10月份题目难度级别起伏较大。 一方面,利好消息是出现了很多重复的旧题,这包括了改革后的原题以及改革前的修改版本。 但另一方面,抽象话题的比例相当高—在口语和写作中都出现了不同程度的抽象主题。 题目类型方面,在本月的九场考试中,写作题目涵盖了教育类话题3道,社会政府类3道,生活类3道,分布比较均衡。一起来看一看上个月都出了什么题吧!或许它们会出现在下个月的考场上。

写作

大学应该提供证书认证课程还是学位课程 This week, we'll be discussing the future of education. Let's focus now on the following viewpoint: it is no longer useful to spend many years pursuing a traditional, specialized university degree in a single field, such as communications or economics. Instead, it makes more sense for most people to complete several shorter certification programs and earn certificates in, for example, project management, computer programming, graphic design, and so on. Do you agree or disagree with this viewpoint? Why? ?点评: 新题目,难度较高。不少同学可能不理解certification program的意思而偏题。 ?解析: 提供学位课程。理由一:学生能够dig deeper in a certain field;理由二:学位是很多岗位的admission ticket。

大学提供人文课程,然后有些人就说应该所有人学习人文课程,但是有人说让学习数学物理的理科生也去学习人文课程浪费时间而且耽误毕业,然后让你来评价。 Your university currently requires all students to take one humanities course in a subject such as literature or philosophy in order to graduate. However, some students majoring in subjects such as math and science think that these humanities courses are not relevant to their field of study, and they should therefore not be required to take them. Do you agree with these students? Explain why or why not.
