IELTS-1   

 

同學新春愉快! 又是新的一年到來, 首先希望同學們在2012年都能夠持續在英文上精進喔! 因應同學們的需求, 在此Allen對關於2012雅思作文方向做了一些預測與估計, 希望對同學有所幫助喔!


TASK 1

2012年若無意外, 圖表題應會以bar chart(柱狀圖)和pie chart(餅狀圖)作文為主,其次為line graph(線狀圖)。請同學們要多加練習喔! 不過, 今年上半年流程圖和地圖題也會有至少25%的出現機率, 請同學要多留心。流程圖應會以傳統循環類為主(e.g. 蠶寶寶生長過程, 玻璃瓶的回收等),地圖則是要著重看新舊區域的改變與對比(e.g. 一個海岸城鎮的發展跟規劃)。


TASK 2

上半年基本上Task2 仍是以argumentation(議論文)為主, 主要在詢問同學的opinion(意見)為主, 所以題型會以 benefits v.s. drawbacks / discuss both sides and give your own ideas為主。至於內容仍是以傳統三大類: 教育/政府/社會類為主, 政府類通常會搭配一個小主題, 如是否蓋博物館或管理個人生活方式, 或是政府如何分配資金等等。不過科技(e.g. 新能源開發) & 環保全球化的議題(e.g. 富國幫助窮國…)也要多留心。 以下是一些2012可能出現的題目, 大家可以這些方面來準備。
