题目要求:
We have three important parts of education reading,writting and Math.some people think every child will benefit from a fouth skill added to the list:computer skills:agree or disagree?
题目讲解:
借助这道考题,给大家介绍两个词汇,两个使我受益匪浅的词汇,一个是“话题万能论点库”,另一个叫做“交叉选择”。它们将成为我们雅思写作的最大利器。今天我们就借助这两个概念来击破这道题目,同时攻破浩如烟海的一系列相关题目。
第一个词条,需要我们做以下三个步骤:
1)将雅思考题(比如08到10年)按照话题进行分类。
2)确定每一类话题当中使用频率最高,实用性最强的论点。
3)将论点按照“正面”和“负面”进行分类。
首先,让我们来做一个话题判定。关键词:education--教育类computer skills--科技类。由此可知,为教育类以及科技类相结合的话题,第二个关键词的作用就体现出来了,我们需要将这两类话题的万能论点库进行一个“交叉选择”,也就是将教育类和科技类合适的论点进行综合。
以下为我在辛辛苦苦写了雅思写作考试近四年所有考试题目之后总结出来的教育类以及科技类的万能论点中的一部分:
Education
Positive:
开拓眼界:expand one's horizon
适应社会:adapt to the society
增加职业竞争力:boost one's competitiveness
营造良好的校园环境:create a favorable school environment
激发学习热情:generate an enthusiasm to learn
缓解压力:relieve stress
Negative:
增加负担:add a heavy burden
可以课下学:engage in …spontaneously
扼杀学习热情:stifle one's thirst for knowledge
抑制创造力发展:hamper development of creativity
Technology
Positive:
提高效率:enhance efficiency
提高生产率:increase productivity
节省时间:time-saving
以指代步:let our fingers do the walking
减少奔波:release people from lengthy commutes
扩大社交圈:expand one's social circles
使人们更加独立:make a transition from interdependence to independence
随时随地保持联系:keep in touch with others much more easily than generations ago
Negative:
导致失业:make people redundant
导致社会隔离感和冷漠感:lead to social isolation and indifference
加快生活节奏:quicken the pace of life
使得工作和生活界限模糊:boundary between work and study is blurred
现在让我们来做一个交叉选择。在两个话题万能论点库中,发现以下几条适合本题:
Positive:
1) 掌握计算机技术可以使我们更好地适应现代社会要求(教育类positive第二条)
2) 掌握计算机技术可以提高职业竞争力(教育类positive第三条)
3)可以提高学习效率(科技类positive第一条)
Negative:
不一定要成为学校正规课程计划的一部分。由于电脑和网络的普及,计算机技术完全可以在课下学习。(教育类negative第二条)
让我们来试验一下教育类和科技类的其他的题目吧,看看我们的万能论点库是否神奇。你会发现,这两类题目中的90%都可以用我们之前谈到过的论点进行解决。
08.6.5(学习一项科目还是所有科目)
观点:该学习很多科目
Positive:开拓眼界,适应社会多变的要求,增加职业竞争力(复合型人才)
Negative:增加学业负担
09.3.14(出国留学利弊)
观点:利大于弊
Positive:开拓眼界,适应社会,提高职业竞争力
Negative:增加财政负担
04.10.23(是否开设音乐和体育)
观点:应该开设
Positive:开拓眼界,营造良好的校园环境,缓解压力
Negative:可以在课下从事这类活动
10.9.4(24小时接听电话利弊)
观点:利大于弊
Positive:随时随地保持联系,扩大社交圈,使得人们更加独立
Negative:使得工作和生活界限模糊
11.1.8(机器人的利弊)
观点:利大于弊
Positive:提高效率,提高生产率,节省时间
Negative:导致失业
大家可以发现,教育类和科技类话题几乎都可以用相同的论点进行解决。有了万能论点库,在考场上几乎不用当场思考,直接调用已经准备好的观点即可,因为它们是如此的万能实用性如此之强。举个例子,教育类话题只要提前准备好了十个万能论点,上考场只要是碰到教育类话题,你都没问题,都可以从这十句话中挑选出合适的论点来组织文章。
用词灵活多样,也能较灵活地使用一些学术词汇;可适当增加从句和复杂句使用;文章结构不够严谨,应增加过程性词汇的使用。
Many people in our era are drawn to the pessimistic view that the new media are replacing and destroying old skills. One example is teaching. While there are a great number of courses being on line and students could learn them at any time or any place if they want to, the wall of school seems broken and the work of teachers seems unnecessary. Someone even predict there will be no teacher in the future and young persons will learn knowledge by themselves with the help of computers and Internet. But my opinion is opposite. Because with the help of computer-assisted teaching and the competition of on-line courses, we could realize more clearly that the primary role of teaching is showing students how to think and how to put their own thoughts into practice. Computer and on-line courses may good at giving updating knowledge, fresh information that will open students’ eye widely. But how to organize different knowledge into one unbroken map that could guide the person to think or do some creation is the key step in learning, especially in our informational time. Everything is in pieces. Some parts seem contradictive and some parts look unrelated. How to grasp and think them into a whole world? That is teachers’ job. They should help students to clean up and find their own way in this noisy world. It means teaching learning method or the way of thinking wholly is the real duty of teachers, instead of concrete but fragment knowledge. The computer and Internet will do the latter better than teachers, but they could not do the front one without teachers. Someone may ask how about on-line courses? These courses also tell you how to think. I think the important difference between on-line courses and teachers in your classroom is that you need to communicate with someone in high level directly and immediately while you have some confusion or different argument. But those teachers of on-line courses are always not on line and even they are on it, they could not give suitable feedback to your question while they have no idea about you. So the role of teachers in learning procession will not disappear. On the contrary, we will recognize the importance of teachers and the real focus of teaching by the emerging of on-line education. And as a result, this also set a high standard of how to be a teacher today.
