统计结果粗来之后烤鸭应该有重点复习方向了吧？先看个雅思培训师的建议吧~~

雅思大作文的话题在今年的考试里没有太多新意，更多传承了以前雅思一度非常主流的社会类话题（包含发展、法律、性别等），而久违的因特网话题也在4月底回归了。本类别的单词准备也是大多数学生做得比较到位的部分。值得一提的是，2014年一个有难度的陌生话题出现在了3月15日（讨论城市拥有广场的必要性），但该话题与现在中国文化没有任何冲突，所以完全不影响在审题上出现异端。话题难度下降，同时考官在出题时把重心放在了审视学生对于简单话题的深刻理解和透彻分析上。简而言之，一个精英学生要想和学生拉开差距，在简单话题上的观点和解释要更加独具一格。因此建议考生在简单话题的观点整理上悉心准备。

小编小计一把，社会类话题不愧是雅思写作中的大咖呀，出现频率好高！但社会话题因囊括范围非常广，对它进行分类很有必要。此类话题在雅思写作中可以这样分为：1. 弱势群体（如老年人和妇女）；2. 工作、生活与家庭；3. 城市化与城乡差异；4. 政府职能；5. 其他话题。其中城市问题与其他话题都有关联，因此考得比较频繁，烤鸭可多关注社会新闻，摘录重点词汇。

Poorest children more likely to die young in developing countries

BY MARIA CASPANI

A “lottery of birth” is at play in many developing countries where poorer, socially disadvantaged children are more likely to die than their more fortunate peers, according to a leading children’s charity.

Save the Children said that in 78 percent of the 87 low and middle income countries it analyzed in its “Lottery of Birth” report, at least one social or economic group was lagging behind and making slower progress in reducing child mortality.

In 16 percent of those countries, the gap in child mortality rates had increased across all social and economic groups.

“In this day and age, it is scandalous that so many children’s chances of survival across the world is purely a matter of whether or not they were lucky enough to be born into an affluent family who can access quality healthcare,” Jonathan Glennie, director of policy and research at Save the Children, said in a statement.

Living in the countryside and belonging to a marginalized ethnic group are among the factors that play a huge role in a child’s chances of survival, the report said.

Disparities in child mortality rates between ethnic groups increased in 76 percent of the countries studied, it said.

In Indonesia, children born into the poorest 40 percent of households in 2012 were almost 2.5 times more likely to die than their peers in the richest 10 percent, the study found.

However, almost a fifth of the countries examined for the report had achieved rapid and inclusive reductions in child mortality, it said.

Some countries have made huge strides in ensuring the survival of children, saving tens of millions of lives since the Millennium Development Goals were set, Save the Children said.

“We know that change is possible. We now have a significant window of opportunity to drive this change,” said Glennie.

“World leaders must do everything in their power to ensure that they grasp this opportunity with both hands.”
