新年第一道写作新题可谓是非常有趣，依旧是频率最高的教育类话题，但论述重点却在本地文化和世界文化的冲突上，一是考验描述文化的相关词汇，二是要求考生能根据题目要求将文化和学校教育有效关联起来，回到需不需要学的问题上：
It is more important for schoolchildren to learn the local culture than the world culture. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
首先来看一篇类似问题的考官满分范文，讨论学生是否只学对未来有用的学科，尽量从中提取通用的表达和句型：
Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard to what they can study at university. While some argue that it would be better for students to be forced into certain key subject areas, I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice.
There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future. They may assert that university courses like medicine, engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. From a personal perspective, it can be argued that these courses provide more job opportunities, career progression, better salaries, and therefore an improved quality of life for students who take them. On the societal level, by forcing people to choose particular university subjects, governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered. Finally, a focus on technology in higher education could lead to new inventions, economic growth, and greater future prosperity.
In spite of these arguments, I believe that university students should be free to choose their preferred areas of study. In my opinion, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what they are learning. Besides, nobody can really predict which areas of knowledge will be most useful to society in the future, and it may be that employers begin to value creative thinking skills above practical or technical skills. If this were the case, perhaps we would need more students of art, history and philosophy than of science or technology.
In conclusion, although it might seem sensible for universities to focus only on the most useful subjects, I personally prefer the current system in which people have the right to study whatever they like.

接下来我们用地道的学术方式提取一些和文化冲突相关的观点，注意积累其中的高分词汇：
1）Those whose education allows them to partake fully in the advantages of a globalized culture tend to have a positive attitude towards sharing of values as well as universal developments of technology.
接受国际文化教育的人会更积极地面对文化和技术的交流发展。
2) Culture is argued to be critically important to business success. With an outlook of how cultural elements varies worldwide, graduates can better support local companies or their own business to survive in a highly competitive global market.
接受国际文化教育的毕业生可以更好地帮助本地企业更好地在国际市场中生存。
3) It is argued that, under the ever greater impact of global culture invasion, traditional local cultures are either fading out among perceptions of the younger generation or being distorted by western cultural colonization, especially in the third world.
国际文化入侵第三世界国家导致本地文化在年轻一代里的缺失和误解。
4) Students are expected to learn and respect their local traditions and cultural heritage as a way to collectively identify themselves in the global community as well as to express themselves with unique ways of thinking and personal peace of mind.
学习和尊敬本土文化让学生找到自我定位，更好地表达自己。
接下来你需要做的就是把你觉得以上可以展开论证的观点替换到满分的结构和句式中去。结构上建议大家采取两边都重要平均用力的方法，论证难度会低一些，当然也可以选择考官的文风一边倒支持学习国际文化，同样可以成文。句式结构不一定要完全照搬例句，但是大量的仿写练习一定能帮住你在GA和CC上拿到更高的分数!
