2011.05.07雅思写作A类考试讲解

【图表作文题目】Task 1
The line graph gives information about the number of books bought from different sources ( bookshops, supermarkets and Internet) in an European country from 2000 to 2012.

【题目翻译】
图表给出的信息是某欧洲国家从2000年至2012年在书店、超市、网络三种渠道的售书比较。

【图表题型】
本图表属于曲线图（Line Graph）
【图表作文分析】
五月份的第一场写作考试中的小作文考的依然是曲线图，与四月份第一场考试考的题型是一样的。不同的是这次是三条线的对比。写曲线图的时候需注意分析曲线的趋势，不能单纯的只体现数据。要运用对比、类比、极值、分析上升与下降趋势的方法来进行写作。

【议论文题目】Task 2
Environmental problem is too big for individual countries or individual people to address. In other words, the only way to lessen environmental problems is at an international level. Do you agree or disagree?

【题目翻译】
解决环境问题的唯一手段是争取国际合作，而不是单纯个人或国家就能解决的。你同意还是不同意这个观点?

【话题分类与题型】
本话题属环保类话题。

【话题评价】
这是属于旧题重现的文章。 最近在课堂上和学生讨论环保类话题的时候也提到与国际接轨的问题。如现在最热门话题日本地震海啸引起的核泄漏所带来的核辐射（nuclear radiation）

问题，就是一个不能单纯依靠日本本国就能解决的问题。又如现在提倡的低碳生活（low-carbon living），是需要全球人一起共同努力的。所以考生们写此类作文时可以与当下热门时事话题相结合。

【结构与思路】
此文是属于“半支持半反对型”题目，问的是do you agree or disagree，建议采用一边倒的写法。可以分为五段，开头段交代背景内容并提出自己的观点（同意or不同意）；主体段分别给出三个原因论述(如两个原因agree，一个原因disagree)。结尾段重述观点（agree）并给予展望。

【类似考题】
Environmental problems cannot be solved by one or a few countries. Instead, they should be solved with international effort. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

【参考范文】（此参考范文采用四段式结构，是一篇7.5分的范文）

Environmental challenges, ranging from the smog in cities to toxic groundwater to the Antarctic ozone hole, have been presented to us. I believe many of these challenges should be met with collaboration across national boundaries.

Environmental concerns should be dealt with through joint efforts from countries―for two main reasons. The first one is now problems such as oil spills and dust storms are so widespread that they can hardly be confined to one single country or region. Thus, it is crucial that these problems be solved with international efforts. What is meant by this is each country and person should be made aware of their unique role in environment protection. The second reason why joint effort is essential is that each country has its own weaknesses in environmental protection. For instance, even though the industrialized countries possess advanced technology and the financial resources for environmental preservation, many of them cannot solve the serious problem of emission-induced climate change because reducing this problem may slow down their industrial production and lower their people’s comfort and convenience. Accordingly, nations and international organizations have their roles to play in ensuring that the rich countries fulfill their environmental obligations.

It is possible that in reality international cooperation in improving the environment may involve practical problems. For example, countries may have differing vies on environmental problems; therefore, to achieve consensus on the steps that they should take may take more time. But the willingness to join hands at least will put them on the right track in finding solutions.

In summary, my view is that more concerted efforts should be made by the international community before damage to the ecosystem becomes irreversible.
