What will education include?

Subject: It is generally believed that education is essential for personal development and social well-being. To realize these two functions, what should education include? (0503 12)

Tip: This topic focuses on two major functions of education (individual and society). If you prepare this article, you can deal with the biggest branch of the education topic-the function of education, so that you can change with the same. From a social point of view, it can promote economic development, increase social mobility and maintain social stability. For individuals, you can change your thinking mode, which is conducive to employment and convenient life.

Subtitle: Should universities teach theoretical knowledge or practical skills? Should universities train students to become qualified citizens or benefit themselves? Is it the best way to prepare for your future career to go to college or leave school as soon as possible to accumulate work experience? Should universities expand their enrollment? Should middle schools provide general education or junior college education? Do you want to extend the period of compulsory education? Do you want to make it more convenient for rural students to go to school? Should teachers teach students how to judge right and wrong?

2. Who will choose the subjects of the school?

Subject: Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study in universities, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for their favorite subjects. Discuss these two views and give your opinion. (0609 16)

Tip: This kind of topic adopts the strategy of "double criticism" because the two choices provided in the topic are often wrong.

Sub-topic 1: Does the government choose courses or teachers choose courses? Do students choose all subjects or according to their interests?

Subtitle 2: Do you want to learn international news? Do you want to study history? Do you want to learn a foreign language in middle school? Do you want to study such a subject as philosophy of mathematics?

3. What kind of teaching method is the best?

Subject: Many people use distance learning projects (learning materials posting, TV, Internet, etc.). ) studying at home, but some people think it can't bring benefits like going to college. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? (04 1 1 13, 08 1023, 1005 15)

Tip: The biggest advantage of distance education lies in three things: anyone, anywhere and anytime. The disadvantage is the lack of teacher-student interaction and moral guidance, because without physical education class, sitting in front of the computer for a long time will lead to health problems.

Subtitle: Are private schools good? How about studying abroad? Do you want to divide the fast class and the slow class? Is it better to study in groups or alone?

4. Who will pay the tuition?

Some people think that college students should pay all the expenses of students, because college education will only benefit students themselves, but not the whole society. To what extent do you agree or disagree? ( 10073 1)

Tip: All these topics have a common feature: higher education is only beneficial to students themselves, so students should pay for higher education themselves. The writing of such topics is very regular. Just refute this reason first, and then explain the consequences of students paying their own tuition.

Sub-question: Should the government pay for students? The disadvantage is that it brings economic burden to the government. This kind of topic is written in the same way as other government topics.

5. Do children want to participate in social practice?

Theme: Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to college. What are the advantages and disadvantages? (030308, 0505 14, 090926)

6. Family education

Theme: Some people say that children should be the rules of parents and teachers, while others think that if children are given too much control, they will not be prepared for their adult life. Discuss and give your opinion. (04 1 120, 100520)

Tip: Just write down their respective benefits. The final conclusion is that they should be taught to distinguish right from wrong at an early age, and they should be punished for doing wrong, but enough is enough and let their hobbies develop freely.

Sub-question: Do children from poor families take charge early? Should parents be responsible for crimes committed by five-year-old children? Do you want to send your children to school as soon as possible? Do teachers play a greater role than parents in children's intellectual and social development? What are the advantages and disadvantages of peer pressure?

Second, the ecological category

Do animals need protection?

Theme: Now many people think that we spend too much money and time on protecting wild animals. This money should be better used for population. Do you agree or disagree? (03 12 13, 1 10709)

Hint: This kind of question is written as a rebuttal. First, refutation is a waste of money, because the money spent on animals can be compensated by developing tourism. Then write the meaning of animal protection.

Sub-question: Do you want to conduct animal experiments? Should animals be kept in zoos? Do you want to eat animal meat? What measures can people take to protect rare animal and plant species?

2. Who is responsible for environmental protection?

Theme: The environmental problem is too big for a single country or individual to solve. In other words, we have reached a stage where the only way to protect the environment is at the international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? (040228, 0405 15, 1 10507)

Tip: No matter how the topic comes out, always remember that international cooperation, enterprises, governments and individuals can make their own efforts for environmental protection. So, what you have to prepare is what you can do in the above four aspects.

Sub-question: Can individuals protect the environment? Individuals can't protect the environment, only big government companies can, agree? Companies and individuals, not the government, can protect the environment. Do you agree? Many people know that environmental protection is very important, but they don't take any action. Why?

3. What about the garbage problem?

Theme: Many people say that we have developed into a "throw away" culture, because we are filling our environment with too many plastic bags and garbage, so that we can't completely deal with them. To what extent do you agree with this view? What measures can you recommend to reduce this problem? (050806)

Tip: This topic should focus on the causes, consequences and solutions of "disposable culture". Reason: Pursuing convenience and hygiene. Consequences: destruction of water sources, pollution of land and air. Solution: Three R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Subtitle: The increase of consumer goods will lead to the destruction of the natural environment. What are the reasons and solutions?

5. Transportation facilities

Subject: A long flight consumes the fuel used by cars in severe years, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should stop unnecessary flights, such as traveling, instead of restricting the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (060325, 080405)

Tip: This topic is a classic old topic, which has appeared many times in the IELTS test. There are obvious logical loopholes in the reason in the title, because the number of passengers carried by the plane and the distance traveled are much greater than those of the car, so it is enough to refute the reason first and then talk about the consequences of the no-fly (tourism and logistics will be hit hard).

Sub-question: What problems will cars bring? Should low-cost airlines be promoted?

6. Food safety

Theme: Some people support the development of agriculture, such as factory farming and the creation of new fruits and vegetables, while others oppose this view. Discuss two views and give your opinion. (0807 12)

It is suggested that factory farming increases the output of agricultural products, but it is also harmful. For example, large-scale spraying of chemical fertilizers, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and centralized cultivation of battery culture will infringe on animal rights and threaten meat safety. Genetically modified food improves the quality and yield of food, but it destroys the ecological balance and poses a potential threat to human health.

Subtitle: Long-distance transportation of food (air transportation) is good or bad, and technology changes the quality of food.

Tip: This topic is a classic scientific and technological topic, because this topic of "faceless trading" condenses many topics such as online shopping, TV shopping, online banking, ATM self-service banking, mobile banking, telephone conference, video conference and so on. It is one of the topics that everyone must write.

Topic 2: Many employees can use modern technology to work from home. Some people claim that it can only benefit workers, but not employees. Do you agree or disagree? (0507 16, 09 12 12)

Tip: "telecommuting" is also a key topic, which is of course beneficial to both employees and employers.

2. Modern media (TV, computer, mobile phone)

Some people think that time spent on TV, video and computer games is valuable to children. Others think it has a negative effect on children. Discuss two views and give your own. (080 1 10)

However, considering that I just passed the exam on 20 12, 12 and 12, the probability of taking the exam again in recent months will not be great.

Subtitle: Does the library provide high-tech media such as computer software and DVD? Will the Internet replace museums and art galleries? Mobile phones and computers are gradually replacing letters. Do you agree? What are the advantages and disadvantages of machines (robots) replacing human work? Will online education replace traditional classroom?

Topic: Is air travel only good for the rich? Does modern technology make people lose their creativity? Has the development of science and technology brought negative effects? Has the development of science and technology widened the gap between the rich and the poor? Is the early technology more influential than the present technology? Has technology changed the relationship between people? Science and technology pollute the environment/make our life more complicated. Should we bid farewell to technology and live a simple life?

Theme: Nowadays, the influence of news media is increasing. Some people think this is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (090822)

2. Media censorship

Theme: Nowadays, movies and computer games containing violence are very popular. Some people think that those movies and games have a negative impact on society and should be banned, while others think that they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss two views and give your opinion. ( 1 1 1029)

Tip: This topic only summarizes the pros and cons of media censorship. The advantage is to avoid the imitation of teenagers and reduce social violence. The disadvantage is that it destroys the entertainment of the film, and the censorship of the news violates people's right to know and the freedom of speech of the media.

Subtitle: The government should control violence in movies and TV to reduce crime in society. Do you agree? Should the media strictly control the details of the crime? What is the impact of TV programs showing disastrous pictures to the public on individuals and society?

advertise

Subject: We are surrounded by all kinds of advertisements, which greatly affect our lives. Does the positive effect of advertising outweigh the negative effect? (04 10 16, 1 10625)

Tip: This topic is the most classic among advertising topics, because it has the widest scope. Writing this topic bilaterally has the advantages of providing information to consumers, promoting economic development and promoting employment, while the disadvantages are deceiving and misleading consumers, misleading children to imitate and disturbing life.

Sub-question: Will advertisements stifle individuality and make people look the same? What are the advantages and disadvantages of advertising for children?

Tip: The topics of government investment are almost all cross-topics, which are combined with education (who should pay tuition), art, science and technology, health and other topics. The writing of this kind of topic is similar. The advantage is that they are all written around their respective intersections, such as promoting the development of education, art, science and technology, and promoting the health of citizens. The disadvantages are the same: wasting the limited financial resources of the government or causing a heavy economic burden to the government.

Should men and women be equal?

Topic: Nowadays, some workplaces tend to employ the same number of male and female employees. Do you think this is a positive or negative development? ( 1 10 1 15)

Tip: This idea seems reasonable, but men and women have their own characteristics and strengths. It is unfair to blindly pursue equality in quantity.
