再預(yù)測下個(gè)月初的獨(dú)立題目之前，我們還是一樣先來看看過去的10場考試題目，通過它們再分析接下去的考試趨勢，會更具說服力。

在過去的這10場考試中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)涉及教育話題2次，科技產(chǎn)物媒體媒介等3次，個(gè)人品質(zhì)1次，其余的尤其是最近的幾次都涉及了個(gè)人相關(guān)的涉及價(jià)值觀方面層面的，例如個(gè)人如何看待在pets上的投入，如何看待效率，如何對待夢想等問題，雖然這些問題都很跟我們息息相關(guān)，可是我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)要真正寫好還是有一定的難度的。例如4.18的夢想題目，對于這些有些“虛”的關(guān)鍵詞，我們可以先具象到某個(gè)具體事物，然后展開。下面我們就給出5個(gè)看似簡單但下筆會無神的題目，給予一個(gè)思路，大家可以盡情練習(xí)下。

Students who keep their rooms neat and organized will be more likely to succeed than students who do not. Do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Brainstorming:
　　Ask yourself: what is the key factors or elements of success?
　　1. Admittedly, being well-organized is one of the crucial factors
　　2. Other qualities like diligence, persistence are significant factors as well
　　3. Psychological qualities: be brave to take risks or face challenges

Patience is usually not a good strategy. We should take action now rather than later. Do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Brainstorming:
　　Ask yourself: what is the difference between “being patient” and “taking action”? Yes, the saying comes into your mind “Opportunity knocks but only once”.
　　1. Taking immediate action can contribute to quicker success. (grasp the chance)
　　2. Taking action can help accumulate more experience (be adept in facing adversity; build up confidence/bravery)
　　3. Admittedly, being patient could help us avoid potential dangers and losses

Some jobs pay high salaries to employees but require them live far away from their family and friends.Some jobs pay low salaries but allow employees to live closer with their family and friends.Which kind of choice do you prefer?

Brainstorming:
　　Ask yourself: which is more important: money/career or love from family or friends
　　1. Admittedly, material life can be guaranteed or realizing one’s value is important
　　2. Intimate relationship ensures a satisfying life (facilitate the work)
　　3. Quality time cannot be bought by money

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is now easier for people to become educated than in the past. 

Agree
　　1.the easier access to information allows individuals to learn easily (online courses; training schools in spite of traditional schools)
　　2.the economic support plays a role in receiving education
　　3parison: in the past, the weak awareness of receiving education; mainly focus on survival.

The friends that you can have fun with are more important than the friends that you can get help from?
　　1. Admittedly, the benefit of friends who can have fun with: see sth from positive perspective
　　2. Helpful friends can help overcome the adversity
　　3. Establish enduring friendship

Can two people be good friends if one person has more money than the other?

最后兩個(gè)題目都是跟朋友有關(guān)的，大家可以利用自己的價(jià)值觀評定下the meaning of a friend然后就會知道怎么展開這題目了。對于這兩個(gè)題目我們就給個(gè)常用話題詞庫，大家一起brainstorming下吧。

the principle of making friends 擇友的準(zhǔn)則
　　congenial friends = like-minded friends 志同道合的朋友
　　a trustworthy/reliable/dependable friend 值得信賴的朋友
　　a humorous friend = a friend with great sense of humor 一個(gè)幽默的朋友
　　sincere friends 真誠的朋友
　　intimate friends 親密的朋友
　　lifelong friends 一生的朋友
　　similar disposable income 相似的可支配收入 
　　share common interest 有共同愛好
　　be attracted to shining virtues/qualities被品德所吸引
　　maintain a harmonious relationship 保持和諧的關(guān)系
　　sb are more likely to become bosom friends 某人更有可能成為知己
　　A friend in need is a friend indeed. 患難見真情
　　The most essential standard to judge a true friend is whether he or she will provide us with timely support in time of plight. 判斷好友的最重要的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是，是否他或她愿意在逆境中給我們提供及時(shí)的幫助。
　　A humorous friend can never fail to help us to see the sunny side, especially when we feel frustrated and depressed. 幽默的朋友可以幫助我們看到積極的一面，尤其是當(dāng)我們感到沮喪和挫敗的時(shí)候。

因此，無論實(shí)際考試碰到涉及價(jià)值觀方向的題目，腦海中一定要有具體化題目中關(guān)鍵詞的意識，只有這樣段內(nèi)才是有理可說的。
