年末到来，雅思已进入了彻底的冬季，往往在这段时间无论是听说读写，都不会出现多大的意外，特别是写作，经历了11月初的那次7年不考的地图题后，雅思小作文应该是进入了传统的四大题型测试期了，大家一定要在考前至少写到8篇以上的Task 1，还有仔细看我的课堂笔记Version 4.0，在不远的将来会推出5.0。

大作文的主要重点是1和3号球，生涯规划和抽象题。3号球要更重视一点，由于此球比较抽象，因此大家把我笔记上蓝色和红色标注的5道题都应练一练，下面还有一些本月重点准备的题目：（蓝色的为1号球，红色的为3号球）。小新在这里祝大家考试成功！

1） Is children’s education chiefly the responsibility of parents or teachers?

2）Some people think that schools should select their pupils according to their academic ability. Others believe that young people with different abilities should be educated together. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

3）Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe that it is the only way to help traditions to remain in the world. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

4）Some people think that news media have become much more influential in people's lives today and that this is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

5）Children who are brought up in families which do not have a great amount of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. Do you agree or disagree？
