参考范文：
The flow chart shows the comparisons of three approaches of recruiting employees for a particular company.
The first method of finding a suitable person for the company is to publish announcements for relevant jobs. Qualified workers would be added to the shortlist, and then enter the next step of being interviewed by HR or managers. Those who are eligible could take the job in the end.
The second used method is to place recruitment advertisements in newspapers. Similarly, the names of suitable applicants could be seen on the shortlist, and these applicants are divided into two groups; the first would be interviewed directly while people in the second group would have to sit for an exam. As a result, candidates who pass the exam would get the job they want as well as those passed the interview.
Also, companies would use recruitment agencies for the staffing strategy. The agencies not only cooperate with headhunters, but also advertise the recruitment. The following steps are similar to the first method.
Overall, these three approaches are quite simple and similar in order to find qualified employees for the company, but the first one may save more time and money.

作文题目：Some people think that all young people should be required to stay in full-time education until they are at least 18 years old. To some extent do you agree or disagree.
题目类型：同意不同意型
题材类别：教育类
写作思路：
教育类话题是雅思写作常考话题，这次的题目讨论的是年轻人18岁前都应接受全日制教育，也就是每周超过12小时的义务教育。在英格兰，目前接受全天的义务教育的是5—17岁的孩子，但2015年开始就要延长到18岁。考生可以从这个政策的好坏分析，从学生-家庭-社会拓展思路。
近期考试趋势：今年的八次大陆的雅思考试中，出现了两次教育类话题，两次科技相关话题，四次社会类。接下来考试复习方向还是在教育类和社会类，但是不管怎样，熟悉了各话题相关的语料，就不会怕考场上出现什么题目啦。
写作指导：
第一段：背景转述，介绍个人观点
第二段：18岁前接受全日制教育的好处1 学生学业上，工作技巧上
第三段：对社会的好处
第四段：可能产生的问题：财政压力;个别学生会变得没有动力。但是，这些问题都可以解决
结论：接受全日制教育可以使学生和社会收益，任何能帮助学生的方面都应鼓励和支持。
参考范文：
It is generally acknowledged that many school- aged young adults miss out on full-time education. Thus some educationalists argue that students aged under 18 should receive compulsory full-time education. I agree with this statement.
There is no doubt that young adults who receive education (include schools and colleges) would benefit from this experience greatly, for they have more opportunities to improve their life prospects. If they have one or two more years of studying, they could access sufficient and effective provision and support. For example, they may learn how to put theory into practice, thus enhancing their practical work skills. As a result, it would make it easier for them to climb the career ladder in future work.
Besides, this may produce positive outcomes on society as a whole. As more young people could access provision and support in terms of education and jobs, the number of youth unemployment may be controlled and reduced. Evidences show that those who have A-levels education tend to earn more than those who drop out school earlier.
However, there are of course some potential issues. One main issue is the financial burden on families and individuals, since they have to pay more tuition fees. Another issue is that some students may become demotivated. The reason lies in the fact that they may want to pursue their dreams in other fields. However, these issues could be addressed strategically through the efforts of communities and schools.
In conclusion, I believe that anything which could enable young people to become economically and academically active and able members of society should be adopted.
