2015年1月31日雅思写作考情点评：
本题来自保护野生动物和小动物实验的雅思题库。保护野生动物鸟类属于政府政策类话题，和小鹏哥押题政府给教育医疗买单有交集。例如，反对政府某项投资的理由都可以是政府的财政紧张，政府还有更加紧迫的问题要优先解决等。雅思写作热点话题为教育类，科技类，社会类，广告类，犯罪类，环保类，政府类。而二级重点为文化类，交通类，抽象类，建筑类，动物类，工作类。雅思出题的规则是各类型和提问角度循环考察，本题考察保护野生动物，角度较冷，写作较难，题目来自题库之保护野生动物之改写，只是简单加入了鸟类。本文写作头脑风暴难于遣词造句，即如何拓展保护野生动物鸟类的有说服力的例证和有趣味性的论据。小鹏哥本文支持保护野生动物鸟类，采取让步反驳的写法：首段亮明观点，二三段支持观点，四段让步原题观点的合理性再加以反驳，尾段总结观点，这样的布局在雅思
薛鹏点评：
作家立场：支持保护野生动物鸟类。
薛鹏思路拓展：
保护稀有动物和鸟类的理由：
1. 一些濒临灭绝的动物的消失会引起一些问题，例如，猫头鹰的数量减少会导致田鼠数量的增加，而田鼠是破坏庄稼的。同样，一些人的猎杀稀有动物的行为会破坏生物的多元性，进而，破坏生态平衡。
2. 人类很多伟大的发明创造可以归功于对于动物特征及习性的观察。观察鸟儿飞行，人类发明了飞机，观察青蛙游泳，人类发明了脚蹼，如果没有某些野生动物的存在, 人类的发明创造也会相应地受限制。
不在动物鸟类保护方面投入的理由：
1. 有人认为，野生动物的肉是美味营养的，人类应该享用，但是，我想反驳的是我们没有借口以满足食欲而猎杀无辜的稀有动物。
2. 有人认为，政府的财政应该解决更加重要的民生问题，但是，我想反驳的是只要政府合理分配财政预算，保护动物和解决民生不是矛盾的。

首段：背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场
Alarmingly, some improper human activities such as hunting rare animals or trapping some beneficial birds have been exerting a subtle impact on natural balance.

Likewise，wild animal trade，as a profit-making business，was once very active and even beyond control.
