科技类文章作为雅思写作常考以及必考的题目之一,曾经多次困扰考生,因为科技类话题一旦写不好就容易跑题,那么作为2022年的最后四个月的雅思考试,科技类话题作为常考难点,一定是考试考察的重点。
雅思写作之“高科技话题”你会写吗?
今天维诺廖老师和大家分享下拿到科技类话题如何破题?
我们先来看今年5月12日的一道写作真题:
第一部分:5月12日雅思写作大作文真题回顾
题目:Some topic believe using the modern technology(digital photographs, bogs) is the best way to record and remember important personal events. Others think the traditional method( making photo albums, writing diaries)is better. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
题目翻译:有些人认为使用现代科技(数码照片/博客)是记录和记住中套戈恩时间的最好方式。其他人认为传统的方法(制作相册,写日记)更好。讨论两种观点并给出你自己的想法。
考试难度:中等
题目类型:科技类+生活类(二元融合)
偏僻程度:常见类。
科技类题目追根溯源:
我们会发现此道题目实际上和之前很多的类型题目都重合,也就是雅思写作中经常运用的“子母题”替换。廖老师给大家梳理了下都有哪些“母题”题库中涉及到了科技类话题。
01
现代通讯科技
母题1:
People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people face-to-face. What are the effects of this on individuals and society as a whole?
这道题目是经典的科技类话题,因为这道无脸化交易的题目浓缩了网络购物、电视购物、网络银行,ATM自助银行、手机银行、电话会议、视频会议等多种话题,是大家必写的话题之一。
母题2:
Many employees may work at home with the modern technology. Some people claim that it can benefit only the workers, not the employers. Do you agree or disagree?
02
现代媒体(电视、电脑、手机)
母题1:
Some people believe that time spent on television, video and computer games can be valuable for children. Others believe this has negative effects on a child. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
母题2:
There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?
子题:
要不要鼓励儿童看电视?
看电视和玩游戏对小孩、家庭和社会有什么影响,怎样解决?
电脑不能帮助儿童学习,只会造成身心伤害,你同意吗?
如何鼓励老年人使用手机和电脑?
手机对于个人和社会的好处与坏处是什么?
Topic 12: There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What form do these problems take? Do problems of using mobile phones outweigh the benefits?
那么如何进行头脑风暴呢,我们可以从以下积分方面来分析手机所带来的问题以及负面影响:
手机所带来的问题和负面影响:
社会问题:在公共场所讲话声音大让人感觉不舒服(feel uncomfortable);
技术问题:信息可能会被第三方截取(intercept)或者偷听(eavesdrop in);
医疗问题:有可能增加患癌症的几率(increase the risk of suffering cancers);
安全问题:开车时打电话(talk on the phone while driving),导致交通事故的发生(correlation with road traffic accidents)
手机所带来的好处和正面影响:
丰富生活:除了发信息(send text messages)和语音留言(make voice calls)之外,手机还可以用 来浏览网页(Internet browsing)、听音乐(music playback),管理个人信息(personal organisers)、收发电子邮件(e-mail)、拍照(built-in cameras)、下载铃声(ringtones)、玩游戏 (games)和听广播(radio)等,由此丰富了人们的生活;
方便沟通:手机使人们可以随时随地进行联系;在有突发事件的时候(in the event of an emergency),手机可以通过信来确定人的位置 (locate trapped or injured people using the signals from their mobile phones)。
完成了头脑风暴的的分析,我们现在来看一下廖老师给大家写的一个开头背景陈述部分,大家注意去体会字里行间的词汇和句型运用。
Sample
Across the world, especially the wealthier parts, the mobile phone has taken the place of telephone as an electronic telecommunication device, with the majority of the adults, teenagers as well as even children possessing one respectively. As this technology has experienced its affinity to modern life in a diversity of aspects, its drawbacks, which can be seen from social, medical and technical perspectives, deserve people's greatest attention.
03
替代类话题
母题:
Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
这道题目入选母题是因为它结合了科技、文化和政府三大话题,非常值得一练。
子题:
图书馆要不要提供高科技媒体诸如电脑软件和DVD?
网络是否会取代博物馆和美术馆?
手机和电脑正在逐渐取代书信,你同意吗?
机器(机器人)取代人类工作,利弊如何?
网络教育是否会取代传统课堂?(提示:这部分话题与教育类话题结合,已被归入教育类)
04
其他科技话题(与社会、生活类话题结合)
题目:
飞机旅行只对富人有好处吗?
现代科技使人们失去创造力吗?
科技发展造成负面影响了吗?
科技发展是否拉大了贫富差距?
早期的科技是否比现在的科技影响更大?
科技改变了人们之间的关系了吗?
科技造成环境污染/使我们的生活变得更加复杂,我们是否要告别科技,过简单的生活?
