8月20日雅思回顾

雅思前辈

2011年8月20日雅思考试整体难度适中。听力考试继续偏易。三旧一新无论如何都难不起来了。S1租房题，好久没有出这种程度的S1了，应该幸福下。S2和S4是09年的旧题，不过8选择和10 选择还是让人比较纠结的。尤其是S4的10选择，困死了不少人吧。S3是经典300，在10年出现过的。这3个题目必然预测中吧。整体来看听力难度不大，但是小心细节问题，注意注意，容易的题目最容易忽略了。

阅读难度适中，相对于前两次考试来说难度不大。但是极多的搭配和TF还是让人不适应啊。

但是写作难度较大。这次的小作文没什么说的。关键是大作文，这个题目相当变态，难度很大，而且极其容易偏题。大家注意大家注意啊！！！ 下面给大家一片文章，出自教科书，供广大同学参考。


Some people believe police officers carrying guns will encourage the level of violence. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2011. 8.20 Academic Module)

On account of a series of commotions happening recently in a wide range of countries, especially the United Kingdom, a significant number of people consider that police officers carrying guns on patrol duty would promote the grade of violence. However, I am opposed to this perspective. (46words)

The reasons that a police officer carrying guns walking around is less likely to enhance the level of violent crimes involve the recognition that police officers are those who are responsible for taking care of all the citizens’ safety and wearing guns could largely make sure of this. Why I harbor this perception is mainly attributed to the fact that guns would, to a large extent, deter the latent criminals. For example, if someone has the intention to commit a crime, there is a higher possibility for them to quit taking action as a result of the police carrying guns around. In this regard, the level of violence tends to descend and such standpoint stated in the topic seems hardly hold water. (122words)

However, those who believe police officers carrying guns on duty would inevitably increase the level of violence may still be worried. Robbery is a great case in point. If someone intends to rob a bank for money and they are entirely aware of the situation that police officers are equipped with guns, they are likely to make sufficient preparation for having a gun battle with the police. Were they to fire, there would be great losses in terms of innocent people’s lives. This will probably jeopardize the stability of our society. But when police officers are constantly on alert for any possible emergency, chances are slim for them to commit a crime. (112wrods)

In conclusion, I tend to maintain that police officers carrying guns would substantially decrease the level of violence rather than increase it. (22wrods)
