1、動物需要保護嗎？

母題：Now many people think that we are spending too much money and time on protecting wild animals. The money should be better spent on human population. Do you agree or disagree? (031213, 110709)

提示：這類題型采取駁斥的寫法來寫，先駁斥這是浪費錢，因為在動物上花的錢可以通過發(fā)展旅游業(yè)來得到補償。然后再寫動物保護的意義。

子題：要不要進行動物實驗？要不要把動物關(guān)在動物園里？要不要吃動物的肉？人們可以采取什么措施來保護珍稀的動植物物種？

2、環(huán)境保護誰來負責？

母題：Environmental problem is too big for individual countries and individual people to address. In other words, we have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (040228, 040515, 110507)

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

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

3、垃圾問題怎么辦？

母題：Many people say that we have developed into a “throw-away” culture, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree with this opinion and what measures can you recommend reducing this problem? (050806)

提示：這道題目應(yīng)該圍繞“一次性文化”產(chǎn)生的原因、后果和解決方法來展開。原因：對于方便、衛(wèi)生的追求。后果：破壞水源、污染土地、污染空氣。解決方法：三個R：reduce, reuse, recycle。

子題：消費品的增加會導致自然環(huán)境的破壞，原因和解決方法是什么？

4、自然資源如何保護？

母題：Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, are used in many countries. But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development? (090530)、

提示：這道題目問的是新能源alternative energy的優(yōu)缺點。優(yōu)點：取之不盡用之不竭inexhaustible，更環(huán)保environmentally-friendly, 缺點：核能nuclear power會引發(fā)安全事故，水能hydropower會破壞生態(tài)環(huán)境upset the ecological balance, 太陽能solar power 成本太高，風能wind power會產(chǎn)生次聲波污染infrasonic wave.

子題：淡水資源如何保護？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，因為飛機承載的乘客數(shù)量和行駛的距離要遠大于汽車，因此先駁斥理由，再講飛機被禁止的后果（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？廉價航空是否應(yīng)當被推廣？

6、食品安全

母題：Some people support the developments in agriculture such as factory farming and creations of new types of fruits and vegetables, while others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (080712)

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)模噴灑化學肥料chemical fertiliser和農(nóng)藥pesticide，集中式養(yǎng)殖battery farming會侵害動物權(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：長距離運輸（空運）食品的好壞，科技改變食品的好壞。

注意：本題是一個邊緣話題，不能完全歸類到環(huán)保類下。比如長距離運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。
