3．观点：我的观点是，每家公司应该根据工作的性质nature of work来决定所录用男女的比例。

II.Body 1：男女员工数量相同的优点传统的社会观念social convention认为女性要比男性低一等women are inferior totheir male counterparts，因此女孩从小就不被鼓励做一些诸如政治、商务等工作and therefore most girls are not encouraged to pursue political office, businesssuccess and professional prestige.但是，男性掌握这些工作未必意味着他们就擅长这些工作。

雅思考试大作文题目素材「精粹」

雅思考试大作文题目素材「精粹」2017年雅思考试大作文题目素材「精粹」导语：雅思作文是雅思写作考试中一大难点，你知道今年可能会考哪个话题吗?下面是小编为您收集整理的英语资料，希望对您有所帮助。

【健康类】Scientists believe that eating fast food is harmful to one’s health. Some people think that education can help them change that bad habit. Others, however, argue that education does not work. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 科学家认为吃快餐有害健康，有人认为教育可以帮助人们改变这个不良习惯，有人认为教育不起作用，讨论两种观点。

(2010年12月11日雅思考试题目 )【老师点评】讨论两种观点，可以使用第一人称口吻，也可以使用第三人称口吻。

【作家立场】保障健康饮食，教育是起到一定的积极作用，但是，健康饮食不能仅仅依靠教育。

【思路拓展】①青少年是快餐的主要消费者，快餐含有过多的糖分、脂肪、热量，长期食用有害健康。

所以，青少年应该成为教育的主体。

②为了减少快餐对于消费者的不良影响，除了教育以外，政府也该承担责任。

例如，美国政府已经限制肯德基捆绑销售儿童套餐的商业行为。

【范文赏析】【首段】背景介绍+ 作家立场So prevailing are the fast foods that some teenagers are in the habit eating junk foods nearly every week. From the perspective of some nutritionists, too much intake of sugar, calorie and fat is undoubtedly health-threatening, for fast food,in most cases, is low in nutritional value. People differ greatly in their views as to how to foster wholesome dietary habit. As I see it, educating the public about the dangers of unhealthy eating, regulating baneful sales and food advertisements to children and lowering the price of healthy foods should be used together to help people keep fit.【二段】Granted, one effective way to promote a healthy diet is to educate people about the potential risks of unhealthy diet. Modern people might opt for healthier meals and snacks if they are taught that fast foods are high in salt, fat and sugar. To illustrate, I myself changed my unwholesome eating habits after watching television programs on how to preserve health. Also, while it is of great significance to educate adult eater, schoolchildren should be main target for education because they are not only in their formative years but also the regular eaters of fast foods.【三段】In addition to education, other ways to promote healthy eating are not far to seek. First, methods should be adopted to strictly censor those junk food advertisement aiming at children. Meanwhile, bundle sale of children’ meals by giving out gift toys ought to be banned. Virtually, American has already enacted relevant legislations to restrict such sale promotion of KFC and Mcdonald's. Also, it is imperative for the governments to ensure that healthy foods are cheaper so that people could afford to buy the wholesome foods. Imaginably，the decreased price of fresh fruits and vegetable could enable more people to enjoy healthier foods.【尾段】Overall, education could aid people to change bad eating habits. However, it also works to restrain the improper publicity and sale of fast food restaurant as well as lower the price of wholesome foods【老师语料库】1. So prevailing are the fast foods that some children and youngsters are in the habit of eating fast foods nearly every week. 快餐是如此流行，以至于很多孩子或青少年现在有每周几乎吃快餐的习惯。

子题：大学应当教授理论知识还是实践技能？大学的是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：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的科目？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好处就是各种能力的锻炼，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 give 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罪负责？要不要把小孩趁早送到学校去？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？二、生态环境、自然资源与动物保护1. 动物需要保护吗？母题：Now many people think that we are spending too much money and time on protecting wild animals. The money should be better spent on human population. Do you agree or disagree? (031213, 110709)提示：这类题型采取驳斥的写法来写，先驳斥这是浪费钱，因为在动物上花的钱可以通过发展旅游业来得到补偿。

然后再写动物保护的意义。

子题：要不要进行动物实验？要不要把动物关在动物园里？要不要吃动物的肉？人们可以采取什么措施来保护珍稀的动植物物种？2. 环境保护谁来负责？母题：Environmental problem is too big for individual countries and individual people to address. In other words, we have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (040228, 040515, 110507)提示：不管题目怎么出，永远记得国际合作、企业、政府、个人，都可以为环境保护做出自己的努力。

所以，你要准备的内容，就是以上四个方面可以做的事情。

子题：个人能不能保护环境？个人不能保护环境，只有政府大公司才能，同意吗？公司和个人，而不是政府，可以保护环境，同意吗？很多人知道环境保护很重要，但是自己却不采取任何行动，这是为什么？3. 垃圾问题怎么办？母题：Many people say that we have developed into a “throw-away”culture, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree with this opinion and what measures can you recommend reducing this problem? (050806)提示：这道题目应该围绕“一次性文化”产生的原因、后果和解决方法来展开。

原因：对于方便、卫生的追求。

后果：破坏水源、污染土地、污染空气。

解决方法：三个R：reduce, reuse, recycle。

子题：消费品的增加会导致自然环境的破坏，原因和解决方法是什么？4. 自然资源如何保护？母题：Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, are used in many countries. But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, areencouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development? (090530)、提示：这道题目问的是新能源alternative energy的优缺点。

优点：取之不尽用之不竭inexhaustible，更环保environmentally-friendly, 缺点：核能nuclear power会引发安全事故，水能hydropower会破坏生态环境upset the ecological balance, 太阳能solar power 成本太高，风能wind power会产生次声波污染infrasonic wave.子题：淡水资源如何保护？是什么原因导致了石油、森林和淡水资源的紧张，如何解决？解决环境问题的最佳方法是提高石油的价格吗？（此题已被剑8收录）5. 交通工具母题：One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (060325, 080405)提示：这道题目是经典老题，多次在雅思(微博)考试中出现。
