赖劲松
写在前面：没想到旅游的题目能出到这么难，想不偏/离题都难。据我了解多数人写偏了或者自己不知自己写了什么。这道题必须锁定下面两个要点：
1、 这是由不同文化背景的人去他国旅游而得到的understanding和引起的tension，忽略国际旅游或不同文化均以离题处置，英语高手可凭TASK1得高分换得最后得分5；
2、 这是argumentation的D型题， tension 和understanding 两方面都必须提及，只说一方面而不提另一方均以偏题处置，程度高者可得5分。
作文的评分标准首条：answering the question accurately 跟英语表达水平的高低没多大关系，这次是否会大开"杀戒"呢？普通考生，尤其是高中生该有什么对策呢？等这次outcome出来后再来斟酌。（附范文）

International tourism now is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, it creates tension rather than understanding between the peoples from different cultures.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
----------argumentation-----totally 353 words-------------------
Tourism can create jobs and other opportunities for almost all communities. Therefore, Governments worldwide have worked out many incentives aimed at developing overseas market. Personally I believe, tension is always accompanied with influxes of foreign visitors, which has already overshadowed understanding achieved via travel. (44words)
Let me start by talking about the tension brought by international tourism. Last Independence Day Festival, I, followed by a couple of friends, traveled to a small county located in Bolivia. Surprisingly we happened to see thousands of people singing and dancing on the street. Three guys dressing in local costume swayed badly towards us, bringing drinking beer for us. Owing to our arrival in a totally new place, we declined to take any alcohol in case of being entrapped. Unexpectedly quarrels occurred as a consequence of language barrier. What's worse, one of them spitted on us, whose behavior turned our journey to be a trip of humiliation and resentment. As a matter of fact, the local residents were celebrating yearly Beer Festival. Our refusal was regarded as a bad manner to look down upon them. For this reason, I would infer that international tourists usually spend only one or two days staying in the same place. It is impossible for them to thoroughly have a good knowledge of the local culture. Consequently misconception and disputes happen frequently between peoples embodied with varied culture backgrounds. (185 words)
Now let me turn to the discussion of understanding gained on the tour. Generally a western tourist is fond of visiting different places with exploring different customs, particularly those primitive cultures in remote mountainous areas. Such an exploration can expose himself with more opportunities of communicating with local people, which might be considered as a good way to better understand the local culture. However, different interpretation and religion eventually would probably lead him to conclude that those odd traditions handed down generation by generation in the destined region are no more than a superstitious belief. Such understanding does little good to maintain sound relationship between nations. (106 words)
All in all, global travel should be discouraged until understanding amid peoples overwhelmingly outweighs negative effects like tension. (18 words)
9月雅思考试小作文范文集
9月6日 task1
In cool climates special attention is given to the use of building materials that have a high "thermal mass". Insulation is used on the outside of heavy materials such as concrete, brick or adobe. this kind of material stores heat and slowly releases it while external insulation ensures that all heat absorbed by the wall materials is released inside the building. careful positioning of the building and large windows facing winter sunlight also assist to passively heat the house.
The roof has an extreme angle to assist with snow runoff and roof overhang does not interfere with sunlight.
Homes in warm climates require the opposite approach. insulation and reflective roof material aims to keep heat from the sun out. windows are placed under a wider roof overhang so that they are shaded from direct light in the day and so that cooler night air can move through the house when the windows are open. construction materials such as wood and steel have low thermal mass and gain and lose heat quickly.

A "solar still" can be easily made to demonstrate that there is often water in even the driest places. we can collect water with little more than a sheet of plastic and a container.
We first dig a hole several feet deep in the ground and place a container at its center. put as much green living plant material as you can find around the container. grass, tree leaves and other plants all contain water. in the day time the sun causes water in the plants to evaporate.
Place the plastic film over the hole using stones to keep it in place as the diagram shows. leaving a dip in the center, the plants' water will condense on the inside of the plastic and will drip into the container. we can also collect early morning dew in the center of the dip too.
Evaporation is the name of the process when water turns from a liquid into a gas. condensation is the process when water turns from a gas to a liquid.

The low cost of land, easy access by both road and rail and the expected boom in housing planned for the west of g township, makes site s2 an attractive choice for our supermarket. it is also geographically closer to town h, the other large municipality in the area and avoids the industrial zones located north and south of g.
site s1, inside the town center, is not a suitable option due to the higher costs. and access for customers and suppliers will be extremely difficult now that it has been zoned a traffic-free area.
lower land cost will allow us to have large areas of parking to accommodate rapidly increasing private car ownership and attached facilities will enable owners to have their cars serviced while they are shopping.
a free bus service, recreational park and first class shopping facilities will make shopping a family event and the clean country location will be part of a positive experience.
