Part 2题目

Describe a situation (or a time) when you helped someone.

You should say:

What the situation was

Who the person was

How you helped the person

And explain how you felt after helping the person.

提示：

此话题属于“事件”类话题，助人为乐。此类问题有可能问的是你帮助别人，或者别人帮助你的情况，要注意灵活转换。可以描述很多情况，比如问路、搬家、辅导作业、工作中的帮助等等。在谈及感想时，根据所帮助的内容与结果的不同，可以谈助人为乐的好处，也可以谈一些伸手党，理所当然接受帮助的情况。

参考答案：

I remember one time when I was on the subway, there was a foreigner sitting beside me, and he was talking to someone else, I thought they were friends so I didn’t really pay attention. All of a sudden, he turned to me and said “Can you speak English?” I was a bit surprised and looked at both of them. It came out they didn’t know each other, and the foreigner was actually asking directions, but the girl beside him doesn’t speak English. So I helped to check his address on Baidu map, and found out that he took the wrong subway. I told him the correct line and direction, and wrote down the address he was about to go in Pinyin.

I was happy to help strangers. There was one time I saw a boy helping an old man carry the heavy luggage upstairs, and I was moved. This time I myself was able to help someone else as well. I felt great that I can be of some help to others. It is important for us to help each other and create a helping society.

重点词汇及表达：

①all of a sudden： 常用表达；突然，忽然

Eg：And all of a sudden, it came so crystal clear to me who this guy was.

Part 3题目

1. In your view, should children be taught to help others?

参考答案：

Yes, I think so. Children can learn a lot of things by helping others. They can learn to be less selfish and more willing to share with others. If children can learn to be friendly and helpful, in return, he or she may be treated nicely by others as well. It will help them become a popular person.

重点词汇及表达：

①selfish： 形容词；自私的

Eg：Judging by his actions, he is rather selfish.

②willing: 形容词；乐意的，心甘情愿的

Eg：Jay Carney was willing to discuss the programme this week, mainly because NBC News published the paper.

2. Do you think people are less willing to help others these days, compared to the past? (Why?/Why not?)

参考答案：

It is sad to say yes. Nowadays we are afraid to help others, because we are not sure if the person is really in need. Some people may pretend that they are in trouble, when you help them, they’ll blame you for causing the trouble and sometimes you have to pay for a ridiculous amount of money, either compensation or medical fee. So nowadays people are getting more and more indifferent.

重点词汇及表达：

①compensation： 名词；补偿，赔偿金

Eg：We hope that a representative will soon be appointed to come here for the discussion on the compensation.

②indifferent： 形容词；冷漠的，漠不关心的，不闻不问的

Eg：This is no surprise given that investors are largely indifferent to pre-IPO compensation practices.

3. Do people today trust others as much as they used to in the past?

参考答案：

I think people nowadays trust others less than before. In the past, people who lived in the same community knew each other and helped each other, and they were friendly to strangers as well. However nowadays, we don’t really know who our neighbors are and seldom talk to them. And we hesitate to help strangers because we are afraid of being cheated.

重点词汇及表达：

①community： 名词；社区

Eg：The community is densely populated.

②hesitate: 动词；犹豫

Eg：However, if our office can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A类小作文：

题目：The bar chart below shows changes in percentages of population in four countries in the total population around the world in 1950, 2002 and the prospection in 2050.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

解题思路：

本题为较为常见的条形图。首先可以概括整体情况，中、印人口占比最大，日本最低。具体描述可以分为图例的三个年份。1950年，中国人口占世界人口比例最高，其次为印度。2002年，印度人口占比上升，而其他三国比例皆下降。2050年，印度人口占比将超过中国，成为四国中最高。中国、日本人口占比将下降，而美国则将保持不变。需要注意的是，1950年和2002年是过去的时间，时态需要用过去时。2050年是将来的时间，需要用将来时或一般现在时表将来。

参考范文：

The column graph gives data on the proportions of global population in four nations in three different years, including the projection for the year 2050.

As is obvious from the illustration, China and India take up the highest share of population in all these years, while the overall figure for Japan was and will still be the lowest throughout the period.

Specifically, China took a lead in 1950, with nearly a quarter of the world population. It was followed by India, which represented around 15% of the global figure. About 8% of people in the world were from the USA, compared to a share of less than 5% from Japan. In 2002, the percentage of the Indian population rose visibly to approximately 18%, while the rest three countries—China, the USA and Japan—all witnessed a moderate decline in their ratios.

Following this trend, it is predicted that India will account for a higher global share in its population and reach nearly 20% in 2050, surpassing China and making it the most populous among the four. By contrast, the 2050 population proportions of China and Japan are expected to drop to around 15% and 2% respectively. Meanwhile, the number for the USA is likely to remain the same at 5%.

重点表达：

①projection: n.    预测

②take a lead:      领先

③represent: v.   等于，相当于

④compared to:   与…相比

⑤surpass: v.     超过

A类大作文：

题目：Nowadays advertising aimed at children is on the rise. Some people think this has negative effects and should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

题型：同意与否题

话题：媒体类

解题思路：本次考察的话题是过去多次考过的一道旧题，考察媒体与青少年的教育。需要提醒烤鸭们的是，本道题不仅仅在问广告的利弊，要注意题目中的aimed at children修饰语，限定了对象是针对孩子的广告，在讨论时要把children结合进来。

参考范文：

Nowadays, individuals are surrounded by all kinds of advertisements, some of which are directly aimed at children and will inevitably influence their life significantly. Therefore, the questioning against children-targeted advertising has started. However,

I personally am not convinced by the suggestion that such advertisements ought to be forbidden.

It is obvious that advertisements aimed at children can be misleading and bring potential dangers to young people. As manufacturers and companies are often profit-oriented, they have a tendency to exaggerate the merits of their goods but conceal their demerits. As a result, kids and teenagers often cannot resist the temptations and ask their parents to buy commodities that they barely need, falling into the trap of impulsive consumption. A case in point is children's toys, as a huge amount of money has been wasted on purchasing toys regardless of price or functions. Besides, children overly exposed to advertisements will develop consciousness towards brands, which may lead to comparing and competition with their peers at school.

However, it is not a wise policy to ban those advertisements completely. As one of the major benefits of advertisements is that they make contribution to the economy, those aimed at children contribute to the whole industry of children-related products. If those advertisements were to be banned, the whole industry would be seriously affected. In addition, not all of television ads contain misleading or even harmful information. Public service ads serve to educate and help young people to develop good habits and become qualified citizens. Therefore, it is not advisable to prohibit all advertising of children's products.

In conclusion, advertising targeted at children should be strictly scrutinized and regulated by authorities, whereas simply banning all ads is never a good solution.

重点表达：

①profit-oriented: adj. 利益导向的

②exaggerate: v. 夸张，夸大

③impulsive consumption: 冲动消费

④consciousness: n. 意识

⑤public service ad: 公益广告

⑥scrutinize: v. 仔细检查
