三種常考話題
作文是許多雅思考生心中永遠的痛,凱德雅思提出“十篇作文搞定雅思六分”(以下稱“十篇”)幫助許多學生實現了有效率的提高寫作水準和分數。
教學方法的革新永遠是學生的福音,作為新穎的教學方法,“十篇”教學法的第一階
段是扎實基礎,通過專門的寫作詞彙整理學習,結構、技巧、論證的方法掌握瞭解,和閱讀有效的範圍,每個學生都能夠得到長足的進步,當然一切的前提是有效,所有的基礎工作都是建立在凱德教研組研究的基礎上,學生所學習的內容都是最新最有效的部分,這種效率的工作讓不少學生克服了作文的病痛,取得了高分。
當然,在正式練習寫作的階段,不同基礎的學生將在老師的指導下完成不同主題、不同篇幅的文章,這些文章都是經過嚴格的篩選,由於每次考試的預測內容不同,每個班級的學生拿到的文章甚至略有不同。通過典型性文章的寫作練習,也就是說寫文章很有可能就是即將考到的文章,學生掌握每種文章的方法,也學習了舉一反三的能力,就能夠輕鬆應對雅思作文考試。
那麼2006年究竟考什麼?學生要注意什麼?在本篇中,我做一個大致的勾勒,具體考試內容預測還要在每場考試之前。
在說完了寫作提問部分的規律後,就該談一下話題部分的情況了。寫作部分雖然出題很靈活,但總結起來,有3種話題在考試中經常出現,這裡舉一些2005年的例子,希望學生重視這些題材和內容:

事實上,以上三種話題幾乎已經佔據了全部考題的一半,其重要性實在不容忽視!而我們也看到了雖然是同一個話題,但是內容卻差別很大,我們通過瞭解這些話題只能瞭解雅思的出題關注重點,那麼我們平時在複習的時候就要關注積累相關的例證,因為06年的變化趨勢是對於論據的要求明顯提高了。另外,一切文章圍繞一個主題,一些例證和語言組織方法是可以“一個中心,幾手準備”的,也就是可以根據不同主題靈活的將已經掌握的文章變成題目要求的文章,這種技巧在凱德雅思的課堂中會重點練習。
