2020年11月29日雅思机考出现的一道G类大作文题目是:人生中最重要的东西未必贵。The most important things in a person’s life do not always have a high financial value. Give your opinion and include any exmaples.
审题:写作任务是“给出你的观点”,当题目背景有两个部分,可以按DG题型写,当题目背景只有一个意思,可以按agree/disagree题型写。这道题需要表态的是“人生中最重要的东西并不总是贵的”,采取“同意”的立场会比较好写。TR方面需要注意题目里用词是things,复数,应提到不止一种最重要且不贵的东西。在论述过程中,可以适当对比“重要”与“贵”。

Some people think that most important things in life are free and cannot be bought. To what extent do you agree?
组长提示:这道题的表述是“人生中最重要的东西是免费且买不到的”,与上述题目略有区别。大家可以充分吸收ideas和话题词汇,但在考场上要记得认真读题,结合题目表述方式,写好观点句和主体段中心句,扣住题目。

The most important things in life for the survival of human race are water, air, food, and social affinity. I strongly believe that these things are free and cannot be purchased with money since these are available in abundance in nature and, unless polluted or corrupted, are good for consumption.
解析:开头段改述题目并给出个人观点。对题目关键信息进行解释也是一种改述方式。第二句明确表达个人立场并简要说明原因。这篇范文是从“生存必需品”的角度拓展“生活中最重要的东西”的。
The nature has bestowed free and pure air, portable water, and edible food on every living organism. Tribals, for instance, live in natural state and do not accumulate goods for future consumption. They gather water from rivers, inhale fresh air of forests, and eat food from wild plants and trees. They do not have to pay taxes or purchase vehicles and homes. Wood for house construction is available freely in the nature. Even in urban areas air is available for free though we have to purchase clean water since natural water cannot be consumed due to pollution from anthropogenic activities.
解析:主体段1呼应开头段提出的支撑个人观点的第一个原因:“生活里最重要的东西,大自然里有的是”。先用部落生活方式解释观点,说明“重要的东西是免费的”,再用城市生活的情况做补充,让论述更全面、有说服力。
Moreover, humans are social creatures who need company and acceptance of others to survive. This is a necessity that is available without any cost. We make friends and spend time with family since it is a need. This activity does not require any financial dealing but only our time and no amount of money can purchase a family or friends. For instance, Human Happiness Index, a measure of human happiness developed by the World Bank, found that people with lower income and those living in poor countries are often more happy than rich and those living in developed countries. The index revealed that this is primarily due to strong social relations that do not require any monetary spending. (118 words.)
解析:主体段2呼应开头段提出的支撑个人观点的第二个原因:“social affinity”,从亲情友情人际关系的角度论述最重要的东西是免费的,举例扣题。语法方面使用了各种从句、插入语、比较级等。
In conclusion, the natural and social elements that are required for human survival are freely available and do not cost a dime. To live a peaceful and satisfying life we do not need material possessions such as phones and vehicles but love, care and affection of friends and familyalong with clean air and fresh water.
解析:结尾段总结全文,再次重申个人立场。话题词汇丰富,建议结合标记、总结全文。
