四、媒體、廣告類

媒體廣告是我們生活必不可少的元素，當然也就成了雅思的又一熱門考題。此類別下的題目種類繁多，朗閣海外考試研究中心在此僅舉兩例作簡要說明。

GROUP ONE:

【真題實例】:

寫作：The high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising but not the real need of the society where such products are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

口語：What are the advantages and disadvantages of advertising?

Do people usually buy goods after watching advertisements?

What forms do advertisements take? (Part 3 questions)

【指點迷津】: 寫作中關(guān)于廣告優(yōu)缺點討論的題目有很多，我們在此給出的例子沒有直接這么問，但是本質(zhì)上而言還是近乎一樣。在討論廣告是否決定物品銷售時其實就是在回答以上所列的口語問題的第二個，即人們會不會因為看了廣告而去買東西。而口語的第三個問題需要用到的一些詞匯可以從寫作中積累，如：海報廣告（poster），廣告牌（billboard），傳單（flyer）。

GROUP TWO:

【真題實例】:

寫作： Surveys show that more people get the news by watching television than by reading the newspaper. Do you think TV news shows are adequate as a person's only source of news?

口語：Which way is more favorable for people in your country to get information? From TV or newspapers?

Is information on the internet reliable? (Part 3 questions)

【指點迷津】: 寫作和口語都是關(guān)于獲取信息途徑的討論，并會逐條涉及各種途徑的優(yōu)缺點，話題完全重合。相似指數(shù) ★★★★。

五、政府、社會類

此類話題包括政府投資（藝術(shù)、博物館、科研項目等），國際合作，貧富差距，城市發(fā)展，弱勢群體（老人、婦女、小孩）。

GROUP ONE:

【真題實例】:

寫作：These days, it seems that an increasing number of people are leaving rural areas to live in the city. Discuss some of the effects of rural depopulation (migration from the country to the city) and suggest some ways in which this trend could be reversed.

口語：Which do you prefer? Living in the city or in the countryside?

Describe a city you would like to move to.

You should say:

where this city is

what is special about it

when you would like to move there

and explain why you choose this city rather than others.
