【题目要求】
Many people in developing countries feel happier than before while many people in developed countries do not feel as happy as used to be. Why? What lesson can you learn from this?
【题目分析】
在常人看来,发达国家的人总体上本应该感到更幸福!很多发达国家的人之所以觉得幸福感不如从前是因为他们对幸福的定义发生了变化(请参看剑桥雅思4 Test 2, Writing Task 2).
Question 1 推理过程:
a) 发达国家与发展中国家人民对幸福的定义不一样
b) 具体表现为:很多发达国家的人民对生活有更多期待(收入、工作满意度、生活水平,等)
c) 后果:发达国家很多人原来越贪婪,但是现实情况是大部分人都不能如愿,结果幸福指数大大降低
d) 原因:贪婪和自私是发达国家引导的现代生活方式的根基
d) 相反,发展中国家的人很多老百姓知足常乐,尤其是当这些国家社会变化加快,人民生活生活水平明显改善的时候。
Question 2 教训:
从两种不同人生观可以清晰地看出人的贪念是无止尽的。发达国家尽管创造了更高的物质文明,但是人民精神文明的缺失给社会发展带来了很大的麻烦。发展中国家的主流生活方式和人生观对发达国家的管理者和老百姓有很大的启发。如果发达国家倡导一种更简单的生活模式,情况可能会大为改观。
文中词汇表达较丰富恰当,但学术词汇稍显不足;作者句法不错,但是文章整体句子稍微偏短;语言不流畅;连词使用偏少。
