一、考试整体概述：
以下为5月份本场高频题，请考生扎实准备
1. Describe a building you like
2. Describe a public place that you think needs improvements
3. Describe a city or country that you would like to live or work
4. Describe an important river or lake in your country
5. Describe a leisure facility you would like to have in your hometown
二、本场难题及解析
Describe a building you like
You should say：
Where it is
What it is used for
What it looks like
And explain why you like it
As for a building I like， I would like to talk about a temple in my hometown.
The temple dates back to the 15th century. Today， a lot of people still go there to pray for good luck and good health. Interestingly， although it’s a holy place， it’s located on the one of busiest streets in my hometown.
But from the moment you enter the temple， you start to feel calm and peaceful. Like most historic buildings in the area， the temple faces south， and the front gate is guarded by two stone lions. As you enter the front hall， you will see four wood sculptures， which are called ‘the Four Heavenly Kings’.
The Great Hall is separated from the front hall with a courtyard where you can see lots of trees and plants. The roof of the Great Hall is supported by tall， thick columns. Inside it， you can see a Buddha statue and statues of his students.
The temple is well-preserved and in good condition. It attracts thousands of tourists each year. And it provides cultural activities as well， including traditional art classes. So besides being a place of worship， it’s also educational and fun.

一、 考试概述：
本次考试的文章是三篇新题，但有考生反应三篇题目为4月21日亚太考区原题。本次题型同样是第一篇较简单仅有填空题和判断题，但第二篇文章考了两道难度较大的配对题，第三篇文章也考了比较浪费时间的单选题及选词填空题，部分考生反应做完第二篇时间来不及。建议大家考试时以及平常练习时合理规划好做题时间。

TASK 1
类型：饼状图
题目：The charts show the total water use in different sectors in Sydney， Australia in 1997 and 2007.
字数：150 words
The two pie charts illustrate the percentage of total water use in five different industry sectors including service， food， building， household and manufacturing in Sydney， Australia in two separate years： 1997 and 2007.
Generally speaking， the water use in food industry constituted the largest part in both years and decreased slightly from 48% to 41%； while building industry consumed the smallest proportion， declining from 5% in 1997 to only 2% in 2007.
It should also be noticed that the proportion of water use in service industry showed a dramatic increasing trend， nearly doubled from only 13% in 1997 to 25% in 2007. By contrast， the percentage of water use in household industry and manufacturing industry both fluctuated slightly， ranging from 19% to 21% and 11% to 15% respectively.
Overall， the percentage of water consumption remained relatively stable in food， manufacturing and household industry while fluctuated obviously in building and service
TASK 2
题目类别：政府，艺术
提问方式：观点类
考试题目：
People believe arts like painting and music does not directly improve the quality of life， and therefore they think government’s money should be spent on other things. To what extend do you agree or disagree？
Word count（303）
Throughout the history， arts have always been placed in an inferior place compared with other more seemingly more important facets such as education， economy and health care. As intangible arts might be， I still believe that it should be more highly valued by governments because it can make the masses enjoy a better life.
Arts， especially the visual ones， can make cities and towns more visually attractive and spectacular. This is because artists know the tips that can please our brains， and they can employ a variety of shapes， pattern， colors and designs to arouse our aesthetic desire. Moderns cities are a place to demonstrate the function of art because it is ubiquitous to see a host of well-designed advertising pictures displayed along the streets and in the shopping malls； some cities decorate landmark buildings with sophisticated external glass walls. Living in this environment， citizens are likely to be proud of the modernization of the place where they live and their sense of happiness will also be improved.
Other forms of art， such as music， opera， and dancing， can also never be underestimated due to their effect on people’s emotions. Enjoying a piece of light music or immersing themselves in an opera， people’s mind can be soothed； an engaging dance is also likely to help release some pressures because dancers focus on motions and paces， casting the worries aside for the time being. In some developed countries， music and dancing even used as aiding therapy for those who are suffering mental fatigue， considerable stress or even mental disorder.
In conclude， it is quite justifiable for governments to allocate fund to arts even though some opponents who are short sighted and norrow-mined will complain the uselessness of arts. Governments should be visionary， believing their attention and assistance in arts will never be in vain.
