2.變

所謂外行看熱鬧，內(nèi)行看門道。對(duì)于一個(gè)雅思寫作教學(xué)數(shù)年經(jīng)驗(yàn)的老師而言，筆者發(fā)現(xiàn)其實(shí)劍八跟劍橋的以往教材還是有很多的變化。

2.1 大作文的出題類型

我們?cè)俅位仡^看看劍八的第2套題的大作文

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology.

In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make?

Has this become a positive or negative development?

這道題顛覆了傳統(tǒng)的Discuss both views and give your own opinion.和 To what extent do you agree or disagree?的出題方式。

這是一道典型的Report與Argumentation的復(fù)合題。難度比傳統(tǒng)的題型明顯要大，即使上過雅思培訓(xùn)班的學(xué)生也不一定會(huì)解題，一是沒有練過筆無從下手，而是老師不講解此類考題。

其實(shí)這種類型題目在2010年考過一次：

10.10.09

Some countries have introduced a law to limit working hours for employees. Why is this law introduced? Do you think it is a positive or a negative development?

這種題型在劍八里面出現(xiàn)說明雅思寫作單項(xiàng)的難度正在加大，傳統(tǒng)的兩邊倒四段式寫作法正在受到挑戰(zhàn)，考生必須有所心理準(zhǔn)備和技巧準(zhǔn)備。

劍八的第3套題也再次印證了上面的推斷！

我們回放一下原題吧：

4.In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing.

What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them? 劍八 Page 79
