雅思培训丨雅思写作教育类话题分析朗阁雅思培训中心王爽教育话题一直以来都是雅思大作文写作的重中之重。
在去年全年的雅思考试中,教育类和工作类话题占比达到了将近40%。
而且,很多话题就算不是教育类话题,也可能有相应的分论点与教育有着一定的关系。
所以,若要准备雅思大作文写作,教育话题肯定是首先要进行准备的。
下面是笔者根据过去5年的雅思考题,总结出来的考得最多的关于雅思教育类话题的题目。
1. What kinds of subjects should students learn in school/university?2. Is school/university education helpful to students in finding their jobs?3. Who should pay for the educational costs?第一道题目主要涉及的容是学生应该在学校学习什么课程。
在一般的考试中,重点并非是一些academic subjects的考察,而更多的是一些非学术类科目的重要性的探讨,比如很多题目都涉及到一些科目,如艺术,体育,课外活动等是否重要。
第二道题目指的是大学的学习是否对以后的工作有帮助,这里主要可能涉及到大学的专业知识学习是否有用,大学是否能够很好地让学生们应对今后的工作。
第三道题目主要涉及到了教育花费的问题,应该由谁来付这笔费用,应该是政府来付,还是学生自己,还是其他的渠道。
针对这三个大的方面,朗阁雅思培训中心的专家将从以下几个分论点方面来剖析教育类话题。
1. 很多中学的课程里所教授的科目知识还是非常有用的,虽然可能对以后的工作生活没有什么直接的帮助,但是包含了很多常识,而这些常识与人们的生活是息息相关的。
The fundamental academic knowledge and skills learnt in high school often e in handy for students in their everyday life. Understanding a foreign language offers tourists better traveling experiences since they can municate and interact with locals directly. Knowledge of electric circuits may help people repair broken appliances or fix short-circuits at home without seeking assistance from professionals. What one learns in biology class is effective in protecting oneself from unhealthy food products such as junk food or desserts served in unsanitary street stalls.Argument development:考生可以说这些在高中学习到的知识和技能能够用到日常生活的方方面面。
在展开过程中,可以举出三个例子:首先,学习好一门外语可以让游客有更好的旅游体验,因为他们可以用外语跟当地人很好地交流。
第二个例子是学习好物理知识,学生们以后如果遇到家里电器坏了之类的小的电路问题时,完全可以自己解决,很好地节省了相关的费用。
第三个例子是生物课或者化学课学的知识可以让我们知道哪些食品不健康,不能吃路边摊的食品等,避免对我们的健康造成危害。
Takeaways:●fundamental knowledgefundamental: 基本的,根本的Example: The desire to achieve world peace and human solidarity remains the fundamental message sent by the military parade staged by China on the Victory Day's celebration.● e in handyhandy: 方便的,顺手的Example: The New Horizons probe may appear to yield few immediate benefits, but the data transmitted back by the device may e in handy for astrophysicists who hope to corroborate their advanced theories with evidences and further unravel mysteries that have continued to puzzle them.●fix short-circuitsfix: 修理,修补Example: The package of fix for Windows 10 made available by Microsoft soon after the release of the new operating system seems a penny short and a minute late.serve foodsserve: 提供食物,为...服务,起到...作用/service n.Example: Those Afro-American veterans who had served their country in the World War II failed to be treated as well as their white counterparts were.2. 课外活动的参与可以丰富学生们的业余生活,并且可以让他们学习到新的东西,扩展社交圈Active participation in extra-curricular activities can widen/broaden one's social circle and diversify their personal interests. Those interested in drama performance, for example, could seize this opportunity to get an insider's view of how drama performance is staged and rehearsed from the beginning to the end; those in the cross country club will probably start to recognize and appreciate the perseverance and hard work it takes for athletes to eventually rise to international fame and success. Students have a greater chance of meeting those who share identical interests and hobbies.Argument development:这里展开说到了参加课外活动能够发展学生的社交圈,并且开阔他们的视野和兴趣。
比如说,那些对表演非常感兴趣的人可以抓住这个机会更深入地了解戏剧是怎么排练的;那些参加越野长跑俱乐部的人会最终理解那些成功的运动员在为夺取荣誉的过程中所付出的努力。
通过这些课外活动,学生们可以很好地认识那些与自己志同道合的人。
Takeaways:●active participationparticipation: 参与Example: Lack of employee participation in the key decision-making process is partly held responsible for the lackluster performance of Mi in recent years.●diversify personal interestsdiversify: 分散,广泛化Example: Microsoft's reckless rush into diversification into Surface Pro and Windows Phone business backfired as vast investment required for business diversification seriously cut into the resources available for the research in its newoperating system.●seize the opportunityseize: 抓住Example: The western countries seize every opportunity to accuse China of its unwarranted assertion of military prowess in South China and failure to maintain sound multilateral ties with its neighboring countries.●get an insider's view of somethinginsider: 部人员的,专业的Example: This book offers an insider's guide on how to prepare for IELTS exam.●have a greater chance of doing sochance: 几率,机会Example: Although the odds are stacked against the team, they remain convinced that there is a chance that they will eventually emerge victoriously.3. 现在的学费非常贵,很多家庭负担不起。
所以,如果学生能够做兼职工作的话,不仅能够负担这些学费,而且也能了解外面的世界,获得相关的工作经验。
