TASK 1
題目：柱狀圖
新通老師分析：今天的圖表作文是動態(tài)圖中的柱狀圖，兩組對比對象(男女性/不同年齡段)。因此在寫作的過程中不僅要注意趨勢的描寫，還要注意不同年齡段以及男女性之間的對比。同時也要注意不同年齡組的替換表達方式。具體寫法可以結合劍5的test2 以及劍6的test 4 關于柱狀圖的寫作。
TASK 2
新通老師分析：考題屬于教育類，最近教育類話題一直是重點，希望同學們也要重點關注。就此題而言，正反方觀點的確認難度稍微增加了些，但是只要考生仔細審題，把握基本原則，一般情況下是不會跑題的。我們把“instead of sending them to school”這個部分暫時去掉，會發(fā)現(xiàn)題目的雙方分別是：1. It is good forparentsto educate their children at home; 2. It is badfor parents to educate their children at home.
參考范文：
Domestic learning seems to be an increasingpopularity these days, and a number of educationalists have different opinions overwhether it is of benefits or drawbacks for parents to choose home learning.Personally, based on distinct circumstances, this trend proves to be adouble-edged knife.
On the one hand, there are many advantages oflearning at home and high learning efficiency is one of them. Parents are moreactive to manage to satisfy an individualistic learning pattern of theirchildren, for example, by observing the academic performance, learning habitsand attitudes towards different subjects. However, this cannot be achieved inlarge-scaled class teaching. To be more specific, common students at schoolhave limited choices to learn what they are enthusiastic about in comparison tothose who are allowed to have home study, they are given the advantage todevelop various potentials in study such as talent in arts or in science. Lesspressure is considered to be another ameliorative point in this respect. Forthose who are vulnerable inside, learning subjects at home are thought to be agood way to avoid peer pressure. While at educational institutions, learningmotivation is likely to be inhibited by self-consciousness, thus hinderingknowledge acquisition.
On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages that cannot be ignored. Firstly, apart fromtheoretical knowledge, other developments including those regarding socialskills and physical growth are the big worries. Since adolescents are exposedto a comparatively closed learning environment, it is of little chance for teamwork and PE programs. There is also teaching quality to be considered as well,parents who have not been trained professionally usually could not providesystematic teaching outlook and learning difficulties cannot be addressedstrategically in most cases, this may lead to a demotivation of young learners.
To conclude, every coin has two sides, and thisis the same case with domestic learning. What adults need to remember is tofind appropriate solutions to combat the problems identified above. (329 words)
