雅思寫作:從總統(tǒng)講話中帶來的啟發(fā)與思考
36 2017-07-19
如果我們能在雅思寫作中加入一些名人言論,那我們的作文論證自然會更具說服力。如果加入的內(nèi)容更是當今政要們的一些講話,那在雅思考官的眼中,我們不僅英語能力勝任,同時還對世界時事頗為關(guān)注,那考官對我們的印象分數(shù),自然大大增加。以下是奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的一次講話,我們來看一看,總統(tǒng)的演說能否應(yīng)用到我們的作文題中。
在雅思寫作考試中,曾有考到富國是否要幫助發(fā)展中或者尚待發(fā)展的國家和地區(qū)的考題,如:
Shouldrichcountriesofferassistancetothoseunderdevelopedandundevelopedones?
總統(tǒng)講話中則提到了富國提供幫助的好處:他認為當今世界就是一個相互聯(lián)系的地球村,該舉使得雙方受益,無論是幫助方還是接受幫助方。

總統(tǒng)也提到了體育發(fā)展對于全人類的意義,同樣,這個內(nèi)容可以運用于以下這個考題:
Whyitisimportanttodevelopsports?
總統(tǒng)講話內(nèi)容:
Andin1979,theconnectionsamongourpeoplewerelimited.Today,weseethecuriosityofthoseping-pongplayersmanifestedinthetiesthatarebeingforgedacrossmanysectors.

我們都知道環(huán)境問題是雅思議論文中一個比較熱門的考題,我們曾經(jīng)遇到過:
Theenvironmentalproblemsarebingworse.Whatcanwedotohelptomakeitbetter?/Somepeoplesaythatsolvingenvironmentalproblemsshouldonlybethegovernmentconcern,paniesandindividualscanhardlymakeanyeffort.Whatisyouropinion?
總統(tǒng)講話中關(guān)于環(huán)境的內(nèi)容還是比較多的,總統(tǒng)認為中國和美國作為兩個世界大國,應(yīng)該在環(huán)境問題的解決上起到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和主導(dǎo)作用。政府應(yīng)當首當其沖的站在一個積極保護環(huán)境的立常

講話中總統(tǒng)還運用了美國本土的俚語:Idon'tknowifthere'sasimilarsayinginChina--wehaveasaying:"Youmadeyourbed,nowyouhavetosleepinit."而這句話用在雅思犯罪類的作文里是再貼切不過的了,類似于中文的“咎由自缺。
在總統(tǒng)講話中,還有多處提到了教育問題,文化融合問題,科技進步問題,這些問題都和雅思議論文密切相關(guān),不失為一篇好的學習寫作的背景文章。
