this area. Over the next period (1883 to 1922), the village expanded southwards along the main road and more than doubled in land area. In 1909, a railway line was built crossing the village of Chorleywood. The village then grew along the railway line to the east and west until 1970. In 1970, a motorway was built to the east of the village. The last period (1970 to 1994) saw further development of Chorleywood taking place around motorway intersections with the railway line and a main road.
It is clear that the village of Chorleywood grew significantly as the transport infrastructure developed between 1868 and 1994.
而Process diagram，即流程圖的出現(xiàn)幾率也是很高的，因?yàn)橐呀?jīng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間都沒(méi)有考到了。常規(guī)的流程圖對(duì)大家來(lái)說(shuō)其實(shí)并不陌生，比如劍橋中常見(jiàn)的水泥的生產(chǎn)過(guò)程，蠶寶寶的生命周期和絲綢的生產(chǎn)過(guò)程。但對(duì)于多圖的流程圖，同學(xué)們就有些無(wú)從下手。我們來(lái)以一題磚塊的生產(chǎn)過(guò)程為例。
The illustrations below show how bricks are manufactured.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
如圖，這道流程圖并不似常見(jiàn)的流暢圖只有兩幅圖，主體段大家可以一幅圖一段，如以往的水泥的生產(chǎn)過(guò)程一段，混凝土的生產(chǎn)過(guò)程一段。這幅圖我們可以如何來(lái)將主體段分段呢？我們來(lái)看一下例文。
例文：
The process by which bricks are manufactured for the building industry can be outlined in seven consecutive steps.
First the raw material, clay, which was just below the surface of soil in certain clay-rich areas has to be dug up by a digger. Then the lumps of clay are placed on a metal grid in order to break up the big chunks of clay into much smaller areas, which fall through the metal grid onto a roller, whose motion further segregates the bits of clay. Sand and water are added to make a homogenous mixture, which is then either formed in moulds or cut into brick-shaped pieces by means of a wire cutter.
Those fresh bricks are then kept in a drying oven for at least 24 and a maximum of 48 hours, several dozens if not hundreds of bricks at a time. The dried bricks are then transferred to a so-called kiln, another type of high temperature oven. First they are kept at a moderate temperature of 200 ℃-1300℃. This process is followed by cooling down the finished bricks for 48 to 72 hours in a cooling chamber.
Once the bricks have cooled down and have become hard, they get packaged and delivered to their final destination-a building site or storage.
處理流程圖的過(guò)程中，大家記住三個(gè)步驟：
一、確定材料：clay
二、確定工具：digger
三、根據(jù)工具工具確定動(dòng)詞：dig（為了避免寫(xiě)成說(shuō)明書(shū)，請(qǐng)使用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)）
例句：
First the raw material, clay, which was just below the surface of soil in certain clay-rich areas has to be dug up by a digger.
這是流程圖三步驟在經(jīng)過(guò)美化后的例句，大家可以進(jìn)行仿寫(xiě)。
Writing Task II:
在16年的考試中，出現(xiàn)了廣告媒體、犯罪、政府、文化、環(huán)境類等話題。多以辯論型（Do you agree or disagree/ Discuss both views and give your own opinion/Advantages outweigh disadvantage）為主，混合型（主觀與客觀問(wèn)題結(jié)合）題型也兩次出現(xiàn)在3月5日與3月31日。報(bào)告類題型（客觀：原因與解決方案）的題型也在4月21日以一道環(huán)境類題型出現(xiàn)了。但從這半年的題目看出，老題的出現(xiàn)頻率很高。5月28日的考試中可以多關(guān)注文化與犯罪類的舊題，辯論型為主。
例如，文化類中關(guān)于時(shí)尚的話題。從時(shí)裝及其他消費(fèi)品時(shí)尚的流行可以看出人類之間互相模仿的傾向。
The tendency of human beings to copy one another is shown in the popularity of fashion in clothing and other consumer goods.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Agree：
1.消費(fèi)者在電視廣告(TV commercials)或者在時(shí)尚雜志里(fashion magazines)看到明星的穿著和用品，希望自己有類似的生活方式(lead similar lifestyles)
2.同事、朋友、同學(xué)們
3.為追求時(shí)尚花費(fèi)過(guò)多(overspend on fashion)(sacrifice comfort or even health for fashion)

2.新的時(shí)尚趨勢(shì)具有創(chuàng)新性(are creative or innovative)(want to look innovative)
3.不追隨時(shí)尚趨勢(shì)，才變成了缺乏創(chuàng)造力與原創(chuàng)力的標(biāo)志(becomes a sign of lack of creativity and originality)
以及犯罪類，1月14日（青少年犯罪）之后就沒(méi)出現(xiàn)過(guò)，比較經(jīng)典的是犯罪的懲罰手段以教育和培訓(xùn)為好還是監(jiān)禁更好的話題。例如：
Some people think that education and training are more effective ways to deal with criminals than sending them to prison.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Agree：
（Education & Training）
1.改造計(jì)劃增加他們的自信與自尊（rehabitation increase their self-confidence and self-respect）
2.為他們提供一技之長(zhǎng)（equip offenders with skills to earn a living）
Disagree：
(Imprisonment)
1.防止他們?cè)诜唐陂g繼續(xù)犯罪 (prevent them from committing further crimes outside prison for the education of the prison term)
2.為罪行感到悔恨(cause many of them to feel remorseful for their criminal acts)
3.有明顯的震懾作用 (The threat of imprisonment is a powerful deterrent against future crime)
