12月14號的雅思考試題目中規中矩，適合分手。聽力部分語速平緩，題目簡單，除了section4部分的答案單詞稍微有點難之外，其餘沒有什麼槽點。閱讀文章同樣平平無奇。寫作部分的大作文也都是老生常談的消費主義/浪費主題，希望各位烤鴨們抓住機會，與雅思徹底分手。

WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Nowadays people are living in a 'thrown-away' society where they use things for a short time and then throwaway. What cause this and what problem it may lead to?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
題目類型：原因+問題
話題：環境污染 城市
思路／提綱：
原因:
1. 工業發達-大規模生產-價格下降-生活質量提升-用新品
2. 對消費的鼓勵
3. 對節約的宣傳，限制，教育不足
問題
1. 環境污染
2. 經濟負擔(分類，回收)
3. 助長盲目消費
範文：
The life span of items has been shortened ever since the great expansion of social economies, which results in their clear-cut destiny of being thrown away over a limited period after production. The major reasons of this lies in the development of manufacture industry and the consequent and indulged consuming habits of users, thus leading to some issues on environment, economy and citizens.
The formation of fast consuming culture depends on three main factors. The prime and fundamental one to blame is the great progress of technologies on goods production, which hence bring massive amounts of goods with more affordable prices. Moreover, the commodity producers have accustomed to minimize the life cycle of products and sell more by making improvements and generating new versions way more attractive to buyers. Lastly,no one including the government at first has encouraged or promoted thrift f or the public or at school, and all parties were enjoying the boost of economy instead.
The problems are obvious according to present global context. Environmental pollution, as the most apparent one, is now taking its toll by using land fill garbage to poison water sources, utilizing remains of fertilizers to contaminate the soil and feeding plastic waste to kill wild animals. As well as that, it cost a fortune to deal better with the disposals and the young who have adopted consumerism are suffering from peer comparisons and heavy debt.
To sum up, it seems to be infeasible to embrace people's previous consuming habits for the sake of life standard and economy. It is reasonable to fear a worse situation in the near future.

Part 2
Describe a school you went to in your childhood
You should say
Where it was
What it was like
What you learned there
And how you felt about it.
思路解析：在此題中描述學校是重點之一，但不是答案的全部，如果單純的描述學校的話（組織/外觀/功能等），答案會比較難組織。在描述地點的題目中，我們一定要加入personalexperience, 使得整個答案很具體。而此題目已經為我們指定了 personal experience –childhood. （注意提示中 what you learned
there，也是學校生活的一部分）所以我們就可以在描述中加入自己童年的學校生活，結合對學校的描述一起表達出來，這樣的話這道題答得輕鬆自然了。
解答文字版：
Ok, I would like to talk about my elementary school. It’s a typical community school from that time, I remember that it wasa 10-minute walk from our old apartment to that school. There were two teach buildings, each with 6 floors I think. The facilities were kind a old. we had blackboards and chalks, but no projectors, TVs or computers in the room. So the teachers would had to write down everything on board and we would copy them on our notebooks. The teachers were very strict on us back then, we were not allowed to talk, to eat, to drink or to not to pay attention in the class. Those are actually school regulations that I would have to learn by heart cause they did test me on that. The playground had always been a nightmare for me cause that’s where all the bullies hang out. They would pick up students from junior grades and take away their lunch money and most kids didn』t really have the guts to tell their teachers and parents. You know bullying is just part of the school experience that you have to go through, it’s the same everywhere. Ok, back on the classes, we learned the basics, like Chinese, math, music and PE. Almost all the classes were lectures, which was really boring, you know, for kids. But I don』t really blame the them cause the teachers didn』t really have a lot to work with back then. I go back to visit that places every few years, it’s like an entirely different school now cause everything is brand-new. But still, every time I visit it brings this nostalgic, and a little bit sad, feeling as the memories flash through your head. It’s my childhood. So yeah…

Part3
1. What’s the difference between teachers nowadays and those in the past?
凡是問到了現在和過去對比的題目，往科技發展（電腦/手機/網際網路）方面去擴展思路就可以了。此題中當代老師和原來的老師的區別也可以從這個點去分析：當代的老師更多的依賴於現代科技，導致了老師在課堂中扮演的角色也發生了轉變，從原來知識的源頭，轉化成了幫助同學答疑解惑的導師。
Well, teachers, or teaching for that matter, has gone through significant changes in the past 2 or 3 decades. Modern teachers are more versatile those days: apart from their own field, they have to learn about other subjects as well. For example, a physics teacher has to know a bit about computer science cause teachers use PPT all the time. He or she also has to learn about psychology or teaching philosophy in order to come up with better lesson plans. Also, with the rapid development of internet and easy access to online textbooks and courses, the role of modern teachers has shift from being the source of knowledge to a facilitator of learning. Students nowadays rely on teachers to clarify their confusions in learning more than passing down the knowledge.
2. What’s the difference between being taught by teachers and by AI?
此題目可以看作是是human VS robot 的變種。我們需要記住human 的優勢就是 human interactions. 而robot (computer / internet )的優勢就是速度快，方便。從此方面去舉例分析teaching的不同就可以了。
It’s the same difference between learning in the classroom and learning online. The advantages of learning in real class is that you get to interact with the instructor and get immediate feedbacks on learning, which is sometimes a better style for some people. However, it’s not as convenient as learning online, cause you do have to commute the class from time to time. That being said, our AI technology is getting smarter by the day, so maybe there won』t a difference in the future, who knows right?
3. What’s the difference between private schools and public schools?
此題是典型的 Public vs Private.
我們需要記住public 的優劣: cheap / crowded / old / less personals pace or freedom
以及private的優劣: expensive / more personal space or freedom/ fast / convenient
從雙方的優劣去分析學校之間的不同即可
Oh there are plenty. Unlike the US, however, the Chinese public schools are usually much better than private ones in terms of teaching quality. The private ones do have better facilities though. Public schools are usually overly crowded while private ones are much less so. What’s more, private schools usually provide students with more time and choices of extra-curriculum activities, while public ones are more focused on drilling and test-taking. There are exceptions of course, but that’s usually the case for most Chinese schools.

Psychology 心理學
Philosophy 哲學
Rapid 快速的
Access 使用權
commute 通勤
extra-curriculum 課外的
drilling 反覆練習
