二、肉體和靈魂
雅思大作文常會(huì)出一些有關(guān)科技發(fā)明或娛樂方式的利與弊話題。那么不管是寫好處還是壞處,考生應(yīng)該從該發(fā)明或娛樂對(duì)人的肉體和靈魂這兩方面去組織自己的分支觀點(diǎn)。比如電腦對(duì)肉體的影響:
You don"t have to be a scientist to see that, due to overuse of the computer, a lot of kids get little exercise, which makes them obese.
Another common disadvantage is that playing too much on the computer can cause bad eyesight.
發(fā)明或娛樂對(duì)肉體的影響主要表現(xiàn)在削弱勢(shì)力和增加肥胖兩個(gè)方面,而其對(duì)靈魂的影響則涉及一下多個(gè)方面。
1.高頻率的信息切換影響孩子們的耐性。
There is not deny in that with the advent of technology, our patience grows thin.
2.媒體中的暴力節(jié)目扭曲孩子們的靈魂。
Media violence affects children by: increasing aggressiveness and anti-social behavior; intensifying their fear of becoming victims; making them less sensitive to violence and to victims of violence; encouraging their appetite for more violence in entertainment and in real life.
3.對(duì)媒體過多關(guān)注使孩子們變的孤僻而脫離現(xiàn)實(shí)生活。
For lack of face-to-face contact, modern children tend to be more introverted, unsocial, isolated and indifferent than those kids in last century.
三、權(quán)利和平等
四方的文化在一定程度上可以濃縮為:權(quán)利、平等和自由。中國(guó)考生在人們?cè)摬辉撟鍪裁词虑榛蛐袨榈臅r(shí)候應(yīng)該多從這個(gè)方面去說服考官。
如果寫到動(dòng)物的保護(hù)問題時(shí),可以說:Animals are not created for humans any more than women are created for men, black for white.
在寫到政府是否該花錢來發(fā)展武器時(shí),可以說:There is no doubt that the advancement of military technologies is one of the greatest dangers to all human rights, including the most basic right to life itself.
在寫到環(huán)境的重要性時(shí),可以說:
All human beings have the fundamental right to an environment adequate for their health and well-being.
在寫到小孩子是否應(yīng)該對(duì)自己犯的罪負(fù)責(zé)時(shí),可以說:
When someone turns 18, he or she should be tried as an adult because they have adult rights. Children, however, do not have the same rights as adults do. Then, if a five-year-old child killing someone has been sentenced the death penalty, the trial that determines whether or not someone should be tried as an adult are absurd.
在寫到傳統(tǒng)的西方道德中對(duì)私有財(cái)產(chǎn)的尊重時(shí),可以說:
Respect for property is no less important than respect for person. Indeed, respect for property is one species of respect for person. Property is the stuff of personal independence. It is, therefore, an economic foundation of freedom. A society in which respect for property diminishes is one in which freedom diminishes.
