Children can learn effectively from watching television. Therefore children should be encouraged to watch television regularly both at home and at school. Do you agree or disagree?
UK children watch an average of more than two and a half hours of television a day. It fuels a debate whether children should be encouraged to watch television regularly both at home and at school. I disagree with the recommendation that watching television should be a regular activity at school and at home, as this would produce more negative outcomes than positive ones.
It is true that TV is of immense value to serve as a kind of educational tool. Compared with books, TV provides both visual and audio input at the same time and therefore can effectively enhance learning. A good illustration is that some scientific programs like Discovery or Geography are good source of inspiration and may open the door of wisdom and arouse learning interest in the young minds. Nevertheless, we cannot justify that children should be encouraged to watch television regularly because we cannot dismiss the defects brought to children by watching too much television.
The biggest concern is that too much television lessons TV viewers’ creativity and imagination. Being bombarded with TV images, their own ability to form imaginative pictures becomes severely impaired since they absorb information passively. As a result, it served nothing but stifled their creativity, imagination and critical thinking.
In addition, increased screen time is detrimental both physically and psychologically. It is a common belief that too much television could contribute to sedentary way of living, known as a couch potato, which is a contributing factor to the current epidemic of childhood obesity. And there are other psychosocial problems associated with excess screen time, which develops when young people spend too much time on social media sites and then begin to exhibit classic symptoms of depression. Last but not the least, increased exposure to television could poison c hildren’s innocent mind, arouse one’s violent impulse and mislead one’s life outlook.
In conclusion, I think the main point here is not to ban or discourage children from watching TV completely, but to make sure that they do not watch too much TV or watch TV indiscriminately. Therefore it is strongly suggested that children spend a limited time in front of TV. Besides, parents and teachers should give guidance to children as for the contents they are watching.

第一段： 1.nowadays, an increasing number of people are concerned about the purpose that university education serves. 2.However, whether they should mainly provide job-related skills or pure knowledge to graduates has caused heated debate. 3.My view is that practical skills should be the main focus of universities. 第二段： 4.to start with, there is no denying that the purpose of receiving education is to obtain knowledge and skills, which will enable the graduates to become qualified employees in the future job market. （第一原因） 5.this is becausemost of them, after graduation, will enter workplace, earn a living, and support their own families. . （进一步阐释） 6.in view of this, universities, as service providers, have to give top priority to the students real needs. （观点成立） 第三段 7.moreover, focusing on the job related skills can benefit the university itself. （第二观点） 8.a typical example is that 3D technology has become aheatedtopic after the Avatar made the world crazy. （举例说明） 9.if a university can quickly respond and consolidate teaching resources to offer courses about 3D, not only will its graduates bemore competitive in the job market, but the university itself will keep pace with the technological development and more forward. （例证解释说明） 第四段： 10.however, there are also arguments supportingthe opinion that universities should only offer knowledge to students for its own sake. （反方观点） 11.it is evident that, if studentsare interested in these theoretical knowledge, they probably become scientists and scholars, who will make greater contribution to the society. （反方观点合理性） 12.Despite that, there students are few/the minority and most of them are more concerned with job-related skills. （驳斥反方观点） 13.consequently, theoretical knowledge should not be put in the first place by universities. （观点小结） 第五段 14.in sum, the major function of universities should be providing students job-related skills, guaranteeing high rate of employment, and thus making the society function well.

The government has to pay for his care. Who should be responsible for our old people? Give reasons for your answer. Example 2 Band 8 One of the most challenging problems of today’s society is the question about who should be responsible for our old people. It is not only a problem with money but also a question of the system we want our society to have. In my essay, I would like to present four possible models. Firstly, the company could be responsible for its retired employees. To do this, a special fund could be established. The advantage of this model is that if one believes in the capitalist system, it should be the cheapest solution. One possible problem is that the companies may have competition disadvantage due to higher staff costs. A second solution is that the government has to take the responsibility for the old people’s care. It can finance this with its tax in comes. Actually, this is the most democratic model since everybody gets as much money as he or she needs. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this solution seems not to work very well.

雅思写作冲刺 时间：一个小时，无法超时 上午九点考试，写作往往是11点开始考。一般学生考到这里的时候就蒙了。雅思写作考试是国内考试时间最长的一个，比托福等都长。 图表作文只占了1/3的分数，那议论文就占了2/3。 G类也要按A类要求去做。 Academic writing 的特殊要求 1.Some teachers don't know how to use computers to help the students effectively. 不能用缩写，凡是用了缩写的都是业余选手，专业选手必须要用，do not.. Shouldn't 也是错的，特别提醒大家，cannot 中间没有空格。如果你不相信我说的话，我建议你可以翻下剑5剑6，一个缩写你都找不到。 2.Historic buildings attracts lots of visitors and can improve local economy. 大家觉得哪个是口语词汇。其中lots of 是特别口语化词汇，可以用numerous或者a host of 这两个单词修饰可数名词。A great deal of 不可数。 3.The impact of tourism on these neighbourhoods should be analyzed. 下次你看到任何-ze 结尾的都是美式英语，-se 结尾的都是英式英语，而这里的neighbourhood 是英式英语，而neighborhood是美式英语，有些同学会问是不是雅思考试当中只能用英式英语呢？不是这样的，在剑桥6中明确说了可以用英语或美式，但两者不能混合使用。我建议大家-our -se 是英式的，-or -ze 是美式的，这两者的区别是最常见的，其他的我们就没有必要掌握了。 4.Children in wealthy families are more and more depend on their parents.这里哪里不像学术写作呢。More and more ,给大家推荐一个词，increasingly. 5.Serious crimes harm people's lives. 雅思针对的母语是非英语的人，大家看考官的作文也不是很难。但这里serious 高中词汇，crime harm 初中词汇，people 和life 就是小学词汇了，给大家推荐一个severe, criminal act, damage destroy, impair people's health, human being 这个词太大，不建议使用，individual 6.The advantages of stopping animal experiments are more than continuing them.其中more than 换成outweigh 7.Today, advertisements are everywhere. There are many ways to advertisements. 简单句不适用，中间加个连词即可。 8.The environment is becoming worse. We must work together to deal with it. 因果关系，加because 就很一般了哈，加个therefore. 9.So, we must take steps to deal with the environment problem! So 换成therefore,大家在写作中，千万不要用这么有激情的句子哈，好的雅思作文必定是冷静推理的来的，所以，感叹号去掉，还有，must 换成should. 10.We must be friendly to others because the Bible said, "treat your neighbours as you would like to be treated." 不能出现宗教语言。 大作文，40分钟，最低要求240字，要求考高分的同学，建议270-280，7分以上的同学，我建议300字以上。 大家刚看了雅思真题库，不知道大家判断出了自己认为难的部分。但是如果没有素材的话，你再好的基础都无法体现出来。 Tourism Education Government Women and families Language and culture Technology and the media Development and globalization Crime Animals Environmental problems 雅思不会出时事类的话题，只出争议比较大的话题。 常见的词汇，常见的句式都可以通用。 推荐大家掌握思考方法 A.分类法

雅思写作Task1曲线图考官范文(1) 这是一篇雅思写作Task1曲线图考官范文。认真研读一定的雅思范文及作文模板可以帮助我们检验自己的写作水平，并能很好地吸收和应用优秀范文里的优秀内容。 The graphs below show the numbers of male and female workers in 1975 and 1995 in several employment sectors of the republic of Freedonia. Write a report for a university teacher describing the information shown.
Sample Answer: The provided line graphs compare the employment history of men and women in 1975 and 1995 dividing in six major sectors namely: manufacturing, communications, finance/ banking, wholesale & retail trade, non-defence public sectors and defence public sectors. As is observed from the given illustration, significant changes have been made in women's employment and women appear to have made remarkable improvements in almost the entire job sectors in Freedonia and in some sectors women went well ahead of men. Initially in 1975, men were notably ahead of women in every sector of employment. For example, in communication sector about 260 men worked against 220 women in every thousand employees. Twenty years later, though the number of men remained unchanged, the number of women rose to over 550 in one thousand. A similar trend can be seen in the wholesale and retail trade sector, where the number of women rose from about 550 to almost 800 in every 1000 employees of this sector two decades later. The number of men in this sector remained stable over the period, at around 700 / thousand.
