以下为本次考试部分高频话题解析：

 

Part 1

  1. Teacher

 

Do you have a favorite teacher?

 

参考答案：

I really like the accounting professor in my university. He is a lovely old gentleman, and he would dress up like Dumbledore from Harry Potter to the classroom. We really enjoyed taking his lectures.

 

What kinds of teacher do you like?

 

参考答案：

I like teachers who are friendly and approachable. Luckily I’ve had many teachers like that. There are many teachers in my university who are very informative and humorous, and it’s easy to communicate with them.

 

Can you describe your high school teacher?

 

参考答案：

There’s one high school teacher that impressed me a lot, which is my math teacher, as I was really bad at math, consequently he didn’t really notice my existence. He even still got my name wrong after three years of teaching. That was hilarious.

 

What's the difference between young and old teacher?

 

参考答案：

Young teachers are more energetic and passionate, and can better understand and interact with students, while old teachers are more experienced and knowledgeable. They often take the lead in scientific research.

 

Part 2 & 3

 

Part 2

 

Describe a method that helps you save money.

You should say:

what it is

when you started to use it

how you knew it

and explain why it is useful

 

提示：

此话题属于“物品”类话题，可归为虚拟物品。一个省钱的方法，话题范围较广泛，可以描述一个记账的app，可以描述理财产品，可以描述逢年过节商家的促销，也可以描述日常生活中的省钱妙招，比如各种优惠券打折券等等。最后一问，为什么你觉得这个方法有用，可以说因为能够清楚记录钱款的来去，可以买到性价比更高的商品等等。

 

参考答案：

Speaking of a method that can save money, I would recommend an application called MyMoney. It is an app that can record your spending. I’ve been using it for almost a year. And it was my friend who recommended this app to me. He used to be a person who spent a fortune but had no idea where the money went. But ever since he started to use this app, everything was in control. I didn’t believe that at the first place, but still decided to give it a go. And surprisingly I found this app very multifunctional and useful. It will categorize your money into different groups, including bank statements, savings, investments and so on. And it will generate a detailed report for you to have a clear understanding about your asset. It’s almost like a mini personal bank. By using this app, I started to have a sense of financial management, I think it helps me a lot.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①give it a go： 惯用表达；试一试

Eg：If you haven't tried using it yet, you should really give it a go.

 

②multifunctional: 形容词；多功能的

Eg：Ms. Adams, who founded L.A. Closet Design five years ago, says she tells clients to think of closets as multifunctional living spaces.

 

③categorize: 动词；分类

Eg：As a society, we have come to rely on labels to categorize certain groups of people.

 

④ asset: 名词；资产，优点

Eg：Experience within a developing country in the national or regional implementation of cultural programmes would be an asset.

 

Part 3题目

 

1. Which group of people tends to spend more money in your country, young people or elder people?

 

参考答案：

I’m afraid it’s elder people who spend more money in my country. And this doesn’t mean that they are extravagant, they will spend their lifetime fortune on housing property, and usually they buy the house for their children. The price of housing property in big cities in China is soaring high. So in this case I think old people spend more money than young people.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①extravagant： 形容词；奢侈的，浪费的

Eg：While the hats are extravagant pieces of wearable art, they are also creative pieces of awareness.

 

②property: 名词；财产，所有权

Eg：He settled his property on his friend.

 

2. Is that necessary for schools to run classes about financial management?

 

参考答案：

It depends. Schools can run several classes about practical skills for students to choose. Financial management is of course a very important lesson, but not everyone is interested in it. So it is better to have other options like accounting or musical instrument. So that students can find out what they are really into and what they are really good at.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①instrument： 名词；仪器，乐器

Eg：Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for the instrument.

 

②be into： 词组；喜欢，热衷于

Eg：Travellers who are into airplane specs should look no further than the International Civil Aviation Organization.

 

3. Why do people tend to use their money for investment?

 

参考答案：

The ultimate purpose is to make more money. Good and smart investments can generate more return. For example, many people nowadays put their money into real estate market. They will buy as many houses as possible and wait for the price going up. They can either sell their houses at a much higher price to make a profit or lend it to others to have uninterrupted rental income.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①ultimate： 形容词；最终的

Eg：There are presently mixed views on whether inflation or deflation will be the ultimate outcome.

 

②uninterrupted: 形容词；不间断的，连续的

Eg：It has enjoyed 12 years of uninterrupted expansion, with annual growth averaging almost 4%.

A类小作文：

题目：

You should spend 20 minutes on this task.

The chart below shows the rate of males and females who were overweight in Australia from 1980 to 2010.

 

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

 

Write at least 150 words.

 

 

 

解题思路：

本次雅思考试的小作文部分考的是关于从1980到2010这30年期间内男女超重的情况分析。在描写的时候，一定要注意描述清楚不同时间的趋势变化以及数据分组（分段）。这个题目可以有两种思路，一种是男性体重和女性体重分开描述，各成一个主体段；另一种是按照年份特征，将1980至2000期间呈增长趋势的男女性体重在一段中描述，而将2000至2010期间的数据变化放在另一段描述。本文以第二种思路为例。

 

参考范文：

The bar chart gives information about the percentage of overweight men and women in Australia over 30 years from 1980 to 2010.

 

Overall, it is clear that this three-decade period witnessed a noticeable increase in overweight rate of both men and women in Australia, and the obese men clearly outnumbered their female counterparts.

 

During two decades from 1980 to 2000, the ratio of overweight males experienced an unbalanced increase from 47% to 70%. By the year of 1990, the overweight ratio had risen at a slower pace to just over 50%, while from then on, it rocketed to 70% in 2000. In the meantime, the overweight figures of the female saw a similar trend, rising gradually from 30% in 1980 to 50% in 2000.

 

  1. 2000 to 2010, the percentage of overweight men witnessed an opposite trend, with a slight decrease of 3%, while the overweight rate in the female remained stable at approximately 50% during this decade.

 

Word count: 158

 

重点表达：

①rate: n. 比率

②outnumber: vt. 数量超过

③counterpart: n. 对应的人或物

④ratio: n. 比率（=rate）

⑤rocket: vi. 快速增长

⑥see a similar trend: 呈现相似的趋势

⑦witness an opposite trend: 呈现相反的趋势

⑧remain stable at: 保持稳定在……

A类大作文：

题目：An increasing number of people are changing careers during their working life. What do you think are the reasons of this? Is it a positive a negative development?

 

题型：话题分析与利弊权衡

 

话题：社会生活类

 

解题思路：本次写作为报告类话题，在明确题目中给出的现象后，需要分析现象产生的原因，并对此进行优缺点分析。因此作文要涵盖至少4点内容：说明多个原因、列举出优点、列举出缺点、进行利弊对比。

 

参考范文：

The world nowadays has never seen a more frequent job change among young people than ever before, and this phenomenon tends to accelerate. In my opinion, such a trend is attributed to diverse factors internally and externally, and the merits prevail over the disadvantages.

 

There are many reasons for employees to try out different jobs, such as the relatively static payment in the same post, the company’s declining idea of promotion from the within, and people’s desire for a change. As far as I am concerned, all of these factors can be related to the fast-paced development of our society. New companies and corporations are popping up every day, providing loads of opportunities to the talented, and also posing threat to the traditional industries which are slow to react. Therefore, it is not strange to see so many people shifting between jobs, especially those who are more willing to accept anything innovative.

 

Yet quite a number of people express their worries on this trend. Employers are not likely to recruit someone with too many job-hopping experiences, and changing career means one has to start over from nothing, both of which could be destructive to the future development of an individual. However, we should bear in mind that gone are the days when we could support ourselves with expertise in only one field. To keep up with the rapidly changing world, companies nowadays needs versatile personnel to bring up creative ideas and demonstrate competitiveness in frontiers. Thus, with more experience in different jobs, one is more likely to explicate his ability to acquire new information, as well as the willingness to embrace the unknown challenges. These features exactly match the companies’ requirements to keep up with the progress on a global scale.

 

In conclusion, the burgeoning development of the world causes people frequently changing their jobs and manifests the results in various forms. I believe the high staff turnover has more advantages, as long as the employees have the qualities that well fit the job vacancies.

 

 

重点表达：

①phenomenon: n. 现象

②static: adj. 静态的

③promotion from the within 内部晋升

④job-hopping experiences 跳槽经历

⑤expertise: n. 专业技能

⑥versatile: adj. 有多种技能、学问的

⑦burgeoning: adj. 迅速发展的
