2018年11月1日雅思大作文题目

Public transport should be funded by the government so that it can be free for the people who use it. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.



解析&审题

2017年1月12日的雅思考题要求考生就“为了降低交通阻塞，单位提供预约公共交通是的办法”这个说法进行论证。也许有的考生写过这个题目，但本次考试与2017年1月12日的题目还是有不小的区别。虽然两者都在谈预约公共交通问题，但2017年的题目是明确要求与“交通阻塞”问题联系起来，考生应该回答“预约公共交通到底是不是解决交通阻塞的最有效办法”，而本题则没有这样的联系，因此考生可以在更广阔的范围论述“预约公共交通”的利与弊。

预约公共交通当然可以让乘客节约钱（这是最基础的物质方面），另外可能让很多人不再开自己的车，这就有可能改善交通状况和环境，同时减少道路维修方面的工作，这些都是好的地方，但坏处也是很容易想到的，比如：单位把钱投给了预约交通，就没钱投给教育、医疗等领域了（这是单位投资类话题可以经常使用的观点），此外，预约交通不一定能有效改善交通和环境问题，因为交通预约了，很多原本不打算出行的人也都出行了，其结果是造成更坏的交通问题。



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01

Public transit is a critical part of a modern country’s mass transportation network. Should it be free? It is easy to say that the government must do its best to support public transport, but it is difficult to make public transport completely free.



公共交通是现代国家大众运输网络的重要组成部分。它应该是预约的吗？单位必须尽力支持公共交通，这个说法没有问题，但要使公共交通完全自由是困难的。



解析

（1） 先提出话题（public transport），然后自问自答，提出自己的观点（单位应该全力支持公共交通，但全预约则很难）。

（2） critical 关键的；重要的

（3） mass 大众（的）



02

There are mainly three reasons why some people say that public transport should be made free. Firstly, free transport will benefit the regularcommuters, especially those whose financial condition does not allow them to spend a lot on transport. Secondly, it will encourage people out of their cars and will therefore help reduce the serious traffic jams and air pollution in the ever expanding cities. Finally, free public transport would actually save the government money spent in maintaining the roads because more people would use it instead of driving.



人们认为公共交通应该预约，主要有三个原因。首先，预约的交通将有利于每天上下班的乘客，尤其是那些经济条件不允许他们在运输花费大量的人。其次，它会鼓励人们离开他们的汽车，因此将有助于减少日益扩大的城市中的严重的交通拥堵和空气污染。最后，预约公共交通实际上可以节省单位花在维护道路上的钱，因为更多的人会使用公共交通，而不是自己开车。

解析

（1） 本段主要论述预约公共交通的三条理由：给人们节约钱；解决拥堵和污染问题；节约道路维护费用。

（2） commuter 每天乘车上下班的人

（3） the ever expanding cities 不断扩大的城市

（4） maintain 维护



03

However, the idea of free public transport does not work as healthily as we might have expected. In the first place, it will put a heavy burden on the government’s budget so that the government will have to cut down on its investment in such sectors as education, medical care, technological development, to mention just the three. Meanwhile, exactly how much the free public transport can help with the traffic and environment is alsodoubtful. When public transport goes free, many people who otherwise would stay at home may choose to go out by taking the free transport. This will greatly undo the benefits brought by the reduced number of private cars on road and may even paralyze the public transport system, especially during the rush hours. Beijing, for instance, found itself in great traffic trouble when the city announced to provide free metro service for its citizens during the Asian Games in 1990. Then in 2008 when Beijing was hosting the Olympic Games, the city never made the similar attempt.



然而，预约公共交通的想法并不像我们预期的那样健康运作。首先，它将给单位的预算带来沉重的负担，因此单位将不得不削减在教育、医疗、技术开发等部门的投资。同时，预约公共交通对交通和环境有多大帮助也是值得怀疑的。当公共交通预约的时候，许多本来会留在家里的人可能选择乘坐预约的交通工具出行。这将大大削弱路上私家车数量减少带来的好处，甚至可能使公共交通系统瘫痪，尤其是在交通高峰期。例如，北京在1990年亚运会期间宣布向市民提供预约地铁服务时，就陷入了严重的交通问题。在2008北京举办奥运会的时候，这个城市从未做出过类似的尝试。



解析

（1） 本段主要论述预约公共交通的两大坏处：首先给单位带来预算压力；其次，它不仅不能解决交通阻塞和环境问题，反而可能加剧这些问题。为了说明第二个观点，本范文使用了举例法：对比北京1990年亚运会和2008年奥运会的相关政策。

（2） healthily 健康地

（3） budget 预算

（4） cut down on… 削减……

（5） sector 领域

（6） doubtful 值得怀疑的

（7） undo 抵消

（8） paralyze 使瘫痪



04

In sum, free public transport is a good idea, but it is not always good in practice. For the sake of traffic and environment, the government, rather than providing funds for free public transport, should construct more roads and introduce stricter rules of car ownership and use.



总而言之，预约公共交通是个好主意，但在实践中并不总是好的。为了交通和环境，单位不应该为预约公共交通提供资金，而应该建设更多的道路，并引入更严格的汽车拥有和使用的规则。



解析

（1） 总结前面的主要观点，并提出建议。

（2） in practice 实践中

（3） for the sake of 为了

（4） construct 修建

（5） introduce 介绍，引进

（6） ownership 拥有权

雅思大作文题目



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?



解析&审题

11月3日的考题与犯罪有关。犯罪题材一直都是雅思写作考试的重点之一，每年都会出现4-5次，请各位烤鸭务必重视这个题材。以往考过的犯罪题材包括犯罪的原因，如何减少犯罪，青少年犯罪的惩罚等。



本次涉及减少犯罪的办法。题目中提出一个观点，即加强犯人的教育，让他们出狱后能够找到工作，这就是减少犯罪的办法。对这类“办法”的题目，唐老师认为的策略就是双边讨论，首先承认题目中提出的办法是有效的，然后再指出这个办法的缺陷，提出它应该不是的办法，还存在其他更好的办法。本题提出加强犯人教育这个办法，其前提是很多犯人的教育水平很低。就本题而言，我们应该不会去反对这个前提，而是承认犯人的教育水平很低，并在此基础上讨论教育是不是的办法。那么，我们首先承认教育可以帮助犯人出狱后找到好工作，然后提出，犯人能够找到好工作也不一定确保犯罪率降低。这样就否认了教育犯人是降低犯罪的办法。



以下是唐老师的高分范文，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01

Because many inmates in prison do not have formal education and have not ever had a decent job before, it is believed that the best way to reduce crime is to educate them so they can find employment after release. However, there are both good news and bad news about the value of prison education.



由于监狱中的许多囚犯没有受过正规教育，也从未有过体面的工作，因此人们认为减少犯罪的办法是教育他们，使他们释放后能够找到工作。然而，监狱教育的价值既有也有坏消息。



解析

（1） 本段先重述题目观点，并给出自己的判断，表明接下来文章做双边讨论。

（2） inmate 监狱中的囚犯

（3） a decent job 一份体面的工作

（4） employment 工作；就业

（5） release 释放（n. & v.）



02

There is evidence that educating criminals in prison does work to some extent, for it can help them secure a good job after being set free and return to normal life as soon as possible. In looking across the related statistics, the chances of finding employment are about 10 percent higher among prisoners who have participated in either academic or vocational education programs than those who have not. Education, therefore, remains an important means to ensure that inmates are prepared for the challenges in workplaces.



有证据表明，在监狱里教育罪犯在某种程度上是有效的，因为这可以帮助他们在获释后找到一份好工作，并尽快恢复正常生活。相关统计资料显示，参加过学术或职业教育项目的囚犯的就业机会比未参加的囚犯高出约10%。因此，教育一直都是确保囚犯为迎接工作场所的挑战做好准备的重要手段。

解析

（1） 本段主要论述监狱里的教育项目的确可以帮助罪犯出狱后找到工作。本段论述中使用的是数据法，也就是提供数据来支持自己的观点。

（2） evidence 证据

（3） secure 活得（v.）；安全的（adj.）

（4） statistics 数据

（5） participate in 参加

（6） vocational 职业的

（7） ensure 确保



03



However, skeptics claim that in practice education behind bars may be more a romantic idea than an effective solution to the growing crime rate. It must be made clear that the point is not against correctional education programs, considering that most criminals are under-educated. Rather, the point is that sometimes prison education produces nothing more than “better-educated criminals,” who may become even more dangerous. These days, the violent crime rate keeps soaring up, which is a clear indication that prison education is not really working well. The value of prison education, therefore, must not be over-exaggerated, though it does improve the prospect of employment for the former prisoners.



然而，怀疑论者声称，在实践中，监狱中的教育可能更多地是一个浪漫的想法，而不是一个不断上升犯罪率的解决办法。必须清楚地表明，这里并不是在反对补救性的教育项目，因为大多数罪犯受教育程度的确是很低的。这里的要点是，有时监狱教育只会产生“受过良好教育的罪犯”，他们可能变得更危险。最近，暴力犯罪率不断上升，这清楚地表明监狱教育并没有起到很大作用。因此，监狱教育的价值虽然这确实改善了前囚犯的就业前景，但不要过分夸大。



解析

（1） 本段主要论述监狱的教育并一定能降低犯罪率，反而可能让罪犯变得更加危险。

（2） skeptics 怀疑论者

（3） education behind bars 监狱里的教育

（4） crime rate 犯罪率

（5） correctional 补救性的

（6） soar up 快速上升

（7） exaggerate 夸张

（8） prospect 前景



04

To sum up, it pays to educate inmates and prepare them for job opportunities. Whether education in prisons is the best way to reduce crimedepends on the way those inmates see the education they receive. Good things often happen, but probably not as often as justice officials hope.



总之，对囚犯进行教育并使他们为就业机会做好准备是值得的。监狱里的教育是不是减少犯罪的方法，取决于囚犯们对教育的看法。好的结果经常发生，但可能不像司法官员所希望的那样频繁。



解析

（1） 总结前面的主要观点，包括监狱教育的好处和局限。

（2） it pays to do... 做......是值得的

（3） depend on 取决于

（4） justice official 司法官员

雅思大作文题目



Nowadays, many employers think that social skills are as important as good qualifications for employing people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?



解析&审题



11月10日的考题是一个旧题，重复的是2012年1月14日的考题，不过由于过于久远，想必很多同学都没有复习到。但这个题目的问题，我们多数同学都应该思考过，即到底文凭重要，还是社交能力重要？



就这个问题，我们的思考方向依然是三种：

A. 双边讨论：认为两者都很重要

B. 一边倒讨论：只认为文凭更重要，或社交能力更重要

C. 批判思维：对某些工作而言，文凭更重要，而对其他工作而言，社交能力更重要。



考生可以在以上思维方式中任选一个进行写作。



以下是唐老师的高分范文。本范文中，唐老师遵从主流意见，认为文凭和社交能力都重要。本题还应注意的是，要结合“招聘”来讨论问题。唐老师认为，在招聘的时候，文凭很重要，因为文凭背后代表的是求职者具有某种能力，而没有文凭，应聘者可能连面试的机会都得不到；同时，社交能力也很重要，因为这种能力意味着求职者可以和各种人和谐快乐地相处，从而提高工作效率。



请大家认真阅读范文，看唐老师是如何把以上思路落实到具体文字表达的。



老师笔记01



It is important for job seekers to highlight both their professional qualifications and social skills. Employers are looking to hire those who have the right mix of professional qualifications as hard skills and social skills as soft skills.



对于求职者来说，强调他们的专业资格和社交技能是很重要的，雇主们希望雇佣那些兼有专业资质硬技能和社交能力软技能的人。



解析

（1） 本段开门见山，直接表明观点，即专业资质和社交能力同等重要。本作文采取双边讨论的结构。重要的是如何分别论述专业资质和社交能力的重要性。

（2） highlight 高亮；强调

（3） professional 专业的；职业的

（4） look to do... 希望做......

（5） mix 混合



02

On the one hand, hard skills are most important to any job, and theexpertise required to do a job is always listed in job postings and job descriptions. That is why those job seekers with perfect certifications and licenses are preferred by their potential employers, for they indicate that their owners possess the sought-after knowledge and abilities.Without them, landing an interview or even getting past applicant tracking systems will become next to impossible. After all, in the job market, nothing can beat the importance of hard skills.



一方面，硬技能对任何工作来说都是最重要的，做一项工作所需的专业知识总是列在职位公告和职务说明中。这就是为什么那些拥有完美证书和执照的求职者受潜在雇主所青睐，因为这些证书和执照表明拥有它们的人具有急需的知识和能力。没有它们，获得面试机会，甚至通过求职者的跟踪系统都将变得几乎不可能。毕竟，在就业市场上，没有什么比硬技能更重要的了。

解析

（1） 本段主要论述求职中工作技能的重要性：求职者必须拥有证明其具有某种工作技能的证书和执照。

（2） expertise 专业知识

（3） job description 职位描述

（4） potential 潜在的

（5） sought-after 急需的

（6） next to impossible 几乎不可能

（7） nothing can beat the importance of... 没有什么比......更为重要



03

Soft skills, on the other hand, are emotional abilities that are useful for an individual to stand out among other job applicants. While hard skills can be learned through proper training, soft skills are harder to develop. And thispartly explains why soft skills are extremely valuable these days. Indeed, such emotional traits are so valuable that almost every employer looks for job candidates who are skilled in identifying emotions, using emotions, andregulating emotions. With good soft skills, one is able to connect emotionally with his/her co-workers, clients and superiors as one will look and feel more comfortable and therefore more confident and efficient in job situations.



另一方面，软技能这种情感能力也有用，可以让人从其他求职者中脱颖而出。硬技能可以通过适当的训练来学习，而软技能培养起来要更难。这在一定程度上解释了为什么现在软技能非常有价值。事实上，这些情感特质是如此宝贵，以至于几乎每个雇主都在寻找那些擅长识别情绪，运用情绪，调节情绪的求职者。有良好的软技能，一个人能够和他/她的同事、客户和上级建立感情上的联系，因为在工作环境中，这样的人看起来，也会感觉更舒服，因而也更有信心和效率。



解析

（1） 本段主要论述社交能力的重要性。首先定义社交能力，然后论述它为什么重要。

（2） stand out 突出

（3） partly 部分地

（4） valuable 有价值的

（5） identify 识别

（6） regulate 调节

（7） superior 上级



04

In conclusion, the two types of skills are not mutually exclusive as both of them are equally important in the job market. As far as employment is concerned, there is no “either/or” question since the answer mustnecessarily be both.



总之，这两种技能并不是相互排斥的，因为这两种技能在就业市场上同样重要。就工作而言，没有“非此即彼”的问题，因为答案必须是两者兼而有之。



解析

（1） 总结前面的主要观点，强调两者都很重要。

（2） mutually exclusive 相互排斥

Some people think that the qualities a person needs to become successful in today’s world cannot be learned at a university or any similar institution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?



解析&审题



连续两周考的都是很古老的题目，上周重复的是2012年1月14日的考题，而本周则重复了2011年9月3日的题目，距今已经7年多的老题，估计很多同学都没有准备到。本周的题目是：让一个人成功的那些素质，在大学里学不到吗？就这个问题，我们的思路不外乎以下几种：



A. 一边倒讨论：完全学得到 / 完全学不到

B. 双边讨论：虽然学不到这些素质，但大学有利于人们强化和使用这些素质

C. 批判思维：某些素质大学学不到（如自信、勇气等），有些素质则可以学到（人际交往能力，处理问题能力等）。



考生可以在以上思维方式中任选一个进行写作。



以下是唐老师的高分范文。本范文中，唐老师遵从以上第2个写作方案。首先分析成功者需要哪些素质，然后认为这些素质学校是教不了的，论据有二：其一，很多成功的人大学成绩很差，甚至都没有读完大学；其二，大学成绩好的人，很多最后都不怎么成功。接着提出大学教育可以帮助人们合理使用他们的天生的素质，从而也有利于他们的成功，结论是大学教育在培养成功的学生方面有价值。



请大家认真阅读范文，看唐老师是如何把以上思路落实到具体文字表达的。



老师笔记 01

If we look at those who have achieved success in their own fields today, we will easily find that they are simultaneously ambitious, courageous, resilient and self-confident, among other things. First, ambitious people are willing to take risks, and they will see that they are capable of doing their best and being the best at what they do. Second, many people do not achieve success for lack of courage and this fear of failure is exactly what holds them back. Third, resilience is a key trait for success as it is what can help people to continue going, no matter what adversity they encounter. Fourth, people must trust themselves because without self-confidence, success is simply out of the question.



如果我们看看那些今天在自己的领域取得成功的人，我们就会很容易地发现，他们都是有雄心、勇敢、有韧性和自信的。首先，有雄心的人愿意冒险，他们会发现自己有能力尽量把所有事情做到。第二，很多人因为缺乏勇气而没有成功，而这种惧怕失败正是阻碍他们前进的原因。第三，韧性是成功的关键，因为无论遇到什么逆境，它都能帮助人们继续前进。第四，人们必须相信自己，因为没有自信，成功是根本不可能的。



解析

（1） 本段开门见山，分析成功者的四大特征：雄心、勇敢、韧性和自信，并简要分析各种特征对于成功的重要性。

（2） achieve success 取得成功

（3） simultaneously 同时地

（4） resilient 有弹性的

（5） among other things 等等；诸如此类

（6） take risks 冒险

（7） be capable of... 能够做......

（8） adversity 逆境；对手

（9） out of the question 不可能的



02

In my opinion, university is probably not the place for people to learn such qualities as ambition, courage, resilience and self-confidence. As a matter of fact, many successful men and women alive today did poorly in a university. They got low grades or no grades, and many of them had not completed university or even high school. They are simply born with these “success” qualities. On the other hand, many students who have received excellent university education do not turn out to be very successful in life. This amply shows that the university and other similar institutions cannot give people those qualities to make them successful.



在我看来，大学可能不是人们学习雄心、勇气、韧性和自信的地方。事实上，许多今天仍健在的成功男女在大学里表现不佳。他们成绩不高或者没有成绩，他们中的许多人都没有完成大学甚至高中学业。他们天生就具备这些“成功”的品质。另一方面，很多受过良好大学教育的学生在生活中并不是很成功。这充分表明，大学和其他类似的机构不能教给人成功的品质。

解析

（1） 本段主要论述大学无法教会学生成功素质的原因。

（2） as a matter of fact 事实上

（3） turn out 原来是......

（4） amply 充分地



03

Yet this does not follow that the environment like a university is not helpful at all for the development of those “success” character traits. In fact, through the university experience, people will be better able to get in tune with and therefore make the most of their positive qualities. In this regard, the university and other institutions do have a role to play in making people successful.



然而，这并不意味着像大学这样的环境对培养这些“成功”的性格特征毫无帮助。事实上，通过大学的经历，人们会能够更好地遵从，从而限度地利用他们的积质。在这方面，大学和其他机构在使人成功方面确实可以发挥作用。



解析

（1） 本段主要大学在培养“成功”素质方面并非完全没有作用。

（2） this does not follow that... 这不意味着......

（3） character trait 性格特征

（4） get in tune with... 与......保持一致

（5） make the most of... 充分利用......

（6） in this regard 在这方面



04

In conclusion, although the qualities that are required to succeed cannot be learned at a university or a similar institution, probably they can bestrengthened to some extent. It is, therefore, not appropriate to say that people can achieve success only through university education, or that university education has completely nothing to do with people’s success.



总之，虽然成功所需的素质不能在大学或类似的机构中学习，但它们可能会在某种程度上得到加强。因此，说人们只有通过大学教育才能取得成功不合适，或者说大学教育与人们的成功完全无关也不合适。



解析

（1） 总结前面的主要观点。

（2） require 需要

（3） strengthen 强化

（4） appropriate 恰当的

Third, resilience is a key trait for success as it is what can help people to continue going, no matter what adversity they encounter. Fourth, people must trust themselves because without self-confidence, success is simply out of the question.

In my opinion, university is probably not the place for people to learn such qualities as ambition, courage, resilience and self-confidence. As a matter of fact, many successful men and women alive today did poorly in a university. They got low grades or no grades, and many of them had not completed university or even high school. They are simply born with these “success” qualities. On the other hand, many students who have received excellent university education do not turn out to be very successful in life. This amply shows that the university and other similar institutions cannot give people those qualities to make them successful.

Yet this does not follow that the environment like a university is not helpful at all for the development of those “success” character traits. In fact, through the university experience, people will be better able to get in tune with and therefore make the most of their positive qualities. In this regard, the university and other institutions do have a role to play in making people successful.

In conclusion, although the qualities that are required to succeed cannot be learned at a university or a similar institution, probably they can be strengthened to some extent. It is, therefore, not appropriate to say that people can achieve success only through university education, or that university education has completely nothing to do with people’s success.
