雅思大作文 优缺点范文

雅思大作文 优缺点范文

雅思大作文优缺点范文城市生活就像一个五味杂陈的大杂烩,有着各种各样的味道,也就是优点和缺点。

一、优点。

1. 丰富的娱乐和文化活动。

在城市里,你永远不用担心无聊。

就像我住在大城市的时候,每次我觉得生活平淡得像一杯白开水,只要我一出门,就像是打开了一个装满惊喜的魔法盒子。

电影院里总是在上映最新的大片,从超级英雄拯救世界的刺激故事,到那些能让你哭得稀里哗啦的文艺爱情片,应有尽有。

剧院里呢,有各种话剧、音乐剧,演员们在舞台上就像闪闪发光的星星,用他们的表演把你带到另一个奇妙的世界。

还有数不清的音乐会,不管你是喜欢摇滚的疯狂节奏,还是古典音乐的优雅旋律,都能找到自己的心头好。

比如说我有一次去听一场摇滚音乐会,那种全场一起跟着音乐摇摆、大声唱歌的氛围,真的让我觉得自己充满了活力,就像被重新充电了一样。

博物馆也是城市的宝藏。

在里面,你可以穿越时空,了解古代文明的辉煌,看看那些古老的文物,像是能和几千年前的人对话。

美术馆里满是各种风格的艺术作品,从抽象的、让人摸不着头脑但又觉得很厉害的画作,到那些栩栩如生的写实作品,就像是走进了一个艺术的梦幻岛。

2. 便捷的交通和基础设施。

城市里的交通虽然有时候会堵得像一锅粥,但总体来说还是很方便的。

公共交通网络就像一张密密麻麻的蜘蛛网,把城市的各个角落都连接起来。

地铁就像是城市的地下动脉,快速地把人们送到目的地。

我记得有一次我要去城市的另一头参加一个重要的面试,我只需要在地铁里坐几站,然后再转一趟公交车就到了,总共花费不到一个小时。

要是在农村或者小镇,可能我得提前好几个小时出发,还得各种转车,说不定还得走路走得脚疼。

而且城市里的基础设施很完善。

到处都有超市,你想要的东西基本上都能买到。

不管是凌晨想吃个冰淇淋,还是突然发现家里没有卫生纸了,只要下楼走几步就有救了。

还有医院也很多,要是突然生病了,不用像在偏远地区那样等很久才能得到治疗。

我有一次不小心扭到了脚,附近就有一家小诊所,医生很快就给我处理好了,我当时就想,这在城市里可真方便啊。

2021年雅思写作模拟试题及答案(卷四)

2021年雅思写作模拟试题及答案(卷四)

2021年雅思写作模拟试题及答案(卷四)There is nothing unusual about energy like coals and oils being consumed, principally because economic development depends on natural resources all the time. But what is happening today is extraordinary judged by the standards of the past. It is energy depletion on a massive scale and this problem is so knotty that should deserve our closer heed.Amongst the diverse factors contributing to the energy crises around the world, government’s short-sighted policies and citizens’extravagant use of automobiles are probably the two most significant ones. By presuming on their natural resources, quite a few countries, especially developing ones, are eager to develop their economy in order to gain an edge over their rivals. Admittedly, their intensive use of the energy facilitates, to some extent, the developments of other industries in short term. Additionally, the amount of private cars increases at such a breakneck speed that the petroleum used amounts to an intimidating proportion of the natural resources.The consequences are undoubtedly disastrous for human beings. Although countries can boast their growth of GDP, their citizens have to endure the ever deteriorated environment with stinking gas belching from factories and vehicles, polluted water due to fuels infiltrating underground, even ultraviolet radiation in the absence of ozone layerand, therefore, their quality of life is by no means improved. Also, sustainable development can never come into true in this situation, meaning that our descendants can benefit nothing except sterile land and polluted air and water from their ancestors.Therefore, our government must take serious steps to attack those problems. The first and foremost is that governments have to reverse their mindset and no longer deem the growth of GDP their first goal. Rather, the betterment of citizens’quality of life should deserve more attention than the economic growth. Furthermore, the use of private cars should be discouraged by authorities, who must shoulder the responsibility of improving public transportation in order to facilitate people as well as release the burden of energy consumption.In conclusion, to avoid the phrase “filthy rich”added to themselves, countries must pay more heed to the efficient use of their energy and the issue of environmental protection, while they develop their economy; otherwise, environmental apocalypse and energy crisis are feared to happen in the horizon.In order to learn a language well, we should also learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it.To what extent do you agree or disagree?I fully support the assertion that to learn a language well, we should also learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of thepeople who speak it.Let’s first see how we normally define “learning a language really well”. By my understanding, learning a language well would mean being able to speak the language in a proper way. Here, with speaking it properly, we need to know that due to cultural differences, many things are just so different from culture to culture. For example, the Chinese often greet each other by asking ‘Have you taken your meal?’which, to the Western ears, would make an invitation to lunch or dinner. Therefore, the lack of a knowledge of the cultures of different countries will give rise to wrong interpretations of the message issued or received and as a result, lead to misunderstandings. In this way, we can not say that we are speaking the language properly and further, we can not say that we speak it well.Second, the ultimate purpose for us to learn a language is to use it in our communication with other people who speak it, mainly the native speakers. Suppose we know nothing about the US or Britain, including its government, its people, its tradition, and its other aspects. Do you think you can speak English properly, thus achieving effective communication with the American or British people? I’ll say at least I can’t.Third, the lifestyle of the people whose language we are learning is also something we need to know in order that we can speak their language properly. For instance, the Chinese eat pork, but this is not thecase with Muslims. Also, Muslims are very religious people and perform rituals many times a day. If we don’t know these things, how can we expect to communicate with them without incurring troubles? In this logic, if we cannot make sure that we are speaking their language properly, how can we say that we have learned their language well?From the above discussion, we can draw the conclusion that to learn a language really well, we also need to learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it.Now that you are benefitting from the use of the mobile phone and the Internet as social media as well as social interaction, could you imagine what your daily lives would be like without these inventions ? Living in this age of information technology may be a blessing, but there seems an undesirable feeling under disguise. For that matter, probably what you like would be social connectivity and what you dislike might be personal anxiety.It is a positive development that people have found it so easy to relate to one another electronically and share instantly in the social context. As technology has advanced, so has the need to remain contact with friends, family and loved ones. Through digital networking, the cell phone and the Internet have opened doors to the current generation's lives, as previously unheard of. While it goes without saying the many benefits that the Internet has to offer, the latest hand phones arewell-equipped with high-end features catering to a variety of communication needs from voice calls to text messaging. Apart from being able to help connect people anywhere and anytime, new handsets of innovative technology boast cutting-edge functions designed to upgrade work performance and provide fun factors, all at your fingertips. Besides, what do you have to say about Facebook, Twitter and Google+ that aree out there on your computer screens or on your smartphones?Nevertheless, the heavy use in social networking of the mobile phone and the Internet causes anxiety, not to mention the negative effects produced by possible radiation. Chances are that these gadgets are getting you on nerves. It is not so much because of such networking devices keeping you on alert 24/7 as because of the thought of being without them sometimes. So, there are feelings of increased anxiety during the absence of social mobility, as if when you were psychologically alone in the middle of nowhere. And yet, once people being connected, it appears to be no end of interactive communication, particularly when driving, for instance. In this case, the epidemic of people using cell phones to talk and to send text messages via the Internet behind the wheel could give rise to more of a hazard than drunk driving.As long as social interaction is concerned, it may be said that the hi-tech mobility is like a useful gift from heaven rather than apsychological disease from hell. The benefits of social interaction through the cellular and the Wi-fi seem indeed too good to be blamed. Whatever, there is no turning back to the age of B.C. (Before Computer).What is it that you like doing in your working life? If you are not happy with the job you have, it is the right thing to do to get out of it, the sooner the better. But for financial concerns, you ought to take a chance, at least once in your life time, to change for the new job that could be really worthy of your ability and passion. First, it is important that you have self-confidence in your ability regarding the job you have probably been waiting for. To illustrate, ever so often people feel lousy at some sort of work that is not compatible with their abilities. In this case, career change may seem not only necessary but also inevitable. Further, suppose you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening at the same time, it means you have not found the right place in which you could develop your potential. Under these circumstances, you might sense anything but happy, perhaps having neither job satisfaction nor job security in the workplace. So it is time for you to switch to a new job, believing that nothing would change, should you not change in time. Second, no less important is that you could work with passion in the new job because people rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing. And, money being not the issue, this reason might be what makes you leave the job which you usedto distaste. To put it simply, such career change is from one job which you 'have to do' to another job which you 'want to do'. Imagining that all life is a chance, you had better let go of the fear of abandoning the familiar; and, out of desire to succeed, you should risk to embrace the unknown. Of course making a move in the new direction is easier said than done since the old job, even not at all enjoyable, is a memorable part of who you are. Indeed, the difficult part may be that career transition often involves such courage as initiated by passion, and is one off the unsetting experiences you would find in your life. Paychecks always being an important motivational factor that people work, what could also make a difference is that you may expect to see how far you could go and how much delight you could take in doing your new job. That is, to find out what you are fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to professional happiness. All things considered, do you agree or disagree that life is too short for the wrong job?题目是Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic accidents. Others, however, believe that other measures would be more effective in improving road safety. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.范文:People have differing views with regard to the question of how to make our roads safer. In my view, both punishments and a range of othermeasures can be used together to promote better driving habits.On the one hand, strict punishments can certainly help to encourage people to drive more safely. Penalties for dangerous drivers can act as a deterrent, meaning that people avoid repeating the same offence. There are various types of driving penalty, such as small fines, licence suspension, driver awareness courses, and even prison sentences. The aim of these punishments is to show dangerous drivers that their actions have negative consequences. As a result, we would hope that drivers become more disciplined and alert, and that they follow the rules more carefully.On the other hand, I believe that safe driving can be promoted in several different ways that donot punish drivers. Firstly, it is vitally important to educate people properly before they start to drive, and this could be done in schools or even as part of an extended or more difficult driving test. Secondly, more attention could be paid to safe road design. For example, signs can be used to warn people, speed bumps and road bends can be added to calm traffic, and speed cameras can help to deter people from driving too quickly. Finally, governments or local councils could reduce road accidents by investing in better public transport, which would mean that fewer people would need to travel by car.In conclusion, while punishments can help to prevent bad driving, Ibelieve that other road safety measures should also be introduced.(269 words)题目是In cities and towns all over the world the high volume of traffic is a problem. What are the causes of this and what actions can be taken to solve this problem?9分范文:It is undoubtedly the case that urban areas around the world increasingly suffer from congestion. In this essay, I examine the reasons for this trend and suggest some practical policies the authorities could implement to reduce the level of traffic in our cities.The first step is to understand why traffic has increased in towns and cities. Broadly speaking, there are three main reasons for this. One is that cars have become more affordable for the average consumer and they are no longer a luxury item, but something that most families expect to own. A second reason is that public transport has become increasingly unreliable in recent years, not least because many bus and train services have been reduced because of the difficulty in funding them. The third reason is that society has in general become more mobile and this means more people are prepared to commute to work by car than they were before.There is almost certainly no one solution to this problem given the complexity of its causes. However, one option has to be to improve thereliability of public transport to encourage people to take the bus or the train rather than get in the car. It would also be possible to discourage people from driving to work by introducing special tariffs for using the roads, especially during peak periods. A successful example of this is the congestion charge scheme in London which has certainly reduced the level of traffic in inner-city areas.In conclusion, there are a variety of different factors that have led to rising levels of traffic in urban areas. While it may not be possible to find a complete solution, any action should probably involve encouraging greater use of public transport and making it more expensive for the motorist to drive in urban areas.范文:Many young people work on a volunteer basis, and this can only be beneficial for both the individual and society as a whole. However, I do not agree that we should therefore force all teenagers to do unpaid work.Most young people are already under enough pressure with their studies, without being given the added responsibility of working in their spare time. School is just as demanding as a full-time job, and teachers expect their students to do homework and exam revision on top of attending lessons every day. When young people do have some free time, we should encourage them to enjoy it with their friends or to spend itdoing sports and other leisure activities. They have many years of work ahead of them when they finish their studies.At the same time, I do not believe that society has anything to gain from obliging young people to do unpaid work. In fact, I would argue that it goes against the values of a free and fair society to force a group of people to do something against their will. Doing this can only lead to resentment amongst young people, who would feel that they were being used, and parents, who would not want to be told how to raise their children. Currently, nobody is forced to volunteer, and this is surely the best system.In conclusion, teenagers may choose to work for free and help others, but in my opinion we should not make this compulsory.(250 words, band 9)范文:Some people believe that we should not help people in other countries as long as there are problems in our own society. I disagree with this view because I believe that we should try to help as many people as possible.On the one hand, I accept that it is important to help our neighbours and fellow citizens. In most communities there are people who are impoverished or disadvantaged in some way. It is possible to find homeless people, for example, in even the wealthiest of cities, andfor those who are concerned about this problem, there are usually opportunities to volunteer time or give money to support these people. In the UK, people can help in a variety of ways, from donating clothing to serving free food in a soup kitchen. As the problems are on our doorstep, and there are obvious ways to help, I can understand why some people feel that we should prioritise local charity.At the same time, I believe that we have an obligation to help those who live beyond our national borders. In some countries the problems that people face are much more serious than those in our own communities, and it is often even easier to help. For example, when children are dying from curable diseases in African countries, governments and individuals in richer countries can save lives simply by paying for vaccines that already exist. A small donation to an international charity might have a much greater impact than helping in our local area.In conclusion, it is true that we cannot help everyone, but in my opinion national boundaries should not stop us from helping those who are in need.(280 words, band 9)范文:Some hobbies are relatively easy, while others present more of a challenge. Personally, I believe that both types of hobby can be fun, and Itherefore disagree with the statement that hobbies need to be difficult in order to be enjoyable.On the one hand, many people enjoy easy hobbies. One example of an activity that is easy for most people is swimming. This hobby requires very little equipment, it is simple to learn, and it is inexpensive. I remember learning to swim at my local swimming pool when I was a child, and it never felt like a demanding or challenging experience. Another hobby that I find easy and fun is photography. In my opinion, anyone can take interesting pictures without knowing too much about the technicalities of operating a camera. Despite being straightforward, taking photos is a satisfying activity.On the other hand, difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting. If an activity is more challenging, we might feel a greater sense of satisfaction when we manage to do it successfully. For example, film editing is a hobby that requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. In my case, it took me around two years before I became competent at this activity, but now I enjoy it much more than I did when I started. I believe that many hobbies give us more pleasure when we reach a higher level of performance because the results are better and the feeling of achievement is greater.In conclusion, simple hobbies can be fun and relaxing, but difficult hobbies can be equally pleasurable for different reasons.范文:In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities. However, I do not agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender in every university subject.Having the same number of men and women on all degree courses is simply unrealistic. Student numbers on any course depend on the applications that the institution receives. If a university decided to fill courses with equal numbers of males and females, it would need enough applicants of each gender. In reality, many courses are more popular with one gender than the other, and it would not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example, nursing courses tend to attract more female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these courses if fifty per cent of the places needed to go to males.Apart from the practical concerns expressed above, I also believe that it would be unfair to base admission to university courses on gender. Universities should continue to select the best candidates for each course according to their qualifications. In this way, both men and women have the same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to achieve good grades at school. If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it is surely wrong to reject her in favour of a male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications.In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it would be both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender.(265 words, band 9)科技类:Some people think that museums are getting less important, when people can have access to information on the Internet, to what extent do you agree or disagree? 有人认为博物馆不重要,我们可以在网络上获得信息(参观博物馆),是否认同?相关提问:Now, people can use Internet to see historic objects freely. People think we don’t need museum in the future. To what extend do you agree or disagree. (2010年12月4日)Some people claim that public museums and art galleries will not be needed because people can see historic objects and works of art by using a computer. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (2007年6月7日)很多人使用网络免费欣赏文物,有人认为在未来我们不再需要博物馆,是否同意?有人认为我们可以用网络欣赏文物和艺术品,博物馆和艺术馆在未来不在被需要,是否认同?思路拓展:让步段:1. 对于短时内没有时间,没有钱去博物馆和美术馆的人来说,可以先在电脑上一饱眼福,间接的欣赏也会很有乐趣的。

2思路解析这道题是一道地图,但比较少见,地图类一般考的多的都是城镇变迁这个类别,而这次则是给出了静态图,介绍了美和日本办公室的相关格局,因此很多同学会一下子不知道该怎么写。

具体写作上,时态上可以用一般现在时,文章结构上采用一个图形写一段。

可以先看个日本办公室,总体是按照部门从上到下来落座;而美的办公室更多按照功能来划分,从左到右来落座,分成功能房,员工区,管理区。

此外,要注意的是,小作文不建议学生过多的添加主观评论,比如日本人是一个压迫式的格局,美国是一个平等的格局等等。

这些都是没有必要的,措辞一定要客观,看到什么写什么即可。

3高分范文示例开始段 - 改写题目:The two diagrams illustrate the structure in a typical Japanese office compared wit h that in an American office.主体段-1:日本办公室的描述A careful analysis of the first diagram makes it clear that seats are generally arranged based on one’s title. Specifically, it is the general manager who holds the central as well as top position in the office. As to other employees, they are divided, horizontally, into different groups. Within each section, the white-collar workers are seated on either side of the table, with their section manager sitting in the front.主体段-2:美国办公室的描述及对比不同Different from what is organized in Japanese offices, the American tend to utilize the space by function. The office is separated, from left to right, into three parts. On the left side, there are four rooms for copying, storage as well as conference. Adjacent to these four rooms are a number of independent studios for employees who are seated in the middle of the office. On the right side are several rooms for section managers and the general manager. Most notably, the seat for the general manager is located in the lowest right corner, contrary to the top middle position for the manager in Japan.结尾段In summary, clear from these two pictures is the specific organization of a typical Japanese office versus that of an American. It is noticeable that the Japanese tend to arrange the space according to one’s position while the American prefer a function-based office。

France, on the other hand, had a significantly larger percentage of elderly inhabitants.In India, close to 14% of people were aged 5 or under, and each five-year age bracket above this contained an increasingly smaller proportion of the population. France’s population, by contrast, was more evenly distributed across the age ranges, with similar figures (around 7% to 8% of all people) for each five-year cohort between the ages of 0 and 40. Somewhere between 10% and 15% of all French people were aged 70 or older, but the equivalent figure for India was only 2%.Looking more closely at gender, there was a noticeably higher proportion of French women than men in every cohort from age 50 upwards. For example, almost 3% of French 70- to 75-year-olds were women, while just under 2% were men. No significant gender differences can be seen on the Indian population chart.(199 words, band 9)2. 柱状图:电子游戏The bar graph shows the global sales (in billions of dollars) of different types of digital games between 2000 and 2006.The bar chart compares the turnover in dollars from sales of video games for four different platforms, namely mobile phones, online, consoles and handheld devices, from 2000 to 2006.It is clear that sales of games for three out of the four platforms rose each year, leading to a significant rise in total global turnover over the 7-year period. Sales figures for handheld games were at least twice as high as those for any other platform in almost every year.In 2000, worldwide sales of handheld games stood at around $11 billion, while console games earned just under $6 billion. No figures are given for mobile or online games in that year. Over the next 3 years, sales of handheld video games rose by about $4 billion, but the figure for consoles decreased by $2 billion. Mobile phone and online games started to become popular, with sales reaching around $3 billion in 2003.In 2006, sales of handheld, online and mobile games reached peaks of 17, 9 and 7 billion dollars respectively. By contrast, turnover from console games dropped to its lowest point, at around $2.5 billion.(187)3. 柱状图:奥运奖牌The chart below shows the total number of Olympic medals won by twelve different countries.范文:The bar chart compares twelve countries in terms of the overall number of medals that they have won at the Olympic Games.It is clear that the USA is by far the most successful Olympic medal winning nation. It is also noticeable that the figures for gold, silver and bronze medals won by any particular country tend to be fairly similar.The USA has won a total of around 2,300 Olympic medals, including approximately 900 gold medals, 750 silver and 650 bronze. In second place on the all-time medals chart is the Soviet Union, with just over 1,000 medals. Again, the number of gold medals won by this country is slightly higher than the number of silver or bronze medals.Only four other countries - the UK, France, Germany and Italy - have won more than 500 Olympic medals, all with similar proportions of each medal colour. Apart from the USA and the Soviet Union, China is the only other country with a noticeably higher proportion of gold medals (about 200) compared to silver and bronze (about 100 each).(178 words, band 9)4. 柱状图:学习动机The charts below show the main reasons for study among students of different groups and the amount of support they received from employers.参考范文The bar charts compare students of different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported by an employer.It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.Around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The gap between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49 overwhelmingly study for interest (70%) rather than for professional reasons (less than 20%).Just over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers. By contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient, with only 30% being given time off and help with fees. The figures rise slightly for students in their forties and for those aged 50 or more.(178 words, band 9)5. 柱状图:交通事故The chart below shows numbers of incidents and injuries per 100 million passenger miles travelled (PMT) by transportation type in 2002.范文The bar chart compares the number of incidents and injuries for every 100 million passenger miles travelled on five different types of public transport in 2002.It is clear that the most incidents and injuries took place on demand-response vehicles. By contrast, commuter rail services recorded by far the lowest figures.A total of 225 incidents and 173 injuries, per 100 million passenger miles travelled, took place on demand-response transport services. These figures were nearly three times as high as those for the second highest category, bus services. There were 76 incidents and 66 people were injured on buses.Rail services experienced fewer problems. The number of incidents on light rail trains equalled the figure recorded for buses, but there were significantly fewer injuries, at only 39. Heavy rail services saw lower numbers of such events than light rail services, but commuter rail passengers were even less likely to experience problems. In fact, only 20 incidents and 17 injuries occurred on commuter trains.(165 words, band 9)6. 柱状图:各地房价The chart below shows information about changes in average house prices in five different cities between 1990 and 2002 compared with the average house prices in 1989.范文:The bar chart compares the cost of an average house in five major cities over a period of 13 years from 1989.We can see that house prices fell overall between 1990 and 1995, but most of the cities saw rising prices between 1996 and 2002. London experienced by far the greatest changes in house prices over the 13-year period.Over the 5 years after 1989, the cost of average homes in Tokyo and London dropped by around 7%, while New York house prices went down by 5%. By contrast, prices rose by approximately 2% in both Madrid and Frankfurt.Between 1996 and 2002, London house prices jumped to around 12% above the 1989 average. Homebuyers in New York also had to pay significantly more, with prices rising to 5% above the 1989 average, but homes in Tokyo remained cheaper than they were in 1989. The cost of an average home in Madrid rose by a further 2%, while prices in Frankfurt remainedstable.(165 words)7. 柱状图:日常消费The bar chart below shows money spent on consumer goods in different countries.范文:The bar chart compares consumer spending on six different items in Germany, Italy, France and Britain.It is clear that British people spent significantly more money than people in the other three countries on all six goods. Of the six items, consumers spent the most money on photographic film.People in Britain spent just over £170,000 on photographic film, which is the highest figureshown on the chart. By contrast, Germans were the lowest overall spenders, with roughly the same figures (just under £150,000) for each of the six products.The figures for spending on toys were the same in both France and Italy, at nearly £160,000. However, while French people spent more than Italians on photographic film and CDs, Italians paid out more for personal stereos, tennis racquets and perfumes. The amount spent by French people on tennis racquets, around £145,000, is the lowest figure shown on the chart.(150)8. 柱状图:教育水平The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.The three bar charts show average years of schooling, numbers of scientists and technicians, and research and development spending in developing and developed countries. Figures are given for 1980 and 1990.It is clear from the charts that the figures for developed countries are much higher than those for developing nations. Also, the charts show an overall increase in participation in education and science from 1980 to 1990.People in developing nations attended school for an average of around 3 years, with only a slight increase in years of schooling from 1980 to 1990. On the other hand, the figure for industrialised countries rose from nearly 9 years of schooling in 1980 to nearly 11 years in 1990.From 1980 to 1990, the number of scientists and technicians in industrialised countries almost doubled to about 70 per 1000 people. Spending on research and development also saw rapid growth in these countries, reaching $350 billion in 1990. By contrast, the number of science workers in developing countries remained below 20 per 1000 people, and research spending fell from about $50 billion to only $25 billion.(184 words)9. 柱状图:网聊耗时The chart below shows the amount of time that 10 to 15-year-olds spend chatting on the Internet and playing on games consoles on an average school day in the UK.IntroductionThe bar chart compares the time spent by 10 to 15-year-olds in the UK on two activities, namely chatting online and playing computer games.OverviewOverall, we can see that playing computer games is marginally more popular than chatting on the Internet. However, completely different trends can be seen if we look at the specific figures for boys and girls.Boys aged between 10 and 15 clearly favour playing on games consoles over chatting online. According to the chart, while 85% of boys play computer games every day, only 55% chat online daily. Furthermore, the majority of boys play on their consoles for more than one hour each day, and 10% do this activity for four hours or more.By contrast, girls prefer chatting online. Close to 70% of 10 to 15-year-old girls engage in online conversation each day, compared to about 50% of this cohort who play computer games. Of the girls who do play on consoles, most of them play for less than an hour, whereas most girls who chat online do so for more than one hour, and nearly 10% chat for four hours or more.(188)10. 柱状图:电话耗时The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995-2002.提纲:Introduction: rewrite the question statement in your own words.Overview: point out which category was highest in each year, which was lowest, and which saw the biggest changes.Details: compare the 3 categories in 1995, then say what happened up until 1999.Details: notice what happened to local calls from 1999 onwards, and contrast this with the other 2 categories. Finish with a comparison of the figures in 2002.范文:The bar chart compares the amount of time spent by people in the UK on three different types of phone call between 1995 and 2002.It is clear that calls made via local, fixed lines were the most popular type, in terms of overall usage, throughout the period shown. The lowest figures on the chart are for mobile calls, but this category also saw the most dramatic increase in user minutes.In 1995, people in the UK used fixed lines for a total of just over 70 billion minutes for local calls, and about half of that amount of time for national or international calls. By contrast, mobile phones were only used for around 4 billion minutes. Over the following four years, the figures for all three types of phone call increased steadily.By 1999, the amount of time spent on local calls using landlines had reached a peak at 90 billion minutes. Subsequently, the figure for this category fell, but the rise in the other two types of phone call continued. In 2002, the number of minutes of national / international landline calls passed 60 billion, while the figure for mobiles rose to around 45 billion minutes.(197 words, band 9)二、饼图(4)1. 饼图-垃圾处理The pie charts below show how dangerous waste products are dealt with in three countries.范文:The charts compare Korea, Sweden and the UK in terms of the methods used in each country to dispose of harmful waste.It is clear that in both the UK and Sweden, the majority of dangerous waste products are buried underground. By contrast, most hazardous materials in the Republic of Korea are recycled.Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that 82% of the UK’s dangerous waste is put into landfill sites. This disposal technique is used for 55% of the harmful waste in Sweden and only 22% of similar waste in Korea. The latter country recycles 69% of hazardous materials, which is far more than the other two nations.While 25% of Sweden's dangerous waste is recycled, the UK does not recycle at all. Instead, it dumps waste at sea or treats it chemically. These two methods are not employed in Korea or Sweden, which favour incineration for 9% and 20% of dangerous waste respectively.(159)2. 饼图:三地用水The pie charts below compare water usage in San Diego, California and the rest of the world.范文The pie charts give information about the water used for residential, industrial and agricultural purposes in San Diego County, California, and the world as a whole.It is noticeable that more water is consumed by homes than by industry or agriculture in the two American regions. By contrast, agriculture accounts for the vast majority of water used worldwide.In San Diego County and California State, residential water consumption accounts for 60% and 39% of total water usage. By contrast, a mere 8% of the water used globally goes to homes. The opposite trend can be seen when we look at water consumption for agriculture. This accounts for a massive 69% of global water use, but only 17% and 28% of water usage in San Diego and California respectively.Such dramatic differences are not seen when we compare the figures for industrial water use. The same proportion of water (23%) is used by industry in San Diego and worldwide, while the figure for California is 10% higher, at 33%.(168 words, band 9)3. 饼图:服务问卷The charts below show the results of a questionnaire that asked visitors to the Parkway Hotel how they rated the hotel's customer service. The same questionnaire was given to 100 guests in the years 2005 and 2010.范文The pie charts compare visitors’ responses to a survey about customer service at the Parkway Hotel in 2005 and in 2010.It is clear that overall customer satisfaction increased considerably from 2005 to 2010. While most hotel guests rated customer service as satisfactory or poor in 2005, a clear majority described the hotel’s service as good or excellent in 2010.Looking at the positive responses first, in 2005 only 5% of the hotel’s visitors rated its customer service as excellent, but this figure rose to 28% in 2010. Furthermore, while only 14% of guests described customer service in the hotel as good in 2005, almost three times as many people gave this rating five years later.With regard to negative feedback, the proportion of guests who considered the hotel’s customer service to be poor fell from 21% in 2005 to only 12% in 2010. Similarly, the proportion of people who thought customer service was very poor dropped from 15% to only 4% over the 5-year period. Finally, a fall in the number of ‘satisfactory’ ratings in 2010 reflects the fact that more people gave positive responses to the survey in that year.(193 words, band 9)4. 饼图:游客分析The chart below shows the results of a survey of people who visited four types of tourist attraction in Britain in the year 1999.范文The pie chart compares figures for visitors to four categories of tourist attraction and to five different theme parks in Britain in 1999.It is clear that theme parks and museums / galleries were the two most popular types of tourist attraction in that year. Blackpool Pleasure Beach received by far the highest proportion of visitors in the theme park sector.Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that 38% of the surveyed visitors went to a theme park, and 37% of them went to a museum or gallery. By contrast, historic houses and monuments were visited by only 16% of the sample, while wildlife parks and zoos were the least popular of the four types of tourist attraction, with only 9% of visitors.In the theme park sector, almost half of the people surveyed (47%) had been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Alton Towers was the second most popular amusement park, with 17% of the sample, followed by Pleasureland in Southport, with 16%. Finally, Chessington World of Adventures and Legoland Windsor had each welcomed 10% of the surveyed visitors.(181 words, band 9)三、流程图(8)1. 流程图:房屋保护The diagrams below show how houses can be protected in areas which are prone to flooding.范文The diagrams compare two different methods of defence for homes which are at risk of being flooded.The key difference between the diagrams is that they show flood protection with and without a stopbank. In either case, the at-risk home is raised on stilts above ground level.The first diagram shows how a stopbank acts as a flood barrier to stop river water from flooding homes. The stopbank is a small mound of land next to the river that is higher than the 100-year flood level, and prevents the river from bursting its banks. Nearby houses can be built on stilts to prevent flooding from rainwater, and a floodgate beneath the stopbank can be opened to allow this ‘ponding’ to drain off into the river.When there is no stopbank, as shown in the second diagram, there will be nothing to stop the river from flooding. In this case, the solution is to put buildings on stilts. The height of the stilts is measured so that the floor of the house is 300mm above the 100-year flood level. This measurement is called the ‘freeboard’.(184)2. 流程图:太阳能发电The diagram below shows how solar panels can be used to provide electricity for domestic use.范文The picture illustrates the process of producing electricity in a home using solar panels.It is clear that there are five distinct stages in this process, beginning with the capture of energy from sunlight. The final two steps show how domestic electricity is connected to the external power supply.At the first stage in the process, solar panels on the roof of a normal house take energy from the sun and convert it into DC current. Next, this current is passed to an inverter, which changes it to AC current and regulates the supply of electricity. At stage three, electricity is supplied to the home from an electrical panel.At the fourth step shown on the diagram, a utility meter in the home is responsible for sending any extra electric power outside the house into the grid. Finally, if the solar panels do not provide enough energy for the household, electricity will flow from the utility grid into the home through the meter.(163)3. 流程图:废纸回收9. The chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling.The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper.At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill.Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product: usable paper.(160 words, band 9)4. 流程图:蜜蜂一生The diagram shows the life cycle of the honey bee. Two things to consider are:范文The diagram illustrates the various stages in the life of a honey bee. We can see that the complete life cycle lasts between 34 and 36 days. It is also noticeable that there are five main stages in the development of the honey bee, from egg to mature adult insect.The life cycle of the honey bee begins when the female adult lays an egg; the female typically lays one or two eggs every 3 days. Between 9 and 10 days later, each egg hatches and the immature insect, or nymph, appears.During the third stage of the life cycle, the nymph grows in size and sheds its skin three times. This moulting first takes place 5 days after the egg hatches, then 7 days later, and again another 9 days later. After a total of 30 to 31 days from the start of the cycle, the young adult honey bee emerges from its final moulting stage, and in the space of only 4 days it reaches full maturity.(169 words, band 9)5. 流程图:房屋设计The diagrams below show some principles of house design for cool and for warm climates.范文:The diagrams show how house designs differ according to climate.The most noticeable difference between houses designed for cool and warm climates is in the shape of the roof. The designs also differ with regard to the windows and the use of insulation.We can see that the cool climate house has a high-angled roof, which allows sunlight to enter through the window. By contrast, the roof of the warm climate house has a peak in the middle and roof overhangs to shade the windows. Insulation and thermal building materials are used in cool climates to reduce heat loss, whereas insulation and reflective materials are used to keep the heat out in warm climates.Finally, the cool climate house has one window which faces the direction of the sun, while the warm climate house has windows on two sides which are shaded from the sun. By opening the two windows at night, the house designed for warm climates can be ventilated.(162 words, band 9)6. 流程图:水循环The diagram below shows the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.范文The picture illustrates the way in which water passes from ocean to air to land during the natural process known as the water cycle.Three main stages are shown on the diagram. Ocean water evaporates, falls as rain, and eventually runs back into the oceans again.Beginning at the evaporation stage, we can see that 80% of water vapour in the air comes from the oceans. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate, and water vapour condenses to form clouds. At the second stage, labelled ‘precipitation’ on the diagram, water falls as rain or snow.At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take various paths. Some of it may fall into lakes or return to the oceans via ‘surface runoff’. Otherwise, rainwater may filter through the ground, reaching the impervious layer of the earth. Salt water intrusion is shown to take place just before groundwater passes into the oceans to complete the cycle.(156 words, band 9)7. 流程图:天气预报The diagram shows the process of weather forecast by Australian Bureau of Meteorology范文The figure illustrates the process used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to forecast the weather.There are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of information about the weather. This information is then analysed, prepared for presentation, and finally broadcast to the public.Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of collecting weather data and three ways of analysing it. Firstly, incoming information can be received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can also be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Secondly, incoming information may be collected directly by radar and analysed on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally, drifting buoys also receive data which can be shown on a synoptic chart.At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers. Finally, itis delivered to the public on television, on the radio, or as a recorded telephone announcement.(170)8. 流程图:三文鱼一生The diagram below shows the life cycle of a salmon, from egg to adult fish.范文The diagram illustrates the stages in the life of the salmon, from birth to maturity.It is clear that there are six* main stages as the salmon develops from egg to mature adult. We can also see that salmon spend time in three distinct locations during the cycle, moving from river to estuary to ocean and then back upstream.Salmon begin their lives in rivers where the adult fish lay and incubate their eggs. After emerging from eggs, the young salmon spend the next stage of their lives being reared in freshwater areas. Then, at some point in their development, the fish swim downstream to river estuaries where rearing continues.。

下面小编给大家带来剑桥雅思14test4写作真题范文解析。

剑桥雅思14Test4雅思写作Task1真题及范文解析TEST 4WRITING TASK 1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The plans below show a pubic park when it first opened in 1920 and the same park today.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.Write at least 150 words.【答案解析】这是一道地点变迁类地图题,需要分析同一个公园在不同的时间(1920年和现在)的整体布局变化。

地点变迁类地图题的整体写作顺序为第一张地图按照图片内容完整描述,从第二张图片开始重点描述图片之间的差异,即变化了的布局,没有发生变化的内容无需重点呈现。

在这道题目中,整体分析顺序为自西向东(图片从左往右),在大方向一致的前提下,需要关注1920年公园的西边(左边)为环状布局,音乐家演出台被四周的观众坐席和玫瑰花园环绕。

中部的同样为对称布局,喷泉的北边和南边是对应的两个入口。

公园现在的布局中,类似的对称结构也可以在中部观察到,玫瑰花园四周被座位环绕,北边和南边的入口不变。

The maps show changes in the layout of the Grange Park, which stands between the Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street in 1920 and today.In 1920, a stage for musicians could be observed in the center of the western area, with two rose gardens built to itsnorth and south respectively. There were both two seats areas facilitated on each side of the two rose gardens, surrounding the stage altogether. In the middle of the park, a fountain could be found, while two entrances on the Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street located to the north and south of the fountain. In the eastern area, another rose garden stood next to the entrance on the Arnold Avenue, opposing to a Glasshouse in the south. There was a pond for water plants standing in the northeastern corner of the park, next to which another seats area was founded.At present, several changes have taken place. The stage for musician is transformed into an amphitheater for concerts, while four seats areas and the rose garden in the south are all moved to the center of the park, with four seats areas surrounding the garden. Another rose garden at the east of the entrance is changed into a café, while the pond for water plants is transformed into a children’s play area. A water feature area replaces the glasshouse in the southern direction. What is more, an entrance to the underground car park is established on the original site of seats next to the pond.剑桥雅思14test4写作task2范文解析:个体经营的优缺点WRITING TASK 2You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organization.Why might this be the case?What could be the disadvantages of being self-employed?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.【答案解析】这是一道变体的问题解决类大作文。

剑桥雅思7写作解析test4

剑桥雅思7写作解析test4小作文题目:The pie charts below show units of electricity production by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000 范文:The charts compare the sources of electricity in Australia and France in the years 1980 and 2000. Between these years electricity production almost doubled, rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia, and from 90 to 180 units in France.In 1980 Australia used coal as the main electricity source (50 units) and the remainder was produced from natural gas, hydro power (each producing 20 units) and oil (which produced only 10 units). By 2000, coal had become the fuel for more than 75% of electricity produced and only hydro continued to be another significant source supplying approximately 20%.In contrast, France used coal as a source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by natural gas. The remaining 40 units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power, with hydro contributing only 5 units. But by 2000 nuclear power, which was not used at all Australia, had developed into the main source, producing almost 75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50 units. Other sources were no longer significant.Overall, it is clear that by 2000 these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.大作文题目:You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledgeand skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer.What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.范文:Today, many students attend university to acquire skills and knowledge that are intended to prepare them for future employment.This trend is understandable. After all, in this era of financial turmoil and massive layoffs,the majority of young people view future job security as one of their most pressing priorities in life.Also, across the world, students, tuition costs are rising each year, despite the tumultuous economic meltdown. These days,it is no exaggeration to say that pursuing higher education is very much like making a major investment; thus,university students and their parents tend to expect reasonable rates of return, which can be, to some extent, quantified by the graduates,starting salaries and benefits.The societal demand is there as well. Being bogged down in stagnancy or recessions,societies are hoping for more productive and more responsive workforces to haul them out of the quagmire.In spite of all these,I wish to point out that merely equipping students with job skills may defeat the very purposeof universities. It is true that higher education should meet the social demand for a more powerful workforce. Yet realistically,it would be hard for university administrators and faculty to identify accurately what technical skills and knowledge will be needed three or four years from now, when most technologies have been updating themselves on a daily basis.What will also be at risk is students’ capacity to innovate as true innovations require thorough understanding of the fundamental theories guiding their predecessors.The main function of a university in this age of crisis,therefore,should be to build core curricula that stress the cultivation of employment skills and at the same time,to provide students with elective courses on theoretical knowledge about their field of study, which can facilitate their grasp of the employment skills and meanwhile ensure their capacity to apply those skills innovatively.。

2021年雅思考试大作文 7 分范文及解析:司机每年都要考驾照
观点类大作文,交通类话题
Some people think that the best way to improve road safety is to make drivers retake driving test every year. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
题目来源:2021 年 5 月 8 日大陆雅思大作文
1、题目大意
有人说改善道路安全的最好办法是让司机每年都重新考驾照。

同意反对?
2、思路解析
这是一道观点类大作文,属于交通类话题,审题的时候要注意的是,这道题目中的关键词是 the best way,这是一种绝对化的表达。

因此,建议取反对的立场,并在论证中提出更有效的办法即可。

题目中提出让司机每年重新考驾照的目的是为了提高道路安全,那么月半鸭就来和大家一看下,提高道路安全都有些什么办法,以及司机每年考驾照的好处和问题是什么。

首先来看,哪些问题会造成道路安全问题,主要有机动车、非机动车和行人不遵守交规,司机驾驶技术不熟练和误操作,道路设计不合理或不完善等。

那么针对这些问题,所能用的解决办法其实是不同的。

针对司机缺乏遵守交规意识和技术不佳,可以通过每年考试来提高,但这也会有三个问题,一是每年组织考试的资金成本和时间成本很高;二是现在许多驾照考试并不贴合实际驾驶路况,导致司机即使通过考试也没法合理应对突发情况避免车祸;三是这并不能解决其他问题引发的道路安全(也就是为什么这不是最好的办法)。

针对道路设计问题,则应该设立道路标识、人行道、交通指示灯、监控探头等,完善基础建设,以及通过设立隔离栏做到人、非机动车和机动车分离,减少安全风险。

3、提纲
4、高分范文示例
There is an assumption that the key panacea to reduce accidents on roads is to force drivers to retake driving tests every year. Personally, I would say it is an oversimplified conclusion due to the irrelevant connection between road safety and people’s way of driving.
Indeed, it is not difficult to understand why reassessing drivers’ qualification annually is deemed pivotal to the reduce risks of road transport. Those who think in this way opt to attribute the majority of traffic accidents to drivers’ incapacity, whether these be their ignorance of traffic laws or their unqualified driving skills, both of which are recognized as major culprits of tricky conditions on roads. In this respect, some people conclude that a compulsory reassessment of drivers is the fundamental solution to mitigate traffic incidents.
Plausible though the logic seems, it does not necessarily mean a safer transport environment hinges exclusively on drivers retaking tests annually.
The problem with the above reasoning is that the conclusion is based a generalized reason –the unsafe transport environment is not the simple consequence of unqualified drivers, whereas it is the outcome of complex causal configurations that act conjointly. For example, the underdeveloped infrastructure also contributes to the tricky conditions, be it insufficient road signs, pedestrian zones or traffic lights. To tackle these problems, alternative options seem be more effective, for example by allocating more pedestrian zones to separate pedestrians from vehicles, or constructing more traffic light systems coupled with surveillance camera to deter people from offending traffic laws.
From what has been discussed, it is my conclusion therefore, road safety is not correlated solely with our way of driving, while it is a conundrum that need multiple measures.
