新东方第一季度IELTS回顾
新东方：2011年第一季度雅思阅读“战事”回顾2011年第一季度的雅思考试已经落下帷幕，最近在网上看到，也听到一些关于雅思考试阅读部分的传闻，这对于本已处在紧张备考阶段的考生来讲无疑是一个“雪上加霜”的“坏消息”。
笔者在第一时间撰写此文，一方面希望对于那些仍处在紧张情绪下的各位考生起到解疑和释怀的作用，另一方面也希望能够为处在备考阶段和即将投入雅思备考的各位考生指出在题型复习方面的热点和难点。
首先，我们来回顾一下在2011年1-3月当中雅思考试阅读部分所涉及到的文章和历次考试所涉及到的题型。
2011年第一季度雅思考试阅读部分所涉及到的文章从列表中我们可以看出：在2011年第一季度的12次雅思阅读考试中，前后有7次涉及到之前考过或是相类似的文章，“2旧1新”的情况只有2次，而这样的文章总共只有9篇；但是，这些数据在2010年第一季度的雅思阅读考试中分别为9次和13篇。
可以这么说，就采用之前考过或是相类似的文章数量而言，2011年第一季度还是较2010年第一季度“缩水”不少的！这样一来，雅思阅读“机经”在备考阶段对于各位考生的辅助性作用就不可避免地受到削弱。
这也就是为什么很多考生普遍认为雅思阅读在2011年变难的一个原因。
当然，从另外一个角度来讲，也说明有些考生过分地依赖“机经”，以致在复习阶段本末倒置，所以才会出现感觉题目偏难的情况。
在这里，我们再次强调：对于雅思阅读的复习，一定要将更多的时间和精力用在对于题型的复习上面。
这其中包括单词、语法和相应的解题思路或技巧。
在看过了2011年第一季度雅思考试阅读部分所涉及到的文章之后，我们再来看一看在这12次考试中所涉及到的题型以及不同题型在历次考试中被考查到的几率。
同时，也将这一数据与2010的情况做一下纵向的对比。
2011年第一季度各题型的考查率以及各月的平均值注：●为Passage One考到的题型; ●为Passage Two考到的题型; ●为Passage Three考到的题型根据列表中的数据我们不难发现：以Summary为代表的填空类题型的考查率在前三个月里分别为32.4%，21.9%和28.6%，尽管在二月份出现了小幅下挫，但依旧撼动不了其“题王”的霸主地位。

2011年1-8月雅思听力考情分析
2011年1-8月雅思听力考情分析2011年5月中旬，雅思官方公布了2010年全球雅思考试的成绩统计情况。
在一年一度的“华山论剑”中，德国以7.2分的雅思成绩蝉联世界第一的宝座，中国大陆的雅思平均分为 5.6分，比2009年的5.47分小有进步，但继续在40个雅思主要参加国中排名倒数第七。
其中，2010年中国雅思A类（学术类）考生听力平均分为 5.7，比起2009年的5.59有一定进步。
截止到8月底，2011年雅思考试共举办了32场，本文将通过回顾过去32次雅思考试听力部分，从题库、题型和场景三个方面，剖析雅思听力2011年上半年呈现出的特点，为2011年下半年的考生，提供科学的备考建议和学习方案。
题库篇2011年1月-8月雅思听力共出现128个section，其中全新的section为56 个，占整个出题部分的44%，旧题为72个section，占56%。
各个版本号出现的频率也不尽相同，V300XX和V09XXX各出现18 次，V08XXX为17次，V07XXX为8次，V06XXX和V10XXX各有4次，V05XXX为2次，其他版本仅有1次（详见下图）。
在重复的出现的旧题中，值得考生关注的是雅思官方对部分旧题进行了改编，例如，对选择题选项的顺序进行调整等措施。
这主要是防止雅思考生死记硬背机经从而“骗取”雅思高分的行为。
按照以往的规律来看，雅思听力部分下半年出现旧题的概率会相对较高，而旧题的重复又具备一定的规律性，由上图不难看出，2011年下半年雅思考试题库有如下特点：（1）2008年至今，V300XX版本号的题目是重复的重点；（2）前3年的新题重复可能性很大，所以，V08XXX、V09XXX版本号的新题是今年下半年重复的重点；（3）V10XXX版本号的新题不能掉以轻心，应该作为次重点来复习。
近年，雅思官方加大了雅思听力试题的研发速度，新旧题比例越来越接近，但是，雅思考试作为一项全球性的标准化测试，决定了其出题模式在相对较长时间内具备可延续性，不会发生重大的调整和变化。
znokaa雅_思考试(ielts)快速突破雅思口语、雅思听力、雅思阅读、雅思写作_
、|!_一个人总要走陌生的路，看陌生的风景，听陌生的歌，然后在某个不经意的瞬间，你会发现，原本费尽心机想要忘记的事情真的就这么忘记了..雅思考试(ielts)快速突破雅思口语、雅思听力、雅思阅读、雅思写作【雅思考前1个月冲刺——口语篇】雅思口语难不难？其实不怎么难，都考得挺主观的，只不过是人家的入门级别罢了。
可对于学中国式英语的人来说就不那么容易了，特别是口语一不小心就成了拖后腿的，成了考试里的短板。
不东扯西扯了，直接说提升口语的方法吧：紧跟最新考试情况。
每天去3G、无忧网、太傻网去看看机经，把近期题目都过一遍。
买些有针对性资料练习。
推荐《十天突破雅思口语》、《雅思口语900句》之类的，可以在网上搜一下，根据自己的水平来选择，上面有很多素材和topic，你坚持每天读，多记忆，多少就会有些用。
每天安排几分钟演讲。
演讲内容很简单，说说当天的感触，发生的事儿，就是对当天的一个总结，然后计划一下明天。
推荐最好是找个搭档一起练习，或者参加一些英语角之类的，与真人对练效果更佳，有外教培训纠正发音就更好了。
练习纯正发音。
最reliable的评价考生口语的方法就是发音。
无论考生用什么再难的单词和语法，只要发音有问题，恐怕在考官的眼里，分数肯定不会很高。
所以，对于英语基础薄弱的学生来说，与其花很多的时间去攻克单词和语法，不如把时间更有效的投入到发音上。
推荐迈西背单词软件，认认真真把雅思单词过了的同时，一定要跟读多次，把语音弄准。
打有准备的战。
基础薄弱的考生几乎不可能在短时间内将自己的英文能力提高到一个能够应对任何雅思口语话题的水平。
所以考生们如果要考到一个好的分数，最好的方法就是提前准备。
推荐一个好方法：事先编好大约8到10个比较长的故事，保证这几个故事基本上能够将一些经常考的话题都涉及到。
这样一来，考生们就能在最短的时间内得到最大的leverage。
【过来人谈备战雅思口语经验】My goodness雅思成绩比我预料的提前出来了，分数出来的页面一打开，那叫一个刺激，seven!----that’s my whole year’s dream.作为过来人，看到许多考友为了向往的国外生活在雅思考试上死了一地脑细胞，背了无数资料，可考试时，那些死记硬背的东西往往在口语这关败下阵来。
2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文
2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文Felix2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文2011.1.8Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, however, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.For centuries, people have fantasized that someday robots could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants. Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence researches. However, the issue of the wide application of robots can be deemed as beneficial as detrimental.On the one hand, there is no denying that robots bring about an array of positive aspects, such as high work efficiency and low work risk. First, the workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes, which allows individuals to be involved in other activities. Second, it is widely acknowledged that robots could do dangerous jobs instead of people in high risk businesses like mining and construction; therefore, a host of people’s safety can be ensured to a considerable degree.On the other hand, a great number of people hold an opposite opinion, asserting there are numerous demerits which should not be neglected. To begin with, people lose jobs when machines take their places, especially in the mass production industry such as automobile business. In factories of the famous carcompany Ford, almost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision. As a consequence, employees will have great pressure. Admittedly, there are indeed some occupations that robots might perform much better than human beings, but they cannot work in a flexible way as people do, and they are less likely to make corresponding changes once something unexpected happens. Then human beings’ supervision tends to become imperative.Taking all factors into account, robots have many merits that make our life easier and more convenient, but workers may suffer from unemployment stress. (292 words2011.1.15Nowadays, some workplaces tend to employ equal numbers of men and women workers. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? The gender imbalance has long been a general phenomenon in the labour market. Some analysts argue that it is impossible to eliminate the underrepresentation of women in job markets, while others propose that women should be entitled the same opportunity to be engaged in a position. The essay will compare these two opinions before giving my own opinion.From some people’s point of view, the practice that equal numbers of male and female workers should be employed is unreasonable. First, the packed-schedule of certain positions is likely to make women so busy with their jobs that their family life is neglected. Another point is that it is much easier for female workers to be influenced by marriage and motherhood, and their jobs are often interrupted by daily domestic events. To keep the continuity of work, employers are more inclined to put male workers into their top priority. Opponents of this issue hold that the positive aspects of the practice are more influential. First of all, employing equal numbers of male and female workers can help create positive working environment, for it is usually the case that men or women perform less aggressive in the face of the opposite gender. Second, there is a large possibility that men and women workers bring their respective talents into full play since men are more determined and less likely to be affected by external influence and women are generally more careful and patient. Finally, the move could be regarded as a sign of equality, for in many workplaces, employers used to limit the numbers of women workers and welcome a substantial percentage of males to join them. The practice that equal numbers of men and women workers are accepted indicates the realisation of women’s value.To sum up, it does bring drawbacks to some workplaces if equal numbers of men and women workers are employed, but this cannot deny the benefits of the practice. This essay is inclined to maintain that equal numbers of male andfemale workers can be employed in the same workplace given that there is a rational division of labour, with all employees developing their own particular advantages for mutual benefits.(360 words)2011.1.22Nowadays some people have the anti-social behaviors such as committing crimes. What are the reasons? Who should take responsibility for dealing with it?A dramatic rise in crime rate during the past several years has become a major concern among the public. It is urgent to identify the underlying root causes and adopt proactive approaches.A variety of factors are responsible for the surge of anti-social behaviors such as committing crimes. The predominant factor resulting in this problem is the lack of education. People who fail their school or know little about laws have a much higher likelihood of committing crimes. Excessive exposure to violence is another cause that leads to anti-social behaviors , especially the juvenile delinquency. Without the proper parental guide, some young adults will probably become addicted to the Internet and become heavy net users. Some contents are contaminated by online violence and pornography, which is closely linked to youngsters’ aggressive behaviors.Accordingly, the crime prevention requires the joint efforts from both the government and parents. The government should increase its intervention, including launching public anti-crime campaigns, enforcing new laws and popularizing education. A civilized society is characterized by a high literacy rate and a low crime rate. The negative relationship between these two parameters implies that one will be away from a life of crime if given the access to education. To tackle youth crimes, parents should play a more supportive and loving role, attaching more importance to their children’s emotional needs, limiting their access to unfavorable contents on the Internet, and creating more interesting after-school entertainment.As suggested above, this unpleasant phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, including poor education and lack of parental supervision. The government should take more effective measures to curb crimes and parents are supposed to give correct instructions to their children.(279words)2011.1.27Some people think that it is necessary to travel abroad to learn about other countries, but other people think that it is not necessary to travel abroadbecause all the information can be seen on television and the Internet. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.There is a new trend that an increasing number of people choose to travel overseas to form a global perspective. This issue is full of controversy, with concerns being expressed over whether it is necessary to go overseas to know more about other countries, since all the information can be gained through either television or the Internet.A serial of benefits can be brought by traveling abroad to learn about a different country. Initially, it is a memorable life experience that we cannot acquire in our domestic country. As a result, only in real life contexts can people comprehend the culture, customs, or its people etc. Sound as the above statement seems, there are still a group of people holding the view that there is no need to travel abroad. The main factor is that the advanced technology, such as televisions, the Internet, can provide people with almost any information about other places. However, it is unpractical to rely on the media excessively to get any news they want to obtain. Spreading rumors on the Internet are always happening around us. Therefore, only when we experience them personally, can we confirm the accuracy of the information.To sum up, it is imperative for people to travel overseas to learn different nations. Televisions and the Internet are, to some extent, a feasible way to obtain information, but the real experience of traveling abroad largely outweighs the dependence on the media to learn about a different country.(245words)2011.2.12Tourism is an excellent way to develop country, but it also can cause some harm. How can a country ensure tourism benefit the development? The market of international tourism is flourishing as never before and is playing a vital part in the development of one country. However, this booming is accompanied by the soaring number of tourists, which may bring about a substantial number of demerits. Therefore, how to guarantee the sustainable development of tourism and develop our tourism vigorously will be analyzed in this essay.The merits of tourism to one country’s development are beyond doubt. For one thing, tourism can attract a host of foreigners to visit and consume during the tour. For another, the excellent impression of the places of interests will enhance one country’s international image and then stimulate international investments in not only tourism but also other essential sections. Meanwhile, the demerits of unguided tourism can never be ignored and will be represented as follows. First, a sizeable percentage of people may pose a threat to the historical buildings. Second, trash produced in an astonishing amount goes with the super large flow of people, particularly during the peak tourist time. Third, a vast number of people flood into one place, whichaggravates the traffic pressure greatly, contributing too much inconvenience to the local dwellers.To handle above problems and ensure tourism can attract people continuously and benefit economy development, the following methods are strongly suggested. Initially, government should pay close attention to the protection and renovation of historical buildings. Subsequently, the awareness of environmental conservation should be strongly strengthened among the public, therefore efficient environmental campaigns are inevitable. Ultimately, reasonable distribution and improvement of transport facilities should be put on table.(262words)2011.2.17Some believe creative artists should be supported financially by government of their county, but some others suggest creative artists find finance support in other sources instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Arts play a significant role in individuals’ lives. It is widely acknowledged that sufficient investment for artists is necessary if people strive to develop arts. However, whether the government should support them financially or they should find support from other sources arouses a contentious argument.On the one hand, it brings about a wide range of blessings for the government to give financial aids to creative artists. First, the artistic level is more likely to get a promotion with stable fund guarantee. As a result, creative artists can be fully dedicated to their jobs. Second, considering the great significance and profits that arts generate for the nation, for instance, providing numerous products and designs that drive innovation and shape a state’s cultural character, the government should encourage the development of arts with financial assistance.On the other hand, people hold an opposite point of view, asserting that creative artists should gain financial aids from other resources. To begin with, compared with other employees earning money by themselves, creative artists are supposed to strive for the financial support from other sources by their own efforts rather than depend on the taxpayer’s expenses. Furthermore, finding financial support on their own allows creative artists to have enough pressure to motivate themselves, producing great works. Most importantly, in many industries, such as advertising, design, trade show，creative artists are always in shortage. As a result, it is not too hard to access the supply of fund if they have qualified works.As suggested above, financial support from the government indeed generates an array of benefits for creative artists. However, the real creative artists are someone who work with their own strengths to obtain sponsorships, instead of relying on the government.(287 words)2011.2.19Some people think that women should play an equal role as men in military force or police force; others say women are not suited for such kind of work. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.Over the past several years, the change in women’s participation in nearly every walk of life has been beyond people’s wildest expectations. However, a heated debate with regard to whether women should play an equal role as men in military force or police force has arisen, which draws enormous attention from the public.On the one hand, some people assert that since the society consists of nearly equal numbers of both genders, sex discrimination must be eliminated and ladies can make the same amount of contribution to the police force and military force. The first standpoint is that females have inborn merits standing them in good stead. They are less likely to commit faults, for they are good at tackling matters with accuracy and caution. In addition, another impressive and prominent personality trait is that females have great endurance of hardships, especially under grueling conditions, and their tenderness allows them to excel in positions involving interaction and communication with human personnel.Notwithstanding their strengths, females have some limitations they may need to overcome. One obstacle which cannot be ignored is the social attitude. Females have to cope with the pressure exerted by their families, acquaintances or friends, as serving the army is widely seen as a deadly job which is exclusively for males. The other one is females’ physical and mental qualifications. It is commonly known that homicides and robbers are mostly strong, fierce and cruel, and policewomen are more likely to become victims rather than bring them to justice. Also, it seems to be true that military training and the war field could be too intense and sometimes brutal, far beyond the limits of ordinary women’s physical and mental levels.In conclusion, females should be viewed as equal to males in the defense force and their presence should be encouraged. Nature gives different attributes to both men and women, which is supposed to optimize the productivity and efficiency of the society, rather than cause gender discrimination.(327 words)2011.2.26Countries should try to produce all the food that population eats and import food as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?There has been a steady increase in the demand for importing food throughout the world in recent years. There are indications that this trade activity has brought various benefits, but importing food is very often criticized as unnecessary and extravagant, especially when air freight is involved.It is important to note that importing food is becoming increasingly popular among the general population. This is mainly due to the fact that countries differ in their product structures because of dissimilar natural resources, climates and geographic features. By adopting an enlightened policy and promoting trade activities with other countries, a country can facilitate the exchange of goods, services and capitals with the rest of the world and promote economic development. However, some countries might become addicted to importing and overlook the possibility of developing a self-contained economy. Government funding in the scientific research can make it possible to achieve a breakthrough on the scarcity of resource and increase the yield, thereby resolving the food supply crisis.Moreover, countries in our planet vary in terms of their resource distributions, climatic conditions and topography, which, to a large extent, affects their population as well as the food production. The imbalance between the capability of producing food and the food consumption makes it hard for a country to produce all the food to meet its people’s requirements.As suggested above, it is unpractical for every nation to supply all the food that the population need, and under favorable conditions, import of food ought to be encouraged. (251words)2011.3.5Some people believe governments should spend money in saving languages of few speakers from dying out completely. Others think this is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your opinion.Of the thousands of languages in use now, some are used by a huge number of people, like English and Chinese, while some others only have very few speakers. With the increasing efforts of the international community to save those languages used by few speakers, a debate as to whether governments should take measures to save them has arisen.Supporters of governments’ efforts to save the languages verging on extinction hold that any effort made to preserve a language is well worthwhile. As is known to all, each language is loaded with an enormous cultural heritage, reflecting the knowledge, thought and faith of its speakers. Preserving a language which is dying out, we conserve the cultural diversity; losing a language, we lose a cultural heritage. Rare animals cannot be wiped out just because they are few, and old buildings of historical value cannot be pulleddown owing to its bad condition. In the same vein, languages with few speakers cannot be abandoned to their fate.Opponents to governments’ measures to save the languages from the brink, however, claim that the efforts are nothing but a waste of money. First, preserving such languages from extinction, which needs a considerable sum of money, and lets alone substantial human resources, does not bring real benefits. The money spent in unrewarding activities, if invested in more significant undertakings such as poverty alleviation, AIDS combating, scientific researching, etc., will be greatly beneficial to man. Moreover, preserving a language is not conducive to the world peace. After all, when marooned in their own world, people become less receptive to and tolerant of things and values different from theirs, a situation which can easily rub salt against wounds and thus gives rise to antagonism and even hatred.In conclusion, my opinion is that it is worthwhile for governments to spend money saving languages with few speakers, or languages facing extinction. A language is a cultural heritage, which is invaluable and certainly merits preservation at any cost.（329words）2011.3.10In some countries, children start school at the age of seven, so they could have more time to build relationship with their parents. In othercountries, some think that children start school as young as possible. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.It is true that a substantial number of students start school at seven or later in some countries and their parents believe it is significant to establish closer relationship with their children. Conversely, some people from other countries are in favour of the idea that the earlier schooling, the better relationship with parents. Personally, I intend to support the later opinion.A sizeable percentage of people, especially in the developing countries, are convinced that children should be educated in their early age at home to form a strong connection with their parents. For one thing, such a close connection can enhance not only parents’ authority but also their influence. As young children might be affected by others, including friends and strangers, to form unpleasant behaviour, parents must guide their children to distinguish the good from the bad authoritatively. For another, the close relationship can help children to maintain the confidence to face the new things appearing in their life constantly as they know their parents can help them to deal with them if needed.However, a substantial percentage of parents in the developed countries are of the belief that it is earlier schooling instead of later one that can help the foundation of children-parents relation. For one thing, young children will definitely meet friends in the school and learn from them. Bad influence as it may exert, teachers will guide students to avoid bad influence and teach themhow to handle this problem properly. Parents can gain information immediately from teachers and communicate with their children after school, thereby forming a better relationship. For another, early schooling enables children to deal with problems on their own, and this can trigger their confidence to face challenge independently. With their growth, they will realize numerous problems cannot be handled independently, they would ask for their parents’ help, which can noticeably promote the family relationship.My view is that starting school as soon as possible can enlighten and awaken children’s awareness concerning the relationship with friends and teachers when facing problems, therefore enhancing and ensuring the parents-children relationship by handling tho se problems under parents’ instruction and suggestion.(354 words)2011.3.12Competitiveness is a positive quality for people in most societies. How does this affect individuals? Is it a positive or negative trend?It is not uncommon today that competitiveness has been penetrating into people’s everyday life and has been deemed as one of people’s essential merits. This essay tends to illustrate how individuals have been influenced bycompetitiveness and sufficient analysis over whether it is a beneficial or detrimental trend will also be demonstrated in an array of aspects.A host of people assert that it is a beneficial trend for human society in terms of the upsides it brings about, such as the economical boom and improvement of public health. In the first place, competitiveness is inclined to boost the economy at an international level. For example, as a result of the competitiveness, all companies may strive to invest a substantial number of money to produce new products for more profits, thus contributing to the convenience of people’s daily life. In the second place, it will also accelerate the betterment of public health care. As individual country will compete for improving its own citizens’ life, medical care would be thought highly of by the authorities and global death toll from diseases may largely decrease. Meanwhile, a significant number of people hold a negative view towards competitiveness. They say a sizeable percentage of people will lose jobs due to the heated competition in all areas. In this way, it is baneful for a large number of people and the government in turn will shoulder more pressure from those jobless people. They also believe fierce competition may result in deterioration of our environment. They fear that a massive proportion of factories may pursue profits at the expense of environment. Take paper-making industry for example. Factories will sacrifice acres of forests to live on in the competitive society.To sum up, I tend to believe a certain degree of competitiveness is necessarily adopted in order to have the society progress, while contentious competitiveness will inevitably spark off impairments to our life both physically and psychologically.（321words）2011.3.19Computer technologies are more accessible and cheaper, as a result, more adults work at home and children study at home. Is this a positive or negative development?As a result of the soaring advancement of technologies, the use of computer has become prevalent in people’s everyday life. For example, a substantial number of people ranging from workers to students prefer to work and study at home instead of physically sitting in the office and at school.Few would deny that learning or working through computer at home seems beneficial to people in a number of aspects. Initially, the most obvious merit can be attributed to the release of traffic jams. Since less people tend to use the public or private vehicles commuting from work or school to their home, there is a lower possibility of the incidence of traffic jams. Subsequently, it is convenient for people to work or study at home. Distance learning program is a good casein point. It is the distance learning programs through computer that largely helps people who are unable to go to school have access to education.On the contrary, a host of people oppose the opinion above. They believe working or studying at home will probably reduce the communication among colleagues and classmates. They fear that this may encourage people to be more indifferent to others, thus resulting in relationship not as close as in the past. Another consideration for those people lies with people’s physical impairments induced from sitting in front of the computer too long. Since all work needs to be done on computer, barely can people spare a minute for rest and a cup of coffee, which will inevitably hazard people health.All in all, this development can be taken as beneficial as detrimental. It is acceptable for people to work or study with computer at home for sake of the convenience it brings about, but it will also spark off health-related problems and the decrease of people’s social interaction.（304 words）2011.4.2Many people think that cheap air travel should be encouraged because it gives ordinary people the freedom to travel further. However, others think that this leads to environmental problem, and so air travel shouldbe more expensive in order to discourage people from having it. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.In today’s world, advanced transportation technology has made travelling modes more diverse than ever before. Some people prefer air travel to other ways due to taking the airplane being more comfortable and going further. They, consequently, consider that the cheaper air travel is, the more benefits ordinary people gain, while others especially campaigners for environmental protection propose that w e should limit air travel through increasing the air travel’s price. I think this is an impractical suggestion.Cheap air travel, which can benefit the less-wealthy people, is an inevitable fact of life. Because of the stagnant market and the fierce competition in the area of civil aviation companies, numerous promotion programs are offered to passengers which make air travel affordable for ordinary people. Moreover, air trips make it possible for people to travel around the world quickly and freely, which ensures the growth of modern industries such as international tourism. However, those people who insist on limiting air travel through raising tickets’ prices can reduce environment pollution have made a huge mistake. Air trips can ferry far more passengers and are also much longer than others. Therefore, when we think an increasing amount of pollution is produced by air of per passenger and kilometer travelled, the other travel mode such as a car journey is no more fuel-efficient and environment-friendly than a flight. Discouraging people to travel by air, which will cause less pollution, is a certain improper act.In conclusion, cheap air travel has become an inescapable trend. Instead of persuading people to sacrifice their comfort and convenience, we should focus on improving clean and renewable fuels and more efficient airplanes that will not put the environment in danger. (279 words)2011.4.16Many people believe it is important to protect environment, but they make no effort to do it themselves. What is the reason? Do you have any suggestion for individuals to protect environment?The issue of environmental degradation, if not solved effectively, is believed to impose a severe thr eat to people’s survival in the years ahead. The significance of protecting environment has been staggering into the public, but few people take actions to do it. The reasons will be analyzed followed by some responsible solutions.Several reasons would account for the discouragement of individuals to take few actions to protect environment. First, it is true that tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale and complexity of environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources, so individuals choose to relieve their duty rather than do as much as they can to cope with these problems. Another obstacle which makes individual actions almost impossible is government intervention or even。

复习指南：6大个性化答题法决战雅思口语中国学生在回答问题时，太爱寻求标准答案。
比如在一次模考过程中，学生一进门，考官一般都会问：“How are you?”而相当一部分学生只会回答：“Fine, thank you, and you?”多一句都不会说。
整个上午下来，答案也基本都是“Fine, thank you.”之类的答案。
于是考官刻意对后面的考生这样问道：“It's freezing outside, how are you?”可得到的回答依然是“Fine, thank you, and you?”这样的回答并没有错误，我们的课本上就是这么写的。
但是其实针对“How are you?”这样的问题，老外的回答可以是多种多样的。
例如：“Great, cheers!”、“Pretty good!”、“I'm okay!”、“Could be better. Thanks!”、“Not too bad. Thanks, yourself?”透过上面的例子我们不难看出，虽然说评分主要是根据客观语言能力，但打分毕竟还是个主观的过程，如果你说的内容不那么千篇一律而能引起考官的兴趣，那么相比与你同等语言水平的人，你在分数上极有可能会更讨巧。

复习指南：6大个性化答题法决战雅思口语中国学生在回答问题时，太爱寻求标准答案。
比如在一次模考过程中，学生一进门，考官一般都会问：“How are you?”而相当一部分学生只会回答：“Fine, thank you, and you?”多一句都不会说。
整个上午下来，答案也基本都是“Fine, thank you.”之类的答案。
于是考官刻意对后面的考生这样问道：“It's freezing outside, how are you?”可得到的回答依然是“Fine, thank you, and you?”这样的回答并没有错误，我们的课本上就是这么写的。
但是其实针对“How are you?”这样的问题，老外的回答可以是多种多样的。
例如：“Great, cheers!”、“Pretty good!”、“I'm okay!”、“Could be better. Thanks!”、“Not too bad. Thanks, yourself?”透过上面的例子我们不难看出，虽然说评分主要是根据客观语言能力，但打分毕竟还是个主观的过程，如果你说的内容不那么千篇一律而能引起考官的兴趣，那么相比与你同等语言水平的人，你在分数上极有可能会更讨巧。
众所周知，雅思的口语考试分为三个部分，分别为Part1: Daily conversation，Part2: Individual long run 以及Part3: 2 way discussion. 我们在第一部分就要提供足够"雅思"的答案来给考官留下一个深刻的印象，因为极有可能两个问题之后考官凭经验已经在心中给你打了个分，接下来的问题都只是在证明这个分数而已。
如何使答案与众不同吸引考官呢？答案一定不能千篇一律，准备的时候要注意个性化！个性化体现在我们回答问题时思维的独特性和立异性。
一些有个有创造性的答案往往可以独辟蹊径，获取高分。
下面就口语考试Part1: Daily conversation中的一些问题，为大家举例说明雅思口语考试中的6大个性化答题法：拟人答题法，谚语答题法，逆向答题法，细节答题法，迂回答题法和幽默答题法。
拟人答题法TelephoneExaminer: Do you think cell phones are important for modern people? 你认为手机对现代的人们重要么？Candidate: Speaking of my little girlfriend——Nokia N91, I will have to say: she's like an angel. I had never seen anyone so beautiful before in my life. I was simply hooked on her the first time I saw her. I would always take her along with me wherever I go. My cell phone comes with a digital camera and has turned the vast world into a tiny little village. It's no exaggeration to say: mobile phones make the world go around!说到我的女友：诺基亚N91.我必须说，她就像我的天使。
在我生命中从没有遇到过任何人如此美丽，我第一次看到她就被她吸引住了。
我走到哪都带着她，我的手机有摄像头，可以把偌大的世界变成很小的村庄。
毫不夸张地说：手机让世界转动起来了。
这种回答题方法其实就是把各种实物人格化，赋予这些实物以新的生命。
比如：谈到天气问题的时候，我们大可以把北京的沙尘暴变成魔鬼，把鲜花变成美化城市的天使，如此一来，答案自然不会显得枯燥无味。
谚语答题法TelevisionExaminer: How does the news influence people? 新闻如何影响人们？Candidate: News influences people by only reporting certain things and leaving out parts that could matter. One sided news or journalism isn't news but propaganda in my opinion. It's like that good old saying: Some people would rather believe the lies of Satan than the truth of God。
新闻只是通过报道某一些事情或者报道部分事情来影响人们。
在我看来：片面之词的新闻或报道不是新闻而是宣传或导向。
就像那句谚语说的：人们宁愿相信撒旦的谎言，也不去相信上帝的真理。
恰当地运用谚语可以使我们的语言活泼风趣，增强答案的表现力。
谚语有时还可以用来作为说理的根据，证明某种思想观点，起到画龙点睛的作用。
英语中的谚语多半在民间口语中广泛流传，表达人们丰富的社会生活经验，处处闪耀着智慧。
对于英语谚语的积累，希望考生们能从平时一点一滴做起，时刻留心观察。
逆向答题法FlowersExaminer: Do you like flowers? 你喜欢鲜花儿么？Candidate: Not at all! I'm a little strange. They remind me of funerals. I like grass. 一点都不喜欢，我这个人有点怪。
鲜花让我想起葬礼，我喜欢草！MusicExaminer: What type of music do you like? 你喜欢什么类型的音乐？Candidate: Well, I am not too fond of music. But sometimes I do like listening to religiousmusic. It gives peace to my mind and joy to my soul.我不是特别喜欢音乐。
但有时候我喜欢听些宗教音乐，它让我感到安静祥和。
逆向思维就是跳出常规，反向而行，换一种眼光，换一个角度看问题。
从而发现别人没有发现的新事物、新动态、新思想。
逆向思维的作用就是摆脱大多数人的思维模式所作的事情，去寻个别的、新鲜的人和事，从而做到与众不同，出奇制胜，获取高分。
细节答题法Your StudiesExaminer: After you graduate, what effect do you think you will have on society? 毕业后，你认为你会对社会有何影响？Candidate: Well, it's a tough question. Let me see. I think I can make an impact in our local community by helping those people around us when we can. May not go down in History, but we may gain a place in someone's heart. That's all I can figure out now。
这是个难题，我想一下。
我认为我可以在社区里帮助那些需要帮助的人，可能不会留垂青史，但至少在一些人心中占有了一定的位置。
这种答题方法又可以叫做：以小见大答题法。
我们在口语中容易犯一些错误：其中之一就是很多同学喜欢说很深刻的大道理，但在雅思口语考试中应该以小见大，举小例子来说明自己的观点。
细节答题法的好处是能将"小我"的生活积累和人生体验与社会风云和时代精神连接起来，使难度较大或主题宏阔的写作内容简单化，同时也为真实的、个性化的情感表达找到了一个合宜的方式和路径。
"以小见大"常常是以实写虚，以小角度写大境界。
迂回答题法Your StudiesExaminer: Do you like your university? 你喜欢你的大学么？Candidate: Well, it's ok. I don't really like things that are academic and theoretical, but there's great campus life.还可以，我不喜欢学术的东西，但是那儿的校园生活很棒！迂回思维就是旁敲侧击，不是正面接触而是绕道而行。
思维时做到侧面多、角度多，从其他方面回答考官提出的问题也可以起到相同的效果。
幽默答题法MusicExaminer: If you had the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, what instrument would you learn? 如果你曾有机会学习一种乐器，你会学什么？Candidate: No, nothing! I am very unmusical! I cannot even sing in tune. Also, instrument's always pretty expensive. If you are really into music, just whistling will do. 什么也不学，我没音乐细胞，甚至唱歌都跑调儿。
而且乐器通常都很贵，如果你真喜欢音乐，吹口哨也一样。
口语考试中切忌紧张，如果能在回答时用上适当的幽默，不但能使答案增色不少，还可以让考场气氛轻松下来，何乐而不为。
