Task：Some people think getting old is entirely bad. However, others think that life of the elderly in modern world is much easier than in the past. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 思路解析： 2016年雅思收官之战的作文来了一道新题，问当今社会老年人的生活是不是很 糟糕?说是新题，因为本题以前从未原题出现过，但关于年龄的话题却不缺少。 比如2010年7月10日“年轻人是否适合担任政府要职”，2012年3月10日“老 龄化现象的原因及解决方法”，2012年3月31日“年轻人和老年人谁的价值更 高?”，2013年6月8日“政府是否应该对老年人养老提供财政支持?”，2015 年1月1日“年轻人当领导，行不行?”，2015年4月11日“老年人与年轻人 争夺工作职位，怎么办?”等等。 本题需要论证的对立观点是：年老很糟糕 vs. 当今社会年老没有那么糟糕。那 么，变老有哪些坏处呢?首先，当然是身体条件没有以前好了，甚至可能出现多 种疾病(物质层面);其次，不工作了，与人的联系少了，心里可能会感觉孤单， 甚至感觉没有价值了(精神层面);最后，变老后对社会的依赖程度更高，给社会 增加了压力(社会层面)。那么，这些问题在当今社会是不是得到了解决呢?首先， 医疗条件的改善有助于保持老年人的身体状况;互联网的出现有助于缓解老年人 的心理孤单问题;物质水平的提高也降低了老年人给社会造成的压力。如此观之， 现代社会老年人的生活的确容易多了，但我的观点是：外部条件只是改善老年人 生活的一个方面，最重要的还是老年人自己要积极调整心态，努力适应退休后的 生活，从而过一个更幸福更祥和的晚年。 Sample answer： Getting old is a natural process that nobody really likes. When you reach a certain age, your physical conditions will inevitably deteriorate, and you may suffer from various kinds of diseases. When you retire, you will feel isolated because your previous work contacts may be all gone, then you may feel useless to the world. Furthermore, when you get too old, you’ ll have to rely heavily on the support from others, either physically or emotionally, and your life will become a great pressure to your family and the whole society as well. For all these bad things about getting old, many people argue that the life of the elderly today is much easier than in the past. In the first place, medical advances nowadays have made it possible for the old people to stay sound and healthy for quite a long while even after they retire. Diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and heart attack which might have

历年雅思写作高频题目汇总与分析 雅思写作有题库，又称为机经，在雅思培训界包括对众多雅思考生来说并不是什么新鲜事。话说机经这个概念也是最早从美国研究生考试之一的GRE考试中借鉴过来，并广泛应用到各大出国类考试当中的。即便对于刚刚涉足雅思领域的考生们，在网上下载一份近十多年来的每场雅思考试的作文题目并不是什么困难的事情。每当考试前，众多雅思届的大神们就根据以往所总结的出题规律，对机经范围加以压缩，从而形成小范围的机经预测，所预测的写作题目数量也是从十几道到几十道题目不等。但是，一直以来，这种雅思写作机经的小范围预测对于考生来说，效果并不是很好，甚至有些不尽如人意。仔细分析，其原因有三。首先，机经的数量非常庞大，有几百道题目，就算准备时间再充分的学生，也不可能将每个题目，甚至说大多数的题目都一一进行准备。而就算小范围的预测，往往也是数十道题目。而且，范围越小的预测往往离考试时间越接近。这就说明了在实际操作过程中，考生并没有可能将所有的题目都准备完。而大多数考生面对写作机经的做法更多的是准备一小部分，碰碰运气，看最终能否压中题目。所以，效果自然不好。其次，现在雅思写作的新题数量非常多，所以根据机经来预测题目的可靠度和可信度大打折扣。其实，雅思官方已经意识到了中国学生通过机经来走捷径的形式，所以在考试中加入了很多新题，从而避免对那些没有准备机经的学生造成不公平。最后，很多时候，就算雅思官方用的是旧题，但只要对一些关键词稍作修改，考生所需要写的内容就必须做出适当的改变，否则就会有跑题的危险。比如说广告的影响和广告对孩子的影响肯定不可能是同样的分论点，同样的例子。如果考生一看题目类似，在些许的激动之下，套用了机经范文的内容的话，就会偏题，分数自然会偏低。 那么，在这样的情况下，是不是说整理机经就没有用了？往年的考题对现在的雅思考生来说是不是就没有任何的参考价值了呢？答案当然是否定的。雅思话题基本上已经涵盖了人们生活的方方面面，即使再出新题，也是寻求一个新的角度而已，并不太可能（当然肯定会有）出现完全崭新的话题和题目。那么我们该如何对待旧题呢？仔细的分析历年考题，我们会发现完全相同的题目并不是很多，可以说非常有限。有很多类似的题目，可能在某个点，某个面上有类似的内容，但总有一些内容是不一样的。研究机经的最重要的目的就是将这些题目的相同点找出来，构成我们的高频题目。所谓的新题，其思路也不过是在这些高频题目的思

雅思大作文提问方式 【篇一：雅思大作文写作方法】 雅思大作文写作步骤指导 雅思写作部分有2篇作文，要求考生在一小时内完成至少400字的 写作任务。由于时间比较短，不少考生因未能合理安排时间，结果 没有有效完成任务要求或是未能充分展现自己的英语写作水平。 写作部分两篇文章的字数要求是不一样的。大作文必须完成250字 以上写作任务，而小作文150字以上。根据这一指令，从机械地写 字速度来看，考生较为合理的时间分配为大作文40分钟，小作文20分钟。另外，大作文占写作总值的60%，小作文为40%，从这分值 的权重来看，时间上2：1的分配也是相当合理的。所以，要想成功完成大作文任务一定要把时间控制在40分钟左右，前后不超出5分钟。 那么如何充分利用这40分钟，完成一篇基本令人满意的文章呢？ 步骤一：审题（3 分钟） 审题是有效完成任务的第一步，也是最关键的一步。从评分标准看，审题的正确与否与task response有着直接的联系。而在当前模板 泛滥，文章千篇一律的大环境下，有效审题是突破六分的一条准绳。不少考生在审题时，要么蜻蜓点水、草草一读，要么只关注题目中 词的同义转换。如此读题，都有可能对之后的文章撰写方向造成偏差。而有效的读题方法应为： 通读题目，了解大意。 细读题目，分析句子间的逻辑关系。 再读题目，辨别关键词，区分主题词和限定词，推测考官的出题意图。 由于大部分考生只作到了读题的第一步，所以出现离题或部分离题 的可能性很大。现以2008年11月15日的考题为例： there are more workers to work from home and more students to study from home. this is because the computer technology is more and more easily accessible and cheaper. do you think it is a positive or negative development?（题目为考生回忆，与 原题可能有少许出入） 通读题目，了解大意。

2019年12月17日雅思大作文真题及范文 Task：Some people think getting old is entirely bad, but other people do think it’s much better for old people to live now than in the past. Please show your idea with explanation, examples and your knowledge. Sample answer： It has become a common phenomenon for people in a number of countries to enjoy an increasing life expectancy. While some people believe it is horrible just to imagine getting old , I think the situation has completely changed comparing to decades ago and now elderly people can lead a happy life. In some cases, the seniors do experience empty nest syndrome because their children are away from home. However, things are different nowadays. There are numerous residential homes with trained carers in a country and they have become a perfect place for the elderly to stay after retirement, where the elderly will not feel lonely and bored with the company of their peers. Another concern for numerous senior citizens is the health problem. In the past, without advanced medical science, the seniors tend to suffer from various kinds of diseases, which decrease their quality of life at great extent. By contrast, the medical science is developing at an amazing speed and this trend can at least delay the onset of some chronic conditions and with healthy body, the elderly can enjoy happier lives.
2017雅思A类写作大作文真题范文 1.07 教育类 Task：Art classes, like painting and drawing, are not as important as other subjects, so some people think that it should not be a compulsory subject at high school. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Schools are places where students acquire knowledge and skills needed for further achievements. Given the pressure that students are facing, some cannot help wondering whether art classes should still be compulsory. Those holding the view that art classes should not be compulsory might think that art consumes too much of students' time. Fierce competitions students will face when applying for universities necessitate total devotion to academic subjects. College students who intend to take science as their major are even expected to be fluent in foreign languages now so that essays written by foreign scholars are not barriers in their academic pursuit. In other words, high school students are supposed to show higher levels of academic competence,which seemingly makes art unessential. However, art classes are by no means only intended for entertainment. Children even dabbling in art tend to be more creative in mind. Those skilled in music or painting can interpret the world in a way that we cannot expect from a layman. This kind of ingenuity is also a rare quality constantly found in great scientists, whose contributions have served to create a totally new field for the latter generations. In his reply to a question about death, Albert Einstein considered his departure from the mortal world to be forever farewell to another great musician. With a sigh he answered "I cannot listen to Mozart anymore". Thus, can we simply regard art classes to be selective?
