到了八月的季节，整个暑假只过去了1/4，我也正如火如荼呢。好了，转入正题，八月要关注的是2和1号球，2号球更重要些，特别是关于传统基础设施的一些题目，也就是我课上给大家划的基本训练题，比如交通、环保等，这些题的训练对于整个2号球的写作有举一反三的意义，1号球在7月份有所测试，8月份继续关注，可重点写写知识经验和少小离家的题目。
关于Task1，果然和我事先估计的差不多，7月的前两次没有考流程图，7月21号果然考了，其实每考一次对于下半年考试的人是个好消息，大家把握一个规律：一般不会连续两次考这种偷袭题型，通常会隔两周左右再次出现，当然谁也不可能完全预测其出现的具体时间，所以我们还是要花2个小时去复习偷袭题型，特别是INTRODUCTION题型，这种题型往往是看不懂，难度超过FLOW CHART，后者其实并不难写，大家要全面贯彻我在最后一节课的schedule，否则功亏一篑。下面是要写的Task 2，下载的为重点准备的Task 1。剑6的文章也可以练练。
Far too little has been done to prevent animals and plants from dying out. People today have noticed this problem, but few actions are taken. Why do you think people do little about it, and what do you suggest to solve this problem?
Some people think that schools should 0select their pupils according to their academic ability. Others believe that young people with different abilities should be educated together. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people. Others think the purpose of museums is to educate, not to entertain. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
In many countries, more and more young people are leaving school and unable to find jobs after graduation. What problems do you think youth unemployment will cause to the individual and the society? Give reasons and make some suggestions.
粉色为2号球，绿色为1号球
