烤鴨們
2018年1月份的雅思考試已經全部結束了！
本月一共進行了四場雅思考試， 分別是：

請大家仔細閱讀今天的文章！

Task 1
從以上小作文的題型分佈來看， 2018 年1月延續了2017年1月的考試風格， 第一場考了非資料圖表(2018：地圖---2017：流程)。
所以非資料圖表應該也會像2017 年一樣被重視， 基本上每個月都會考一場流程或者地圖， 烤鴨們在準備時應該要多關注這兩種非資料圖表。
備考建議 Preparation Tips
平時在練習時地圖題以C9T1（小島的變遷）為練習材料， 流程圖則以C12T8（地熱能發電）和C10T4（三文魚的生長過程）為練習材料。
資料圖表類型覆蓋的面比較廣， 基本上是每種圖形輪流考了一遍， 除了表格圖，
二月份剩餘幾場考試（2月3、10、24）的同學， 建議這幾種資料圖表都要關注。
此外， 三場資料圖表中， 動態圖和靜態圖的比例是1:2， 靜態圖偏多， 因此平時練習時多以靜態圖為主。

Task 2
大作文就題型上來看， 跟2017年1月一樣，
利弊類型也是跟2017年一樣， 都就考了一次， 其他幾種題型都還沒有考到， 所以2月份的考試中同學們要重點關注一下論述類、報告類和混合類這幾種題型。 同時要通過練習來確定每種題型的寫作要求和文章結構。
話題方面， 會生活類(2場)和教育類(1場)依然是重點， 基本是每個月考試都會涉及到的話題， 所以2分月份考試的同學在準備話題方面以這兩個話題為主。
以下提供一些平時備考和練習的題目：
教育類
1. Some people think that the government should decide the subject for students to study in university. Others believe that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
2. Some people believe that children can learn effectively by watching TV and they should be encouraged to watch TV at home and school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
3. Many people argue that in order to improve educational quality, high school students should be encouraged to make comments or even criticism on their teachers. Others think it will lead to loss of respect and discipline in the classroom. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
4. Children’s education is expensive. In some countries, the government pays some or all of the costs. Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
媒介類（廣告）
這類話題近幾年尤其受雅思官方的青睞， 每年都會考4-5場。 平時要重點準備一些話題詞彙， 重點總結一下廣告給大眾生活帶來的好處和弊端。
1. Researchers show that overeating is as harmful as smoking. Therefore, advertising for food products should be banned, in the same way as the cigarette advertising is banned in many countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
2. Today advertising can be seen everywhere in daily life. It has influenced what people think and has negative effects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
3. Nowadays consumers are faced with the advertisements from competitive companies. To what extent do you agree that consumers are influenced by advertisements? What measures should be taken to protect them?
4. Advertising discourages us from being different individuals by making us all want to be and to look the same. Do you agree or disagree?
環境類
這類話題幾乎每年都會考到， 但是2017年一場都沒有考， 所以2018年環境類話題也要格外留心。
1. The natural resources such as oil, forests and fresh water are being consumed at an alarming rate. What problems does it cause? How can we solve these problems?
2. Nuclear energy is the best source of power in meeting ever-increasing energy needs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
3.The international community should act immediately to ensure that all countries reduce the consumption of fossil fuels (e.g. gas and oil). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
4. Some people think that private companies, rather than the government, should pay for cleaning up the environment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
5. Some people think that the amount of noise people make have to be controlled strictly. Others say that people are free to make as much noise as they wish.Discuss both views and give your opinion.
6. Nowadays both scientists and tourists can go to remote natural environments such as the South Pole. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
