雅思小作文范文整理自雅思考官simon博客The table below gives information about the underground railway systems in six cities.Full essay (band 9):The table shows data about the underground rail networks in six major cities.The table compares the six networks in terms of their age, size and the number of people who use them each year. It is clear that the three oldest underground systems are larger and serve significantly more passengers than the newer systems.The London underground is the oldest system, having opened in 1863. It is also the largest sy stem, with 394 kilometres of route. The second largest system, in Paris, is only about half the size of the London underground, with 199 kilometres of route. However, it serves more peopl e per year. While only third in terms of size, the Tokyo system is easily the most used, with 1 927 million passengers per year.Of the three newer networks, the Washington DC underground is the most extensive, with 12 6 kilometres of route, compared to only 11 kilometres and 28 kilometres for the Kyoto and L os Angeles systems. The Los Angeles network is the newest, having opened in 2001, while th e Kyoto network is the smallest and serves only 45 million passengers per year.(185 words)water cycle' essayThe diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.The picture illustrates the way in which water passes from ocean to air to land during the natural process known as the water cycle.Three main stages are shown on the diagram. Ocean water evaporates, falls as rain, and eventually runs back into the oceans again.Beginning at the evaporation stage, we can see that 80% of water vapour in the air comes from the oceans. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate, and water vapour condenses to form clouds. At the second stage, labelled ‘precipitation’ on the diagram, water falls as rain or snow.At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take various paths. Some of it may fall into lakes o r return to the oceans via ‘surface runoff’. Otherwise, rainwater may filter through the ground, reaching the impervious layer of the earth. Salt water intrusion is shown to take place just before groundwater passes into the oceans to complete the cycle.August 26, 2010范文：The line graph compares the percentage of people in three countries who used the Internet between 1999 and 2009.It is clear that the proportion of the population who used the Internet increased in each country over the period shown. Overall, a much larger percentage of Canadians and Americans had access to the Internet in comparison with Mexicans, and Canada experienced the fastest growth in Internet usage.In 1999, the proportion of people using the Internet in the USA was about 20%. The figures for Canada and Mexico were lower, at about 10% and 5% respectively. In 2005, Internet usage in both the USA and Canada rose to around 70% of the population, while the figure for Mexico reached just over 25%.By 2009, the percentage of Internet users was highest in Canada. Almost 100% of Canadians used the Internet, compared to about 80% of Americans and only 40% of Mexicans.Here is my full essay (170 words):The figure illustrates the process used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to forecast the weather.There are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of information about the weather. This information is then analysed, prepared for presentation, and finally broadcast to the public.Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of collecting weather data and three ways of analysing it. Firstly, incoming information can be received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can also be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Secondly, incoming information may be collected directly by radar and analysed on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally, drifting buoys also receive data which can be shown on a synoptic chart.At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers. Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the radio, or as a recorded telephone announcement.The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.范文：The three bar charts show average years of schooling, numbers of scientists and technicians, and research and development spending in developing and developed countries. Figures are g iven for 1980 and 1990.It is clear from the charts that the figures for developed countries are much higher than those for developing nations. Also, the charts show an overall increase in participation in education and science from 1980 to 1990.People in developing nations attended school for an average of around 3 years, with only a sli ght increase in years of schooling from 1980 to 1990. On the other hand, the figure for indust rialised countries rose from nearly 9 years of schooling in 1980 to nearly 11 years in 1990.From 1980 to 1990, the number of scientists and technicians in industrialised countries almos t doubled to about 70 per 1000 people. Spending on research and development also saw rapid growth in these countries, reaching $350 billion in 1990. By contrast, the number of science workers in developing countries remained below 20 per 1000 people, and research spending f ell from about $50 billion to only $25 billion.(187 words)November 04, 2010Full essay (159 words):The chart gives information about UK immigration, emigration and net migration between 1999 and 2008.Both immigration and emigration rates rose over the period shown, but the figures for immigration were significantly higher. Net migration peaked in 2004 and 2007.In 1999, over 450,000 people came to live in the UK, while the number of people who emigrated stood at just under 300,000. The figure for net migration was around 160,000, and it remained at a similar level until 2003. From 1999 to 2004, the immigration rate rose by nearly 150,000 people, but there was a much smaller rise in emigration. Net migration peaked at almost 250,000 people in 2004.After 2004, the rate of immigration remained high, but the number of people emigrating fluctuated. Emigration fell suddenly in 2007, before peaking at about 420,000 people in 2008. As a result, the net migration figure rose to around 240,000 in 2007, but fell back to around 160,000 in 2008.pie chart answerThe pie charts below show how dangerous waste products are dealt with in three countries.范文：The charts compare Korea, Sweden and the UK in terms of the methods used in each country to dispose of harmful waste.It is clear that in both the UK and Sweden, the majority of dangerous waste products are buried underground. By contrast, most hazardous materials in the Republic of Korea are recycled.Looking a t the information in more detail, we can see that 82% of the UK’s dangerous waste is put into landfill sites. This disposal technique is used for 55% of the harmful waste in Sweden and only 22% of similar waste in Korea. The latter country recycles 69% of hazardous materials, which is far more than the other two nations.While 25% of Sweden's dangerous waste is recycled, the UK does not recycle at all. Instead, it dumps waste at sea or treats it chemically. These two methods are not employed in Korea or Sweden, which favour incineration for 9% and 20% of dangerous waste respectively. (159 words, band 9)'flood diagram' answerThe diagrams below show how houses can be protected in areas which are prone to flooding.Here's my full band 9 report:The diagrams compare two different methods of defence for homes which are at risk of being flooded.The key difference between the diagrams is that they show flood protection with and without a stopbank. In either case, the at-risk home is raised on stilts above ground level.The first diagram shows how a stopbank acts as a flood barrier to stop river water from flooding homes. The stopbank is a small mound of land next to the river that is higher than the 100-year flood level, and prevents the river from bursting its banks. Nearby houses can be built on stilts to prevent flooding from rainwater, and a floodgate beneath the stopbank can be opened to allow this ‘ponding’ to drain off into the river.When there is no stopbank, as shown in the second diagram, there will be nothing to stop the river from flooding. In this case, the solution is to put buildings on stilts. The height of the stilts is measured so that the floor of the house is 300mm above the 100-year flood level. This measurement is called the ‘freeboard’.'waste table' essayThe table below shows the amount of waste production (in millions of tonnes) in six different countries over a twenty-year period.The chart compares the amounts of waste that were produced in six countries in the years 1980, 1990 and 2000.In each of these years, the US produced more waste than Ireland, Japan, Korea, Poland and Portugal combined. It is also noticeable that Korea was the only country that managed to reduce its waste output by the year 2000.Between 1980 and 2000, waste production in the US rose from 131 to 192 million tonnes, and rising trends were also seen in Japan, Poland and Portugal. Japan’s waste output increased from 28 to 53 million tonnes, while Poland and Portugal saw waste totals increase from 4 to 6.6 and from 2 to 5 million tonnes respectively.The trends for Ireland and Korea were noticeably different from those described above. In Ireland, waste production increased more than eightfold, from only 0.6 million tonnes in 1980 to 5 million tonnes in 2000. Korea, by contrast, cut its waste output by 12 million tonnes between 1990 and 2000.table essayThe table below shows changes in the numbers of residents cycling to work in different areas of the UK between 2001 and 2011.The table compares the numbers of people who cycled to work in twelve areas of the UK in the years 2001 and 2011.Overall, the number of UK commuters who travelled to work by bicycle rose considerably over the 10-year period. Inner London had by far the highest number of cycling commuters in both years.In 2001, well over 43 thousand residents of inner London commuted by bicycle, and this figure rose to more than 106 thousand in 2011, an increase of 144%. By contrast, although outer London had the second highest number of cycling commuters in each year, the percentage change, at only 45%, was the lowest of the twelve areas shown in the table. Brighton and Hove saw the second biggest increase (109%) in the number of residents cycling to work, but Bristol was the UK’s second city in terms of total numbers of cycling commuters, with 8,108 in 2001 and 15,768 in 2011. Figures for the other eight areas were below the 10 thousand mark in both years.(172 words, band 9)process diagramThe diagram below shows how solar panels can be used to provide electricity for domestic use.The picture illustrates the process of producing electricity in a home using solar panels.It is clear that there are five distinct stages in this process, beginning with the capture of energy from sunlight. The final two steps show how domestic electricity is connected to the external power supply.At the first stage in the process, solar panels on the roof of a normal house take energy from the sun and convert it into DC current. Next, this current is passed to an inverter, which changes it to AC current and regulates the supply of electricity. At stage three, electricity is supplied to the home from an electrical panel.At the fourth step shown on the diagram, a utility meter in the home is responsible for sending any extra electric power outside the house into the grid. Finally, if the solar panels do not provide enough energy for the household, electricity will flow from the utility grid into the home through the meter.Note:I've underlined examples of the two language features that make process diagram descriptions special: 'steps' language, and passive verbs.bar chartThe bar graph shows the global sales (in billions of dollars) of different types of digital games between 2000 and 2006.The bar chart compares the turnover in dollars from sales of video games for four different platforms, namely mobile phones, online, consoles and handheld devices, from 2000 to 2006.It is clear that sales of games for three out of the four platforms rose each year, leading to a significant rise in total global turnover over the 7-year period. Sales figures for handheld games were at least twice as high as those for any other platform in almost every year.In 2000, worldwide sales of handheld games stood at around $11 billion, while console games earned just under $6 billion. No figures are given for mobile or online games in that year. Over the next 3 years, sales of handheld video games rose by about $4 billion, but the figure for consoles decreased by $2 billion. Mobile phone and online games started to become popular, with sales reaching around $3 billion in 2003.In 2006, sales of handheld, online and mobile games reached peaks of 17, 9 and 7 billion dollars respectively. By contrast, turnover from console games dropped to its lowest point, at around $2.5 billion.map essayThe map shows the growth of a village called Chorleywood between 1868 and 1994.It is clear that the village grew as the transport infrastructure was improved. Four periods of development are shown on the map, and each of the populated areas is near to the main roads, the railway or the motorway.From 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood covered a small area next to one of the main roads. Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located next to this original village area. The village grew along the main road to the south between 1883 and 1922, and in 1909 a railway line was built crossing this area from west to east. Chorleywood station is in this part of the village.The expansion of Chorleywood continued to the east and west alongside the railway line until 1970. At that time, a motorway was built to the east of the village, and from 1970 to 1994, further development of the village took place around motorway intersections with the railway and one of the main roads.flow chart essayThe chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling.The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper.At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill. Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product: usable paper.(160 words, band 9)Note: I joined the introduction and overview together because they were both short. Try to analyse the essay - why is it worth band 9?stacked bar chart essayThe chart below shows the total number of Olympic medals won by twelve different countries.The bar chart compares twelve countries in terms of the overall number of medals that they have won at the Olympic Games.It is clear that the USA is by far the most successful Olympic medal winning nation. It is also noticeable that the figures for gold, silver and bronze medals won by any particular country tend to be fairly similar.The USA has won a total of around 2,300 Olympic medals, including approximately 900 gold medals, 750 silver and 650 bronze. In second place on the all-time medals chart is the Soviet Union, with just over 1,000 medals. Again, the number of gold medals won by this country is slightly higher than the number of silver or bronze medals.Only four other countries - the UK, France, Germany and Italy - have won more than 500 Olympic medals, all with similar proportions of each medal colour. Apart from the USA and the Soviet Union, China is the only other country with a noticeably higher proportion of gold medals (about 200) compared to silver and bronze (about 100 each).(178 words, band 9)mobile phones essay范文：The table compares the percentages of people using different functions of their mobile phones between 2006 and 2010.
Throughout the period shown, the main reason why people used their mobile phones was to make calls. However, there was a marked increase in the popularity of other mobile phone features, particularly the Internet search feature.In 2006, 100% of mobile phone owners used their phones to make calls, while the next most popular functions were text messaging (73%) and taking photos (66%). By contrast, less than 20% of owners played games or music on their phones, and there were no figures for users doing Internet searches or recording video.Over the following 4 years, there was relatively little change in the figures for the top three mobile phone features. However, the percentage of people using their phones to access the Internet jumped to 41% in 2008 and then to 73% in 2010. There was also a significant rise in the use of mobiles to play games and to record video, with figures reaching 41% and 35% respectively in 2010.Note:The above essay isn't perfect, but it's still good enough for a band 9. You are not expected to write a masterpiece in only 20 minutes.line graph essayThe line graph compares average yearly spending by Americans on mobile and landline phone services from 2001 to 2010.It is clear that spending on landline phones fell steadily over the 10-year period, while mobile phone expenditure rose quickly. The year 2006 marks the point at which expenditure on mobile services overtook that for residential phone services.In 2001, US consumers spent an average of nearly $700 on residential phone services, compared to only around $200 on cell phone services. Over the following five years, average yearly spending on landlines dropped by nearly $200. By contrast, expenditure on mobiles rose by approximately $300.In the year 2006, the average American paid out the same amount of money on both types of phone service, spending just over $500 on each. By 2010, expenditure on mobile phones had reached around $750, while the figure for spending on residential services had fallen to just over half this amount.(162 words, band 9)life cycle essayThe diagram shows the life cycle of the honey bee. Two things to consider are:how to summarise the diagram before describing the stages in detailwhether to use active or passive verb formsThe diagram illustrates the various stages in the life of a honey bee. We can see that the complete life cycle lasts between 34 and 36 days. It is also noticeable that there are five main stages in the development of the honey bee, from egg to mature adult insect.The life cycle of the honey bee begins when the female adult lays an egg; the female typically lays one or two eggs every 3 days. Between 9 and 10 days later, each egg hatches and the immature insect, or nymph, appears.During the third stage of the life cycle, the nymph grows in size and sheds its skin three times. This moulting first takes place 5 days after the egg hatches, then 7 days later, and again another 9 days later. After a total of 30 to 31 days from the start of the cycle, the young adult honey bee emerges from its final moulting stage, and in the space of only 4 days it reaches full maturity.(169 words, band 9)climate essayThe climograph below shows average monthly temperatures and rainfall in the city of Kolkata.The chart compares average figures for temperature and precipitation over the course of a calendar year in Kolkata.It is noticeable that monthly figures for precipitation in Kolkata vary considerably, whereas monthly temperatures remain relatively stable. Rainfall is highest from July to August, while temperatures are highest in April and May.Between the months of January and May, average temperatures in Kolkata rise from their lowest point at around 20°C to a peak of just over 30°C. Average rainfall in the city also rises over the same period, from approximately 20mm of rain in January to 100mm in May. While temperatures stay roughly the same for the next four months, the amount of rainfall more than doubles between May and June. Figures for precipitation remain above 250mm from June to September, peaking at around 330mm in July. The final three months of the year see a dramatic fall in precipitation, to a low of about 10mm in December, and a steady drop in temperatures back to the January average.(173 words, band 9)full essay about 2 bar chartsThe bar charts compare students of different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported by an employer.It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.Around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The gap between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49 overwhelmingly study for interest (70%) rather than for professional reasons (less than 20%). Just over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers. By contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient, with only 30% being given time off and help with fees. The figures rise slightly for students in their forties and for those aged 50 or more. (178 words, band 9)'chart without years' essayThe chart below shows numbers of incidents and injuries per 100 million passenger miles travelled (PMT) by transportation type in 2002.The bar chart compares the number of incidents and injuries for every 100 million passenger miles travelled on five different types of public transport in 2002.It is clear that the most incidents and injuries took place on demand-response vehicles. By contrast, commuter rail services recorded by far the lowest figures.A total of 225 incidents and 173 injuries, per 100 million passenger miles travelled, took place on demand-response transport services. These figures were nearly three times as high as those for the second highest category, bus services. There were 76 incidents and 66 people were injured on buses.Rail services experienced fewer problems. The number of incidents on light rail trains equalled the figure recorded for buses, but there were significantly fewer injuries, at only 39. Heavy rail services saw lower numbers of such events than light rail services, but commuter rail passengers were even less likely to experience problems. In fact, only 20 incidents and 17 injuries occurred on commuter trains.(165 words, band 9)graph showing future yearsThe graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.The line graph compares the percentage of people aged 65 or more in three countries over a period of 100 years.It is clear that the proportion of elderly people increases in each country between 1940 and 2040. Japan is expected to see the most dramatic changes in its elderly population.In 1940, around 9% of Americans were aged 65 or over, compared to about 7% of Swedish people and 5% of Japanese people. The proportions of elderly people in the USA and Sweden rose gradually over the next 50 years, reaching just under 15% in 1990. By contrast, the figures for Japan remained below 5% until the early 2000s.Looking into the future, a sudden increase in the percentage of elderly people is predicted for Japan, with a jump of over 15% in just 10 years from 2030 to 2040. By 2040, it is thought that around 27% of the Japanese population will be 65 years old or more, while the figures for Sweden and the USA will be slightly lower, at about 25% and 23% respectively.(178 words, band 9)'table' essayThe table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.Percentage of national consumer expenditure by category - 2002范文;The table shows percentages of consumer expenditure for three categories of products and services in five countries in 2002.It is clear that the largest proportion of consumer spending in each country went on food, drinks and tobacco. On the other hand, the leisure/education category has the lowest percentages in the table.Out of the five countries, consumer spending on food, drinks and tobacco was noticeably higher in Turkey, at 32.14%, and Ireland, at nearly 29%. The proportion of spending on leisure and education was also highest in Turkey, at 4.35%, while expenditure on clothing and footwear was significantly higher in Italy, at 9%, than in any of the other countries.It can be seen that Sweden had the lowest percentages of national consumer expenditure for food/drinks/tobacco and for clothing/footwear, at nearly 16% and just over 5% respectively. Spain had slightly higher figures for these categories, but the lowest figure forleisure/education, at only 1.98%.graph and table essayThe graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.范文：The charts compare the amount of water used for agriculture, industry and homes around the world, and water use in Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo.It is clear that global water needs rose significantly between 1900 and 2000, and that agriculture accounted for the largest proportion of water used. We can also see that water consumption was considerably higher in Brazil than in the Congo.In 1900, around 500km³ of water was used by the agriculture sector worldwide. The figures for industrial and domestic water consumption stood at around one fifth of that amount. By 2000, global water use for agriculture had increased to around 3000km³, industrial water use had risen to just under half that amount, and domestic consumption had reached approximately 500km³.In the year 2000, the populations of Brazil and the Congo were 176 million and 5.2 million respectively. Water consumption per person in Brazil, at 359m³, was much higher than that in the Congo, at only 8m³, and this could be explained by the fact that Brazil had 265 times more irrigated land.(184 words, band 9)'house prices' chartThe chart below shows information about changes in average house prices infive different cities between 1990 and 2002 compared with the average houseprices in 1989.范文：The bar chart compares the cost of an average house in five major cities over a period of 13 years from 1989.We can see that house prices fell overall between 1990 and 1995, but most of the cities saw rising prices between 1996 and 2002. London experienced by far the greatest changes in house prices over the 13-year period.Over the 5 years after 1989, the cost of average homes in Tokyo and London dropped by around 7%, while New York house prices went down by 5%. By contrast, prices rose by approximately 2% in both Madrid and Frankfurt.Between 1996 and 2002, London house prices jumped to around 12% above the 1989 average. Homebuyers in New York also had to pay significantly more, with prices rising to 5% above the 1989 average, but homes in Tokyo remained cheaper than they were in 1989. The cost of an average home in Madrid rose by a further 2%, while prices in Frankfurt remained stable.(165 words)。

In your letter: Explain the reasons for the noise Apologise Describe what action you will take 剑桥雅思小作文范文Dear James,I was very shocked to get your letter saying that the noise from my flat has been spoiling your evenings and causing you some distress. I am really, really sorry about that. I had no idea that you would be able to hear so much, so I hope you will accept my apologies.As you may have guessed, I am trying to refit my kitchen in the evenings when I get home from work. Unfortunately it is all taking longer than expected and I have been having problems with getting things to fit properly. This has meant a lot of banging and hammering.As the kitchen is still not finished, I have decided to call in a professional builder who will finish the work in the next day or two. He will work only during daytime hours, so you won’t be disturbed in the evenings again, I promise.Sorry to have caused these problems.Bill.剑桥雅思写作高分范文分类第三篇Discuss the difference between fast food and traditional food, such as nutrition,and recipe?Living in a fast-paced society, the modern eaters are not longer interested in the contents of their food, but focused on whether a convenient meal is available at hand to devour. Statistics indicate that even housewives spend much shorter time at kitchen than their predecessors. This writing will compare and contrast advantages and disadvantages of fast food and traditional food.Traditional food has its unshakable position in the human culture both in the social and historical context. Historically, chefs have gone to all lengths to experiment on novelties, invent cooking skills to gratify guests' hunger. Hence, traditional food has secured its incomparable value with a complex of tantalising features, including the variance, flavour, and taste. Its unique charms can nurturesocial relations as well. A family is accustomed to prepare a traditional feast to serve their guests at weekend or on holiday,such as Christmas.Further, traditional food is favourably nutritious and balanced, compared with fast food. Dieticians have suggested audience through millions of televised courses that traditional food can retain more nutrition before being served on the table, for in general, they are cooked with a temperate heat. By contrast, the fast food are made at such a high temperature that nutrition has inescapably vaporised during the cooking process. Meanwhile, cooks pay more attention to the balance of recipe when preparing traditional food, such as combing meat with vegetable.Despite a range of advantages, traditional food is overshadowed by its fast competitor in terms of time. Traditional food can consume a considerable amount of time from choosing materials, to arranging your table for visual appeal. In contrast, fast food cannot be faster when making a five-minute trip to a store around the corner, or even dialling to a fast food company. Needless to say recently, a string of fast food companies have tried their hardest to enrich the menu. To summarise, traditional food has an irreplaceable role in our life, backed with various merits.

剑桥雅思真题9—写作（Test 4 附高分范文）Writing Task 1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.Write at least 150 words.参考范文1：The graph shows energy consumption in the US from 1980 to 2012, and projected consumption to 2030.Petrol and oil are the dominant fuel sources throughout this period, with 35 quadrillion (35q) units used in 1980，rising to 42q in 2012. Despite some initial fluctuation, from 1995 there was a steady increase. This is expected to continue, reaching 47q in 2030.Consumption of energy derived from natural gas and coal is similar over the period. From 20q and 15q respectively in 1980，gas showed an initial fall and coal a gradual increase，with the two fuels equal between 1985 and 1990. Consumption has fluctuated since 1990 but both now provide 24q. Coal is predicted to increase steadily to 31q in 2030, whereas after 2014, gas will remain stable at 25q.In 1980, energy from nuclear, hydro- and solar/wind power was equal at only 4q. Nuclear has risen by 3q, and solar/wind by 2. After slight increases, hydropower has fallen back to the 1980 figure. It is expected to maintain this level until 2030, while the others should rise slightly after 2025.Overall, the US will continue to rely on fossil fuels, with sustainable and nuclear energysources remaining relatively insignificant.参考范文2：The line graph provides information about the consumption of energy by fuel in the United States of America since 1980 with projections until 2030.The most dominant fuel sources throughout the period are petrol and oil. Starting with 35 quadrillion units in 1980, it reached about 42 quadrillions in 2013. It is estimated that by 2030 this fuel source will reach 48 quadrillion units.Consumption of energy derived from coal and natural gas is quite smaller. From 20 and 15 quadrillion units in the beginning of the period, natural gas had a slight decline and coal a gradual increase. The two fuels were equal from 1985 to 1990, when coal began to lead. It is predicted that coal will increase steadily to 32 quadrillion units in 2030, while natural gas will remain stable at 25 quadrillion units.The least prevailing fuel sources in this period are nuclear, hydropower, solar and wind. All of the fuels started with 4 quadrillion units in 1980. Thereafter, nuclear risen to 7 quadrillion units in 2010, while at the same time solar and wind increased only by 1 quadrillion unit. Hydropower had some insignificant rises and fell to the 1980 figure. It is predicted that all these fuels will maintain their levels until 2025, when nuclear, solar and wind will rise slightly.Overall, the United States of America will continue to rely on petrol and oil with less significant usage of sustainable, nuclear and environmentally friendly fuel.Writing Task 2You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.参考范文：Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important, because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. I do not agree with this opinion. Language, other than communication, has many other functions.To begin with, different languages make the world more interesting. If all men are speaking the same language, it would be like all men are wearing the same clothes, the world would be monotonic and boring. The society needs different dialects and accents.Another important reason is that language is the carrier of culture. Every specific nation passes their customs and traditions through language. Sometimes language is a symbol of unity. People speak the same language feel close to each other. The language helps keep their culture alive and gives them a sense of belonging.Last but not least, language determines our thinking patterns. When one language dies out, we not only lose a way of speaking, but lose a way of thinking.Some people may think communication would be much easier if we all speak the samelanguage. However, we should commit that sometimes it is convenient to express real feelings in dialects and accents.In conclusion, a language, no matter how few its speakers are, is invaluable cultural heritage of human beings. Therefore, we should cherish this wealth, protect language diversity and carry all languages down from generation to generation.。

Admittedly,it will be much more advantageous for children to learn a new language at an early age.Scientists substantiate that young kids have already formed the cognitive capability to distinguish the foreign language from their mother tongue,let alone the children over7year‐old.Indeed,children’s intrinsic curiosity and language gift can make it easier for them to master the foreign language compared with those who have get used to the pattern of their own language.Statistics present that most Swiss children can spontaneously master at least three languages since their9,especially those half‐breed.内容详细条目段落此段结构1反面论据一：七岁的孩子有足够的能力分辨外语与母语。

剑桥雅思9写作解析test2⼩作⽂题⽬：The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995- 2002. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.范⽂：The bar chart shows three types of telephone calls made in the UK between 1995 and 2002, according to how many minutes they lasted in total. Local fixed line calls lasted 72 billion minutes in 1995, rising gradually to 90 billion in 1998. The following year, the number peaked at 91 billion. Thereafter, it gradually declined to 73 billion in 2002. National and international fixed line calls lasted 37 billion minutes in 1995. The figure then rose slowly to 50 billion in 1999. There was a bigger increase in 2000 to 57 billion followed by smaller rises to 60 billion and 61 billion in 2001 and 2002 respectively. Mobile calls lasted 3 billion minutes in 1995, increasing to 10 billion in 1998. Thereafter, the increases were larger, to 15 billion in 1999, 27 billion in 2000 and 38 billion in 2001. In 2002 there was another rise to 44 billion.Overall, the number of minutes for local fixed line calls rose then fell and was always the highest. The number for national and international fixed line calls increased every year and was always the second highest, whilst the number for mobiles rose every year, especially after 1999, but was always the lowest.⼤作⽂题⽬：Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?范⽂：参考译⽂1——⽆偿社区服务应该是强制性的In this essay, I shall explain why I think that it is a good idea for secondary school students to do compulsory community service.The main reason that I believe this is that it provides secondary school students with wider knowledge about, and experience of, their community and society in general. Some types of community service involve working with sick or disabled people, giving students the opportunity to help those who are less fortunate. Other kinds of community service give students the chance to work with children or work on projects to improve the community. All of these broaden horizons and demonstrate to students what their place in society is.Another key advantage of community service for secondary school students is that it can provide them with some work experience. This is particularly true in some sectors, such as health care, but I think that community service generally provides people with a work ethic which will obviously be helpful throughout their lives. The fact that the work is unpaid might inspire some studentsto continue with community service even when it is not a compulsory part of their secondary school curriculum.In addition, many community services suffer from a lack of volunteers, so using secondary school students in this way provides enough people to meet this shortfall. The supply of students is very likely to continue as older students leave school but new ones enter, so the provision of these community services is almost guaranteed.To conclude, I think having secondary school students do community service is an excellent idea.参考译⽂2——⽆偿社区服务不应该是强制性的In this essay, I shall explain why I think that unpaid community service should not be compulsory for high school students. For me, the most important reason why community service should not be compulsory for high school students is that they should be focusing on other things. I think it is much more important for high school students to study academic subjects –like maths, languages, science and computing –that will help them to get into higher education and then get better jobs when they enter the workforce. This is the primary purpose of schools. Compulsory community service would be a distraction from this.Of course, there are some students who would like to do community service and would find it useful in their future careers. They could do it during school hours if they wish. However, this does not mean that it should be compulsory for every student. In fact, making it compulsory could have negative effects if the students have to do work that they do not want to door do not see the use in doing. Students who want to do community service can also easily find ways to it outside school hours, e. g. in the evenings, at the weekends or during the school holidays.To conclude, I strongly disagree with the idea that unpaid community service should be compulsory for high school students, but I think that community service is a good thing for society and should be available to high school students who want to do it.。

IELTS 9 test 1 writing task 1The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.These particular two maps represent how an island constructed for tourism with a few facilities.Turning to the first map before construction, it can be seen that an island, which surrounded by sea, had a few palm trees and a beach in the west.Moving to the other map, one can see that there are some facilities have been built on the island. One of the first things to note is that there are 15 tents for tourists to live in. The first six of them have been built around three palm trees on the west of the island while the others have been constructed on the central part of it. Between these tents, there is a restaurant in the north and a reception unit which is surrounded by a vehicle track.Another thing which stands out from the map is that anyone who wants to go sailing should follow the vehicle track which brings to the pier in the southern side of the island. Also, there is a beach for swimming which can be found on the western part of the island.Overall, after the construction, the island has become an amazing place to rest.IELTS 9 test 1 writing task 2Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?[Answer 1]Some school of thoughts argue that a foreign language should be learnt in the primary school while others argue that this strategy would put extra amount of pressure on the innocent children and subsequently considering the importance, necessity and obligation of learning a foreign language then I strongly believe the thoughts of the first party.Apparently the advantages of learning a foreign language in the primary level cross the minor number of disadvantages. Generally the age of childhood is very fresh and no any type of psychological pressure from their home and outside the home is on their shoulders and they are just free to play, enjoy and study, so the structure of the foreign language can easily be copied in their minds and finally they can become more mature when they get qualified to the secondary school due toOn the other hand some school teachers devise quiet complicated teaching methodologies for teaching students and in the result the children get bored and failed in clearing the examinations of the foreign language. Therefore students could get mentally confused and discouraged to follow up the other school subjects as well. For instance my cousin was trying hard to learn the English language but not succeeded to pass the very basic English language examinations and he also complained the identical reason.To sum up all the observations then we can get a perception that teaching a foreign language to the students of the primary school is the best idea and beneficial for the future of the students but meanwhile a very slow and progressive, enjoyable and transparent teaching strategies should be planned in order to provide a very delightful environment to the lower aged students.[Answer 2]Some experts claim that learning a foreign language at primary school is better than secondary school. While it has some undeniable drawbacks, I could suggest that the children should begin learning the second language from being at primary school.Starting learning foreign language at the early age has many advantages for the primary students. Firstly, learning any language other their mother tongue is just a process of repeating and repeating again the words, phrases, sentences and being also familiar with grammar. They are in control of them to remember and use them regularly in many situations to form natural reaction of that language. Otherwise, almost the primary students have no pressure to learn so hardly is there treat in exam instead really learn. Secondly, it is better for the children to have more time to practice when they approach the foreign language soon. Those students will own completely that second language better than others starting at the secondary school. Additional, children have more chances in their life to take advantage of the foreign language which they master.Nevertheless, we cannot deny some disadvantages of learning a foreign language at secondary school. If teachers at primary school are not good enough to teach, children easily have some fundamental mistakes which are very difficult to fix. In another hand, the children at primary school does not have as much awareness of the importance of owning the second language as those of secondary school.In conclusion, learning a foreign language at secondary school have some shortcoming above but I truly believe that the children should start learning other language at primary.IELTS 9 test 2 writing task 1The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995--2002. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.This chart provides information about the total number of minutes of telephone calls, given in billion minutes, by three different type of call in the UK from 1995-2002. The date can be divided into two groups; one group experienced an increase, while the other group showed fluctuation.With respect to the former group, it can be seen that the national and international fixed line were increase gradually It start at about 38 billion minutes in 1995 and went up to 60 billion minutes in 2002. Likewise, the mobiles also showed the upward trend but the change was significantly. It jumped from about 3 billion minutes in 1995 to about 42 billion minutes in 2002.However, the latter group experienced the highest proportion of the number of minutes of telephone calls but fluctuated. It rose slightly from 70 billion minutes from 1995 to 1999, before falling slightly to the same point in 2002.Overall, over the 8 years observed the most use of the telephone call in the UK was still the local fixed line, while the other 2 groups became more popular.IELTS 9 test 2 writing task 2Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?Community service and pursuits such as charity work are praiseworthy and important ventures. There are both benefits for the individuals who are helped as well as for the volunteers. However, the issue of obligatory community service raises questions as to the extent of the advantages it would provide.If a high school student had to undertake an unpaid position working for a charity, then there may well be a certain amount of resentment on behalf of the student due to the lack of choice and the sacrifices they would have to make in terms of their free time. This could lead to the opposite effect of the programme's intention; to teach teenagers valuable life lessons, such as respect and empathy for others. Conversely, a compulsory volunteering project could have a positive effect on high school pupils as it would become a commonplace and expected situation. As these teenagers grow up, the attributes that they gain from community services could help to shape a better, more caring society.The opportunity to understand hard work, self-discipline and the duty of care that all individuals have is clearly ofmaintain a part-time job in order to support their families or save for their future. Compulsory community service would severely disrupt the requirements of these students and be incompatible with their lives and schedules.To exploit the various advantages that community service offers, it should be available in schools but not be obligatory. If improving the area by picking up litter, for example, was rewarded and respected by institutions, then teenagers would be more likely to happily engage in such activities. In a similar way, if schools were able to provide charitable pursuits that matched an individual's future aspirations, then this would be a better path to follow.In conclusion, I am convinced that offering well-respected and useful opportunities to do community service to high school students is far more beneficial than forced participation.IELTS 9 test 3 writing task 1The charts below give information on the ages of the populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The pie charts illustrate the changes in different ageing sectors of populations in two countries, Yemen and Italy, in the period from 2000 and 2050.In general, the changing patterns of these countries are relatively different. For Yemen, a number of people ageing from 0 to 14 year olds accounted for half of population in 2000, are projected to decrease substantially to just over a third (37%)in 2050. In contrast, 15-19 age group, which just make up 46.3% in 2000, increase to a anticipated high percentage of population in 2050, with 57.3%. Leaving 60-plus category remain almost stable, rising slightly from 3.6% to 5.7% over the same period.On the other hand, Italy shows a opposite pattern of changes, where the aged( 60+ years) tend to more popular, with the predicted dramatic increase from about a fourth to 42,3% from 2000 to 2050. Whilst, people ageing from 15-59 are predicted to decline significantly from nearly two thirds to only 26,2% over the same period, Similarly, young people (0-14 years)also decrease, albeit insignificantly, from 14.3% to 11.5%.Overall, the charts show the two distinctive models of population in two countries: The ageing and young ones.IELTS 9 test 3 writing task 2however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Health is the most important thing in a person life. Some people believe that the standard of public health can be improved by increasing the number of sports facilities, while others refute this statement and emphasis for other methods. These points of view will be discussed in this order.Firstly, it is considered by many persons that the given solution will help people to do the exercise with fun, so more souls will attract to take part in the work out, which is beneficial for health, in their life. For example, in the India, there is a town, ‘Banga’, which has many physical recreation options, such as many grounds, parks and sports clubs. As the result of this, the young and old generations keep busy themselves in the playing and exercising. Consequently, this city has low rate of obesity cases in its region. It is clear from the above instance that the proposed method benefits a city, which leads to the superior public fitness. Thus, it is the reason that many thinkers gravitate towards this suggestion.On the other hand, many individuals disapprove this view and emphasis for the necessity of other ways to improve the health level. For example, they argue that in the 21st century, the life style of humans is very busy, so the people do not have the leisure time to involve themselves into sports activities. Therefore, they prefer other formulas tackle this problem such as the education: the consumption of fast food can be decreased by educating the creatures about the harmful impacts of junk food, and this step contributes in the improvement of the degree of public soundness automatically. Thus, that’s why many people are in the favor of this point of view.From the causes related to the reduction of fatness, time-shortage and education, the issue of increasing the sum of sports facilities has been supported and refuted. However, after the examination of above given facts, it is clear that the other measures are required to raise the level of public health. I strongly believed that the government should take some steps to find the more tactics to improve the level of citizen’s well-being. (Band: 7.4)IELTS 9 test 4 writing task 1The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The line graph illustrates the amount of energy consumed in the USA since 1980 with prevision until 2030 according to a 2008 report.The general overview here is that the consumption by renewable energy as Nuclear, Solar/Wind, Hydro power is always surpassed by fossil fuel as Petrol and Oil, Coal, Natural gas.To specify, in the fossil fuel group, the amount of consumed Petrol and Oil fluctuated in the first fifteen year from 35 quadrillion units to 33 quadrillion units before a significant climb to 47 quadrillion units in 2030. Similarly, after an unstable trend from 20 quadrillion units in 1980 to 25 quadrillion in 2014, the figure of Natural gas will stay unchanged until 2030. However, Coal had seen a considerable increase to 22 quadrillion units in the amount of consumption, followed by gradual rise to 28 quadrillion units in 2030.In comparison, in the rest group, the amount of energy consumed by nuclear increased slightly from 4 quadrillion units to 6 quadrillion units in 2006, before keeping unchanged until 2025, and the figure will go up to 7 quadrillion in 2030. On the contrary, the consumption of Solar/Wind and Hydro power fluctuated to 4 and 3 quadrillion units in 2010, followed by an unchanged trend until 2030.IELTS 9 test 4 writing task 2Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree this opinion?Nowadays, several languages die out every year. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. I agree with mixed of these opinions. I think if we have fewer or one popular language in word, it will be help us to communicate easier to each other in many fields. But in other hand, it cause ruin many thing such as cultures, religions, costumes and indigenous languages. I try to illustrate these aspects in following paragraphs.To begin with, at the present time, world goes to globalization, and many people in world have to communicate to each other. They have to trade, voyage, and go to university and migration to other countries. Clearly if there is one common and popular language in world, this is very easier for them to go to other countries or have trading with other people in the world. For example, my dad is manager of Car Company; he went to Germany for management courses in last year. Now, he says if I did not have good base on Germany language I could not pass those courses. Hence, a common language could be helpful for all people.In the other hand, extinction of indigenous language cause to ruin many cultures, costumes, religions and literatures. These facts build many people and countries histories. These histories were built along many years and so many wars. For example, Greece language is common language in the old Greek. Greece people do many wars for conquering to other people. But now, with death of Greece language those attempts are destroy. Thus, it is very important to protect old and indigenous languages.To put it in a nut shell, I think it is very good to have a common language in the world, but we should respect to protect indigenous languages from forgetting. We should save our wealthy costumes, cultures and literatures.General training test A (Task 1)You are working for a company.

I am writing to request a one-week off work from 22nd to 29th of August.Unfortunately, my aunt had heart attack last night. We took her to a hospital and luckily she narrowly avoided the risk, but she has to be hospitalized for one week. As she has two little children and her husband is on a trip now, I have to look after my aunt’s two children during this week.

In addition, I asked one of my co-workers to present the income of my research instead of me in the next meeting which is supposed to be held on Wednesday morning.I really appreciate your understanding and cooperation in advance.Yours Sincerely,Fereshteh DayaniGeneral training test A (Task 2)Being a celebrity-such as a famous film star or sports personality-brings problems as well as benefits.Do you think that being a celebrity brings more benefits or more problems?There is no doubt that every gold coin has two sides, in that fashion every famous person also has both the effects in their quotidian life, positive and negative. Undoubtedly, as social icon celebrities are belongs to privilege class. Therefore, they enjoy much higher benefits that a common person. However, problems are not avoidable. Nevertheless, their natural life is not easy like others.Celebrities are belongs to diamond class of our society. They normally do not have economic problems and additionally the famous persons are having very good social, political and administrative contacts. Hence, they do enjoy many advantages without any pain, on the other hand, a simple man has to struggle quite a hard for the same facility. For instance, a child of a famous personality can get an admission to a top class school or college without any hindrance, perhaps, without any pretest or examination. Nonetheless, a common person will not get entry for his/her child in the same school or college, no matter how good the student is.Most importantly, celebrities are leading much secure life. Securities are allows securing a celebrities life and assets from strangers. Additionally, a famous person and his family are highly restricted from a common crowd.However, a celebrity con not lives his/her natural life for his iconic personality and security arrangements, deployed for him. Celebrities are allows surrounded by media, therefore, iconic people do not spend quality time publically. Additionally, famous personalities are role model for many people. Hence, each and every moves of a social icon is ac countable for judgment, for society’s benefits. In this situation, no human being can lead his/her life comfortable.In conclusion, being a celebrity, famous people have much stronger responsibilities towards the nation. Therefore, their life is protected and restricted too. However, being a famous personality, people do enjoy more benefits then hindrance. However, problems are not ignorable.General training test B (Task 1)On a recent holiday you lost a valuable item. Fortunately you have travel insurance to cover the cost of anything lost.

I shall be very thankful to you for this.Yours faithfully,James Smith.General training test B (Task 2)Some people think that the teenage years are the happiness times of most people’s lives. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of greater responsibilities. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.[Answer 1]Every person wants to enjoy each stage of life happily. Some people believe that the best phase of life is teenage, while others perceive that adulthood is the happiest period.Adults can live joyfully in the following ways. Firstly, they can use the money earned in their profession to buy things which enable them to lead quality life. Further, they can have peace of mind as they start saving for future. Secondly, they are matured enough to understand what really makes them cheerful on a sustained basis with minimal effort. Due to this, they can rejoice every moment of their life as they could foresee and adjust accordingly. Thirdly, they can experience wide variety of events such as becoming a husband, father etc. Hence, they can enjoy life to the fullest possible extent. For instance, I became much happier and enjoying the role of husband after getting life partner. On the whole, adulthood provides plenty of opportunities to please ourselves.On the other hand, teenage is also pleasurable in several ways. Primarily, teenage people do not have any obligations or duties, therefore they can find free time to play the sports they like. Secondarily, the mistakes made by them are forgiven easily as they do not have maturity. Consequently, they can explore novel things which intrigue them. Nevertheless, sometimes they may get addicted to harmful habits such as smoking due to lack of mental maturity.To conclude, I opine that, adulthood is more enjoyable compared to teenage as they can experience diverse things which make life fulfilling despite the responsibilities, whilst teenagers can enjoy only a limited and specific set of things.[Answer 2]A popular topic talked about by people in all walks of life is which the most enjoyable age is. Some people say that it is school life whereas others prefer mature life. This essay will discuss both of these responses. However, in my opinion, adult age outweigh adolescent age.Regarding the young age, clearly its advantages come mainly from the low degree of responsibilities. First, people in thisfrom schools early leading to have a great amount of leisure time, unlike adults who tend to have short rest time because of work. In addition, due to their parent's support, these juveniles have only few things to be concerned about. To illustrate, when they get ill, they could stay on beds, because their parents will look after them. Therefore, they are likely to have a great number of pleasant days.On the other hand, although they are responsible for a variety of tasks, people in working age have two major benefits. Obviously, they earn money for themselves causing them to be able to afford more favorite items. A good example is expensive toys which could not be had in the past because parents though they were extravagant. They can buy it easily when they work. Similarly, adults are likely to be independent from any ones, particularly parents. Thus, they can do what they are keen on without limitations. For instance, sport lovers can come home very late in order to do exercise for long hours. This situation would be difficult to happen if they were children.To conclude, it is unfair to claim any side as a totally correct answer, because this is a subjective question. However, I missed several things in the past resulting from my parent's strictness. Hence, I prefer mature time to teenagers.。

雅思写作高分范文（21篇）雅思写作高分篇1也许是交通问题已经困扰世界各国人民太久了，所以各国政府都纷纷在交通建设和改善方面做出了不小的努力。

但是对于政府花钱建设更多的铁路而不是公路这样的`观点，我本人表示不能完全赞成。

It is perhaps the long-disturbing traffic issue that drives governments all over the globe to make great efforts in establishing or improving theirtraffic system. Nevertheless, I still cannot be enrolled in the camp that claims it is wise to construct railway rather than roads. (45 words)首先，我不得不承认修建铁路在某种程度上是一件利国利民的事情。

毕竟与其他交通方式相比，铁路运输的单位时间运载量最大，陆路运输速度最快。

同时，由于铁路运输依靠强大的运营系统控制其运行，几乎不会造成交通拥堵。

显然，修建铁路是一件有益的事情。

Undoubtedly, the railway construction, in a way, can be deemed as a win-win program for both the country and its citizens. After all, pared with other types of transportation, the transporting load of railage in a unit time is the largest and it is also the fastest approach of conveyance on land. Simultaneously, due to its strikingly strong operating system in running, it can scarcely entail any congestion. Evidently, it is advantageous to implement the plan referred to railway establishment. (80 words)但无论是铁路建设还是公路建设，都要取决于很多综合因素，比如城市发展规模、人口流动范围、地址环境等等。

雅思考试满分作文范文【5篇】1.美满如何定义Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness?lt is no doubt true that the majority of people would like tobe happy in their lives.While the personal nature of happiness makes it difficult to describe, there do seem to besome common needs that we all share with regard to e*periencing or achieving happiness.Happiness is difficult to define because it means something different to each individual person. Nobody can fully understand or e*perience another persons feelings, and we all have our own particular passions from which we take pleasure. Some people, for e*ample, derive a sense of satisfaction from earning money or achieving success,whereas for others, health and family are much more important. At the same time, a range of other feelings, from e*citement to peacefulness, may be associated with the idea of happiness, and the same person may therefore feel happy in a variety of different ways.Although it seems almost impossible to give a precise definition of happiness, most people would agree that there are some basic preconditions to achieving it. Firstly, it is hardfor a person to be happy if he or she does not have a safe place to live and enough food to eat. Our basic survival needs must surely be met before we can lead a pleasant life.Secondly, the greatest joy in life is usually found in shared e*periences with family and friends, and it is rare to find a person who is content tolive in complete isolation. Other key factors could be individual freedom and a sense of purpose in life.ln conclusion, happiness is difficult to define because it is particular to each individual, but l believe that our basic needs for shelter, food and company need to be fulfilled before we can e*perience it.2.环境污染E*plain some of the ways in which humans are damagingthe environment. What can governments do to addressthese problems? What can individual people do?说明一些环境污染的途径，政府和人们能够做什么?Humans are responsible for a variety of environmental problems, but we can also take steps to reduce the damage that we are causing to the planet. This essay will discuss environmental problems and the measures that governments and individuals can take to address these problems.Two of the biggest threats to the environment are air pollution and waste. Gas emissions from factories and e*haust fumes from vehicles lead to global warming, which may have a devastating effect on the planet in the future. As the human population increases, we are also producing ever greater quantities of waste, which contaminates the earth and pollutes rivers and oceans.Governments could certainly make more effort to reduce air pollution. They could introduce laws to limit emissions from factories or to force companies to use renewable energy from solar, wind or water power. They could also impose green ta*es on drivers and airline companies. In this way, people would beencouraged to use public transport and to take fewer flights abroad, therefore reducing emissions.Individuals should also take responsibility for the impact they have on the environment. They can take public transport rather than driving, choose products with less packaging, and recycle as much as possible. Most supermarkets now provide reusable bags for shoppers as well as banks for recycling glass, plastic and paper in their car parks. By reusing and recycling, we can help to reduce waste.In conclusion, both national governments and individuals must play their part in looking after the environment.3.爱好爰好困难有意思Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult tobe enjoyable.To what e*tent do you agree or disagree?一些人认为爱好爰好困难才会有意思。

雅思写作大作文必看高分范文TASK 2: 高分范文一Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To whatdo you agree or disagree?Nowadays, an increasing number of people are concerned about environmental protection and regard it as one of the most important challenges. However, whether only governments and big firms have resources and powers to preserve our environment is a controversial issue. My view is that every single citizen could also make a huge difference.In the first place, it is clear that it is human activities that have the greatest impact throughout the history. Both environment contamination and conservation are the long-term process, and no single government or big company can meet this challenge alone. So whoever created the problem should be responsible for solving it; environment protection needs every one of us to continuously participate in.Moreover, the public’s wills and behaviors have critical influence on government’s policies and companies’strategies. For example, if everyone says “no” to plastic shopping bags and paper cups, the companies that manufacture such products will switch to environmental-friendly substitutes in order to survive in the market.However, that is not to say that governments and large companies cannot positively contribute. Indeed, governments can enact laws and introduce programs to raise the public’s low-carbon awareness; companies can promote green products to change the public’s consuming habits. But they also need every citizen’s appreciation and support to bring good results.In sum, no effort is too small when we are protecting the environment. Meanwhile, local authorities and organizations must shoulder their responsibility to develop low-carbon economy at the macro level. Only by doing so can we assure that we could hand this beautiful planet to our next generation and the next generation after.TASK 2: 高分范文二-----ArgumentationThe Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades. Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive. What are your opinions on this?The Internet has brought significant changes to our lives in recent years. However, there remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of this technology has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally believe that the benefits of the Internet far outweigh its drawbacks and these benefits are twofold.First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate. Despite the risk of social isolation-a problem occasionally seen in people who spend too much time at their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the real world-most of us have benefited greatly from e-mails and Internet chat programs like MSN Messenger. These incredibly useful and powerful tools of communication facilitate both contact with loved ones in faraway places and global trade.Moreover, the Internet has placed the entire world (and all of the information in it) at our fingertips. In earlier times, conducting research entailed long hours searching library shelves. Now, however, the same information can be accessed at the click of a button. Admittedly, not all of the information available on the Internet is reliable or helpful-there is a vast amount of material online that some would consider offensive or dangerous, ranging from pornography to instructions on how to make bombs. Nonetheless, I would contend that this free flow of information has generally been a very positive development.By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that the Internet has had a positive impact on modern life because of its influences on communication and the flow of information.TASK 2: 高分范文三-----ReportWith divorce rates and family breakdowns increasing globally, it is generally accepted that families today are not close as they used to be.Discuss the causes of this problem and offer some possible solutions to it.Divorce and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago. Now, however, almost half of all marriages fail. This phenomenon is symptomatic of the growing distance between family members in modern society. In this essay, I intend to explore the sources of this problem along with some possible solutions to it.Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle. Today’s parents have to work harder than those of previous generations to support their families. Traditionally, one parent assumed the role of breadwinner, while the other-typically the mother-acted as the homemaker. Recently, though, double income families have become the norm. Consequently, an increasing number of children now grow up in a parentless environment. Little wonder, then, that they feel alienated. Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary nature of many modern forms of entertainment.In order to solve this sense of alienation within families, I believe we must first address its root causes. Perhaps the most effective method of doing this would be for governments to offer financial incentives to parents who choose to remain at home and take care of their families. Admittedly, such incentives would probably not fully compensate couples for lost income; however, they would at least soften the hardship of living on a single income and provide an alternative for parents who would rather remain at home but are unable to do so because of financial constraints. One further measure would be to promote more interactive leisure activities in the community through public education campaigns.In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexity that no solution is likely in the short term. However, I believe that the measures outlined above would constitute a good first step.Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while other think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of “fairness” is not the issue.While those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professionals and achievements.In many countries, the proportion of older people is steadily increasing. Does this trend have more positive or negative effects on society?In more and more developed countries we see the following trends: incomes rise, people get married later and have fewer kids. The result is the demographics change and the population ages. While having more old people sounds like a good thing (as they tend to be kind and warm-hearted), it can have a serious impact on economies and societies.Co nsider, for example, that in order for a country’s GDP to grow it needs to produce more goods and services each year. With an aging population and more people retiring, fewer are left to work, creating an economic hole. The result is that such countries have to rely on immigration to fill the gap and this is a less-than-desirable solution.Consider also, that as more people reach their twilight years they will face increasing health problems and this puts huge pressure on health care and other social programs. In most countries the government pays for at least some of the costs of health care, not to mention things like pensions, all of which means a big bill someone has to pay for.To be fair, however, we should be careful not to direct our anger towards old people themselves. Old people can still make contributions to society, whether it means helping look after grandchildren, working part time or even doing voluntary work. On an individual level, old people can be a real treasure.To sum up, governments should recognize the challenges of an aging society and take the appropriate action. But in addition to fixing the short-term impact of an older society, they should also look at the bigger picture and do their best so that in the future we have a better age balance.。

考官Simon雅思大作文范文(28篇).pdf题目;The charts below show the results of a questionnaire that asked visitors to the Parkway Hotel how they rated the hotel's customer service. The same questionnaire was given to 100 guests in the years 2005 and 2010.题目;下面的图表显示了调查问卷的结果，该调查问卷向Parkway Hotel的访客询问他们如何评价酒店的客户服务。

在2005年和2010年，向100位客人提供了同样的问卷。

范文：The pie charts compare visitors’ responses to a survey about customer service at the Parkway Hotel in 2005 and in 2010.It is clear that overall customer satisfaction increased considerably from 2005 to 2010. While most hotel guests rated customer service as satisfactory or poor in 2005, a clear majority described the hotel’s service as good or excellent in 2010.Looking at the positive responses first, in 2005 only 5% of the hotel’s visitors rated its customer service as excellent, but this figure rose to 28% in 2010. Furthermore, while only 14% of guests described customer service in the hotel as good in 2005, almost three times as many people gave this rating five years later.With regard to negative feedback, the proportion of guests who considered the hotel’s customer service to be poor fell from 21% in 2005 to only 12% in 2010. Similarly, the proportion of people who thought customer service was very poor dropped from 15% to only 4% over the 5-year period. Finally, a fall in the number of ‘satisfactory’ ratings in 2010 reflects the fact that more people gave positive responses to the survey in that year.(193 words, band 9)饼图比较了访客对2005年和2010年百汇酒店客户服务调查的回应。

雅思写作满分范文(合集15篇)雅思写作满分范文第1篇Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on your personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life.Which do you consider to be the major influence?（2012年5月真题）Today the way we consider human psychology and mental development is heavily influenced by the genetic sciences. We now understand the importance ofinherited characteristics more than ever before. Yet we are still unable to decide whether an individual's personality and development are more influenced by genetic factors (nature) or by the environment (nurture).Research, relating to identical twins, has highlighted how significant inherited characteristics can be for an individual's life. But whether these characteristics are able to develop within the personality of an individual surely depends on whether the circumstances allow such a development. it seems that the experiences we have in life are so unpredictable and so powerful, that they can boost or over-ride other influences, and there seems to be plenty of research findings to confirm this.My own view is that there is no one major influence in a person's life. Instead, the traits, we inherit from our parents and the situations and experiences we have in life are constantly interacting. It is the interacting ofthe two that shapes a person's personality and dictates how that personality develops. If this were not true, then we would be able to predict the behaviour and character of a person from the moment they were born.In conclusion, I do not think that either nature or nurture is the major influence on a person, but that both have powerful effects. How these factors interact is still unknown today and they remain largely unpredictable in a person's life.雅思写作满分范文第2篇Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define?What factors are important in achieving happiness?Happiness is very difficult to define, because it means so many different things to different people. While some people link happiness to wealth and material success,others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships. Yet others think that spiritual paths, rather than either the material world or relationships with people, are the only way to true happiness.Because people interpret happiness for themselves in so many different ways, it is difficult to give any definition that is true for everyone. However, if there are different kinds of happiness for different individuals then the first step in achieving it would be to have a degree of self-knowledge. A personneeds to know who he or she is before being able to know what it is that makes him or her happy.Of course, factors such as loving relationship, good health, the skills to earn a living and a peaceful environment all contribute to our happiness too. But this does not mean that people without these conditions cannot be happy.Overall, I think an ability to keep clear perspectives in life is a more essential factor in achieving happiness. By that I mean an ability to have a clear sense of what is important in our lives (the welfare of our families, the quality of our relationships, making other people happy, etc.) and what is not (a problem at work,getting annoyed about trivial things, etc.).Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be the most important for achieving happiness.(262words)雅思写作满分范文第3篇给出一个社会热点问题，探讨产生的原因及解决方案注意：探讨原因影响解决方案时，从「个人」「社会」「国家」三个不同角度思考开头段：It is undoubtedly the case that urban areas around the world increasingly suffer from _(+社会热点问题）________ .

（完整版）剑桥英语9雅思考官范⽂（⼤作⽂+⼩作⽂）剑9 1-2Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?Traditionally children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school,but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools,with both positive and negative outcomes.The obvious argument in its favour is that young children pick up languages much more easily than teenagers. Their brains are still programmed to acquire their mother tongue, which facilitates leaning another language, and unlike adolescents, they are not inhibited by self-consciousness.The greater flexibility of the primary timetable allows for more frequent,shorter sessions and for a play-centred approach, thus maintaining learners’enthusiasm and progress. Their command of the language in late life will benefit from this early exposure, while learning other languages subsequently will be easier for them. They may also gain a better understanding of other cultures.There are,however, some disadvantages. Primary school teachers are generalists, and may not have the necessary language skills themselves. If specialists have to be brought in to deliver these sessions, the flexibility referred to above is diminished, if primary language teaching is not standardised, secondary schools could be faced with a great variety of levels in different languages within their intake,resulting in a classroom experience which undoes the earlier gains. There is no advantage if enthusiastic primarypupils become demotivated as soon as they change school.However,these issues can be addressed strategically within the policy adopted.Anything which encourage language learning benefits society culturally and economically, and early exposure to language learning contributes to this. Young children’s innate abilities should be harnessed to make these benefits more achievable.剑9 2-1The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995-2002. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The chart shows the time spent by UK residents on different type of telephone calls between 1995 and 2002.Local fixed line calls were the highest throughout the period, rising from 72 billion minutes in 1995 to just under 90 billion in 1998. After peaking at 90 billion the following year, these calls had fallen back to the 1995 figure by 2002.National and international fixed line calls grew steadily from 38 billion to 61 billion at the end of the period in question, though the growth slowed over the last two years.There was a dramatic increase in mobile calls from 2 billion to 46 billion minutes.This rise was particularly noticeable between 1999 and 2002, during which time the use of mobile phone tripled.To sum up, although local fixed line call were still the most popular in 2002, the gap between the three categories had narrowed considerably over the second half of the period in question.剑9 3-2Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.A problem of modern societies is the declining level of health in the general population, with conflicting views on how to tackle this worrying trend. Onepossible solution is to provide more sports facilities to encourage a more active lifestyle.Advocates of this believe that today’s sedentary lifestyle and stressful working conditions mean that physical activity is no longer part of either our work or our leisure time. If there were easy-to-reach local sports centres, we would be more likely to make exercise a regular part of our lives, rather than just collapsing in front of a screen every evening. The variety of sports that could be offered would cater for all ages, levels of fitness and interests;those with painful memories of PE at school might be happier in the swimming pool than on the football pitch.However, there may be better ways of tackling this problem. Interest in sport is not universal, and additional facilities might simply attract the already fit, not those who most need them. Physical activity could be encouraged relatively cheaply, forexample by installing exercise equipment in parks, as my local council has done. This has the added benefit that parents andchildren often use them together just for fun, which develops a positive attitude to exercise at an early age.As well as physical activity, high tax penalties could be imposed on high-fat food products, tobacco and alcohol, as excessive consumption of any of these contributes to poor health. Even improving public transport would help: it takes longer to walk to the bus stop than to the car.In my opinion,focusing on sports facilities is too narrow an approach and would not have the desired results. People should be encouraged not only to be more physically active but also to adopt a healthier lifestyle in general.剑9 4-1The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since 1980 with projections until 2030.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The graph shows energy consumption in the US from 1980 to 2012, and projected consumption to 2030.Petrol and oil are the dominant fuel sources throughout this period, with 35 quadrillion (35q) units used in 1980, rising to 42q in 2012. Despite some initial fluctuation. From 1995 there was a steady increase. This is expected to continue, reaching 47q in 2030.Consumption of energy derived from natural gas and coal is similar over theperiod. From 20q and 15q respectively in 1980, gas showed an initial fall and coal a gradual increase, with the two fuels equal between 1985 and 1990. Consumption has fluctuated since 1990 but both now provide 24q. Coal is predicted to increase steadily to 31q in 2030, whereas after 2014, gas will remain stable at 25q.In 1980, energy from nuclear, hydro-and solar/wind power was equal at only 4q.Nuclear has risen by 3q, and solar/wind by 2. After slight increase, hydropower has fallen back to the 1980 figure. It is expected to maintain this level until 2030. While the others should rise slightly after 2025.Overall, the US will continue to rely on fossil fuels, with sustainable and nuclear energy sources remaining relatively insignificant.。

1.题目：Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced films.Why could this be?Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?范文：It is true that foreign films are more popular in many countries than domestically produced films. There could be several reasons why this is the case,and I believe that governments should promote local film-making by subsidising the industry.There are various reasons why many people find foreign films more enjoyable than the films produced in their own countries.Firstly,the established film industries in certain countries have huge budgets for action,special effects and to shoot scenes in spectacular locations.Hollywood blockbusters like‘Avatar’or the James Bond films are examples of such productions and the global appeal that they have.Another reason why these big-budget films are so successful is that they often star the most famous actors and actresses,and they are made by the most accomplished producers and directors.The poor quality,low-budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.In my view,governments should support local film industries financially.In every country,there may be talented amateur film-makers who just need to be given the opportunity to prove themselves.To compete with big-budget productions from overseas,these people need money to pay for film crews,actors and a host of other costs related to producing high-quality films.If governments did help with these costs,they would see an increase in employment in the film industry,income from film sales,and perhaps even a rise in tourist numbers.New Zealand,for example,has seen an increase in tourism related to the'Lord of the Rings'films,which were partly funded by government subsidies.In conclusion,I believe that increased financial support could help to raise the quality of locally made films and allow them to compete with the foreign productions that currently dominate the market.(295words,band9)2.题目：Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?范文：It is sometimes argued that tourists from overseas should be charged more than local residents to visit important sites and monuments.I completely disagree with this idea.The argument in favour of higher prices for foreign tourists would be that cultural or historical attractions often depend on state subsidies to keep them going,which means that the resident population already pays money to these sites through the tax system.However,I believe this to be a very shortsighted view.Foreign tourists contribute to the economy of the host country with the money they spend on a wide range of goods and services,including food,souvenirs, accommodation and travel.The governments and inhabitants of every country should be happy to subsidise important tourist sites and encourage people from the rest of the world to visit them. If travellers realised that they would have to pay more to visit historical and cultural attractions in a particular nation,they would perhaps decide not to go to that country on holiday.To take the UK as an example,the tourism industry and many related jobs rely on visitors coming to the country to see places like Windsor Castle or Saint Paul’s Cathedral.These two sites charge the same price regardless of nationality,and this helps to promote the nation’s cultural heritage.If overseas tourists stopped coming due to higher prices,there would be a risk of insufficient funding for the maintenance of these important buildings.In conclusion,I believe that every effort should be made to attract tourists from overseas,and it would be counterproductive to make them pay more than local residents.(269words,band9)3.题目：Some people think that in the modern world we are more dependent on each other, while others think that people have become more independent.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.范文：People have different views about whether we are more or less dependent on others nowadays. In my view,modern life forces us to be more independent than people were in the past.There are two main reasons why it could be argued that we are more dependent on each other now.Firstly,life is more complex and difficult,especially because the cost of living has increased so dramatically.For example,young adults tend to rely on their parents for help when buying a house.Property prices are higher than ever,and without help it would be impossible for many people to pay a deposit and a mortgage.Secondly,people seem to be more ambitious nowadays, and they want a better quality of life for their families.This means that both parents usually need to work full-time,and they depend on support from grandparents and babysitters for child care.However,I would agree with those who believe that people are more independent these days.In most countries,families are becoming smaller and more dispersed,which means that people cannot count on relatives as much as they used to.We also have more freedom to travel and live far away from our home towns.For example,many students choose to study abroad instead of going to their local university,and this experience makes them more independent as they learn to live alone.Another factor in this growing independence is technology,which allows us to work alone and from any part of the world.In conclusion,while there are some reasons to believe that people now depend on each other more,my own view is that we are more independent than ever.4.题目：When choosing a job,the salary is the most important consideration.To what extent do you agree or disagree?范文：Many people choose their jobs based on the size of the salary offered.Personally,I disagree with the idea that money is the key consideration when deciding on a career,because I believe that other factors are equally important.On the one hand,I agree that money is necessary in order for people to meet their basic needs. For example,we all need money to pay for housing,food,bills,health care,and education.Most people consider it a priority to at least earn a salary that allows them to cover these needs and have a reasonable quality of life.If people chose their jobs based on enjoyment or other non-financial factors,they might find it difficult to support themselves.Artists and musicians,for instance,are known for choosing a career path that they love,but that does not always provide them with enough money to live comfortably and raise a family.Nevertheless,I believe that other considerations are just as important as what we earn in our jobs. Firstly,personal relationships and the atmosphere in a workplace are extremely important when choosing a job.Having a good manager or friendly colleagues,for example,can make a huge difference to workers’levels of happiness and general quality of life.Secondly,many people’s feelings of job satisfaction come from their professional achievements,the skills they learn,and the position they reach,rather than the money they earn.Finally,some people choose a career because they want to help others and contribute something positive to society.In conclusion,while salaries certainly affect people’s choice of profession,I do not believe that money outweighs all other motivators.5.题目Nowadays animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products.Some people argue that these experiments should be banned because it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer,while others are in favour of them because of their benefits to humanity.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.范文：It is true that medicines and other products are routinely tested on animals before they are cleared for human use.While I tend towards the viewpoint that animal testing is morally wrong,I would have to support a limited amount of animal experimentation for the development of medicines.On the one hand,there are clear ethical arguments against animal experimentation.To use a common example of this practice,laboratory mice may be given an illness so that the effectiveness of a new drug can be measured.Opponents of such research argue that humans have no right to subject animals to this kind of trauma,and that the lives of all creatures should be respected.They believe that the benefits to humans do not justify the suffering caused,and that scientists should use alternative methods of research.On the other hand,reliable alternatives to animal experimentation may not always be available. Supporters of the use of animals in medical research believe that a certain amount of suffering on the part of mice or rats can be justified if human lives are saved.They argue that opponents of such research might feel differently if a member of their own families needed a medical treatment that had been developed through the use of animal experimentation.Personally,I agree with the banning of animal testing for non-medical products,but I feel that it may be a necessary evil where new drugs and medical procedures are concerned.In conclusion,it seems to me that it would be wrong to ban testing on animals for vital medical research until equally effective alternatives have been developed.(270words,band9)6.题目：Some people think that governments should give financial support to creative artists such as painters and musicians.Others believe that creative artists should be funded by alternative sources.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.范文：People have different views about the funding of creative artists.While some people disagree with the idea of government support for artists,I believe that money for art projects should come from both governments and other sources.Some art projects definitely require help from the state.In the UK,there are many works of art in public spaces,such as streets or squares in city centres.In Liverpool,for example,there are several new statues and sculptures in the docks area of the city,which has been redeveloped recently.These artworks represent culture,heritage and history.They serve to educate people about the city,and act as landmarks or talking points for visitors and ernments and local councils should pay creative artists to produce this kind of art,because without their funding our cities would be much less interesting and attractive.On the other hand,I can understand the arguments against government funding for art.The main reason for this view is that governments have more important concerns.For example,state budgets need to be spent on education,healthcare,infrastructure and security,among other areas.These public services are vital for a country to function properly,whereas the work of creative artists,even in public places,is a luxury.Another reason for this opinion is that artists do a job like any other professional,and they should therefore earn their own money by selling their work.In conclusion,there are good reasons why artists should rely on alternative sources of financial support,but in my opinion government help is sometimes necessary.7.题目：Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community.They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole.Do you agree or disagree?范文;Many young people work on a volunteer basis,and this can only be beneficial for both the individual and society as a whole.However,I do not agree that we should therefore force all teenagers to do unpaid work.Most young people are already under enough pressure with their studies,without being given the added responsibility of working in their spare time.School is just as demanding as a full-time job,and teachers expect their students to do homework and exam revision on top of attending lessons every day.When young people do have some free time,we should encourage them to enjoy it with their friends or to spend it doing sports and other leisure activities.They have many years of work ahead of them when they finish their studies.At the same time,I do not believe that society has anything to gain from obliging young people to do unpaid work.In fact,I would argue that it goes against the values of a free and fair society to force a group of people to do something against their will.Doing this can only lead to resentment amongst young people,who would feel that they were being used,and parents,who would not want to be told how to raise their children.Currently,nobody is forced to volunteer, and this is surely the best system.In conclusion,teenagers may choose to work for free and help others,but in my opinion we should not make this compulsory.(250words,band9)8.题目There are many different types of music in the world today.Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?范文：It is true that a rich variety of musical styles can be found around the world.Music is a vital part of all human cultures for a range of reasons,and I would argue that traditional music is more important than modern,international music.Music is something that accompanies all of us throughout our lives.As children,we are taught songs by our parents and teachers as a means of learning language,or simply as a form of enjoyment.Children delight in singing with others,and it would appear that the act of singing in a group creates a connection between participants,regardless of their ter in life,people’s musical preferences develop,and we come to see our favourite songs as part of our life stories. Music both expresses and arouses emotions in a way that words alone cannot.In short,it is difficult to imagine life without it.In my opinion,traditional music should be valued over the international music that has become so popular.International pop music is often catchy and fun,but it is essentially a commercial product that is marketed and sold by business people.Traditional music,by contrast,expresses the culture,customs and history of a country.Traditional styles,such as...(example)...,connect us to the past and form part of our cultural identity.It would be a real pity if pop music became so predominant that these national styles disappeared.In conclusion,music is a necessary part of human existence,and I believe that traditional music should be given more importance than international music.(261words,band9)9.题目：Some people regard video games as harmless fun,or even as a useful educational tool.Others,however,believe that videos games are having an adverse effect on the people who play them.In your opinion,do the drawbacks of video games outweigh the benefits?范文：Many people,and children in particular,enjoy playing computer games.While I accept that these games can sometimes have a positive effect on the user,I believe that they are more likely to have a harmful impact.On the one hand,video games can be both entertaining and ers,or gamers,are transported into virtual worlds which are often more exciting and engaging than real-life pastimes.From an educational perspective,these games encourage imagination and creativity, as well as concentration,logical thinking and problem solving,all of which are useful skills outside the gaming context.Furthermore,it has been shown that computer simulation games can improve users’motor skills and help to prepare them for real-world tasks,such as flying a plane.However,I would argue that these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks.Gaming can be highly addictive because users are constantly given scores,new targets and frequent rewards to keep them playing.Many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of a game or to get a higher score than their friends.This type of addiction can have effects ranging from lack of sleep to problems at school,when homework is sacrificed for a few more hours on the computer or console.The rise in obesity in recent years has also been linked in part to the sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise that often accompany gaming addiction.In conclusion,it seems to me that the potential dangers of video games are more significant than the possible benefits.(258words,band9)10.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 from65to70.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.(265words,band9)。
