2015年2月28日雅思写作机经

 　　雅思考情回顾某同学的duangduang版本：当我第一次知道我又要考雅思的时候，其实我是，拒绝的。我跟老师讲，我拒绝，是因为，我根本不知道考官会出剑桥里一样的写作题。老师跟我讲，记得刷剑桥，写出来的作文会，很快，很通，很叼。刷了一个月题之后呢，作文分数：duang～duang～(对不起，我唱不下去了…)

　　Hi,大家晚上好，本月最后一场雅思考试中，task2部分出现了跟剑5test2 雷同的作文题。task1虽然是bar chart，但话题类型也在剑桥7test1中出现过。所以这个案例告诉我们一个道理：剑桥的老题，还是有很大的借鉴价值，大家有时间把剑桥里每道题目都研究透。

　　最后感谢宁波新东方天一校区寒假6.5分班J同学上海发来的考情回顾，我们祝福她能获得好成绩。^ ^

　　The chart below shows the expenditure¹ on three categories with different proportions among residents in the UK in 2004.

　　Generally, the proportion of budget on food increased steadily² with age, with around 6% in the youngest age group and nearly 25% in the oldest one.Similarly, the figures for entertainment presented an increasing trend, and the highest percentage could be seen in 60~75 group, at around 23%.

　　As shown in the bar chart, restaurant and hotel had a relatively³ lower figure compared with other two items and its figure decreased with age. It is interesting to note that middle-aged⁴ people and the elderly tended to spend the same expenditure on accommodation, with just over 10% respectively.
