Part 2題目

Describe a situation (or a time) when you helped someone.

You should say:

What the situation was

Who the person was

How you helped the person

And explain how you felt after helping the person.

提示：

此話題屬於“事件”類話題，助人爲樂。此類問題有可能問的是你幫助別人，或者別人幫助你的情況，要注意靈活轉換。可以描述很多情況，比如問路、搬家、輔導作業、工作中的幫助等等。在談及感想時，根據所幫助的內容與結果的不同，可以談助人爲樂的好處，也可以談一些伸手黨，理所當然接受幫助的情況。

參考答案：

I remember one time when I was on the subway, there was a foreigner sitting beside me, and he was talking to someone else, I thought they were friends so I didn’t really pay attention. All of a sudden, he turned to me and said “Can you speak English?” I was a bit surprised and looked at both of them. It came out they didn’t know each other, and the foreigner was actually asking directions, but the girl beside him doesn’t speak English. So I helped to check his address on Baidu map, and found out that he took the wrong subway. I told him the correct line and direction, and wrote down the address he was about to go in Pinyin.

I was happy to help strangers. There was one time I saw a boy helping an old man carry the heavy luggage upstairs, and I was moved. This time I myself was able to help someone else as well. I felt great that I can be of some help to others. It is important for us to help each other and create a helping society.

重點詞彙及表達：

①all of a sudden： 常用表達；突然，忽然

Eg：And all of a sudden, it came so crystal clear to me who this guy was.

②be about to: 詞組；即將，正打算

Part 3題目

1. In your view, should children be taught to help others?

參考答案：

Yes, I think so. Children can learn a lot of things by helping others. They can learn to be less selfish and more willing to share with others. If children can learn to be friendly and helpful, in return, he or she may be treated nicely by others as well. It will help them become a popular person.

重點詞彙及表達：

①selfish： 形容詞；自私的

Eg：Judging by his actions, he is rather selfish.

②willing: 形容詞；樂意的，心甘情願的

Eg：Jay Carney was willing to discuss the programme this week, mainly because NBC News published the paper.

2. Do you think people are less willing to help others these days, compared to the past? (Why?/Why not?)

參考答案：

It is sad to say yes. Nowadays we are afraid to help others, because we are not sure if the person is really in need. Some people may pretend that they are in trouble, when you help them, they’ll blame you for causing the trouble and sometimes you have to pay for a ridiculous amount of money, either compensation or medical fee. So nowadays people are getting more and more indifferent.

重點詞彙及表達：

①compensation： 名詞；補償，賠償金

Eg：We hope that a representative will soon be appointed to come here for the discussion on the compensation.

②indifferent： 形容詞；冷漠的，漠不關心的，不聞不問的

Eg：This is no surprise given that investors are largely indifferent to pre-IPO compensation practices.

3. Do people today trust others as much as they used to in the past?

參考答案：

I think people nowadays trust others less than before. In the past, people who lived in the same community knew each other and helped each other, and they were friendly to strangers as well. However nowadays, we don’t really know who our neighbors are and seldom talk to them. And we hesitate to help strangers because we are afraid of being cheated.

重點詞彙及表達：

①community： 名詞；社區

Eg：The community is densely populated.

②hesitate: 動詞；猶豫

Eg：However, if our office can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A類小作文：

題目：The bar chart below shows changes in percentages of population in four countries in the total population around the world in 1950, 2002 and the prospection in 2050.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

解題思路：

本題爲較爲常見的條形圖。首先可以概括整體情況，中、印人口占比最大，日本最低。具體描述可以分爲圖例的三個年份。1950年，中國人口占世界人口比例最高，其次爲印度。2002年，印度人口占比上升，而其他三國比例皆下降。2050年，印度人口占比將超過中國，成爲四國中最高。中國、日本人口占比將下降，而美國則將保持不變。需要注意的是，1950年和2002年是過去的時間，時態需要用過去時。2050年是將來的時間，需要用將來時或一般現在時表將來。

參考範文：

The column graph gives data on the proportions of global population in four nations in three different years, including the projection for the year 2050.

As is obvious from the illustration, China and India take up the highest share of population in all these years, while the overall figure for Japan was and will still be the lowest throughout the period.

Specifically, China took a lead in 1950, with nearly a quarter of the world population. It was followed by India, which represented around 15% of the global figure. About 8% of people in the world were from the USA, compared to a share of less than 5% from Japan. In 2002, the percentage of the Indian population rose visibly to approximately 18%, while the rest three countries—China, the USA and Japan—all witnessed a moderate decline in their ratios.

Following this trend, it is predicted that India will account for a higher global share in its population and reach nearly 20% in 2050, surpassing China and making it the most populous among the four. By contrast, the 2050 population proportions of China and Japan are expected to drop to around 15% and 2% respectively. Meanwhile, the number for the USA is likely to remain the same at 5%.

重點表達：

①projection: n.    預測

②take a lead:      領先

③represent: v.   等於，相當於

④compared to:   與…相比

⑤surpass: v.     超過

A類大作文：

題目：Nowadays advertising aimed at children is on the rise. Some people think this has negative effects and should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

題型：同意與否題

話題：媒體類

解題思路：本次考察的話題是過去多次考過的一道舊題，考察媒體與青少年的教育。需要提醒烤鴨們的是，本道題不僅僅在問廣告的利弊，要注意題目中的aimed at children修飾語，限定了對象是針對孩子的廣告，在討論時要把children結合進來。

參考範文：

Nowadays, individuals are surrounded by all kinds of advertisements, some of which are directly aimed at children and will inevitably influence their life significantly. Therefore, the questioning against children-targeted advertising has started. However,

I personally am not convinced by the suggestion that such advertisements ought to be forbidden.

It is obvious that advertisements aimed at children can be misleading and bring potential dangers to young people. As manufacturers and companies are often profit-oriented, they have a tendency to exaggerate the merits of their goods but conceal their demerits. As a result, kids and teenagers often cannot resist the temptations and ask their parents to buy commodities that they barely need, falling into the trap of impulsive consumption. A case in point is children's toys, as a huge amount of money has been wasted on purchasing toys regardless of price or functions. Besides, children overly exposed to advertisements will develop consciousness towards brands, which may lead to comparing and competition with their peers at school.

However, it is not a wise policy to ban those advertisements completely. As one of the major benefits of advertisements is that they make contribution to the economy, those aimed at children contribute to the whole industry of children-related products. If those advertisements were to be banned, the whole industry would be seriously affected. In addition, not all of television ads contain misleading or even harmful information. Public service ads serve to educate and help young people to develop good habits and become qualified citizens. Therefore, it is not advisable to prohibit all advertising of children's products.

In conclusion, advertising targeted at children should be strictly scrutinized and regulated by authorities, whereas simply banning all ads is never a good solution.

重點表達：

①profit-oriented: adj. 利益導向的

②exaggerate: v. 誇張，誇大

③impulsive consumption: 衝動消費

④consciousness: n. 意識

⑤public service ad: 公益廣告

⑥scrutinize: v. 仔細檢查
