sst는 보통 중요한 얘기는 문단 첫줄에 나오는 경우가 많기에 중요 문장을 따다가 파라프래이징해서 씁니다. 템플릿은 글자수를 잡아먹어서 고득점엔 좋지 않은 것 같아요. 글자수에 상관없이 키워드가 들어갔다고 생각하면 그냥 끝내버려요. 그리고 개인적인 경험에 의하면 리스닝은 RS도 지대한 영향을 끼치는것 같아요.
저는 시험볼떄 항상 정신없어서.. 보고나서도 뭘 봤는지 기억도 안나네요 ㅠㅠ
SWT에서 제가 기억나는 건 오로지 엘고어 입니다 ㅋㅋ 최근 엘고어만 2번 연속으로 나왔었네요;;
This year's Nobel Peace Prize justly rewards the thousands of scientists of the United Nations Climate Change Panel the IPCC. These scientists are engaged in excellent, painstaking work that establishes exactly what the world should expect from climate change. The other award winner, former US Vice President Al Gore, has spent much more time telling us what to fear. While the IPCCs estimates and conclusions are grounded in careful study, Gore doesnt seem
to be similarly restrained. Gore told the world in his Academy Award-winning movie recently labeled "one sided" and containing scientific errors by a British judge to expect 20-foot sea-level rises over this century. He ignores the findings of his Nobel co-winners, the IPCC, who conclude that sea levels will rise between only a half foot and two feet over this century, with their best expectation being about one foot. Thats similar to what the world experienced over the past 150 years. Likewise, Gore agonizes over the accelerated melting of ice in Greenland and what it means for the planet, but overlooks the IPCCs conclusion that, if sustained, the current rate of melting would add just three inches to the sea level rise by the end of the century. Gore also takes no notice of research showing that Greenlands temperatures were higher in 1941 than they are today. Gore also frets about the future of polar bears. He claims they are drowning as their icy habitat disappears. However, the only scientific study showing any such thing indicates that four polar bears drowned because of a storm. The politician turned movie maker loses sleep over a predicted rise in heat related deaths. Theres another side of the story thats inconvenient to mention rising temperatures will reduce the number of cold spells, which are a much bigger killer than heat. The best study shows that by 2050, heat will claim 400,000 more lives, but 1.8 million fewer will die because of cold. Indeed, according to the first complete survey of the economic effects of climate change for the world, global warming will actually save lives.
In the past few decades Australia has taken more than a few faltering steps toward treating women with dignity and respect. Young women are being brought up knowing that they can do anything, as shown by inspiring role models in medicine such as 2003 Australian of the Year Professor Fiona Stanley.
In the 1960s and 70s, one of the first acts of the feminist movement was to picket beauty pageants on the premise that the industry promoted the view that it was acceptable to judge women on their appearance. Today many young Australian women are still profoundly uncomfortable with their body image, feeling under all kinds of pressures because they are judged by how they look.
Almost all of the pageant victors are wafer thin, reinforcing the message that thin equals beautiful. This ignores the fact that men and women come in all sizes and shapes. In a country where up to 60% of young women are on a diet at any one time and 70% of school girls say they want to lose weight, despite the fact that most have a normal BMI, such messages are profoundly hazardous to the mental health of young Australians.
