2015年3月12日雅思写作回顾及解析

Task 1

The table describes the changes of people who went for international travel in 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005. (million).

分析：与去年table成为冷门考题的情况不同的是，今年截至到目前，这已经是第二次考表格题。但2月12号所考的为静态题，本场则是动态表格。本题为常规题型，难度不大，按动态图思路操作即可。表格涉及数字较多，需要特别注意数据的取舍，应选取关键数据进行描述，比如起始点、极值等。另外，要注意把握不同地区的变化趋势以及横向比较，如欧洲人数最多，中东最少，亚洲增幅非常大等。趋势相近的可以合并写，如亚、非、中东都是上升。

Task 2

Some people think that it is more important to plant more trees in open area in towns and cities than build more housing. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

分析：本题难度不大，考生比较容易确定思路，可采用4-5段式写法。开头段引出话题，表明总论点为应该多种树。主体段部分依次列举分论点并展开论述。注意每一主体段都要有明确的分论点，并且要进行合理有效地论证。结尾段重申总论点即可。

Sample Answer:

In recent years, global urbanization has been advancing at a staggering speed, one evidence of which could be found in the fact that an increasing number of housing are being constructed in major cities and towns, occupying a vast expanse of urban land. Under such circumstances, some people argue that it is more beneficial to plant more trees instead of building more housing in urban open areas. Personally, I tend to side with the view.

Undoubtedly, planting trees in open areas would be a cost-effective solution to the main environmental problems cities are suffering from. Firstly, trees could greatly improve cities’ air quality. For instance, owing to private car use and industrial pollution, many major cities without adequate green space are frequently exposed to air pollution. Some are even facing severe smog problems. Scientific research has shown that tress can help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Secondly, trees can also effectively reduce noise pollution. Planted at strategic points in cities, trees can abate major noises from freeways and airports.

Another noticeable benefit is that trees could provide better living environment for citizens. Trees will make towns and cities a more comfortable and vibrant place to live. With more trees planted in open areas, citizens would enjoy better health conditions, as well as lowering the risk for certain diseases, particularly respiratory problems such as asthma. Furthermore, trees are an integral part of urban landscape. More green space endows a city with more energy and attractiveness, giving citizens the opportunity to get close to nature and to take a break from tiring city life.

Additionally, one fact that cannot be ignored is that housing supply has exceeded demand in many cities. Still, some real estate developers are building excessive housing out of profit-seeking purposes, which takes up large quantities of valuable urban land. If we could replace those unnecessary housing with more trees or other green plants, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to a city’s sustainable development.

Overall, I believe that it is fairly essential to plant more trees in open areas in cities rather than build more unnecessary housing.
