雅思寫作范文:網(wǎng)絡(luò)使我們失去交流能力
Task:More people are using mobile phones and computers to communicate. Therefore, people are losing the ability to communicate with each other face to face. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Sample answer:
Now you are benefiting from the use of mobile phone and the Internet as social interaction media, could you imagine what your daily lives would be without these inventions? Some people claim that individuals are gradually losing face-to-face communication skills. Nevertheless, from personal perspective, online communication cannot make people lose the ability of offline communication.
Apparently, excessive use of the Internet and mobile phones has been undermining our interpersonal relationship offline. Even during a face-to-face conversation, it is no rare thing that everyone is busy looking at his cell phones, neglecting his friends or families across the dinner table. In addition, it has become incredibly easy to contact each other electronically and share information instantly in social community. Gone are the days when people could only communicate via fixed telephone or writing letters which took several days to reach others. So no one is not crazy about smart phones and computers which boast cutting-edge functions like sharing photos and videos with more friends simultaneously.
In spite of the popularity of technological progress mentioned above, never should we turn a blind eye to the irreplaceablity of face-to-face communication. It is common that many schools impart knowledge to students by teaching in classrooms instead of distance education. The same is true of the cooperation among companies, which needs face to face conversation to acquire trust with each other in advance. Furthermore, although online contact may possess increasing numbers of friends, the permanence of mutual relationships cannot lack face-to-face interactions, which can be confirmed by the example of the closest friends and even loving couples. Besides, solving tricky issues are generally more effective and more convenient by surrounding colleagues or friends then by those who live and work in remote places and need online communication.
As far as social interaction is concerned, although the cell phone and the Internet have updated the lives of the current generation. People cannot forget how to make offline communication with each other.

雅思寫作范文:人人都能去南極
Task:Nowadays both scientists and tourists can go to remote natural environments such as the South Pole. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
Sample answer:
Unknown natural is always brimming with seductive scenery. Plenty of researchers and travelers make trips to distant natural places, such as the Mount Qomolangma, Antarctica and the North Pole. I am of the opinion that this has more disadvantages than advantages.
Discover of new areas always bring some irreparable destruction. Before the South Pole is in the sight of public, it was once an uncharted territory. Since its discovery, hundreds of explorers and scientists had taken adventures to this wilderness. At the same time, their scientific expedition may leave some geographical environment destruction there. And it is quite troublesome to make up such destruction.
Although travelers extremely enjoy the breathtaking natural landscape, they bring along tremendous risks. One of the most common phenomenon of travelers is producing pollution to local areas. As reported in many cases, holidaymakers have left behind tons of waste in the Antarctica over the last century. They will not only threaten the survival of many creatures, including endangered species such as penguins and seals, but also cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem.
In addition, we cannot avoid the fact that untouched environments are scientifically proved to have considerable oil and gas reserves. Currently, the world fuel supply is running out in the next fifty years, and no countries will help themselves from the temptation of these fuel resources. The greed of people will drive them to drain out the resource in these regions, and by then places like the South Pole will be truly deserted.
In conclusion, I confirm that travelling to virgin land will bring far more losses than gains.
雅思寫作范文:富國(guó)是否該幫助窮國(guó)
Task:Rich countries provide financial aid to poor countries but this aid has little effect, therefore rich countries should provide other types of help. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家向貧困國(guó)家提供財(cái)政援助,但這種援助效果甚微,因此富裕國(guó)家應(yīng)該提供其他類型的幫助。你在多大程度上同意這一說(shuō)法?
思路解析:
管自己的好處:
1. 國(guó)家的稅收和資源都是基于國(guó)內(nèi)大眾,所以國(guó)家必須首先對(duì)國(guó)內(nèi)問(wèn)題負(fù)責(zé),否則大眾會(huì)認(rèn)為遭到忽略和歧視,他們會(huì)推翻政府。
2. 國(guó)外問(wèn)題太多,缺乏監(jiān)管和法律,那些愛(ài)心捐款和物資有可能流入國(guó)外官僚的腰包,而沒(méi)有起到救助國(guó)外窮人的初始目的。
3. 我們國(guó)內(nèi)社會(huì)需要用錢的方面都已經(jīng)太多,錢用自家都不夠,捐助國(guó)外只會(huì)引起國(guó)內(nèi)弱勢(shì)群體的憤怒,增加社會(huì)犯罪類。
管他人的好處:
1. 很多國(guó)外的社會(huì)問(wèn)題都是過(guò)去我們國(guó)家的某些行動(dòng)導(dǎo)致的,如戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和侵略,所以我們因該對(duì)國(guó)外的貧窮負(fù)責(zé)。
2. 很多國(guó)外的問(wèn)題最終會(huì)影響到我們的社會(huì),比如說(shuō)索馬里海盜對(duì)于西方海運(yùn)的威脅。
3. 很多國(guó)際問(wèn)題是不分國(guó)界的,比如說(shuō)國(guó)外的環(huán)境污染和疾病會(huì)通過(guò)自然渠道流入我們國(guó)內(nèi)。
參考范文:
What kind of relief from rich countries should be given priority in terms of supporting developing countries? Some people think the best answer of this issue is simply money. Others, however, hold an opposed view that other practical aids, instead of finance, are a sound decision. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view, and I will explore possible reasons as below.
Firstly, the common root problem of developing countries is the collapsed administration and economy systems, and their recovery seriously depends on the transfusing of external capital. Firstly, financial aids allow a poor country to build up an effective government by paying salaries of governmental personnel without delay. With stable income, most officials would be satisfied and motivated to be fully in charge of social technical, executive and supervisory positions like courts of law, police stations, water and power supply departments and so forth, thus lifting the community out of street violence, crimes and living chaos. Besides, financial injection helps to restore the banking system, which means the availability of commercial loan with low interest for a large amount of companies eagerly needing money for material purchase, hiring workers and products manufacturing. Accordingly, what the capital input brings include vibrant industry and business, ever-increasing job opportunities and tax revenue for public welfare--in short, a booming social development on a right track.
Another reason for supporting financial aids is that money is always a favored kind of donation, because it gives recipients in poor countries a high flexibility to buy what they are really lack of. In fact, practical needs are always variable and unpredictable in different countries, people and times ,so that it is very likely that the common physical goods endowed from rich countries may not precisely suit demands of local regions. For example, as for Vietnam which suffers from wars for decades, surprisingly, any type of food aid from foreign countries is undesirable , for the reason that the yield of grain produced in this poor country can not only fully feed its people, but also be more than enough for food export. In contrast, if Vietnam were offered money directly, it will buy whatever it needs most from international markets, probably from public transportation to vaccines to school facilities. Therefore, straight money support is indispensable, its universal effectiveness is always superior over any other goods-based donation.
However, financial aids do not come without risks, and one of them is about their misuse. Obviously, in too many developing countries lacking democracy, public supervision, or accountability and transparency in government operation, there is a high possibility that the money might be appropriated for personal sake or even flow into the pocket of bureaucrats--corruption in short, expectedly. In addition, the most worrying aspect is that in poor countries in civil war, money will be misspent by warlords buying new weapons and bombs, instead of foodstuffs or medicines. Consequently, In cases above, the final application of financial support would depart from its initial charitable purpose, and it will make social poverty worse, not better.
Moreover, when it comes to healthy and sustainable growth, there are more to require for a poor country than just buying stuffs by money. Specifically, the acquirement of core factors that have lasting and fundamental impacts on the society, such as qualified teachers, doctors, lawyers and scientists, cannot be achieved by buying, but rather by systematic training and teaching. In other words, non-financial aids from developed countries are also necessary. For example, professional teams containing experts in all kinds of fields from science to medication, from law to social work, should be sent in poor countries for the purpose of educating their future talents. What is more, observers from rich countries should also join the running of local government, which ensures that all kinds of benefaction can be allocated to the public fairly.
In conclusion, financial aids are always needed as the first step for economy revival. To a larger extent, however, money is very limited and even risky, and other practical helps, especially the ones associated with human resources, should be introduced into poor countries.
