9月雅思换题季的考试如约而至，使烤鸭们略微感觉意外的是，9月3日的考试中又一个媒体类的话题跃然纸上。在今年的前八个月中，已有过5个同话题的题目了。

　　2016年雅思A类写作的大小作文命题趋势可以说画风越来越诡异了，尽管似乎传统的出题规律被摒弃，但是整体的出题范围却并没有江湖传言中的变化。纵观前几个月所有题目仍然是老题频频再现，新题寥寥无几。

　　言归正传，这次考察的媒体题还是比较中规中矩的，如下：

　　Some people think that having many TV channels is good because it gives people a lot of choices. Other people think that it only results in a lot of poor quality TV programs. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 20160903

　　这是一个典型的双边讨论的题目，因此在段落安排上，四段法应该是首选。

　　No one can deny the irreplaceable position of television in people's lives in this present-day society. With a growing number of TV channels emerging in TV sets, optimists of this issue assert that TV programs will definitely bring them more enjoyment, whereas the pessimists suppose that an increasing number of low quality TV programs will be what people can only see by the screens of their living rooms.

　　首段，仍然是深深的套路，并无任何新意。本段分为两句，其一为背景介绍，其目的就是为了顺理成章地引出下文；次句采用较为常见的并且非常常规的点题方式。分别将题干中的两个观点转述出来。

　　在首段中，笔者的个人观点并没有被表达，这一点难免会被部分烤鸭所诟病。茶余饭后，建议考生们翻看一下剑桥雅思9 第163页，一个考官写的文章。其中，首段对个人观点只字未提。同一本书，翻到167页，同样是考官写的文章，也在首段隐去了自身的观点。

　　Not only can people gain relaxation from watching TV in their sofa, but also watching TV has been the most dominant method for people to access to necessary information. Some others even use TV sets to learn some skills or doing other things. Hence, more TV channels can offer more abundant information for various audiences. Sports channels will always be the first choice for sports fans, and meanwhile news channels are invariably ready for who want to know what is happening domestically and internationally. What people need to do is buying more TV sets for their family members to avoid them fighting over the remote control.  

　　主段一，专心讨论题干中第一部分人的观点，通过分论点的介绍和例证的方式来表达笔者对此观点的支持。

　　On the other hand, people with pessimistic views to this phenomenon would like to argue that more TV channels can only lead to the increase of low quality TV programs. Actually, more TV channels do provide audiences more choices, and thus arouse more competition in this industry. Producers of TV programs will rack their brain to find out attractive ideas to catch audiences' eyeballs. Simultaneously, companies making TV programs will be willing to invest more fund in order to produce competitive programs. By analogy, appearance of low quality TV programs is what those people mistakenly foresee. Competition is the original driving force for advancement of an industry.

　　主段二，相应地讨论题干中第二部分人的观点，并且通过展开论点和例证的形式来得出结论，笔者对此观点是持有否定态度的。

　　On the basis of the above discussion, unquestionably the populace do profit from watching a various variety of TV channels, and meanwhile what they can enjoy is TV programs that are much more splendid than before but not shoddy ones.  

　　结尾段分成两部分，分别总结前文的两个主段，以此重申了笔者的最终观点。此文章中规中矩，并无新意，用词不难，结构和逻辑较为清晰。由于笔者自身原因，个别句子结构繁复，望读者谅解，同时诚心接受各位斧正。

　　最后奉上2016年已经考过的媒体类话题：

　　There are many advertisements directed at children, such as snacks, toys and other goods. Parents argue that children are under pressure. Advertisers claim that the advertisements provide useful information. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 20160709
