今天看了下12月6日的雅思作文考題，BBS里面好像開了鍋一樣，“變態(tài)”二字充斥著整個(gè)論壇，本人仿佛看見了許多考生的怨恨，無辜，憤怒和無奈。其實(shí)我覺得無辜的應(yīng)該是出這個(gè)題的人，先別著急拍磚，聽我給你講講再拍也不遲。
還有，對于那些懷疑今天寫偏題的同學(xué)，我提供一篇范文給你看看，這篇范文是隨便在網(wǎng)上找的，頂多6.5分，你看看你的作文和它的近似程度吧。
分析如下：
題目分析：題目很體貼！并配有解釋！
題目其實(shí)就是有關(guān)“死記硬背”學(xué)習(xí)形式的討論，只是許多同學(xué)被“by frequency repetition”給忽悠了，但如果你稍微注意一下緊跟其后括號里的解釋（rote learning),這個(gè)rote就是我們常說的“死記硬背”啊，在口語考試中，考官常說的：Don't rote everything, otherwise your score will be penalized（不要去死記硬背你的口語答案，否則你的分?jǐn)?shù)會被處罰的）。很多同學(xué)翻譯成“重復(fù)記憶”可以理解，但問題是此題配有解釋??！不認(rèn)識rote這個(gè)單詞是根源，證明你的詞匯量太低，而且對教育類的單詞不熟悉。如craming ：填鴨式教學(xué)。
寫作思路：客觀評價(jià)這種典型的學(xué)習(xí)方式，有用，但太機(jī)械化。還是應(yīng)該積極性思考和學(xué)習(xí)，及我們常說的think creatively and critically. 這句話是不是很眼熟啊。
安慰的話：說實(shí)話，大家不用太絕望，重復(fù)記憶不就是死記硬背嗎，重復(fù)＝死記，因?yàn)闆]有主動性的思考，所以這篇文章這樣寫的話，你不會偏的far away。再說，考官一看中國學(xué)生對rote的理解就都是這樣的話，法不責(zé)眾嘛。放心，不會有問題的！我自己想了下，如果按repetition這樣寫出來的話，跟rote差不多。主要看你的第二個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，及how to learn effectively and efficiently.

題目：
Memorization of information by frequency repetition(rote learning) plays a role in education system to what extend do you agree or disagree.
范文：
Learning is a complex process that involves different strategies and stages. As a key approach of learning, memorization of information by repetition contributesto the overall effectiveness of an education system. But we should also admit that rote learning has a number of limitations.
Learning by repetition is an effective strategy in learning. For example, Chinese people believe that one will get the gist of a book after reading it for a hundred times. Researchers have found that rote learning is particularlyuseful for young learners. When teaching children how to use a computer, instructors show them over and over again until they can perform tasks correctly. Moreover, for certain kinds of learning at early stage, the understanding involved is often minimal. Naturally rote learning assumes an important role.
However, we need to bear in mind that meaningful learning is more essential for our education system. When students grow older and enter higher grades, the scope and depth of their learning grow. Surely rote learning can help students learn knowledge by heart but it could do little to improve their analyzingability and creativity. There has been strong criticism that some schools overemphasize the importance of memorization of knowledge and produce students with great weaknesses in applying knowledge in practice. Solution for such problem could be that schools and students put in more effort into meaningful learning.
To conclude, learning is a complex progress and students employ different strategiesat various stages. Rote learning is important in education system, but meaningful learning is more critical for students in obtaining advanced ability and skills.
