思路分析
今天中国大陆考区雅思考试笔试的大作文题目属于环境类的主题,也是一个典型的“旧瓶装新酒”的题目---历史上和今天的考题长得完全一模一样的题目确实并不存在,但事实上一些往年老题讨论的问题本质上和今天的题目是一样的,比如2017年2月18日的这一题:Some people think the technology makes life complex, so we should make our life simpler without using the technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
由此可见认真复习过去5年的雅思写作真题是一个非常有效的备考手段。
今天的题目用6步论证法可以很轻松地写出agree一方的观点和论证:
首先,我们确定本文讨论的主体是“现代人接受让自己不那么舒适的生活方式”。
Subject=accepting a less comfortable life(for the sake of the future generation)
其次,推导这种行为可能会带来的结果是什么,这个题目已经说了,这样做的目的是为了让我们的后人生活的环境更好。
Effect= solve environmental problems in the future
接下来是最难的一步:倒推原因---为什么现代人接受了不那么舒适的生活方式(比如放弃开车改成步行或者放弃使用一些家用电器)能够让未来的环境变得更好?这里就需要大家能够提炼出现代我们享受的有高科技带来的舒适生活有什么样的特性?---很多现代科技在带给人们舒适的同时其实也会给环境带来破坏
Characteristic= modern comfort is often at the cost of the damage to the environment
有了S(ubject)E(ffect)C(haracteristic)三大要素之后我们按照6步法的结构就可以很轻松的写出一个同意题目中观点的完整段落,范文如下:
原创范文
开头段
Some people think that present generation should sacrifice their comfortable modern lifestyle so that environmental problems might be relieved and our future generation might benefit from it. Personally, I tend to disagree with this opinion.
主体段第一段(支持方观点)
I understand that the environmental problems could be relieved in the future if we are willing to accept a less comfortable life. Many modern lifestyles that bring us comfort are at the cost of the damage to the environment: A lot of exhaust is emitted while we are enjoying the comfort of driving in an air-conditioned car. Thus, if one day all people would lead a simpler way of life that is less reliant on modern technology, for example, people walk to work instead of driving cars or use fewer electronic appliances, the emission of greenhouse gas and the consumption of electricity would decrease. As a result, environmental problems such as global warming can be relived in the future.
主体段第二段(反对方观点)
Giving up modern comfort for the sake of environmental protection, however, is unrealistic as it could lead to the dramatic drop of living standard and thus would probably be rejected by most people. It is human nature to prioritize their own wellbeing over the wellbeing of other people. Should people be requested to give up using their car and walk to work everyday or to endure the hardship of staying in their room with air-conditioner turned off for the sake of environmental protection, people would probably feel angry and think that it makes no sense to give up their own comfort in order for the future generation to live in a better environment.
结论
To conclude, although living a simpler way of life can be conducive to a future with better environment, we do not necessarily have to reap this benefit at the cost of the loss of modern comfort technology gives us. There are ways that do not sacrifice our quality of life to tackle environmental problems. For example, we can use renewable clean energy to take the place of fuel to relive the problem of global warming.
