A類小作文

題目：The chart below shows the average height of men in four different countries between 1775 and 1975.

題型：線圖

解題思路：這張圖的四條線基本都是上升的趨勢，我們可以採取按照數據大小來分段。途中很明顯的是美國與英國的趨勢比較相近，而法國和丹麥雖然在起始時數據相近，但在最後分別是最大值（丹麥）和最小值（法國）。

參考範文：

The line chart illustrates males' average height in Denmark, U.S.A, Great Britain and France from 1775 to 1975.

Among the four countries, men from the Great Britain had the tallest height of 165 centimetres in 1775, followed by American men who were about 5 centimetres shorter on average. These two countries shared a similar trend during this period of time as we can see from the graph. Males' height both fluctuated in the 19th century and for a time around 1900, their average height of men even equaled. Then the figure began to rise steadily, reaching 175 centimetres in the year 1975. 

On the other hand, French men on average were the shortest in 1775 at about 150 centimetres, while males from Denmark were slightly taller than them. However, after a minor fall till about 1900, the average height of Danes skyrocketed to around 185 centimetres in 1975, surpassing that of the British and Americans, whereas the height of French men had a slower but steady increase to less than 165 centimetres.

Overall, the graph shows that the average height of men from these four countries increased at different paces during these two hundred years.

A類大作文

題目：Traffic and housing problems in major cities could be solved by moving large companies and factories and employees to the countryside. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

題型：同意與否題

話題：社會類

解題思路：題目中方案不全然合理，可以在第一個主體段進行讓步，說明該方案部分解決交通和住房問題，在第二個主體段說明該方案實施起來有困難，鄉村的教育、醫療、娛樂設施

無法滿足人們的需求。最後一段進行總結。

參考範文：

Nowadays, the problems of traffic congestion and high price of housing in large cities are becoming increasingly prominent. Some people suggest that big companies and manufacturers as well as their employees should be relocated to rural areas. I think this approach could be effective to some extent, but it may not be a feasible plan.  

It is undeniable that the relocation policy may partly alleviate the traffic and housing pressure, as the dense population in the city is one of the main causes of these problems. With a large proportion of people moving away, there will be less housing demands and the real estate market may also go down. Besides, if the workforce no longer needs to commute inside the city, traffic jams especially the rush hour congestions could be eased to a large extent.

However, it is not a practicable policy to move large population to the countryside. Employees of big companies are likely to refuse to live in rural areas, where there are not as many high quality resources of education, medical services and entertainment facilities as in the city. It may become inconvenient for them as they may need to travel long distance to go shopping or send their children to school. In addition, the two problems cannot be fundamentally solved solely through the relocation method. More things need to be done such as infrastructure construction in the countryside and resource sharing.

In conclusion, the problems of heavy traffic and lack of adequate accommodation may be relieved to a certain degree. However, taking other aspects into consideration, I think this policy is difficult to put into practice.

重點詞彙：traffic congestion, relocate, prominent, feasible, alleviate, fundamentally, infrastructure

重點表達：It is undeniable that…; be likely to; to some extent; it is not a practicable policy to…; take…into consideration.

Part 2

1. Describe a small business you want to have in the future.

You should say:

What it is;

What you need to prepare for it;

Where you want to have this business;

And explain why you want to have this business.

標籤：事件類，難度係數3星

參考答案：

Well, to be frank, I would often dream that I could have my own bookstore as a small business so that I could hide myself inside to enjoy the pleasure of reading and make a living out of it simultaneously.

However, I do realize that there has to be quite a few things I need to settle before I can run this business. First of all, I must find a proper location for my bookstore and after some thinking, I believe I should have it in a neighborhood where there are a certain number of people who are into reading. Therefore, they would probably come to visit and possibly purchase books at my store on a regular basis, and second of all, I suppose I might have to carry out a survey to find out what sorts of books might interest those people who live nearby so that the books in my store can better tailor to their demands for reading.

Speaking of the reasons why I want to run this small business, it not really because I wish to make a fortune out of it. Instead, the major reason is that reading has always been my favorite hobby, and to run a bookstore of my own would mean that I could get easy access to all sorts of books and have fun reading in my own bookstore.

In addition, having a small business like that allows me to enjoy some flexible working hours so that I can take control of my time to make my own arrangements, which means a free lifestyle makes it possible for me to decide what I really want to do with my life.

重點詞彙及表達：make a living; simultaneously; run business; be into; on a regular basis; carry out; nearby; tailor to; make a fortune; get access to; flexible.

2. Describe the politest person you know

You should say:

Who this person is

How you know this person

What he likes to do

And explain why you think he is such a polite person

標籤：人物類，難度係數2星

參考答案：

Well, speaking of the politest person that I know, I have to say Peter is absolutely the one who is also a nice neighbor of mine. I can still remember it was a drizzling afternoon when our family moved to the complex, and that was around 5 years ago. We happened to run into him downstairs during the move, and he first politely greeted us and then offered to help us, which was really unexpected.

A few days later after we all settled, there was one morning when I walked out for work as usual, I noticed Peter stepping out of his house, and then I came to realize we actually lived on the same floor, so naturally we started a short conversation after we entered the elevator. From the small talk with him, I got to know that he was an IT guy working in one of the international companies downtown, and he would go jogging every morning for about 20 minutes before he went to work, and also he would swim with a couple of his friends on the weekends.

With the great impression our family hold on him, we actually asked him to hang out with us a few times. And there was one time when we invited him to come over for dinner. After the dinner, we chose to watch a movie. However, my 5-year old boy started acting so naughty because he wished to see one cartoon movie instead. Seeing this, Peter first approached my son and then smiled to him gently saying “I think it is a great idea to watch a movie you pick.” Therefore, we all ended up watching one cartoon movie. Therefore, from what he did and said, I could say Peter is such a loving and considerate man.

And to give you another example that there was one time when we asked him to go camping with us. Not only did he bring snacks as well as water, but surprisingly, he even brought a first-aid kit just in case anyone might get hurt. What’s more, he even offered to take turns driving on the way to the destination and the way back home.
