2012年10月20日雅思写作考试

小作文:The map below shows the floor plan of a community and its proposal transformation.(地图题,两幅,一个是某社区中心现在的结构 有meeting room,reception等六个房间 其他地方是car park; 第二个图 基本上所有房间面积都double了, 还加了café,gym,garden,入口方向也变了。)

答题策略:两幅图分别各写一段。第一幅图写各个房间的位置,时态过去式,句型有there be 和主系表结构;第二幅图主要写变化,用表示计划和预测的词汇,如be proposed, be suggested, be planned, be predicted.

大作文:Visiting other countries becomes easier and more affordable than before. Is it a positive and negative development?(现在人们去其他国家旅游越来越方便了,这是一个好的还是不好的现象? )

点评:文化旅游与全球化类话题,属于“老题新出”,与06年5月20日,08年11月20日的话题基本一致。但是要注意,这道题不是讨论airplane 的好坏,而是visiting other countries的好坏。另外,visiting other countries不局限于旅游,也涉及business trip.

建议观点:broaden horizon;boost tourism;mitigate cultural difference

分析:这道题目之前大体介绍下作为出现概率最高的“对立双方题型”的几种分类。对立双方题型大体上可以分为:1. 客观现象的优缺点题型2. 对idea无明显限制的观点题3. 对idea有限制的观点题。

该题属于第一类。这类题中,考官出题会频繁地使用“advantages”“disadvantages”“positive””negative”等关键字。通常来说此类题目在想法上对于考生没有过多的限制,因此,从这个角度上来讲,此类题目偏简单。

旅游的好处:

1. 丰富了人们的生活。

2. 扩大人的交际圈

3. 刺激当地经济的发展

4. 促进了不同国家,不同地域人的交流 等等

旅游的坏处:

1. 带来文化的冲突,使得不同民族,种族的人的偏见更激化。

2. 对当地的环境带来污染。

具体行文(此趋势丰富了人的生活):

鉴于这个题目做到切题不难,所以期望高分的同学可以在句式上可以考虑在句式上花点功夫,其中一个常用的办法是在主语和谓语中插入定语,以此来使得一个句子传递的信息更具体。

比如:下划线属于定语

一个在弗吉尼亚吃完早饭的人可以在晚上欣赏紫禁城的夜色。

An individual having had breakfast in Virginia could enjoy the enchanting night over the Forbidden City.

Everyone has a desire to experience a desire to visit a place that one has never been to and to have knowledge of how people in other parts of the world live. Whereas, in the past when distances were a barrier, our ancestors were deprived of the chance, being only able to reach a land within several days’ride. However, this has not been a concern thanks to this trend. The convenience of transport has allowed an individual having had breakfast in Virginia to enjoy the enchanting night over the Forbidden City.

答题策略:

第一段:介绍背景,飞机便宜,航班多,跨国出行变得容易

第二段:positive pointes

1 旅游业的发展,经济增长,尤其对某些工业不发达国家更有影响

2航空业的发展

3人们活动范围和视野的扩大,文化交流的增多

4跨国贸易与商务增加

第三段:negative points

1 对环境的影响

2 能源的消耗

3 文化趋同

4 跨国公司的垄断

5 贫富差距加大

第四段:总结,虽然国际交融是不可阻挡的趋势,但是应尽量开发本地资源,保持地方文化特色,避免舍近求远或浪费资源。

范文1:

Never before was travelling to alien countries so convenient and popular as in this century. This phenomenon is partially attributed to improved technology and cheap flight tickets. Facing this travel frenzy, some are concerned that it will bring about too many side effects whilst others insist that is should be supported and maintained.

Admittedly, cross-border travel has more downsides than one. Firstly, the carbon dioxide planes emitted is reported to be disproportionately more than that emitted by other transportation means. The carbon dioxide will lead to ozone layer thinning and thereby increase the probability of people contracting skin cancer. Moreover, being easier and more convenient to travel among countries means that some criminals could flee to other countries after committing hideous crime. This will pose a threat to local security and community stability.

However, the downsides cannot overshadow its upsides. For starters, travelling around the world with more ease could expand individuals’horizons and stimulate their love of life and they will be more productive at work in the future. Moreover, companies could visit foreign markets more conveniently than before and as a result, they could locate potential target market and sell goods there or buy materials from there if the price is competitively enough. If a company could flourish this way, employees will benefit and the society in which companies are operating will be more stable and harmonies. Last but not least, if more and more people are afforded opportunities to go to other countries, there will be less misunderstanding and more respect among countries. All these will contribute to a diverse but harmonious culture.

To sum up, despite the numerous drawbacks mentioned above, travelling to other countries with more convenience and ease is, by and large, a positive development.

范文2:

Looking back at the history of human beings, we can easily find that every transport technological breakthrough, such as steam trains, or motor cars, or even wheels, gave a great push on economic development and ushered in a whole new era. Certainly the airplane is no exception and generally considered as one of the most significant invention in the last century. It has diversified our means of transport and made the world smaller. In many countries, ordinary people can afford overseas flights.

Easier and cheaper air travel has made a significant difference to human life. As a highly efficient mode of transport, aircrafts have boosted tourism and aviation industry all over the world especially since the jet engine is applied. This means so much to those countries with underdeveloped industry, such as Australia, where tourism serves as one of the pillar industries. Not only have nations benefited from air travel, but individuals also have got chances to widen their horizons and companies to expand their activity sphere. Globalization driven by air transport and communication technology leads to more active cultural interaction and international trade.

However, there are some dissenting voices about people visiting other countries. Environmental conservationists remind us that air travel contributes to much more air pollution and exhaust more gas than cars and this is deteriorating the current global warming and energy crisis. Pessimistic attitude is also presented in the area of culture. While people enjoy increasing cultural communication, cultural diversity is dwindling due to certain cultures dominating others. Actually such domination is most obvious in multinational companies which hold more advantages when competing with smaller ones because they can afford frequent air trips and setting up overseas branches to take advantage of local labor and natural resources.

To conclude the essay, admitting that communication beyond national borders is an irreversible trend, I suggest that local resources should be fully explored and applied before visiting other countries is taken into consideration. Slowing down the trend can be beneficial for human for long term.
