  2018年03月15日 雅思大作文题目

  “Some countries spend a lot of money preparing competitors in major sports competition such as Olympic Games and football World Cup etc. It is better to encourage children to take up sports at a young age. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

 

 

  解析&审题

  本题是2012年9月1日的原题重现。很有意思的是,近几次雅思考试的作文都复现了2012、2013年的原题。唐老师在建议大家多准备2013-2015真题的同时,也再次提醒大家:不宜把雅思考试的希望寄托在押题上,关键的是通过复习考试,真正提升英语写作能力,这才是根本。

 

  本次题目中提及两个观点:应该花钱为世界大赛做准备还是应该把钱投给青少年运动?

 

  从某种意义上讲,本题也与2014年7月10日(2016年 12月3日复现)的题目很相似,该题如下:

 

  Some countries achieve international sporting success by building specialized facilities to train top athletes instead of providing sports facilities that everyone can use. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? (2014/7/10;2016/12/3)

 

  该题要求讨论的是政府应该花钱为运动员建特殊体育设施还是应该花钱建为大众使用的体育设施,很明显,该题的前半部分与本次考试几乎是完全相同的,即政府应该为运动员花钱让他们去世界大赛争金夺银,但在后半部分则有一定差异:前者要求讨论为大众建体育设施的好处,本题则要求讨论孩子从小开始运动的好处。

 

  就本题而言,我们完全可以采用“双边讨论”的结构:

  先讨论给运动员投资的好处(比如为国家赢得尊重,为有天赋的运动员创造机会等),再讨论给孩子运动投资的好处(有利于孩子身体健康,有利于孩子养成锻炼身体的习惯等),最后可以指出这两者其实并无矛盾:更多的孩子从事运动,产生运动员的机会就更大,因此投资孩子运动,其实也就是间接投资运动员。

 

 

  老师笔记01

  Investing in sports is an important part of the government’s business to improve the physical fitness of its citizens, particularly young children. While it is necessary to train a few selected individuals to compete in major world sporting events, the government should do more to provide young people with plenty of sports activities.

 

  投资于体育是政府提高公民,特别是儿童身体健康的重要组成部分。虽然有必要训练一些选定的人去重大的世界体育赛事中竞争,但政府应该做更多的工作,为年轻人提供大量体育活动。

 

  解析

  (1)本段两句,句引入话题(政府应该投资于公民的身体健康),第二句表达自己观点(投资运动员和投资儿童体育活动都重要)。

  (2)invest in... 投资于......

  (3)physical fitness 身体健康

  (4)provide somebody with... (=provide something for...) 为......提供......

 

  02

  To begin with, to motivate children to be physically fit, they should be physically active at grass-root levels, and the key is investing in a variety of sports facilities. Whatever their fitness personality, all young children can be more healthy by doing regular exercise. Generally speaking, if children start doing sports early enough, they will come to regard physical activity as a normal part of everyday life. This shows why money should be spent giving children opportunities to begin sports at an early age.

 

  首先,为了激励孩子们保持身体健康,他们应该进行大量的基础体育活动,关键在于投资各种体育设施。无论他们的身体特性如何,所有的孩子都可以通过定期锻炼变得更健康。一般来说,如果孩子们运动得早,他们就会把身体活动看作日常生活的一部分。这说明了为什么要花钱让孩子们有机会从小就开始运动。

 

  解析

  (1)本段论述给孩子投资体育设施的好处:1. 锻炼可以使孩子身体更健康;2. 早锻炼可以让孩子养成锻炼的习惯。

  (2)motivate 激励

  (3)at grass-root levels 在草根的层面上

  (4)a variety of... 各种各样的

  (5)regular 规律的

  (6)come to do something 逐渐会做......

 

  03

  At elite levels, every government has a duty to spend money helping its people fulfill their potential, and such events as the Olympics and World Cup can give athletes a goal and young people a chance to believe in themselves. At this point, the question arises about the wisdom of a country (with limited resources) spending too much money and not getting a good return, suggesting that this money should be put elsewhere. Although the answer to the question depends on who you ask, there is evidence that investing in elite athletes is gaining support from people who like to see their stars shining in international competitions. That in turn is an encouragement for young children to do sports at an early age.

 

  在精英运动员的层面上,每个政府都有义务花钱帮助人们发挥他们的潜力,奥运会和世界杯这样的活动可以给运动员一个目标,给年轻人一个机会来增强对自己的信心。在这一点上,有人提出一个(资源有限的)国家会不会花费太多的钱而得不到好的回报,他们提出这些钱应该用在别的地方。虽然这个问题的答案取决于你问谁,但有证据表明,投资精英运动员正获得人们的支持,因为他们喜欢看到自己的明星们在国际比赛闪耀。这反过来又鼓励孩子很早就参加运动。

 

  解析

  (1)本段讨论投资运动员的好处:1. 给有天赋的运动员机会;2.人们喜欢看到运动员闪耀在国际赛场,这也能激励孩子参加运动。

  (2)elite 精英的;精英

  (3)fulfill 实现;满足

  (4)athlete 运动员

  (5)arise (问题,情况)出现

  (6)in turn 反过来

 

  04

  To conclude, a country has nothing to lose when spending money encouraging young children to be engaged in physical activities at grass-root levels as well as preparing competitors at elite levels. Both investments are valuable, and the only thing for the government to do is balance themout.

 

  总之,花钱鼓励孩子们参加基层的体育活动,同时又在精英阶层培养有竞争力的选手,这么做不会让一个国家失去任何东西。两项投资都是有价值的,政府要做的就是要平衡它们。

 

  解析

  (1)本段结论,提出两项都应该投资,并指出支付应该将两者平衡起来。这样的结尾既总结了前面的观点,又简要提出了自己的建议,使文章结尾显得完整又有开放性。

  (2)be engaged in... 参加;从事

  (3)valuable 有价值的

  (4)balance out... 平衡......
