雅思大作文题目

“ Figures show that in some countries, there is an ever-increasing proportion of population aged 15 or younger. What do you think are the effects of current and future on those countries?”

本题是新题。
在某些国家，15岁以下的孩子数量增多，这会给这些国家的现在和将来造成什么后果？

这个问题可能会难住很多烤鸭。其实，如果我们稍微沉下心来想想，我们就能找到一些思路。比如：孩子多了，会不会给父母的工作生活带来压力？会不会给学校的教学质量带来压力？会不会给社会安全带来压力？而在未来，当这些孩子长大，会不会给就业带来压力？从这些思路去写，本题还是有很多内容的。

老师笔记

In some poorest countries in Africa, there is an ever-increasingnumber of people who are aged 15 or under. With the growingyoung population, the future of these countries can be either full of threats or opportunities.

在非洲一些最贫穷的国家，15岁或15岁以下的人越来越多。随着年轻人口的增长，这些国家的未来要么充满威胁，要么充满机遇。

解析
（1）本段为开头段，直接点题，并提出自己的观点。
（2）ever-increasing 不断增加的
（3）growing 增长的
（4）threat 威胁

For the present, it is clear that the current scenes across Africa are mostly bad due to problems related to the youngsters. One problem is that the weight of the young generation on the shoulders of the relatively few adults tends to drag downeconomic growth rates. Another problem is youth unemploymentbecause it appears that there would be not enough jobs waiting for them when they grow a little older. Alongside youth unemployment, violent crime is among the highest on the planet. Such negative realities illustrate the threats with Africa’s growing young population.

就目前而言，很明显，由于与年轻人有关的问题，非洲目前的情况大多是糟糕的。一个问题是年轻一代给相对较少的成年人带来的负重往往会拖累经济增长率。另一个问题是青年失业，因为当他们长大一点时，似乎没有足够的工作等着他们。除了青年失业之外，暴力犯罪也是地球上的犯罪之一。这些消极的现实说明了非洲不断增长的青年人口所面临的威胁。

解析
（1）本段论述青少年人口增长给现在带来的压力和威胁，主要从三个方面展开：经济、就业、犯罪，最后一句是总结。
（2）current 目前的
（3）weight 重量；负重
（4）drag down 拖累
（5）unemployment
失业（unemployment rate 失业率）
（6）alongside 除了（=besides）

What this trend means in the future of Africa can be either positive or negative, depending on some critical factors. On the one hand, a youthful population usually promises opportunities toboost economies and better people’s lives. It is because an increasing working-age populatio**** **** **** major drive for economic development. On the other hand, lack of meaningful work among young people is playing into frustration that may in some instances contribute to social unrest or unmanageable migration to Europe. Unless political leadership can offer young people something to live for, social stresses like unemployment can make them easy prey to those who offer them something to die for. In view of these two opinions, the future of Africa’s young populatio**** **** ****n uncertainty.

这一趋势对非洲的未来可以是积极的，也可以是消极的，取决于一些关键因素。一方面，年轻的人口通常意味着有机会促进经济，改善人们的生活。这是因为劳动适龄人口的增加是推动经济发展的主要动力。另一方面，年轻人缺乏有意义的工作演变成沮丧，在某些情况下也可能导致社会动荡或无法控制的欧洲移民。除非政治领导能为年轻人提供生活的动力，否则社会压力就像失业一样，他们很容易成为某些人的牺牲品（这些人为年轻人提供生活的动力）。鉴于这两种意见，非洲青年人口的未来是不确定的。

解析
（1）本段写青少年人口增长对非洲未来的不确定之处：有好的一面（劳动人口增加），也有坏的一面（失业导致社会动荡）。
（2）depend on 取决于
（3）boost 提高
（4）better 改进
（5）drive 动力（n.）
（6）frustration 沮丧
（7）prey 猎物
（8）in view of 鉴于；考虑到

In conclusion, because of the expected increase of young population in the next few decades to come, there is no tellingwhat will happen to the poorest parts of Africa. Things are bad enough today, but they might become even worse before ever becoming better.

总之，预计未来几十年中青年人口将增加，因此无法预测非洲最贫穷地区会发生什么情况。今天的情况已经够糟了，但在变得更好之前，可能会变得更糟。

解析
（1）结尾段，总结前文观点。
（2）decade 十年
（3）there is no telling 无法判断

雅思大作文题目

“ The restoration of old buildings in major cities in the world costs numerous governments’ expenditure. This money should be used in new housing and road development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

本题是2013年7月27日的原题重现，与2017年12月2日的题目（城市里的旧建筑应该被拆除吗？）也有相似之处，都是关于老建筑是否该保留或者拆除的问题。

本题其实也是要求烤鸭们论证，到底该不该对老建筑进行重新修缮？因为重修老建筑需要花费很多钱，那么到底值不值得呢？这些钱是不是该用于建新的住房，或者新的道路呢？因此，这里还涉及一个小小的比较：到底老建筑重要，还是新的住房和道路更重要？

我们当然可以这样来论证本题：很多老的建筑物既危险，也影响城市面貌，因此完全没有必要重修，可以拆除它们，而节约下来的钱用于改善我们现实的住房和道路条件；但也有很多建筑物具有历史文化价值，是我们民族记忆的一部分，因此应该保留，花再多钱修缮都是值得的。这是两边论证的思路。

我们也可以这样来论证：老建筑物虽然有价值，但毕竟只是与生活无关的价值。我们现实生活中需要更好的住房条件和道路条件，这样才能使城市居民生活更幸福，更和谐。因此，用于修缮老建筑物的钱完全应该用于改善住房和道路条件。这是一边倒论证的思路。

老师笔记

Every city has old buildings. Every year the governments around the world spend large sums of money restoring them. Some people consider this a huge waste of money and they believe the governments’ budget should go to building new houses and roads, while others insist that the restoration of old buildings in cities is well worth the money.

每个城市都有旧建筑。每年全世界的政府都花大笔的钱来修缮它们。有些人认为这是对金钱的极大浪费，他们相信政府的预算应该投去建造新的房子和道路，而其他人则坚持认为修缮城市的旧建筑是值得花钱的。

解析
（1）本段为开头段，直接引入旧建筑的话题，然后提出两类观点。这里的核心问题是：修缮这些旧建筑需要投入巨资，这是否值得？因此在引入话题时一定要提出“巨资”的问题。
（2）restore 修复；恢复
（3）a huge waste of money 金钱的极大浪费
（4）budget 预算
（5）be well worth 完全值得......

There are a host of reasons why some urban old buildings should not be restored. To start with, the old buildings are no longer suitable for people to live in, therefore they should be destroyed and give way to new buildings so that people, especially young people in the cities have more living spaces. Secondly, the old buildings can cause inconveniences for the city dwellers. Since there is not a direct route through the old buildings, people sometimes have to go to and off work by making a long detouraround them, and in this way much of their time is wasted. Finally, the old buildings may give rise to safety problems. More than 100 people, for example, are killed or injured each year in my city, just because of the collapse of some ancient buildings.

有些市区旧楼不应修复，原因很多。首先，这些旧建筑物不再适合人们居住，因此它们应该被摧毁，让位给新的建筑，这样人们，特别是城市的年轻人有更多的居住空间。第二，旧建筑物会给城市居民带来不便。因为没有直接穿过旧建筑的道路，人们有时不得不绕道上下班，这样就浪费了很多时间。最后，这些老建筑也许引起安全问题。例如，每年有100多人在我住的城市丧生或受伤，就是因为一些古老建筑倒塌。

解析
（1）本段论述部分人的观点：老建筑不应修缮，而应该拆除。主要提出三个原因：空间问题、交通问题、安全问题。当然，也可以论述市容市貌问题。
（2）a host of reasons 众多理由
（3）give way to... 让位于......
（4）city dweller 城市居民
（5）make a detour 绕道
（6）give rise to 产生，引起
（7）collapse 倒塌

Yet old buildings - at least some of them - are significanthistorically and culturally, and hence should be restored for that reason. They carry some important messages about the city or even the whole nation. The Summer Palace, for instance, is a perfect reminder of how the imperial family in the Qing Dynasty in feudal China were living and so has great cultural significance. Such old buildings, if well preserved, can become tourist spots and attract thousands of visitors from all around the globe.

然而，旧建筑--至少其中一些--在历史上和文化上都是重要的，因此应该予以修复。它们传递一些关于这个城市，甚至整个国家的重要信息。例如颐和园就很好地提醒我们，封建中国的清朝皇族是如何生活的，因此有重要的文化意义。这些古老的建筑，如果保存完好，可以成为旅游景点，吸引成千上万来自世界各地的游客。

解析
（1）本段论述老建筑物的价值：主要从文化角度讲，顺便提及旅游价值。本段使用了举例的论述方法。
（2）significant 重要的
（3）reminder 提醒物
（4）imperial 帝王的
（5）around the globe 全球

We all need a memory of our past. Many old buildings do have historical and cultural value which tells us who we were. We need to take good care of these buildings and keep them as long as possible, however much money it may involve, so that they can tell the stories of the city or the nation to our future generations. Of course, the money squandered on those old buildings with little value should be used to solve more practical problems such as housing and traffic.

我们都需要过去的记忆。许多老建筑确实具有历史和文化价值，告诉我们我们是谁。我们需要照顾好这些建筑物，并尽可能长时间地保存它们，不管这会涉及多少金钱，这样它们就可以向我们的后代讲述城市或国家的故事。当然，浪费在那些价值不大的旧建筑物上的钱应该用于解决更实际的问题，如住房和交通。

解析
（1）结尾段，提出自己的观点：应该修缮有文化历史价值的老建筑，同时不应在没有价值的老建筑物花钱。
（2）memory 记忆
（3）value 价值
（4）involve 涉及；包含
（5）generation 代；辈
（6）squander 浪费
（7）practical 实际的

雅思大作文题目

“ It is believed by many that those people who read for pleasure are better in imagination and language skills than those who prefer to watch TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

本题是2013年1月5日的原题重现，最近几次考题都在重复2013年的原题，这或许是巧合，但也提醒各位烤鸭，近期多重视2013年 2014年的原题。

那么，休闲式的阅读（read for pleasure）和看电视到底哪个更有利于培养我们的想象力和语言能力呢？

审题中需要注意：一定要：
（1）比较休闲式的阅读和看电视；（2）涉及想象力和语言能力。不可缺失。

观点选取：
可以一边倒的方式，即认为阅读/看电视有利于培养想象力和语言能力，这就需要找到2-3个赞同一方的理由，同时驳斥另一方；也可以双边讨论，即说清楚在哪些情况下阅读比看电视好，而在另外的情况下看电视比阅读更好。

本次唐老师提供的范文，意思非常简单清楚，但语言清晰，文章结构合理，特别适合目前写作水平在6分但又想冲刺7分的同学模仿。

老师笔记

People can entertain themselves in multiple ways.They can read books, surf the internet, listen to music or watch TV. Many consider that the individuals who often read are better in language skills and creative capabilities like imagination than those who prefer to watch TV. To a certain extent, I am in favor of this argument.

人们可以通过多种方式娱乐自己，他们可以读书、上网、听音乐或看电视。许多人认为，在语言技能和类似想象力的创造能力方面，经常阅读的人比那些喜欢看电视的人更好。在某种程度上，我赞成这个论点。

解析
（1）本段为开头段，通过娱乐的方式罗列引出题目观点，最后点出自己的观点。这是中规中矩的开头段。
（2）entertain 使......娱乐；招待
（3）multiple 多样的；多种的（=many）
（4）capability 能力
（5）in favor of 赞同

Obviously, when one is reading, he can come across thousands of words and hundreds of grammar points in a very short time. Then he will be required to comprehend the meaning of the words, collocations and sentence structures. Sometimes when he is faced with some unknown words or has no idea about what a paragraph is about, he will be forced to take a guess, which is necessary for language learning and use. By contrast, when a person watches TV, what attracts him is just the changing pictures presented on the screen and he is less likely to pay enough attention to thesubtitles or the background voices, as a consequence, he can hardly improve his language skills. When he has something to say, he may feel the idea is just at the tip of his tongue, but he can barely describe his mind in his own words.

很明显，当一个人阅读的时候，他可以在很短的时间内遇到数千个单词和数百个语法点。然后，他将被要求理解词语、搭配和句子结构的意思。有时，当他面对一些不明白的词或不知道某段话是什么意思时，他会被迫去猜测，而猜测是语言学习和使用所必需的。相反，当一个人看电视时，吸引他的只是屏幕上变化的图像，他不太可能对字幕或背景声音给予足够的关注，因此，他很难提高他的语言技能。当他有话要说的时候，他可能会觉得这个想法就在嘴边却很难用自己的语言描述思想。

解析
（1）本段论述在语言能力培养方面，阅读比看电视更有优势：阅读会要求读者去理解语言，猜测语义，而看电视则只看图像，对语言不太关注，这样，阅读势必更能培养我们的语言能力。当然，如果换个角度，我们也完全可以认为，看电视可能更有利于培养我们的听说能力。
（2）come across 遇到
（3）comprehend 理解
（4）be faced with... 面临
（5）subtitle 字幕
（6）at the tip of one’s tongue 在嘴边

In addition, those who read for pleasure often have to imagine in order to understand the world the words create especially when there are no illustrations. Therefore, the more they read, the better their imagination becomes and the sharper their mind gets. Those who sit in front of TV all day, however, do not have to imagine as often as those who read for pleasure because the pictures on the screen tell them everything they want to know.

此外，那些休闲阅读的人往往必须想象才能了解文字创造的世界，尤其是在没有插图的情况下。因此，读得越多，他们的想象力就越好，头脑就越敏锐。然而，那些整天坐在电视前的人，不必像休闲阅读的人那样经常想象，因为屏幕上的图像告诉了他们想知道的一切。

解析
（1）本段论述在想象力培养方面，阅读也同样具有优势。
（2）create 创造
（3）illustration （书中的）插图

In conclusion, TV can undoubtedly present knowledge in a much vivid way, but reading is more beneficial. If you want to improve your language skills and imagination, doing more reading is a much better choice.

总之，电视无疑可以生动地呈现知识，但阅读更有益处。如果你想提高你的语言技能和想象力，多阅读是好得多的选择。

解析
（1）结尾段，提出自己的观点：阅读是提高想象力和语言能力的非常好办法。值得注意的是，在提出结论之前，本文先用一句提出了看电视的优势，这是雅思作文中常见的先扬后抑的写法。
（2）undoubtedly 毫无疑问地
（3）present 呈现

雅思大作文题目

“ More and more people buy and use their own car. Do you think the advantages of this trend for individuals outweigh its disadvantages for environment?”

本题为雅思考试经典旧题，最近一次出现在2016年9月15日。相信参加本次考试的烤鸭会很开心，这个话题实在是太熟悉，甚至可能都背诵过范文。

大家看一个数据：2004年中国汽车保有量是2400万辆，到2015年，这个数据已经达到1.37亿！也就是说，仅仅10年时间，活跃在中国大街小巷的汽车增加了500%！而这增加的车辆，多数都是私家车。的确，近些年中国的汽车行业发展太快了，以至于很多人对此都有意见。那么，本次雅思考题正是针对这样的一个问题。

汽车的确能够人们带来很多方便。在拥挤的都市里，虽然有发达的公交系统和地铁系统，但都非常拥挤，有时候还赶不上，严重地耽误上班时间，即使挤上去，帅哥美女们挤杂在熙熙攘攘的各色人群中，的确时有尊严不足之感。好，开私家车让自己出行更方便，更有自由和舒适感，这些是买私家车的好处。

但是，那么多人开私家车，我们又不得不考虑它们对环境的消极影响。这个不难理解。很多都指出，北京的雾霾（其实不只是北京，全世界稍微大点的城市，哪个没有雾霾？只是北京雾霾太严重，于是成了众人讥讽的城市，这有点不公平，大家都是五十步笑百步），很大程度上就是由于这个城市的车太多引起的。车一发动，灰尘(dust)扬起，尾气(exhaust gas)外喷，的确容易污染空气。讨论完私家车对个人的好处以及对环境的坏处后，我们的观点应该是什么呢？这里就没有所谓正确答案了。你可以说自由和方便高于一切，可以开发新的科技来解决由此引起的环境问题；你也可以说环境高于一切，出行的方便可以通过改进公交系统来解决；你还可以说，自由方便和环境都很重要，但呼吁尽量减少用车时间，共同维护美好环境，等等。

这里提醒大家，其实本题还是隐藏了一个陷阱的。很多同学一看到“汽车”话题太过于开心，于是忘记了仔细审题：本题要求比较的是汽车对个人的好处以及对环境的坏处。

因此，在讨论汽车的好处时一定要聚焦“汽车对个人的好处”，比如汽车给我们出行带来的便捷，如果讨论汽车如何增加政府的收入，则属于偏题；在讨论汽车的坏处时一定要聚焦“汽车给环境带来的压力”，比如空气污染，噪音污染等，如果讨论开车耗费我们很多金钱，则属于偏题。因此，建议烤鸭们在考场上一定要静下心来，仔细审题后再作答。

老师笔记

Just 50 years ago, to own a car was quite a luxury, but today, cars have found their way into many households. Statistics show in China alone, there are over 140 million cars running on road every day. While cars have brought about conveniences to their users, they have imposed great pressure on the environment.

仅仅在50年前，拥有一辆汽车还是一件相当奢华的事情，但今天，汽车已经走进很多家庭了。数据显示，仅在中国，每天就有超过1.4亿辆车在路上奔跑。虽然汽车给使用者带来了诸多便利，但它们也给环境造成巨大压力。

解析
（1）本段用比较方法引出话题，然后用数据补充，最后重述题目观点。这种做法可以让段显得生动活泼。如果千篇一律地使用如下开头，则会使文章没有生机：
A. With the development of the society, more and more people buy and use their own car.
B. When it comes to the car ownership and use, many people think they are good to the individuals but very bad to the environment.
这两种典型的作文开头法虽然可以，但正因为其，就显得没有任何个性，而显示出作者的个性，是作文得到高分的必需。引用数据或者通过比较来引入话题，就显得更为独特。
（2）luxury 奢华
（3）find one’s way to/into... 进入到...... (比简单的enter显得更为地道，生动！）
（4）in China alone...仅仅在中国 (这里的alone与孤独没有任何关系，表示“仅仅”）
（5）impose pressure on... 给......施加了压力

Modern city life has made the car an indispensable means of transport. Though most cities today have fairly advanced transportation systems like the bus and metro, they tend to be extremely crowded, especially in rush hours. This means you might come to your office late or miss some important appointments. If you drive your own car, these problems may well be avoided. At the same time, when you plan to take your family for a trip out of town, you may also enjoy the flexibility of when to start off and when to return, rather than spending time waiting for the bus to arrive.

现代的城市生活已经让汽车成为一种不可或缺的交通工具。虽然现在绝大多数城市都有相当发达的交通系统，比如公共汽车和地铁，但它们也容易变得非常拥挤，尤其是在上下班高峰期。这就意味着你可能上班迟到，或者错过一些重要的约会。如果你开自己的车，这些问题就可得到避免。同时，当你计划带家人出城游玩时，你也享有何时出发何时回来的灵活性，而不是花时间等待公交车到来。

解析
（1）本段论证汽车给人们生活带来的便利：是公交或地铁太拥挤，可能因此上班迟到；第二是全家出去旅游时更灵活。
（2）indispensable 不可或缺的
（3）means of transport / transportation 交通运输工具
（4）rush hours （上下班）高峰期
（5）flexibility 灵活性

However, the increased use of cars has caused seriousconsequences for our environment. Many experts, for instance,attributes the worsening air quality in big cities to the cars’exhaust gas emission and the dust that rises after them. This accusation is perhaps well-grounded if you make a little comparison between the air quality 50 years ago and that now. In addition to the waste gas and dust, cars also make unbearable noises, which is a headache to all city dwellers. Just imagine a time you are shocked awake from your cozy dream by the sharp brakingscreech of a car passing by your house!

然而，汽车使用越来越多，已经给环境带来了严重的后果。比如，许多将大城市日益恶化的空气质量归咎于汽车的尾气释放以及汽车后面扬起的尘土。如果你把50年前的空气质量和现在的空气质量稍微比较一下，（你就会发现）这种指责也许是有依据的。除了尾气和尘土外，汽车还制造令人难以忍受的噪音，这令所有城市居民感到头疼。想一想吧，某次你被经过你家房子的汽车的尖利刹车声从美梦中惊醒！

解析
（1）本段讨论汽车对环境的影响，一是造成了空气质量下降，二是造成了很多噪音。本段最后一句也是一个个性表达的范例！
（2）consequences 后果
（3）attribute...to... 将......归因于......
（4）exhaust gas emission 尾气释放
（5）well-grounded 有依据的
（6）city dweller 城市居民
（7）screech 尖叫声

In my view, it is unrealistic for the government to put a ban on the car ownership or use since the cars have been so important in our daily life, yet we cannot overlook the negative effects they have on the environment. To get out of this dilemma, to my mind,there are two options, the first being to develop car technologyand produce cars that burn less fuel and the second, encourage the car owners to use public transportation whenever possible.

我认为，政府禁止拥有或使用汽车是不现实的，因为汽车在我们的日常生活中已经如此重要，但是我们也不能忽视汽车给环境带来的负面影响。我觉得，为了走出这个困境，我们有两个选择，其一，发展汽车科技，制造出较少耗费燃料的汽车，其二，鼓励汽车拥有者们尽可能使用公共交通。

解析
（1）本段表达自己的观点，提出汽车和环境都需要，并因此提出了两个选择方案：一是设计耗油少的汽车，二是鼓励大家尽量选坐公共交通。
（2）unrealistic 不现实的
（3）overlook 忽视
（4）dilemma 困境
（5）option 选择
（6）...there are two options, the first being to develop car technology... 该句后半部分是独立主格结构，因此用being，而不能用is。在有把握的前提下，偶尔使用一下这种高端句型，有可能给考官留下好印象。如果没有把握，就要老老实实地写：...there are two options. The first one is to develop car technology...
