    2014年3月1日A类雅思小作文

    地图题，学校现在和2015年的规划布局对比。

    解题思路：注意时态（2015用将来时态，present用一般现在时态）。注意用上课讲的方位表达词。具体来说：幅校园校门在北边，校园前有一个小花园，校园右边有停车场，旁边是reception，两边中间分别是教室和图书馆 大门对面是厕所，厕所左手边是2间教室，教室左手边是餐厅。 第二幅图，要特别提到变化，花园removed/torn down，停车位少了。校园校门南开， 面对大路 ，靠近车站。reception也移到大门对面，校园右边是食堂教室图书馆，右边是一排全是教室， 最北角开了个shop,旁边是厕所。

    2014年3月1日A类雅思大作文解析

    TASK2 ：Some people think living in big cities is bad for people's health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

    思路分析：有同学想写“雾霾”，准确表达是haze，写成smog也是对的，smog是污染形成的烟雾，fog是不准确的，因为fog是水雾，是无害的。industrialized cities里面，人们过量使用private cars—排放CO2的元凶和各种废气，对人们的respiratory system造成危害；同样工业区排放的pollutants会污染饮用水；快节奏生活，压力巨大对身心均造成伤害等。当然，生活在大城市，医疗条件比较好，又有很好的运动设施和公民比较强的保健意识等，可能会人的健康有好处。

    2014年2月22日题型预测如下：

    小作文：重点关注bar, pie, table。3月考了一次地图题，再次出现地图题可能性较小，流程图稍微看一下。
