2020年雅思写作考试有哪些热门话题
雅思写作话题一：Travel
Topic: It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures. We can learn as much as from books, films and the internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2017/10/6)
Agree:
社交媒体发达,信息更新很快,人们可以从网上书上获得更多相关信息(access more infomration)
更加方便节省时间(be more convenient and efficient)
书，电影网络可以帮助你从不同视角(different perspectives)了解当地文化，很多是旅客接触不到的

书本和电影只能展现一部分，并且有一些作者的主观想法，可能会有一些偏见。
PS：现在各式各样真人秀，旅行类节目也非常多,在空闲的时间可以 “侣行 ” “极限情侣”张昕宇、梁红打造的首档网络自制户外真人秀节目，通过镜头看世界也是一种很好的了解世界。除此之外，“越野路书”也是一档超级赞的越野类节目。对公路旅行感兴趣的同学可以在课余时间去了解一下。
Technology
In some countries, the widespread use of the Internet has given people more freedom to work or study at home, instead of traveling to work or college. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages? (2017/9/30)
雅思考试写作范文：机器翻译与人工翻译
Write about the following topic:
Machine translation (MT) is slower and less accurate than human translation and there is no immediate or predictable likelihood of machines taking over this role from humans.
Do you agree or disagree?
Model Answer:
It is true that there have been great advances in technology over the last forty years. For example / For instance the use of mobile phones and e-mail communication are common these days. However, machines that translate from one language to another are still in their early stages.
It seems to me that a machine could never do as good a job as a human, especially when it comes to interpreting what people are saying. Of course, machines can translate statements such as “Where is the bank?” but even simple statements are not always straightforward because the meaning depends on more than just words. For instance / For example the word “bank” has a number of different meanings in English. How does a translating machine know which meaning to take?
In order to understand what people are saying, you need to take into account the relationship between the speakers and their situation. A machine cannot tell the difference between the English expression “Look out!” meaning “Be careful!” and “Look out!” meaning “Put your head out of the window”. You need a human being to interpret the situation.
Similarly with written language, it is difficult for a machine to know how to translate accurately because we rarely translate every word. On the contrary, we try to take into consideration how the idea would be expressed in the other language. This is hard to do because every language has its own way of doing and saying things.
For these reasons I feel that it is most unlikely that machines will take the place of humans in the field of translating and interpreting. If machines ever learn to think, perhaps then they will be in a position to take on this role.
雅思考试写作范文：经验知识还是书本知识
Advantages:
对于大部分人来说更加方便(be more convenient)，效率也更高
更加灵活，可以平衡工作和家庭生活(balance work and
It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books.
In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
Model Answer 1:
"Experience is the best teacher" is an old cliché, but I agree with it. We can learn a lot of important things from books, but the most important lessons in life come from our own experiences. Throughout the different stages of life, from primary school to university to adulthood, experience teaches us many skills we need for life.
As children in primary school, we learn facts and information from books, but that is not all we learn in school. On the playground we learn how to make friends. In our class work, we learn how it feels to succeed and what we do when we fail. We start to learn about the things we like to do and the things we don't. We don't learn these things from books, but from our experiences with our friends and classmates.
In our university classes, we learn a lot of information and skills we will need for our future careers, but we also learn a lot that is not in our textbooks. In our daily lives both in class and out of class, we learn to make decisions for ourselves. We learn to take on responsibilities. We learn to get along with our classmates, our roommates, and our workmates. Our successes and failures help us develop skills we will need in our adult lives. They are skills that no book can teach us.
Throughout our adulthood, experience remains a constant teacher. We may continue to read or take classes for professional development. However, our experiences at work, at home, and with our friends teach us more. The triumphs and disasters of our lives teach us how to improve our careers and also how to improve our relationships and how to be the person each one of us wants to be.
Books teach us a lot, but there is a limit to what they teach. They can give us information or show us another person's experiences. These are valuable things, but the lessons we learn from our own experiences, from childhood through adulthood, are the most important ones we learn.
Model Answer 2:
People are learning and practicing through their entire life. I believe that life experience and practice are the basic reasons of the humankind's evolution. However, in my opinion, knowledge gained from books plays a very important role in the modern life.
The most obviously important advantage of books is that they hold all knowledge gained by previous generations. People write books about their discoveries and inventions, which are gained through practice and experience. This knowledge is accumulated in books that are passed from generation to generation. So, basically, people get all knowledge about the previous achievements from books, analyze it and than, according to their experience and new data, write new books. In this case, books are the holders of humankind's experience.
For example, at old times people thought that the Earth was flat. It was concluded from observations and studdying. However, the next generations, using the experience of their ancestors, proved that the Earth was round.
Personally, I think that books are very important because they are able to give people the basic and fundamental knowledge. Books store history, the important events and discoveries. Without them it is difficult and sometimes impossible to move forward, make new discoveries and inventions.
To summarize, I think a person should take basic knowledge from books because it will help him to make his own inventions, conclusions and discoveries. Only using both books and one’s experience one can move forward.

雅思写作话题二：Health
Some people think that governments should care about their citizens’ diet and health. Others think that people themselves should take responsibility for their own diets and health. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (2017/9/21)
Governments should care:
很多人意识不到这些问题，政府采取措施,可以更好的规范人们的行为(regulate one’s misbehavior)
people themselves should care:
人们根据自己的饮食习惯，生活方式进行调整，更加开心健康
雅思写作话题三：Work
People change their jobs and place of residence several times during life. Is this a positive or negative development? (2017/9/16)
Positive:

Negative:
经常性换地方可能会缺乏归属感(sense of belonging)
Disagree:

提高教学质量
处在不同阶段的同学的雅思写作备考建议：
Level1:
没有进行过动笔练习的同学，非常危险，很有可能考场上写不完，不要抱有侥幸心理，觉得“车到山前必有路” 上考场自然能写出来。这样无异于裸考，不进行写作练习，只是单纯看别人的思路，很难完成一篇高质量的作文，分数绝对不会高，对于这类同学，现在最主要的任务，就是赶紧动笔进行练习，不要害怕。
Level2:
已经上过一些课并且练习过一段时间的同学，这个阶段要进行查漏补缺，先把自己写过的题目列出来，看看哪种类型没有练习过，以及列出语法问题，避免相同的问题再次出现。初次之外，也可以自己进行限时写作练习，并找老师或者水平比你高的同学进行批改，避免同样的问题再次出现。
Level3:
若已经练习过10篇左右大作文，对于思路没有太多问题的同学，比较建议同学们关注一下之前历年考试机经，抽时间想一下思路，列提纲，积累话题词汇。
雅思写作中的大小词要注意
今天就带大家来感受一下雅思写作用词的其中一个小心机：大小词。
让我们来看一篇范文：
It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behavior to children?
One important stage in a child’s growth is certainly the development of a conscience, which is linked to the ability to tell right from wrong. This skill comes with time and good parenting, and my conviction is that punishment does not have much of a role to play in this. Therefore I have to disagree almost entirely with the given statement.
To some extent the question depends on the age of the child. To punish a very young child is both wrong and foolish, as an infant will not understand what is happening or why he or she is being punished. Once the age of reason is reached however, a child can be rewarded for good behavior and discouraged from bad. This kind but firm approach will achieve more than harsh punishments, which might entail many negative consequences unintended by the parents.
To help a child learn the difference between right and wrong, teachers and parents should firstly provide good role modelling in their own behavior. After that, if sanctions are needed, the punishment should not be of a physical nature, as that merely sends the message that it is acceptable for larger people to hit smaller ones – an outcome which may well result in the child starting to bully others. Nor should the punishment be in any way cruel.
Rather, teachers and parents can use a variety of methods to discipline their young charges, such as detention, withdrawal of privileges, and time-out. Making the punishment fit the crime as a useful notion, which would see children being made to pick up rubbish they have dropped, clean up graffiti they have drawn, or apologise to someone they have hurt. In these days responsibility is developed in the child, which leads to much better future behavior than does punishment.
这篇文章是教育类的一个话题，其中的关键词就是learn the difference between right and wrong，punishment等，这类大词在写文章过程中往往需要找到同义词进行替换，增加我们表达的多样性，避免重复率太高。
文章除了使用sanction等近义词之外，还巧妙地用一些比较具体的小词来对punishment做了替换，如第三段中用physical nature, hit等来表达体罚，第四段用detention, withdrawal of privileges, time-out等表达具体的惩罚形式，不仅词汇上多样化，也给出了具体的例子，比起全文都是空洞地只谈punishment一词要灵活很多。
对于difference between right and wrong这个比较复杂关键词的替换，很多学生都会觉得无从下手，因为这更难找到一个词去概括，也很难用句子解释。文中使用到了good behavior，responsibility等同样是比较具体的词去指代“good”，同时用 bully, rubbish, graffiti, hurt等行为去具体化“bad”，同样用小词代替大词，达到了词汇的多样化。
让我们再来看看一个题目吧：
Q
Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world.
Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
针对这样一道文化和经济社会以及全球化的题目，核心的一些名词可能会涉及产品、文化等，而对于像 product, culture这样抽象的“大词”，虽然很常见，但往往是很难找到近义词来替换的，并且也很难用从句的形式来进一步解释;与此同时，如果重复使用的话，会显得比较单调。
那考官是怎么“变变变”的呢?
咱们先来看考官的范文：
It is said that countries are becoming similar to each other because of the global spread of the same products, which are now available for purchase almost anywhere. I strongly believe that this modern development is largely detrimental to culture and traditions worldwide.
A country’s history, language and ethos are all inextricably bound up in its manufactured artefacts. If the relentless advance of international brands into every corner of the world continues, these bland packages might one day completely oust the traditional objects of a nation, which would be a loss of richness and diversity in the world, as well as the sad disappearance of the manifestations of a place’s character. What would a Japanese tea ceremony be without its specially crafted teapot, or a Fijian kava ritual without its bowl made from a certain type of tree bark?
Let us not forget either that traditional products, whether these be medicines, cosmetics, toys, clothes, utensils or food, provide employment for local people. The spread of multinational products can often bring in its wake a loss of jobs, as people turn to buying the new brand, perhaps thinking it more glamorous than the one they are used to. This eventually puts old-school craftspeople out of work.
Finally, tourism numbers may also be affected, as travellers become disillusioned with finding every place just the same as the one they visited previously. To see the same products in shops the world over is boring, and does not impel visitors to open their wallets in the same way that trinkets or souvenirs unique to the particular area do.
Some may argue that all people are entitled to have access to the same products, but I say that local objects suit local conditions best, and that faceless uniformity worldwide is an unwelcome and dreary prospect.
考官在这里就用了一个列举的小技巧，用多个具体的“小词”来替换掉这些抽象的“大词”。
比如文章在开头段中提到这样的发展是对culture 和 traditions 有害的，而在主体段的第一句中作者将文化和商品联系起来的时候，用的词就是history, language and ethos(道德观)，这三者是文化的三方面，三个名词的并列又基本足以代表文化。
与之类似的，在文章的第三段和第四段中，作者又用了medicines, cosmetics(化妆品), toys, clothes, utensils(器皿) or food这一系列的词和trinkets(小装饰物) or souvenirs来代表与 product 相关的概念。这样的用法除了避免重复、使词汇更加丰富多样之外，还可以针对要表达的论点给出更准确的例证，比如medicines, cosmetics, toys, clothes, utensils or food涵盖生活的各个方面，体现出对各行各业就业的影响;而trinkets or souvenirs则又与旅游紧密相关。
