第一篇:雅思写作素材Environmental&resource&animal
1.Some people think animal experimentation should be stopped because it is cruel.Others think it is necessary for the development of science.Discuss both view and give your own opinion.范文 一
Animals were friend of foes of humanity at different times of the human history.In modern times, experiments upon animals have long been a breeding ground for spirited debate.Some animal right activists argue that we should ban animal experiments altogether because putting animals through experimentation is unjustifiable on moral grounds.Yet some other people contend that the advancement of science necessitates animal testing.Personally, I believe both their views have merit and demerit.Granted, empirical evidence suggests that many animal experiments are performed callously without any attention to the discomfort or pain that laboratory mammals endure.First and foremost, improper confinement of test animals such as locking them up in cramped cages is inhumane.It can gravely disrupt natural biological functions of the test animal.Further, the effects of vaccination and vivisection conducted on live mammals can be chilling.They may, in some case, even constitute sheer torture of live animals.However, from a more pragmatic perspective, evidence bounds that animal subjects are still an indispensable part at this point.In the first place, it is manifest that drug experimentation on live mammals is far more effective than experimentation on bacteria or on other lower species in testing drug safety.Drugs that have severe potential side effects on Homo sapiens must be tested by pharmaceutical companies on live mammals first to ascertain their toxicity.In the second place, in space research, live animals are still the only practical alternative to humans in testing living creature reaction to outer-space experience on a flight not considered to be sufficiently safe for human astronauts.Lastly, lab research about the behavioral tendencies of chimpanzees, gorillas and other members of the primate group is also necessary.It produces outcomes consistently advancing anthropological and genetic studies.To conclude, I concede that experiments upon animals may induce suffering to the test animals.However, I am convinced that there are no feasible alternatives to this methodology at the current stage of scientific development.On balance, I think that we should allow animals testing to be continued but at the same time we use techniques such as anesthetic to minimize the pain of the test animal.相关话题解决

第二篇:雅思写作素材Globalization&travel
1.International travel is becoming cheaper,and countries are opening their doors to more and more tourists.Do the advantages of increased tourism outweigh its disadvantages?
Air travel combined with early retirement and people with money to spend has meant that more and more people can travel the world.Some countries,especially those with famous historical sights and beautiful natural scenery try to attract this large market.While there are some problems that can be caused with all this travel,generally it is a positive thing.Firstly,consider that all these tourists mean money that governments are eager to tap into.For many countries,tourism is a big part of GDP and without it their economies would suffer.Foreign tourists bring important dollars to the service industry and lots of small shops and vendors.Secondly,by encouraging tourism governments are promoting their cities and countries.In my country,China,for example,increased tourism and hosting the Olympics has changed people’s perception of our country.At the same time,tourism allows local people to gain exposure to people from other countries,which is also a good thing.Of course it’s not always a perfect picture.Not all tourists have a good attitude and manners.And in some cases they may even have a negative influence on the local population.But these situations are not so common,and embassies can create tough guidelines for getting a visa.This seems like a reasonable compromise.To conclude,international travel is a great thing,but it is a privilege that should not be abused.Governments should encourage it,but also put in place measures
to keep dangerous people away.This will result in a win-win situation for everyone.2.Tourism is a multibillion dollars industry that supports economic development.Some people think that it causes damage to the local environment and culture.What is your opinion?
Tourism is acknowledged by many people as a multibillion dollar industry.Some people still think that it causes damage to the local environment and culture.I have some
reservations about such a negative view.Many successful experiences demonstrate that the development of tourism can realize the “win-win” of economic development in an area.It can improve the well-being of local inhabitants and provide jobs for many people.Take Hangzhou for example.It earned 237 million dollars through its tourism industry last year.Another case is Suzhou, one of the four key tourist cities of China.In 2006 the city received 20.1 million domestic and foreign visitors.The income from tourism is currently close to RMB 20 million.Another positive example is the large recreational and cultural value of ecosystem services which are now sufficient to attract the local government’sattention and encourages them to plan further development and thereby accelerate a city’s construction.For instance, in the coming three years, RMB 120 million will be injected into Jiuzhaigou,a World Natural Heritage site, to return the area to its original scenic beauty.As well Zhejiang Province has planned to invest 990 million US dollars in the next five years to develop 10 tourist projects on and around the ocean.Furthermore, tourism supports the cross-cultural contact with foreignerspromoting friendship, goodwill and cultural diversity that might otherwise be lacking.In conclusion, our tourist dollars can do much, often unrecognized, good – not only by helping financially, but by placing public value on local culture and heritage.3.Many developing countries are currently expanding their tourist industries.Why is the case? Is it a positive development?
Currently, there is a hot discussion about the reasons why there are developing countries in growing number expanding tourist industries and whether it is a positive development or not.As far as I am concerned, I am convinced that it is a positive development.In this essay, I will make an analysis of the reasons in the following paragraphs.The first and foremost reason is that, tourism, which becomes the principal source of financial revenue in many developing countries, is financially beneficial to the
economic development.For instance, China needs an increasing amount of foreign currencies for its modernization drive.Tourism is one of the most crucial channels to obtain such currencies.Furthermore, tourism facilitates the development of the catering business and transportation service as well.Additionally, tourist industries make primary contribution to the national income and tax revenue.In the second place, tourism provides local habitants in tourist attractions with more opportunities of employment, which has eliminated some social problems to some extent.In the scenic spots, it is common that even the uneducated people can make a living simply by selling souvenirs, local specialties and so on, which relieves the pressure of local government.Last but not least, it is true that tourism contributes a great deal to the friendship and mutual understanding between people from different countries, which will unquestionably enhance the future cooperation in international affairs.Tourism provides people with a good opportunity to have a better understanding of the culture, history and customs in foreign countries.All in all, it is of great benefit for developing countries to promote the tourist industry, for it will play a positive role in both the economic and political development of a country.Globalization 类常用词汇

第三篇:雅思写作素材搜集:教育类
雅思培训 http://ielts.longre.com托福培训http://toefl.longre.com雅思写作素材搜集:教育类一篇文章的内容是作者思想与逻辑的体现,所以素材之于写作的重要性而言就像是灵魂。在备考IELTS写作的过程中,除了最基础的语法和词汇问题外,面对作文题海论点阐述时,很多学生会不知所措,心中没有底,在面对自己不熟悉的TOPIC时更是如此。其实雅思写作的TOPIC虽然很多,但其中很多话题都有相似性(Similarity),对于同一个话题里的题目,更是有异曲同工之妙。对于同一类话题的写作题目,考试的出题都具有相似性,新题都是从老题衍生出来的。所以,朗阁海外考试研究中心建议考生们在准备作文时,要对同一个话题的常规考题进行整理,这样即使考试中遇到陌生的话题,我们也能把它们往熟悉的话题里套。本文中,我们将以教育类话题为例进行总结。
1.教育应该包括哪些内容?
母题:It is generally believed that education is of vital importance to the
development of individuals and the well-being of societies.What should education consist of to fulfill both these functions?(050312)
提示:本题围绕教育的两大功能来展开(个人与社会),准备好这篇文章,即可应付教育类话题中的最大分支—教育的功能,做到以不变应万变。对于社会角度,可以从促进经济发展、增加社会流动性(social mobility)、维护社会稳定这几个方面来展开;对于个人,可以从改变思维模式、有利于就业和便利生活来写。
子题:大学应当教授理论知识还是实践技能?大学应当把学生培养成合格的公民还是让他们自己得益?准备未来职业最好的方法是上大学还是尽快离校积累工作经验?大学要不要扩招?中学阶段应当提供通才教育还是专才教育?要不要延长义务教育年限?要不要让农村地区的学生更容易上学?老师要教学生如何判断是非吗?
2.学校的科目谁来选择?
母题:Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer.Discuss the two views and give your opinion.(060916)
提示:这类题目采取的策略就是“双批判”,因为题目中提供的两种选择往往都是错误的。
子题1: 政府选课or老师选课?学生选择所有的科目or根据兴趣自行选择?
子题2: 只有学术科目重要,体育和音乐这样的课不重要,你同意吗?要不要学国际新闻?要不要学历史?要不要中学阶段就学习外语?要不要学数学哲学这类科目?
提示:子题2与母题联系不大,需要准备这些科目各自的优点。
3.什么样的教学方式最好?
母题:Many people use distance-learning programmes(study material post, TV, Internet, etc.)to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the benefit as much as attending college or university.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?(041113, 081023, 100515)
提示:远程教育最大的好处就在于三个any: anybody, anywhere, any time.缺点是缺乏师生之间以及学生之间的interaction, 缺乏教师的moral guidance, 因为没有体育课且久坐电脑前,会引发健康问题。
子题:私立学校好不好?留学好不好?要不要分快慢班?小组学习还是单独学习好?
4.谁来为学费买单?
母题:Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole.To what extent do you agree or disagree?(100731)
提示:这些话题都有一个共同的特征:高等教育只对学生自己有好处,因此学生应当自行为高等教育买单。这类题目的写法非常有规律,先驳斥这种理由,再交代学生自己支付学费的后果就可以了。
子题:政府要为学生买单吗?(缺点是给政府带来经济负担,这类话题的写法和其它政府类话题一样)
5.孩子们要不要参加社会实践?
母题:Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university.What are the advantages and disadvantages?(030308, 050514, 090926)
提示:gap year的好处就是能够锻炼各种能力,缺点就是容易受到社会恶习的影响,误入歧途。
子题:要不要参加无偿社会劳动?要不要毕业去农村锻炼?要不要从小远离父母居住?
6.家庭教育
母题:Some people say that children should obey the rules of their parents and teachers, while other people think children will not be well-prepared for their adult life if they are given too much control.Discuss in both sides and you’re your opinion.(041120, 100520)
提示:写一下各自的好处就可以了,最后的结论是早年的时候要教授他们明辨是非,对于做错的事情要惩罚,但是也要适可而止,让其兴趣爱好得到自由发展。
子题:穷人家的孩子是否早当家?家长是否应该为五岁小孩的犯错负责?要不要趁早把小孩送到学校去?老师对儿童的智力和社会发展所起的作用大于家长吗?同龄人压力(peer pressure)的利弊?
雅思考试都有一个循环的写作题库,分类整理好每个话题的素材是写出一篇高效有质量的作文的前提。只有平时善于积累善于总结,抓住写作的灵魂,才能让复习事半功倍,才能在考试中得心应手。
第四篇:雅思写作的牛人整理的写作素材!
雅思大作文的写作最重要,但是小作文也很重要,不能一直放的小作文不看,因为小作文如果写的不流畅,老是思考,不能在20分钟内写完,就会严重影响大作文的质量。
写雅思作文一定要知道换说法,一个意思同样的说法最好不要出现第二遍,这当然需要积累不同的句型和短语,比如文章后面给的写好处的句子要记得换着用!大作文要得高分,倒装句、插入语、强调句、复合句和同位语至少各用一次!下面心得分享给各位~
1、关于模板:雅思作文模板还是很有用的,但不是已有书上的模板,大家都知道的那些模板和句型最好少用。因为雅思作文一共五大类,我一般练得都是两边倒的作文,自己有准备一个模板,除了问原因解决类的作文外都可以用同一个模板,所以要练得比较熟,一般写作文都要用自己的模板,最好是总结两个模板就万无一失!
2、基本上一天看一篇《经济学人》的文章,总结不会的单词、短语和句型,因为上面的文章都是老外写的,所以文章非常地道,好句子很多
3、关于写作文:我一共写了十篇左右的大作文,小作文要每种至少练一篇吧,快考试前一个星期我用专门的雅思考试写作纸卡时间,大小作文一起一起写,写了4套!
大作文不在于要练的很多,但是要刻意的改进。写完一篇文章后要自己改一遍,把看的出来的语法和单词错误改了,还要看论据合不合理,再把看过的好的句型刻意套进去 第一篇作文我写了一个半小时才写完,当时真是把所有能用的上的好句子和词组都尽量往里套,第一篇要是半小时之内写完就是混的没好好写。
尽快把能用的上的写作资料背熟,这样写作时间自然会减少,小作文必须20分钟搞定,如果你的模板和句子用的熟,大作文也会很流畅,我的雅思考试作文写了满满的2页考试纸后,又要了一张写了一半,还把小作文检查了一遍
4、除此之外,总结了四种句型,开头句型,写好处的句型,写坏处的句型和解决问题类句型。因为所有的雅思议论文题目基本上都是要讨论一个问题的好的方面和坏的方面,所以这样的句式要准备几个(不用太多),而且确定自己背的很熟,最好是每篇文章都换的多用,达到用的灵活自如,在这里与大家做一下分享,往下看~

以上就是雅思作文的整理归纳。希望能给对大家帮助。
第五篇:雅思写作
翻开剑桥系列教材后面考官所给的范文评析,大家会发现考官的评分标准一般都从如下四个方面展开:内容(content)、组织结构(organization)、词汇(vocabulary)和句式(sentence structure)。同时,据笔者的长期观察,高分雅思作文无一例外地在这四方面有好的演绎才能获得考官亲睐。“好的作文大都是相似的,而不幸的作文却各有各的不幸。”下面,笔者将从以上四方面一一阐述烤鸭们写作时存在的盲点所在并提出相应的建议。
一、内容(content):切中主题,自圆其说
盲点1:无话可说
这类考生在看到题目时,最初的感觉是脑袋中一片空白。雅思作文题材广泛,包括科技、教育、健康、环保、犯罪、文化传统、时尚、体育运动、动物保护等。而且由于文化差异以及学习工作的缘故,日常生活中考生极少接触到这类话题,更不用说对它有什么想法了。
盲点1击破:四多原则
多看范文;多关注时事,观察生活;多与人交流;多记录自己的想法。比较极端的做法是花三天三夜沉浸在范文书当中,分领域熟悉雅思考题及其观点。当感觉自己脑袋中涌现出无数ideas时,关上书,写出自己能够想出来的各个领域的观点,如果某个领 域发生短路,翻开书重新阅读,直至能够写出来为止。
盲点2:千言万语
这类考生往往见多识广,看到话题时感到倚马千言。可是由于词汇量和逻辑方面有所欠缺。往往面临“满腹的心里话不知怎么说”的尴尬。
盲点2击破:词以类记原则
此类考生要分领域积累雅思写作词汇,如在写肥胖问题时,考生需要积累(obese, overweight, coronary heart disease, stroke, heredity, inheritance, junk food, carnivorous, excessive drinking and smoking, couch potato, diabetes, a balanced diet, vegetarian等。)
盲点3:标新立异
这类考生认为论点或论据越新颖越好,力求与众不同。
盲点3击破:自圆其说原则
雅思考试毕竟是语言能力测试,词汇、语法和句式才是测试重点。况且,考官阅卷数载,见多识广,你的观点很有可能已经无法构成他的兴奋点,所以我们讲究论点论据
言之有理,能够自圆其说即可。
盲点4:真情流露
这类考生和“千言万语”型考生神似,唯一的不同便是他们英文表达畅通无阻,写作时有“黄河之水,延绵不绝”之势。但兴奋之时,有些忘乎所以,与主题渐行渐远。
盲点4击破:切中主题原则
这类考生必须建立自己的一套逻辑框架,并严格执行。如在写argumentation类题型时,全文四段:“第一段为背景介绍和提出论点段;第二段为己方观点论证段;第三段为让步段;第四段总结段。切忌任何与主题无关或相悖的鸡肋出现。
二、组织结构(organization):起承转合,行云流水
盲点1:天马行空
这类考生和“千言万语”型考生神似,写作时缺乏自己的一套写作框架。有时,尽管有全文框架,段落框架又缺失,通常表现为主体段内部的分论点或分论据存在逻辑上的重复或冲突。
盲点1击破:起承转合原则
除了段落之间应存在“第一段(起)为背景介绍和提出论点段;第二段(承)为己方观点论证段;第三段(转)为让步段;第四段(合)总结段。”的逻辑框架之外,段落内部每一句也需要有这样的逻辑框架来约束,如让步段中:“some people may argue that „(起);because they maintain that „。(承);However ,they are oversimplifying the situation, in fact „.。(转);Therefore , I believe „。(合)
盲点2:单句游离
这类烤鸭写出来的句子与句子之间没有连接词,有时就算有,逻辑连词也使用错误。或者是标点不注意。最常见使用错误诸如on the other hand。它连接的是转折,却无数次被误解成递进。
盲点2击破:行云流水原则
考生应准确记忆并正确使用各种逻辑关系词,力求做到行云流水,常见的逻辑连词有:
因果关系:
因:As since due to owning to
果:hence thus therefore as a consequence as a result
表目的:thereby
举例关系:Take for example, For instance, To illustrate, As an apt illustration ,对比关系:While ,whilst, whereas, by contrast。
让步关系:despite ,in spite of , not with standing , nonetheless, even though,Provided that , if
三、词汇(vocabulary):同义改写,百花齐放
盲点1 : 遭遇生词
大部分考生苦恼的地方莫过于此,写作过程中无数次由于生词的关系而短路。
盲点1击破:同义改写原则
其实考生对不认识的词完全可以paraphrase,如望子成龙,望女成凤完全可以写成:All parents expect their children to have a promising further。
注意:对于各个领域内的专有名词我们鼓励大家履行词以类记原则,毕竟只有语言水平较高的烤鸭才可能做到用简单的词汇解释难词。如有同学在解释寄生虫(parasite)在他笔下成了” something that is very tiny and lives on my skin and sucks my blood without doing any work”!这样的paraphrase 只能让考官啼笑皆非。
盲点2:同义重现
如在discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the internet时,有考生作文中曾出现了不下10次的advantages and disadvantages。这会让考官出现极严重的审美疲劳,分数自然不高。
盲点2击破: 百花齐放原则
其实考生在平时的习作中应注意近义词、反义词、衍生词的积累,并不断练习。如上面的advantages的同义词为benefits gains merits pros等;disadvantages的同义词有downsides ,weakness, drawbacks cons等。
盲点3:大词连篇
很多考生认为大词生僻词汇用得越多,得分就越高。
盲点3击破:整体协调原则
看到剑桥系列教材大家会发现,考官给出的范文大词生词寥寥可数,真正有说服力的是你用的词能够准确无误的表达你的思想。试想一个语法错误连篇的考生盲目地使用各种生僻词汇来堆砌文章,这无疑给考官造成一种“暴发户”般的强烈视觉冲击,最后只能适得其反。所以,用词上我们讲究与内容以及句式结构整体协调的原则。
三、句式(sentence structure):长短结合,错落有致
盲点1:长篇累牍
和用词上的大词连篇一样,部分考生以能使用各种复杂的长难句为荣。
盲点1击破:长短结合原则
事实上,如果大家有看剑桥后面的范文的话,会发现长难句并不象绝大多数同学想象得那般高深。通常的情况是长短句结合使用,而且论点通常用短句,而论据则长句居多。
盲点2:短小精悍
和长篇累牍型考生相反的是短小精悍型考生,为了保险起见,这类考生作文中充满了简单的is/am/are的主系表和主谓宾句型。
盲点2击破:灵活多变原则
这类考生如果能稍稍变得aggressive一些,他们将是考场上最大的“黑马”。如以Parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability这个简单句为例,通过强调句型的包装我们得到:
It is children’s score that parents and teachers often link to their academic ability rather than other qualifications。
通过倒装句的包装我们可以得到:
So important is children’s score that parents and teachers often link them to children’s academic ability。
通过插入语的包装我们可以得到:
Scores , as is known to everyone ,are often linked to children’s academic ability by teachers and parents。
通过分词短语的包装我们可以得到:
Based on the conception that scores tells everything, parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability。
„„„
通过如此灵活的加工和包装,你会发现,简单句经过稍稍润色原来也可以如此光彩照人,这要比无数大词生僻词堆砌形成的长难句更加赢得考官的青睐。
总之,掌握了如上原则,再加上持之以恒的练习,考生一定能在Task 2中获得自己满意的分数。(编
