環保類話題、考前一直要求同學們關注。 我的課上曾經和學生講解過Amazon Rainforest被砍伐的話題,這里考生可以借鑒。
我之前的話題預測中提到過了環保類,串講中要反復要求大家注意目前的幾大熱門話題:比如climate change; Endangered spices;請參考考前的話題和詞匯預測疑問:http://blog.hjenglish.com/peixiaodong/articles/1539876.html

健康類話題也是歷年常考,比如去年涉及了obesity 肥胖癥;今年考查了voice problem和smoking的關系。整個句子幾乎沒有太大難度,只要考前復習到了,熟悉話題就能迎刃而解。
