雅思真题回忆：2011年11⽉26雅思⼤作⽂ People in developing countries are happier than before while people in developed countries are no happier than they used to be. Why? What lesson can you learn from it? 话题好像是问为什么在已开发的富国⼈民不如以前快乐，⽽相对的，在开发中的⼈民却是⽐以前快乐？⼜问从这种情形学得什么教训？ 2011年11⽉26⽇雅思⼤作⽂范⽂ Financially speaking, people are supposed to be happier when their incomes exceed expenses, but the reverse seems to be happening to many people in some developed countries. In comparison, people in some developing countries with a much lower measure of per capita income appear to be happier in what they are actually able to buy within their earnings. The message seems clear enough: higher living standards do not necessarily add to happiness but excessive spending can certainly undermine it. It is hard to tell what does bring happiness when wealth may ironically fail as much as poverty. In countries full of comforts and luxuries, there are chances that people are beginning to count their troubles in the presence of rising living costs. This is very unlike people in developing countries who make positive sense of life by counting blessings and joys. Even in rich countries, life may become more stressful and less enjoyable under the pressure of increasingly higher living standards from time to time. What is worse, job security is already a major concern particularly among less skilled employees who are nervous about impending layoffs. Besides, the reality of financial crisis is spreading from one developed country to another, further complicating the difficult situation and fueling the anger of many less happy people. People in most developing countries have reasons to feel happier than before, probably because they live their lives forward. Being relatively poor, they are happier in knowing who they really are, then doing what they need to do in order to have what they want. To them happiness is more like a direction for motivation than a place for leisure. Also, they are more capable of recognizing and appreciating what they do have. In short, they feel happier exactly because they do not expect too much happiness. This mentality is different from people in developing countries who have large incomes but also large expenses, often resulting in negative balance sheets. In sum, the only way to avoid being unhappy in life, whether referring to a developed country or a developing country, is to have happy thoughts about living within their means and having something to hope for. Per capita income can no longer be the only measure for economic happiness, judging from the fact that people in developed countries are not as happy as they used to be. Without any doubt, the lesson about being happy is for an individual as well as for a country to perform a balancing act between incomes and expenses. 【稿件说明】为了让⼤家第⼀时间分享考试真题，因为本⽂为模糊回忆2011年11⽉26⽇⼤作⽂试题，也许与真题原⽂稍有出⼊，敬请谅解。

阅读使人快乐，成长需要时间2011年雅思大作文题目汇总持续更新中(2011.1.22A&G)There are an increasing number of anti-social behaviors in recent years; People generally believe that the society is to blame. What do you think the causes are and who is responsible for this（反社会，犯罪）Anti-social behavior represents the disrespect to society, which occurs mainly in the form of crimes. This phenomenon stems from our social context, but there are also many other contributing factors.The causes behind the rise of anti-social behaviors are complicated, but the fundamental one is that our society is lacking in the law awareness among common people. Education should teach people to judge right and wrong, and also to obey the social order. But today’s schools and universities focus on the cramming of theoretical knowledge as well as working skills. This leads to the lack of law education form most of people.On the other hand, there exists the practice that some anti-social behaviors are not severely punished, that is to say, people may misunderstand that the cost of wrong-doings is low. Thus there will be no deterrence for those potential criminals or gangsters. What’s more, economic factors also play a part. Briefly, the occurrence of some anti-social behaviors can be attributed to the widening income gap.谁应该对此负责？根据以上原因，与此对应的（1）the government should be responsible for this phenomenon. And schools and universities should promote law awareness. (2) citizens should also obey the law and regulations.明确一个理念，社会犯罪的增加，固然有社会的原因，但是从主观角度来说，犯罪主体也是有很大的责任的。
