環(huán)保類(lèi)話題、考前一直要求同學(xué)們關(guān)注。 我的課上曾經(jīng)和學(xué)生講解過(guò)Amazon Rainforest被砍伐的話題，這里考生可以借鑒。

我之前的話題預(yù)測(cè)中提到過(guò)了環(huán)保類(lèi)，串講中要反復(fù)要求大家注意目前的幾大熱門(mén)話題：比如climate change; Endangered spices;請(qǐng)參考考前的話題和詞匯預(yù)測(cè)疑問(wèn)：

除個(gè)別詞匯有難度外，并沒(méi)有太多難度。本句重在筆記的邏輯性，需要用“箭頭推到”來(lái)引出各個(gè)成分。這個(gè)在我們新東方的課堂上已反復(fù)講過(guò)，我本人也在考前串講中說(shuō)。請(qǐng)參考考前的一片博文，極簡(jiǎn)的筆記：

http://blog.hjenglish.com/peixiaodong/articles/1539880.html

話題來(lái)源于《高口教程第三版》，串講前我也反復(fù)要求大家以教程為綱進(jìn)行復(fù)習(xí)。
