考鸭们都知道,2018年的雅思作文真题都来自于历史题库。本文就为大家梳理历年雅思写作真题范文——社会类话题:Some people think that the amount of noise people make have to be controlled strictly, others say that people are free to make as much as they wish. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.——2015年1月17日雅思写作真题
2015年1月第二场的题目已经出炉,烤鸭们最关心的雅思写作大作文是一道“新瓶装旧酒”的题目:Some people think that the amount of noise people make have to be controlled strictly, others say that people are free to make as much as they wish. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. 这道题目整体难度略高,核心思路是考察考生对于个人自由(可随意制造噪音)和社会约束(政府通过立法管控噪音)之间的矛盾,需要考生具备比较深刻的思辨能力和社会认知。而追溯题源,我们可以在2008年、2011年和2014年分别找到相似考点的题目如下:
1) 2008.10.11 Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free to do whatever they wanted. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
2) 2014.8.9是2011.7.30原题重现,围绕危险体育运动到底是个人自由选择还是政府管控这个问题而设问:2014.8.9 = 2011.7.30 Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports. While, others argue that people should have freedom to choose whatever sports games they want. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion?
通过以上几道题目,可以看出雅思考试出题前后因循的规律,这也更加提示考生,在对以往雅思写作机经加以利用的时候,多注意归纳题目之间的核心考点,方能在考场上以不变应万变,斩获高分。现笔者就这道题的核心考点,做一些分析:
结构:关于discuss both views and give your own opinion这类题目之所以如此设问,很多时候是因为正反双方都具备一定道理,不好倾向一方。而观察剑七Test1和剑八Test1的大作文,两道题目都是用DG类设问题目,此时给出的官方满分范文,都是说正反双方均有道理,只是在不同时期或者不同领域各有侧重,属于双方都部分支持的结构。因而DG类题目,考生完全可以写成五五分,立场为双方都有道理即可。
本题正方:个人制造噪音是个人自由
理由:个人选择制造噪音是个人权力和自由(personal freedom),如晚上举办聚会、假期和家人朋友打牌、看电视节目等。
People who argue against rules and regulations of controlling noise may insist that as others have rights to rest, they should be allowed to hold some leisure activities at midnight, such as playing card games with their family members on Chinese New Year or having house parties with their friends, which should be regarded as personal freedom.
本题反方:社会约束是为了保障更多人的利益
理由:噪音影响人们身体健康(physical health),工作效率(work efficiency)以及可能会引发邻里之间的矛盾,并且政府有责任(have obligation to)营造一个舒适良好的社会环境(a favorable environment),因而需要加以管控。
简短示例:
By contrast, there are some opposite voices. If citizens lived in a noisy community, then they would be unlikely to sleep soundly and to refresh themselves before the next working day, which may weaken their physical fitness and decrease work efficiency. In addition, local council has obligation to create a favorable environment for its citizens and to maintain the community quiet and comfortable in this respect.
经过以上分析,考生可以看出,其实个人自由与社会约束的题目并不难,需要考生充分细化自己的论据,把个人制造噪音的合理情况,进行详细列举,因而给考官以具体的感知,即,制造噪音在一些场合是完全可以被接受的;相反,政府的职责方面,政府有责任营造安静、宜居的社会环境,需要对其点题,以论证社会约束的必要性。而文章结尾,可以略加详细地把两方面加以综合考量,提出在不影响邻居休息的情况下,人们可以自由制造声响,尊重个人自由,然而如果邻里之间由于噪声发生矛盾,或者某些施工项目严重打扰到当地人民的生活作息,政府也有权力禁止这些噪声的发出。
Have you ever annoyed by unexpected intrusions of noise that prevents your peaceful trips. Have you exposed to bursts of noise when you work on one task. Have you felt tired of living with chronic city noise day after day.I believe every individual prefer a peaceful and quiet environment to a noisy one.
你是否曾因意想不到的干扰而烦恼,这些噪音妨碍了你的和平之旅。当你在一项任务上工作时,你是否暴露在噪音中。你是否厌倦了日复一日地忍受着城市的噪音。我相信每个人都喜欢安静、安静的环境,而不喜欢吵闹的环境。
It is imperative for the government to strictly control the amount of noise in our life. First, a survey can prove my stand,compared with students who attended schools in quiet neighborhoods,the counterparts attended schools near noisy airport are liable to suffer from distraction. Also,the debate reminds me of my experience, as a columnist,I take pleasure in creating new essays in a café and I pay high price for a quiet environment,however,there are,sometimes,two inane babblers to break the silence,I can hardly zero in on work under noisy circumstances . Last, when I made a self-travel in England, I found that all travelers voluntarily switched phones to silent, turned stereos off and kept chatter to a minimum. Conversely, in my city, some people never notice that they become nuisances by talking aloud, playing cell phone music in public. So, fining people for making a din will definitely dissuade the polluter and be proved to be a neat solution.
政府必须严格控制我们生活中的噪音。首先,调查可以证明我的立场,而安静的社区,学生参加学校的同行参加学校嘈杂的机场附近容易遭受干扰。辩论让我想起了我的经历,专栏作家,很高兴能在创建新文章在咖啡馆和我支付更高的价格为一个安静的环境,但是,有时候,有两个空洞的胡说之人打破沉默,我几乎零在嘈杂的环境下工作。最后,当我在英国旅行时,我发现所有的旅行者都是自愿地把手机调成静音,关掉音响,把声音保持在最低限度。相反,在我的城市里,有些人从来没有注意到他们在公共场合大声说话、在手机里播放音乐,从而变得不受关注。因此,对制造噪音的人进行罚款肯定会阻止污染的制造者,并被证明是一个干净利落的解决方案。
Others,however,think differently. First, some people argue that the noise might, at first , be quite annoying,however,people might do well at their tasks after a while because humans are capable of adjusting to a manifold noise levels. Further, some people may believe that making noise randomly is a basic right which can never be deprived. Hence,some people are in the habit of having a noisy party or loudly playing musical instrument at home, or constantly honking the horn when driving a car. What I am worried about is that the right of making noise might be abused.
然而,其他人的想法不同。首先,一些人认为噪音可能,首先,非常讨厌,然而,人们会在他们的任务一段时间后,因为人类有能力适应多方面的噪音水平。此外,有些人可能认为,随意制造噪音是一项永远不能被剥夺的基本权利。因此,有些人的习惯有一个吵闹的聚会或在家大声演奏乐器,或开车时不停地按喇叭。我所担心的是,制造噪音的权利可能被滥用。
Apparently,every government should be urged to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of noise.
显然,每个政府都应该被要求减少或消除噪声的不利影响。
