三种常考话题
作文是许多雅思考生心中永远的痛,凯德雅思提出“十篇作文搞定雅思六分”(以下称“十篇”)帮助许多学生实现了有效率的提高写作水平和分数。
教学方法的革新永远是学生的福音,作为新颖的教学方法,“十篇”教学法的第一阶段是扎实基础,通过专门的写作词汇整理学习,结构、技巧、论证的方法掌握了解,和阅读有效的范围,每个学生都能够得到长足的进步,当然一切的前提是有效,所有的基础工作都是建立在凯德教研组研究的基础上,学生所学习的内容都是最新最有效的部分,这种效率的工作让不少学生克服了作文的病痛,取得了高分。
当然,在正式练习写作的阶段,不同基础的学生将在老师的指导下完成不同主题、不同篇幅的文章,这些文章都是经过严格的筛选,由于每次考试的预测内容不同,每个班级的学生拿到的文章甚至略有不同。通过典型性文章的写作练习,也就是说写文章很有可能就是即将考到的文章,学生掌握每种文章的方法,也学习了举一反三的能力,就能够轻松应对雅思作文考试。
那么2006年究竟考什么?学生要注意什么?在本篇中,我做一个大致的勾勒,具体考试内容预测还要在每场考试之前。
在说完了写作提问部分的规律后,就该谈一下话题部分的情况了。写作部分虽然出题很灵活,但总结起来,有3种话题在考试中经常出现,这里举一些2005年的例子,希望学生重视这些题材和内容:
