2012雅思真题提纲练习范文集

Some people believe the government should pay for public libraries in every town, while others think it is a waste of money as we can access information from Internet.

Discuss the both views and give your own opinion.

Establishing public libraries in every city tends to be increasingly prevalent in a substantial number of countries. While some people believe it beneficial to a wide range of people, others contend it is a proposal of sinking money due to the popularity of Internet. I will explore this question and the detailed analysis will be made in the following essay.

Some people are in favour of the idea that the government should set up public libraries in each town. For one thing, public libraries enable people all over the nation to keep learning constantly. They could encourage the general public to read and therefore cultivate people’s reading interests. For another, the reputation of the whole country would be enhanced by this investment. A wide range of impoverished people who could hardly afford to read will own a higher possibility to access books, which will inevitably reduce the proportion of illiterates and will help to promote the image of the nation.

Others maintain that the money will be wasted if governments pay for libraries in each town since people can freely log on Internet to acquire information. Actually, the prevalence of computer and Internet could hardly reach such a high level where all family either own a computer or can get access to the internet easily at present. And it is the poor who really need the help from the government that can barely afford a computer nor know how to surf online. Under this circumstance, hardly could the poor change their fate without public libraries.

My view is that public libraries should be established in each town, especially those impoverished ones where more than one ought to be funded. Prevalent as Internet is, not every household could afford the computer or surf the internet freely, and therefore public library seems the best choice currently.

Nowadays it is widely accepted that social skills are as important as good qualifications.

Do you agree or disagree?

Traditionally, academic qualifications are considered as an important factor for people to succeed in future careers. Nowadays, some people claim that social skills are equally important as academic qualifications. Personally, I agree with this viewpoint to some extent.

On one hand, the importance of academic qualifications can never be exaggerated. Academic qualifications reflect a person's academic background and professional experience since they cannot be obtained without many years of diligent study or continuous practice. A case in point is that many companies require job-hunting candidates to possess a certain level of qualification, which is used for the evaluation of their knowledge and skills. Some people may argue that a qualification is not the only criteria and, in some cases, it may lead to prejudice and wrong judgment. But the qualification is still an important standard when other information is not available.

On the other, apart from qualifications, people have become increasingly aware of the importance of social skills. First, a person with sophisticated social skills will find it favourable and comfortable to work with others. Sound relationship with colleagues enhances the efficiency in workplaces, giving people more sense of satisfaction. By contrast, if people do not know how to get along with their workmates, they would suffer from extra stress in their work. Second, social skills help people to enlarge

the circle of friends and enrich their lives. With a positive attitude towards making friends with others, one would be able to deal with all kinds of challenges in his or her daily life.

To summarize, when people are becoming more and more interdependent, one cannot succeed only with his or her qualification. To communicate and cooperate with others has become an essential part of our life and therefore necessary social skills should not be ignored.

Many people fail to achieve a balance between work and the other parts of life.

What causes the situation? How to overcome this problem? Nowadays many adults are busy with their full-time jobs and ignore the other parts of life. It is urgent to identify the underlying root causes and adopt proactive approaches.

A variety of factors are responsible for the phenomenon, especially the intense work competition and high living cost. First, competition is getting increasingly fierce in workplaces as the urban population keeps rising and those who are not competent for their jobs may be laid off. Under so much pressure, many people have no choice but to focus on their work, therefore remaining little time for leisure or exercise. Second, in many cities, the living cost is pretty high, bringing about a heavy burden on city residents. To survive and fight for a better life, people have to work overtime to cover the daily expenditure. As a result, their life becomes monotonous and their health declines.

There is no doubt that the imbalance has caused negative impacts on people's physical and psychological health and this situation needs to be changed. To begin with, people should be more aware of the consequence of failing to remain the balance between work and life. They should learn to allocate a certain proportion of time to stay with their family members, or for exercise. Furthermore, the government needs to control the living cost to ensure citizens’quality of life and construct more facilities for people to relax and enjoy their spare time.

As suggested above, this unpleasant phenomenon can be attributed to two main factors, the intense work competition and high living cost. The individuals are supposed to enlighten and enhance the awareness of happy and healthy lifestyle to avoid the negative influence of daily competition, and the government should take more effective measures to control the living cost.

It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than young people in many countries in the future.

Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

At present, along with the advance of medical technology and social security, the phenomenon that there are an increasing number of old people in society seems an inevitable trend. Whether the aging will greatly benefit or negatively impact our society has always been a debatable question. As far as I am concerned, it is a negative trend and the detailed analysis will be made in the following essay.

The demerits of aging problem are obvious. In the first place, fiscal burden of government may be substantially aggravated as much more pension will be offered than ever before with the number of the elderly accumulating. As a consequence, the budget which should have been invested in other aspects, such as infrastructure construction, national defence and education, may be abated. In the second place, taking care of more senior citizens tends to exert undue pressure on youngsters who have endure plenty of stress due to increasingly drastic competition in their work or study, which may play a detrimental role in their physical and mental health. In the end, so vulnerable and weak are old people that the consequent medical resource shortage may occur.

Admittedly, under no circumstance should we ignore the merits of aging. Some people may assert that the increased proportion of the old will boost the development of related industries, such as rest homes. However, they seem to fail to take into account the fact that so anxious do their children feel about the living conditions and service quality of those rest homes that most of them will refuse to send their parents to there.

To conclude, I reassert my view that the boom of aging is a negative development as it will hinder the advancing of society in various aspects. Therefore, effective measures are suggested to be implemented by government.

News media are important in modern society.

Why are they so important? Are their influences generally positive or negative?

In today's world, we are surrounded by various kinds of news media, which have become an essential part of our daily life. I believe the news media mainly play two important roles in modern society: providing information and influencing decision, and the influence is generally positive.

Obviously, news media are important to individuals and companies. For one thing, thanks to journalists' work, people can get sufficient information and be more involved in social affairs than ever before. For example, when natural disasters happen, news media can convey the first-hand message to the public, and then general public can donate aid for victims immediately. For another, by paying close attention to the information posted on news media, companies listed on the stock exchange can adjust their operation modes and investment strategies to enlarge their assets and enrich their investors.

Admittedly, the news from different news media is often presented to us in certain ways, using specific words to try to control our feelings and thoughts. Very often, the news media portrays people in simplistic ways, giving us some facts, but not the whole story. This is somewhat inevitable, because the editors, journalists and owners of the news media have opinions and biases. However, people can check news stories from different sources instead of only using one source to avoid the prejudice.

To sum up, news media provide the factual information giving individuals and companies the chance to take better actions and make better decisions. Despite the fact that the news media might report events incorrectly or with bias, I believe the general influence is good.

The tendency that news reports focus on the problems and emergencies rather than positive development is harmful to individual and to society.

To what extent do you agree or disagree.

In today’s world, we are surrounded by various kinds of news reports, which have become an essential part of our daily life. Some people believe that news media should focus on the positive development of the society instead of the negative side. In my point of view, news reports should be objective and unbiased, even if they may be harmful or helpful to individual and to society. The tendency of reporting bad news may be harmful to general public and to society. There is a widespread concern that excessive reports on problems may result in ordinary people’s panic. For instance, when people are exposed to reports on crimes too often, they tend to lack sense of security and be in a blind panic. What makes things worse is that the detailed description of the crime cases may cause social instability. If people become over-cautious, they may lose their trust on other people and it is difficult for them to develop a harmonious interpersonal relationship with others.

Despite the concern mentioned above, we should not ignore the fact that the tendency of reporting on problems and emergencies contributes to the solution of social problems. First of all, these reports draw people’s attention to some serious and urgent iss ues. For example, when a country suffers from war or natural disasters, the international community will reach their hands immediately to help the victims after seeing the news reports. Also, negative reports urge the government to reflect on the deficiency of their administration and make an effort to improve their work. One case that happened in the past few decades is that in some cities the living standard of the poor was highly raised after their situation was revealed by the media.

In conclusion, news reports on the dark side of society cannot be avoided and in most cases they help to solve social problems and promote the development of society. Therefore, we should be aware that there is no need to over-react to the negative reports. (333 words)

Some people think that it is a waste of time for individuals to plan the future and it is more important to focus on present.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

There has long been a debate on whether we should plan our future or just focus on the present. In my point of view, the two sides are not contradictory and both are needed if we want to be successful.

The importance of planning for future can never be doubted. First, plans serve as guidelines for people to achieve success. Once people have set clear goals, they tend to devote themselves to pursue these goals, regardless of hardships in their way. If they

are unclear about what they hope to do and why, they are likely to get disoriented when in difficulty. Moreover, in the fast-changing world, it is necessary to anticipate problems in advance and get well-prepared for them. For example, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce in the commercialized society and those entrepreneurs with far-sight and vision are usually in an advantageous position to win more market share.

Although planning future is encouraged, to seize the present is the key to fulfil the plans. If people do not put any effort into their plans, the goal will never change into reality automatically. However, a large number of people seem to be blind to this fact. It is not uncommon to see people who are indulged in daydreaming but never take any action. Their planning for future is nothing but a waste of time, as they never implement the plans, or maybe they get started with enthusiasm and ambition but give up half way. Therefore, planning without action would be neither attractive nor productive.

To sum up, setting plans for future increases the likelihood of success, but the precondition is that people should convert their plans into real action.

Humans should not use animals as sources of food and clothing. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this view?

In recent years animal protection has become a heated topic and some people hold the opinion that we should not use animals for food or clothing any more. As far as I am concerned, it is unrealistic not to use animals for the wellbeing of mankind at the present.

As we know, meat is an important part of people’s daily diet in most of the world, providing a variety of nutrients that are difficult to obtain from vegetables and fruits. It has been proved that balanced diets containing a certain quantities of meat are essential for people to enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases. Besides, animals are a major source of clothes for people living in some frigid areas or in a cold climate, who would not be able to survive if they abandon animals’ fur.

Admittedly, living without using animals as sources of food and clothing sounds possible and could be advocated since the continuous scientific advancement and discovery of alternatives can provide people with plenty of substitutes. However, the substitution may not work since the custom of human being has remained for centuries and cannot be altered easily. What’s more, the safety of the substitutes cannot be ensured, which may arouse suspicion or even panic among general public.

To sum up, although we still have to sacrifice animals for human’s benefits, we should try our best to reduce or minimize the consumption of animal’s fur and meat. Besides, it could be better if some effective measures can be taken to protect endangered animals to avoid the overuse of animal resources.

When visiting foreign countries, some people think it is advantageous to learn their cultures and traditions.

How do you think people should learn other cultures and traditions? Why some people are interested in learning those traditions and cultures while others not?

Travelling abroad has been gaining popularity due to the boom of tourism industry. It is necessary to learn different cultures and traditions during the visiting and figure out why some people can develop an appreciation of cultural differences.

Learning other cultures and traditions is essential for travellers. First, it can avoid offending local people. If tourists imitate locals’ behaviour, particularly in areas where there are various kinds of customs related to religion, they will prevent misunderstanding and be safe. Second, it helps the foundation of close relationship with the local friends. Making an effort to learn the proper behaviours and social customs can ensure the communication, and visitors

can make local friends easily and enjoy their trips with the new friends by showing the respect for the local culture.

The reason why people have different attitudes toward other cultures and traditions lies in their different travel purpose. For some people, who are interested in learning background information about a country, the aim is probably to enlighten the minds or enrich the experience. Therefore, they are willing to learn different things. For others, the goal of the journey is psychological relaxation or physical refreshment, and they just want to release pressure by viewing the different landscapes. Thus, they tend to feel comfortable by following their own habits and routine, and regard learning new things is too difficult.

In conclusion, visiting a foreign country can be a rewarding experience if we are open-minded and knowledge-conscious toward any different culture, but it is also reasonable to get well prepared for the trip by consulting travel agency regarding the taboo.

Advertising encourages people to buy in quantity rather than promoting its quality.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Whether we like or not, we are bombarded by all kinds of advertisements, which affect our buying decisions, consciously or unconsciously. Some people hold the opinion that advertisements help to increase the sales of products, but contribute little to the quality. Actually, my response to the opinion is partly to accept and partly refuse.

There is no denying that advertisements tremendously boost the sales of goods and stimulate consumption. Some companies produce advertisements with famous singers and actors. As a result, people, particularly teenagers, buy these products just because they favour these entertainment stars and they want to share something in common with their idols. Some advertisements are designed attractively, making it hard for people to resist their appeal. Therefore, some people buy a great number of products impulsively after they watch the advertisements.

Indeed, the majority of advertisements present the excellent quality of the products and the good image of producers, which are always the main concerns to consumers when making a decision on facing a large variety of goods in the market. For the companies which focus on the quality control and technique improvement, they will be supported by customers, and capture more markets. For those companies that rely on deceptive and misleading advertisements rather than high quality, they cannot survive for long.

In conclusion, advertising industry plays a significant role in the commercial society. Although it encourages people to buy more products, we have to admit that advertising also motivates manufacturers to improve the quality of their products.

Many people think arts like painting and music cannot directly improve people's quality of life; therefore, government should spend money on other things.

Do you agree or disagree?

In this essay, I will explain why I think that arts can directly improve people’s quality of life and that the government should spend money on them.

The arts clearly make people’s lives better. Paintings, photographs and other pictures add colour to our lives and often inspire people to create works of art of their own. I am not only thinking of artistic works produced by renowned artists, but also those produced by children at kindergarten for their parents to attach to refrigerators using magnets. Music also obv iously improves people’s lives. Many of us find it relaxing. Others like to go to clubs and dance to it with their friends. Others get more involved and form bands or become DJs and create their own tunes.

Many people feel that the government should spend money only on certain things, such as defence, health and education. Whilst I agree that these things are important, I think that governments should be able to find a little money to spend on arts, not only because they raise our quality of life, but because they can remind us of our heritage and show the world what kind of a country and people we are. I think that the recent Olympic Opening Ceremony in London is a perfect example of this. It achieved worldwide praise and served as a reminder of how British artists and entertainers have contributed to the worlds of music, film, television and culture.

To summarize, I think that it is certain that arts can make people’s lives better, significantly better in many cases. Therefore, the government should ensure that a small part of its spending goes towards this field which contributes to our lives.

Some people think personal happiness is directly related to economic success, while others believe this depends on other factors.

Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Happiness is difficult to define, because people interpret it in so many different ways. Some people associate it with fortune and wealth, while others believe that happiness lies in other factors. There is no denying that being successful in earning money would give people a strong sense of satisfaction, particularly in a material world, where money is considered to be the key criteria to evaluate a person’s career development. The possession of fortune makes it possible for people to enjoy more comfort and convenience in their lives. For instance, rich people can choose to have a romantic dinner in a luxurious restaurant, or spend a vacation in a summer resort with their families.

However, it seems that many rich people are not as happy as we think them should be. Personal happiness cannot be guaranteed by fortune and there are other factors that are more important than material things. For example, those who love their jobs tend to feel happy, even though their salary is moderate. Their happiness derives from their passion for their work and their awareness of the value of their work. In addition, the quality of people’s relationships also determines the degree of happiness. Harmonious relationship within a family and genuine friendship would make people happy, and these cannot be obtained through spending money.

In my opinion, economic success does not necessarily lead to personal happiness. To achieve happiness, one should be aware of what he or she wants and know how to pursue it. There are so many factors that contribute to the happiness, among which the most important one is to develop a positive attitude towards life. (272 words)

Advertising discourages people from becoming different individuals by all want to be and to look the same.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

As advertising has penetrated into every aspect of our lives, there is a viewpoint that people are losing their individuality because they watch the same advertisements and buy the same goods.

In my opinion, advertising undoubtedly affects people’s decision-making in their daily consumption. First, as most consumers have little professional knowledge about the goods, they tend to believe what they see and hear from the mass media. When a piece of advertisement appears in every corner of our lives, people are likely to be brainwashed and may lose their own judgment. Moreover, it is human nature to follow the trend. In this fast-changing world, many people worry that they are out of fashion, which is often taken advantage of by some advertisement designers to boost the sales of their products.

However, it is too early to come to the conclusion that this world would become the same as a result of advertising campaign. Firstly, people’s purchasing power and buying habits depend on their economic conditions, so it is hard to say that advertising would prompt people to make the final decision. Secondly, the competition among manufactures would motivate them to launch new products that are different from their rivals and this would contribute to the diversity of commodities. If consumers are faced with multiple choices, many of them would choose the products which suit their own individuality best.

To sum up, advertising would definitely generate various groups who use the same brands and types of products, but there is no need to worry about the loss the diversity in the commercialized world.

2015年雅思写作大作文真题解析

2015年6月6日雅思写作（一） 题目类别society 提问方式Discussion 考试题目 Some people prefer to provide help and support directly to those in their local community who need it. Others, however prefer to give money to national and international charitable organizations. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 有人认为给需要救助的人自己的帮助更加可取，有人认为给有需求的国家或国际援助组织提供经济援助更加重要，讨论两种观点，给出你的意见。 Although people in industrialized countries lead a high standard of living, it is undeniable that there are still 1.2 billion people living below the poverty line. In order to solve poverty-related problems, I feel that all kinds of help should be encouraged and respected. Giving a helping hand to those who are in need in the local community seems reasonable. It is because even in the richest countries, there are still a lot of people, such as disabled people and orphanages, suffering from famine and extreme poverty. For this reason, it is easy and convenient for us to help our fellow citizens, such as donating food or clothing to them, so that we can see the result of our actions immediately. By contrast, it is rather difficult to track expenditure of international aids, which might result in corruption in some cases. Those who donate money to domestic and international charities believe that the collection of money has a tremendous effect on the poor countries compared with other forms of help. This is because few people are able to donate a large amount of money to construct schools, hospitals and roads in poor areas. Instead, governments and charities can achieve this. International aids can also purchase vaccines which are available in developed countries by using the money raised worldwide and save millions children’s life. In my view, minor proportion of donated money and other sorts of help should be appreciated equally as long as the money reaches to those who need it desperately. The government could run campaign and encourage door-to door help. At the same time, charitable organizations should make every penny count for donors.(word count：274)

2019年雅思考试巩固模拟试题及答案1

2019年雅思考试巩固模拟试题及答案1 Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief, continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag, 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007, though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted, not immobilised, by this setback. D. In 2007 the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome, its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it

2019年12月17日雅思大作文真题及范文 Task：Some people think getting old is entirely bad, but other people do think it’s much better for old people to live now than in the past. Please show your idea with explanation, examples and your knowledge. Sample answer： It has become a common phenomenon for people in a number of countries to enjoy an increasing life expectancy. While some people believe it is horrible just to imagine getting old , I think the situation has completely changed comparing to decades ago and now elderly people can lead a happy life. In some cases, the seniors do experience empty nest syndrome because their children are away from home. However, things are different nowadays. There are numerous residential homes with trained carers in a country and they have become a perfect place for the elderly to stay after retirement, where the elderly will not feel lonely and bored with the company of their peers. Another concern for numerous senior citizens is the health problem. In the past, without advanced medical science, the seniors tend to suffer from various kinds of diseases, which decrease their quality of life at great extent. By contrast, the medical science is developing at an amazing speed and this trend can at least delay the onset of some chronic conditions and with healthy body, the elderly can enjoy happier lives.

2017雅思A类写作大作文真题范文

2017雅思A类写作大作文真题范文 1.07 教育类 Task：Art classes, like painting and drawing, are not as important as other subjects, so some people think that it should not be a compulsory subject at high school. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Schools are places where students acquire knowledge and skills needed for further achievements. Given the pressure that students are facing, some cannot help wondering whether art classes should still be compulsory. Those holding the view that art classes should not be compulsory might think that art consumes too much of students' time. Fierce competitions students will face when applying for universities necessitate total devotion to academic subjects. College students who intend to take science as their major are even expected to be fluent in foreign languages now so that essays written by foreign scholars are not barriers in their academic pursuit. In other words, high school students are supposed to show higher levels of academic competence,which seemingly makes art unessential. However, art classes are by no means only intended for entertainment. Children even dabbling in art tend to be more creative in mind. Those skilled in music or painting can interpret the world in a way that we cannot expect from a layman. This kind of ingenuity is also a rare quality constantly found in great scientists, whose contributions have served to create a totally new field for the latter generations. In his reply to a question about death, Albert Einstein considered his departure from the mortal world to be forever farewell to another great musician. With a sigh he answered "I cannot listen to Mozart anymore". Thus, can we simply regard art classes to be selective?
