換題季的考試，如約而至。使烤鴨們略微感覺意外的是，在09月03日的考試中，又一個媒體類的話題躍然紙上。在今年的前八個月中，已然有過5個同話題的題目了。2016年雅思A類寫作的大小作文的命題趨勢，可以說是越來越畫風詭異了。儘管似乎傳統的出題規律在被摒棄，但是整體的出題範圍卻並沒有江湖傳言中的變化。縱觀前幾個月的所有題目，仍然是老題頻頻再現，新題寥寥無幾。
言歸正傳，這次考察的媒體題還是比較中規中矩的，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
是一個典型的雙邊討論的題目，因此在段落安排上，四段法應該是首選。
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，並無任何新意。本段分為兩句，其一為背景介紹，其目的就是為了順理成章地引出下文。次句，採用較為常見的並且非常常規的點題方式。分別將題幹中的`兩個觀點轉述出來。在首段中，筆者的個人觀點並沒有被表達。這一點難免會被部分烤鴨所詬病。茶餘飯後，建議考生們翻看一下劍橋雅思9，第163頁，一個考官寫的文章。其中，首段對個人觀點隻字未提。同一本書，翻到167頁，同樣是考官寫的文章，也在首段隱去了自身的觀點。
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，專心討論題幹中第一部分人的觀點。通過分論點的介紹和例證的方式來表達筆者對此觀點的支援。
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，相應地討論題幹中第二部分人的觀點。並且通過展開論點和例證的形式來得出結論。筆者對此觀點是持有否定態度的。
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.
結尾段分成兩部分，分別總結前文的兩個主段，以此重申了筆者的最終觀點。此文章中規中矩，並無新意。用詞不難，結構和邏輯較為清晰。由於筆者自身原因，個別句子結構繁複，望讀者諒解。同時誠心接受各位斧正。
最後奉上2016年已經考過的媒體類話題：
