在前面我们朗思教育陈老师给同学们整理了很多雅思写作范围,希望对同学们的备考提供一些帮助,本期我们陈老师给大家带来雅思写作高分范文:购物欲与浪费,这个也是在雅思考试当中经常出现的话题。

第一题
【20180623大陆】【20190202大陆】More and more people want to buy famous brands with clothes, cars and other items. What are the reasons behind this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
这道题我没有采用寻常的一个问题一个主体段的架构,而是把购买动机分成“追求面子的消费”和“追求质量的消费”两种,分别讨论其原因和影响,最终得出这个趋势是中性趋势的结论。

Nowadays, there is a growing popularity for brand-name products. Some of such purchases are conspicuous consumption, while others are just in pursuit of good quality. Therefore, I regard this as a neutral development, depending on their motivation.

Some top name items purchasers identify themselves with the products they consume, equating possessions with success. For them, well-known or even luxury brands cannot only bring them gratification, but more importantly, social identity. To own a Porsche marque equals to enter the upper class, although such purchases may be way beyond their affordability, and hence forcing them to tighten their belt. In my opinion, such behavior is irrational and superficial, since material possessions can only bring short-term happiness, and does not guarantee an entrance into another class.

However, other users of brand-name products appear more levelheaded, since the thing they seek in such commodities is quality. For example, people often choose cars of famous brands, since they provide a greater sense of safety, freeing people from worries about car injuries, especially for those who often drive on the expressway. More to the point, high-quality goods can endure for years, making the cost per use lower, and surprisingly, even decreasing carbon footprint. To illustrate, clothes of famous brands often have greater endurance, which can serve for a longer period compared with fast fashion items with a reduced quality. Therefore, I regard such purchase choices smart, environmental-friendly, and economic.

In conclusion, the impacts of the pursuit of famous brands depend on its motivation. Done rationally, it brings benefits to both individuals and society. Otherwise, extravagant shopping will impose an economic burden too heavy for an individual to bear.

第二题
【20191214亚太】【20180908大陆】In many countries today people are living in a ‘throw-away society’, where things are used in a short time and then thrown away. What are its causes? What are its problems?

这篇文章中“因”和“果”我各写了两方面。由于因果并非一一对应,所以采取的段落排布是一段写两个因,另一段写两个果,并且在开头、结尾段分别进行总结。

Nowadays there is a growing global consumerism culture, in which people tend to discard commodities only after a few uses. Both the media influence and business strategies have led to this phenomenon, which will impose heavy burdens on personal budgets and the environment.

The media are promoting a consumer culture by equating material possessions with success. Under such influence, people tend to regard commodities as their source of gratification, which leads to unfettered consumption. They are educated to believe that the more they buy, the happier they will become, and the more benefits they will bring to the economy and society. The manufacturers are further fueling this trend by planned obsolescence, making goods less endurable or go out of trend faster. The latter is especially true in the fast fashion industry, with perceived durability much shorter than physical durability due to frequent launches of seasonal products.

The continual buying, consuming, and throwing away of material possession affect the shoppers’ economic status as well as the environment. Those who splurge out on loads of new clothes, cosmetic, and daily necessities even before the old ones are worn out, often turn out to be unable to make ends meet. Everything they purchase has consumed a large sum of resources to produce, energy to transport, and packaging to present. When discarded after a short period of usage, the commodities will pose risk to the environment again, since many of them are non-biodegradable, or will cause soil and water pollution if not processed properly.

In conclusion, the throw-away trend caused by companies’ manufacturing and marketing strategies will lead to personal expenditures uncovered, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.

第三题
【20190117大陆】In some countries, people waste a lot of food which is bought in shops and restaurants. What do you think are the reasons? What can be done to solve this problem?

这篇文章我找了两个截然不同的浪费食物的原因:一是“面子工程”,二是健康意识(只吃到七分饱,不吃剩菜)。第二个主体段分别针对原因给了解决方案,这两个解决方案可以分别解决shops和restaurants的浪费现象。

Food waste has become a common phenomenon in some countries, which is due to either conspicuous hospitality or raised health awareness, which can be effectively solved by promoting informed shopping and ordering decisions.

In many cultures, hosts tend to order more dishes than their guests can consume to show their hospitality or economic strength. Such conspicuous behaviours are due to the common belief that the more food left, the more hospitable the inviters appear to be. Therefore, a certain degree of waste is a key factor for a cordial treat. Another contributing factor to scraps is that people have better concern for health. Instead of overeating until feeling stuffed, people tend to leave off with an appetite. And they no longer eat leftovers, not to mention decaying food. Therefore, leftovers or expired food are often discarded.

To tackle such problems, changing public perception is the most effective method. Public service advertisements need to be devised to promote a modest treating and dining style. Governments can incentivise restaurants to provide dinner-for-one menus or serve only half portions. Restaurants can in turn charge fees for leftovers, or advise the customers to order less in advance. The same strategies apply to supermarkets and groceries as well, who need to order adequate food, keeping the shelf life in mind. By doing so, the chances of customers buying products reaching sell-by dates are reduced, which will be less likely to be tossed.

To conclude, food waste originated from social and health considerations can be reduced with proper propaganda.

大家知道雅思作文里有四项评分标准,其中最容易被大家忽视的就是Lexical resources。

词汇上拿不到高分的情况分为两种。

一类是多样性不足。导致这一种的情况主要是疏于拓展词汇,有些同学认为雅思作文的用词只需要自然、准确即可,这其实是走向了“极简主义”的极端。自然、准确固然重要,但如果不停地重复用词,尤其是不停地重复题目里的词汇,词汇的分数是肯定不会高的。

另一类是准确性不足。这类学生背了很多单词,一到考场就一股脑地堆积上去。却忽视了词汇是否适用于语境、搭配是否正确、词性是否使用恰当等具体运用上的细节。对于第二种情况,词汇得分最多6分,也不会更高了。

要想准确的运用词汇,需要去了解每个单词的拼写、词义、语域、内涵意义、语法形态和搭配,工作量其实是很大的。不仅是处在备考期的同学,包括我们整个英语教学,都一直是重语法而轻词汇,这一偏差这几年才慢慢纠正过来。

针对词汇和语法表达,朗思教育开设了雅思写作专题训练课,帮助同学们快速提高雅思写作水平、考取高分!想要咨询课程上课时间及费用信息,可以直接拨打电话咨询(0571-28183693),也可以直接在线给我们老师留言,老师会及时解答您的疑问。
