第二篇:雅思写作真题
雅思写作真题范文赏析:满分篇
满分的雅思大作文到底有何神奇之处,因为作文要想得满分那是几率非常小的事,下面为大家分享的这篇雅思真题写作范文,既然是满分,那么一定有大家可借鉴之处了
原题再现:
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:
Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.考官范文:
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
extravagantlifestyles 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 responsibilityof 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.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 thesefactors 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 indicatesthat our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.参考翻译:
在媒体不断地推波助澜下,我国的许多职业运动员已成为了明星和名人。那些顶尖的运动员收入颇丰。像一些电影明星一样,他(她)们也是香车豪宅,生活极为奢华。
许多人觉得与那些挣高薪的顶级外科医生,从事研究的科学家或有管理国家责任的高官相比,他(她)们的回报极为不公。然而,运动员的薪水并不是由一个人对社会所做出的贡献或者其责任水平所决定。相反,它们反映的是从整体上来说体育运动在大众中的普及性以及那些成功的体育明星对促进公众对运动的支持所做出的贡献。所以,“公平”的概念并不是问题关键之所在。
那些认为体育明星拿高薪无可厚非的人争辩说那些有天赋的体育运动员实属凤毛麟角,高薪是对他(她)们娴熟技能和通往成功之路所付出努力的承认。竞争持续不断,运动员在他(她)们相对较短的运动生涯中迎接每次检验。来自于媒体的压力令人窒息,而且他(她)们必须生活在镁光灯下,没有隐私。这一切都证明了他(她)们高薪得之无愧。在我个人看来,比起电影明星的高薪,体育明星的高薪更受之无愧。但与此同时,该现象也显得出我们的社会更关注体育而非其它一些更重要的领域和成就。

雅思写作真题解析
雅思大作文在分析题目时,不能只看到其表面意思,与此同时解到题目所涉及的是哪一类话题也是特别重要的一环,题目中是否有一些关键词需要格外注意以及对于这道题目所能想到的一些观点论证都要引起注意。本篇雅思培训,文都国际教育老师将和大家一起探讨两道典型的教育类话题。
As part of education, students should spend a period of time studying and living in a different country to learn its language and culture.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
审题:
题目翻译:作为教育的一部分,学生应该要花一段时间去海外学习和生活来学习当地的语言和文化。你在多大程度上同意或者不同意?
能力考查:这个教育类话题是同意不同意的考试指令,考查考生对于考官所呈现的社会现象或所表达的观点是否能够清晰地给出自己的想法并加以有效论证。一般来讲,碰到这种指令,理论上是可以写完全支持或者反对的,但是还是建议大家尽量尝试用折中的写法,即部分同意部分反对。这种一分为二的思考方式可以在考场上帮助你快速想出观点并进行有效作答,另外这种答题模式也不太会发生偏题的情况。
框架构造:Partly agree
1.开头段(用于引出题目背景,并且表明自己的态度)
2.论证出国学习和生活对于学习语言和文化的重要性
3.但是,反面论证这种做法对于部分学生是不现实的 4.结尾(再次重申自己的观点,并且可以给出自己的建议)
Sample answer:
Going abroad for further study has become more of a trend as large numbers of students participate in international language tests, such as IELTS or TOEFL.Some academics advocate that an experience of learning in foreign countries is a necessary part of education for language betterment and language acquisition.As for me, however, such practice should be considered with discretion.Admittedly, studying and living in another country can be an effective way to achieve the mentioned purposes.Compared with second-hand experience, living in the native environment can provide students with many opportunities to use the language to communicate with local people.Such language ability can make them be more competitive in the future job market.Meanwhile, living experiences can help students to have a deep insight into local life, including history, culture as well as religious belief.However, it would be unrealistic if all students are encouraged to participate in it.First of all, considering students themselves, those who lack learning and adaptive ability may find it hard to integrate into local life and 文都国际教育官方网站:http://www.xiexiebang.com/

sometimes they will feel disappointed or even depressed because of culture shocks and language barriers.Tuition fees and life expenses can beanother problem.Different from rich students, those who come from working-class families or needy families cannot afford such a big cost to study overseas.For example, studying in UK for one year may cost one student nearly 300 thousand, which is far from affordability.To sum up, an experience of studying and living overseas can help students to speak good language and understand the local culture well.However, it is not a practical way for most ordinary families unless they make full preparations.思路分析:
Introduction:
Going abroad for further study has become more of a trend as large numbers of students participate in international language tests, such as IELTS or TOEFL.(用最熟悉的事件引出背景)Some academics advocate that an experience of learning in foreign countries is a necessary part of education for language betterment and language acquisition.(对于题目的改写)As for me, however, such practice should be considered with discretion.(在段落的最后,用一句话表明出自己的观点)
Body 1:
主题句:Admittedly, studying and living in another country can be an effective way to achieve the mentioned purposes.(其中mentioned purposes指的是题目中的掌握语言和文化,为了避免重复,改用其他方式来表达)
支撑论点部分:Compared with second-hand experience,(用了对比论证手法,强调国外生活与学习的好处)living in the native environment can provide students with many opportunities to use the language to communicate with local people.Such language ability can make them be more competitive in the future job market.(凸显对于语言的好处,使用了因果论证来说明语言的重要性)Meanwhile,(论点之间的连接词)living experiences can help students to have a deep insight into local life, including history, culture as well as religious belief.(论证了对于文化的帮助,使用including来举出文化的一些典型表现)。
Body 2:
主题句:However, it would be unrealistic if all students are encouraged to participate in it.(用however转折连接词引出与上段不同的看法,指出了一部分特殊的学生不利于海外学习,这样就体现出了逻辑上的缜密)
支撑论点部分:
① First of all, considering students themselves, those who lack learning and adaptive ability may find it hard to integrate into local life and sometimes they will feel disappointed or even depressed because of culture shocks and language barriers.(个论点,指出语言能力差的学生不适合出国学习,使用的是因果论证)
② Tuition fees and life expenses can be another problem.Different from rich students, those who come from working-class families or needy families cannot afford such a big cost to study overseas.For example, 文都国际教育官方网站:http://www.xiexiebang.com/
文都国际教育官方网站:http://www.xiexiebang.com/
studying in UK for one year may cost one student nearly 300 thousand, which is far from affordability.(第二个分论点,指出家庭经济条件不好的学生也不适合出国学习,用for example引出了典型的举例论证)
Conclusion:
To sum up,(段落结尾常见连接词)an experience of studying and living overseas can help students to speak good language and understand the local culture well.However, it is not a practical way for most ordinary families unless they make full preparations.(个人观点的重述加上适当的建议)
Some people think children should obey the rules their parents and teachers set and listen to them, but others think less control will help children to deal with their own future life.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.审题:
题目翻译:有些人认为小孩子需要遵守和听从父母和老师指定的规则。然而另外一些人则认为对小孩少一点的限制会有利于他们更好的处理和解决未来生活中的问题。讨论两个观点并且给出你个人的看法。
能力考查:这个教育类话题是双边讨论的考试指令,考查学生是否能对于考官所呈现的两个观点进行有效的论证及对比。这个题目中一般都会有标志性词眼,例如some people believe…, while others think…。就这类题目的答题要点来说,我们会建议四段式结构,包括开头引入,两个观点的分别论证及结尾段给出你自己的看法。
题目关键词:rules, parents, teachers
框架构造:
1.开头段(用于引出两个观点所争论的内容)
2.论证个论点的合理性,即小孩子需要遵守和听从父母和老师指定的规则
3.论证第二个观点的合理性,即对小孩少一点的限制会有利于他们更好的处理和解决未来生活中的问题
4.结尾段(给出个人观点)

第四篇:历年四级写作真题
专四辅导之便条写作
(一)便条的写作
便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求考生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景,确定便条所涉及的内容,如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。
便条的特点在于内容简短,大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比,便条的语言更为口语化,比如要通知某事只需这样开头:Just a line to tell you that...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that...开头。有急事需要告诉别人而又不能面谈时,就可以写便条,如请假条、留言条等。一般不写地址,与普通书信基本相同。结尾时也无需要结尾礼词,只需要写上便条者姓名。
便条的日期通常写在右上角,一般只要写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间;日常应用中,写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份,因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。
便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。
基本写作格式
便条内容和类型不尽相同,可以灵活变通。但必须包括以下四个基本要素; 1)Date:便条日期2)Salutation:称呼3)Body:正文 4)Signature:署名
注意事项
1.词句简洁,尽量避免应酬语和敬词 2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。分类举例
1)请假(Asking for Leave)
例1 Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 100 words.Please describe the information clearly.1)the reason you ask for the leave 2)the time and how long you will leave
Aug.22nd Secretary Li, I’m sorry to apply for ten days’ leave from the Aug.23rd to sept.3rd instant.As I have to leave with the time is urgent.My father now in the hospital is badly ill.I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days.You know I’m the only child in my family.Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application.As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus.Wish for your allowance.Yours respectfully,××× 本文是一封请假条,一般我们要向上级或老师请假,通常用的是ask for leave这个短语,请三天假可写作:ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave.leave在这里是名词用法,文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”,含有更加郑重的意味,常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中,“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的,“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”.As concern as后面跟名词性结构,意为“涉及到,至于”与Concerning同义,两者可以互换。
例2 Directions: Your father is seriously ill, and you want to go back home.Write a note to the secretary and it should include 1)the cause for leaving;2)the days: from 16th to 21st;3)Catch on the lesson after returning school.July 5th Dear Miss Huang, My sister called me last night, and she said that my father is dangerously ill.I beg to apply for seven days’ leave of absence from 16th to 21st instant, in order that I can see my beloved father.I should be much obliged if you would grant me my application.As regards the lessons to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make up for them as soon as I get back from home.Sincerely yours,××× I should be much obliged if you would...是一种客套语,表示“……,我当不胜感激。”“补课”的英文是to make up for the lessons。2)约请(Invitation)Directions: You have a ticket to the Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is visiting and you want to give it to your friend Alice.Write a note to her and say: 1)the time of the show, 2)the place where you will wait for her.Sunday Dear Alice, Here is a piece of good news for you.The Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is now on a visit in Beijing, will give a performance in the Beijing Grand Theater tomorrow evening.I am sure that you will be happy to watch it.Here I leave you an admission card.The performance will begin at seven o’clock sharp.I will wait for you at the theater entrance.Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming or not.××× 约朋友一起去看戏,可是朋友不在家,只好留下票子和一张便条,但又怕朋友来不了,所以在便条最后特地写上“如果你来不了,告诉我一声”(Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming)3)道歉(Apology)
人非圣贤,孰能无过。在社会交往中,人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情,就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解,不影响感情,在这种情况下,应写信给对方予以解释,以请求谅解。此类信要写得及时,态度要诚恳,用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚,然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。
例1 Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.May 20th Dear Lily, I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday.I know that you must have been disappointed.I also feel worried and anxious in my heart.The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p.m.I am terribly sorry.However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday.Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.××× 临时有事未能赴约,一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉,最好能有弥补(to make up),邀请对方周末再碰头(I would like to ask you out this weekend)注意句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法:情态动词+完成时态,表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为“你当时一定感到很失望”。
例2 Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house.Please express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 words.6.April Dear Lucy, I do apologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning.It is difficult for me to make a choice.Though I also wonder to meet you very much.I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday.Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time? Thank you very much.××× 自己家里有客人,自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词,可以加上助动词,例如:I do apologize for being late.例3 Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you can’t go.Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.Monday 9:00 am Dear Jane, I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m.to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.I really have kept our date in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’s e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s urgent and I must go.Please forgive me.Would you please ring me up to make another time? Many thanks.××× 因有事而不能赴约,只能另约时间(to make或to fix another time)。英国人一般把“打电话”说成to ring somebody up,还可以说 to give somebody a ring,不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。美国人通常说to call somebody。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时,应说明原因并诚恳地道歉,以期获得别人的谅解。4)借物(Borrowing)Directions: You are going to write a note for borrowing sth.Please describe these information clearly 1)the thing you ask 2)what you are going to do with it 3)how long will you take it.Tuesday Dear Xiao Wang, I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days.Now I am translating some important articles.There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually.I just have a paper dictionary but of course it’s not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating.So I think your electronic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work.I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it.Thank you very much!
Yours ever,××× 字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具,但千万不能从字面上认为“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”,而应该用“look up”这个固定短语来表达。“影响……”有一个很地道的短语。“have effect upon/on”,如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good,反之,就加“a bad”其他的形容词例如great,remarkable也可以用来修饰effect,此词在这里是名词。5)回复友人问候(Reply for Regards)Directions: You have just had an operation, and received a note of regards from your friend Jenny.Now please write a reply to her to tell her your current situation.Jan.8th.Dear Jenny, Thanks for your letter of sympathy I received the day before yesterday.The operation on my leg was a wonderful success.You know I had been suffering a lot from my leg since my childhood.The operation removed the cause of trouble.It is quite worth having the operation.I am daily recovering from my illness.I’m confident I will soon be in the office again after proper treatment.Thank you for kind wishes.My best wishes to all your family
××× 这是对好友问候便条的回复。形式简单,内容明了。过去完成进行时“I had been suffering…my childhood”表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。便条写作中的语言表达:
中国人与西方人看问题的方法的确在许多方面存在着差异,而且这种差异的的确确在束缚着中国学生,成为他们英文写作中的拦路虎,使他们不能准确而简洁地表达思想。
比如写下面一则便条,因母亲突然生病,周末你不能和汤姆去跳舞了,你找了舞跳得很好的时黛来代替你,并表示抱歉。
July 6
Dear Tom,I am sorry to inform you that I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend.My mother is suddenly taken ill.In order not to disappoint you,I have asked Shi Dai to take my place.She is a better dancer,I think.
My regrets.
Joe 从便条中可看出,英语表达先“果”—I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend后“因”—my mother is suddenly taken ill,即所谓“先果后因”。
一般来说,在单个句子中,英语句子也是先中心,也就是将主要思想、结果放在句首,放在主句里表达;而汉语正相反,一般为后中心,主要的观点、信息往往放在句末。如:He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill.(因为他病了,昨天他不得不呆在家里。)
Tragedies can be written in literature since there is tragedy in life.(生活中既然有悲剧,文学作品就可以写悲剧。)
所以说,大学生用英文写作时,要按照英美人的思维模式进行思考,避免写出中国式的英语。

2010年Should College Students Hire Cleaners Buying or Borrowing Books?
Books are close friends of humanity.They can arm us with knowledge and information we need to make success of life.Through books we can obtain skills and techniques for survival and development.Through books we can enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life.There are generally two ways in which we can access to books: borrowing or buying.While millions are borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest enjoyment.Admittedly, there are a few merits for borrowing books.For one thing, borrowing books can save us huge amounts of money.And of course, with the money saved we can do other more worthy things.And also, as we borrow books from the library and friends, we normally have deadline to finish them, and consequently we can read more books in a limited time.And we can, above all, better our efficiency of our reading, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can not be read unless borrowed.”
However, some advantages for buying books are more obvious and compelling.One of them, definitely not shared by the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of freedom that buying books can offer us.Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we can read as much as we want.Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books.And finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun that borrowing books can by no means offer.While borrowing books can, to some extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying books gives us greater pleasure of selecting and keeping the best of the world treasure.Can we think of any thing else more delightful and rewarding?
