寫作衝刺丨如何展開雅思寫作大作文分論點

在雅思寫作大作文備考衝刺階段，許多同學都習慣花大量時間去整理一套雅思寫作大作文素材和套路，但是臨場考試的效果往往不理想。因爲你發現自己的素材庫裏的內容只夠撐起半個題目;或者因爲這個題目壓根就不在我準備範圍之內。本文就教給大家當遇到比較“奇葩”題目的時候如何去打開思路“想”分論點，從而讓我們的文章充實起來。

寫作衝刺丨如何展開雅思寫作大作文分論點

以教育類的題目爲例：Some people think that watching television is bad for children. Others say it is good for children to get knowledge. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

該題甲方觀點是說，看電視對於小孩來說有壞處，其分論點並不難想：一方面看電視在身體上(physically) 有壞處：比如造成近視的(short-sighted)問題，長期坐着不運動肥胖(obesity)問題;另一方面看電視在行爲上(behaviorally)也對小孩有不良影響：比如暴力內容(violent content)以及危險行爲(dangerous behaviors)會讓小朋友模仿(imitate)，對他人造成傷害，比如以下新聞：

而該題乙方觀點是說，看電視對小孩獲得知識有好處(good for children to get knowledge)，這就很抽象了。很多小夥伴能夠首先想到的是看新聞(news)，然後能想到看紀錄片(documentary films)，之後就一片空白，開始進入卡殼狀態，以至於在考場上浪費了時間還寫不夠字數。

當我們題目中遇到抽象名詞時要相信雅思考試的內容是在你的認知範圍之內的，下面我們就把抽象的詞knowledge來變具體化。

那看電視都看什麼呢?

你會看《動物世界》《Animal World》

“春天來了,萬物復甦,。。。。。”

所以我們能在其中獲得的知識就是自然科學(natural science)有關的知識。讓看電視的小盆友們學習到物種多樣性(diversity of species) 、各種生態環境(Various ecological environments)以及適者生存(survival of the fittest)的自然法則(law of nature)。

再者，有的電視節目能起到獨特的功效，比如一檔節目，如果想增肥的話在吃飯以後看(因爲看完它你又餓了)，如果想減肥的話就在飯前看(因爲看完之後就不想吃自己面前的飯了)。它就是：《舌尖上的中國》(A BITE OF CHINA).

看《舌尖上的中國》能讓大家瞭解到中華飲食文化(Chinese diet culture)

教給小盆友們廚藝技能(cooking methods and skills)。同時節目裏還會描述當地人的生活方式(lifestyle of local residents) ，會跨越不同的中國省份，也就有了地理知識(knowledge of geography)和當地禮節與風俗習慣(local manners and customs)。

除了這些其實還有可以獲得知識的，不像以上科目這麼劃分，它是一種語言學習(language learning)。比如CCTV有一個頻道專門用英語來講--《CCTV News》， 小夥伴們在看該節目的時候可以學習英語(learn English)，積累不同領域的詞彙(vocabulary in different sectors and fields)和專業知識理論(professional knowledge and theories)。

乙方觀點說看電視 is good for children to get knowledge，其實還有另一方面也比較具體可以提及，那就知識傳遞方式(the way of knowledge transmission)。 看電視和看書不同，電視有鮮明的動畫(vivid animations)和悅耳的聲音(melodious sound)，這些可以幫助小盆友們更好地吸收知識(absorb knowledge efficiently)。

那話說回來，講了這麼多，全都是大家熟悉的電視節目，爲什麼自己在寫作文的時候就是想不起來呢? 這是一個抽象變具體的過程(abstractions turn into details)，小夥伴們需要敢於並且善於把抽象的事物變具體，就像這個考題裏的，把knowledge變具體，變成不同領域的知識。

那反過來想，爲什麼考官不給我們具體的方向呢，比如natural science。那題目中的乙方觀點就成了Others say it is good for children to learn natural science。如果題目真這麼出的話，可寫的內容就太少了，就只能關注在自然科學上，其他的領域都不可以寫了。所以考官不會這麼出題，會故意在出題的時候把範圍擴大，那範圍一擴大了，關鍵詞就變得抽象了，真實目的是不限制大家思路的發揮。

雅思寫作範文：家庭和外界對孩子造成的影響

Task：A family has a great influence on children's development, but the outside of home plays a bigger part in children's life. Do you agree or disagree?

思路解析：

1. 首先，家庭造成的影響不可小覷。畢竟父母是孩子生命當中的第一個老師，每天陪伴孩子們最長時間。舉例，他們直接教會孩子們基本的生存技能，如語言，做飯，收拾屋子，衛生習慣，以及基本的學術能力，如數學計算，閱讀，思考和判斷。

2. 然而，其他因素同樣有影響力。舉例，在孩子們的學術教育上，學校的老師影響是第一位的。他們是學生教育的領路人，教會他們各個學科的基礎知識，學習方式，以及培養他們對於某些學科的熱愛。

3. 媒體同樣對孩子們的影響很大。舉例，電視和電影鏡頭中的暴力內容會扭曲孩子們的價值觀，讓他們變得富有侵略性，產生對於暴力的崇拜，並且錯誤地認爲採用暴力手段解決問題是合適的。

參考範文：

The development of children depends on many factors, including parents, school education, media, peers and so forth. Personally, I agree that the family is less influential than other aspects working together, and my reasons would be explored as below.

Admittedly, the influence of family on children is very deep, because parents, primary teachers in the life of children, set the first role models for them to learn and imitate, and which would be logged into the impressionable childhood mind and determine basic behaviors and thinking of them. For example, by observing and learning the daily activities of parents, like speaking, cooking and house cleaning, washing hands before eating, a child can master the language, self-care ability and hygienic habits. Besides, parents also play a key role in developing the intelligence of children. For instance, with day-to-day teaching, communication and storytelling, a parent can help a child to improve cognitive skills like basic mathematic calculation, memorizing, reading, and thinking and judging in a proper way.

However, I strongly believe outside-of-home elements make greater contributions to the overall growth of children. Firstly, in terms of academic education, teachers in school have priority over parents. For example, compared with some parent who have low-level or even no education, teachers are professionally educated and trained in formal university, and well-experienced in teaching. That is to say, school teachers are more advantageous and influential, in terms of comprehensively and accurately instructing, explaining and demonstrating common knowledge about laws of nature and universe, theories and formulas of math and physics, and events and people in history. What is more, forming social skills also relies on a school environment where children have opportunities to communicate, play and argue with other peers. This strong interpersonal interaction can make children proficient in real-world socialization.

Besides, mass media is another external factor affecting children’s development. For example, violent video on the Internet, TV programs and computer games are very likely to twist social values of the young audience, because children, unlike adults, are lack of abilities to distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, with long-term exposure to ill information, children would be rude, aggressive and self eccentric. As a result, they, more often than not, consider violence as the main or even only way to solve problems, thereby leading to school bullying.

In conclusion, when it comes to the importance in influencing children, other aspects like teachers in school and media override the parents, for the reasons that the formers have incomparable effects on the education, social skills and personalities of children.

雅思寫作範文：現代遊戲VS傳統遊戲

Task：Some people think modern games can help children to develop a wide range of skills, but others argue that traditional games can be much better for developing such skills. What is your opinion?

思路解析：

1. 現代遊戲的好處：打電子遊戲能鍛鍊孩子們的眼手協調，反應。還有，在處理遊戲的數據過程中，孩子們也學會了計算，分析和推導能力。此外，電腦遊戲也讓孩子們學會使用鼠標，鍵盤和社交網絡。

2. 然而，我仍然認爲傳統遊戲更好。第一，下棋有效地提高了孩子們的智商和認知能力。舉例，孩子們需要學會記憶，在大腦中推測和假設，還要學會將分析視覺化。

3. 此外，傳統的戶外遊戲，如野外定向運動，培養了孩子們的生活技能，如識別地圖，做飯，以及急救知識。

參考範文：

What kind of games should a child choose to play, modern games or traditional ones? Personally, In terms of contributions of games to improving skills of children, I believe traditional games have a better overall performance, and my reasons will be explored as below.

Admittedly, benefits stemming from modern games should not be ignored. Generally speaking, playing video games is an interactive process that stimulates the neural mechanism of children. By this way, the eye-hand coordination, reaction and decision-making ability can be improved. Many puzzle games also sharpen cognition capacities like calculating, interpreting, logic thinking and reasoning. In addition, another practical skill trained from playing online games is computer operation, such as how to use mouse, keyboard and the Internet, as well as communicate with others by social networking.

However, I still believe traditional games are superior to modern ones, in many aspects. For example, board games, a typical entertainment, improve cognitive skills of children. For example, chess optimizes the memory performance. During a game, a player's mind is driven to actively recall every previous move, as well as recognize techniques and tricks. Secondly, Chess improves the ability of visualization. Before making a move, a child visualizes the possibilities and variations of patterns, and picks the most appropriate action. Thirdly, it also strengthens the concentration, because a player would learn to focus on the main goal--to checkmate and become the victor.

Finally, scouting, a traditional outdoor game, is very beneficial for the independent ability of children, physically and mentally. First, when camping or hiking in forests, these young-age scouts quickly have a high-level proficiency in practical living skills, such as ways of packing, knotting, cooking and firing, reading map and compass for orientation, and first aid skills to coping with illness or injuries.

In conclusion, it is undeniable that advantages brought from traditional games are more than that of modern one. Although technology-based games can make children skilled in operating computer, traditional games like bricks, chess and scouting can do more and better for developing the intelligence, cognitive abilities and independence among children.

雅思寫作範文：過於保護動物

Task：Some people argue that too much attention and too many resources are given to the protection of wild Animals and what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample answer：

In recent years, animal protection has become an issue of concern. People take different attitudes towards the increasing attention and expenditure on wildlife conservation. Some people suggest that the spending should be redirected to helping other fields in society. I agree with the view that the investment in wildlife protection is not worthwhile.

Animals, as a key component of the whole food chain, have a profound impact on the sustainability of an ecosystem. As we known, every kind of animals plays an important role in natural balance. For instance, the demise of any species will lead to the growth or decline of other species. In some extreme cases, some species may at the verge of extinction such as Dodo bird. If people did not take actions to protect wildlife as soon as possible, we humans would be affected in the end.

However, there are more issues that we need to focus in our society rather than protecting animals. In current social context, the primary task is still to improve living standards since there are many people living under the poverty line. Only when people are in a good living condition, can they pay attention to other social problems. Besides, technology and education are another two aspects of governments to concern. These two industries accelerate the development of society, which will provide a better protection for wildlife in turn.

In conclusion, although the animal is a significant part of ecosystem, it is better for governments to invest more finance and resources in other social problems.
