2019年4月27日雅思大作文题目：应该保存哪些老建筑？利弊是什么？
Some people think that certain old buildings are more worth preserving than the other ones. Which types of old buildings should be preserved? Do you think that the advantages of preserving these old buildings outweigh the disadvantages?
解析&审题
本题的关键词是老建筑。这个话题在2017年12月4日出现过，问的是“为什么需要保护老建筑”。此外，2018年2月3日的考试也与本话题相关，问的是“应该保护老建筑还是应该建新房子和道路？”本次考试要求讨论的题目是“哪些老建筑需要保护以及保护老建筑的优劣势”。可见，这几次考试题目既有交叉之处，又各有侧重。
按照常规想法，我们一般会认为那些具有历史文化价值的老建筑应该保留下来，这既是我们历史文化的一部分，也可以作为旅游资源加以使用。但是有些老建筑可能已经对城市安全产生了影响，那就应该拆除重建。因此，原则上我们应该保留那些具有历史价值的老建筑，但也要根据具体情况决定是否应该保留它们。
以下是高分范文，大家可认真阅读，看老师是如何把以上思路落实到具体文字表达的。
老师笔记
It is important to maintain certain old buildings in view of their advantages to societies. Old buildings such as museums, palaces, religious constructions, and ancient structures and sites are a part of a nation’s history. Societies have long sought to protect and preserve these cultural heritage for considerations ranging from historical research to public education to tourist attractions and to the desire to reinforce a sense of national identity. People have only to cast their eyes on an old building to feel the presence of the past and the spirit of a place, as if it were the very reflection of history. In this respect, demolishing an old building of historic value is no different from destroying a piece of history.
鉴于某些旧建筑对社会的好处，对它们进行维护是很重要的。博物馆、宫殿、宗教建筑、古建筑和遗址等老建筑是一个国家历史的一部分。长期以来，社会一直在寻求保护和保存这些文化遗产，原因从历史研究到公共教育，再到旅游景点，再到增强民族认同感的愿望，不一而足。人们只需把目光投向一座古老的建筑，就可以感受到过去的存在和一个地方的精神，就好像它是历史的镜像。在这方面，拆除具有历史价值的旧建筑与摧毁一段历史并无不同。
解析
（1） 本段开门见山，回答题目中的个问题，提出那些对社会有好处的老建筑应该保存。随后列举这类老建筑，然后列举原因。
（2） In view of 鉴于；因为
（3） Cultural heritage 文化遗产
（4） Range from ... to... 从......到......的范围内
（5） Reinforce 强化；加强
（6） National identity 国家身份
（7） Demolish 拆除；推倒
Nevertheless, sometimes it is better to knock down certain types of old buildings that are less worth preserving. Although this might seem “morally” wrong, actually it is the right choice to do so. When a historic structure has become a threat to society, for example, having it removed can actually add more value to the area around it. In such cases, of course, the land cleared should be used beneficially for the progress of society. This change could attract property investors to that area that might have otherwise been avoided. Furthermore, it would often cost a lot more to restore a destroyed old building than to replace it with a new one.
然而，有时拆除某些不太值得保留的旧建筑会更好。虽然这看起来“道德上”是错误的，但实际上是正确的选择。例如，当一个历史建筑对社会构成威胁时，移除它实际上可以为它周围的地区增加更多的价值。当然，在这种情况下，被清理的土地应该被用来使之有利于社会进步。这一变化可能会吸引房地产投资者进入他们本来会避免的领域。此外，修复一座被摧毁的旧建筑通常要比用一座新建筑替换它花费更多。
解析
（1） 本段转换角度，讨论保存老建筑的弊端：对社会构成安全问题；阻止地方增值；花费巨大。
（2） Knock down 拆除
（3） Add value to... 为......增加价值
（4） Replace ... with... 用......来代替......
In the big picture of pros and cons, it should be made a legal rule to protect and preserve old buildings of historic value. But then, there should as well be a few exceptions to the rule.
在正反两面的局面中，应该制定法律规则来保护和保存具有历史价值的老建筑。但是，也应该允许规则之外存在一些例外。
解析
（1） 本段为结论，并重申自己的观点。
（2） Pros and cons 赞同和反对
（3） A few exceptions to the rule 规则的几个例外

2019年5月23日雅思大作文题目：为何青少年犯罪越来越多？怎样惩罚他们?In many parts of the world children and teenagers are committing more crimes,what are the causes? How should these young criminals be punished?
解析&审题
本题涉及犯罪，重复的是2014年8月2日的考题，先要求考生分析原因，然后提出解决办法。
犯罪话题在雅思考试中出现比较频繁，大家应该给予重视。近年来雅思考试中的“犯罪”话题主要集中在犯罪的原因，如何减少犯罪，惩罚罪犯的方法等。
2013/11/9, 2015/4/25, 2017/5/6 ：Young people who commit serious crimes, such as a robbery or a violent attack should be punished in the same way as adults. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （犯重罪的青年是否得到与成年人一样的惩罚？）
2014/11/8：Some think most crime is the result of circumstances e.g. poverty and other social problems. Other believe that most crime is caused by people who are bad by nature. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.（犯罪是由于环境所致，还是天性所致？）
2015/8/8, 2018/7/28: Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later. Some people think that they are the best people to talk to school students the danger of committing a crime. Do you agree or disagree? (改造后的犯人是教育孩子的人选吗？）
2018/3/3：In many countries, prison is the most common solution to the problem of crime. However, another effective way is to provide people with higher education so that they can not become criminals. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （关于犯罪问题，监狱和教育哪个更有效？
2018/11/3：It is shown that many criminals have a low level of education. Some people argue that the best way to reduce crime is to educate criminals in prison to help them find jobs when they leave prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （减少犯罪的方式是提高教育水平吗？
年轻人犯罪越来越多，原因何在？这里应结合当代社会给年轻人造成的影响来分析。比如，贫富差距的增大，单亲家庭的增多，吸毒者越来越等，这些无疑都会导致年轻人犯罪率的提高。至于解决办法，无非是教育改造和监狱两种方法，可以认为应该结合这两种办法，或者取一种立场，认为教育比监狱更有效。

01
Many countries are currently witnessing a rising criminal activity among people under the age of 18. There may be three reasons for this case, and the methods to punish children and teenagers should focus more on rehabilitation than prison.
许多国家目前都出现了18岁以下人口犯罪活动的增加。这种情况可能有三个原因，惩罚儿童和青少年的方法应该是更多关注的是教化而不是监狱。
解析
（1）本段引出话题，明确即将分析三个原因，并提出自己关于如何惩罚青少年罪犯的观点。
（2）Currently 目前
（3）Witness 见证；目睹
（4）Rehabilitation 恢复；教化
02
Firstly, poverty could turn an immature child into a criminal. As the gap between the poor and the rich widens, young people may start looking for wrong ways to bridge the gap when they find their friends are richer. Secondly, with the number of broken families going up, more and more neglected children have trouble with the law, as the lack of love and affection from the family makes them angry and violent. As a result, their negative energy might find an outlet in committing crimes of all types. Finally, not only taking drugs is itself a crime but it may also lead to various other crimes that young people never intended to commit in the first place.
首先，贫困会把一个不成熟的孩子变成罪犯。随着贫富差距的增大，当年轻人发现他们的朋友更富有时，就可能会开始寻找错误的方法来弥补这一差距。第二，随着破碎家庭数量的增加，越来越多的被忽视的孩子触犯法律，因为缺乏家庭的爱和感情使他们很愤怒、很暴力。因此，他们的消极精力可能会在各种犯罪中找到出路。最后，吸毒本身不仅是一种犯罪，而且还可能导致各种年轻人本来并没有打算犯的其他罪行。
解析
（1）Immature 不成熟的
（2）Turn..into...将......变成......
（3）The gap between the poor and the rich 贫富差距
（4）Bridge the gap 弥补差距
（5）To have trouble with the law 触犯法律
（6）Find an outlet in...在......找到出口
（7）In the first place 首先；一开始
03
How should society punish young lawbreakers in order to prevent or reduce their criminal activity? On the one hand, severe punishment like locking up children in adult jails could have a deterrence effect by discouraging young criminals from committing new crimes. On the other hand, harsh punishments may have a negative impact on young offenders if they are incarcerated in the same way as adults. This could weaken young criminals’ already fragile links with society, nourish their negative interpersonal networking, and increase their likelihood of future criminal activity. Therefore, rehabilitation is probably a better answer than prison because it provides an environment that is more conductive to education.
社会应如何惩罚年轻的违法者，以防止或减少他们的犯罪活动？一方面，严厉的惩罚，如将孩子关进成人监狱，可以阻止他们犯下新的罪行，从而产生威慑作用。另一方面，如果青少年罪犯与成年人一样被监禁，严厉的惩罚可能会对他们产生负面影响。这可能削弱青少年罪犯与社会本已脆弱的联系，滋养他们消极的人际网络，增加他们今后犯罪活动的可能性。因此，教化可能是一个比监狱更好的答案，因为它提供了一个更有利于教育的环境。
解析
（1）lock up 关起来
（2）Deterrence effect 威慑效果
（3）Incarcerate 关押
（4）Fragile 脆弱的
（5）Nourish 滋养
（6）Interpersonal networking 人际网络
（7）Likelihood 可能性
（8）Be conductive to... 对......有益的
