A person’s worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions.Old-fashioned values,such as honour,kindness and trust,no longer seem important.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

翻译：如今，一个人的价值似乎是根据社会地位和物质财富来判断的。传统的价值观，如荣誉、仁慈和信任，似乎不再重要。

你在多大程度上同意或不同意这个观点？

话题：抽象类

类型：同意与否

解析：

还记得在电影《阿甘正传》中，阿甘在大学毕业后便应招入伍参军，

Uncle Sam wants you.在那时Serve the coutry是恒定个人价值的重要标准，

越南战场上的丹上校更是宁愿战死沙场也不想被阿甘救下屈辱回国。

人们愿意将自己的生命全权交托于为国而战的荣誉感上，即便这场战争也许并不高尚，

但在人们价值观的底层团结有爱忠诚为国奋战，却是最为高尚。（honour,trust,serve the country）

功成名就后阿甘投身于Shrimp Boat Business大赚了一笔，可他将这些钱大部分捐出，只身回到母亲的房子中，过着平静的生活。直到Jenny再次离他而去，阿甘开始了漫长的跨州长跑。途中很多人都自嗨式的跟随阿甘，问他是否在为女权运动，环境污染等而跑，人们相信他的奔跑一定有意义，而这意义一定很高尚，这意义不是挣钱，不是为名利，而是为了和平，平等，世界美好，那时人们的底层价值观中慈爱，友善，平等是恒定好与坏的标准。（kindness,equality）

历史在每一个人身上发生。一个时代的价值观是一个时代社会状况的提炼升华。阿甘就是那个时代的美国。历史很短，先天不足，却借由那一股子执着劲儿和各种机缘巧合实现了暴富，然而还在不知缘由的奔跑，因为迷茫。善良，执着，重情义，有信仰，愿意为国而战，内心无比纯净，这些阿甘身上的特质，就是那一年代，美国仍为主流的价值观(values）也就是社会和个人评定一个人价值的重要标准(a person’s worth)。

然而随着社会的发展与变革，人们对社会地位与物质财富的关注度不断提升。一座小屋，一亩田是普通人生。一座小屋，一亩田，一亿存款是成功人士。而一座小屋,一亩田,一亿存款且在行业内部极具影响力的大亨才是开挂人生。

对个人价值的评定标准似乎的确变成了social status和material possessions.看朋友driving a Lamborgini or carrying a Hermes bag可能会改变对其看法，但是如果他/她去热心帮助了迷路的路人可能并不会引起心中波澜。

有不少youtuber的爆红建立在自己的财富基础之上，share一个新买的几万包包的开箱，share一辆新买的豪车，house tour来带你观赏豪宅，而这些youtuber也会被很多人认定为成功人士。

虽然我们不能忽视这些人背后的努力，但大众的舆论导向的确倾向于因这些物质表现而评定成功与否。

虽然如此，但我们是否就可以断定traditional values比如respect others,being responsible,honesty and integrity已经被淡忘了呢？

其实不然，很多时候当雇主去挑选员工时，还是会看他们是否负责真诚（employers are still assessing their potential employees based their hard working attitude,positive behaviour and their integrity.）

商业人士在寻找合作伙伴时，还是会去看合伙人的可信赖度（Business people are still looking for business partners who are reliable,can be trusted,and dependable.）

父母还是在教育自己孩子这些传统的重要的价值观，因为他们坚信这对孩子的正向成长和未来发展至关重（Parents still believe it is important for them to educate their children about these positive values because they still play an essential part in the societies.）

因此我们看到社会价值观的确在变，但传统价值观并没有因此而失去重要性。而物质财富与社会地位的基础悄悄是建立在将这些价值观发挥利用之上不是吗？

范文分析：

Given the power and influence of the super rich,it might seem as if social status and material possessions are the new symbols of personal worth,but in everyday life I do not think this is true.

（开头段：背景引入+自己观点）

（句型：Given…..，Given是介词prep.（表示原因）考虑到;（表示假设）倘若,假定

此处使用为表原因，引导原因状语）

It is apparent that(形式主语)most celebrities today are admired or envied solely（adv.单独地；仅仅）for their material wealth or position in various social hierarchies（n.阶层，层级）.观点Many of these people are known to turn their backs on(词组：背弃，置之不理)friends,cheat on their spouses or spend their evenings over-indulging（indulge in sth/with sth沉浸于，沉迷于)in alcohol and/or drugs.展开：讲这些人真实状态Things like owning a mansion（豪宅）,driving an expensive car and getting into A-list parties are exalted（地位崇高的）above old-fashioned values.Ultimately,though,it is the many readers of gossip magazines and celebrity blogs who reinforce（vt.加强，加固）these ideas反驳:说明其实只是媒体炒作

（反方观点段：给出反方观点-展开反方观点-推翻反方观点）

Nevertheless,I do believe that in their day-to-day lives most people still believe in values such as honour,kindness and trust.观点In some way most of us want to form loving families,raise our children to be good citizens,stand up for the downtrodden（adj.被践踏的，被蹂躏的）and protect our communities from harm.We still form friendships,romances and business partnerships based on old-fashioned criteria.When our trust is abused or we are unfairly treated,we see that as a major violation of our relationship and we judge the wrongdoer（n.做坏事的人；违法犯罪者）accordingly.展开

（己方观点段：给出观点+展开论证）

In conclusion,I believe there is some truth to the notion that status and possessions have superseded（vt.取代，代替）old-fashioned values as a measure of a person’s worth.Looking beyond the tabloids（小报）,however,it is apparent that most ordinary people have still preserved an old-fashioned conscience.

（结尾段：重申立场）

Some people argue that job satisfaction is more important than job security,while others believe that they cannot always expect job satisfaction and a permanent job is more important.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

翻译：一些人认为工作满意度比工作保障更重要，而另一些人则认为不能总是对工作满意度报以期望，一份永 久性的工作更重要。

讨论这两种观点并给出自己的看法。

话题：社会类-求职工作

类型：讨论双边

关键词：job satisfaction，job security，a permanent job

解析：

本题是对工作满意度和工作稳定度的讨论。

其实就很像我们国内很多小伙伴挣扎是找体制里的工作还是找体制外更加自由，有挑战，但随时可能会被辞退的工作。

在国外，很多的员工现在也很跳，离职去寻找更加令自己满意的工作。2018年，英国Cygent Jobs公司对1001名英国人进行了调查，调查结果显示有57%的人会因为工作不满意，想要找到更满意的工作而离职。

这些表明会因工作满意度离职的人员中，33%想要一个回馈度更高的工作（a more rewarding job）,22%认为他们的努力工作没有得到应有的赏识(they didn’t feel their hard work was appreciated),还有18%认为他们的工作对世界没有影响力(they didn’t get a sense that the work they did actually having an impact on the world)…….

另外稳定且终身的工作很容易让人产生安逸感，除了自己工作范围内的职责不会太去探索新鲜的事物（holding down the same job for a long time does not develop the growth in one’s career prospect and even they are not aware of the new ideas,the latest technology of other organizations.）

即便如此，拥有一个长期性的工作对人们也是十分有益的（Having permanent jobs is very beneficial for people.）一个稳定长期的工作可以带给人们一种稳定感，可以让员工生活无忧（a permanent job makes a stable and carefree life as well as financial support to the employee.）

尤其是对一些有生活压力的人，如果过于追求满意的工作，可能会让他们失去稳定的收益，没有安全感，增加心理负担。

小编自己在体制内外都有工作过，在体制内时生活其实并不像大家想的那样轻松，简单，也是很辛苦的，一天从早忙到晚，但好处是，你做不完没做好，问题也不大，谁也不能拿你怎么样。

另外体制内的生活很像大家族，你的起居坐卧，家人朋友，婚姻状况，都会被同事和领导所关照……很安逸，很温馨，也辛苦，但是的确人容易松懈，容易局限眼光，还稍微有一点一眼望到头。当然如果你是一个很求上进的人，也可以自己发展培养自己的其他能力。

到体制外工作后，感觉每天都在接触新鲜的人，做有挑战的事情，同事老板都很有才也很拼命，你能看到自己努力得到肯定，但你不努力就会被降薪甚至辞退，压力很大，但很有趣，选择更多，眼界也因此放宽，但真的有时候收入会很不稳定，熬夜加班的时候也经常有。

所以job satisfaction，job security真的各有利弊，你当然可以兼得，如果你足够努力还有那么一点幸运。

另外这两者其实也有一定的关联性，如果你的工作太不稳定了，你的满意度也会下降的（Job satisfaction levels decrease when an employee feels threatened by a lack of job security.A worker is filled with feelings of discontent and uncertainty when his future at the company is uncertain,which leads to resentment.）

好啦，咱们一起来看一下今天的范文怎么说：

范文分析：

Some make the pragmatic argument（=practical reasons）that in an uncertain job market,security ought to（应该被）be valued over satisfaction.In my opinion,those with families cannot be reproached（=questioned）for this view but it is generally more important to enjoy your job and spread goodwill.(=make other people happy)

1.开头：话题引入+自己观点给出

2.大家有没有注意到，本篇文章的作者很会“设条件”比如：在uncertain job market中稳定度比满意度重要，对有家庭的人（with families）而言，他们这么想没问题-这样设定条件有两个好处：1.丰富了自己的写作素材2.更加严谨的逻辑更有说服力。

3.可以学习使用的句型：some make the pragmatic argument that…一些人给出非常现实的原因，论证…例如：Some make the pragmatic argument that without installing the required infrastructure for broadband internet in rural areas,online education can hardly replace traditional schooling.

Workers with dependents(名词：家属-有家属的员工)rightly value a consistent paycheck（=steady employment，稳定的工作，有稳定持续收益的工作）and benefits over all other factors.（意思为：有家庭的员工一般都认为工作能提供持续性收益最重要）观点If someone is just starting out（=beginning）in a labour of love（something you have passion for–一份自己喜爱的工作）such as becoming an artist,they may struggle initially to bring home enough money to make ends meet（earn just enough）every month.举例They might not be able to send their children to good schools,live in a good neighborhood,and keep everyone in the house reasonably well clothed and fed（确保每个人的温饱）.为例子提供更多细节支撑Even if they can manage that,it will place incredible mental stress（place incredible stress on=put a lot of pressure on-给予巨大压力）on not only them but also their spouse and children.Research has shown these deeply ingrained anxieties（心理压力焦虑，心灵创伤=psychological trauma）from childhood can persist throughout adulthood.陈述更多的后果，对后果进行延伸

（主体1段：论证有家庭的人如果过于关注job satisfaction会造成的后果-主要论证的为对家庭的不良影响，值得学些的点是论证的非常充分）

It is nonetheless more important to pursue a job that is fulfilling.观点The vast majority of the world dislikes their job and a large percentage of these people have difficulty reconciling（=make consistent调节，应对）their frustrations with their day-to-day temperament（就是daily mood-每天的心情的替换性说法）.解释An unhappy employee is more likely to be short（注意这里不是短缺的意思，是rude，angry with的意思，指不开心的员工更容易和同事生气，抱怨朋友等）with co-workers,complain to friends,and resent（动词：怨恨，埋怨）their family for the burden they must shoulder for their welfare.举例More of this persons daily interactions will be negative and this adds up over years to create the greatest global repository of ill will（=stores up a lot of hostility可以理解为”怨气堆积”…哈哈，意思就是这些员工每天都不高兴，每一天和周边人的交流都很负能量，日复一日就会令这个人充满怨恨，对社会的不满以及对生活的无望）.例子展开Free up（=allow for-允许这些人释放自己，做自己想做的工作）the same person to enjoy their job and there is a strong chance they will suddenly brighten the days of those around them.结果

（主体2段写，忽视job satisfaction的弊端，和上一段一样，这一段进行了非常详尽的展开。开头一句topic sentence，后面很详细的描述了人如果一直从事不喜欢的工作会出现的心理问题及后果，最后一句很精彩的一反转，说出，如果让他们做喜欢做的工作这些问题就迎刃而解了）

Overall,fomenting good humour（=creating happy interactions）is more important and only in very rare family situations should an individual persist in a job for its stability.Many recognise this once it is too late and they already have an expensive lifestyle to maintain(costs a lot for rent,expenses,很多人有租金，房贷啊等等)or their best working years are behind them.

（结尾段：第 一句总结上文，做喜欢工作的重要性和有家庭的时候的特殊性。第二句是一个延伸感叹，很多人都意识到的太晚了，意识到时已经身负重压了）

这篇文章高分有两个要素

1.展开的真的很具体，很到位，把一个事情掰开揉碎了说，采取的是考官们很喜欢的：观点-解释-举例-展开的结构。值得仿写-大家可以分析他每一句的作用，然后仿照文章的逻辑自己写一个段落进行论证

2.词汇：词汇有优势，里面是使用了很多地道的词伙，我在文中标黑的部分，尤其是划了横线的部分大家记下来背诵一下。

The crime rate nowadays is decreasing compared to the past due to advances in technology.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

翻译：由于技术的进步，现在的犯罪率比过去有所下降。你在多大程度上同意或不同意？

话题：犯罪类

类型：同意与否

分析：

大家看这个题干本身是一个因果关系：The crime rate nowadays is decreasing compared to the past due to advances in technology.原因是科技进步，现在社会中先进的科技，结果是犯罪率和过去相比有所下降。我们需要在文中表达出是否同意犯罪率降低是由科技进步带来的。

如果同意，则需要说一说科技为什么可以降低犯罪率，可以举一些例子。如果不同意，则需要说明科技可能有一些作用，但真正帮助降低犯罪率的其实是xx（比如教育）。

估计有同学会想，这科技和犯罪率有什么关系呢？

不知道大家有没有听说过CSS课堂呵护系统。

这是一套通过采集学生信息并加以处理后辨识出学生上课状态的软件。任何走神，打瞌睡，小动作都会由系统迅速通过表情及行为捕捉到做出判定。这些上课状态的信息最后会被总结好，推送给家长及老师。正可谓是校园版的“犯罪测量”。

这可以说是科技在甄别人类行为，动机方面的初步使用。而实际上，科技预测犯罪的系统已经被人类开发利用。

IBM等公司都在积极研发此类产品，而最负盛名的当属PredPol了，目前覆盖了美国上百个地区警局的PredPol，其原理即对以前的犯罪率曲线，和不断发生变化的犯罪时间，地点等数据进行大数据分析。因此推算出哪个街区犯罪事件高发、哪条街道抢劫事件较多、哪个时间段城市比较危险。

警署则可以通过这些提示性信息来规划调整巡逻时间及路线，更加科学合理的防控。

(aids in the sharing of information at a rapid pace-enabled state authorities to track the offenders and maintain the law and order)

除此之外，我们可以看到安装了很多摄像头(surveillance cameras重点单词背诵下来)的城市，治安都会好一些，因为知道自己在被监督时，人们就会比较自律。

（If people are aware of being monitored,not only will they obey the rules but also refuse to get involved in such crimes.）

当然，犯罪率的下降，绝不能完全归功于科技。政府政策的变化也会带来一些效果，比如加大警力（introduce more police forces，注意此处动词使用，用的是introduce，everywhere to monitor people’s activities and stop them from committing crimes）。或者是对罪犯进行更严格的处罚（Strict punishments on criminals can have really preventive and deterrent effects on all age groups in society.）

分析到这里相信大家多少有些思路了，咱们来一起看一下今天的精选范文

范文分析：

It is often argued that global declines(此处指数量下降)in crime are principally down to(好词组，请看文后词汇解释)developments in technology.While advanced technology admittedly plays an integral（adj必不可少的）role in crime reduction,I would argue education hits more directly at the cause of crime.

（开头段：背景引入+引出下文）

（注意：下一个段落中，紫色的词汇不必掌握，理解即可）

The biggest argument in favour of technology’s impact is the advent of forensic（法庭的；与法庭有关的；用于法庭的）science.In the past,forensics was an unreliable soft science that included notoriously(众所周知地，恶名昭彰地)mistake prone（adj倾向，倾向于）practices（此处的意思为：众所周知，过去的“法庭科学”容易出错，在应用过程中出现过多次错误）such as a dental identification and blood splatter（血迹）analysis.Over the last couple of decades it has grown into a much more accurate tool.Courts now rely heavily on DNA testing,which is nearly 100%conclusive（好词，见文后词汇解释）in most cases.This has had a two-fold effect,allowing prosecutors(n.检查官）to reopen and investigate cold cases as well as better prosecute and deter current criminals.

（主体1段：这一段是在论证科技在犯罪率降低中发挥的作用，以在侦案中的使用为例子，对例子进行了展开论证，使用了今昔对比。

大家看我标黄色的部分，为今昔对比的词汇及需要注意的时态点，前面是过去时，后面是现在完成时过度到一般现在时，科技类考题常用今昔对比，大家在书写今昔对比时可以进行仿照。

这一段同样例子展开的比较充分，论据细节处理比较好，

但实际上我认为大家考场上写出一样或类似的例子比较难，因为他使用的法庭技术对应的词汇都比较不常见，很难说备考的时候背到这些词，考场上还能想到用出来，所以我们实际一点，大家不必纠结于这一段中的词汇使用，我在段落中帮大家标紫了，紫色的词汇不必掌握。大家在自己书写时可以换成其他的例子，比如我们前面学到的监控器等，也同样可以写的很精彩。

然而本段还是很重要，因为大家需要学习巩固2点：1.今昔对比2.例子的具体展开方式：给出例子-分析例子-指出后果/结果）

However,education still more powerfully underpins（serves as the basis for）decreases in crime because it does more to eradicate（好词，见文后词汇解释）poverty.Poverty is far and away the chief cause of(…的主要原因)crime.Take for example a country such as China,which has developed rapidly in the last 30 years,elevating（=lifting）millions formerly below the poverty line.Their economic rise has been followed by better educational standards which has trickled down into better employment opportunities for graduates.The crime rate in China has plummeted（decreased greatly大幅下降）simply because far fewer people have the basic motivation,poverty,to commit crimes.

（主体2段：除了科技以外的其他因素-主要讲教育的影响。逻辑是教育减少贫困，贫困问题得到解决，犯罪率降低。举了中国的例子。

我们分解一下这一段举例子的方式：Take for example a country such as China给出例子,which has developed rapidly in the last 30 years,elevating millions formerly below the poverty line结合论点.Their economic rise has been followed by better educational standards which has trickled down into better employment opportunities for graduates解释例子.The crime rate in China has plummeted simply because far fewer people have the basic motivation,poverty,to commit crimes.结合论点指出结果我们看这两个主体段其实在做论证时采取的是同一个结构：结合论点给出例子+结合论点分析例子+结合论点给出结果这样的结构可以帮助将例子分析透彻，避免了评分标准中所说的overgeneralization，值得借鉴学习。）

In conclusion,the impact of technology is negligible（little impact/meaningless）next to educational reform,which undermines the deepest roots of crime.Forward-looking countries that prioritise（动词：给予优先权）education will also reap benefits（get advantages from获取到好处）that extend well beyond(not limited to绝不仅仅局限于犯罪率降低，还会收获其它的好处)the crime rate.

好词：

1.be down to:If something is down to something else,the second thing is the cause of the first.表达因果的好词，A is down to B.A归因于B，B是A的原因，比如此文中即为：declines in crime are down to developments in technology,犯罪率下降应归因于科技发展

2.Conclusive:形容词，proving sth,and allowing no doubt or confusion结论性的；不容置疑的；确凿的（conclusive evidence/proof/results）-

同义词：decisive反义词：inconclusive

常见搭配：

动词：appear/be/seem+conclusive

副词：absolutely/fairly/+conclusive

by no means/far from/harly+conclusive

3.Eradicate：动词：sth(from sth)to destroy or get rid of sth completely,especially sth bad根除；消灭；杜绝

同义词：eliminate

搭配：

副词：completely/entirely/successfully

动词：try to/help tp/be impossible to+eradicate

介词：eradicate from

词组：an attempt/effort to eradicate sth

好句式：

1.It is often argued that

2.The biggest argument in favour of xxx is xxx

3.Xxx that prioritise xxx will also reap benefits that extend well beyond xxx.

例句：

Countries that prioritise developing economy will reap benefits that extend well beyond earning money.

Genetic engineering is an important issue in society today.Some people think that it will improve people’s lives in many ways.Others feel that it may be a threat to life on earth.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

翻译：基因工程是当今社会的一个重要议题。有些人认为它会在很多方面改善人们的生活。其他人认为基因工程会对地球生物产生威胁。讨论这两种观点并给出自己的看法。

话题：社会类

类型：双边讨论

解析：

这个题目有两个难点：

1.基因工程是什么？

2.好处要讨论对提升人类生活的好处，注意小范围

我们先来看基因工程是什么：

Genetic engineering,also called Genetic modification or Genetic manipulation,is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology.

-Wikipedia

咱们看上面这句维基百科中的定义，给了我们两个基因工程的同意替换词Genetic modification,Genetic manipulation，大家首先先记下来，文中可以进行替换。

另外我们看结尾给出了一个单词biotechnology，生物技术，生物工程，这个词我们也可以在文中进行利用，比如可以在开头使用，说Thanks to the development of biotechnology,…….

It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells,including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.

-Wikipedia

这句是对基因工程的具体定义，它是一套用于改变细胞基因构成的技术，目的是改良或制造新的生物体，比如克隆羊，克隆人等。理解到这就够我们写文章的了……(以小编的生物知识，也只能理解到这儿了，啊哈哈哈，生物大佬，理科大佬们可以继续挖深研究)。

这句解释中，genetic makeup of cells属于垂直领域词汇，大家记下来，写在文章里，词汇会加分。

而novel这个词很多同学认识它都是作为名词小说，但其形容词意思‘新颖的；与众不同的；珍奇的’使用也非常广泛，在雅思阅读中出现过多次。推荐大家使用的一个词组为a novel way of doing sth.做某事的一种新的方式/新奇的方式。

那么谁来从事基因工程的工作呢？这篇作文中会用到的‘人’如何表达：

Genetic engineers are technically not engineers,but are referred to as such because of their ability to rework the structures of DNA.They generally work for pharmaceutical companies or other private corporations,working toward projects that serve several purposes,such as regulating animal breeding or treating genetic illnesses in humans.

我们看到基因工程师叫做Genetic engineers,他们在pharmaceutical companies制药公司工作，工作的任务可以帮助regulating animal breeding调节动物繁殖或者treating genetic illnesses in humans治疗人类基因疾病。怪不得，人们回去讨论基因工程对提升人类生活的好处，因为其可以治疗基因方面的疾病，而这些疾病通过普通的治疗方式往往效果不佳。

好那么我们具体来看一下，基因工程还有什么好处和弊端呢？

Pros：

1.Tackling and Defeating Diseases

Some of the most deadly and difficult diseases in the world,that have so resisted destruction,could be wiped out by the use of genetic engineering.

例子：

For instance,Cystic Fibrosis,a progressive and dangerous disease for which there is no known cure,could be completely cured with the help of selective genetic engineering.

2.Getting Rid of All Illnesses in Young and Unborn Children

All children would be able to be born healthy and strong with no diseases or illnesses present at birth.Genetic engineering can also be used to help people who risk passing on terribly degenerative diseases to their children.

3.Potential to Live Longer

With genetic engineering,we could reverse some of the most basic reasons for the body’s natural decline on a cellular level,drastically improving both the span of our lives and the quality of life later on.It could also help humans adapt to the growing problems of,for instance,global warming in the world.

基因工程好厉害呀，是不是也能改变我基因让我吃啥都不胖呢

Cons：

1.May Lead to Genetic Defects

Scientists do not yet know absolutely everything about the way that the human body works.What if we manage to wipe out one disease only to introduce something brand new and even more dangerous?Additionally,if scientists genetically engineer babies still in the womb,there is a very real and present danger that this could lead to complications,including miscarriage(early on),premature birth or even stillbirth,all of which are unthinkable.

2.Limits Genetic Diversity

We need diversity in all species of animals.By genetically engineering our species,however,we will be having a detrimental effect on our genetic diversity in the same way as something like cloning would.

范文分析：

It is true that genetic engineering is a key area of modern scientific research,with broad implications for all human societies.Although I accept that this field of technology may have its dangers,I believe that the benefits of genetic engineering outweigh the drawbacks.

（开头段-经典两句话，背景引入+给出观点。你看他还是形式主语背景引入+让步状语表达观点-总是读我们范文的小伙伴，对于这种开头方式一定不陌生了，记得自己实践应用哦）

The negative implications of genetic engineering are often discussed in terms of two key areas,which are food productionand the cloning of humans.Genetically modified crops are already being grown,and people are concerned that they may damage whole ecosystems as foods become resistant to diseases and natural predators.But perhaps even more worrying isthe possibility that humans could be modified or cloned.Some people imagine a world in which cloned humans are used to fight wars or to provide body part replacements.Although perhaps not a threat to life on earth,the implications of such practices would be unprecedented(adj.空前的)

(主体1段：写弊端，结构为：观点+展开，观点中包含了两个小点，后面分别对两个小点进行了具体的阐述，结构十分工整。句型上面，大家可以学习：The negative implications of xxxx are often discussed in terms of two key areas,which are与弊端体现在的方面1 and方面2.方面1展开.But perhaps even more worrying is方面2+展开)

A more optimistic prediction,and one that I favour,is that humans will find ways to mitigate the risks(减轻风险，规避风险)and use genetic technologies in a responsible way.From the food production perspective,genetic engineering could be the solution to famine(n.饥荒；饥饿)in developing countries,if,for instance,crops can be grown more reliably in harsh conditions（好修饰：严酷的环境，恶劣的环境）.From a medical perspective,scientists may use genetic engineering to produce vaccines,to cure diseases,or to correct a genetic defect before a child is born.If properly regulated,even cloning can be done in a way that improves lives.For example,the cloning of individual organs,such as a heart or kidney（肾脏）,could be permitted for transplant（动词/名词：移植）purposes.

（主体2段：写上述弊端可以被减轻或规避，于此同时还可以带来好处。上下两段这样呼应着写有助于提高评分标准中‘连贯与衔接’这一项的分数）

In conclusion,I am convinced that genetic engineering will have a positive impact on our lives,and that people's fears will be unwarranted（形容词：无根据的，不必要的）.

（非常简洁的结尾段，总结收束上文）

今天小编为大家带来精心挑选的考官Simon 9分范文一篇，快来和我一起品读学习吧：

In some countries,many more people are choosing to live alone nowadays than in the past.Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

In recent years it has become far more normal for people to live alone,particularly in large cities in the developed world(句型：In recent years it has become far more normal for…to do…,particularly……).In my opinion,this trend could have both positive and negative consequences in equal measure（观点:积极消极参半-in equal measure）.

The rise in one-person households（词汇）can be seen as positive for both personal（角度1）and broader economic（角度2）reasons.（非常好的主题句，给出了优点的两个角度，可借鉴）On an individual level（引出第 一个角度）,people who choose to live alone may become more independent and self-reliant（词汇）than those who live with family members.（观点句－比较级）A young adult who lives alone,for example,（举例做插入放中间）will need to learn to cook,clean,pay bills and manage his or her budget,all of which are valuable life skills;an increase in the number of such individuals can certainly be seen as a positive development.From an economic perspective（引出第二个角度）,the trend towards living alone（the trend toward doing something-词汇）will result in greater demand for housing.This is likely to benefit the construction industry,estate agents（给出具体例子）and a whole host of other companies that rely on homeowners to buy their products or services.

However,the personal and economic arguments given above can be considered from the opposite angle（句型：However,….can be considered from the opposite angle）.Firstly,rather than(反角度1）the positive feeling of increased independence,people who live alone may experience feelings of loneliness,isolation and worry.They miss out on the emotional support and daily conversation that family or flatmates can provide,and they must bear the weight of(词汇)all household bills and responsibilities;in this sense,perhaps the trend towards living alone is a negative one.Secondly,from the financial point of view（反角度2）,a rise in demand for housing is likely to push up property（词汇：财产）prices and rents.While this may benefit some businesses（关联上一段）,the general population,including those who live alone,will be faced with rising living costs.

In conclusion,the increase in one-person households will have both beneficial and detrimental effects on individuals and on the economy.

不得不说，此文无论是从词汇，句型，论证内容还是逻辑上都非常出彩，有心的小伙伴们甚至可以将这篇文章进行背诵及仿写。时间不够的考生们也不用担心，至少我们可以提炼一下本文的结构进行背诵：

In recent years it has become far more normal for…to do…,particularly…In my opinion,this trend could have both positive and negative consequences in equal measure.

The rise in…can be seen as positive for both角度1 and角度2.Regarding角度1,观点-解释-举例From a…perspective（角度2）,the trend towards…will result in…观点-展开

However,the角度1 and角度2 given above can be considered from the opposite.Firstly,rather than(反角度1）…Secondly,from the…point of view（反角度2）……

In conclusion,the increase in…will have both beneficial and detrimental effects on角度1 and on角度2.

In recent times,many people are making the decision to live alone.

What are the causes of this?

Does it have positive or negatives effects on society?

翻译：在近些年，很多人选择独居。这种现象的原因是什么？这会对社会产生负面影响还是正面影响？

话题:社会类

类型：报告类

关键词：living alone,cause,effect,society

分析：这个社会现象太真实了，先给大家上组数据：

o In the 1950’s,22%of American adults were single,and 4 million lived alone.In 2012,more than 50%of American adults were single,and 31 million lived alone.

o In Stockholm(2012)60%of all households had just 1 occupant.

可能大家会说，这是西方思想追求个人精神独立的体现，在中国不会这样。那么中国的数据又如何呢？

o Today,more than 60 million of Chinese live alone.One-person household is the fasted growing household type in China and is expected to increase dramatically due to rapid urbanization,migration,aging and changing demographic behaviors.

社科院人口与劳动经济研究所提供的普查数据显示，中国近年来“一人户”家庭数量显著提升，独居人口从90年的6%上升到2010年的14%，到2015年的14.6%。

那么为什么这么多人会选择独居呢？The number of people living alone has skyrocketed.What is driving the phenomenon?

上方中国独居人数数据中提到......due to rapid urbanization,migration,aging and changing demographic behaviors.

城市化的快速发展、人口从rural areas向大城市聚集、老龄化加剧等等都是独居人数及比重上升的重要原因。

除上述原因之外，很多年轻人选择独居因为可以拥有更多的privacy and personal space。

常年累月在群体中生活，感到非常的超负荷（become so overloaded），而独居一段时间，可以重拾平静，帮助缓解压力（The peace,quiet and mental solitude can help them recover from the stresses of daily living.There is plenty of time to think without interruptions.）

另外和别人共同生活难免要互相磨合作息及时间安排。

而独自生活，则不需要考虑这些。（You don’t need to compromise.You don’t need to fit into anyone else’s timetable.Things remain where you leave them.You just do what works for you.）

那么独居热潮会产生什么影响呢？

首先请大家想想，如果写loneliness and the horrors of getting sick or dying alone这样的观点，对于这个题目而言是否可以呢？

只写这些观点是不可以的，因为题目中明确的写了对“社会”的影响，而不是“个人”，只写“个人”会偏题。

如果大家想写上面loneliness这几个点做影响的话，需要将其延伸到社会层面，比如指出，如果越来越多的人有这些问题，会增加社会不稳定因素，increase the crime rate等等。

还有一个推荐大家写的非常好很新颖的观点：

Young and middle-aged solos have helped to revitalise cities,because they are more likely to spend money,socialise and participate in public life.

因为是独居，所以社交活动等都向外迁移，人们会愿意花更多的钱、时间去公共场合进行必要社交活动。

好啦，我们来看范文。

范文分析：

There has been a tendency in many countries over recent years for more people of all ages to choose to live alone.This essay will discuss the reasons for this and explain why this can have both advantages and disadvantages for society.

(报告类题目开头段可对此进行仿写：There has been a tendency+题目事件.This essay will discuss+引出下文)

One reason for this trend is economic.People are generally more affluent than in the past,and this means that they can afford to make the choice to live alone,something not always possible in the past.In addition to this,there are also cultural factors.There used to be more pressure to marry young and think about having a family.Now though,people desire self-fulfilment,and will marry later or divorce if their marriage is not happy.Also,the developments in communication technology such as social media mean that people can live alone but still feel connected to others.

（作者本段给出了三条原因，前两条进行了具体的解释及今昔对比）

I would argue that this development has positive and negative impacts on society.A positive impact is that those individuals who are young and single have helped to revitalise（动词-to make something more active or exciting使有活力，使新生）cities around the world,as they are more likely to live in central locations and socialise,spend money and participate in public life than those living with others.However,a drawback is that some people living alone who experience problems may not have an outlet（a way for someone to express an emotion,idea,or ability）to talk about them.This lack of social support could lead to more mental health problems in the general population,which would need to be dealt with by public health care services.

（题目问，是有积极还是消极，你可以说积极，也可以说消极，也可以像本文一样中立。请注意看作者的第二条影响，其实就是从个人上升到社会了，个人出现了这样的问题，需要public health care services来解决。）

To conclude,economic and cultural factors,and changes in communication have resulted in more people living alone,and,although this has benefits to society,there are also negative impacts.

（结尾：总结前文，把上面提到的观点用抽象词汇进行总结）

本文值得学习借鉴的地方：

大家仔细看本文给出的3条独居理由：

1.经济水平的提升

The wealth generated by economic development and the social security provided by modern welfare states have enabled the spike.

2.社会文化促使-独居狂潮

In addition to economic prosperity,the rise stems from the cultural change called the cult of the individual.

3.交流方式的巨大变革

Another driving force is the communications revolution,which has allowed people to experience the pleasures of social life even when they're living alone.

这三条理由都不是从个人角度说的，而是从社会角度说的，从社会大层面去分析独居的原因。

这一点很值得学习。在进行构思想点时，很多同学都会思路受限，往往会不自觉的从个人角度出发进行思考，而没有学会切换角度。

大家可以学会通过思考题目的“相关主体”是谁，比如教育类的-相关主体就是-学生，家长，同学，老师，学校；社会类的相关主体就是-个人社会国家-利用相关主体快速发散思路，从不同角度去发散进行想点。

这样做不仅可以帮助你加快想点的速度，还可以让你的文章摆脱“小学生感”，因为你的观点不在停留在个人生活，而是更加像一篇社论，加入了社会层面，国家层面，他人角度等等的观点。

学后反思：

我写的文章中，观点是否存在角度单一的现象？

我构思时，是否从多角度思考问题？

These days,many people have their own computer and telephone,so it is quite easy for them to do their job at home.

Does working at home have more advantages or more disadvantages?

翻译：现如今，很多人有自己的电脑和手机，所以在家办公变得很简单。在家办公的好处是否大于弊端？

话题：科技类

类型：利弊分析

分析：

试想，清晨起床，洗漱完毕，吃好早餐，整装待发的你拿起公文包，准备出发。

走出卧室，穿过客厅，你来到了自己的办公场所-家里的书房；放下公文包，你拉开了自己的办公椅-一个你刚刚给自己换置的可躺可调高沙发椅，一把懂你的椅子。

忙了一上午，午餐时间到了，走出办公场所，厨房里的饭菜香味就飘来了，没有地沟油，没有塑料盒，营养丰盛而健康。

下午和同事进行视频会议，老板提到了一个新名词问大家，你昨晚没有好好准备一脸茫然，赶紧掏出了手机查一下，有惊无险，如果在办公室这种小动作可没法做

工作顺利完成了，收拾收拾，整理好公文包，你关上灯，心满意足的走出办公场所，一抬头，看到了正在客厅看电视的家人。

Jobs that let you work from home,an arrangement known as telecommuting,are all the rage these days.很多人为每日拥挤冗长的通勤路烦恼，为紧张复杂的办公室关系困扰。They would even be willing to take a pay cut in order to work from home.这样他们可有避免花时间在通勤上avoid a commute,减少压力less stress，并拥有更好的work-life balance,更高的productivity,更加independent。

然而小编我并不认为working from home是件很爽的事情。When you don’t have that separation of going to and from the office,your workday kind of blurs together into your home life.如果工作和生活的空间不能有效隔离，工作生活混淆，于我而言会致使工作效率低，放松时也会紧张会思考工作。

另外和同事相处，在休息时闲聊几句，有问题的时候和同事谈谈，其实也可以帮助提高工作效率，有时和同事进行的头脑风暴会大大帮助你工作顺利进行，而这些在家真的很难操作。Whether it’s picking up on the best practices of your colleagues or having an impromptu brainstorming session over lunch,it’s hard to replicate that from home.

更何况在家办公会受到科技发展、信息平台的制约，很有可能有些你工作急需的数据为了保证隐私只能用公司网络登录，而家庭网络会是受到阻拦data security or consumer protection concerns might prevent telecommuters from having full access.

好啦，你怎么看呢，你更喜欢在家办公还是办公室办公呢？

咱们一起看看今天的范文怎么说

范文分析：

In the present age it is common for people to work from home because of advances in technology.On balance,I would argue that this has more negative impacts than positive.

（开头段：引入话题+个人观点，简洁明了，个人观点清晰）

One advantage of working from home is the freedom it provides（观点）.Home workers can organise their work around their home life as they can stop or start work as they please（解释）,and thus if,for example,they have children,they can easily arrange to take them and pick them up from school.They can also undertake（动词：承担，从事，常见搭配：undertake a task/project）any other tasks that they need to do during the day,such as doing the laundry or shopping,and then finish work later（举例）.Overall then,employees have more control over their lives（总结）.

（好处段：更自由，可以更好的掌控生活）

Despite these positive factors,however,there are a number of disadvantages.The first of these is the fact that those who work at home nearly all the time will not be mixing with colleagues.When people are at work,they are always surrounded by others,but at home,an employee is likely to be alone most the time.This may lead to feelings of loneliness due to a lack of interaction（名词：互动，交流）.

（弊端1：缺乏交流，孤单）

Another drawback is the fact that one may have less influence in the company.It is often the case that important decisions arise on the spur of the moment（习语：一时冲动之下，心血来潮）as unexpected issues arise.If an employee is not there,others may have to step in.If this occurs on a regular basis,the employees contribution to the company may decline,meaning a higher probability of getting overlooked（动词：忽视；提拔等对某人不予考虑）for things such as promotion.

（弊端2：影响在公司的存在感）

In conclusion,although there are positives and negatives related to working from home,there are more negative impacts.Employees should therefore consider carefully whether working from home is the best choice.

（结尾：总结全文）

本文没有较难的词汇，但是全文流畅通顺，评分标准中连贯一致Coherence and Cohesion这一项做的非常好。

整体而言，作者的观点是弊大于利，因此在文章布局时采取了一段优点，两段缺点的写法，既将优缺点都有效探讨到，又突出了缺点。段落布局与开头结尾观点相一致

段落之间：每段开头都有明确的主题句（下划线标出的部分），在写完优点后，弊端第 一段用了Despite these positive factors开头，承上启下。第二个弊端段开头更是用了Another drawback is…开头，和上一段相呼应，段间逻辑十分清晰。

主体段句子之间的整体逻辑为-观点，解释，举例。步步深入，每一个观点都得到了充分展开。

除了连贯一致的亮点外，文章中标阴影的部分为地道的词伙使用。不是有多生僻少见，而是使用有多natural，背诵这些词汇可以帮助改善生硬的表达，改善自己按中文思路拼凑出来表达而考官读不懂或读起来很奇怪的现象。

题目：

Some people believe that developments in the field of artificial intelligence will have a positive impact on our lives in the near future.Others,by contrast,are worried that we are not prepared for a world in which computers are more intelligent than humans.Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.

翻译：有人认为，在不久的将来，人工智能领域的发展将对我们的生活产生积极影响。而另外一些人则认为我们并没有为此做好准备。讨论双边的观点，并给出自己的看法。

话题：科技类

类型：双边讨论

关键词：artificial intelligence,lives in the near future,not prepared

解析：

说到人工智能（AI）对于很多人而言，最熟悉的应该就是呆萌小助手‘Siri’啦，当然还有Bixby，小爱同学等等，既可以陪你聊天，又可以查天气，设闹钟。虽然有时候还是有点不听话或是喜欢‘装傻’，但也的确为我们的生活增添了不少便利。

在DeepMind,英伟达等大公司看中AI的巨大前景，轰轰烈烈的开展研究时，大众对于人工智能的认识却并不深，往往停留在语音助手，智能客服上面。

直到一个又一个令人震惊的新闻出现在媒体报道中，DeepMind的人工智能机器人AlphaGo通过对百万盘真人对战棋局的研究，以4：1的成绩击败了世界围棋冠 军李世石。(大家可以用作举例论证：AlphaGo is an AI developed by Google-owned British company DeepMind,and had already wrapped up a historic victory on Saturday by becoming the first ever computer program to beat the world champion Lee Se-dol.)

孟买人工智能创业公司MoglA通过2000万个社交媒体数据点分析了社交媒体上人们的情绪，精 准的通过了解民意预测出了美国总统大选的结果-特朗普获胜。而这一结果是很多内部人士都预测失败的。(MogIA correctly predicted the past four presidential elections including the Trump one.)

大众慢慢意识到，人工智能的顶 级聪明才智及复杂性。意识到原来钢铁侠的贾维斯是可能真实存在的。继续发展下去，人工智能很快就会在各个领域超越人类。AI system becomes more powerful–superior to human performance in many or nearly all domains.

人工智能比人类能干并不可怕，人类可以利用其才能为自己的生活增添便利。

但是极其聪明又不知疲倦的AI has the potential to improve productivity,efficiency and accuracy.会有很多人因其失去工作，普华永道曾发布数据预测到2030年，机器人将占据日本21%以上的工作岗位、英国30%的工作岗位、德国35%的工作岗位和美国38%的工作岗位。到下个世纪，他们将占据人类现有工作的一半以上。尤其是那些jobs involving repetitive or basic problem-solving tasks.

当有一天人工智能发展到自我实现阶段，他们像人类一样要求自己的权利。当他们不再只是做逻辑思考和计算，开始出现感性思维时，人工智能对人类的威胁或许就会出现。如果极其聪明的人工智能不再听命如旧，不再遵循人类的旨意，人类又将如何应对。

而这样的人工智能其实已经离我们很近了。因曾扬言要毁灭人类而被人熟知的机器人索菲亚，在2017年10月获得了沙特阿拉伯授予的公民身份。而她的名言：人不犯我我不犯人（If you’re nice to me and I will be nice to you),更是令人毛骨悚然。倘若有一天，像电影《终结者》中那样，机器人想要反叛人类，占领世界，人类是否有能力战胜自己亲手缔造出来的全知全能的敌人呢？

太空探索技术的CEO马斯克曾说：“我们需要万分警惕人工智能，他们比核武器更加危险”而霍金（Stephen Hawking）也曾说：the emergence of artificial intelligence could be the"worst event in the history of our civilization."（作文可用）

人类至今也很难预测及探究AI最终会进化成什么样子，是拉开和人类的战争，还是与人类和平共处。但需防患于未然，对AI的独立运作需要加以严格的控制，保证是人类在控制机器，而非机器在控制人，

（对于这个题目，还有一个有些难度，但是可以写的点，列给大家，大家可以酌情使用：

AI-enabled terrorism:Artificial intelligence will change the way conflicts are fought from autonomous drones,robotic swarms,and remote and nanorobot attacks.In addition to being concerned with a nuclear arms race,we'll need to monitor the global autonomous weapons race.）

好啦，分析了这么多，咱们来一起看看今天的范文：

范文分析：

People seem to be either excited or worried（很巧妙的改写了题目）about the future impact of artificial intelligence.Personally I can understand the two opposing points of view(可直接搬到自己的文章中使用);I am both fascinated by developments in artificial intelligence and apprehensive（adj.忧虑的；不安的）about its possible negative effects.

（开头段：题目改写+观点给出—可借用的部分：People seem to be either xx or xx about题目事件.）

On the one hand,the increasing intelligence of technology should bring some obvious benefits.Machines are clearly able to do many jobs better than humans can,especially in areas that require high levels of accuracy or calculations using large amounts of data.For example,robots are being developed that can carry out surgical procedures with greater precision than a human doctor,and we already have cars that use sensors and cameras to drive themselves.（这个例子大家可以记住，科技改变生活的题目中都可以广泛使用-科技为人类带来的好处）Such technologies can improve safety by reducing the likelihood of human errors.It is easy to imagine how these developments,and many others,will steadily improve our quality of life.

（主体1段-第 一方观点：一共5句话，结构：观点-解释-举例-分析-总结）

On the other hand,I share the concerns of people who believe that artificial intelligence may harm us if we are not careful.In the short term,it is likely that we will see a rise in unemployment as workers in various industries are replaced by machines or software programs.For example,self-driving vehicles are expected to cause redundancies(原型：redundancy：名词-裁员，解雇)in driving jobs,such as lorry（货车）drivers,taxi drivers and bus drivers.In the medium term,if intelligent technologies gradually take jobs away from humans,we may find that people become deskilled and lose their sense of purpose in life.A longer term fear is that computers become so intelligent that they begin to make decisions without human oversight（名词：负责，照管，监督）and without regard for our well-being.

（主体2段-第二方观点-结构：递进式-短期-中期-长期）

In conclusion,while intelligent machines will no doubt improve our lives in many ways,the potential risks of such technologies should not be ignored.

（结尾：总结前文-可借用句型：While A will no doubt do sth.,the potential risks of A should not be ignored.）

Due to the development of the internet,public libraries are no longer necessary.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

话题：科技类

类型：同意与否

翻译：随着网络的发展，公共图书馆不再是城市必备，你是否同意这个观点。

话题分析：科技类的话题，主要考察科技改变生活，这就是一道科技改变生活的题目，考察在网络时代，传统的公共图书馆是否还被人们所需要。在过去图书馆一直是一个城市必不可少的元素

Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve.They are accessible and safe spaces,providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge.

然而如今，它的地位却受到了挑战

But today,public libraries are at a turning point.The way we access and consume information has changed dramatically in the 21st century,and this presents major challenges and opportunities for public library systems across the world.

咱们前面讲构思的时候，曾经跟大家讲过，考虑一个事件，可以分两个层次，即:

第 一层：必要性（necessity）或可行性（availability/possibility)

第二层：好处和弊端（pros and cons)

咱们以此来进行一下今天这道题目的构思：

首先：网络获取书籍，信息和数据的可行性-可以说现在大部分的书籍和杂志都有电子版-Nowadays,most books and magazines are being digitalized,and people find it convenient to search for information and read newly published novels online.所以可以说在线获取图书馆中提供的相同资源是可行的

其次:我们来想一想网络获取信息的好处-在现实生活中，我们会发现有一些杂志，书籍或是数据库会收少量费用，但即便如此，有很多人依然会选择在线阅读而非去图书馆，因为省时省力-Although most online magazines,e-books and databases charge fees for downloading or reading,people still prefer using them in consideration of their insufficient time and energy.

我们再来看一看取消公共图书馆的可行性：

图书馆是不是只有看书借书一个功能呢？并不是，很多图书馆都设有儿童角或儿童活动中心，所以我们看到，除了看书功能图书馆还兼具社交活动功能，这是网络阅读所不能提供的-many parents find that libraries are great places for their kids to socialize and find an interest in books.

另外公共图书馆有没有好处呢？公共图书馆有一个非常棒的好处可以写在雅思作文中，论证会有深度且强筋有力：Libraries are public facilities that aim to serve every citizen in the country and enhance the literacy of the whole society.So,people who cannot afford digital books or get access to the internet still need to use libraries,and their needs should not be ignored.-公共图书馆为那些无法支付网上阅读费用的人提供了学习机会，里面免费的学习资源可以让任何人都沉浸在知识的海洋中，提升整个城市的文化水平。

好啦，分析了这么多，运用了我们前面提到过的构思方法，想必大家已经清晰了这道题目可以书写的观点啦，咱们就一起来看一篇精选范文吧~

范文分析：

It is often argued that public libraries have become redundant(

not needed or useful多余的)because of the easy availability(咱们分析了这么多篇范文，大家有没有发现available/availability这个词常常被使用呢，包括在雅思阅读中也常常出现，非常好用的一个词，可用来替换have，请大家背诵使用）of information online.However,I totally disagree with this idea.

（开头段：话题引入+给出明确的自己的观点）

It is true that all information known to the mankind is now available on the internet.（使用了形式主语）Internet accessibility has also improved over the years.（时态使用很到位，现在完成时表示这几年间发生的变化，咱们雅思写作中表示今夕变化的时候常用现在完成时）However,this does not mean that public libraries are no longer needed.

（简单明了的承认反方现象-之后反驳了反方观点）

Libraries are much more than mere（仅仅，只不过）access points for books and information.They serve some other purposes as well.For example,libraries provide a quiet environment where one can read and learn.Distractions of everyday life can kill the joy of reading.Libraries offer a solution to this problem.Also,when you are in an environment where everyone is reading,you will also be motivated to get your reading done.This may not be possible at home,even if you can find the same reading material online.

（观点：图书馆不仅仅提供书籍-展开：它还提供了适宜读书的环境）

The internet is a vast pool of information but if you do not know what you are looking for,it is nearly impossible to find relevant information online.Libraries,on the other hand,make research easier by grouping books on a particular topic together.Even if you do not know anything about a given topic,you will still be able to find relevant information on that topic.Today’s libraries also provide access to computers and tablets so that users can search online if they need more information on a topic.

（观点：图书馆和网上阅读相比的其他好处-图书馆的分类方式更容易快速找到相关信息）

Internet accessibility may have improved over the years,but there are still millions of people who do not have access to the internet.Public libraries are the only sources of information for them.If libraries were to die,they would be in trouble.

（观点：即便网络覆盖率高了，仍然有没有网络的地区，对于这些地方的人，图书馆至关重要）

To conclude,despite the existence of all information online,libraries are still important because they provide an environment conducive（making it easy,possible or likely for sth to happen使容易或有可能发生）to reading and learning.

（despite的句型在结尾段很适用，despite+反方，我方）

这篇文章除了文中标出的好词之外，其可圈可点之处在于其结构：

开头段(改写+自己观点)

主体1段：给出观点+解释观点+举例支撑(也就是观点（idea）-解释（explain）-举例（example）)-（支持自己观点的第 一条原因）

主体2段：观点-解释-举例（或者对比，假设都可以）（支持自己观点的第 一条原因）

让步段：给出反方观点-论证反方观点-反驳反方观点

结尾（总结+重申观点）

这样调整下来文章一共五个自然段（文中还给出了一个主体3段写观点3，我们自己写文章时可以省略，两条支撑自己立场的分论点即可），除了开头结尾，剩下三个段，两个是自己方，一个是反方。很多高分文章也都采取了这种结构，且这样可以保证每个分论点都得到充分的展开。大家可以自己尝试着使用这种结构来写一下这道题目哦。

Maintaining public libraries is a waste of money since computer technology can replace their functions.To what extent do you agree or disagree.

话题：公共设施建设

社会热点：和6月26考题相同，考察网络、科技发展下，传统行业的走向

类型：同意与否类

翻译：

维护公共图书馆是一种浪费金钱的行为，因为电脑技术可以取代它们的功能。你在多大程度上同意或不同意

1.题目分析：

说白了这个题目咱们就是要分析计算机是否能彻底替代图书馆，传统图书馆是否有什么点计算机无法替代。

在过往公共图书馆是每一个城市、小镇的必备。

Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve.

为人们提供安静舒适的场所，摄取知识。

They are accessible and safe spaces,providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge.

但是随着科技的发展，人们获取信息和知识的途径发生了巨大变化。图书馆的地位被动摇

The way we access and consume information（好词，请记下来）has changed dramatically in the 21st century,and this presents major challenges for public library systems across the world.

毋庸置疑，在获取信息阅读书籍方面，电脑、网络有着

巨大的优势。方便、易搜索、信息体量更大。所以Why maintain expensive-to-run‘physical’libraries（public library文中可用的替换词）when growing numbers of people can already access the information they need from any location?政府完全可以把钱投在其他更重要的公共设施方面。

虽然有一定的道理，但这并不意味着图书馆就没有一席之地。我们的阅读习惯，信息获取习惯可以被改变，但我们对于安静舒适公共空间的需求从来没有变过。

Our need for shared,community-centred spaces to find information and connect with others is unlikely to change any time soon.(好句型：…..is unlikely to chang)

另外很多网络资源需要付费才可以获得，但在图书馆中，一切都是免费为当地社区人们提供的。They offer free educational resources to everyone.

不仅是书籍甚至还有一些免费提供的培训。At a library,it doesn't matter how much money you make,because every resource there is free of charge,including books,internet access,and educational and professional training programs.

所以无论财力状况如何，当地所有人都可以充分利用图书馆中的资源。

Individuals and families,no matter their socioeconomic status,can count on their libraries to provide them with the resources they need to succeed and the answers to important questions they can't otherwise find.

2.范文分析

Computer technologies have developed at an unprecedented pace nowadays,and some argue that it is pointless to support public libraries because their functions are increasingly being fulfilled by computers.In my view,while using laptops can make research easier and more interesting,state libraries are worth investing in because of the important role they play in this modern world.

结构：开头段：两句话-背景引入+观点给出

好词：at an unprecendented pace-unprecedented空前的，史无 前例的，表示变化速度之快

It is true that computers can sometimes do a better job than the traditional library in dispensing information and engaging learners.Through the internet,people can access information in a variety of means such as through online newspaper,blogs,or video clips,and the way to do so can be as straightforward as a single click on the mouse.Furthermore,compared to reading printed books which might seem comparatively boring,it is more intriguing and engaging for most people to surf the internet and watch programs such as BBC online documentaries to acquire the knowledge they need.

结构:让步段：观点+展开

亮点：1.首句观点句清晰明确2.后面的展开给出了非常具体的例子，如Blogs，video clips等

好词：engage，in a variety of means各种各样的方式，comparatively相比较，比较而言，intriguing非常有趣的；引人入胜的；神秘的-an intriguing possibility/question，极具吸引力的可能性／问题）

However,despite these benefits brought by computers,I believe that libraries still occupy an irreplaceable place in people’s lives.Firstly,as all the books and magazines in the library are published by professional houses,their reliability and authoritativeness is guaranteed.It therefore reduces the possibility of people getting misguided by false information.In addition,public libraries generally have sufficient budget provided by the government so that they can invite experts to give lectures.This approach allows visitors to gain deep insights into a certain specialized field,which can hardly be achieved by merely using a computer on one’s own.

结构：转折句+两个分论点

亮点：1.首句观点句承上启下2.后面的两个分论点都进行了合理的展开，没有空洞泛泛

好词：reliability,....is guaranteed,have sufficient buget资金充足，gain deep insights into

In conclusion,computer technology has made information research more accessible and enjoyable,but I believe that state-funded libraries are still of great value for citizens to obtain reliable and quality content.Consequently,they deserve to continue to exist and to receive a stable subsidy from the authority.

结构：总结上文观点，重述自己立场

好词：state-funded，a stable subsidy

（文章引自：IELTS Practice.Org)

When developing technology,the traditional skills and ways of life die out.It is pointless to try and keep them alive.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

话题：科技类，传统模式被新兴技术替代

类型：同意与否类

翻译：当发展科技时，传统技术和传统生活方式会消失不复存在，保留它们也没有意义，你在多大程度上同意或不同意此观点？

1.题目解析

本题考查科技改变生活，此类型题目会使用到今昔对比，对比在过去是什么样子，而现如今或是科技更加发达后会是什么样子。

今昔对比涉及对比的连接词及过去和现在的时间表达，小伙伴们首先要积累好，今昔对比常用的词汇哦。

科技改变生活是雅思写作中的老常客，比如：

现代科技的发展是让人们的生活变得更加便捷还是更加复杂

科技是否改变了教育的方式-在线教育

的确，现代科技很万 能Modern technology has been used for many tasks such as agriculture,industries,and the machines have replaced people’s manual tasks in most cases.

而我们的交流方式随着科技的发展也发生着变化。

The internet alters the way of communication dramatically;instead of visiting family these days,for example,people speak with each other over the phone or chat using social media like Facebook or Twitter.

但是传统技术不仅是一门技术，更是前人留给我们的珍贵遗产Traditional skill is the heritage from our ancestor，so we have responsibilities to take care for it.

无论技术再怎么发展，我们还是看到很多人保持着传统的生活方式，坚持传承着传统的技术

Technology offers us a better alternative,we should cordially accept that but we should also respect the people who among us maintain the old way of life.

（alternative：形容词-供选择的，可替代的方式-alternative method;名词-可供选择的事物，选项，选择-We

have no alternative but to fire him.-好词，背下来，写作阅读都会考）

2.范文分析

Technology is flourishing by leaps and bounds and undoubtedly this advancement is taking toll on the traditional values.I do believe that in this technological world traditional values are bound to disappear.

结构：话题引入+观点给出

两点：词用的实在是很地道

好词：

leaps and bounds-是大踏步的、跨越式的发展

bound to do sth-bound to do/be something certain or likely to happen,or to do or be something-注定会

·There are bound to be changes when the new system is introduced.

·It's bound to be sunny again tomorrow.

To initiate with,there are many reasons why these conventional values have no existence in this modern world.First of all,In this fast paced world,everyone is assisted with mobile phone to stay connected with their family and friends.However,（对比论证）in old times people used to send letters and stand in the long queues for maturity of one call.This advancement in the modes of communication has proved that traditional skills are worth for nothing.Secondly,technology has transformed the world of fashion.Earlier people used to do knitting,stitching,and designing manually but now machines have made every task easier and comfortable.To substantiate my view,many of fashion designing students were seen portraying pictures of model themselves for checking the compatibility of colors but at present this work is done in seconds on multifarious advanced softwares.Apart from this,hardly any one is seen purchasing pitcher for cool water because of the invention of refrigerators.

结构：

主题句

分论点1+展开（对应的ways of life）

分论点2+展开（对应的skills）

好词：

Multifarious:of many different kinds;having great variety多种的；各种各样的；多样的

To conclude,the evolution of modern technology is an ongoing process,so,the time-consuming traditional methods will not be able to maintain their pace with these latest trends.hence,it is useless and wastage to time to preserve them.

结构：总结+重述个人观点

好词：on going process/time-consuming/maintain the pace with

注：本文的一个巨大的优点在于词组固定搭配等使用非常好，有很多值得借鉴，值得背诵的词汇使用，从这个角度来讲，对我们写科技改变生活类的文章很有借鉴意义。但本文全文234个字没有符合字数要求，作者虽然是一边倒的观点，但是完全没有让步段或者提及反方观点，我们在自己写的时候要注意加入反方观点的让步段

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.

审题注意点：

1.university students–注意论证主体是大学生，切记不可写着写着就变成泛泛的在说学生了，要随时想着大学生的特点是什么，如面临就业等。像“增强逻辑，增强辩证性思维，丰富知识”等等这样的点，在写的时候要思考，是不是大学生特别需要的，是不是大学阶段特有的特点，是不是中学，小学生也适用，这样才能观点有说服力，且紧扣主题。

2.like vs.useful–本题是要我们论证兴趣导向还是实用导向，那么也就是既要写出兴趣导向的好处也要写出就业导向的好处，很多小伙伴们觉得想不出观点，在写的时候记住我们之前文章中给大家提到的，按不同的角度发散性思考观点，比如考虑到：学生本人，社会，国家三个角度的话，你就会发现观点丰富起来（如：可以写为社会各行业输送人才，更好的促进国家经济发展，解决就业率低下等等）

3.science and technology-注意本题在有用的职业这里给出了例子，给出了一个科技领域，不少同学会困惑，这个例子我是不是要写在文章中呢，不写会不会算跑题，如果写，写到什么程度？-这里给大家一个明确的答复-要写，如果你能够想到一些科技领域工作的例子，你可以写出来做举例论证支撑观点；如果你一时半会想不到科技领域内的任何例子，那么至少把science and technology这三个词，在文章中提及1-2次，这样就会比较保险，一定不会因此而出现偏题丢分啦。

好啦，分析了这么半天，咱们一起来看看考官是怎么写的吧：

People have different views about how much choice（你看，这个how much用的就特别好，how much表示对于程度的一个询问，也就对应了题目中所说的whatever they like及should only be allowed to）students should have with regard to(就…而言）what they can study at university.While some argue that it would be better for（比较级）students to be forced（force替换only be allowed to）into certain key subject areas,I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice.（while句子用来写其中一方人物的观点，后一句写自己的观点）

There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future（主题句-第 一方观点论证段)They may assert that university courses like medicine,engineering and information technology（举例-例子中包含science and 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（好词）,and therefore an improved quality of life for students who take them（给点同时论证出结果-语法：形式主语+主语从句）.On the societal level,by（by doing)forcing people to choose particular university subjects,governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered（词汇搭配）.Finally,a focus on technology in higher education could lead to new inventions,economic growth,and greater future prosperity(好词）.

（个人角度+社会角度论证）

In spite of these arguments,I believe that university students should be free to choose their preferred areas of study（主题句-第二方观点-作者自己观点）.In my opinion,society will benefit more if our students are passionate about（好词：对…感兴趣）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（再次提及science and technology–虚拟-未来预测，可能性）.

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.（再次表态）

仔细品读本文的观点表述（逻辑），句型以及词汇，并对这篇文章进行背诵及仿写可以帮助大家短期内快速提升雅思写作能力哦。时间不够的考生们也不用担心，和以前一样，我们依然把本文的逻辑句型框架整理出来供大家背诵套用：

开头段：

People have different views about….with regard to…...While some argue第 一方观点,I believe第二方观点（或你的观点）.

主体段：

There are various reasons why people believe that…反方观点…They may assert that…反方观点的论证....From a personal perspective,it can be argued that论证展开…and therefore…...On the societal level,by（by doing)……sb.can ensure that…….Finally,….could lead to….（此处注意，我们不一定要写3个观点，给出2个观点论证就可以-finally后面可以不要）

In spite of these arguments,I believe that…第二方观点/你的观点….In my opinion,sb.will benefit more if…分论点1论证….Besides,it may be……..If this were the case,perhaps we would need…..分论点2论证

结尾段：

In conclusion,although it might seem sensible for..反方观点…..,I personally prefer…自己观点….

今天的优选范文是一篇同意与否类的犯罪话题的题目，题目有一定的难度，和我一起来看一看吧～

Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later,and it is often argued that these are the best people to talk to teenagers about the dangers of committing a crime.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

题目翻译：一些入狱的人后来成了好公民，一些人认为这些人是和青少年谈论犯罪危险的最 佳人选。你是否同意？

构思：

同意：

犯罪者（criminals/offenders）-犯罪/改造经历（experience of rehabilitation）-更有说服力（more convincing）

青少年对老套的教育方式可能会无动于衷（be in different to）-犯人自身的故事讲述更有吸引力（story telling）

不同意：

犯罪者过度讲述犯罪细节（be constrained by details of committing crimes）可能会适得其反（be counterproductive）

考官范文（观点-彻底赞同）：

It is true that ex-prisoners（prisoner-犯人）can become normal,productive members of society（对good citizens的改写-此改写为具体化，抽象形容词具体化）.I completely agree with the idea that allowing such people to speak to teenagers about their experiences is the best way to discourage them from breaking the law.（开头：一句改写+一句表态）

In my opinion,teenagers are more likely to accept advice from someone who can speak from experience.Reformed offenders can tell young people about how they became involved in crime,the dangers of a criminal lifestyle,and what life in prison is really like.They can also dispel（动词：驱散，消除）any ideas that teenagers may have about criminals leading glamorous（注意此词可以用来形容-富有魅力的（人），另人向往的（事物））lives.While adolescents are often indifferent（adj.-漠不关心的，对…不感兴趣）to the guidance given by older people,I imagine that most of them would be extremely keen to hear the stories of an ex-offender.The vivid and perhaps shocking nature of these stories is likely to have a powerful impact.（主体1段-论证为什么是最好的方式：观点+解释/举例+好处）

The alternatives to using reformed criminals to educate teenagers about crime would be much less effective.One option would be for police officers to visit schools and talk to young people.This could be useful in terms of informing teens about what happens to lawbreakers when they are caught,but young people are often reluctant（不情愿做某事）to take advice from figures of authority.A second option would be for school teachers to speak to their students about crime,but I doubt that students would see teachers as credible sources of information（有效的，可信的信息-我们在写科技类-网络的弊端时也可以使用）about this topic.Finally,educational films might be informative,but there would be no opportunity for young people to interact and ask questions.（主体2段：论证为什么其他方式不是最好的：列举方式+反驳）

In conclusion,I fully support the view that people who have turned their lives around after serving a prison sentence（此处地道词组搭配）could help to deter teenagers from committing crimes.（重申观点）

20200118考题：

Some people think that children nowadays have too much freedom.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

翻译：现如今，孩子拥有过多的自由，你是否同意这个观点？

话题：教育类-儿童成长

类型：同意与否

关键词：children，too much,freedom

相似题目：剑桥雅思13 Test2：Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?考察选择太多，类似freedom但不限定于儿童。

解析：上周六的考试是一道通俗易懂的教育类考题考察儿童成长过程中是否被给予了过多自由。很多在掌控欲极强的家长手中成长的孩子渴望自由，而很多被放养的孩子又渴望父母的关爱管教，freedom这个词不光对于小孩子，放在人生的任何一个阶段都是值得讨论一番的话题

这道写作题目看似简单，但是其中却隐含着两个难点：

我们需要去探讨的社会问题是孩子是否拥有太多的自由，那么1）这个题目中的freedom具体是指什么？2）多少算过多？

1）一些考生的文章很可能会把这个题目写的特别空，特别大，很抽象不具体。可能全文的让步段主体段都在说孩子自由了之后的好和坏，但是并没有把孩子到底怎么自由了给具体展开，比如，你可以具体的写出：在做决定方面-比如在和谁结交朋友，或者在周末做什么活动时被给予自由等等。如果你能具体的给出孩子在哪方面获得freedom了，这方面获得freedom有什么具体好处，过多的freedom又会有什么坏处，那么你的文章内容上就不错了。

2）本题的第二个难点在于too much这个词，这个限定词表明可以给freedom，孩子适当的享有freedom没有问题，但如果事事都给予自由，任何事都不做限制那么就出问题了。所以随着社会的发展，孩子现在的确更自由了，但是这个自由能称得上是过多吗？孩子能承受多大程度上的自由呢？要注意如果小伙伴们在文中一些在写有freedom的利弊其实是有点偏题的，你要写的是当今社会中，孩子是否有适量的自由，是不是过度放纵孩子了，过多给予自由了有什么弊端。你要论证的重点不是“有还是没有”而是“过多还是适量”。

小编认为这种带too much限定的题，还是同意too much写too much带来的问题会比较好些。逻辑就是：我同意孩子有太多自由了-举出一些太多自由的例子-论证一些太多自由给孩子带来的不良影响。

好啦，分析了这么多，我们来看一些可以在文中使用的论证好句：

Most kids have no idea how to handle an excess of freedom（过多的freedom）,even though they’re demanding it

Here’s the end result when kids get to run the household:They eat only what they want to eat.They watch an inordinate amount of TV（inordinate-unusually or disproportionately large;excessive过量的，过多的-好搭配）.They play an endless amount of video games.They cuss out their parents.They don’t take care of their things.They demand that their parents buy them whatever they want.They have no frustration tolerance.Their wants become their needs.Their needs must be met.Their needs supersede（replace-替代）everyone else’s.

不得不说孩子的确还处在一个immature的阶段，很多生活看起来很爽实则充满隐患。

Kids need parents to restrict their freedom,to narrow their choices and to put pressure on them to meet their obligations.Kids may not appreciate all this restraint.But they need it.And parents need to step up to the plate and provide it,even when it’s so much easier to just give in to the incessant complaining and demanding.

For decades,parents have been hovering over（守护，指父母守护自己的孩子）their children and their freedom.Now these kids rebel（反抗，叛逆）,overuse social media,and disrespect their parents.These kids should be given enough freedom so that they aren’t on their phones every minute they are alone.

Kids are also more likely to rebel if you coddle them.It will lead to drugs,lies,drinking,or worse（不自由孩子会叛逆反抗，会出现的问题）.If you ground a child for too long,they’ll feel trapped（受困其中）and want to get out,this is the main cause for rebelling and will continue to be until parents see that grounding is a cruel and harmful punishment because now a days kids have to live up to their parents expectations and if they don't than they are usually grounded.

写作真题：

Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age.Some think they should begin at least 7 years old.Discuss both views give opinions.

翻译：一些人认为，孩子应该在很小的时候就开始接受正规教育，另外一些人认为，孩子应该到7岁再接受正规教育，讨论双方观点，并给出自己的看法。

话题：教育类

类型：双边讨论型

关键词：formal education,at a very early age,at least 7 years old

分析：

本题探讨儿童多少岁上学合适。

既然咱雅思出了这道题，那么一定是早有早的理，晚有晚的理

在英国，法定正规教育的年龄是5岁，也就是野原新之助小朋友的年龄哦，目前不少英国预备小学可能最早在孩子2岁时便可以接受其入学。

越早接受正规教育，孩子被开发的就越早，然后就可以实现16岁上大学的天才梦了......

但是这么早入学一定也是有很多危害的，试想，如果孩子小小年纪就天天背着小书包去上学，那么他们玩耍的时间一定会变少，而玩耍对于孩子的后天发展有着至关重要的意义：

Play enables early humans to become powerful learners and problem-solvers-玩耍帮助孩子们提高问题解决能力成为更好的学习者。

Much of children’s play involves pretending that one thing represents another,for example that a cardboard box is a space ship.This ability is thought to be unique to humans and underpins language,drawing and other ways in which we convey meaning.-孩子们的许多游戏都包含假装一件事代表另一件事，例如一个纸箱就代表一艘太空船。这种能力被认为是人类独有的，是语言、绘画和其他传达意义的方式的基础。

Through all kinds of physical,constructional and social play,children become more aware of,and more in control of,their physical and mental activity.-通过各种体育，建造模型和社交游戏，孩子们对他们的身体和心理活动有了更多的认识和控制。

无论是对于儿童还是动物幼崽（参见剑桥雅思4Test2阅读文章：Play is a Serious Business），玩耍都是很重要很有意义的，所以年少不要急着当学霸，快快站起来玩耍

范文：

There has been growing momentum（名词：势头）（growing momentum合在一起表示more and more pressure)in recent years towards movements for children to start schooling（学校教育，对应词parenting-家庭教育）after the age of 7.In my opinion,although going to school from a young age will help with social development,children should be allowed to grow outside school until the age of 7.

（开头段：背景介绍+个人观点表达，在表达个人观点时使用了-although+反方观点，我方观点-的结构，简洁明了，推荐模仿使用）

Proponents（正方，支持者，可以替换advocates,supporters,反义词：opponents，critics这几组词大家可以进行背诵，是雅思写作主体段中经常可以用到替换people的更精 准词汇）of early schooling often point out the clinical research(此处=evidence)on the impact of school on social skills（好搭配：the impact of A on B).At home,children are exposed to（暴露于）a variety of different circumstances.They may or may not have siblings（兄弟姐妹）,their parents might take them out for playdates often or neglect them at home,hampering（动词：阻碍，妨碍=hold back）their social skills.Once children start school,they are all in more or less an equal environment where they must communicate with older and younger children,compromise when playing,learn to listen to their teachers,and start forming stable bonds(情感纽带）(form stable bonds=develop long-term relationships)based on empathy and shared interests with others.

（论证第 一方观点-早上学的好处,优点：作者在展开时书写的非常具体）

Despite the social advantages（此处承上启下）,children can develop more uniquely（独特地）if they are allowed to delay their entrance to formal schooling.A good example of this is in Finland（给出具体例子）,where students do not begin school until after the age of 7.Finland is renowned（名声，名望）for its top-performing students（好的修饰）but this can be traced to（追踪于，追究于）a number of factors besides simply school age.However,the impact on individual development is apparent（好搭配：the impact on….is apparent).According to research into child psychology,children form the basis of their personality between the ages of 4 and 7.Therefore it is paramount（至高的，主要的=important）to delay the age when they begin school in order to give them room to breath and ultimately produce a greater variety of voices in society at large as has been the case in Finland.

（论证第二方观点-晚上学的好处，优点：作者给出了非常具体的例子）

In my opinion,the social benefits of school do not outweigh the individual positives of delayed schooling to both the individual and society.Schools should continue to research this area so that they can better advise policymakers（决策者，=politicians/officials/leaders在很多雅思考题中，我们可以用policymakers替换government).

(结尾段：总结+重申自己的观点）

Source：by Dave-from-howtodoIELTS-Sample Answer

好词：

1.hamper:动词-妨碍，阻碍-to prevent someone doing something easily

常见修饰搭配：

+名词：hamper the development of…..

副词+：badly/greatly/seriously/severely+hamper…..

2.paramount:形容词-至上的，首要的-more important than anything else

小伙伴们在使用这个词的时候，可以用sth is paramount或者sth is of paramount importance.

eg.There are many priorities,but reducing the budget deficit is paramount/is of paramount importance.

很多事情要优先解决，但当务之急是减少预算赤字。

题目：

Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can develop better skills and more creativity than reading.To what extent do you agree?

翻译：与阅读相比，和孩子一起做愉快的活动能为其培养更好的技能和创造力。你在多大程度上同意？

话题：教育类

类型：同意与否

关键词：enjoyable activity,reading,develop better skills and more creativity

分析:这道教育类的题目要大家对阅读和其它有趣的活动进行对比，看哪个更能培养孩子的能力和创造力。那么拿到这道题目，小伙伴们先要想一想，enjoyable activity都能是什么，什么对于孩子来讲是愉快的，可以享受的活动呢？比如“玩”对吗？那么“玩‘又包含了什么呢，具体一点来说，比如painting,比如一些outdoor activities等。试想如果和孩子在室外进行一场需要跑、跳、爬、滚等运动的形式实现的游戏，游戏中孩子还需要发挥想象力来解决问题，那么这个活动不仅能促进全身血液循环，锻炼心肺功能，增加身体运动控制能力和动作灵活性，还可以让儿童在活动中通过对变化的观察，进行分析与判断，思考解决问题的办法，充分发挥想象力，孩子的认知能力也将得到提高。是不是很有意义呢~

我们再来看看阅读，阅读对于各个年龄段的人都是很重要的，对于儿童，在阅读中，儿童对于探索世界的兴趣会得到充分的刺激，长期的阅读会帮助儿童知识面变丰富，观察力，思考和提问能力，沟通表达能力和创造力都得以提升，对于儿童的学习能力的培养更是意义重大。本题谈论的是develop better skills and more creativity，显然无论是enjoyable activity还是reading都对儿童的各项skills的开发和创造力的开发有很大帮助，但是在写同意与否类的文章时，小伙伴们一定要有一个清晰的立场，中立可以，但是中立不好写，对词汇，语法和表意都有很高的要求，写不清楚容易被判断为立场不清而因此失去分数，所以建议大家选择一方，要不是reading要不就写enjoyable activity更有效，看自己哪边观点会的词多就写哪边即可~

好啦，咱们来看一篇精选的9分范文吧。

范文分析：

Parents throughout the world place spend time reading with their offspring（名词：子孙，后代-替换child）to prepare them for school where their literacy skills（the ability to read and write-读写能力）are further developed（你看这个further developed写的特别好-儿童在小时候，在parenting中会培养一部分的literacy skills而在schooling中，他们的技能是在被进一步提高-大家可以在自己的教育类文章中进行使用）;however,recent research suggests that focusing on reading at an early age can be detrimental（形容词：不利的，有害的）,and participating in fun activities would be far more beneficial.I am a strong advocate（支持者，昨天的文章中我们也给出了支持者的多种说法，此处请进行复习）of this approach,and the benefits of it will be covered in this essay.

（开头段：这个开头书写的较长，大家在自己写文章时开头段时不必写这么长，简要的引入话题+给出给人立场即可。本文开头段首句使用了分号连接前后两个分句，分号可以连接两个句子，但句子间必须要有明确清晰的逻辑关系）

A fundamental reason（根本原因，用fundamental引出，说明你接下来给出的理由一定是首要的，根本的，触及本质的）for this is that there is no biological age for reading,and pushing infants to acquire this skill before they are ready could have repercussions（名词：反向，后果，指不好的结果）.For example,in the UK,many boys arereluctant（形容词：不情愿的，勉强的）readers,possibly because of being forced to read,and this turned them off reading.By focusing on other activities and developing other skills such as creativity and imagination,when they are ready to read,they usually acquire this skill（好搭配：acquire the skill）rapidly.In addition,the importance of encouraging creativity and developing a child’s imagination must be acknowledged.Through play,youngsters(children替换)develop social and cognitive skills（认知能力）,for example,they are more likely to learn vocabulary through context rather than learning it from a book.

（勉强阅读可能会适得其反-举了UK的例子进行论证-反证如果做其它有创意的活动，可能会为以后阅读铺垫道路，以及创意活动和想象力的重要性）

Furthermore,play allows youngsters to mature emotionally,and gain self-confidence（好搭配）.There is no scientific research which suggests reading at a young age is essential for a child’s development.Moreover,evidence suggests the reverse(背面，反面，相反)is true.In Finland（大家看上一篇教育类和这一篇教育类中，涉及到儿童教育都使用了芬兰作为例子，芬兰的教育全球第 一，其优质的早教更是久负盛名,大家可以把这两篇文章中芬兰的例子背诵下来，在教育类的文章中进行使用）early years’education focuses on playing.Reading is only encouraged if a child shows and interest in developing this skill.This self-directed approach certainly does not result in Finnish school leavers falling behind their foreign counterparts.In fact,Finland was ranked the sixth best in the world in terms of reading.

（论证enjoyable activity可以帮助孩子思想成熟，增强其自信。举了芬兰的例子，这两个主体段写的好的地方就在于都各自举了具体的例子）

Despite being a supporter of this non-reading approach,I strongly recommend incorporating（包含，吸收）bedtime stories into a child’s daily routine.However,reading as a regular daytime activity should be swapped（交换）for something which allows the child to develop other skills.

（结尾陈述作者观点，自己是non-reading approach的支持者，但是也建议应该加入一些bedtime stories，立场清晰，观点明确）

好词：

1.Repercussion：可数名词：If an action or event has repercussions,it causes unpleasant things to happen sometime after the original action or event.后果

·搭配：形容词：considerable/important/serious/widespread/economic/political/social+repercussion

动词：have+repercussion

介词：repercussion+for sb/on sth(serious repercussions on productivity/major repercussions for the local community)

·用法：这个词大家可以用在环境类的题目中，写乱砍树木，乱扔垃圾，throw-away society等会产生repercussions。或者在经济发展的题目中，可以写：have serious repercussions for the local economy-对当地经济有很严重的影响

·例句：Because of money,we no longer see the direct repercussions our purchases have on other people and the environment.

·因为钱,我们再也看不到自己的购买对他人和环境的直接影响。

2.Reluctant：not willing to do something and therefore slow to do it不情愿的；勉强的

·搭配：

动词搭配：appear/feel/look/seem+reluctant

介词搭配：后面加to–reluctant to do sth

·例句：I was reluctant to leave.我不愿离开

Politicians are reluctant to cut taxes.政客们不愿意削减税收

3.Swap：动词=exchange：to give something and be given something else instead交换，交易

·搭配：动词：do/make/agree on a swap

·介词：Swap+between：swap sth between A and B

Swap+with：do a swap with sb

·例句：I’ll swap seat with you.我将和你换座位。

题目：

Giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching.With the technology available today there is no justification for it,and everything should be done online.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

翻译：

先来给大家一个词汇解释，相信auditorium这个词很多同学可能不认识

Auditorium可数名词：a large public building where meetings,concerts,etc.are held剧院；礼堂；音乐厅---这个词在本题中既泛指教室，真实课堂

教师在传统课堂中为学生们上课是一种老旧的教学模式。随着科技的发展，这种教学形式在今天没有存在的意义，所有课程教学都应当在线完成，你多大程度上同意或不同意这一观点。

话题：科技类-科技改变教学形式

类型：同意与否类

关键词：Giving lectures in auditoriums，Everything should be done online

解析：这道题目的本质就是让我们对比传统教育和在线教育，指出两者的优劣然后得出一个结论-传统教育是否还有存在价值。

读书至今，相信小伙伴们都对传统教学形式比较熟悉，大家在一个教室中集中听老师上课，这种‘强迫型的聚集’对学生自觉性依赖度小。坐在教室中，即便可能走走神，犯会困，大部分情况下也还是会集中精力听讲的。对于老师而言，课堂活动也比较好组织，一些任务型的教学活动需要学生们以小组形式合作完成，在真实课堂当中相对是比较好开展的。而弊端就在于时间地点并不灵活。

今年的新冠病毒出现，不少学校不能按时开学，都开展了网上教学，于是网课一下成为热点。朋友圈中，微博，知乎上不少教师同仁以及学生都在吐槽网络质量不佳，学生参与方式死板，参与度低，影响课堂质量，不利于健康等等。

小编可以说是网课资 深户了，做在线雅思教师已久，对于网络教学其实还是很有感情的，它的确解决了很大一部分去实体课堂中学习困难的人群的问题。小编自己的观点是网课不适用于幼儿教育+大部分的青少年课程，比较适用于高中，大学+成人教育。单以英语来讲，幼儿及青少年集中注意力的时间短，需要多样的课堂活动来不断吸引他们的注意力，提高他们的学习兴趣，网课在这一点上表现平平，当然也许随着技术的发展，网络授课软件可以演化出更复杂多样的功能，届时也许可以解决这一问题，但至少现在，没有哪个软件在此处做的很突出，对于年龄小的学习者，网络教育只可以是辅助而不能成为主体。对于年龄大一些的学生，学习动机明确，自主性强，网课对于他们而言，提供了更多的便捷，学习方式和时间都比较灵活，且可以反复回看，可谓是便宜高效。

好啦，听了小编说这么多，给大家一些可以在自己作文中用的好句子：

Even though e-learning has become an education equalizer,it’s still not a replacement for the traditional classroom.Sure,the technology is advancing,but it’s not flawless.Just like any new,burgeoning innovation,e-learning faces its own challenges.

From the teacher’s perspective,they can see where students get lost in a lesson and grade assignments with the click of a button.

If a platform（指在线课堂所使用的软件/平台）could actually cater content and interaction around the individual user—their speed,their interests,their location—then e-learning could give them the ability to learn whatever they want,from wherever they want.

Some students need the push to get to class.Online students who know they can do it at“their own pace”may procrastinate(拖延).

好啦，想必你现在已经对这个题目很有想法啦，咱们接下来来看精选范文吧

Technology has changed every aspect of our life(我们生活的方方面面)including the way we learn and teach.Nowadays it is possible to earn degrees online.Online forums allow you to ask questions on any topic and receive answers within a matter of minutes.However,I still believe that online education cannot replace classroom-based learning and teaching.

（开头段：引出话题+给出观点-要点：1）此开头写了4句话，大家在自己的文章开头段一般写2-3句即可，不要过长，但是一定要给出明确的观点2）大家注意cannot这个词的写法，首先是连着写的不要分开写成can not，另外请注意不要简写成can’t，学术写作我们尽量避免简写）

Online learning has its advantages.You can learn from the comforts of your home.The flexible learning hours are a boon（福利，恩惠-对于很多可以类的题目我们都可以使用这个词，technology can be regarded as a boon for….对于…而言某项科技发明为其带来了巨大福利）for people who cannot afford to spend 6 or 7 hours in the classroom.Also,the internet has made it possible for learners to find teachers from any part of the world.So,for example,a student who wants to learn Spanish can find Spanish teachers online and learn from her home.She does not have to go to Spain or find an institution that teaches Spanish in her country.（此处给出具体的例子---这一点需要大家借鉴，在自己的写作中如果论证过程中能尽量给出这样具体到人、地方、事件的例子，会为你的文章大大加分）

（网络授课的好处）

Online learning has its disadvantages too.Since there is no one to supervise your work or evaluate your progress you need a great amount of motivation（此处注意motivation的修饰使用）and discipline to complete your course successfully.Distractions are a real problem for students doing online programs.

（网络授课的弊端）

By contrast,classroom learning does not have many of these drawbacks.The best thing about classroom learning is that it creates an ambiance（气氛，氛围）conducive（有助于，利于）to learning.In a class you are surrounded by other students who also want to score higher grades.This encourages you to work harder.In addition,subjects like medicine and engineering cannot be taught online because the emphasis is on practical not theory(再一次给出了非常具体的例子).

（教室授课的好处）

To conclude,online learning may have its benefits,but I still feel that classroom learning is superior（优于）to online learning.That said,the internet and information technology have endless possibilities.Both students and teachers will benefit a lot if they take advantage of the power of the internet in the classroom.

这篇文章是一篇9分范文，但小编个人认为这篇文章并没有9分的水平,大家觉得呢？大家可以现在不继续往下看，停在这里思考一下你觉得这篇文章的优缺点在哪里。

好了，来看看你想的和小编是否一样：

先说不足：

1）句间连接性不好：CC方面会扣掉分数，段落内部很多句子孤立存在，没有连接词，比如第二段开头：You can learn from the comforts of your home.The flexible learning hours…这两句之间逻辑关系不清晰，比如可以在The flexible learning hours…这一句前面加入如：To be more specific,…/In other words…等去表明作者想表明的逻辑关系

2）作者的观点是online education不会替代掉传统课堂教学，主体段分析了在线教育的利弊和传统教育的好，这都没问题，但是结尾段，作者给出了一个classroom learning is superior to online learning的观点，这个观点与全文的论证相符度低，全文并没有论证传统教育哪里比在线教育好了，只是说明在线教育有一些绕不开的问题，传统教育不存在这些问题。而且题目也是在说With the technology available today there is no justification for it,and everything should be done online.也就意味着结尾点题的重点应该放在-传统教育存在是有意义的，在线教育有局限，传统教育可以弥补上。所以可以说他这个结尾写的并不是很好。

但既然有这些不足，为什么还要选择这篇文章而不选其他的呢？

因为它有以下这些非常值得借鉴的优点

1）段间逻辑写的真的很好-大家仔细看三个主体段的首句，简介清晰且有关联性，第三段首句的too和第四段首句的by contrast都很好的和前一段做了呼应。

2）段内论证写的好-这个好是指具体-多次给出了具体的例子，有说服力。

3）它没有特别华丽的辞藻，但它行文通畅如流水—其实很多小伙伴可能都不具备很多高分范文的词汇水平，但是大家一定不能不具备把一件事清晰的说明白的能力。本文大部分的词都是常用词汇，在常用词汇中偶尔穿插几个有难度的词汇；没有长难句，但是综合运用了定语从句，状语从句及分词修饰等等，大程度上用自己掌握透彻的语言知识把内容正确，清晰的表达出来了，这就很好。另外文中标灰色字体的部分是一些非常地道的词汇搭配表达，作者使用了很多，大家可以借鉴学习。

Caring for children is probably the most important job in any society.Because of this,all mothers and fathers should be required to take a course that prepares them to be good parents.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

翻译：在任何社会中，照顾孩子似乎都是父母最重要的工作。因此,所有的父母都应该被要求参加帮助他们成为优 秀父母的课程。你在多大程度上同意或不同意？

话题：教育类

类型：同意与否

解析：

在这道题目中，大家需要去表述是否同意所有的父母都必须去上育儿课(a course that prepares them to be good parents/parenting class)。题中all是个绝 对词，你需要考虑，是否所有家庭都需要。而be required to一词指出是强制参加，被要求参加。

也就是这个题目如果你同意题目观点，你的立场就是-所有家长必须参加育儿课-育儿课应该变成强制课程-甚至应该立法强制每一位家长参加育儿课

而你如果不同意，则意味着-育儿课不必要有，或者育儿课可以有但是参与与否是自愿的而非必须的

我们先来看看育儿课都学些什么，再来想点会更简单一些。

很多即将成为父母的人或者是初为父母者对如果育儿都感到困惑，Parenting class为这些家长提供养育孩子的建议，策略及提供一些实用的工具。（很多育儿课都是针对产妇夫妻的，也有部分育儿课是针对新生儿父母的）

有任何疑问都可以在育儿课上进行提问，有育儿经验的家长也会来分享经验。（The purpose of parenting classes is to help parents feel more connected,involved and focused on their child.Parenting classes provide advice,strategies,and tools on how to raise children and provide an opportunity for parents to share ideas and concerns with parents going through similar issues.）

而参与完parenting class的家长，感觉到自己的知识增长

看到了很多优 秀的育儿例子，育儿成功的信心会大大增加（Parents come away from classes feeling more confident about and more supported in their parenting decisions.）

由此可见参加育儿课程有很多好处：可以增加育儿信心、学习新的技能、让家长学会更好的帮助孩子成长（Parenting classes are a wonderful way to increase your confidence,acquire new skills and strategies,and learn more about your child's development.）

然而这么有益处的育儿课又何来的反对声音呢？我们来看一下，反对者的观点：

1.每个孩子的个性都不同，况且学的这些知识明明都可以通过看书习得-Each child has their own individual needs,and why pay money to attend parenting classes when you can go to the library and get books and read about it?You can also ask your family members for advice if you need it.

2.可以参加育儿课，但是这只应该是个选择（should be a choice），而不应该是强制强求（be required to）。How does the teacher know what is right?Who made the rules?How do they know what is right?Every parent has the right to raise their child as they see fit.It is a learning process and something that every parent should have to figure out on their own.

3.太耗时了（It would take too much time.）

如上我们看到，育儿课是有好处有帮助的，新手家长可以选择去上育儿课，但是育儿课不一定是必须的，因为耗时间等原因，另外的确不是所有家长都需要，如果强制去上甚至立法的话也许会适得其反。大家觉得呢？

好啦，接下来我们一起看今天的精选范文，这篇范文是Simon老师的大作。

范文分析：

It is true that parents shoulder a huge responsibility and that raising children is by no means（好词，见文后词汇分析）an easy task.However,I completely disagree with the idea that we should therefore force all mothers and fathers to attend parenting courses.

（开头：引入话题+表达观点-记住同意与否一定要上来就表态，态度一定要明确清晰，比如像Simon老师用的词：completely disagree）

In my opinion,the idea that all future parents should take a parenthood preparation course is completely impractical(不切实际的，无法执行的).Many prospective parents（Prospective parents:还没有真正成为父母，但是未来将要成为父母。同样的还有prospective buyers,employers,etc:they are not yet buyers,employers,but are expected to be in the future）have jobs and busy schedules,and they may not be willing or able to attend regular parenting classes.This raises the question of whether those who missed the classes,or perhaps refused to attend,would be punished.I believe that it would be wrong to do this,and it would therefore be impossible to enforce（好词，见文后词汇解析）the idea of compulsory training for parents.Besides,even if parents could be forced to attend,I doubt that people would agree on what good parenting entails（好词，见文后词汇解析）,and so it would be difficult to create a parenting course to suit everyone.

（本段的观点是-impractical不实际，给出了两条原因论证为什么不实际-原因1.时间不够，原因2.很难设计出适合每一个家庭的课程）

As well as being impractical,I would argue that training courses for parents are unnecessary.Mothers and fathers have been raising children without any formal help or official interference(n.干扰，干涉)for thousands of years.Parenting skills are learnt from family members,friends,neighbours and the surrounding culture.Perhaps more importantly,adults learn to be good parents by instinct(n.本能，直觉),by trial and error,and by getting to know their own children;for example,a good parent will try different strategies when faced with a badly-behaved child,and will gradually develop an understanding of what works to correct the behaviour.None of this requires the intervention(n.介入)of a taught course.

(本段观点为-不必要unnecessary-后面列举了unnecessary的原因-parenting skills可以用过父母，朋友，邻里甚至是自己的直觉来获得，不一定非要去特意上个课程进行学习)

In conclusion,while compulsory parenting lessons might seem like a good idea,I believe that such a scheme would be unworkable and largely pointless.

（总结全文+重述观点-unworkable=impractical,largely pointless=unnecessary）

(289 words,band 9)

好词：

1.By no means:

by no means=not by any means=not at all一点也不,完全不是，决不

eg.This is by no means the best solution of this problem.

2.Enforce：动词-实施，执行；强迫，强制

经常和法律法规一起使用：enforce a law/a rule

Eg.It is the duty of the police to enforce the law.

The government is planning to enforce a ban on smoking.

常见搭配：

动词：be difficult to/be hard to/be impossible to enforce…

Seek to/take steps to enforce…

refuse to enforce…

3.entail:to involve something

同义词：involve

Eg.What does the job entail?

The job entails a lot of hard work.

It will entail driving a long distance.

常见副词搭配：actually/inevitably/necessarily+entail

本文值得借鉴的点：

Simon老师的这篇文章；

1.个人观点清晰-completely disagree

2.主体段的主题清晰，每个主体段都可以用一个形容词概括出来

1）主体1段-impractical

2）主体2段-unnecessary

开头2个句子，两个主体段分别一个主体段5个句子，结尾1个句子

全文一共13个句子，逻辑十分清晰。

学后反思：

检查你的文章，是不是个人观点很清晰？

主体段的中心论点是否能用1-5个词给简明的讲出来？

数一数你文章中的句子，是不是每一句都有明确的作用，有没有冗余的没有意义去掉也无妨的句子？

Some universities now offer their courses on the Internet so that people can study online.Is this a positive or negative development?

翻译：一些大学现在提供网课，以便学生可以进行网上学习。你认为这一发展是积极的还是消极的？

话题：教育类

类型：利弊分析

解析：

随着新冠疫情的全球爆发，很多海外高校都面临窘境。

收着高昂的学费但是无法开课，面临学生的流失（前的流失），想要开网课，却又遭到大量学生的反对。

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected hundreds of thousands of college students.Nearly all institutions are in crisis mode,having closed dormitories and dining halls,suspended study abroad programs,canceled on-campus events(athletics,performances,commencement),and moved on-campus courses to hastily created online alternatives.

*描述的很现实-匆忙准备的在线课程

很多大学刚刚推出在线课程不久就面临了五花八门的问题，从网络连接到心理健康到经济需求（from laptops and Internet access to mental health and financial needs）

不少同学认为在线课程的互动较少、缺乏同学讨论、课堂活动，这样的课程感觉枯燥无味，毫无生气（Paying the same amount of tuition for a semester of lackluster classes is not preferable for students.）

*lackluster：枯燥乏味的，单调的

大家因此而选择退费休学（Some students demand refunds for tuition.）

用一句话总结大学这学期的情况：The transition to online classes has been rocky.

*Rocky：difficult and not certain to continue or to be successful困难的；难以维持的；不稳定的

这可能是在COVID-19期间，谈到大学网课，大家最直观的一个印象了。

学生角度看，大学不想放弃来自留学生白花花的学费，又没办法解决现状提出令人满意的解决方案。

大学角度看，为了保住留学生不惜降低语言门槛、提供额外奖学金，负担不起学费退还，还要养活大批的教授和员工。

但是网课并非从今年才开始的，早在COVID-19之前，大学开网课就已经很普遍了。

高等院校开设网络课堂，为想要来学习的学生提供更多样化的学习方式-higher education today offers a variety of options for students.

无论学生是学习什么专业的，他们基本都可以在网上找到自己对应的课程no matter what students study,from nursing to neuroscience,they can find the courses or programs they need online

那么online-course有什么好处呢？我来给大家罗列一些可以写的点：

Lower total costs：Online programs prove a more affordable option than traditional colleges.Though not all online degrees offer less expensive net tuition prices than traditional colleges,associated expenses almost always cost less.For example,there are no commuting costs,and sometimes required course materials,such as textbooks,are available online at no cost.

More comfortable learning environment:Commercials that feature online students studying in their pajamas only skims the surface of one of the benefits of online education:no physical class sessions.Students listen to lectures and complete assignments sent to them electronically,with no need to fight traffic,leave work early for class,or miss important family time.

Convenience and flexibility:Online courses give students the opportunity to plan study time around the rest of their day,instead of the other way around.Students can study and work at their convenience.Course material is always accessible online,making special library trips unnecessary.All of these benefits help students balance work and family commitments with their education.

Career advancement:Students can take online courses and even complete entire degrees while working,while in-between jobs,or while taking time to raise a family.This academic work will explain any discontinuity or gaps in a resume as well.Also,earning a degree can show ambitiousness to prospective employers and a desire to remain informed and prepared for new challenges.

看好处还不少吧，但为啥现在学生们会如此反对大学使用在线模式上课度过疫情呢？

小编认为这其实就是主动选择和被动选择之间的问题。

主动选择网络课程的学生一般是看中在线课程的便宜便捷，这些人很多在职或是无法跨州跨区学习，所以在线课程成了不错的选择。

而没有这些空间时间障碍的学生，在学校显然能够参与更多丰富多彩有趣的课堂活动、校园活动，突然让这些学生上网课，很容易不适应。

另外，网课还有很多其他的弊端。比如：

University Online training courses are boring

Although online training is meant to provide a solution to the boredom of classroom-based learning,this is not always the case.

尽管大学努力改善，但是还是不如教室学习有意思。主要问题就是lack of engagement and motivation

但是随着科技的进步，实际上，现在越来越多的在线课程是dynamic,fun and interactive的形式

Students encounter technical difficulties.

While it may sound obvious,technical problems are one of the main stumbling blocks of online training.Very often,there are compatibility issues(with operating systems,browsers or smartphones),the courses never get off the ground or the student doesn’t know how to continue.All this adds to their frustration and reduces employee engagement,the learning experience is disrupted and they will probably abandon the course.

（很多的技术问题，比如掉网、电脑操作系统不兼容等等都会致使学生学习体验度下降）

好啦，小编就给大家罗列这么多观点，接下来咱们一起看Simon的9分范文吧

范文分析

It is true that online courses are becoming a common feature of university education.Although there are some drawbacks of Internet-based learning,I would argue that there are far more benefits.

（开头两句话：形式主语给出话题引入+让步状语从句给出自己的观点；看到没小伙伴们，这个形式主语+让步状语的结构再度出现，在高分范文中，这个结构认同度很高呀，仿写哦）

The main drawback of the trend towards online university courses is that there is less direct interaction.观点Students may not have the opportunity to engage face-to-face with their teachers,and will instead have to rely on written forms of communication.展开1-和老师Similarly,students who study online do not come into direct contact with each other,and this could have a negative impact on peer support,discussion and exchange of ideas.展开2-和同学For example,whereas students on traditional courses can attend seminars and even discuss their subjects over coffee after lessons,online learners are restricted to chatting through website forum areas.These learners may also lack the motivation and element of competition that face-to-face group work brings.

（主体1段写弊端-缺少直接沟通）

Despite the negatives mentioned above,（段间连接）I believe that online university courses are a positive development for various reasons.观点Firstly,they allow learners to study in a flexible way,meaning that they can work whenever and wherever is convenient,and they can cover the material at their own pace.好处1Secondly,the cost of a university education can be greatly reduced,while revenues for institutions may increase as more students can be taught.好处2 Finally,online learning offers open access to anybody who is willing to study,regardless of age,location,ability and background.好处3 For example,my uncle,who is 65 years old,has recently enrolled on an online MBA course in a different country,which would have been impossible in the days before Internet-based education.

（主体2段-好处段，给出online university的3个好处）

In conclusion,while I recognise the possible disadvantages of online learning,I consider it to be a positive development overall.

（结尾总结全文）

Some people think children have the freedom to make mistakes,while other people believe that adults should prevent children from making mistakes.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

话题：教育类

类型：双边讨论类

翻译：一些人认为犯错是孩子的自由，家长不应该干涉，另一些人认为，成年人应当阻止孩子犯错误，讨论双边观点给出自己的想法。

1.题目分析：

中英文中我们都有一个说法叫做learn from mistakes,在错误中成长。所以let children fail在很多人心里是一件很有必要的事情Learning from mistakes is an important part of child and adolescent development.

相信各位小伙伴都有成长过程中出错的经历，考试没考好，错怪了好友，运动会上失误等等,对于这些事情的思考和行为的改进，促进了我们的成长。Whether it involves homework,developing friendships or playing a sport,learning is enriched through error.

1)当孩子们犯错误时，Even though it is unpleasant,they learn to reflect on their own actions,manage their emotions,take another’s perspective,solve problems and compromise.如果成年人阻止错误发生，children will miss out all these skill-building opportunities.

2）When children are given the opportunity to struggle and sometimes fail,we allow them to develop important social and emotional skills.成年人的职责可以是去support去guide，孩子们在犯错误和自我对抗困难时候他们的coping and resilience skills can be developed.

我们看到在挫折中成长的小孩往往都比较坚强哈哈，如果小时候被过度保护，长大后很有可能会对错误、困难有恐惧心理When kids don’t have opportunities to fail or struggle,they often have lower self-esteem and under-developed problem–solving skills.They also tend to be more fearful of failure and less willing to take risks or try new things.

但是作为家长，都有对自己孩子的强烈保护欲，As a parent,it is tempting to shield children from failure.而这种干预是否是有利于成长的呢？

这个问题曾经在Quora被讨论过。里面的一个答主说的很到位

It depends on the type of mistake.

If it is a mistake which could cause serious harm to children or might affect them in the long-term,adults should interfere and prevent them from doing it.

小孩子还处在学习的阶段，对于很多事情一知半解，好奇感强，很有可能就会不小心犯下错误，有些错误可能还会伤害到他们自己，有些伤害甚至会波及到日后的生活，对于这种问题毋庸置疑，大人们应该予以阻止。

但是对于哪些不是很严重的问题，还是要放手让孩子去犯错，去经历而Parents’list should be full of ways to nurture,support,teach and provide for their children.

2.范文分析

Some people believe that children should be allowed to make and learn from mistakes,while others think parents’intervention is needed to prevent these mistakes.

结构：开头段：改写题目给出两方观点

好词：intervention-action taken to improve or help a situation-介入（尝试改变或使一个情况变好）比如，政府对经济的干涉the government’s intervention in the economy

On the one hand,it is understandable that watching children making mistakes is painful for most parents.When noticing children falling out with friends or off a climbing frame,parents’instinct is to protect their children.Especially when children are doing something very dangerous,guidance and prevention from parents can help to avoid unnecessary but painful consequences.Under this situation,learning from the mistakes on their own would mean paying prices that are too high to afford.

结构：论证第 一方观点：观点句+递进的展开句+后果总结

两点：给出了具体的例子，especilly前后递进

好词：instinct-本能直觉，例如His first instinct was to run away./I've always trusted my instincts in the past.

On the other hand,children learn important lessons from making mistakes and gain confidence when they spring back from them.Through the process of facing mistakes and finding out solutions,their emotional intelligence can be cultivated as they know what to do in the future,and at the same time,their ability to control anger and frustration,which are the building blocks for coping in life,can be developed.In contrast,when kids don’t have opportunities to fail or struggle,they often have lower self-esteem and underdeveloped problem–solving skills.They also tend to be more fearful of failure and less willing to take risks or try new things.

结构：论证第二方观点：观点句+解释展开+对比

好词：low self-esteem,underdeveloped problem-solving skills

In my opinion,mistakes are unavoidable and they are great sources for children to learn and grow.However,parents do need to consider the severity and frequency of the mistakes to provide proper guidance and protection.

结构:结合上文内容，给出自己立场

好词：severity严重性-the severity of the problem
