在雅思写作考试当中，经常会遇到一些社会生活当中的真切话题，需要学生根据自己的生活阅历来进行解答，本期我们给大家分享一篇雅思写作当中的高频话题：孩子们很难专心学习的原因及解决办法，Children today find it difficult to concentrate on or pay attention to school，希望对备考雅思的小伙伴有所帮助！

原题：

Children today find it difficult to concentrate on or pay attention to school. What are the reasons? How can we solve this problem?

解析：

本题为报告类题目，关键词是children，需要贴近孩子们的情况来讨论他们为什么不能专心学习。孩子们不能专心学习的原因无非就是内因和外因。外因很容易找到，网络游戏的干扰，电视节目的干扰，或者课本太枯燥无聊等等，内因也容易发现，比如现在有很多宣传，不需要读书也能成功，这样孩子们就没有学习的动力了。

解决办法也很简单、直接，比如控制孩子们使用网络的时间，同时告诉孩子们读书的重要性（即使不能挣钱，也能让你的生活更充实和幸福）。

范文：

Students ought to spend most of their time on the school work, but nowadays it is not uncommon that students are simply not able to put their heart to study. There could be two reasons why this happens.

First, today the students are surrounded by so many distractions that they gradually find that learning is too boring and uninteresting. While students two decades ago had nearly no choice but sit in the classroom and read books, students today have easy and fast access to the Internet, on which they can do almost all things. For instance, they can play computer games, watch videos, search for any information they need, and chat with their friends, to mention just a few. So, having been used to this kind of “easy” online life, many young people simply cannot put their heart into the more serious and consuming school work.

Another important factor that affects the students' attitude towards their school work is that a good education seems not as important as before. For quite a long time, receiving a good education was the only way for young people to get a decent job and earn a high salary. But now, this is apparently not the case any more. Influenced by business stars like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, many young people now begin to believe that one’s success does not have much to do the education s/he receives. The students, therefore, are not motivated enough to focus on their learning.

As education of the young is so important to the future of the world, we ought to find ways out of this embarrassing situation. For example, the school and parents should work together to set limits on the time children spend online. The Internet is a good great invention, yet obsession with it will certainly reduce the time that should have been put to more serious work. Besides, young people should be made to understand that life is not just about making money, but about having rich and colorful experience. Education is the best gateway to that rewarding life.
