2008年雅思Task2作文题

题目：In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What problems will this cause for individuals and society? Suggest some measures that could be taken to reduce the impact of ageing populations.范文：It is true that people in industrialised nations can expect to live longer than ever before. Although there will undoubtedly be some negative consequences of this trend, societies can take steps to mitigate these potential problems.As people live longer and the populations of developed countries grow older, several related problems can be anticipated. The main issue is that there will obviously be more people of retirement age who will be eligible to receive a pension. The proportion of younger, working adults will be smaller, and governments will therefore receive less money in taxes in relation to the size of the population. In other words, an ageing population will mean a greater tax burden for working adults. Further pressures will include a rise in the demand for healthcare, and the fact young adults will increasingly have to look after their elderly relatives.There are several actions that governments could take to solve the problems described above. Firstly, a simple solution would be to increase the retirement age for working adults, perhaps from 65 to 70. Nowadays, people of this age tend to be healthy enough to continue a productive working life. A second measure would be for governments to encourage immigration in order to increase the number of working adults who pay taxes. Finally, money from national budgets will need to be taken from other areas and spent on vital healthcare, accommodation and transport facilities for the rising numbers of older citizens.In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the problems that are certain to arise as the populations of countries grow older.(265 words, band 9)。

Task 2 具体段落写作-例子一.开头段写作真题举例:Should animals be used in testing new drugs and procedures?Sample 1:Medical research involving animals has dramatically improved the health of the human race.(paraphrase)Without animal testing, the cure for polio would not exist and diabetics would suffer or die from their disease.(one side)Despite these benefits, some people believe that animals should not be used for testing medical techniques and drugs.(opposite side)This essay will outline the advantages of animal testing.(thesis)Sample 2:Every year, millions of animals undergo painful suffering or death as a result of scientific research into the effects of drugs, food additives, cosmetics and other chemical products.(paraphrase)While most people think animal testing is necessary,(one side) others are upset by what they see as needless suffering.(opposite side)This essay looks at some of the positive and negative aspects of animal testing. (thesis)Sample 3:Today, it is not uncommon to use animals for experimentation purposes in medical research or cosmetics business.(paraphrase)In this essay, I will look at the pros and cons of animal testing. (thesis)二.主体段落写作(一) 立论段写作I how to explain an idea真题举例:Topic: Should governments continue to finance public schools?Viewpoint: Governments should continue to finance public schools.Main body 1:First and foremost,government funding of public schools gives many children, especially those economically disadvantaged,opportunities to get proper education. Not all parents can afford to send their children to private schools because of the increasing tuition fees. Through this way,public schools play an important role in the society. They give more children opportunities to get proper education since these schools are cheaper and more affordable.Main body 2:Moreover,having sufficient funding means the ability to hire excellent teachers for public schools. If governments continue funding public schools, then these schools will have sufficient budget to pay for top caliber teaching staff. Excellent teachers do not come cheap most of the time. Their experience and knowledge should be well-comprehended. In other words, their salaries should be commensurate with their academic achievement.II How to give examples and facts真题举例:Topic: Do the negative influences of media outweigh its positive ones?Body paragraph:Sometimes, discussing the merits and demerits of the various forms of media is extremely complex. By this I mean the same thing can be both bad and good. For example,many people worry about the violence in TV programs and their effect on young people.Conversely, many people consider that these same programs are an opportunity for us to release our stronger emotions, our feelings of anger or anxiety.真题举例:Topic: With the increasing use of mobile phones and computers, less people tend to write letters. Some people even think the skill of writing letters will disappear completely. To what extent do you agree or disagree?Body paragraph:In spite of all this, there are certain occasions when letters are still the number one choice. The wedding invitations always seem more formal and sincere if hand-written; holiday cards with ink will often delight us more; and a carefully written love letter may intrigue or move your beloved one more easily. So letter writing is still necessary even in this Internet era andsometimes unique with its physical being as against other virtual forms of communication. Clearly, there is still a place for the hand-written letter and there is no evidence that this place will be taken by technology in the future.III How to make comparison and contrast1. 过去与现在的对比真题举例:Topic: The advantages and disadvantages of performing daily tasks online. Body paragraph:It is clear that fulfilling some tasks without seeing people face to face is highly efficient. In the past,if we needed to buy something, we had to go to the shopping mall, but nowadays all can be done with a click of a mouse and the goods will be delivered home, even at a lower price. And if we want to make a transaction from one bank account to another, we do not have to go directly to a bank and wait for a desperately long queue; instead we may comfortably make use of the self-banking service at home provided access to the Internet. Thus, efficiency of work and life has been both highly improved owing to the technological advances.2. 反面假设真题举例:Topic: The importance of learning computer technologyBody paragraph:It is important that college students should learn adequate computer skills. This is an information age where the Internet is a master key to almost all the knowledge and information available. So a good understanding of the computer technology will give a student an edge in the society today. On the other hand, if one has little knowledge of computer skills, the student will probably lag behind the times, in danger of being excluded from what is going on in the world.3. 对比事物真题举例:Topic: Is the city life a better choice for children?Body paragraph:What is more, children can enjoy a more colorful life in cities. There are various cultural activities organized and more advanced facilities available for children to enjoy, such as exhibitions, galleries, museums and theaters. Therefore, in cities children are much more experienced and knowledgeable than those in the country, who live a simple and monotonous life and tend to be more unenlightened for lack of adequate information.IV How to classifySample 1真题举例:Topic: Send children to boarding schools or day schools?Viewpoint: Children should be sent to boarding schools.Body paragraph:Boarding schools are ideal for parents whose work takes them aboard or who are otherwise unable to offer t heir children a “normal” home life after school and at weekends. The children are looked after by professionals and the children learn to be independent of their parents from an early age.Sample 2真题举例:Topic: Some people argue that teaching children of different abilities together benefits all of them. Others believe that intelligent children should be taught separately and given special treatment. Discuss both views and how do you think about it.Viewpoint: Students should be taught separately.Body paragraph:The most obvious advantages lies in the fact that it allows teachers to employ different pedagogic strategies suited to the particular group of pupils. For example, for the more intelligent students who are more likely to have a quicker mind and a stronger knowledge thirsty intention, teachers or tutors can include something more difficult or complex in their syllabus, catering for the special needs. On the other hand, some other students who are not that intelligent may be slow at learning or acquiring new knowledge or skills, a correspondingly suitable teaching strategy then is highly desirable. In this case, the separate teaching scheme is generally good for both groups of students, since teachers can thereafter design different courses and teaching methods catering for their special needs.(二) 驳论段写作Sample 1真题举例:Topic: Should costs of higher education be paid by the government? Viewpoint: The costs can be paid by government loads.Body paragraph:With a tendency to hold that higher education is no longer compulsory, many people then claim that it should be funded by students themselves instead of the government. This indeed reduces governments’ financial burden to a certain extent and it is argued that students’ motivation would be highly strengthened since they have paid a large amount of fees to obtain the access. But the downsides should not be neglected. That is mainly tosay,the economically disadvantaged groups, for example, children of impoverished farmers in remote rural areas and laid-off workers in cities, may be put at an extreme disadvantage, and therefore should be assured of an equal chance to access the university education by the government.Sample 2真题举例:Topic:Some people believe that air travel should be restricted because it causes serious pollution and uses up the world’s fuel resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?Viewpoint: Disagree with the opinion.Body paragraph:Of course, there is no denying that traveling by plane produces greenhouse gases and is fuel-consuming. But one fact should be made clear that the main source of world’s emissions is private cars rather than airplanes. Moreover, alternative energies are being explored and some have already come into being. It is imaginable that in the near future we will be able to enjoy the journey from Beijing to London in planes powered by new energy.三.结尾段写作Sample 1真题举例:Topic: Should governments fund space exploration?Conclusion:To conclude,I am in support of the opinion that governments should fund space exploration. However, they should only allot a reasonable budget for this for the fact that their top priority is always to improve the living conditions of their citizens.Sample 2真题举例:Topic: Differences between countries are becoming less evident nowadays. People tend to have the same films, music, brands, TV channels, etc. To what extent do you think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages? Conclusion:Overall, I am quite optimistic about the prospect of an increasingly similar world. Of course, some minority groups may be put at a disadvantage for they cannot receive equal attention as the superpowers. So I also advocate that government or other bodies should make efforts to bring these minorities into the international horizon.。

IELTS雅思作文WritingTask2In this contemporary world, one of the most severe issue- obesity has an impact on society. Some people confirmthat only providinghealthy food and participation in sports beingcompulsory can solve this problem effectively. Whereas, other individuals believe that there are still other strategies to tackle this issue which include enhancement of health education and closing fast-food outlets. On the one hand, only providing healthy food is a beneficial way to solve the problem which people are being overweight. To start with, healthy food contains more nutrients, such as fibre, which can help the digestive system and vitamin C, which can prevent people from catching colds. A well-known saying, ‘an apple a day, keep the doctors away’ is the best example. In addition, makingsports compulsory in schools is another good idea. Recent surveys say that teenagers have become a large proportion of obese population. As well as, doing sports or exercises is the best way to lose weight and to keep fit, compared to being on a diet.On the other hand, a large number of people consider that there are several other methods which can reduce the increasing number of obese population. First of all, the guidance from governments and institutes about how to promote good eating habits needs to be implemented due to lack of knowledge about health. Thus, governments are necessary to educate public on what is health food and how to select suitable balanced everyday meals by advertising. Last but not the least, shutting down the fast-food outlets is another drastic opinion. Along with the swift lifestyle, people choose to eat fast-food which contains high calories and fat which people cannot fully consume, for instance,KFC, Burger king and Pizzas. Hence, these outlets should be shut down for public health to improve. In conclusion, thesolutions of people being obese are obviously varied, including providing onlyhealthy food and making sports compulsory in schools. However, other ideas need to be taken under consideration, such as enhancement of health education and shutting down fast-food outlets. Nevertheless, people have various means and strategies to solve the problem of obesity.。

Some say that teachers should only teach students about academic subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (060318)翻译：学做人vs 学做事有些人认为老师应当负责教给学生如何判断对错和如何行为得体；有些人说老师应当只教给学生学术科目，讨论两个观点给出你的意见。

抛砖：（题目比较抽象，论证时要具体化）有些人觉得老师应当只关注(focus on)学术科目，这是老师的基本职责(fundamental responsibility)，比如幼儿园(nursery school)和小学的识字、算术、美术、音乐、体育；中学的外语、物理、化学、自然、生物、历史、地理；大学的各种专业知识(specialist knowledge)。

但学生和老师相处时间长，除了学习学术科目，在为人处世方面也会潜移默化(unconsciously)地受老师影响(influence)。

所以，我认为老师也有责任教学生如何判断对错和行为得体，比如守时(punctual)是好习惯，而浪费是坏习惯；应当重视家庭，尊重长辈；应当相信工作，相信人，相信神（believe the God，西方人常见世界观之一）。

这些做人方面的内容(How to be a qualified citizen)对学生在未来职业的帮助甚至超过专业知识。

雅思剑8作文task2In recent years, there has been a growing trend of people living alone. This phenomenon has sparked a heated debate among individuals, with some arguing that living alone is a positive development, while others believe it has negative implications. From my perspective, living alone can have both advantages and disadvantages, and it ultimately depends on an individual's personal preferences and circumstances.On the one hand, living alone provides individuals with a sense of independence and freedom. When living alone, one has the freedom to make decisions without having to consider the preferences or needs of others. This can be particularly liberating for individuals who value their personal space and enjoy solitude. Moreover, living alone allows individuals to establish their own routines and take full control of their lives. They can come and go as they please, without having to compromise with roommates or family members. This independence can foster personalgrowth and self-discovery, as individuals have the opportunity to explore their own interests and developtheir own identities.On the other hand, living alone can also have negative implications, particularly in terms of social isolation and loneliness. Humans are social creatures, and we thrive on social interactions and connections with others. Living alone can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, especially for individuals who lack a strong support network or have difficulty establishing new relationships. Furthermore, living alone can also posesafety concerns, as there is no one to rely on in case of emergencies or accidents. This can be particularly worrisome for older individuals or those with health issues, who may require assistance and support on a regular basis.In addition, living alone can have financial implications. Sharing living expenses with others can significantly reduce the financial burden, making it more affordable for individuals to live in expensive urban areas. On the other hand, living alone means shouldering all theexpenses on one's own, which can be challenging for individuals with limited financial resources. This can lead to financial strain and may limit one's ability to enjoy a certain quality of life. Moreover, living alone also means taking on all the household chores and responsibilities, which can be time-consuming and exhausting.Despite the potential drawbacks, living alone can also provide individuals with a sense of empowerment and personal growth. It forces individuals to become self-reliant and develop important life skills, such as budgeting, cooking, and managing household tasks. Moreover, living alone can also provide individuals with a sense of privacy and peace, allowing them to recharge and rejuvenate after a long day. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have demanding jobs or busy lifestyles.In conclusion, living alone has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. While it can provide individuals with a sense of independence and freedom, it can also lead to social isolation and financial challenges. Whether living alone is a positive or negative developmentultimately depends on an individual's personal preferences and circumstances. It is important to carefully consider the pros and cons before making a decision about living alone.。
