应大家的要求，把前不久雅思课堂的内容传播一下，不过非常遗憾的是由于上面一个班级的基础比较差，所以我就用了非常基础的词汇，就是所谓的W2词汇，朗文2000基础写作单词。
还有一个问题是，我没有对课堂内容进行任何修改，所以错误看来不少，请大家指正。
2007年10月20日 学习外语的时间
四段作文，公正看问题，复杂地分析
段1：复杂，没有结论，而是多面分析这个问题。
The key (core, essential) question in this topic is at what time a child should start to learn a foreign language. Thinking carefully, I find this question is not as simple as many people have thought because it is closely associated with such factors as teachers, teaching environment, and the like. Hence, it is illogical to give an absolute answer.
段2：小学开始：
The first thing I am talking about in this essay is about learning a foreign language in primary schools. However, asking children to learn a foreign language during this period of time demands many things. On the one hand, children must be interested in this language. Otherwise, it would be harmful to force them to study. My own case in childhood is an example. At primary school, teachers and parents forced me to learn English, which I hated. As a result, today English is a disaster to me. On the other hand, the primary school must be able to provide enough teachers who have lived or learned in a foreign country for at least half a year. If so, it might be favorable for primary school students.

l 好处？学生—学业, 就业，成长
l 具体例子？
段3： 初高中开始
l 为什么？学生，学校
l 利弊分析—
l 真实的我
Secondly, I would like to study the case of learning a foreign language in secondary school. Like what has been talked in the paragraph above, students’ interest in learning a language must be further emphasized. However, the real picture is that many students are neither motivated nor encouraged to study but are seriously stressed by various foreign language tests, which are boring and dull. For instance, the endless English tests in my high school were horrible nightmares. In this case students are not learning the language but learning the test tricks. Ironically, some language training centers or organizations hook students by claiming their “outstanding” test tricks in such tests as Ielts, GRE, or TOEFL. Admittedly, if possible, it would be a great advantage for teenagers to learn a foreign language in secondary school. This is because the best time to learn a foreign language is, according to experts, between 11 and 16 years old. That is in the secondary school.
To sum up, some should start to learn in the primary school while others should do in the secondary school.

The key problem is why both the biodiversity and the population in the biota are negatively influenced. Another question the essay attempts to answer is how to effectively address this problem.
One of the most alarming reasons is that the increase in human population within the past several centuries exercises adverse impacts on both flora and fauna. Put it in detail, the growth of human population accelerates the development of various industries, including manufacturing, communication, transportation, and building. All these cut the area of habitats栖息地 of the animals and plants. They also pollute the environment.
Farming and fishing also contribute to导致 the disaster. In developing countries such problems are rather formidable. China is a convincing有说服力的 example, where the majority of the population is working as farmers or fishers. Farming undoubtedly forces the wildlife to live elsewhere. Noticeably, the application （use） of pesticides 农药and chemical fertilizers 化肥in the farming land for the purpose of 为了。。。的目的high outputs 产量 further weakens减弱 the fragile脆弱的 balance in an ecosystem.
Other human activities such as wars and trading further undermine 毁坏，破坏the biota equilibrium平衡.

To tackle处理 these problems, on the one hand it is necessary to use legal means法律手段 to censor 审核some human activities that might harm the environment. On the other hand, it is vital 重要的for people to be educated or enlightened启蒙 so that they understand the importance of protecting animals and plants.

256 单词 13个句子
Urbanization ironically results in a number of problems ranging from housing crisis, traffic jam, and heavy populated slums to more intangible conflicts such as those between the haves and the have-nots, the white and the colored people, and pious religious people and the profane. 1
To oil the city life, a diverse array of approaches have been put forward, the most striking among which is that governments should encourage the city dwellers to move to small towns or cities. The motivations of those who advanced this suggestion are nothing wrong. But this proposal per se is not plausible. For one thing, it is impossible to know who should move. That is to say we do not have a reliable criterion against which governments may decide who should migrate and who should stay. For another, it is difficult to calculate how many should move. 6
Theoretically, the migration of a host of city dwellers seems to be able to release the heavy pressures. Nevertheless, it is totally ridiculous to carry out such a suggestion. The most conspicuous trouble involved in the suggested migration is many employees would find it hard to live in small cities while they have to work in the big cities. Imagine the distance between where they live and where they work! This naturally increases the traffic pressure and the consumption of fossil fuels. 5
To sum up, the solution to city problems is not in the suggested migration from metropolis to small cities. Governments should not encourage people to move. Instead, they should study other approaches. 2

The alarming gaps between urban and rural areas in such arena as education facilities, the readiness to access to medical care, and living convenience spark a suggestion that the tyros in education business and medical care should work in countryside for a period of time. This suggestion is rather problematic.
The most harmful thing in this suggestion is not the suggestion per se. Rather it is the motivations. The purpose of this proposal is clearly not to help those rural people. On the contrary, it is to provide the tyros with an opportunity to practice. This is clearly unfair because those who live in the rural areas are fundamentally equal to urban dwellers. Why do not give them the mature teachers and good doctors?
In fact, the suggestion suffers logical drawbacks in reasoning. It is claimed to improve the conditions of rural areas. Its approach is to send the beginners or novices to work there. Clearly, it is assumed that the tyros are able to help. Nevertheless, this assumption is feeble and fragile. Compared with the experienced doctors and experts in teaching, novices are less competent. For instance, in the primary and secondary schools in the main land of China, beginners in teaching careers hinder the development of students and cause serious troubles in various aspects. Many students become victims. In case of hospital service or medical care, things would be more formidable.
Clearly, it is harmful to ask beginners in teaching career and medical care to work in the rural areas where people virtually demand experts and professors.
Topic: only when people make a large sum of money can they be said successful. Do you agree or disagree?
It is vital to define success although currently criteria are colorful. A sound definition of the term helps people to live and learn better. Moreover, it plays an important role in the construction of good social mores.
It is wrong to say that people are not successful if they have failed to make a huge sum of money. The reason is that whether one is successful is not only measured with material yardstick but also against the spiritual criterion. Spiritual achievements and contributions bear little relationship with money. Put it in other word, many of those who have not earned sufficient money are considered successful for their accomplishments. For instance, my mother has never been able to make enough money but she is successful in that she has told us why we live.
To emphasize the spiritual elements in the understanding of what success is is not to deny the importance of the ability to make money. On the contrary, the capability to make a massive sum of money in many cases is a kind of success. In terms of the individual development, any human being in a modern society where money is the main economic dimension must be able to live independently by means of earning and spending. In terms of the society development, a country must be rich enough to protect basic human rights, provide foods, and offer education to its members. Otherwise it is not successful.
In conclusion, money is not the only standard of success, but it is necessary to be able to make money.
