Topic
What I have learned from my years at university？
Example： The first paragraph

More than two thousand years ago, Confucius, one of the greatest philosophers and educators in Chinese history, sigh with grief while standing on the river and compared the transient passage of time to the flowing water. With a blink of eyes, I will graduate from this university a few months later. At this moment, I think I have a deeper understanding of this great thinker’s saying. Thinking of my impending graduation, I am excited but meanwhile I am upset, mixed with some other feelings beyond words. Looking back the details of the past few years, I can not help asking myself, “What have I learned from my years at university?” In my opinion, this question is one that every one of us can not avoid.

2008年11月雅思考生写作必看

2008年11月雅思考生写作必看最近全球经济江河日下，许多朋友心情不是很开，想当年意气风发，现在却是节衣缩食，甚至波及留学市场。

其实小新在这里一直是留学市场的"巴菲特"，就是"别人在最恐惧时我贪婪，别人在最贪婪时我恐惧。

"现在的留学拿澳洲为例，平均学费由于汇率的关系一年至少省下5万人民币，再加上生活费8万至少，两年（通常硕士的学期）就会在16万。

英国也很爽的，一年也会省下近6万，说不定到你留学的时候会省得更多。

在经济危机的时候，与其作一份工资微薄的工作，还不如选择性价比更高的留学，待到学成时，很可能已等到"柳暗花明"时。

所以现在大家如果想圆留学梦的时候，应该毫不犹豫地前行。

11月份的雅思考试并不会像天气和金融那么寒冷，10月份的2号球连考两次，短期可能性已不大。

3号球和1号球最为可能出现在11月，同时稍加预防5号球。

但是个人觉得1号球甚至必考，这是澳洲的信息，大家不得不认，3号球关键是两段论：From physical to mental。

小作文个人觉得今年的最后一次流程图可能会出现，因为十二月份几乎是一个从不考偷袭题型的月份，那么我们就可以看看我流程图最的总结，每月都提及，不再细说。

练习的大作文：1)The world of work is changing rapidly, so people cannot always depend on their jobs. What are the reasons ofsuch phenomenon and offer some measures to solve it.2) The main purpose of libraries is to provide books, therefore they should not use limited resources and space and should be replaced by computer software, DVDs etc. Do you agree or disagree?3) Lectures were used in the past as an old way of teaching a large number of students. As new technology is now available for education, some people suggest that there is no justification for lectures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?4) Some people think government should invest in art, but others think it should finance health care and education. Discuss and give your opinion.【资料精选，适合职场人士使用借鉴参考。

2008年雅思移民类书信写作话题总结

2008年雅思移民类书信写作话题总结纵览2008 年的24 次雅思移民类考试，不难发现，书信类写作的话题仍主要围绕生活和工作场景展开，其中生活场景中朋友之间交流和相互邀请的书信话题占了很大的比重，而以往常考的投诉类书信的比例则有明显下降。

2008年雅思阅读真题话题总结：自然科学类

2008年雅思阅读真题话题总结：自然科学类雅思阅读考试话题的多样性一直是很多考生准备雅思的一大难题。

在2008年全年雅思考试结束之际，我们有必要回顾一下08年全年考察的阅读话题，以便考生在以后的备考过程中有的放矢。

08年的雅思阅读话题相当的丰富，除了贴近生活的一些话题之外，考生还需要有天文、地理、生物、语言学、教务学等等学科的背景知识才能够在考试过程中游刃有余，取得理想的成绩。

本文中笔者将从雅思阅读自然科学类和人文社科类两大类话题着手，分析08年雅思阅读考试的重难点话题。

首先是自然科学类。

08 年的阅读考察自然科学类主要集中在生物，自然地理，以及环境能源等三大块儿内容上。

生物类是雅思考试常考不衰的话题。

08年的考试中生物类出现过常考的有关黄蜂wasp，鲸鱼等的文章。

除此之外还有大鹿的灭绝和原因，恐龙的灭绝等文章。

在此需要提醒考生注意的是，英联邦国家的一些比较有特色的动物是雅思考试比较喜欢考而考生比较不熟悉的一块领域，如我们3月1日的考题“Koala Research”，8月21日的考题“Australian Parrot”。

除了动物之外，当然也会考到很多植物类的文章，如5月31日的植物生存手段，9月13日的植物种子传播方式，7月5日的松树，8月9日的“Seeweeds in New Zealand”，5月22日的“Banana Plantation”等等，考生同样要给予关注。

自然科学类的另一大出题频繁区域就是自然地理类。

这类话题会涉及到一些比较专业的词汇。

考生如有相关背景知识则可以在考试中更加快速地了解文章内容，定位到答案位置。

如地质类的题目中的热点话题之一“厄尔尼诺现象”，08年4月19日的考试中有所涉及。

厄尔尼诺现象又称厄尔尼诺海流，是太平洋带大范围内海洋和大气相互作用后失去平衡而产生的一种气候现象，是沃克环流圈东移造成的，常用于表示在秘鲁和厄瓜多尔附近几千公里的东太平洋海面温度的异常增暖现象。

2008年雅思移民类议论文写作话题总结

2008年雅思移民类议论文写作话题总结2008 年雅思移民类议论文呈现以“移民为本”的出题思路。

话题涉及移民生活的方方面面，尤其以就业和家庭为主流考题。

而以社会问题为主线的07 年的移民类议论文，有一定程度地延续，但比重不大。

·08 年最为突出的话题是与移民生活息息相关的就业问题。

如：·Many companies require their employees to wear a uniform at work. In what jobs do you think should people be required to wear uniforms? What are the disadvantages of wearing uniforms at work? (02.14)·Some people take their family with them when they go to work abroad for a period of time. Does this have more advantages than disadvantages for individuals and their family?(02.16)·A survey shows that people in certain occupations and professions are believed to be more honest. What is the situation like in your country? Do you agree with this belief? (03.29)·Traveling to and from work is becoming more difficult. One solution is that employers should allow employees to work from home. Do you agree that the advantages are more than disadvantages?(04.12)·Some people think it's better to be self-employed. Other people say it is better to work for a company or institution. Discuss both of views and give your own opinion.(04.19)· Nowadays, many people have to work longer time, and they feel more stressed than before. What are the reasons? What can the employers do to make the workers' life easier? (07.26)·移民类雅思议论文的另一大难题是照顾家庭成员，尤其是子女和父母。

2008年10月雅思考生写作必看

2008年10月雅思考生写作必看渐渐的天气转凉了，雅思一年的闹火劲也渐渐的偃旗息鼓了，从年初的“机考门”到后来的写作“段落门”（加入paragraphing的新阅卷要求），还有著名的“流程图门”，到了四季度，一切将在秋天别来的瑟瑟寒风中化为乌有。

雅友们，每年的四季度都是“平安无事”的季节，相信我8年的判断，四季度是老外的“节前综合症”时期，就拿口语来说，11月底至12月初的考试，都是高分频出的时期，即使在10月份，以前著名的7分老太也曾经出山过，拼命的送出高分，大家白捡个便宜。

想想是那么的不可思议，但是真的主观的东西永远客观不起来，所以我相信写作和口语不可能绝对的反映你的真实水平，即使你写作没有考到理想的分数，其实并不表示你没有这个实力，同样的题目再考一次可能拿到的分数大相径庭。

因此大家一定要贯彻在课上讲到“应试”策略，虽然显得有点“不武”，但是相信达尔文的进化论，只有生存才是硬道理。

好了转到正题，小作文是不用太担心了，9月第一次考过以后，今天的5次“预算”基本用完了，这六年以来（03—08，01年前考得很多）基本上5次是一年偷袭题型考试的极限。

所以我们的判断是：四季度最多一次考偷袭题型了，大家还是把“流程图最全下载”（置顶贴）看一看，写一写，基本可保平安。

此外需要指出的是，大家在后期写作的时候，不必刻意模仿雅思笔记8.0上的写法，你可以走出自己的模式，就是适当的推出一些文字系统的文字。

但是在“菜鸟”阶段，还是应该老老实实做人，结合上课笔记采取模仿式的写作，多写才能迅速增加经验，Task 1就是一个熟练工，永远记住！大作文要关注2和5号球，由于科技大主体9月份还是没有测试，所以成为头等关注的大主题了，大家一定要准备好科技的共性好处和坏处，看看我的笔记吧。

二号球题目占三分之一，但是解题思路其实非常简单，大部分的题目都是“政府（硬件）+个人（软件）”的写作模式，极限模式就是“缺东西+缺意识”的写法。

新航道：2008年6-7月雅思写作重点话题

新航道：2008年6-7月雅思写作重点话题说明：文化旅游，教育，科技类我们上课已经讲过。

下面为课上讲义的补充。

因为讲义打印错乱而给亲爱的同学们造成不便还请理解除了这些重点题目，7月份考试的同学（这个班上好像很多）可以把网撒的更大一些，把（二）的题目也按照我们上课的方式思考准备一下。

祝大家好运！媒体广告类1) Advertising encourages consumers to buy in quantity rather than in quality. Do you agree or disagree?2) In some countries, advertisers increase the amount of advertising which try to persuade children to buy snacks, toys，and other goods. Parents object to such pressure on children. But some advertisers claim that there is useful information in these advertisements.Discuss both views and give your opinion.Every surface that could possibly have an ad slapped on it -- clothing, buses, taxis, myriad walls and billboards, even the snow you ski on -- now hawks something.In such an information society of high pressure, fierce competition andever-increasing living pace, it is impossible for consumers to check the quality of each piece of product in person. The only solution is to turn to advertisements, namely they have become dependent on the advertisements when purchasing.On the other hand, producers begin to find a business secret, i.e., the profits brought by the investment on advertisements are much more than the perfection of the quality. As a result, people are persuaded by splendid advertisements to buy more while it is impossible for the consumers to be informed of the reality of the quality.In modern advertisements, it is not uncommon that some famous social elite’s, particularly entertainment and sports super stars, help to promote products or services involved. Large amount of fans empty their wallets because of their fascination about their role models rather than real needs. Producers understand that these super stars could bring extra profits, and a large proportion of budget has beendisbursed. As a result, what consumers get is the result of recommendation from their stars rather than the high quality production.科技类补充1) When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?2) It is now possible to perform everyday tasks, such as bank transaction, shopping or even office works, without meeting people face to face. What are the effects it may have on individuals and the society as a whole?文艺体育类补充Governments have been spending large amount of money on supporting art. Some people that public money should be better spent on health and education. Please discuss both views and give your own opinion.Whether governments should spend large sum of money on arts rather than health and education depends on the actual situation involved.· In developing countries, when the priority of governments is to serve basic needs of local residents, social infrastructures, such as schools and hospitals, should be the first consideration…Conversely…· However, some traditions concerning arts should be preserved before they become disappeared.· In developed countries, more money could be spent on art projects provided that there are enough schools and hospitals in terms of both quality and quantity.· However, governments should not fund those niche projects which are only regarded as art by very few people.环境话题讲义补充（本月考试次要题目）：如何解决环境问题· International cooperation: a global problem, the efforts of individuals or even individual countries cannot change the deteriorating situation. For example, the global warming has gradually melted the polar icecap and threatened many countries, such as Netherland. However, only these coastal lowland countries cannot solve theproblems, because the green house gas is produced by virtually all industrialized countries in world.· However, it does not necessarily mean that individuals can be neglected in the campaign of protecting the earth…. For example, he should file different types of rubbish; water should be recycled according to diverse function; consumers should choose environmentally friendly product; While governments have tried all the way out to solve problems caused in the past, individuals should not deteriorate them or even arouse new disasters.· Ban plastic bags: It may come across as something rather simple. when you actually do the math, the numbers are quite surprising. Every day in China, around 3 billion plastic bags are put into circulation. As such, every year this country has to use up 37 million barrels of oil to produce the plastic bags that we often take for granted.1. Is it better for students to live at home with their parents or in school accommodations? Give your own opinion on the issue.2. In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. What are your opinions on this?3. Differences between countries are becoming less evident nowadays. People tend to have the same films, music, brands, TV channels, etc. To what extent do you think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?4. Some people say that giving aid to poor countries has more negative effects than positive effects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?5. Several languages are dying out every year. Some people do not think it is important and say that our life will be simpler with fewer languages. To what extent do you agree or disagree.6. With the increasing use of mobile phones and computers, less people tend to write letters. Some people even think the skill of writing letters will disappear completely.

这个题目所列举的课程本身并没有优劣之别，只是考生自己的判断来决定优劣。

这个题目，表面形式是新颖的，但是本质上是“新瓶装老酒”换汤不换药。

本题完美地遵循了雅思写作测试原则，对一个基本语言技能展开命题：陈述社会生活和学习中某些现象或者事物的利弊。

考生如果掌握了对事物利弊分析的体系，并且掌握了基本的表达语言，应付这些问题简直是易如反掌。

要陈述一个事物的利弊，首先必须有对象，就是考生需要假定“观察者”的角色。

因为不同的观察者，同一个事物会有不同的结果。

对于某些人有利的，对于另外一些人就是有害的。

对于某些人重要的，对于另外一些人可能非常没有价值。

比如本道题目的题材是教育，课程分析的，所以涉及的主要对象是：学生，老师，家长，或者雇主。

如果没有确定观察者，怎么可以陈述事物的利弊呢？对于学生重要的，可能对于老师或者雇主轻如鸿毛。

所以这是考生应该做的第一步。

至于考生确定谁作为观察者，是没有限定，没有制约的，考生可以假定自己是学生，是老师，或者是雇主，或者是家长，或者是其它社会成员。

从全年看,2008 年大作文主要考题仍然以教育为主话题, 虽然其它话题如居住环境、旅游、高科技、代沟、传媒影响等没有什么大的变化 , 但具体的题型和出题的侧重点更加变化多端，有些考题，如果要在考场上短时间内要联系到以前准备的话题，的确不是易事。

一，提问方式稳重有变首先从提问方式上看，今年的变化不大，以复杂双边讨论为主。

单边议论也有，但不是很多。

值得注意的是，今年 3 月 1 日的考题中出现了一道考生不是非常熟悉的提问形式，给定几门功课，让考生从中选取课改后值得保留的科目。

这种多选题形式的考题形式出现的不多，所以可能会给考生造成一定的压力。

2008年8月16日雅思A类大作文范文可采用一边倒写法比较好写，相应的就是三个主体段，主体段1讲很多媒体当中的犯罪细节都是为了赚钱，所以可信度差；主体段2讲媒体报道犯罪细节对潜在的罪犯提供了指导；主体段3讲媒体报道犯罪细节对于犯罪受害者不公平，结尾段总结。

Some people think the media should not report details of crimes to the public.To what extent do you agree or disagree?With the crime rate hovering at high levels, the print as well as the broadcast media thrive on detailed crime coverage. They dedicate large proportions of their space or airtime to ghastly crime stories and this trend is showing no sign of abating.Whether the media should publicise detailed accounts of criminal acts has triggered spirited debate.Many assert that the news media should refrain from revealing details of crimes.Speaking from myself,I cannot agree more with their view.In the first place,given the mercenary motives behind most detailed crime coverage,it is advisable for us to discredit and discourage this practice.Today,most news outlets have their own crime reporters covering the police beat.Yet the principal purpose of such assignment is,in most instances,not to uphold the criminal justice system or to alarm the citizenry over some very real criminal threats,but to jack up newspaper circulations or television ratings. Consequently, much detailed crime coverage is biased, magnified, misrepresented,deliberately titillating or fraudulent.It only serves to terrorise communities and leave a multitude of law-abiding citizens constantly apprehensive, if not paranoid,about crime.In the second place,detailed reports of crimes by the press afford the potential criminals very instructive learning materials,which are hard to obtain otherwise. Recounting premeditated crimes in graphic detail in the public domain helps those who are in the process of planning some criminal act perfect their schemes.Drawing on the well-documented crime stories in the media,would-be criminals learn how to avoid the pitfalls in their crime,thereby making themselves harder to identify and track down after the crime is actually carried out.And this in turn,may aggravate the already soaring crime rate.Thirdly,detailed reports of heinous crimes may permanently traumatise the victims of the reported crimes.Without the victims’ consent,glaringly vivid and graphic accounts of flagitious crimes may constitute recurring nightmares to the individuals who hav e been victimised by these crimes.And given the pressure to “scoop” their rivals,to expedite things news outlets rarely consult the victims before they depict lurid details of horrific crimes to the public,in an attempt to satisfy the base curiosity of some crime-obssessed readers and viewers.In sum,detailed crime coverage in the media is,more often thannot,sensationalised so as to boost their market penetration.Even when some crime reporters wish to play the role of an objective chronicler, the divulged details can serve to facilitate future crimes and force crime victims to relive the horrible moments they experienced during the crime.And I am convinced if detailed crime coverage goes unchecked,it will continue to exert baneful influence on individuals,communities and societies.When you are old and grey and full of sleep,And nodding by the fire, take down this book,And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or true,But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;And bending down beside the glowing bars,Murmur, a little sadly, how love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overheadAnd hid his face amid a crowd of stars.The furthest distance in the worldIs not between life and deathBut when I stand in front of youYet you don't know thatI love you.The furthest distance in the worldIs not when I stand in front of youYet you can't see my loveBut when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together.The furthest distance in the worldIs not being apart while being in loveBut when I plainly cannot resist the yearningYet pretending you have never been in my heart. The furthest distance in the worldIs not struggling against the tidesBut using one's indifferent heartTo dig an uncrossable river For the one who loves you.。
