雅思写作高频话题之教育类思路扩展

朗阁海外考试研究中心

教育类话题在雅思写作考试中是最高频的话题之一。中国考生的雅思写作分数有很多集中在5分以及5.5分的档次，主要原因有时候是因为偏题导致的，本文朗阁海外考试研究中心的雅思培训老师将以教育类话题为例，总结雅思写作话题的思路应该如何进行扩展。

话题一

Some people think that university students should only study one specialist subject. Others think that universities should encourage students to study a range of subjects in addition to a specialist area. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

一些人认为大学生应当只学习专业学科，另一些人认为大学应当鼓励学生除了专业领域之外学习一系列学科。

关键：a specialist subject VS a range of subjects and a specialist area

（专业 VS 专业+辅修）

有人认为只学专业的科目理由是，只学专业科目可以将专业科目学得更精深，可以在将来有更强的专业竞争力，毕竟就业压力对于现在的大学生来说很大。另一些人认为除了专业知识之外，还应学其他科目，既可以学到就业技能，也可以培养其他技能，例如辅修外语，可以使得学生能自行查阅国外先进的资料并且也能运用外语与他国人士交流经验等；辅修运动可以锻炼出强健的体魄并且学会团队合作以及拥有竞争意识。

话题二

Some people believe that the main aim of university education is to help

graduates find better jobs, while others think that university education has much wider benefits for individuals and society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

有些人相信大学教育的主要目的是帮助毕业生找到好工作，而另外一些人认为大学教育对个人和社会有更广泛的好处。讨论两个观点给出你自己的观点。

关键：help graduates find better jobs VS wider benefits for individuals and society

找到好工作可以参照上述学生学专业知识的原因。大学的更广泛好处：对个人，全面学习知识，拓展视野，提高追求层次；交朋友，寻找人生伴侣；一种生活方式，对于很多工作后重返校园的人而言，大学里的学习生活就是一个社会、科研机构的老巢，思考者的汇集地，伟大思想和技术的孵化池。

话题三

Some people think that teachers should be responsible for teaching students how to judge right and wrong and how to behave well. Some say that teachers should only teach students about academic subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

有些人认为老师应当负责教学生如何判断对错和如何行为得体；有些人说老师应当只教学生学术科目，讨论两个观点给出你的意见。

关键：how to judge right and wrong and how to behave well VS academic subjects

有些人觉得老师应当只关注学术科目，这是老师的基本职责（比如幼儿园和小学的识字、算术、美术、音乐、体育；中学的外语、物理、化学、自然、生物、历史、地理；大学的各种专业知识）。但学生和老师相处时间长，除了学习学术科目，在为人处世方面也会潜移默化

地受老师影响。

所以，我认为老师也有责任教学生如何判断对错和行为得体，比如守时是好习惯，而浪费是坏习惯；应当重视家庭，尊重长辈；应当相信工作，相信人。这些做人方面的内容对学生在未来职业的帮助甚至超过专业知识。虽然孩子们也能从家长处或媒体上学到相关内容，但老师通常是主体。教师不仅应关注学术科目，还有责任教学生判断对错和行为得体。

话题四

In some countries, schools aim to provide a general education across a range of subjects; in others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. For today’s world, which system is more appropriate?

在一些国家，学校的目的是提供包括一系列科目的通才教育；在另一些国家，孩子们关注与某个职业相关的很窄的一些科目。今天的世界，哪种体制更恰当？

关键：a range of subjects VS a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career

西方国家的本科教育通常是通才教育。在本科阶段，广泛地学习和实际工作关系似乎不大的各领域知识，比如心理、经济、历史等学科；而在研究生阶段，再具体学习职业技能，比如进商学院，医学院和法学院。这种教育首先把学生培养成一个视野广阔的人，然后再根据兴趣选择合适领域深造。

而一些东方国家的本科教育通常是专才教育。在本科阶段集中精力在某个领域的专业学习，这样容易快速培养专业人才，对国家发展短期有益，但忽视了个人综合素质的培养，尤其是人文素质，影响了人才向更高层面的成长。

今天的世界知识爆炸，交叉领域层出不穷，通才教育更有助于开阔学生视野，找到适合自己的定位。

话题五

Some people suggest that schools should pay more attention to academic subjects for children because these subjects are useful for their future career. They think that subjects like music and sports are not useful and should be reduced. What is your opinion?

有些人建议学校应当更加注意孩子们的学术科目因为这些科目对孩子们未来的职业有用。他们认为音乐和体育之类的学科没用并应当减少。你的观点是？

关键：academic subjects VS subjects like music and sports

学校应具备职业教育功能，之前的文章已分析，不赘述。而且学校已经把很大比例的课程都安排成学术科目。

音乐和体育课之类的“非实用”学科本身比例已经很少，不应再减少。音乐和体育课之类的课程对未来职业发展也都有帮助，比如，音乐课可以培养人的审美能力，激发人的创造力，这对未来从事创造性行业，比如时尚设计师，建筑师有帮助；体育课能促进身体协调能力的发展，对未来的户外运动教练，警察，士兵等职业都有益。而且，听音乐和做运动都是孩子们喜欢的活动，可以放松身心，有助于更好的学术科目学习。

不应减少音乐和体育课之类的课程，它们不仅对未来职业有帮助，而且可以增加学生生活的乐趣，促进学术科目学习。

所以，只要能熟悉各种话题中的各种思路，即使在考试的时候碰见了新题，也是可以文思泉涌的。

第二篇：海口雅思培训--雅思小作文流程图的写作方法

雅思小作文流程图的写作方法

朗阁海外考试研究中心

雅思写作考试中的Task1小作文有三种题型：图表，流程图和地图。考生们备考时多把注意力放在图表题，对后两类题目准备不足甚至无准备，一旦真遇到了流程图和地图，往往束手无策，凭自己的直觉应付写一下，凑够字数交差。流程图和地图题的写作是有一定的方法的，按照方法来写，其实并不难，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家在本文中，先来探讨流程图作文的写作。

题目给出的是流程图，就是以图示的方法把一个过程或流程清楚地显示了出来，现在要求考生做的是把该流程图还原成说明文。由此可见，我们实际上要做的就是看图作文。而大家都知道，看图作文是我们在小学最初学写作文时的入门做法。照着图来写，省却了要自己想象和构思的过程，这自然比起写议论文的挑战度要低一些。所以，大家应该更有信心去对付流程图作文，毕竟实际上所做的是“看图作文”。

流程图写作基本原则

流程图作文是以对流程的描述为主的。全文的安排通常分为两个主要部分：引言段和主体部分。引言段是用来作简介的，介绍该流程图表示了一个什么什么的过程，常用的句型为主语+谓语+宾语模式。然后视情况可以多加一句说整个过程可以分为若干个阶段。引言段只需一段，通常就是这么一二句话。

主体部分是文章的核心部分，主要是说明该流程，所以是说明文式的行文。主体部分可依照整个流程分成几个阶段而大体相应地分为几个自然段。主体部分的写作原则如下：

1. 把图看懂

这是首要前提，理解了流程图表示的是什么以及是怎样的一个过程，才谈得上用文字表达出来。能否看得懂图取决于几方面的因素：词汇量，知识面，生活经验和常识等。考生平时要有心地做一下这些方面的积累和准备。一般来说，流程图是不难看懂的。万一有些什么地方

卡住了，也要大胆地合乎逻辑地去猜测，推想，判断，要灵活机敏。

2. 按图示的顺序写

流程图会表示一个过程的流向顺序。因此，不难按照图示的顺序来写。若是分成几个阶段的，就按顺序逐个阶段来描述，通常就相应地分成几个自然段落。

3. 将图所提供的词扩展（或串）成句子

流程图中会提供一些关键的说明性的词，比如步骤或环节的名称，怎样做，添加什么原料，去掉什么，输送到哪儿等等。我们就可以直接利用这些关键词写成句子，方法有两类，依照图的情况而分别采用之。如果流程图比较简短，用扩展的办法，就是以一个关键词为核心词，扩展成一个甚至两个句子，以达到字数的要求。反之，若图比较长而复杂，就采用串的办法，一句话把两个甚至三个步骤串起来，这样可以把较长的过程压缩得短一些来描述。无论用哪一种方法，都要利用流程图上所给出的词，这是图提供给我们的方便，要充分利用。在读懂图的基础上，再有这些关键词的帮助，这篇作文就不难写出来了。整篇文章字数要求是150字，图中给出的词往往就占了将近三分之一，考生要写的就只是余下的三分之二左右了。

4. 主体部分的句子多用被动语态

流程图说明文的特点是多用被动语态，主要是指主体部分对过程说明性的句子采用被动语态，这样会显得比较客观和学术性一些。

5. 注意连接词和转折词的运用

流程图说明文是按照一个流程的顺序来写的，上句和下句之间往往存在着先后次序的逻辑关系，或者意思转折的关系。因而，两句之间经常需要用到有关的连接词或转折词。考生要注重这两类词或短语的使用，而且要用得自然，合理和圆润，这样才能使全文读起来清晰流畅，一气呵成。

6. 尽量避免用词重复，做到变化，多样化

这一点其实对于所有英文写作都一样的，流程图作文当然也不例外。写作英文时要带着这个观念，善于运用同义词语。不光是同义词之间的转换使用，还要扩展到同义的词和短语，短语与句子之间的变换。养成这个习惯对写作很有益处。

当然尽量避免用词重复，并不是说绝对不可以重复，只是尽量避免。有时有些专有名词是难免重复的，但即使要重复用到，也尽可能拉远一点距离，不宜靠得太近重复。

第三篇：雅思高分作文范文- 教育类

1. It is generally believed that education is of vital importance in individuals’ development and well-being of societies. What should education consist of to fulfill both these functions?

With the rapid development of modern society, education is becoming more and more crucial to both individuals and societies. The issue over what education should consist of has considerably aroused people’s wide concern. In this essay, I seek to explore this complicated topic from diverse perspectives and what influence could be brought.

Among the most important aspects education should consist of, one should be stressed is professional knowledge education. On one hand, under the fierce competitive circumstance, people who have professional skills and experience attract many big companies. Therefore, study about one special area gives people more opportunities to hurt an ideal job. On the other hand, this education is also significant to develop societies in a long run.

At the second place, what is also worth noticing is that physical education is necessary for students, especially for teenagers. If you want to achieve successfully in the modern societies, strong body is the first premise, which makes you always in sharp. So education should push people to take care themselves and this could bring great benefits to the healthy society.

Last but not least, we should not lose sight of psychological education. Psychological problems are serious nowadays and a sizable percentage of people suffer from them. A survey conducted by a famous research organization indicates that over 40 percent of students have various psychological problems, who really need help from school and society. Even worse, if such problems cannot be solved, they could hamper the progress of well-being society.

Judging from what I have been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that three aspects cannot be separated in education, which play vital important roles in the growth of individuals and societies. The fulfillment of both people and societies can be done as long as we lay emphasis on three aspects mentioned above.

2. Human Society is a long period of building and developing. From the time man lived in dank caves to nowadays when he lives in such a modern life with a lot of excellent facilities. The modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it. Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.

The first reason for this is that learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and information in the past. Without yesterday, there is no today. A society can develop only when its people inherit and understand the achievements of the precursors because the precursors' achievements were the foundation for everything to develop.. For example, before 1964 there was only black-and-white television but until now there are kinds of colour televisions that are slim and innovative such as LCD TV... The black-and-white television made the basis and gave inventors idea to develop the modern TV nowadays. Consequently our knowledge, success today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.

Secondly, learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.

Additionally, if learning about the past has no value, people in the world could speak, could write by themselves without learning from anyone. This is impossible so the value of the past, in this case are the parents, are undeniable.

In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future because no one can jump without ground to stand on.

3. When it comes to the value of history, the discussion of this issue

among individuals and in society as a whole has come into vogue during

the last decade. The statement declares that “learning about the past

has no value for those of us living in the present.” I disagree with

the ...there is a thing you have to know.

The main reason for my propensity to the importance of history is

that in the business world, there is a saying that you have to know

where you have been and where you are in order to know where you are

going...

Furthermore, I agree that business corporations find it critical to

have regular views of the past business performance without

reservations since each corporation has to see what mistakes were

made in order to avoid repeating them. Naturally, they learn from the

past mistakes which prepare them for the future.

Let’s bring our discussion to a more present and practical context.

It can be given an example that Microsoft usually has regular views of

its past performance, usually in the form of quarterly or annual review.

Another equally essential aspect accounting for why I advocate the

value of learning about the past involves the realm of politics and

society. No one can deny that in the international arena, one must

possess a thorough knowledge of history in order to understand the

current dynamics and complex relationships among countries.

Obviously, it is imperative that the politicians should learn from the

past political mistakes. History is replete with evidence to demonstrate

this point that the world community learned the great lesson from WWII

that there must not be another world war thus we entered into 40 plus

years of the cold war.

However, we should concede that despite the merits of learning

about the past, over extended referring to the past will be indeed

counterproductive, even harmful. The harm it produces is, in my view,

both palpable and profound. For the individual, it has a debasing

impact on people’s originality; for the society, it may promote a

tendency toward mechanism ossification.

In sum, the advantages of referring to the past outweigh the

disadvantages, but it is imperative to point out that whether historical

information can actively affect our present life depends on whether we

could take rational cognizance of the past and whether we could try to

make breakthrough and whether we could learn from the past failures

and success, especially from the failures.
