大作文预测题目
本阶段考试中大作文的重点题目类型仍为：
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
与此同时，大家也要注意一下非常规的提问方式，
例如：Reports show that it is increasingly expensive to keep museums open to the public. Find the best ways to fund them (governments, business, or individuals).
类似本题的提问方式值得每个考生注意。
此外，由于十一月接连考了抽象类话题，所以十二月的话题大概率会回归常见话题类别，如教育类和社会发展类等。
