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

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。
过渡词很丰富,衔接词同时使用的恰到好处;复杂句采用很棒;作者词汇基础扎实,拼写也很棒。
Twelve years into the new millennium, individuals have witnessed the universal utilization of computer in the fields of culture, science, military and so forth. When it comes to the education frontier, computer-related skills as well as their diversified applications,to a large extent,have facilitated students and schools throughout the world. However, whether computer skills should be enlisted in our curriculum, as a forth compulsory component, has sparked heated discussion recently. From my viewpoint, computer skills are important but not necessary in terms of public education. Admittedly, youngsters would , for certain, gain more popularity in the future job market provided that computer techniques are offered in schools, since computerized products and technologies have penetrated virtually every aspect of every industry. In addition, acquiring the essential knowledge regarding computer or even the internet could, to some degree, help children improve the efficiency and quality of their school learning, which tend to be onerous and monotonous based on the current education system. On the other hand, it seems pointless to add computer skills into the schooling list just like the other three, namely reading, writing and math. Firstly, the burden of students nowadays is fairly considerable. Adding a forth compulsory subject would undoubtedly frustrate and exhaust them, or even undermine their passion for studying all together. On top of that, computer skills, along with the widespread of personal computers in common household, can be gained in various means besides educational institution. It has been a quite common phenomenon that a major group of adolescents learned how to type by chatting online, how to save files by downloading the very first movie, and how to maintain operation system by installing anti-virus software. Considering all the factors above, I personally reach the conclusion that computer skill should not be added into the current school disciplines, even though it is, indisputably, an essential technique to survive in the modern society.
