之前我们在雅思写作课中讲过环保类话题-“汽车的使用”,在这个话题里俊贤老师为我们讲解了写作中的让步段位置问题。今天我们同样也讲到环保类话题-“塑料污染”,除了解题思路,俊贤老师也带来了作文题中常见的陷阱分析。接下来我们先看看写作话题。

作文题常见的陷阱分析
Hello亲爱的读者老铁,
相信有不少同学都梦想过天上掉馅饼,歪打正着。考官问了你一个问题, 你回答,“pardon?”然后回答正确了。
但是,更常见的情况是,考官有备而来,而自己是个傻白甜,被考官问了个措手不及。
从最近几个月的题目来看,只能说作文题越来越难用套路 、套句拿分了。老师和学生有套路,但考官反套路的做法也越来越高明。
例如最近的这道题,如果一看到是“环保”,很多同学迫不及待把知道的 环保问题都写了一遍,所有的词都搬上去,什么温室效应,沙漠化,水平面升高等等,那大概率还是要凉的,因为这些现象和“塑料”并没有关系。
这道题问的是“plastic” ,如果没有注意“垃圾围城“,或者了解有关塑料的危害和相应解决措施,那很可能很难拿到 Task response 的7分。
细节,是考官经常设置陷阱的地方。有注意得到,没有相应的解释或例子,也很难回答好,就更加不要说没有注意到这个小小的“plastic”了。要知道,考官是有备而来的,看题目的时候,再小心都不过分。

ARTICLE写作题目
More and more plastic is polluting the cities,countryside and oceans. What are the problems caused by plastic waste? What measures should be taken to solve it?
7分范文
In the past few decades, plastic pollution has become one of the main concerns in the world, with millions of people disposing plastic garbage everyyear. While modern industry has undoubtedly benefited hundreds of thousands of people globally, it has unfortunately caused some environmental problems, one of which is destroying ocean creature’s habitat. As a result of this, people need to take actions to stop this phenomenon immediately. As far as I am concerned, if people continue using plastic products uncontrollably, there will be two main problems in the foreseeable future. First of all, it is the shrinking habitat,no matter for people or for animals. Since such products are undegradable, it is arguably impossible for them to be reusedby nature, just like their degradable counterparts. People can do nothing but just dump such garbage in the wild, where they do not have to pay for the rent or purchase. It is widely reported that people’s habitat is now shrinking because of the ever-expanding size of garbage, especially the plastic one. What is worse, it kills wild animals unexpectedly. Many news and documentaries report that plastic items, such as straws or bags are strangling the ocean creature. Many turtles cannot breathe because a small plastic straw is stuck in their nose, and many seagulls were dead because their stomach is stuck with plastic items. Many of them ate those products by mistake, which most likely stay in their bodies for months, years or even for the rest of their life. In order to solve this problem, everyone needs to work together. People need to start from themselves. They need to realize the importance of sustainable development. If they cannot stop using all of the plastic products immediately, they can do it step by step. For example, they can prepare their own shopping bags, or else the staff at the supermarkets will give them as many plastic bags as they could, in order to ensure the customers’ satisfaction with their shopping experience. Secondly,the government is supposed to enactlaws and effectively enforce such laws in order to punish those people and companies who litter irresponsibly. Canada can be used as a good example. If people were found not classifying their garbage correctly, they would face a fine ranging from 500 to 1000 dollars each month. To avoid such fines, most people would not mind going through such troubles, and they would tend to recycle their garbage according to the governmental orders. With everyone contributing their effort, this problem is likely to be successfully solved. It is high time that both governments and individual citizens realised the urgency and took actions responsibly.
