雅思满分作文

It is certainly true that today traffic in cities throughout the world has become a major problem. This is obvious from the number of vehicles on our roads and the amount of pollution they cause. Probably the traffic problem is due to individuals travelling for work, study or shopping purposes, and this is evident in the rush hours we experience every morning and evening.

It is also true that, these days, such daily commuting is not always necessary because people can do these things from home. We can see this in the options Information Technology gives us today. For instance, on-line work, distance learning and shopping facilities are all available via the Internet.

However, even if everyone had access to the technology and the opportunity to work from home, it is unrealistic to think that everyone would want to. Even though the technology for working, studying or shopping on-line makes this option a possibility, nevertheless it would mean people had less freedom of choice and less social contact in their lives. This would have a large impact on society as a whole.

So, in conclusion, I think that while this practice could reduce the traffic problems in our cities, it is most unlikely to be an acceptable solution. In terms of other solutions, perhaps we need to think more carefully about facilitating public transport and limiting private cars in our city centres. The development of public transport that is not road-based, such as sky trains or subways, would probably be a more acceptable alternative measure to reduce jams on our roads.

首位雅思作文满分的学生感言

西安市庆安中学高中二年级的陈晨，一个17岁的小女孩，喜欢书法、爱练太极、打乒乓球，像别的女孩子一样爱漂亮。但不同的是，05年2月，国际英语雅思考试(IELTS)的考场上，这个来自西安市庆安中学高中二年级的女孩，仅用了40分钟，以一篇漂亮的作文得到了雅思历次考试有史以来全国首个作文满分近日获得新东方教育科技集团首次颁发的高分特等奖。 同时，她的听说读写综合成绩为7.5分。看到这个成绩，陈晨自己也感到非常意外。 从开始上雅思辅导，到参加考试，她一共才用了一个多月的准备时间。而这一个多月的背后则是长达数年的不断坚持。

兴趣就是最好的老师

说起自己当初学英语，陈晨笑言，这是一个美丽的意外。正经开始学英语应该是从初中开始。但初一的时候，她并不喜欢英语。因为当时她的英语口语特别不好，加上这种学习是和考试挂钩的，功课的压力，让她很难对这门难学的功课产生好感。但到了初二，这种局面就完全转变了。初二的时候，陈晨班里来了一位外教。他的课堂内容几乎是全英语教学。但陈晨非但没有发怵，反而通过这位外教老师活泼轻松的课堂教学慢慢喜欢上了这门不久前还毫不“感冒”的课程。直到现在想起来，陈晨还一直感激这位引领她踏上英语学习之路的老师。

培养纯正英式思维

很多人都懂得阅读是英语学习的基础这个道理。但真正能做到这点和凭借这点确实取得成绩的人却仍是少数。陈晨认为，自己取得今天这个意想不到的好成绩，绝大部分功劳还属平时的阅读功底扎实。对于阅读，她有自己独到的体会。陈晨说，自己平时阅读的英文大多数都是报纸和杂志，对于那些大部头的经典英语原文名著，她倒不是很“执着”。听英语广播、看英语原声电影和英文杂志、参加英语角，都是她课余时间的最大爱好。“我喜欢听布莱尔演讲。当你发现外国人说的话你大多能听懂时，就会希望自己能听得更多、说得更多。”这次雅思作文能得满分，陈晨和她的老师都认为全都要归功于她地道的“英式思维”。而这正是她平时大量阅读英文报纸、杂志所积累的扎实的基本功。

对于目前的雅思考试，学生完全可以通过大量做题、背作文、背模句来应考。但结果大家也都看到了，最好的成绩不过如此。但真能把英语吃进去，并且融合出适合自己的东西的人太少了。其实陈晨这次的雅思作文满分，就得益于她地道的英式思维。她的作文内容并不深奥，词汇也并不艰深，但能得到雅思考官的认同，就因为他们在中国看到了一篇从未见过的典型性英式文章。

字典是个宝

常见学英语的学生都随身携带着小巧的电子辞典，每每在做题的时候抱着这个小玩意儿狂按。对这种学习辅助工具的依赖几乎成了所有学生的通病。谈到这点，陈晨很肯定地说：“我从来不用那种翻译工具。”但她选择了另外一种辅助工具——字典。陈晨最喜欢的一部字典是《牛津大词典》。她告诉记者，从开始学英语一直到现在，她从字典里获益良多。 这种权威性强的字典往往会对一个单词有全方位的解释和剖析。通过结合词组、句型等方式，可以帮助加深对单词的记忆印象，而且字典内的举例完全是英式的思维方法，都是典型的英式英语。陈晨说，她自己有好多小本，每个小本上都是从各种英文资料上摘抄的例句。有的是从英文杂志上摘抄的，有的是从字典里摘抄的，就是这一个个小本子，使陈晨的思维模式、英语表达越来越像一个标准的英国人。陈晨笑言，好在打基础的时候就走对了路，没有落下什么中式英语的毛病。这次的作文满分也就是成功摆脱了固有的中文翻译式作文。 个性思维能力比较强

除了英语学习外，打乒乓球、练太极、写书法等等都为陈晨所爱。正是由于对各类知识的广泛涉猎，陈晨的个性思维能力比较强。据张亚哲介绍，其实雅思考试主要考查的还是学生的个性思维能力，必须要言之有物才能得到考官的青睐。所以平时注意积累自己的观察事物能力，练就总结归纳能力，也是取得高分的必要手段。

第二篇：雅思满分作文

Is the opinion of the majority-in government or in any other circumstances-a poor guide?

The entire idea of democracy centers around “majority rule”， where laws and standards are put into effect if most of the citizens support it. However, if people concentrate on only the majority in each

circumstance, they often forget the voices and rights of the minorities. Simply because a person is in the minority of an opinion does not mean he can be ignored, for in a true democracy all the citizens are guaranteed the same rights. Thus in some circumstances strictly following the opinions of the majority is a poor guide to determining what actions to take.

The days before America’s Civil War, when slavery was prevalent, demonstrate that following majority rule often fails to respect people’s moral rights and liberty. The majority of white people in the early 1800’s supported slavery because of the benefits they received from the

suppressed blacks. Thus, the government reluctantly allowed slavery to be legal in America, despite the terrible sufferings of the slaves. The degraded slaves underwent uncountable terrifying experiences-they were beaten, separated from their families, and forced to toil laboriously in fields their entire lives. And because the government believed “majority ruled”，the slaves lived in such conditions until the Emancipation Proclamation was written during the bloody Civil War. Had the government not followed the opinions of the clamoring whites, slavery could have been abolished much sooner, and much suffering could have been avoided. Thus, in this circumstance of freedom vs. suppression, the opinion of the majority served as a poor guide to follow by the U.S. government.

Furthermore, the effects of majority rule impact Americans today, for there are many unsolved, controversial issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and homosexual marriages. In the case of “gay rights”， the majority of Americans oppose people of the same sex marrying, and most of the states’ laws reflect this opinion. However, ignoring the wishes of gays and lesbians by enacting these laws will leave many of them unhappy because they cannot legally “tie the knot” with the person they love. The U.S. Constitution declares that everyone has the right to pursue happiness, but by banning gay marriages, some may be barred from the happiness of marriage. In addition, many oppose stem cell research because they are angered by the fact that embryos are created and then destroyed. Once again, though, if the government passes a law banning such research, the minority may suffer. Stem cell research may save lives by using the cells to specialize in a certain area. Those who would benefit from the discoveries of stem cell research may die...
