同学们在备考雅思时要注意方法和技巧的运用，出国留学网雅思栏目为大家带来“2016年12月雅思大作文考情预测”，希望对大家备考雅思有所帮助哦!
我们对2010-2016年雅思考试写作大作文真题进行了全方位统计和分析，发现，2010-2015年间，12月份出现比较多的题材依次是：生活类(5/22)、教育类(4/47)、社会类(3/76)、文化类2/8。(X/Y中，X代表12月出现次数，Y代表2010-2015出现的总次数)
而在过去两个月中，即2016年10月和11月已经完成的考试中，雅思大作文题材罕见地集中在工作、科技和社会三个方面，因此，12月大家理应重点关注生活类、教育类和文化类。
据此，给出以下模拟题，请参加12月考试的烤鸭重点练习。
模拟题1：
Some people think that “vertical city” is the best, where people live and work in tall buildings. Others, however, think that “horizontal city” is better, where there are few tall buildings. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
提示：有人认为城市里有高楼大厦供人们工作和生活更好，其他则认为城市里高楼大厦应该少一些。分析双方观点，并提出自己的观点。写作时，应该分别论述高楼多的好处和坏处，高楼少的好处和坏处，最后自己提出一条标准来判断到底谁好谁坏。
模拟题2：
Nowadays, people always throw old things away and buy new things, whereas in the past, old things were repaired and used again. What factors cause this phenomenon? What effects does the phenomenon lead to?
提示：年关将近，该是清理家中东西的时候了，现在很多直接扔掉旧东西然后买新的，然而过去人们喜欢把旧东西修理修理继续用。那么，什么原因导致了这种变化?无非是现在人们有钱了;新产品不断出现;由于社会分工导致很多人不会自己修理旧东西(比如华尔街金融师不太可能知道怎么修理瘸腿的桌子)，等等。
模拟题3：
Some people say that the teaching method with a teacher and students in a classroom will not exist by the year 2050. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
提示：有人认为，到2050年，目前的这种教师和学生同处一个教室的教学方法将不复存在。你可能同意，也可能不同意。老雅认为，应该先分析先进的通讯工具给教育带来的冲击力;然后分析教室教育方式的不可替代性(面对面交流的情感教育更丰富，更容易相互促进，更容易进行合作和领导能力方面的培养等)
模拟题4：
Some people think that cultural traditions will be destoryed when they are used as money-making machines aimed at tourists, other people believe that it is the only way to save such conditions in the world today. Discuss both sides and give your own opinions.
提示：把文化传统拿来赚钱是在摧毁这些文化传统，还是在保护这些文化传统?老雅认为，如果为了赚钱，一味满足游客期待，文化传统必将受损，想象一下，莎士比亚的戏剧如果变成中国味会是一种什么景象?但同时，从旅游中挣来的钱又可能用于这些文化传统的维护。因此，最好的办法是用真正的传统去吸引游客，然后把赚来的钱用来完善、宣传传统文化。
以下题目，也值得练习一下：
1.Some people think that language teaching should take place in small classes, while others believe that the number of students in a language class does not matter. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
2.Shops should not be allowed to sell any food or drink that has been scientifically proved to be bad for people’s health. To what extend do you agree or disagree?
3.It is important to preserve both the culture and environment of the places you visit, but some people think it is impossible to be a responsible tourist. What are the reasons and solutions?
4.Young people are leaving their homes from rural areas to study or work in the cities. What are the reasons? Do advantages of this development outweigh its disadvantages?
5.In some parts of the world there is an increasing number of people trying to find out the history of their families.Why? Is this trend a positive or negative development?
6.Some people think reading stories in book is better than watching TV or playing computer games for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
