There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?

满分范文：
It is true that a rich variety of musical styles can be found around the world. Music is a vital part of all human cultures for a range of reasons, and I would argue that traditional music is more important than modern, international music.
Music is something that accompanies all of us throughout our lives. As children, we are taught songs by our parents and teachers as a means of learning language, or simply as a form of enjoyment. Children delight in singing with others, and it would appear that the act of singing in a group creates a connection between participants, regardless of their age. Later in life, people’s musical preferences develop, and we come to see our favourite songs as part of our life stories. Music both expresses and arouses emotions in a way that words alone cannot. In short, it is difficult to imagine life without it.
In my opinion, traditional music should be valued over the international music that has become so popular. International pop music is often catchy and fun, but it is essentially a commercial product that is marketed and sold by business people. Traditional music, by contrast, expresses the culture, customs and history of a country. Traditional styles, such as ...(example)..., connect us to the past and form part of our cultural identity. It would be a real pity if pop music became so predominant that these national styles disappeared.
In conclusion, music is a necessary part of human existence, and I believe that traditional music should be given more importance than international music.
(261 words, band 9)
词汇总结：
delight in: delight in doing sth非常喜欢做某事
enjoyment: 愉快，享受
essentially: 基本上，常和basically/fundamentally替换
marketed: 这里market做动词，意为“卖”
catchy: 可以指音乐悦耳易记
cultural identity: 文化认同
predominant: 突出的，显著的

今天要讲的是Pie Charts——饼形图。题目如下：
The pie charts below show how dangerous waste products are dealt with in three countries.
看过前几期文章的同学应该都知道Simon写小作文的段落结构：
1. Introduction 2. Overview/Summary 3. Details 4. Details
接下来大家针对这篇文章先思考两个问题：
1. How would you paraphrase the question statement above? 你会如何复述题目？(Introduction)
2. What two main or general points would you choose for the summary?你会选择写哪两个主要信息？(Overview/summary)
大家按照自己的思路写一下文章的前两段，然后和Simon写的做下比较：
The charts compare Korea, Sweden and the UK in terms of the methods used in each country to dispose of harmful waste.
It is clear that in both the UK and Sweden, the majority of dangerous waste products are buried underground. By contrast, most hazardous materials in the Republic of Korea are recycled.
现在大家仔细看图，思考一下哪些Details可以写进后两段。这里是Simon给的6个细节：
1. Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that 82% of the UK’s dangerous waste is put into landfill sites.
2. This disposal technique is used for 55% of the harmful waste in Sweden and only 22% of similar waste in Korea.
3. The latter country recycles 69% of hazardous materials, which is far more than the other two nations.
4. While 25% of Sweden's dangerous waste is recycled, the UK does not recycle at all.
5. Instead, it dumps waste at sea or treats it chemically.
6. These two methods are not employed in Korea or Sweden, which favour incineration for 9% and 20% of dangerous waste respectively.
完整范文：

词汇总结：
dispose：词是disposal，“废弃”
hazardous：英文释意full of risk or danger，有时可与dangerous替换
favour：可作动词，“支持”
respectively：分别地

今天要分析的题目是地图——Maps。
有的学生说，地图题型相对不常见，所以备考可以忽略。针对这种想法，Simon是这样说的：While it's true that graphs and charts are the most common types of question, I think it would be very unwise not to prepare for diagrams and maps too. What happens if you get one of these questions in your test and you haven't prepared for it? 虽然不常见，但是如果平时不做任何准备，万一考到后果不堪设想。其实地图题并没有大家想象地那么难，只要花时间仔细研究一下Simon的范文，大家都能写出一篇好作文。
请看今天的题目，就是下面这个地图：
写作文之前，要先Plan your structure，Simon建议地图题依然沿用4段式：
1. Introduction: what does the chart show?
2. Overview / summary: what are the most noticeable features?
3. Specific details: try to write 2 paragraphs.
接下来说地图题最难的地方——如何准确读出图中所给信息，我们就先来分析一下，从这个地图上我们可写的信息有哪些，首先地图上为数不多的单词或数字不可遗漏，上方那句是说这张图展现了一个叫做Chorleywood的村庄在1868年到1994年之间的发展情况。然后很清楚地能看出，在四个不同的时期，它的交通设施有明显的改善。居民都住在各种路的旁边。这些只是大概的Overview,足够写出前两段了，那还有哪些具体的细节，能够写进第三、四段中呢?大家自己再仔细看地图，从中找中可写的Details。
接下来贴出完整满分范文，大家读的时候看一下Simon按照什么order、挑出哪些细节来描述的：
The map shows the growth of a village called Chorleywood between 1868 and 1994.
It is clear that the village grew as the transport infrastructure was improved. Four periods of development are shown on the map, and each of the populated areas is near to the main roads, the railway or the motorway.
From 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood covered a small area next to one of the main roads. Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located next to this original village area. The village grew along the main road to the south between 1883 and 1922, and in 1909 a railway line was built crossing this area from west to east. Chorleywood station is in this part of the village.
The expansion of Chorleywood continued to the east and west alongside the railway line until 1970. At that time, a motorway was built to the east of the village, and from 1970 to 1994, further development of the village took place around motorway intersections with the railway and one of the main roads.
最后是词汇总结：
growth:Simon在对题目进行复述的时候用growth替换了development，这个用法大家要记住。
infrastructure:极其高频，常出现于写作和阅读，“设施”
populated:大家平时很少用形容词的形式，其英文释意为“furnished with inhabitants,即”有人居住的“
original:最初的，原始的
intersections with:和...相交，交叉路口，听力地图题中也很常见
