上星期在昆明分校讲课，昆明同学们的学习态度和英语水平都给我深刻印象，北京的孩子们真的要有危机感了哦。

没带自己最爱的SX 100 IS，就在路边小店租的相机，exposure明显过度而且可以看到有边际杂音，不过还是可以感受这个城市的安静,静得像2080号门口下午一点开过二手Camryhttp://photo.sina.com.cn/photo/4cad3f3244614133d862b
下面是我对六月的写作预测，今年的新题确实是多，但是既然答应给学生作预测就愿赌服输。如果押不中那没有别的原因，只怪我预测水平不够好。
1 Some people think tourists should follow the behavior and customs of the local people. To what extent do you agree?
2 Some people think children brought up in poor families have better abilities than children raised in rich families when they become adults. To what extent do you agree?
3 Some people think the appearance of a building is more important than its function. To what extent do you agree?
4 The violence in the media should be censored. To what extent do you agree?
5 There are many measures in big cities to reduce crimes. To what extent do you think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?
6 Many languages are dying out today due to the widespread use of English. To what extent do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
7 The money spent on preserving wild animals should be spent on solving human problems instead. To what extent do you agree?
8 Students should be encouraged to study alone rather than to study together in groups. To what extent do you agree?
9 Some people think the government should stop funding space research because it brings few benefits. To what extent do you agree?
10 Environmental problems are too big for individual countries or persons to solve. They should be solved international efforts. To what extent do you agree?

五、同外教练口语
当我们通过写英语日记积累了很多的口语套话和素材，并且也能够用英语组织语言之后，就要趁热打铁找外教疯狂练习。其实练口语的机会多种多样。比如大街上给外国人指路、在一些展会上与外国人交流等等。其实在中国的土地上，外国人比我们孤独的多，所以只要我们愿意热情地与他们交流，他们一定更加愿意和我们聊天。而且每次聊天都必须在1小时以上，才能真正克服曾经的紧张情绪。
在雅思阅读中，实验类文章结构最为固定。笔者分析了“剑四”和“剑五”中所有实验类文章，发现其结构无一不遵循以上套路，这是因为实验报告的形式本来就单调。首段总是说明实验的缘起以及实验没目的，然后介绍实验前的准备工作包括器具，实验主体等，接着进入实验进程的描述，而后公布实验结果，最后综合数据得出结论。无论实验做什么，这个基本顺序是不会改变的。
(2)逻辑论证类结构
-Introduce the topic/problem
-Literature Review (Optional)
-Present Causes/Reasons (optional)
-Writer’s Approach
-Supporting Evidences
-Conclusions
这类文章从结构上讲更接近于论文。起始段导出议题，第二部分对议题进行文献综述，介绍已有的观点或探讨引发问题的原因，第三部分引入作者的判断以及相关分论点或论据，最后是结论。在雅思考试是中这类文章通常是比较难的。
3. 实战中的运用
下面结合题目具体说明结构阅读法的运用。
例一(“剑五”P16，Johnson’s Dictionary)
一看标题就知道是说明文，主题是介绍约翰逊博士的词典。然后阅读具体断落来套结构，注意一般只要看首尾句就可以了。第一段第一句”There had been concerns about the state of the English language.”交代背景，说明英语语言的问题，引出编词典的主题。第二段首句“there had, of course, been dictionaries in the past”介绍过去的字典，可知这篇文章的结构是按照时间顺序进行的。抓住这点，余下几段就容易分析了。依次往后，分别讲了编词典的必要性、编词典前的准备、编词典中的艰难、介绍工作成果、出版后的好评，约翰逊的感慨以及最后功成名就。抓住这个顺序，即使后面的T/F/NG题次序打乱，每道题也依然能够准确快速地定位了。限于篇幅，此处稍举几例。第9题“Johnson has become more well- known since his dea |
