Growth in air travel harms environment(飞行增多危害环境) Climate change experts from the Tyndall Climate Research Centre in Britain have said urgent action（紧急行动）is needed to curb the rapid growth in air travel（抑制飞行的快速增长）if the government is to meet its commitments（实现承诺）on tackling global warming（处理温室效应）. This report from Stephen Evans: Falling ticket price and rising incomes are leading to rapid growth in global air travel.（导致国际航空业迅速发展的原因是机票价格的下降和收入水平的提升。）According to the British government, the number of British air passengers, for example, will more than double in the next quarter of a century（下一个25年）. Increases of such an order would mean much more aviation fuel（燃油）being burned and aviation fuel may be more harmful to the environment than other fuels because the resulting smoke is emitted at high altitudes（高海拔）. A group of scientists at the environmental research group, the Tyndall Centre, says that if Britain is to meet its overall target for cutting damaging emissions（减少有害气体排放）, other uses of fuel like for heating homes or driving cars would have to be cut dramatically. The British government wants the use of aviation fuel covered by international agreement on the environment. The difficulty for any individual government（任何政府）is that taxing fuel used at its own airports might push airlines to move their operations to competing airports in other countries. https://www.sodocs.net/doc/483203298.html,/worldservice/learningenglish/newsenglish/witn/2005/09/050921_aviation.sh tml Calls to control low-cost flights（限制廉价航空） Cheap flights（廉价航空）on no frills airlines may not be a burden on our wallets but they will dearly cost the UK's environment（严重危害环境）, campaigners believe.

雅思写作素材Crime

Crime 类范文 犯罪类 There are an increasing number of juvenile delinquents. What are the causes of this phenomenon? 只分析一个方面（产生原因），写成5段式 开头段（不少于4句） In this day and age, the incidence of juvenile offenses has been growing at an alarming rate. Today, the sheer number of juvenile offenders has reached staggering proportions. A recent survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences revealed that one out of four crimes today was carried out by minors. Hence, it is imperative that we pinpoint the causes of this disturbing phenomenon. 主体段1（不少于4句） In the first place, many instance of juvenile delinquency have been attributed to the violent or pornographic content of some TV shows and video games. Now we are facing a proliferation of blood and guts and nudity on TV, the computer and the Internet. Many youngsters, especially boys, get addicted to such scenes. Lacking the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong, they develop criminal tendencies. 主体段2（不少于4句） In the second place, parental neglect and domestic violence play a pivotal role in the increase of youth crimes. Today there are an ever-growing number of dysfunctional families. The children raised in such families tend to be afflicted with constant fear. In the end, they develop a hatred for society and other individuals. 主体段3（不少于4句） In the third place, there is a definite correlation between the increase of juvenile crime rate and the rise of adult crime rate in society. The more adult crimes, the higher the probability of youngsters falling prey to adult offenders. Many youths are tempted by evil adults into committing crimes. And some others are victims of adult offenses and become criminals themselves to get their revenge on society. 结尾段（不少于2句） In sum, many factors contribute to the surge of juvenile delinquency. It is crucial that we take vigorous measures to tackle these problems and ensure that the future or our nation—that is, the youngsters, have a more promising future ahead of them. Crime 类8分范文 Some people think the media should not report details of crimes to the public. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 一边倒写法=写完全同意或者完全不同意：五段式 开头段（不少于4句） With the crime rate hovering at high level, the print media as well as the electronic media dedicate large proportions of their space or airtime to detailed crime coverage. Whether the media should present detailed accounts of crimes has triggered spirited debate. Many assert that the news media should stop giving details of crimes. Speaking for myself, I totally agree with their views. 表示同意可以替换成approve of /wholeheartedly support/ cannot agree with their view more/ consent to/ am for 不同意可以替换成disagree with/ am against/ am opposed to / object to/ disapprove of/ cannot go along with 主体段1（不少于4句） In the first place, given the mercenary motives behind most detailed crime coverage, it is imperative that we discourage such coverage. The principal purpose of reporter covering criminal acts is to boost newspaper circulations or television ratings; much detailed crime coverage is biased or exaggerated. It only serves to leave a multitude of citizens constantly fearful about crime. 主体段2（不少于4句） In the second place, detailed reports of crimes by the press afford the potential criminals very useful learning materials. Reporting crimes in graphic detail helps those who are in the process of plan some criminal act to perfect their plans. Drawing on the well-documented crime stories in the media, would-be criminals learn how to avoid the mistakes in their crime. And this may aggravate the already soaring crime rate. 主体段3（不少于4句） In the third place, detailed reports of heinous crimes may traumatize the victims of the reported crimes. The reporters rarely consult the victims before they describe details of horrific crimes to the public. Hence, such reports become nothing more than an attempt to satisfy the curiosity of some base minds. Without

雅思写作素材-动物实验

Animal 类 范文 Some people think animal experimentation should be stopped because it is cruel. Others think it is necessary for the development of science. Discuss both view and give your own opinion. Animals were friend of foes of humanity at different times of the human history. In modern times, experiments upon animals have long been a breeding ground for spirited debate. Some animal right activists argue that we should ban animal experiments altogether because putting animals through experimentation is unjustifiable on moral grounds. Yet some other people contend that the advancement of science necessitates animal testing. Personally, I believe both their views have merit and demerit. Granted, empirical evidence suggests that many animal experiments are performed callously without any attention to the discomfort or pain that laboratory mammals endure. First and foremost, improper confinement of test animals such as locking them up in cramped cages is inhumane. It can gravely disrupt natural biological functions of the test animal. Further, the effects of vaccination and vivisection conducted on live mammals can be chilling. They may, in some case, even constitute sheer torture of live animals. However, from a more pragmatic perspective, evidence bounds that animal subjects are still an indispensable part at this point. In the first place, it is manifest that drug experimentation on live mammals is far more effective than experimentation on bacteria or on other lower species in testing drug safety. Drugs that have severe potential side effects on Homo sapiens must be tested by pharmaceutical companies on live mammals first to ascertain their toxicity. In the second place, in space research, live animals are still the only practical alternative to humans in testing living creature reaction to outer-space experience on a flight not considered to be sufficiently safe for human astronauts. Lastly, lab research about the behavioral tendencies of chimpanzees, gorillas and other members of the primate group is also necessary. It produces outcomes consistently advancing anthropological and genetic studies. To conclude, I concede that experiments upon animals may induce suffering to the test animals. However, I am convinced that there are no feasible alternatives to this methodology at the current stage of scientific development. On balance, I think that we should allow animals testing to be continued but at the same time we use techniques such as anesthetic to minimize the pain of the test animal.

雅思大作文专项突破：追随时尚

雅思大作文专项突破：追随时尚 本文收集整理了雅思大作文专项突破：追随时尚。这是目前常见的、高频的雅思写作话题，同学们在备考时可以边写边学，积累写作素材，以便在考试中更胸有成竹。 Topic 24: Fashion is difficult to follow, and some people argue that we should not follow it. They think that we should dress what we like and feel comfortable. Do you agree or disagree? 解析: 支持追随潮流(following fashion)的观点： ? 时装是自我表达( a means of self-expression)的一种休现，表现人的性格和喜好(reflect one's personality or likes)，让人们在生活巾体验不同角色(allow people to try on many roles in life)，同时便世界更加丰富多彩(diversity and variety of the world in which we live); ? 新时代的时尚(fashion in the new era)并不一定意味着高消费，也并非一定穿某种款式的衣服才算时尚;

? 时装源于生活(root in daily life),反映生活趋势(reflect that life)，充分考虑了消费者的需求C consider consumer demand)，不像人们想的那样肤浅(not as superficial as some people think) 反对追随潮流(following fashion )的观点： ? 潮流变化太快，盲目追求潮流(follow fashion blindly)是浪费时间和金钱; ? 失去了自己的喜好和判断(dwell too much on what others think); ? 鼓励人们将衣服和地位、社会阶层还有财富联系在一起(associate clothing with status, social class and wealth),这是一种歧视。 范文 Fashion refers to a style of clothing worn by most people of a country. The growing concern about fashion in recent years comes as no surprise, considering the fact that fashion is very often at odds with the traditional function of clothing, protecting wearers from the extremes of weather. In my opinion, fashion is not a betrayal but an indicative of a principle that wearing clothing is for both functional and social reasons. Fashions are linked to personal style. Fashions allow wearers to express emotion and solidarity with other people. People dress to their mood and according to circumstances. Buying fashionable clothes is a

雅思写作素材Technology & media

Technology & media 类 科技类 People today can perform the everyday tasks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to-face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole? 开头段（不少于3+1句） The interactivity of the Internet and the mobile phone has enabled a multitude of people to purchase their desired items or pay their phone bills without stepping out of their offices or homes. And many others can even register for tests or sign contracts online. This sweeping trend of going about everyday business in the virtual world has triggered a marked decline in face-to-face contact between people. Thus, it is essential that we identify the implication of this trend on both individuals and society as a whole. 主体段1（不少于1+6句） The impact of this phenomenon on individuals is profound. First, Individual efficiency in business transaction and banking will be greatly enhanced. And those who dread shopping are spared the chore of browsing around in shops. Secondly, the increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailment. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension. Thirdly, the absence of face-to-face contact may induce distrust between business partners. An inherent sense of disbelief is apt to ruin a telecommunicated negotiation when negotiators can only see videos of each other transmitted via the Internet. 主体段2（不少于1+6句） This trend also has widespread repercussions on society as a whole. In the first place, the burgeoning e-commerce will, doubtless, boost corporate efficiency immeasurably. And higher efficiency means more earnings and less costs for businesses. In the second place, online fraud, be it banking or trading, retail or wholesale, is sure to abound in the cyberspace. We must search for practicable and effectual means of curbing it. In the third place, the proliferation of e-commerce may exacerbate man's overdependence on technology. And that can render our lives unspontaneous and our tempo of life too fast and furious. 结尾段（不少于2句）

雅思写作语料库父母角色差异的原因及未来作用

In some countries，the role of a mother differs in some ways from the role of a father. Why do you think these differences exist? How might parental roles develop in the future? 在一些国家，父母在教育孩子中扮演的角色，和很多方面，是不同的，为何存在这种差异，在未来父母的角色会有哪些变化? 【名师点评】 新题出现，恒热教育，谈及父母对于孩子成长中影响差异的原因，展望父母在孩子未来成长中作用的不同，不属分析问题解决问题话题，考察头脑风暴，写作有一定难度。 预测题目中的寒门贵子还是将门虎子，是否所有的父母都应该学习育儿课程，和本场考试都有交集。 【思路拓展】 男性比较理性和阳刚，女性比较感性和温柔，因此，他们对于孩子成长的影响自然不同，一般而言，孩子会从爸爸身上学到坚毅和勇敢，会从妈妈身上学会善良和孝道。骨血相连，血浓于水，无论父母，对于孩子的教育和引导都是积极的善意的。爸爸努力赚钱，是为孩子赢一个成长环境，妈妈努力育儿，是让孩子明辨是非、行为规范。 教育这个词的本源是说将一个人从一种蒙昧的无知的状态中引导出来，教育应该涉及道德教育、性格培养、学术教育等。

教育不能颠覆：道德教育和性格培养应该优先于学术成长，先重品质和品行，后重成绩和选择。如果可以畅想未来，父爱如山，为人父，应该树立标杆，让孩子学会志存高远，不懈奋斗。母爱如水，为人母，应该树立标杆，让孩子学会海纳百川，清澈纯净。 【范文赏析】 【首段】背景介绍+ 写作目的 Parents are the initial teachers of their children, thereby, their speeches and behaviors, to a larger extent, exert a subtle influence on children’s character-training and future development. The impacts that parents impose on their kids might differ greatly due to various reasons. This essay aims to explore where the differences lie in and how parental roles will change in the future. 【解析】 1. Their speeches and behaviors, to a larger extent, exert a subtle influence on children’s character-training and future development. 父母的言行举止，在很大程度上，对于孩子的性格培养和未来发展有潜移默化的影响。
