2016年2月13日雅思写作真题及解析（新东方）

　　TASK 1

　　题目：柱状图(具体信息缺失)

　　A类小作文分析：今天的图表作文是动态图中的柱状图，两组对比对象(男女性/不同年龄段)。因此在写作的过程中不仅要注意趋势的描写，还要注意不同年龄段以及男女性之间的对比。同时也要注意不同年龄组的替换表达方式。具体写法可以结合剑5的test2 以及剑6的test 4 关于柱状图的写作。

　　分析：2月13日的考题属于教育类，最近教育类话题一直是重点，希望同学们也要重点关注。就此题而言，正反方观点的确认难度稍微增加了些，但是只要考生仔细审题，把握基本原则，一般情况下是不会跑题的。我们把“instead of sending them to school”这个部分暂时去掉，会发现题目的双方分别是：1. It is good forparentsto educate their children at home; 2. It is badfor parents to educate their children at home.

　　参考范文：

　　Domestic learning seems to be an increasingpopularity these days, and a number of educationalists have different opinions overwhether it is of benefits or drawbacks for parents to choose home learning.Personally, based on distinct circumstances, this trend proves to be adouble-edged knife.

　　On the one hand, there are many advantages oflearning at home and high learning efficiency is one of them. Parents are moreactive to manage to satisfy an individualistic learning pattern of theirchildren, for example, by observing the academic performance, learning habitsand attitudes towards different subjects. However, this cannot be achieved inlarge-scaled class teaching. To be more specific, common students at schoolhave limited choices to learn what they are enthusiastic about in comparison tothose who are allowed to have home study, they are given the advantage todevelop various potentials in study such as talent in arts or in science. Lesspressure is considered to be another ameliorative point in this respect. Forthose who are vulnerable inside, learning subjects at home are thought to be agood way to avoid peer pressure. While at educational institutions, learningmotivation is likely to be inhibited by self-consciousness, thus hinderingknowledge acquisition.

　　On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages that cannot be ignored. Firstly, apart fromtheoretical knowledge, other developments including those regarding socialskills and physical growth are the big worries. Since adolescents are exposedto a comparatively closed learning environment, it is of little chance for teamwork and PE programs. There is also teaching quality to be considered as well,parents who have not been trained professionally usually could not providesystematic teaching outlook and learning difficulties cannot be addressedstrategically in most cases, this may lead to a demotivation of young learners.

　　To conclude, every coin has two sides, and thisis the same case with domestic learning. What adults need to remember is tofind appropriate solutions to combat the problems identified above. (329 words)
