第一篇：雅思寫作

Topic: Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society.Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this.Discuss both views and give your opinion.A child’s education has never been learning information and basic skills only.It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society.Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.In order to be a good member of any society the individual must respect and obey the rules of their community and share their values.Educating children to understand the need to obey rules and respect others always begins in the home and is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents.They will certainly be the first to help children learn what is important in life, how they are expected to behave and what role they will play in their world.However, learning to understand and share the value system of a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home.Once a child goes to school, they are entering a wider community where teachers and peers will have just as much influence as their parents do at home.At school, children will experience working and living with people from a whole variety of backgrounds from the wider society.This experience should teach them how to co-operate with each other and how to contribute to the life of their community.But to be a valuable member of any community is not like learning a simple skill.It is something that an individual goes on learning throughout life and it is the responsibility of every member of a society to take responsibility for helping the younger generation to become active and able members of that society.

雅思寫作范文

Many old building are protected by law because they are part of a nation's history.However，some people think knocked down to make way for new ones because people need houses and offices.How important is it to maintain old buildings？ Should history stand in the way of progress？Old buildings sometimes conflicts with social advancement.Appealing as it is in the eyes of business people，tearing down old architect to make room for real-estate development is not a wise idea in many ways.The primarily reason is that old buildings，like our native language，forms our cultural identity and keep a unique record the history of a country.From this aspect，old buildings are considered very valuable as one of the symbols of the culture of a nation.For instance，the traditional Chinese residence in Beijing，Siheyuan，are once seen as the remains of the Old World，and were destroyed by people shortly after the founding of People's Republic of China.Until recently did the people and policy makers as well realize that it is an inexcusable and stupid idea to commit such a terrible deed because old buildings，once gone，are not restorable.But their economic values and aesthetic appeals have just caught the attention of Chinese people.Moreover，old buildings，if planed and preserved properly，could coexist with modern real-estate development.In France，aged buildings bring millions of dollars of revenue for the government and amazed thousands of tourists.Yet no one thinks the high-rising office buildings and apartment buildings make the old architect a sore of the eye.By contrast，the new learn from the old，a fact that makes them more attractive.We admit that not all old buildings should be treated equally and some of them do need to be torn down for various reasons such as safety and new buildings.However，we should not be too blind to see their value too.If only the real and practical factors are being considered，the country will be sorry for its loss in years to come.As we have discussed，old buildings are part of a country's history and are valuable in many ways.We should plan well and be wise enough to see their value.But the same time，we should also do our best to find solutions to make the old and the new coexist in harmony.

第三篇：雅思寫作

很多人在準(zhǔn)備雅思考試的初期都會(huì)問幾乎相同的問題：“需要多大的詞匯量？”“應(yīng)該背哪本詞匯表？”就這些問題，北語雅思的看法如下：

雅思是個(gè)能力考試（a proficiency test），與人們所熟悉的 achievement test 不同。

所謂 achievement test，是指那些對(duì)學(xué)生所學(xué)過的知識(shí)進(jìn)行檢測(cè)的考試。如每學(xué)期的期 中、期末考試。一般來說，在這樣的考試前，學(xué)校都會(huì)安排復(fù)習(xí)，老師也許還會(huì)劃定復(fù)習(xí)范圍。這些考試都和教學(xué)大綱規(guī)定的內(nèi)容和進(jìn)度等有關(guān)。考試的內(nèi)容一般不超出大綱規(guī)定的內(nèi)容。以英語為例，大綱規(guī)定了詞匯表，試題中如有超綱詞要注明中文定義。所以，每當(dāng)面臨一個(gè)新的考試時(shí)，考生會(huì)很自然地問：看哪幾本書？有沒有詞匯表？

一般來說，proficiency test 與教學(xué)進(jìn)度、內(nèi)容、教學(xué)大綱等無關(guān)，自然也與詞匯表無關(guān)。市面上有“雅思詞匯”

七、八本之多，均為出版社為了賺錢，雇人編寫的，沒有一本具有所謂“權(quán)威性”。稍好一些的有例句說明單詞的用法，差的只給出中文定義。如果想背詞匯，隨便買本“托福詞匯”、“

四、六級(jí)詞匯”、甚至某本英漢辭典，效果是一樣的。

其實(shí)，詞匯的最好學(xué)習(xí)方法是通過大量的閱讀來學(xué)習(xí)，而這種大量的閱讀正是雅思考試閱讀部分所側(cè)重的。備戰(zhàn)一個(gè) proficiency test 時(shí)，最好的準(zhǔn)備方法就是：考什么，準(zhǔn)備什么。考閱讀，就通過閱讀準(zhǔn)備，而不是通過背詞匯表準(zhǔn)備。

常有考生問：考雅思需要多大的詞匯量？很多人把詞匯量看成是能力的標(biāo)志，這又回到 achievement test 和 achievement test 問題上。如果能從知識(shí)和能力的方面劃分考試的話，對(duì)詞匯量的測(cè)試是知識(shí)型的測(cè)試。有些考生可以得很高的知識(shí)分，但能力欠佳，即所謂“高分低能”。換言之，詞匯量不是能力標(biāo)志。從另一個(gè)角度看，詞匯量的統(tǒng)計(jì)也有問題。以下這些詞怎么算：

act, actor, actress, action, active, activity, react, reactive, reaction, counteract, interact, hyperactive 等等，這到底算幾個(gè)詞。

那么該用什么來判斷一個(gè)人是否達(dá)到了挑戰(zhàn)雅思的水平呢？很簡(jiǎn)單，做

一、兩套模擬題就可以了。拿體育作比喻，如果你想知道自己跑一百米需要多少秒，最好的辦法就是去跑。而不是分析自己的心臟情況、血壓、體重等。當(dāng)你知道自己“吃幾碗干飯”，再去做相應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)備，去有針對(duì)性地練爆發(fā)力、步幅、節(jié)奏等。

在作聽力和閱讀試題時(shí)，三分之一的正確率就是一個(gè)很好的起點(diǎn)。經(jīng)過一學(xué)期的脫產(chǎn)培訓(xùn)，在考試中獲得6段是有可能的。如果起始正確率能達(dá)到三分之二，也許不用參加培訓(xùn)，考自己多做幾套模擬試題，就可以獲得很好的成績(jī)。如果正確率在三分之一以下，那就不應(yīng)該上雅思培訓(xùn)班，而應(yīng)該上一個(gè)不和任何考試掛

鉤的培訓(xùn)班。這樣的班更好地解決打基礎(chǔ)、提高能力的問題，因?yàn)榇蟛糠盅潘寂嘤?xùn)班都花很多達(dá)到時(shí)間琢磨應(yīng)試技巧，而顧及不到能力的提高。

如何自測(cè)口語和寫作呢？看一看雅思口語和寫作的題目，你自己離議論這些題目還差多遠(yuǎn)？要想在口語和寫作考試中獲得有意義的分?jǐn)?shù)（6段），應(yīng)該能達(dá)到“侃”的水平。如論述“大城市面臨的交通問題的原因、現(xiàn)狀、出路”；“在教育孩子的過程中?懲罰?的作用”；“很多人感到越來越忙，沒有閑暇時(shí)間，原因是什么，應(yīng)該怎么辦？”。這幾個(gè)題目是去出現(xiàn)過的雅思作文真題（task 2）。口語題的難度也相差無幾，如“論教育對(duì)一個(gè)民族的重要性”。

之二

雅思考試與我們所熟悉的許多考試的區(qū)別之一是，雅思沒有語法和詞匯題。于是有人認(rèn)為不懂語法、不認(rèn)識(shí)幾個(gè)單詞也可以考雅思。考過之后才感嘆，難！于是趕緊四處打聽“有多大的詞匯量才能挑戰(zhàn)雅思”。

中國(guó)學(xué)生的習(xí)慣是，所有的考試都可以通過“準(zhǔn)備”來通過的。

北語雅思想說的是，proficiency tests 是不能“準(zhǔn)備”的，至少是不能以“期末復(fù)習(xí)、考試”那種形式來準(zhǔn)備，更不能靠達(dá)到“五千”或是“八千”詞匯來準(zhǔn)備的。北語雅思的所有教師都考過雅思，有的了兩次、三次，可是誰也不知道自己有多大的詞匯量。什么人關(guān)注“自己”的詞匯量呢？英語學(xué)習(xí)還不入門的學(xué)生，英語教學(xué)還是新手的教師。

還是那句話，考什么，你就應(yīng)該能夠做什么。比如，留學(xué)類的閱讀的三篇文章都出自原文報(bào)刊，如“New Scientist”，那么考生就應(yīng)該去看和這類雜志在難度、長(zhǎng)度、題材有可比性的文章，通過閱讀來學(xué)習(xí)詞匯，而不是去背詞匯表。讀懂這樣的文章靠什么？語法、詞匯、背景知識(shí)等等，但這些都是次要的，主要的、乃至最重要的是：靠日積月累達(dá)到的量。

讀有難度、長(zhǎng)度的文章比背詞匯表痛苦的多。背詞匯表可以讓人有“feel

good”、“我沒閑著”的感覺，因?yàn)榭梢酝ㄟ^“量化”來衡量自己的投入與產(chǎn)出。所以，背詞匯表的人多，腳踏實(shí)地、靠閱讀量來學(xué)習(xí)的人少。

聽聽womo于2003-3-17在51ielts.com上怎么說的：“環(huán)球說得6000-7000，不過我現(xiàn)在手里有三本雅思單詞書，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們不僅說雅思該有的單詞量不同，就連選錄的單詞也差很遠(yuǎn)，背完新東方再看環(huán)球的，一堆不會(huì)。背完環(huán)球再看楊凡的，一堆不會(huì)”。

把那些“詞匯手冊(cè)”之類的東西都扔了吧。去讀、去聽！！！

之三

淺談雅思詞匯

這個(gè)問題往往是各位準(zhǔn)備考雅思的朋友們非常關(guān)心的，說起來也很正常。詞匯量本身就是衡量英語水平和考試難度的一個(gè)尺度，尤其在雅思考試形式比較特殊，沒有考試大綱的情況下，對(duì)詞匯來年量的需求自然倍受關(guān)注。很多朋友張口就問，考雅思要不要背單詞？背什么單詞書？也有很多朋友給我發(fā)郵件來詢問這個(gè)問題。很久沒有寫關(guān)于英語學(xué)習(xí)的東西了，最近采訪了不少剛考完雅思的同學(xué)們，今天正好借這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)和大家討論一下。

首先要說明一點(diǎn)，本文里面的觀點(diǎn)都是針對(duì)起點(diǎn)為詞匯量在1，500-2，000的基礎(chǔ)不是太好的朋友們。換句話說，如果你的起點(diǎn)更低，連最基本的1，500詞匯都沒有的話，那么我個(gè)人認(rèn)為你是必須要背單詞的，沒有多少商量的余地。

那么，具備了1，500-2，000的詞匯量，到底要不要背單詞呢？應(yīng)該背什么單詞呢？下面我就結(jié)合雅思考試的特點(diǎn)，分項(xiàng)展開說明。

首先來看看對(duì)詞匯要求最簡(jiǎn)單的口語。有關(guān)學(xué)好口語需要多少詞匯量的問題幾乎已經(jīng)被討論爛了，比較公認(rèn)的結(jié)論應(yīng)該是500-800日常詞匯足矣。換句話說，如果你具備1，000以上的詞匯，但口語仍然不好，那請(qǐng)一定不要把原因歸結(jié)為詞匯量不夠，也請(qǐng)一定不要把解決辦法定位于背單詞。其實(shí)，除去因?yàn)槿狈毩?xí)造成的表達(dá)不夠流利之外，口語不好的主要問題在于對(duì)一些小詞掌握的不夠到位。比如get，take，make這樣的動(dòng)詞，搭配上不同的介詞，幾乎可以表達(dá)所有的日常動(dòng)作。因此，當(dāng)你覺得你有意思表達(dá)不出來時(shí)，先不慌查字典找單詞，而應(yīng)該問問自己，你是不是可以用已經(jīng)學(xué)過的很簡(jiǎn)單的單詞和詞組來表達(dá)這個(gè)意思？所以說，為了提高口語，是沒有必要專門背單詞的，相反，應(yīng)該把所知道的簡(jiǎn)單詞匯學(xué)好，學(xué)精。你知道see是看見，是否知道see off是告別？你知道large是大，又知道at large表示逃亡在外么？再次向口語不好的朋友們推薦《學(xué)好17個(gè)動(dòng)詞走遍天下》，以后千萬別動(dòng)不動(dòng)就拿起詞匯書來背了。

接下來我們看看寫作。雅思考試作文的批改方式比較特殊，是analytical scoring，而不是象TOEFL采取的global scoring。什么叫g(shù)lobal scoring呢？其實(shí)它比較象我們中學(xué)時(shí)的作文評(píng)分方式，就是一眼看上去大概是什么水平，屬于哪個(gè)檔次，就給多少分。那么analytical scoring又是怎么回事呢？我們翻譯過來叫做“分項(xiàng)評(píng)分”。雅思作文評(píng)分有三項(xiàng)：內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)，連貫銜接，語言質(zhì)量。每一項(xiàng)分別評(píng)分，要注意，在給每一項(xiàng)評(píng)分時(shí)是不受其他兩項(xiàng)影響的。也就是說，哪怕你的文章離題萬里，只要文字優(yōu)美，那么語言那一項(xiàng)也是有可能打8分的。三項(xiàng)加起來除以三，就是一篇作文的最終得分。那么這種分項(xiàng)評(píng)分到底有什么好處呢？顯然是有的，因?yàn)橛⒄Z作為外語，普遍中國(guó)學(xué)生寫作文時(shí)語言水平有限，因此如果把握好文章的內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)，在連貫方面處理得好，完全可以將最終分?jǐn)?shù)提上去。而把握文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，做好連貫銜接，顯然與詞匯量的大小絲毫扯不上關(guān)系吧？退一步講，如果要提高寫作的語言質(zhì)量，也幾乎不取決于詞匯量大小。關(guān)于這一點(diǎn)，我在《關(guān)于寫作的一點(diǎn)個(gè)人體會(huì)》中詳細(xì)闡述，這里不再廢話。

說起聽力，我又要提起我反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)的一個(gè)概念：聽力詞匯量。聽力詞匯量區(qū)別于閱讀詞匯量，簡(jiǎn)單地說，就是不看拼寫，僅從發(fā)音判斷就能確定認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞，才屬于你的聽力詞匯量。對(duì)于聽力水平普遍不高的中國(guó)考生，可能聽力詞匯量還不到閱讀詞匯量的一半。而雅思聽力考試顯然要求的是更多的聽力詞匯量，而不是

閱讀詞匯。從這一點(diǎn)出發(fā)，整天抱著詞匯書死背，往紙上反復(fù)抄寫，對(duì)提高聽力詞匯量有百害而無一益。其次，雅思聽力作為考察英語國(guó)家生存能力的測(cè)試，對(duì)日常用語考得非常頻繁。雅思聽力的特色題目就是填空，簡(jiǎn)答這樣需要?jiǎng)邮痔顚憜卧~的題目。而需要填寫的單詞往往是日常用詞。比如有一次考過jackfruit（菠蘿蜜），還考過pomelo（釉子），這樣的詞生活中很常用，可是好象哪本單詞書中都不會(huì)收錄吧？那么，整日抱著單詞書背，意義究竟何在？

最后我們來討論存在爭(zhēng)議最大的閱讀問題。

雅思考試的閱讀文章往往是從報(bào)刊雜志上摘下來的，這樣就造成大量的專有名詞，以及一些不常用的詞匯。這樣造成了考生在考試時(shí)遇到大量不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞，因此帶來的結(jié)果就是，很多人馬上將自己無法答對(duì)題的原因歸結(jié)為不認(rèn)識(shí)單詞，將解決辦法歸納為背單詞。于是背了劉毅的5000和10000，三個(gè)月后滿懷信心走入考場(chǎng)，發(fā)現(xiàn)不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞比上次還多！很多培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)也很不負(fù)責(zé)地拿有些考生的成績(jī)來做虛假宣傳，說某某詞匯量多少，于是閱讀多少分耳耳，好象他的成績(jī)就歸功于他詞匯量一樣。那么，問題究竟出在什么地方？

要了解這一點(diǎn)，首先有必要了解一下雅思閱讀的出題原則和思路。雅思閱讀是考察從文章中獲得有效信息的能力，因此充滿生詞是必然的，問題在于你能否從中讀出對(duì)你有用的信息。我可以完全負(fù)責(zé)任的說，雅思閱讀從來不出從上下文推斷詞義的題目，換句話說，雅思閱讀中根本就沒有考察詞匯量的題！！

象summary，short anwser question這樣的題目，只需要你從原文中尋找特定的信息，哪怕它是個(gè)專有名詞，你不認(rèn)識(shí)，沒關(guān)系，找出來填進(jìn)去就是了。對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來說，最難的題當(dāng)屬T/F/NG，這種題怎么考呢？比如，文中講Tom is taller than Mary。題目中說Tom is as tall as Mary。那么顯然，這道題為FALSE。有人說這太簡(jiǎn)單了，雅思不會(huì)考這么簡(jiǎn)單的，其實(shí)這說明你沒有意識(shí)到T/F/NG題的精髓所在罷了。對(duì)于雅思考試來說，無非就是把TOM，MARY這樣的詞換成誰都不認(rèn)識(shí)的專有名詞來嚇唬人而已，因?yàn)門/F/NG題根本就不考你的詞匯量，它考的是你對(duì)句意的把握。而能否正確把握句意，取決于你的語法和句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析能力，與詞匯量無關(guān)。下面舉個(gè)真實(shí)考試的例子大家就明白了。

文中說&& is a poor predictor,%% is little better than &&.題目說%% is a good predictor.（&&和%%表示兩個(gè)難詞）。好，這個(gè)題答案是什么呢？是FALSE。為什么呢？很顯而易見，這里的專有名詞我都沒寫出來，認(rèn)不認(rèn)識(shí)肯定對(duì)答題不影響，這里題目考察的是對(duì)little better than這個(gè)語法結(jié)構(gòu)的理解，你必須知道這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，才能正確把握句子的意思。那么什么人需要背單詞呢？那就是連

poor，little這樣的詞都不認(rèn)識(shí)的人才需要背，也就是我開頭說的那些基礎(chǔ)實(shí)在太差，詞匯量可能只有三位數(shù)的人。而對(duì)于很多詞匯量并不小的人，由于不認(rèn)識(shí)little better than這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，照樣無法做對(duì)題目。

舉個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的例子，無非是想告訴大家，要看清閱讀考試的實(shí)質(zhì)，千萬不要輕易將做錯(cuò)題的原因歸結(jié)為詞匯不夠。其實(shí)造成閱讀能力有限的原因是多方面的，主要是閱讀速度和對(duì)句子結(jié)構(gòu)的分析能力。前者必須通過廣泛的閱讀來鍛煉和提高，而后者，說到底是一個(gè)英語基本功是否扎實(shí)的問題，冰凍三尺非一日之寒，解決語法問題是慢工夫，并不是背背單詞就可以提高英語水平的。

說到這里，很多朋友可能會(huì)這樣問，你寫這個(gè)是不是就是要大家把手里的單詞書全都扔掉？非也。對(duì)于很多已經(jīng)工作的朋友，或者長(zhǎng)時(shí)間不接觸英語的朋友，找一本合適自己的詞匯書看看，是盡快恢復(fù)的最好辦法之一。背單詞的關(guān)鍵在精不在多，對(duì)于一個(gè)單詞，并不是看到它知道中文意思就足夠的，如果讓你造個(gè)句子你會(huì)不會(huì)用？如果在收音機(jī)里聽到它你能不能分辨出來？這都是衡量對(duì)詞匯的掌握程度。因此，反復(fù)復(fù)習(xí)，反復(fù)再實(shí)踐中運(yùn)用剛學(xué)到的單詞，才是背單詞的正道。

本人是機(jī)械背單詞的強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)者，因此從不推薦詞匯參考書。如果非要說起來的話，找一本用法詳細(xì)，注解豐富（最好有英文注解）的四級(jí)詞匯書，足矣 ：）

PS：這里我想談?wù)労芏嗨^《雅思詞匯》這樣的書。鄭重其事告訴大家，這種書絕大多數(shù)都是不科學(xué)的。首先，雅思考試沒有明確大綱，只要在英語中出現(xiàn)的詞匯，都有出現(xiàn)在卷子上的可能，并沒有規(guī)定哪些詞匯才是所謂“雅思詞匯”。很多編者宣稱他的書是經(jīng)過多少多少次對(duì)真題的統(tǒng)計(jì)得出的結(jié)論而搞出來的詞頻，大家千萬不要輕易上當(dāng)。首先，雅思真題保密工作很好，真題不可能在考場(chǎng)外泄露，而考生離開考場(chǎng)是不準(zhǔn)帶出一張紙。那么這些所謂的“統(tǒng)計(jì)者”，從哪里搞來那么多的真題作為統(tǒng)計(jì)材料？用腦子把卷子一字不差背下來？呵呵。其次，由于雅思考試的特殊性，每次考題與上次幾乎沒有關(guān)系，也就是說，一次考題中出現(xiàn)什么單詞，與它上次出現(xiàn)與否，下次還會(huì)不會(huì)出現(xiàn)，是完全沒有規(guī)律可循的。做這種統(tǒng)計(jì)本身就是無意義的。希望廣大鴨友們?cè)谶x取參考書的時(shí)候一定要睜大眼睛，千萬不要被*商蒙蔽。

第四篇：雅思寫作

Topic: only when people make a large sum of money can they be said successful.Do you agree or disagree?

It is vital to define success although currently criteria are colorful.A sound definition of the term helps people to live and learn better.Moreover, it plays an important role in the construction of good social mores.It is wrong to say that people are not successful if they have failed to make a huge sum of money.The reason is that whether one is successful is not only measured with material yardstick but also against the spiritual criterion.Spiritual achievements and contributions bear little relationship with money.Put it in other word, many of those who have not earned sufficient money are considered successful for their accomplishments.For instance, my mother has never been able to make enough money but she is successful in that she has told us why we live.To emphasize the spiritual elements in the understanding of what success is is not to deny the importance of the ability to make money.On the contrary, the capability to make a massive sum of money in many cases is a kind of success.In terms of the individual development, any human being in a modern society where money is the main economic dimension must be able to live independently by means of earning and spending.In terms of the society development, a country must be rich enough to protect basic human rights, provide foods, and offer education to its members.Otherwise it is not successful.In conclusion, money is not the only standard of success, but it is necessary to be able to make money.

第五篇：雅思寫作

Topic: Should grad student be paid higher than non-grads?

In China, it is obvious now that the university graduates earn more money than non-graduates(a funny contrast in which it was opposite scenario when in 1970s China).I quite agree with those graduates who have paid a lot for their studies and expect to make more for either himself or his family.However, it is not so optimistically for those who hope to make it.The critical career competition makes them frustrated due to many factors involved.One of the utmost factors is they feel what they anticipate is not matching up with what they have found in reality.Many university graduates are not satisfied with what they get for what they have done.As a matter of fact, some of them expect so unrealistic that they immediately lose the credit to the workforce they belong to.On the contrary, some of the non-graduate students who are more realistic in career hunting tend to get more satisfied job compared with graduates.Thus what really matters here in salary balance is how one can contribute to the organization rather than what background they hold.The tuition is really high in China.Many high quality students due to this have lost their academic pursuit.This is really shameful for a family or any government who initially should take the burden for whatever reason is supposed to be.Any responsible government should inevitably take this burden and put more money in order to bring up better next generation for the nation.
