10天搞定雅思写作

此时不妨模拟雅思考试的真实情况，选择一个没有任何人打扰的安静环境，拿出纸笔，关闭周围的一切通讯设备，用手表或者其他计时器定一小时的闹钟，尽最大能力认认真真地完成两篇文章的写作，体验一把在考场进行雅思写作的真实感受。对于预备参加机考的同学，在电脑中打开一个写字板写作即可，注意不要使用具有提醒和自动更正功能的输入法和Word，这二者在考场上都是无法使用的。

模拟完真实考场的考试后，你拿着手上的答题纸，看着自己写完的或者没有写完的习作，想必心情是复杂的：想知道自己能得多少分，是否具备应对考试的能力，以及该朝着哪些方向努力等等。

先来看两篇优秀范文，感性地认识一下雅思高分作文。

Task 1

The provided bar chart shows data on annual GDP of Tunisia, Japan and Ecuador between 2007 and 2010. As is observed from the given data, the annual GDP growth of Tunisia and Ecuador had decreased over the period while the percentage of GDP had increased remarkably in Japan.

As is given in the bar graph, initially in 2007 the annual percentage of GDP growth in Tunisia was over 6 while this was only 2% in Japan and just over 3% in Ecuador. Within three years, this GDP growth in Tunisia decreased to 3%, which is less than half of their initial percentage. In Ecuador the GDP growth percentage also declined and fell to about 2%. On the contrary, Japan had been able to increase their annual GDP growth and the percentage increased to well over 6 in 2010 compared to only 2% in 2007.

In summary, the annual GDP growth in Tunisia and Ecuador decreased while it increased remarkably in Japan over the given period.

Task 2

It is true that many older people believe in traditional values that often seem incompatible with the needs of younger people. While I agree that some traditional ideas are outdated, I believe that others are still useful and should not be forgotten.

On the one hand, many of the ideas that elderly people have about life are becoming less relevant for younger people. In the past, for example, people were advised to learn a profession and find a secure job for life, but today’s workers expect much more variety and diversity from their careers. At the same time, the ‘rules’ around relationships are being eroded as young adults make their own choices about who and when to marry. However, perhaps the greatest disparity between the generations can be seen in their attitudes towards gender roles. The traditional roles of men and women, as breadwinners and housewives, are no longer accepted as necessary or appropriate by most younger people.

On the other hand, some traditional views and values are certainly applicable to the modern world. For example, older generations attach great importance to working hard, doing one’s best, and taking pride in one’s work, and these behaviours can surely benefit young people as they enter today’s competitive job market. Other characteristics that are perhaps seen as traditional are politeness and good manners. In our globalised world, young adults can expect to come into contact with people from a huge variety of backgrounds, and it is more important than ever to treat others with respect. Finally, I believe that young people would lead happier lives if they had a more ‘old-fashioned’ sense of community and neighbourliness.

In conclusion, although the views of older people may sometimes seem unhelpful in today’s world, we should not dismiss all traditional ideas as irrelevant.

It is true that people in industrialised nations can expect to live longer than ever before. Although there will undoubtedly be some negative consequences of this trend, societies can take steps to mitigate these potential problems.

As people live longer and the populations of developed countries grow older, several related problems can be anticipated. The main issue is that there will obviously be more people of retirement age who will be eligible to receive a pension. The proportion of younger, working adults will be smaller, and governments will therefore receive less money in taxes in relation to the size of the population. In other words, an ageing population will mean a greater tax burden for working adults. Further pressure will include a rise in the demand for healthcare, and the fact young adults will increasingly have to look after their elderly relatives.

There are several actions that governments could take to solve the problems described above. Firstly, a simple solution would be to increase the retirement age for working adults, perhaps from 65 to 70. Nowadays, people of this age tend to be healthy enough to continue a productive working life. A second measure would be for governments to encourage immigration in order to increase the number of working adults who pay taxes. Finally, money from national budgets will need to be taken from other areas and spent on vital healthcare, accommodation and transport facilities for the rising numbers of older citizens.

In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the problems that are certain to arise as the populations of countries grow older.
