A hundred years ago, people think that human race is steadily improving in every area of life. Nowadays, there is no certainty of this case. In which areas do you think we have made important progress nowadays? In which areas do you think we still need to make progress?

点评：小作文的表格题需注意数据间的联系和趋势的提炼。大作文比较宽泛，可以写科技、环境和经济等各个方面。但行文时需注意进步和需进一步改善两方面都要提及。

Some people believe that teenagers should learn all school subjects, while others claim that students should focus on the subjects that they are best at or that they are interested in. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

点评：小作文是综合图表，但都牵涉到横向比较。学生要掌握横向比较的构思方法，描写的句型词汇，如排序，倍数等表达。小作文数据较多，要注意选择，构思较简单；大作文考题为以前的旧题，教育类。

点评：小作文贴近生活，完成150字难度系数不高，学生要学会适当的imagination的能力。大作文关注文化类话题，对于考G类的考生应该不会陌生。但此次的问题模式不是常见的讨论类模式，是问题原因和讨论类的综合，所以审题和对文章结构的安排有一定难度。考生平时一定要加强brainstorming 的能力以及文章各种结构的安排。
