母題：Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss the two views and give your opinion. (060916)

提示：這類題目采取的策略就是“雙批判”，因?yàn)轭}目中提供的兩種選擇往往都是錯(cuò)誤的。

母題：Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (100731)

提示：這些話題都有一個(gè)共同的特征：高等教育只對學(xué)生自己有好處，因此學(xué)生應(yīng)當(dāng)自行為高等教育買單。這類題目的寫法非常有規(guī)律，先駁斥這種理由，再交代學(xué)生自己支付學(xué)費(fèi)的后果就可以了。

子題：政府要為學(xué)生買單嗎?(缺點(diǎn)是給政府帶來經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)，這類話題寫法和其它政府類話題一樣)

5. 孩子們要不要參加社會實(shí)踐?

提示：不管題目怎么出，永遠(yuǎn)記得國際合作、企業(yè)、政府、個(gè)人，都可以為環(huán)境保護(hù)做出自己的努力。所以，你要準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容，就是以上四個(gè)方面可以做的事情。

子題：個(gè)人能不能保護(hù)環(huán)境?個(gè)人不能保護(hù)環(huán)境，只有政府大公司才能，同意嗎?公司和個(gè)人，而不是政府，可以保護(hù)環(huán)境，同意嗎?很多人知道環(huán)境保護(hù)很重要，但是自己卻不采取任何行動(dòng)，這是為什么?

子題：淡水資源如何保護(hù)?是什么原因?qū)е铝耸?、森林和淡水資源的緊張，如何解決?解決環(huán)境問題的最佳方法是提高石油的價(jià)格嗎?(此題已被劍8收錄)

5. 交通工具

母題：One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (060325, 080405)

提示：這道題目是經(jīng)典老題，多次在雅思考試中出現(xiàn)。題目中的理由有明顯的邏輯漏洞，因?yàn)轱w機(jī)承載的乘客數(shù)量和行駛的距離要遠(yuǎn)大于汽車，因此先駁斥理由，再講飛機(jī)被禁止的后果(旅游業(yè)，物流業(yè)將會遭到重創(chuàng))就可以了。

子題：汽車會帶來哪些問題?廉價(jià)航空是否應(yīng)當(dāng)被推廣?

提示：工廠化農(nóng)業(yè)factory farming提高了農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)量，但也禍害無窮。比如大規(guī)模噴灑化學(xué)肥料chemical fertiliser和農(nóng)藥pesticide，集中式養(yǎng)殖battery farming會侵害動(dòng)物權(quán)利，也使得肉類安全受到威脅。轉(zhuǎn)基因食品genetically modified food雖然改善了食物的品質(zhì)和產(chǎn)量，但是破壞生態(tài)平衡，對人體健康構(gòu)成潛在的威脅。

子題：長距離運(yùn)輸(空運(yùn))食品的好壞，科技改變食品的好壞。

注意：本題是一個(gè)邊緣話題，不能完全歸類到環(huán)保類下。比如長距離運(yùn)輸食品與全球化類話題可以結(jié)合，科技改善食品可以與科技類話題結(jié)合。
