说到媒体话题离不开一些常见的媒体种类，大家可以想一想：电视的利弊、网路的利弊、报刊的利弊、广告的利弊，国家对媒体的管控，说到这些，大家是否都能在脑海中想出对应的观点，并能用英文表达出来呢？来和我一起看一看媒体类考题的考点及词汇解决方案吧。
1.媒体类话题考点
我们首先来看一些媒体类常见考题的例子：
Detailed description of crimes on newspaper and TV can have bad consequences on society, so this kind of information should be restricted on media. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
关键词解读：媒体是否应被限制报道犯罪细节
Newspapers have an enormous influence in people’s opinions and ideas. Why and do you think it is positive or negative situation?
关键词解读：报纸的影响
News media has become more influential in our life nowadays. Some people think that it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
关键词解读：新闻媒体的利弊
各种各样的媒体在雅思写作中都会被考察到，但是其实这些媒体的特点是相通的，它们都可以传播信息，具有一定的娱乐性或教育性等。大橘为大家按照媒体的不同特点属性，进行了一下归类：
这些通用属性其实也是大家在考场上，拿到题目后可以进行想点的一些思路发散方向，比如我们上方题目举例中的道题：媒体是否应被限制报道犯罪细节。我们就可按照通用属性进行构思，得出一些点，如：
1）媒体是信息传播最广泛的方式，任何的人都可以通过媒体的报道了解到事件的起末，包括小孩子和有犯罪倾向的人，犯罪细节的报道对于他们很有可能产生不良影响。
2）有一些媒体可能会带有主观倾向或者是虚假报道，误导大众，对当事人产生不良影响。
如上，很多的题目大家都可以从通用属性上进行构思。
2.媒体类话题常见词汇
除了这些常见词组，咱们依然要背诵一些和媒体相关的collocation， native speakers 在讨论媒体话题时会用到哪些呢？咱们一起来看看吧~
1. the advertising slot

对于媒体的夸大，不符实报道的讨论，我推荐大家可以看一下剑桥雅思5Test1 Reading passage3 P25页上方的 A third source of confusion....这一段，对于媒体为什么要夸张报道，或者报道负面的解释写的特别好，还给了例子。尤其是：
“People are clearly more curious about bad news than good. Newspapers and broadcasters are there to provide what the public wants. That, however, can lead to significant distortions of perception. ”
这一小段，大家可以借用，分析的很到位，词用的也好。
那么政府要不要管控呢，我们就从好写的角度来说，那一定是‘要管’
为了将媒体的负面影响减到最小minimize the adverse effects of the media，应该加强严格的审查strict censorship should be implemented，
如严格限制暴力内容的传播access to violence should be controlled，
禁止孩子们进入网吧children should be barred from the access to the Internet Café。
学校应该在这方面加强引导和教育guidance and direction，
