第一篇:雅思寫作素材Globalization&travel
1.International travel is becoming cheaper,and countries are opening their doors to more and more tourists.Do the advantages of increased tourism outweigh its disadvantages?
Air travel combined with early retirement and people with money to spend has meant that more and more people can travel the world.Some countries,especially those with famous historical sights and beautiful natural scenery try to attract this large market.While there are some problems that can be caused with all this travel,generally it is a positive thing.Firstly,consider that all these tourists mean money that governments are eager to tap into.For many countries,tourism is a big part of GDP and without it their economies would suffer.Foreign tourists bring important dollars to the service industry and lots of small shops and vendors.Secondly,by encouraging tourism governments are promoting their cities and countries.In my country,China,for example,increased tourism and hosting the Olympics has changed people’s perception of our country.At the same time,tourism allows local people to gain exposure to people from other countries,which is also a good thing.Of course it’s not always a perfect picture.Not all tourists have a good attitude and manners.And in some cases they may even have a negative influence on the local population.But these situations are not so common,and embassies can create tough guidelines for getting a visa.This seems like a reasonable compromise.To conclude,international travel is a great thing,but it is a privilege that should not be abused.Governments should encourage it,but also put in place measures
to keep dangerous people away.This will result in a win-win situation for everyone.2.Tourism is a multibillion dollars industry that supports economic development.Some people think that it causes damage to the local environment and culture.What is your opinion?
Tourism is acknowledged by many people as a multibillion dollar industry.Some people still think that it causes damage to the local environment and culture.I have some
reservations about such a negative view.Many successful experiences demonstrate that the development of tourism can realize the “win-win” of economic development in an area.It can improve the well-being of local inhabitants and provide jobs for many people.Take Hangzhou for example.It earned 237 million dollars through its tourism industry last year.Another case is Suzhou, one of the four key tourist cities of China.In 2006 the city received 20.1 million domestic and foreign visitors.The income from tourism is currently close to RMB 20 million.Another positive example is the large recreational and cultural value of ecosystem services which are now sufficient to attract the local government’sattention and encourages them to plan further development and thereby accelerate a city’s construction.For instance, in the coming three years, RMB 120 million will be injected into Jiuzhaigou,a World Natural Heritage site, to return the area to its original scenic beauty.As well Zhejiang Province has planned to invest 990 million US dollars in the next five years to develop 10 tourist projects on and around the ocean.Furthermore, tourism supports the cross-cultural contact with foreignerspromoting friendship, goodwill and cultural diversity that might otherwise be lacking.In conclusion, our tourist dollars can do much, often unrecognized, good – not only by helping financially, but by placing public value on local culture and heritage.3.Many developing countries are currently expanding their tourist industries.Why is the case? Is it a positive development?
Currently, there is a hot discussion about the reasons why there are developing countries in growing number expanding tourist industries and whether it is a positive development or not.As far as I am concerned, I am convinced that it is a positive development.In this essay, I will make an analysis of the reasons in the following paragraphs.The first and foremost reason is that, tourism, which becomes the principal source of financial revenue in many developing countries, is financially beneficial to the
economic development.For instance, China needs an increasing amount of foreign currencies for its modernization drive.Tourism is one of the most crucial channels to obtain such currencies.Furthermore, tourism facilitates the development of the catering business and transportation service as well.Additionally, tourist industries make primary contribution to the national income and tax revenue.In the second place, tourism provides local habitants in tourist attractions with more opportunities of employment, which has eliminated some social problems to some extent.In the scenic spots, it is common that even the uneducated people can make a living simply by selling souvenirs, local specialties and so on, which relieves the pressure of local government.Last but not least, it is true that tourism contributes a great deal to the friendship and mutual understanding between people from different countries, which will unquestionably enhance the future cooperation in international affairs.Tourism provides people with a good opportunity to have a better understanding of the culture, history and customs in foreign countries.All in all, it is of great benefit for developing countries to promote the tourist industry, for it will play a positive role in both the economic and political development of a country.Globalization 類常用詞匯

第二篇:雅思寫作素材Environmental&resource&animal
1.Some people think animal experimentation should be stopped because it is cruel.Others think it is necessary for the development of science.Discuss both view and give your own opinion.范文 一
Animals were friend of foes of humanity at different times of the human history.In modern times, experiments upon animals have long been a breeding ground for spirited debate.Some animal right activists argue that we should ban animal experiments altogether because putting animals through experimentation is unjustifiable on moral grounds.Yet some other people contend that the advancement of science necessitates animal testing.Personally, I believe both their views have merit and demerit.Granted, empirical evidence suggests that many animal experiments are performed callously without any attention to the discomfort or pain that laboratory mammals endure.First and foremost, improper confinement of test animals such as locking them up in cramped cages is inhumane.It can gravely disrupt natural biological functions of the test animal.Further, the effects of vaccination and vivisection conducted on live mammals can be chilling.They may, in some case, even constitute sheer torture of live animals.However, from a more pragmatic perspective, evidence bounds that animal subjects are still an indispensable part at this point.In the first place, it is manifest that drug experimentation on live mammals is far more effective than experimentation on bacteria or on other lower species in testing drug safety.Drugs that have severe potential side effects on Homo sapiens must be tested by pharmaceutical companies on live mammals first to ascertain their toxicity.In the second place, in space research, live animals are still the only practical alternative to humans in testing living creature reaction to outer-space experience on a flight not considered to be sufficiently safe for human astronauts.Lastly, lab research about the behavioral tendencies of chimpanzees, gorillas and other members of the primate group is also necessary.It produces outcomes consistently advancing anthropological and genetic studies.To conclude, I concede that experiments upon animals may induce suffering to the test animals.However, I am convinced that there are no feasible alternatives to this methodology at the current stage of scientific development.On balance, I think that we should allow animals testing to be continued but at the same time we use techniques such as anesthetic to minimize the pain of the test animal.相關(guān)話題解決

第三篇:雅思寫作素材搜集:教育類
雅思培訓(xùn) http://ielts.longre.com托福培訓(xùn)http://toefl.longre.com雅思寫作素材搜集:教育類一篇文章的內(nèi)容是作者思想與邏輯的體現(xiàn),所以素材之于寫作的重要性而言就像是靈魂。在備考IELTS寫作的過程中,除了最基礎(chǔ)的語法和詞匯問題外,面對作文題海論點闡述時,很多學(xué)生會不知所措,心中沒有底,在面對自己不熟悉的TOPIC時更是如此。其實雅思寫作的TOPIC雖然很多,但其中很多話題都有相似性(Similarity),對于同一個話題里的題目,更是有異曲同工之妙。對于同一類話題的寫作題目,考試的出題都具有相似性,新題都是從老題衍生出來的。所以,朗閣海外考試研究中心建議考生們在準(zhǔn)備作文時,要對同一個話題的常規(guī)考題進行整理,這樣即使考試中遇到陌生的話題,我們也能把它們往熟悉的話題里套。本文中,我們將以教育類話題為例進行總結(jié)。
1.教育應(yīng)該包括哪些內(nèi)容?
母題:It is generally believed that education is of vital importance to the
development of individuals and the well-being of societies.What should education consist of to fulfill both these functions?(050312)
提示:本題圍繞教育的兩大功能來展開(個人與社會),準(zhǔn)備好這篇文章,即可應(yīng)付教育類話題中的最大分支—教育的功能,做到以不變應(yīng)萬變。對于社會角度,可以從促進經(jīng)濟發(fā)展、增加社會流動性(social mobility)、維護社會穩(wěn)定這幾個方面來展開;對于個人,可以從改變思維模式、有利于就業(yè)和便利生活來寫。
子題:大學(xué)應(yīng)當(dāng)教授理論知識還是實踐技能?大學(xué)應(yīng)當(dāng)把學(xué)生培養(yǎng)成合格的公民還是讓他們自己得益?準(zhǔn)備未來職業(yè)最好的方法是上大學(xué)還是盡快離校積累工作經(jīng)驗?大學(xué)要不要擴招?中學(xué)階段應(yīng)當(dāng)提供通才教育還是專才教育?要不要延長義務(wù)教育年限?要不要讓農(nóng)村地區(qū)的學(xué)生更容易上學(xué)?老師要教學(xué)生如何判斷是非嗎?
2.學(xué)校的科目誰來選擇?
母題:Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer.Discuss the two views and give your opinion.(060916)
提示:這類題目采取的策略就是“雙批判”,因為題目中提供的兩種選擇往往都是錯誤的。
子題1: 政府選課or老師選課?學(xué)生選擇所有的科目or根據(jù)興趣自行選擇?
子題2: 只有學(xué)術(shù)科目重要,體育和音樂這樣的課不重要,你同意嗎?要不要學(xué)國際新聞?要不要學(xué)歷史?要不要中學(xué)階段就學(xué)習(xí)外語?要不要學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)哲學(xué)這類科目?
提示:子題2與母題聯(lián)系不大,需要準(zhǔn)備這些科目各自的優(yōu)點。
3.什么樣的教學(xué)方式最好?
母題:Many people use distance-learning programmes(study material post, TV, Internet, etc.)to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the benefit as much as attending college or university.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?(041113, 081023, 100515)
提示:遠(yuǎn)程教育最大的好處就在于三個any: anybody, anywhere, any time.缺點是缺乏師生之間以及學(xué)生之間的interaction, 缺乏教師的moral guidance, 因為沒有體育課且久坐電腦前,會引發(fā)健康問題。
子題:私立學(xué)校好不好?留學(xué)好不好?要不要分快慢班?小組學(xué)習(xí)還是單獨學(xué)習(xí)好?
4.誰來為學(xué)費買單?
母題:Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole.To what extent do you agree or disagree?(100731)
提示:這些話題都有一個共同的特征:高等教育只對學(xué)生自己有好處,因此學(xué)生應(yīng)當(dāng)自行為高等教育買單。這類題目的寫法非常有規(guī)律,先駁斥這種理由,再交代學(xué)生自己支付學(xué)費的后果就可以了。
子題:政府要為學(xué)生買單嗎?(缺點是給政府帶來經(jīng)濟負(fù)擔(dān),這類話題的寫法和其它政府類話題一樣)
5.孩子們要不要參加社會實踐?
母題:Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university.What are the advantages and disadvantages?(030308, 050514, 090926)
提示:gap year的好處就是能夠鍛煉各種能力,缺點就是容易受到社會惡習(xí)的影響,誤入歧途。
子題:要不要參加無償社會勞動?要不要畢業(yè)去農(nóng)村鍛煉?要不要從小遠(yuǎn)離父母居?。?/p>
6.家庭教育
母題:Some people say that children should obey the rules of their parents and teachers, while other people think children will not be well-prepared for their adult life if they are given too much control.Discuss in both sides and you’re your opinion.(041120, 100520)
提示:寫一下各自的好處就可以了,最后的結(jié)論是早年的時候要教授他們明辨是非,對于做錯的事情要懲罰,但是也要適可而止,讓其興趣愛好得到自由發(fā)展。
子題:窮人家的孩子是否早當(dāng)家?家長是否應(yīng)該為五歲小孩的犯錯負(fù)責(zé)?要不要趁早把小孩送到學(xué)校去?老師對兒童的智力和社會發(fā)展所起的作用大于家長嗎?同齡人壓力(peer pressure)的利弊?
雅思考試都有一個循環(huán)的寫作題庫,分類整理好每個話題的素材是寫出一篇高效有質(zhì)量的作文的前提。只有平時善于積累善于總結(jié),抓住寫作的靈魂,才能讓復(fù)習(xí)事半功倍,才能在考試中得心應(yīng)手。
第四篇:雅思寫作的牛人整理的寫作素材!
雅思大作文的寫作最重要,但是小作文也很重要,不能一直放的小作文不看,因為小作文如果寫的不流暢,老是思考,不能在20分鐘內(nèi)寫完,就會嚴(yán)重影響大作文的質(zhì)量。
寫雅思作文一定要知道換說法,一個意思同樣的說法最好不要出現(xiàn)第二遍,這當(dāng)然需要積累不同的句型和短語,比如文章后面給的寫好處的句子要記得換著用!大作文要得高分,倒裝句、插入語、強調(diào)句、復(fù)合句和同位語至少各用一次!下面心得分享給各位~
1、關(guān)于模板:雅思作文模板還是很有用的,但不是已有書上的模板,大家都知道的那些模板和句型最好少用。因為雅思作文一共五大類,我一般練得都是兩邊倒的作文,自己有準(zhǔn)備一個模板,除了問原因解決類的作文外都可以用同一個模板,所以要練得比較熟,一般寫作文都要用自己的模板,最好是總結(jié)兩個模板就萬無一失!
2、基本上一天看一篇《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》的文章,總結(jié)不會的單詞、短語和句型,因為上面的文章都是老外寫的,所以文章非常地道,好句子很多
3、關(guān)于寫作文:我一共寫了十篇左右的大作文,小作文要每種至少練一篇吧,快考試前一個星期我用專門的雅思考試寫作紙卡時間,大小作文一起一起寫,寫了4套!
大作文不在于要練的很多,但是要刻意的改進。寫完一篇文章后要自己改一遍,把看的出來的語法和單詞錯誤改了,還要看論據(jù)合不合理,再把看過的好的句型刻意套進去 第一篇作文我寫了一個半小時才寫完,當(dāng)時真是把所有能用的上的好句子和詞組都盡量往里套,第一篇要是半小時之內(nèi)寫完就是混的沒好好寫。
盡快把能用的上的寫作資料背熟,這樣寫作時間自然會減少,小作文必須20分鐘搞定,如果你的模板和句子用的熟,大作文也會很流暢,我的雅思考試作文寫了滿滿的2頁考試紙后,又要了一張寫了一半,還把小作文檢查了一遍
4、除此之外,總結(jié)了四種句型,開頭句型,寫好處的句型,寫壞處的句型和解決問題類句型。因為所有的雅思議論文題目基本上都是要討論一個問題的好的方面和壞的方面,所以這樣的句式要準(zhǔn)備幾個(不用太多),而且確定自己背的很熟,最好是每篇文章都換的多用,達到用的靈活自如,在這里與大家做一下分享,往下看~
好句總結(jié):
多用such替換the ,a 例:Admittedly, such issue ,to some extent,has given rise to a bunch of familiar questions.(模板的第3段開頭)

第五篇:雅思寫作
翻開劍橋系列教材后面考官所給的范文評析,大家會發(fā)現(xiàn)考官的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)一般都從如下四個方面展開:內(nèi)容(content)、組織結(jié)構(gòu)(organization)、詞匯(vocabulary)和句式(sentence structure)。同時,據(jù)筆者的長期觀察,高分雅思作文無一例外地在這四方面有好的演繹才能獲得考官親睞?!昂玫淖魑拇蠖际窍嗨频模恍业淖魑膮s各有各的不幸。”下面,筆者將從以上四方面一一闡述烤鴨們寫作時存在的盲點所在并提出相應(yīng)的建議。
一、內(nèi)容(content):切中主題,自圓其說
盲點1:無話可說
這類考生在看到題目時,最初的感覺是腦袋中一片空白。雅思作文題材廣泛,包括科技、教育、健康、環(huán)保、犯罪、文化傳統(tǒng)、時尚、體育運動、動物保護等。而且由于文化差異以及學(xué)習(xí)工作的緣故,日常生活中考生極少接觸到這類話題,更不用說對它有什么想法了。
盲點1擊破:四多原則
多看范文;多關(guān)注時事,觀察生活;多與人交流;多記錄自己的想法。比較極端的做法是花三天三夜沉浸在范文書當(dāng)中,分領(lǐng)域熟悉雅思考題及其觀點。當(dāng)感覺自己腦袋中涌現(xiàn)出無數(shù)ideas時,關(guān)上書,寫出自己能夠想出來的各個領(lǐng)域的觀點,如果某個領(lǐng) 域發(fā)生短路,翻開書重新閱讀,直至能夠?qū)懗鰜頌橹埂?/p>
盲點2:千言萬語
這類考生往往見多識廣,看到話題時感到倚馬千言??墒怯捎谠~匯量和邏輯方面有所欠缺。往往面臨“滿腹的心里話不知怎么說”的尷尬。
盲點2擊破:詞以類記原則
此類考生要分領(lǐng)域積累雅思寫作詞匯,如在寫肥胖問題時,考生需要積累(obese, overweight, coronary heart disease, stroke, heredity, inheritance, junk food, carnivorous, excessive drinking and smoking, couch potato, diabetes, a balanced diet, vegetarian等。)
盲點3:標(biāo)新立異
這類考生認(rèn)為論點或論據(jù)越新穎越好,力求與眾不同。
盲點3擊破:自圓其說原則
雅思考試畢竟是語言能力測試,詞匯、語法和句式才是測試重點。況且,考官閱卷數(shù)載,見多識廣,你的觀點很有可能已經(jīng)無法構(gòu)成他的興奮點,所以我們講究論點論據(jù)
言之有理,能夠自圓其說即可。
盲點4:真情流露
這類考生和“千言萬語”型考生神似,唯一的不同便是他們英文表達暢通無阻,寫作時有“黃河之水,延綿不絕”之勢。但興奮之時,有些忘乎所以,與主題漸行漸遠(yuǎn)。
盲點4擊破:切中主題原則
這類考生必須建立自己的一套邏輯框架,并嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行。如在寫argumentation類題型時,全文四段:“第一段為背景介紹和提出論點段;第二段為己方觀點論證段;第三段為讓步段;第四段總結(jié)段。切忌任何與主題無關(guān)或相悖的雞肋出現(xiàn)。
二、組織結(jié)構(gòu)(organization):起承轉(zhuǎn)合,行云流水
盲點1:天馬行空
這類考生和“千言萬語”型考生神似,寫作時缺乏自己的一套寫作框架。有時,盡管有全文框架,段落框架又缺失,通常表現(xiàn)為主體段內(nèi)部的分論點或分論據(jù)存在邏輯上的重復(fù)或沖突。
盲點1擊破:起承轉(zhuǎn)合原則
除了段落之間應(yīng)存在“第一段(起)為背景介紹和提出論點段;第二段(承)為己方觀點論證段;第三段(轉(zhuǎn))為讓步段;第四段(合)總結(jié)段?!钡倪壿嬁蚣苤猓温鋬?nèi)部每一句也需要有這樣的邏輯框架來約束,如讓步段中:“some people may argue that ?(起);because they maintain that ?。(承);However ,they are oversimplifying the situation, in fact ?.。(轉(zhuǎn));Therefore , I believe ?。(合)
盲點2:單句游離
這類烤鴨寫出來的句子與句子之間沒有連接詞,有時就算有,邏輯連詞也使用錯誤。或者是標(biāo)點不注意。最常見使用錯誤諸如on the other hand。它連接的是轉(zhuǎn)折,卻無數(shù)次被誤解成遞進。
盲點2擊破:行云流水原則
考生應(yīng)準(zhǔn)確記憶并正確使用各種邏輯關(guān)系詞,力求做到行云流水,常見的邏輯連詞有:
因果關(guān)系:
因:As since due to owning to
果:hence thus therefore as a consequence as a result
表目的:thereby
舉例關(guān)系:Take for example, For instance, To illustrate, As an apt illustration ,對比關(guān)系:While ,whilst, whereas, by contrast。
讓步關(guān)系:despite ,in spite of , not with standing , nonetheless, even though,Provided that , if
三、詞匯(vocabulary):同義改寫,百花齊放
盲點1 : 遭遇生詞
大部分考生苦惱的地方莫過于此,寫作過程中無數(shù)次由于生詞的關(guān)系而短路。
盲點1擊破:同義改寫原則
其實考生對不認(rèn)識的詞完全可以paraphrase,如望子成龍,望女成鳳完全可以寫成:All parents expect their children to have a promising further。
注意:對于各個領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的專有名詞我們鼓勵大家履行詞以類記原則,畢竟只有語言水平較高的烤鴨才可能做到用簡單的詞匯解釋難詞。如有同學(xué)在解釋寄生蟲(parasite)在他筆下成了” something that is very tiny and lives on my skin and sucks my blood without doing any work”!這樣的paraphrase 只能讓考官啼笑皆非。
盲點2:同義重現(xiàn)
如在discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the internet時,有考生作文中曾出現(xiàn)了不下10次的advantages and disadvantages。這會讓考官出現(xiàn)極嚴(yán)重的審美疲勞,分?jǐn)?shù)自然不高。
盲點2擊破: 百花齊放原則
其實考生在平時的習(xí)作中應(yīng)注意近義詞、反義詞、衍生詞的積累,并不斷練習(xí)。如上面的advantages的同義詞為benefits gains merits pros等;disadvantages的同義詞有downsides ,weakness, drawbacks cons等。
盲點3:大詞連篇
很多考生認(rèn)為大詞生僻詞匯用得越多,得分就越高。
盲點3擊破:整體協(xié)調(diào)原則
看到劍橋系列教材大家會發(fā)現(xiàn),考官給出的范文大詞生詞寥寥可數(shù),真正有說服力的是你用的詞能夠準(zhǔn)確無誤的表達你的思想。試想一個語法錯誤連篇的考生盲目地使用各種生僻詞匯來堆砌文章,這無疑給考官造成一種“暴發(fā)戶”般的強烈視覺沖擊,最后只能適得其反。所以,用詞上我們講究與內(nèi)容以及句式結(jié)構(gòu)整體協(xié)調(diào)的原則。
三、句式(sentence structure):長短結(jié)合,錯落有致
盲點1:長篇累牘
和用詞上的大詞連篇一樣,部分考生以能使用各種復(fù)雜的長難句為榮。
盲點1擊破:長短結(jié)合原則
事實上,如果大家有看劍橋后面的范文的話,會發(fā)現(xiàn)長難句并不象絕大多數(shù)同學(xué)想象得那般高深。通常的情況是長短句結(jié)合使用,而且論點通常用短句,而論據(jù)則長句居多。
盲點2:短小精悍
和長篇累牘型考生相反的是短小精悍型考生,為了保險起見,這類考生作文中充滿了簡單的is/am/are的主系表和主謂賓句型。
盲點2擊破:靈活多變原則
這類考生如果能稍稍變得aggressive一些,他們將是考場上最大的“黑馬”。如以Parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability這個簡單句為例,通過強調(diào)句型的包裝我們得到:
It is children’s score that parents and teachers often link to their academic ability rather than other qualifications。
通過倒裝句的包裝我們可以得到:
So important is children’s score that parents and teachers often link them to children’s academic ability。
通過插入語的包裝我們可以得到:
Scores , as is known to everyone ,are often linked to children’s academic ability by teachers and parents。
通過分詞短語的包裝我們可以得到:
Based on the conception that scores tells everything, parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability。
???
通過如此靈活的加工和包裝,你會發(fā)現(xiàn),簡單句經(jīng)過稍稍潤色原來也可以如此光彩照人,這要比無數(shù)大詞生僻詞堆砌形成的長難句更加贏得考官的青睞。
總之,掌握了如上原則,再加上持之以恒的練習(xí),考生一定能在Task 2中獲得自己滿意的分?jǐn)?shù)。(編
