综合写作考的是控制false bambo spread的三种方式，阅读说一是physically pull out，听力说要carefully and thoroughly，有任何的fragment 和residual，就能regrow。二是用化学herbicide，阅读说了原理，听力说一次杀不死，要三到四次，每平方米要用一磅，花很多钱，local government无法负担大面积使用。三是引进一种natural predator，阅读说了原理，以及不会导致其他问题，听力说这种昆虫来自亚洲，无法适应严酷环境，UK冬天的环境会让它数量降低。@176期 Z.

教授：
One traditional method of classroom instruction is lecturing. Lecturing involves the teacher talking about a topic for an extended period of time and expecting students to learn by listening attentively. Today, some educators believe that teachers should limit how much time they spend lecturing and instead teach by encouraging in-class discussions and having students work in groups. However, some teachers still teach primarily by lecturing.Do you believe lecturing is an effective teaching method? Why or why not?
Paul:
In my opinion, lecturing is mainly ineffective because a teacher who only gives lectures can't know what's going on in students' minds. When a teacher lectures and students are just required to sit there, the teacher can't really check if students understand the lecture. Students have to contribute somehow to show whether or not they are learning.
ClaireI：
I think lecturing can be effective. Some teachers can explain even complex concepts by telling interesting stories and by providing memorable examples. When teachers lecture in an entertaining way, students enjoy attending class and feel motivated to learn. Whether a teacher's lectures are effective depends on the teacher.
一.这道题重复了24年2月3日的上午场原题。二. 审题注意点：
1.问题“Do you believe lecturing is an effective teaching method? Why or why not?”--虽然题目背景中包含了in-class discussions, 但实际上题目主要关注的还是lecturing. 所以不用对比。 围绕lecturing 是否高效effective 讨论即可。不过，可以从题目In-class discussions描述中获得一些思路。
2. "Lecturing involves the teacher talking about a topic for an extended period of time and expecting students to learn by listening attentively. "题目对lecturing 进行了定义，即老师就某一主题长时间进行讲解，并期望学生通过专心聆听来获取知识。
3. 可行的思路：--以老师为主导，上课的效率高，能让老师讲授impart尽量多的知识--学生的注意力时间有限，老师长时间授课导致学生的学校效率降低。--缺乏学生参与和讨论，学生被动学习。就会导致学生上课能听懂老师将的数学方程式/文学分析方法，但是发现做题的时候又不会了…参考范文:
Echoing Paul’s perspective, I believe that lecturing alone is an ineffective teaching method because it fosters passive learning and quickly exhausts students’ attention spans.A typical lecture maylast forty-five minutes—or even exceed an hour in college—and research shows that most learners can concentrate for only fifteen to twenty minutes at a time. During extended monologues, students often mentally drift, mechanicallycopy down notes, or tune out when confronted with abstract concepts like advanced mathematical proofs or complex literary themes....

Doctor Achebe:As of this semester, I have embarked on a study to explore the various factors influencing children's cognition. It's becoming increasingly evident that a child's surroundings can significantly impact their development. In light of this, the question arises:should parents allow their children to watch online videos, whether for entertainment or educational purposes? Please share your insights on this matter, considering the potential effect s on a child's cognitive growth.
Paul:
We should not allow young children, especially those under two years old, to watch videos. It's crucial for their development to engage in real-life communication with others during this critical period. Watching videos doesn't provide the opportunity for meaningful interaction. Even for older children, it's essential to prioritize physical activity over extended screen time. Instead of sitting still in front of screens, they should be encouraged to stay active to support their overall well-being.
Kelly:
I agree that very young children shouldn't be exposed to videos. However, I believe that older children can benefit from watching certain videos, especially those that showcase animals or provide unique insights not easily encountered in everyday life. These videos can be educational and expand their horizons by offering a window into experiences they might not otherwise have access to.
审题注意点:
这道题重复了23年9月17日的原题。
1.小孩子：常见的切入点. 小孩子没有自制力，容易沉溺看视频。可能一开始看的是教育类的视频，比如国家地理频道的火山喷发，或者恐龙的灭绝。但是，后面容易去看明星的化妆视频，网红的游戏视频。影响他们的休息和学习。
2. 教育类视频：有利于他们消化理解课本上的知识。比如，关于火山喷发，声波的传输， 莎士比亚的李尔王戏剧等，对于很多居住在大陆，或者农村地区的小孩子来说是很难理解的, 因为他们的家庭or学校条件有限，只能让他们通过书本理解，是很困难的。但是网络上很多有关于这些知识很多小视频，比如国家地理频道关于马来西亚火山的视频，一些教授们的youtube 频道里做实验小视频，能让学生们很形象地理解了。
3. 娱乐视频：
--好处：让他们放松。学生们的学习压力比较大，要面对各种考试和测验。尤其是要面对升学考试的高中生。如果他们能看一些娱乐视频，比如搞笑小视频，他们的就很容易忘掉这些压力，不那么紧张，得到放松。...
--好处2：让孩子们开阔视野。学校教授的知识是有限的，但是孩子们的潜力是无限的。所以，可以让孩子们多接触网络上的视频。这些视频里包含了非常多丰富的信息，包括日常生活的小常识，娱乐游戏，还有人迹罕至的野外风景，最近的科技前沿等等。 所以孩子们看了就很容易找到自己感兴趣的方面，刺激他们去学习。比如一个对数学不感兴趣的孩子，可能会对最近强大的AI很感兴趣，然后开始学习运用来编程。.... +【让步】孩子们可能会沉溺..， 但是如果父母有效干预，限制每天孩子们可以看视频的时间，这就不是一个问题。
👩🏻🏫：这些都是好写的观点。但是大家注意，观点简单清晰。不用刻意让步。
参考范文:
I agree with Kelly that students should be allowed to watch online videos. This is because those videos can help expand students' outlook, exploring their potential.The knowledge imparted by teachers, though invaluable, are limited, while students' potential areboundless. Therefore, students should be encouraged toto consume a diverse range of information sources, including online videos. As millions of people and organizations post videos online, students are exposed to a vast amount of knowledge, ranging form life hacks,and glimpses into celebrities' lives to rarely visited remote destinations and cutting-edge technologies. Immersed in this wealth of information, students are more likely to identify subjects that intrigue them, stoking their motivation to learn and master new topics..For example,a student who show no interest in Mathematics may discover a passion for Artificial Intelligence though a digital blogger's video. In conclusion, it is imperative that students be granted permission to watch online videos, thereby facilitating the discovery and realization of their untapped potential.

Doctor Achebe:Today, we will examine what economists call incentives-the motivations that lead people to make certain choices. Cost is a major category of economic incentives. People tend to change their behavior when a particular choice gets more expensive. Let's discuss an example.Some economists argue that a good way to reduce air pollution is for governments to raise the cost(through taxes or other means) of fuel for cars. Do you agree or disagree with this viewpoint? Why?
审题注意点:这道题上可以看到很多题目的影子。 以前老托福考过：是否应该提高能源价格来减少节省能源。 这道题只是改成了减少空气污染。
关于 空气污染， 政府政策，能源，写作团里都提供了详细的语料和常用思路，这道题应该觉得不难写。其次，这道题还是一个 因果题型，从逻辑上看，分析的思路角度也很多。
1. air pollution: 空气污染。
- 目前确实有很大部分空气污染是由于汽车尾气排放导致的，尤其是在城市。
- 但是也可以从反面论述：空气污染的主要源头并不是汽车尾气排放，而是工业排放。所以这个方法并不会起到设定的目标。
2. raise the cost of fuel for cars:
- 这样确实会促使人们减少用私家车，乘坐公交车，地铁等，减少尾气排放。
- 并不会起到多大作用。因为能够买车的人大部分都是中产阶级以上，他们能很大程度上容忍价格上涨。
其次，还有很多人因为住在郊区等必须依靠汽车通勤，所以这个措施除了增加人民负担，达不到设定的效果。
参考范文:
I disagree that simply raising fuel costs is an effective way to curb air pollution, because it unfairly punishes commuters without offering viable alternatives.In modern metropolitan regions, many families have relocated to suburbs in search of larger homes and a healthier living environment. For these residents,owning a private car is not a luxury but a necessity:buses or trains often do not serve peripheral neighborhoods, and when they do, schedules are infrequent and routes indirect.
If the government imposes higher fuel taxes, suburban drivers would face steeply increased commuting expenses with no realistic means of avoiding them.Rather than reducing emissions, this policy could provoke widespread frustration as households struggle to balance inflated gas bills with other living costs. Moreover, people might delay maintenance, leading to older, more polluting vehicles on the road—an unintended consequence that actually worsens air quality....
