- IELTS writing: a pie chart and a table Writing task: summarize the inormation by selecting and reporting the main features of the chart and the table, and make comparisons where relevant. The pie chart illustrates the main causes of worldwide land degradation while the table demonstrates how these factors affected Europe, North America and Oceania during the 1990s. According to the chart, over-grazing accounts for the largest proportion, with 35% of the land becoming less productive. Deforestation ranks at the second place, affecting 30% of worldwide agricultural land, and over-cultivation represents almost the same percentage. As is shown in the table, European agricultural land was the heavily affected in 1990s. Specifically, 9.8% was degraded by deforestation, with 7.7% by over-cultivation and 5.5% by over-grazing. By contrast, with much less land suffering from deforestation, 3.3% and 1.5% of Australian land became less productive due to over-cultivation and over-grazing respectively. In Oceania, over-grazing occupied 11.3%, which was much more than the other two regions. Overall, over-grazing is the principal reason for land degradation today. In addition, Europe suffered more from farmland degradation than the other two regions in 1990s.
August 3, 201300 - IELTS essay: taking a gap year before going to university It is not unusual these days for young people to take a gap year before going to university. Some people prefer to work or travel for a whole year while others prefer to attend school directly. This essay will compare and contrast one gap year’s advantages and disadvantages. It is probably true that to some extent young people profit more from taking one year off than others. First and foremost, working or traveling enriches their social experience greatly. Specifically, they could expand their vision when exposed to different culture or job experiences. Furthermore, students could improve their practical job skills and accumulate considerable work experience. This hones their comprehensive ability and makes them more capable before going to university. However, there are also arguments in favor of the opposite view. One is that it would be difficult for students to readapt to their academic study in university after one year’s traveling or work. Especially for unmotivated students because they may find the courses monotonous and thus lose interest in their study. Another argument is that it would cost a great deal for unpaid young people if they choose to travel for a long time. This could lower their life quality and impose a heavy financial burden on their own family. In conclusion, despite the possible disadvantages, I firmly support the idea to take a gap year, especially when taking the benefits of enlarged vision and developed skills into consideration.July 26, 201320
我会(要)去张家界!
这个周日我想去张家界旅游。而且有一个住在岳阳的朋友我也想去看得。而且我还想去看一个住在岳阳的朋友。或者:而且我有一个住在岳阳的朋友,我想去看他。我本来打算买一张软卧火车票,可是真不凑巧,去订票处的时候票都已经售完了。我今天要再去问问有没有硬卧票或者硬座票。
我想先待在我朋友那儿三天/我想先在我朋友那儿待三天,就是从周一到周三(从……到,固定搭配from...to...)。以后之后/然后我想坐到张家界的火车或者汽车(“车”是个总体概念,火车、汽车都可以叫“车”)。那边/在那儿我会见到(“见到”)/要去见两个从美国来的朋友。我们打算起码两天待在张家界待两天,爬山,走一走,看看景点等。
我们在查几家旅游宿舍和旅馆的信息(查信息)。因为我们都不熟悉张家界,所以还不知道最好住的地方是哪儿。 (最好住在哪儿)
我还是喜欢自助游,所以到现在还没有打算过参加旅游团。 (或者:所以到现在还没有想过要去参加旅游团)
你去过张家界吗?你有建议吗?0 votedMay 31, 20131- Een paar vraagjes 1. A:....Maar als ik kans krijg hier te werken, blijf ik misschien langer of voor altijd. Geen gemakkelijke beslissing. B: Nee, dat lijkt mij ook een hele stap. Wat betekent 'een hele stap' hier? 2.Kijk eens naar deze zin: We moeten immers eten, dus iemand moet het eten klaarmaken. Als ik een passieve zin wil zeggen, wordt het dan: A. We moeten immers eten, dus het eten moet klaar worden gemaakt. B. We moeten immers eten, dus het eten moet worden klaargemaakt. C. We moeten immers eten, dus het eten moet klaargemaakt worden. Welke zin is juist? 3.Ik kwam deze zin tegen in mijn testboek. 'Je wordt in zekere zin gedwongen een nieuw bestaan op te bouwen. Toch blijf je hier altijd een buitenlander, is mij verteld.' Ik begrijp 'is mij verteld' in de zin niet. Ik raad dat er iets wordt weggelaten? 4. Hoe gebruik je 'zo hoorde dat' en 'ergens een sport van maken'? Kun je alsjeblieft een voorbeeld geven met deze uitdrukkingen? 5. 'De laaste dertig jaar is er rond het huwelijk veel veranderd.' 'rond' in deze zin betekent 'over'(about)? Betekent het dat 'Er is veel veranderd over het trouwerij/huwelijk'? Dat is alles. Bedankt alvast!!February 6, 201331
