雅思剑八写作解析之一：题型和话题不变

　　期待很久的剑八终于面世啦！剑桥系列一直是考官和雅思考生的桥梁，一直也是雅思考试的风向标，更是雅思老师课堂上教学的非常重要教材而且不可取代的教材。站在一个写作老师的角度，我们来看看剑八到底传递的是一种什么信息？ 我们到底是应该惊喜多了一份高质量的备考材料还是忧虑雅思考试潜在的变化呢？

　　1. 不变

　　从剑8题透大家几乎看不到任何的大小作文题型和话题的变化。而且Task1和Task2考察的题型，体裁以及特点都几乎全部覆盖到了。

　　1.Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this.

　　Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

　　2.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?

　　3.Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems.

　　To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　What other measures do you think might be effective?

　　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?

　　我们不难发现第1.2题都是传统的辩论类写作出题方式，第4题是Report类出题（比剑七的第78页更典型的Report类题型）。这些题型高速我们雅思写作大作文整体方向是没有任何变化的，仍然坚持以辩论类观点来考场学生的辩证分析能力。
