本期雅思锦囊推荐
(1)四种和“解决方案”有关的字
a quick fix
a cure-all
an antidote
a magic formula
(2)三个搭配“策略、方法、立场”的动词
动脑想一想如何应用到
“问题解决导向”的大作文里
相信会有一番收获

seeking a quick fix or a cheap alternative
seems to take priority over everything else.
令人忧心的方面是
寻求速效解法或廉价的替代方案
似乎优先于一切。

is not always a cure-all for
safeguarding the environment.

proved to be an antidote
to commuters' nightmare journeys to work.
整合式大众运输系统证实是
上班通勤梦魇之旅的解药。
四、
There is no magic formula
that will transform stereotypes
about elderly people
into a caring attitude towards them.
没有能把关于老年人的刻板印象
变成关心态度的魔术方程式。
五、制订策略：work out/formulate a strategy
The central government should formulate
a coherent strategy for dealing with
the problem of homelessness in major cities.

的一致性策略。
六、采行方法：adopt an approach

to fundamental reforms of the health service.

七、反映立场：reflect a stance
Existing legislation reflects a firm stance
on environmental issues.
现行法律反映了对环保问题的坚定立场。
最后推荐一个很重要的名词
虽译为“计画”，但比起plan更有针对特定问题来解决的含意
a government initiative to help homeless people
一个帮助无家可归人士的政府计画
