2020年12月20日 雅思大作文题目



Some people think governments should spend money on measures to save languages with few speakers from dying out completely. Others think this is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your opinion.



高分范文及解析


01



As the world advances at a rapid pace, some languages, which are disappearing due to the lack of adaptability of the current social development, are preserved by the relevant authorities. Personally, I think it is not a favorable choice.


解析

Ø 选取题目关键词拓展背景,亮明观点:不认为政府应该花钱挽救濒危语言

Ø adaptability:适应性


02



It is true that some endangered languages are capable of giving people an insight into the diversity of cultures. The magnetism of culture can be credited to its richness and continuity, and language is one of the best interpretations of this characteristic. The world has never been driven by a single culture, a single language, but rather by the interplay that has led to the lively world we have today. A forceful illustration of this is the preservation of the Sami language in Finland, which allows more people to have closer acquaintance with Santa Claus' homeland and folklore, helping study how influential this legend is in the world.


解析

Ø 稍作让步,承认一些濒危语言在文化交融上所起到的重要作用;

Ø 举例论证:圣诞节快到了,就以圣诞老人的家乡语言作例证吧;

Ø magnetism:魅力

Ø richness and continuity:丰富性和延续性

Ø interpretation:理解,阐释

Ø interplay:相互作用

Ø acquaintance:了解

03



However, if the government puts too much funds and efforts into the protection of practicallyextinct languages, other causes of social life will be affected economically. Economic progress, education for the children, health care coverage and environmental protection have already become the major concerns. If the government allocates more budgets to the languageconservation, people would feel that it is "failing" in its duty to the service that people are actually in need of today. On the contrary, language preservation requires more efforts from linguists. On the other hand, some languages are becoming endangered mainly because they are no longer adapted to the world. The development of the world requires interaction between cultures, but it also requires efficiency. Inefficient language acquisition and cultural interactions may lead to financial burden as well as the dissipation of resources to the authority.


解析

Ø 开始反驳:政府的职责很多,而语言保护应该是语言学家应做的工作;

Ø 濒危语言在交流上缺乏效率,很难满足时代发展的需要。

Ø extinct:灭绝的;

Ø conservation/ preservation:保护

Ø acquisition: 习得

Ø dissipation:浪费


04



In conclusion, while endangered languages are useful for understanding specific historical cultures, they are of limited use. Governments should be pragmatic with a focus on the the framework of social life.


解析

Ø 再次点明立场
