小作文:3個(gè)餅圖
點(diǎn)評(píng)：可參照劍橋Book8 P53【about "a UK school spending"】;
大作文 :Some people think personal happiness is directly related to economic success, while others believe this depends on other factors. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. (一些人認(rèn)為個(gè)人幸福是直接經(jīng)濟(jì)上的成功所決定,而另一些人這取決于其他不同的因素。)
點(diǎn)評(píng)1：抽象類話題，建議參考劍橋Book8 B6P99【concerning "change"】和B5P76【with regard to "competition or cooperation"】，想雅思寫作好成績，劍橋系列Book5-8大作文24篇，小作文16篇[A]必須都要寫一遍。
點(diǎn)評(píng)2：今天的作文題目是2006年12月16日的原題，屬于抽象類話題。題型是雙邊討論(Discuss both views and give your opinion)。可以寫成雙邊支持，經(jīng)濟(jì)上的成功在一定程度上會(huì)帶來物質(zhì)上的滿足，但其它因素，如健康，愉悅的心情，成就感，親情，友情，愛情，都是幸福的因素。
分析：雅思題目的范圍非常廣，其中的題目難易程度梯度相差比較大。不過題目的難易程度也是一個(gè)相對(duì)的概念。考生只要對(duì)于一些題目的素材有些積累，就能比較從容的應(yīng)付相關(guān)的題目。此題就是一個(gè)例子，如果一方的觀點(diǎn)過于絕對(duì)，出現(xiàn)類似“every”“all”“the only”,等關(guān)鍵字，建議考生在最后個(gè)段落中不同意此方觀點(diǎn)。此題一方觀點(diǎn)中“directly”過于絕對(duì)。但即便如此，考生需要用一個(gè)段落闡述快樂部分取決于經(jīng)濟(jì)上的成就。
可供參考的素材：
期望的高分的同學(xué)務(wù)必重視“切題”“論述的連貫一直”。另外，對(duì)比的句子在雅思考官滿分范文中出現(xiàn)的頻率非常高，下面的英文刻意多用了些類似的表達(dá)。這里給出的英文主要供期望寫作7+的同學(xué)參考。期望5.5-6分的同學(xué)大體上做到不跑題太遠(yuǎn)，語法錯(cuò)誤不能太明顯，甚至多用點(diǎn)模板都可以。
論述為什么經(jīng)濟(jì)上的成功在一些程度上是人快樂
人們對(duì)生活的滿意程度部分取決于一個(gè)人的經(jīng)濟(jì)上的成就。我們生活在一個(gè)世界里，身在其中的絕大部分人將一個(gè)人的賺錢能力同一個(gè)人的社會(huì)地位相等同。當(dāng)一個(gè)人必須經(jīng)�？紤]如何能找到體面的工作來緩解家庭經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力時(shí)，他無法真正享受生活。當(dāng)一個(gè)人能在一天賺的錢比他人一個(gè)月轉(zhuǎn)得更多時(shí)，他更有可能獲得別人的尊重，這種尊重is widely thought to be closely related to one’s sense of fulfillment.
People’s contentment with life is partly determined by their economic achievement, which could be explained by the fact that we are living in a world where most people associate one’s ability to make money with one’social status. An individual, constantly having to consider how to relieve his family of economic burden, is deprived of the chance to enjoy life. And a worker capable of earning within a month what others cannot earn within a year is more likely to gain respect from others，and this sense of being esteemed is widely thought to be related to one’s sense of fulfillment.
論述其他因素同樣影響一個(gè)人對(duì)生活的滿意度。這些因素包括：一個(gè)人是否有歸屬感，工作中的成就感，認(rèn)同感。
人們對(duì)于生活的看法受經(jīng)濟(jì)生成就的影響不盡然意味著他是唯一的因素。一個(gè)人的歸屬人感同樣重要。人們都生活在一個(gè)社交網(wǎng)中，這個(gè)社交網(wǎng)使得人意識(shí)到被他人認(rèn)同，使得他們意識(shí)到自己屬于哪一個(gè)群體。一個(gè)抽不出足夠時(shí)間同家人朋友在一起的人不能被稱作是幸福的人，即使它賺取了足夠的錢。此外，當(dāng)人意識(shí)到自己所做的工作能給他帶來價(jià)值，這種快樂同樣無法用金錢衡量。
However, economic success is not necessarily the only criterion for measuring how people feel about life. Their sense of identity is also a decisive factor for their happiness. We are living in a social net, which allows us to be approved by others and to have a knowledge of which community we belong to. An individual unable to set aside enough time for family union would fail to feel satisfied, despite the great wealth he could create. Besides, recognition that what one is doing could contribute to others also brings happiness, which could not be acquired by coins.
