小作文重點關注柱圖、地圖、表格。

以下爲地圖題範文解析：

The maps show the campus layout now and a plan for development.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

解題思路：

本次雅思考試的小作文部分考的是關於學校佈局變化的地圖題。在描寫地圖的時候，一定要注意表述方位的詞或詞組的使用。而且也要把這兩張地圖進行比較，描述出擬議的學校佈局和現在的學校佈局的區別和變化。並且要注意時態的正確使用。

參考範文：

The two maps show the current layout of a school and the plan for its changes. The Most noticeable change is projected to be the replacement of many areas of vegetation with teaching buildings and public facilities.

At present, a large area of land at the northwest side of the campus is covered with trees. A cluster of many other trees can also be seen at the southwest corner. A rectangular teaching building can be seen in the centre of the map while other buildings and facilities are mainly located at the east. To be specific, three buildings, of which one is for biology and another two are for genetics, lie on the southeast side of the schoolyard; the car park is on the other side of the east.

In the future, much of the vegetation is expected to be cut down to make room for new buildings, such as a genetics building and a chemistry building in the northwest; and a triangular vegetation field will be changed into a new staff car park. Meanwhile, the original rectangular building close to the staff car park will be converted to an L-shaped one. What is more, the existing car park would be exclusively used for students and the biology building is likely to be rebuilt into a larger one.

重點表達：

①the most noticeable change is … 最明顯的變化是……

②is projected to… 預計……

③at the northwest side of … 在……的西北邊

④at the southwest corner: 在西南角落

⑤be mainly located at…:  集中坐落在……

⑥on the other side:  在另一邊

⑦vegetation: n. 植被

⑧be converted to: v. 轉變成

以下爲重點話題及範文解析：

題目：Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, however, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

題型：雙邊討論

話題：科技類

解題思路：本題要求考生討論機器人的不同看法。寫作時要注意審題，支持一方重點討論對未來發展的積極影響，而反對一方主要關注對社會產生的負面影響。因此在寫作時需要在既定範圍內進行論述，話題發散太廣會影響論述重點，且在有限時間難以較好完成寫作任務。

參考範文：

Thanks to the fast-developing modern technologies, advanced tools and machines that used to exist only in science fictions are coming into our daily lives. Robot, as a typical high-tech product, receives starkly contrasting opinions from the public. While some people expect positive outcomes from robots in the future, others express their worries over the implication of these developments on the society.

For those who take an optimistic view on robots, life in the future will become easier and more comfortable with robots doing domestic tasks or working in assembly lines. Given proper instructions and maintenance, machines will keep on functioning without mistakes, thus greatly promoting the efficiency, making more profits to factories and leaving a great deal of free time for humans to relax and enjoy themselves. Moreover, robots can be designed for special purposes such as exploring the deep sea, operating nuclear facilities or rescuing victims in earthquakes, all of which are undoubtedly dangerous tasks for humans. If one day these jobs can be handed to robots, much more wrenching but necessary sacrifices can be avoided.

However, some people express more concerns than enthusiasm with autonomous machines, for they may bring more disadvantages on society. Unemployment rate will obviously rise when robots replace human workers. Normally such jobless people can hardly compete with either machines in labor intensive areas or skillful programmers backed by science and technology. Therefore the gap between the rich and the poor will be exacerbated, eventually resulting in social instability.

As I am concerned, although there might be challenges and threats lying ahead, we should not deny the merits and opportunities inherent in the new technologies. The robot in itself has no inclination to be good or bad, but rather it is how we use it that finally counts. Measures and policies can be applied to mitigate the potential threats and as long as we strive for a better world, an embrace to the new is a must.

重點表達：

①starkly: adv.   截然相反的

②take a… view on:    用（某種方式）看待

③assembly line:       （工廠生產用的）流水線
