1.本次考试难度适中。
2.整体分析:
Task 1:两个柱图(1.六个国家人口密度;2.城市人口增长率)
注意:1.两个柱图描述对象不一样,需要分开整合数据;2.注意时态,看清时间状语;3.如果两个图之间有联系,可以在overview或作文结尾提及。
相关表达:
1、It is clear that … had the highest rate or population growth.
2、population density in … was the most
3、population density in … was almost double the equivalent figure for …
3.Task 2政府类话题
题目翻译:有些人认为政府应该投钱去寻找地外生命,有些人认为这是在浪费钱,因为地球上还有很多问题等待解决。讨论两方并且给出自己的观点。
从话题上来说,属于政府类话题,旧题新出。考察思路还是一样,只不过政府类话题大家都容易写的很空,论证一定要尽量详细、接地气。
从类型上来说,题目实质是想让考生衡量政府投资在太空项目与民生服务(public services)两个方面的利弊。观点一定要明确,并且注意论证的详细程度。
从结构上来说,可以通过四段完成写作任务:
段:改写题目+个人观点(放弃投资太空探索项目)
第二段:陈述反对投资太空探索项目/探寻地外生命的原因
第三段:陈述支持政府把钱花在与民生相关方面的原因
第四段:重申个人观点
Introduction:
一些国家的政府在太空探索项目,比如探寻地外文明(外星人)方面投入了很多经费。Governments in some countries spend large amounts of money on space exploration programs, such as attempting to seek for extra-terrestrial intelligence.我认为,这种行为就是在浪费钱,并且这些经费应该分配给民生服务方面。I completely agree with the idea that this is a waste of money, and that the funds should be allocated to public services.
Body 1:
Ts: 有一些原因可以解释为什么应该放弃像这样的太空项目。There are several reasons why space programs like this should be abandoned.
Ss: 首先,培训参与太空项目的科学家和其他员工的费用过于昂贵,并且设施设备对于政府也花费巨大。Firstly, it is extremely expensive to train scientists and other staff involved with space missions, and facilities and equipment also come at a huge cost to the government. 其次,探寻外星人不会让我们普通人的日常生活受益;它们仅仅是政治家用来炫耀的项目。Secondly, searching for aliens does not benefit normal people in our daily lives; they are simply vanity projects for politicians. 后,很多太空项目彻底失败了, 小的技术失误也可能会要了宇航员的命。Finally, many missions to space fail completely, and the smallest technological error can cost astronauts their lives. 挑战者号航天飞机灾难告诉我们太空旅行过于危险,在我看来不值得冒这个险。The Challenger space shuttle disaster showed us that space travel is extremely dangerous, and in my opinion it is not worth the risk.
Body 2:
Ts: 我相信投在太空项目的钱应该花在重要的民生服务方面。I believe that the money from space programs should go to vital public services instead.
Ss:比起培训宇航员或者在太空探索项目工作的科学家以及工程师,培训医生、老师、警察以及其他的公务员/民生服务人员要便宜的多。It is much cheaper to train doctors, teachers, police and other public service workers than it is to train astronauts or the scientists and engineers who work on space exploration projects. 另外,公务员/民生服务人员做的工作对每一位社会成员都有积极的影响。Furthermore, public servants do jobs that have a positive impact on every member of society. 比如我们都会去使用学校、医院以及公路,我们都会需要警察提供的安全。For example, we all use schools, hospitals and roads, and we all need the security that the police provide.如果政府重新分配花在太空旅游和研究上的钱,成千上万的人能够脱离贫困,或者生活质量会好。If governments reallocated the money spent on space travel and research, many thousands of people could be lifted out of poverty or given a better quality of life.
Conclusion
后,我的观点是政府应该把钱花在能让所有社会成员受益的服务方面,并且把钱浪费在不会提升我们日常生活的项目上是错的。In conclusion, my view is that governments should spend money on services that benefit all members of society, and it is wrong to waste resources on projects that do not improve our everyday lives.
