It’s hard to pin down exactly what type of program it was, I guess a mixture of science and history, with some everyday facts thrown in for good The title itself is a play on words, as the series would show you ‘how to’ do certain

The show is aimed at kids in middle school or high The hosts would routinely do experiments to demonstrate science in action, I remember one in particular where the presenters were trying to pour water out of a bottle in the quickest way The winner had a very good technique whereby she would swirl the water, creating a vortex and causing the liquid to fly out of the bottle far quicker than any of the others’.

As you would expect, the show got me interested in science and learning, but it also showed that you could do many experiments yourself and have fun at home, with everyday objects and materials that were easy to get hold At school we would need equipment and the teacher would have to supervise us, but at home we could be left to our own devices, with just a bottle and some water to keep us

话题考频：

人物类的话题本来就是雅思口语第二部分中出现频率较高的类别，而人物类中有关于家人的话题也会变换不同的家庭成员进行考察，包括家庭中的小孩儿，家庭中有趣的成员以及本题中涉及的你知道的一个好家长等等。关于我知道的一个好家长，就会想到我一个朋友的妈妈，由于她特别宽容，也教育她的孩子宽容待人，尊重他人，在我眼里她是我知道的一个好家长。

话题解析：

对于第二部分需要强调的是充分的准备，无论是在论点方面，还是在词汇方面，以便充分论述话题。在这道题中考生对人物相貌的描述可以参考使用oval faces 椭圆的脸型, fair skin 皮肤白皙以及 big charming eyes。另外，还有对于发型的描述 with long curly hair 长长的卷发或 straight hair直发等。考生还需要在描述人物的体型时避免使用fat一词， 因为毕竟直接这样形容一个人不太礼貌，如果要表达胖可以用 overweight。

考生在审题的时候一定要仔细注意题目要求，论述的是一位好家长，而不是一对好父母。单复数的限定必须要注意到，在整个话题的论述中讲一位家长就好，可以是某人的爸爸、妈妈、爷爷或奶奶。在论述中还一定要注意在讲parent时不要加s,否则对于单复数的限定就没有把握好。

在整个话题的论述当中，最好举例说明自己知道的这位好家长到底如何好。考生们可以讲述整个事件，也可以把讲故事或者发生的一件事作为举例的一种形式。但是需要注意在讲述事件的时候不要太纠结过于细致的细节描述。

第二部分话题的论述中一定要注意时态。尤其在这个话题的论述中很明显事件是已经发生过的，所以对于事件描述要注意过去时的使用。

范例：

Well, speaking of a good parent I know, I’d like to talk about the mother of one friend of mine, Mrs Wong, who’s an excellent Regarding how I knew this person, well, I first met her many years ago, like a decade ago or something, you know, I went to the same primary school with her daughter, Because Lily and I had a lot of things in common, we hit it off and ended up seeing quite a lot of each other’s As for what she looks like, well, interesting enough, she actually looks pretty similar to I mean, they both have oval faces, fair skin and big charming Of course, there’s something Mrs Wong is in her 40s, of medium height, but a little bit overweight, with long curly hair, whereas as a teenager, Lily is pretty short and slim with short straight Ultimately, moving on to why I think she’s a good parent, what I’d like to say here is that there are quite a few And the main reason is that she sets a very good example for her Just to give you an example, she always teaches Lily to be a tolerant person and she is such a tolerant person As far as I know, she has never been rude to anyone, even if she’s very I still remember once Lily was hit by a stone thrown away by a boy by accident and her head was When Mrs Wong arrived here, she didn’t get mad or blame that guilty Instead, she comforted him and then took Lily to the Also, she told Lily to forgive that boy, because he didn’t really mean It’s fair to say almost every person speak highly of Mrs So, I guess Mrs Wong is not only a good parent for Lily, but a role model for me as

Global Warming and the Polar Bear

A Polar bears prefer to live in extremely cold artic climates. They live only in the Northern Hemisphere, on the arctic ice cap, and they spend most of their time on coastal areas. Polar bears are widely

spread in Canada, extending from the northern arctic islands south to the Hudson Bay area. They are also found in Greenland, on islands off the shore of Norway, on the northern coast of the former Soviet Union, and on the northern and northwestern coasts of Alaska in the United States.

B The polar bear is the largest members of the bear family. Males Polar Bears stand from eight to 11 feet tall and generally weigh from 500 to 1,000 pounds, but can weigh as much as 1,400 pounds.

Female bears generally stand eight feet tall and weigh 400 to 600 pounds, except some, which can reach 700 pounds. The reason the polar bear weighs so much is that it stores about a four-inch layer of fat to keep it warm. The polar bear has a long, narrower head and nose, and small ears. It has coat that appears white but, each individual hair is actually clear and hollow. This helps the

polar bear keep warm. The polar bears coat helps it blend in with its snowy surroundings, this adaptation helps the Polar Bear hide while hunting. The polar bears front legs are slightly pigeon-toed, and fur covers the bottoms of its paws. These adaptations help polar bears keep themselves from slipping on ice.

Hackers target the home front

1. One of the UKs leading banks has been forced to admit that organised hacking gangs have been targeting its executives. For the past year, Royal Bank of Scotland has been fighting systematic attempts to break into its computer systems from hackers who have sent personalised emails containing keyloggers to its senior management. This has included executives up to board level and is now the subject of a separate investigation by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.

2. The hackers are homing in on the trend for people to work from home. The hackers make the assumption that the computers being used outside the work environment are more vulnerable than those protected by a corporate IT department.

Growing threat

3. For companies it is a growing threat as home working increases: a recent survey from the Equal Opportunities Commission found that more than 60% of the UKs population wants the option of flexible working.

4. And the hackers are employing increasingly sophisticated techniques. Each email they send is meticulously built to make it attractive to its target, who the criminals have carefully researched by trawling the internet for information. Once the email is composed, the malware is just as carefully designed: it is often modified to avoid detection by security software.

Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shop and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other arts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.

To begin with, muzak was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, its become big businessthanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.

But, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isnt always answer. Dr.Milliman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurants owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers movingunless of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints!

1. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______.

A. it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it

B. it can help to create a soothing atmosphere

Study Finds Web Antifraud Measure Ineffective

1. Internet security experts have long known that simple passwords do not fully defend online bank accounts from determined fraud artists. Now a study suggests that a popular secondary security measure provides little additional protection.

2.The study, produced jointly by researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, looked at a technology called site-authentication images. In the system, currently used by financial institutions like Bank of America, ING Direct and Vanguard, online banking customers are asked to select an image, like a dog or chess piece, that they will see every time they log in to their account.

3.The idea is that if customers do not see their image, they could be at a fraudulent Web site, dummied up to look like their bank’s, and should not enter their passwords.

4.The Harvard and M.I.T. researchers tested that hypothesis. In October, they brought 67 Bank of America customers in the Boston area into a controlled environment and asked them to conduct routine online banking activities, like looking up account balances. But the researchers had secretly withdrawn the images.

5.Of 60 participants who got that far into the study and whose results could be verified, 58 entered passwords anyway. Only two chose not to log on, citing security concerns.

6.“The premise is that site-authentication images increase security because customers will not enter their passwords if they do not see the correct image,” said Stuart Schechter, a computer scientist at the M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory. “From the study we learned that the premise is right less than 10 percent of the time.”

7.He added: “If a bank were to ask me if they should deploy it, I would say no, wait for something better,” he said.

8.The system has some high-power supporters in the financial services world, many trying to comply with new online banking regulations. In 2005, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, an interagency body of federal banking regulators, determined that passwords alone did not effectively thwart intruders like identity thieves.

9.It issued new guidelines, asking financial Web sites to find better ways for banks and customers to identify each other online. January 2007 was set as the compliance date, though the council has yet to begin enforcing the mandate.

10.Banks immediately knew what they did not want to do: ask customers to download new security software, or carry around hardware devices that feed them PIN codes they can use to authenticate their identities. Both solutions would add an extra layer of security but, the banks believed, detract from the convenience of online banking.

11.The image system, introduced in 2004 by a Silicon Valley firm called PassMark Security, offered banks a pain-free addition to their security arsenals. Bank of America was among the first to adopt it, in June 2005, under the brand name SiteKey, asking its 21 million Web site users to select an image from thousands of possible choices and to choose a unique phrase they would see every time they logged in.

12.SiteKey “gives our customers a fairly easy way of authenticating the Bank of America Web site,” said Sanjay Gupta, an e-commerce executive at the bank. “It was very well received.”

13.The Harvard and M.I.T. researchers, however, found that most online banking customers did not notice when the SiteKey images were absent. When respondents logged in during the study, they saw a site maintenance message on the screen where their image and phrases should have been pictured. The error message also had a conspicuous spelling mistake, further suggesting something fishy.

14.Mr. Gupta of Bank of America said he was not troubled by the results of the survey, and stressed that SiteKey had made the bank’s Web site more secure. He also said that the system was only a single part of a larger security blanket. “It’s not like we’re betting the bank on SiteKey,” he said.

15.Most financial institutions, like Bank of America, have other ways to tell if a customer is legitimate. The banks often drop a small software program, called a cookie, onto a user’s PC to associate the computer with the customer. If the customer logs in from another machine, he may be asked personal questions, like his mother’s maiden name.

16.Rachna Dhamija, the Harvard researcher who conducted the study, points out that swindlers can use their dummy Web sites to ask customers those personal questions. She said that the study demonstrated that site-authentication images are fundamentally flawed and, worse, might actually detract from security by giving users a false sense of confidence.

17.RSA Security, the company that bought PassMark last year, “has a lot of great data on how SiteKey instills trust and confidence and good feelings in their customers,” Ms. Dhamija said. “Ultimately that might be why they adopted it. Sometimes the appearance of security is more important than security itself.”

Sleep medication linked to bizarre behaviour

New evidence has linked a commonly prescribed sleep medication with bizarre behaviours, including a case in which a woman painted her front door in her sleep.

UK and Australian health agencies have released information about 240 cases of odd occurrences, including sleepwalking, amnesia and hallucinations among people taking the drug zolpidem.

While doctors say that zolpidem can offer much-needed relief for people with sleep disorders, they caution that these newly reported cases should prompt a closer look at its possible side effects.

Zolpidem, sold under the brand names Ambien, Stilnoct and Stilnox, is widely prescribed to treat insomnia and other disorders such as sleep apnea. Various forms of the drug, made by French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis, were prescribed 674,500 times in 2005 in the UK.

A newly published report from Australias Federal Health Department describes 104 cases of hallucinations and 62 cases of amnesia experienced by people taking zolpidem since marketing of the drug began there in 2000. The health department report also mentioned 16 cases of strangesleepwalking by people taking the medication.

Midnight snack

In one of these sleepwalking cases a patient woke with a paintbrush in her hand after painting the front door to her house. Another case involved a woman who gained 23 kilograms over seven months while taking zolpidem. It was only when she was discovered in front of an open refrigerator while asleep that the problem was resolved, according to the report.

雅思作文练习题

题目：

An increasing number of people choose to live in big cities.

What problems will this bring about? Should the government encourage people to live in small towns?

范文：

By virtue of economic advantage of big cities, growing numbers of people like to make a living here. Inevitably, some problems arise. A very serious issue is defined environmental concern. A bigger inner city population leads to more frequent use of vehicles, from private cars or trucks, that produce a great deal of pollution. Plus, the increase of the amount of living waste imposes a very negative influence on the environment around these cities.

Another problem is that the increase of population in big cities gives rise to the increasing rate of crime. This is why crime rate in big cities is more than that in small towns.

However, I disagree with the opinion held by some people that the Government ought to persuade the people to move out cities into towns, with the explanation that the today’s Government that is paid a large sum of taxes by payers should not interrupt the citizens’ normal living by telling them to live here or there. Instead, it should try to think out alternative good avenues to work the problems out.

Another reason for my judge is that those living in big cities could strongly oppose to move out because they are used to the current lifestyle. or the environment around them. If they had to move into small towns, they would feel lost or uneasy. In other words, the Government would be making another trouble- the complaint by citizens – just because of encouraging city dwellers to live in small towns.

In conclusion, my view is that the Government should try to improve current situations with the aim of helping with problems rather than simply use population immigration.

雅思口语应该怎么进行思维拓展练习题答案

用对了方法，备考雅思就会事半功倍哦。雅思栏目为您带来如何开阔思维快速拓展雅思口语答案，希望对大家有所帮助。

如何有逻辑地拓展自己的回答一直是让烤鸭们头疼的问题。很多学生因为不知道如何针对自己的回答做出充分合理的`拓展，要么回答过于简短、逻辑过于跳跃，要么磕磕巴巴、影响流利度，这些都会导致考场失分。为此，总结出一条快速应对雅思口语考试各种题目的基本法则供广大考生参考。

首先是直接回答，是指针对考官的提问直接正面回答，切忌兜圈子和回避考官问题。接下来，我们要针对回答进行解释，给出原因。很多同学面对熟悉的话题很容易想到原因，但是如果是日常生活中很少接触的事物，则会没有头绪。出现这种状况的原因是大家往往倾向于从事物本身的特点出发想原因，参见以下例子：(请注意黑体字因果逻辑连接词的替换)：

△ Im quite into music for the reason that it never fails to cheer me up.

△ I love my name coz it makes people easily remember me.

△ I enjoy playing computer games as its really fun and its a great way to loosen up.

从这个角度出发想原因并没错，但是当这条路走不通的时候，可以从其他角度发散思维。例如回想一下自己以往好的或者糟糕的经历，参考以下例子：

△ I cant stand public transportation coz every time I take a bus or subway, especially during rush hours, its packed like sardines and I feel like Im going to die.

△ Swimming would be the last thing (that) I want to do. And as I see it, its mainly because once I almost drowned in a river when I was little. It was so horrible.

其次可以想想身边人对你的影响，参考以下例子：

△ Im a big fan of classical music thanks to my mom, who used to put on some music by Beethoven or Schubert at home when I was a kid.

△I find it great to ride bicycles thanks to my bestie, Lily, who is a super fan of cycling. Actually, she always invites me to some local cycling events and gradually its become a necessary part of my life as well.

总结一下，当刚刚听到问题没有思路时，可以从以下几个方面来找灵感：事物本身特点、自己过去经历(开心的/不开心的)、其他人的影响。这样可以帮助我们大大提高流利度。

最后，补充一些细节来支撑刚刚给出的原因。不知道如何给具体例子的烤鸭们，李双老师建议参考个人习惯句型I mean/Actually/In fact/For example, what, who, when, where, why。

下面我们通过Part 1和 Part 3两道例题，再来完整回顾一下直接回答-给原因-给细节这个法则。

Part 1例题：Whats your favorite part of your country?

I definitely think the food culture is the best part of my country. (直接作答)I mean, China never fails to satisfy all peoples needs for tasty food. (给原因)Although sometimes the way we make food is not that healthy, I still think its an ideal place for foodies for the reason that it has a lot to offer, from spicy food to light-cooked food to various kinds of dessert.(给细节)

有时给原因和给细节的顺序可以灵活调整，参考下面Part 3部分的一道例题：Are science museums popular in China?

Definitely! Science museums are popular among not only science buff but also people who are not that crazy about science (直接作答). Actually, no matter its during the weekdays or on the weekends, science museums are always busy and full of visitors (给细节). As I see it, its mainly because the exhibitions/displays in those science museums enable people to enhance their knowledge about ST in an interactive and vivid way (给原因).

雅思写作否定表达练习题

Bingo!

来个汉译英热热身吧：

很多老年人找不到高工资的工作。

Old people cannot find high-paid jobs.

还是

The old cannot find jobs which offer high salary.

哪一个句子和你的差不多?

如果在雅思写作中只是简单的用not的思维来套用否定，那么这个句子可能有点low。我们试一下改写。

改写一：Old people may find it difficult to hunt the well-paid jobs.

这个句子感觉上好了很多。用find it difficult to do这个词组来换掉cannot; 用hunt来换掉find这个常用动词。

改写二：Few theelderly meet job opportunities with high wage.

在这个句子中，few这个词表示很少的，替代cannot。而在动词方面使用meet。

通过这两个句子改写，我们可以看到小小的否定所带来的不一样的改变。其实在课堂上，我通常会将否定表达作为一个主要补充知识点给学生。越是容易忽略的点，越有可能得到迅速提高。

闲话少叙，总结如下：

首先，常用的 cannot ;do not

cannot 我们可以直接考虑 be unable to。

do not呢???思考时间。

答案来了：fail to。

其次，有关否定的形容词有如下：

find it difficult/hard todo sth

find trouble in doing sth

It is less likely/impossible/ difficult to do

few/little

再者，关于否定的动词总结如下，并欢迎你们自行补充。

禁止：refuse、 avoid、forbid、 ban、preventfrom、 prohibit

减少：lessen、lower、decrease、decline

阻碍：hold up、 stand in the way of、block、put off、interrupt

破坏：destroy、damage、disturb、break、exert great damage to、do harm to、disorder、pose threat to

注：请同学们重点记忆短语类表达，也就是词伙。

最后，有关否定的副词：

hardly

barely

rarely

seldom

only

我们再来翻译一个句子

在家受教育的小孩子很难与他人有效沟通。

Homeschooled children hardly communicate with others effectively.

上面的.句子是大部分学生的翻译答案。在当我们用到以上否定副词的时候，要注意倒装句的使用。

[注：通常句子结构为主语+谓语，但在实际语法应用中，为了表示强调，常把谓语移到主语之前，为倒装，常见有完全倒装和部分倒装。而否定副词类属于部分倒装。]

来我们看一下变成倒装和部分改变后的句子：

改写一：Hardly do homeschooled children interact with the peer effectively.

1)倒装：否定副词提前，后面提取本句谓语动词的一部分到主语前。

2)改写：communicate 改为interact

others 替换为 the peer

改写二：Hardly do homeschooled children develop effective people skills withthe peer.

在改写二中，可以看到interact又被develop effective people skills所替代。

通过以上否定的讲解，大家可以看到对于否定的改变使得句子层次提高了，摆脱了中国学生千篇一律的表达方式。而两个翻译句子，我们可以看到句子的经过逐步替代后所显示出不一样的level。

总之，对于雅思作文的句子，其实我个人并不反对学生先想中文，再进行中译英的翻译。然而在翻译过程中，会产生千变万化。建议各位烤鸭们不要只关注结构啊，词汇替换啊这些，也平常每日抽出10分钟， 做3-5个中译英的翻译练习做积累。
