剑桥雅思4test2大作文范文
Happiness is very difficult to define, because it means so many different things to different people. While some people link happiness to wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships. Yet others think that spiritual paths, rather than either the material world or relationships with people, are the only way to true happiness.
Because people interpret happiness for themselves in so many different ways, it is difficult to give any definition that is true for everyone. However, if there are different kinds of happiness for different individuals that the first step in achieving it would be to have a degree of self-knowledge. A person needs to know who he or she is before being able to know what it is that makes him or her happy.
Of course, factors such as loving relationships, good health, the skills to earn a living and a peaceful environment all contribute to our happiness too. But this does not mean that people without these conditions cannot be happy.
Overall, I think an ability to keep clear perspective in life is a more essential factor in achieving happiness. By that I mean an ability to have a clear sense of what is important in our lives (the welfare of our families, the quality of our relationships, making other people happy, etc.) and what is not (a problem at work, getting annoyed about trivial things, etc.).
Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be most important for achieving happiness.
剑桥雅思4test2大作文范文解析:
段
Happiness is very difficult to define, because it means so many different things to different people.
开门见山,一个because从句回答了个问题“Why is it difficult to define?”,mean 对应define
While some people link happiness to wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships.
While 作连词,引导状语从句,主要表时间、对照和让步三种,此处为对照,含义为“而”
体会句型多样性
Link happiness to sth; happiness lies in sth
Wealth and material 物质的; emotions and loving personal relationships 情感的
Yet others think that spiritual paths, rather than either the material world or relationships with people, are the only way to true happiness.
一个yet, 明表转折,实则为递进,把上面提的两点视为世俗的(material world 物质的;relationships with people)和精神的(the spiritual paths),关系还挺复杂的
句型多变,
link happiness to sth, happiness lies in sth 变为sth is the way to happiness;
while+从句 表对照换成 rather than
遣词造句能力之高,只能滔滔江水般的敬仰了
第二段
Because people interpret happiness for themselves in so many different ways, it is difficult to give any definition that is true for everyone.
同义表达上段中的主旨句,
Because it means … 换成 because people interpret …
Happiness is difficult to define 换成 it is difficult to give any definition…
起到连接上段的作用,不过对语言基本功要求蛮高的
However, if there are different kinds of happiness for different individuals that the first step in achieving it would be to have a degree of self-knowledge.
However 转折,指出该段的主旨句, 回到题目第二问‘what factors’, first step是自知之明(self-knowledge)
If 从句明表条件,是为因果
A person needs to know who he or she is before being able to know what it is that makes him or her happy.
进一步说明什么是self-knowledge, 就是幸福对他代表什么(如金钱,美女,权利等等)
第三段
Of course, factors such as loving relationships, good health, the skills to earn a living and a peaceful environment all contribute to our happiness too.
一个factors 把段的幸福含义又搬出来了,其实幸福定义在很多程度上和幸福影响因素是一码事,比如我认为有钱就幸福,那么金钱就是幸福的影响因素。
爱 loving relationships 健康good health 谋生能力the skills to earn a living 平和环境 a peaceful environment 四个因素没有严格的分类
影响因素+ contribute to + 影响结果,这个句型很重要,如The IELTS score contributes to my application 雅思分数影响我的申请,想必大家能共鸣吧。
But this does not mean that people without these conditions cannot be happy.
这句有哲理,我就想不出来,健康等是幸福的既非充分又非必要条件
Cannot 必须这要写,can not是错误的,切记
第四段
Overall, I think an ability to keep clear perspective in life is a more essential factor in achieving happiness.
essential factor继上一个first step之后,粉墨登场了。提醒一下,英文按逻辑重要性,是把最重要的放在最后,中文中叫“压轴戏”
overall 评注性句子状语,大家还有印象吧
perspective [c] 观点,看法 view, opinion 这个词很常用,也有点,记住它
By that I mean an ability to have a clear sense of what is important in our lives (the welfare of our families, the quality of our relationships, making other people happy, etc.) and what is not (a problem at work, getting annoyed about trivial things, etc.).
继续解释perspective, by that 把上下句联系起来,that 指代上句。
Welfare / wellbeing [u] 幸福
etc. 等等,拉丁文, 记住末尾那个点别给弄没了,近义词 and so on
第五段
Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be most important for achieving happiness
这种写法叫做先抑后扬
Self-awareness对应 self-knowledge
Two factors 对应self-knowledge 或 clear perspective

审题
先看问‘why is it very difficult to define?’这好说,幸福难定义吗,就是一个人一个答案;再看下文‘what factors are important in achieving happiness?’转换成‘how can you achieve happiness?’就好理解了,至于到个人如何获得幸福,首先得有自知之名,最重要的是你怎么看待幸福,记得《读者》上有一句话:“认为自己最幸福的人,他就是幸福的人;认为自己最聪明的人,其实是最愚蠢的人。”(这句有点扯了,老外应该不看《读者》)
框架
段:开门见山,段就是“happiness is very difficult to define, because…”,连背景都不介绍了,“Everyone, who spares nothing to pursue his or her own happy life, has yet to reach the consensus over the definition of happiness.”也省去了,省得考官说我是模版。总分模式介绍为什么答案各异,幸福含义分为世俗(secular world)和精神的(spiritual world);有将世俗的分为物质的(material)和人际关系的(relationships)
第二段:指出how to achieve happiness 步first step是self-knowledge。与上段如何过渡得好好考虑考虑,那就说幸福对每个人而言是不同的,但单就某个人而言,他要获取幸福,就首先得有自知之明,然后再解释为什么需要自知之明。
第三段:我还打算谈获取信服最重要的是如何看待人生,这是个压箱底的好货,我得先卖个关子,那么这段就谈那些常见的影响幸福的因素是其中是既非充分又非必要条件。
第四段:关子买完了,那就“图穷匕首现”了,本段总分格式,overall 总体说来,如何看待人生才是获取幸福的关键。然后解释,分清楚对你来说重要和不重要就可以了。
第五段:总结一下,自知之明和如何看待人生是获取幸福的法宝。
雅思写作范文2:
In our society, happiness is an crucial element in our daily life. However, happiness is quite difficult to define. Some people think that happiness replies much on the standard of life. Other people are convinced that to define happiness, we should look into the custom of time, area and so on, standard of life is just one of these factors. For my part, I am in favor of this point of view.
The first reason that can be seen by every person is that time is a very attractive factor for defining happiness. Each period of time has its own costum, and people in different time have different mind of their life. Concequently, the thoughts about happiness are certainly different. For instance, in ancient China, people regarded working in government as their highest goal of life. And in modern Chinese society, youngsters believe that setting their own business or devoting all time in interests are also can be a good way to achieve their life value. Time can decide it a lot.
Another factor that we must consider is that different nations have their own explaination of happiness. It is can be known easily that each country has their own native culture and history, and for a long time they have owned the certain way to consider about this world. Way know that in eastern countries, people often get married when they are in twenties because they really think it is a happiness in their life. On the contrary, in some western countries, young people usually consider to be married late. So we may make a conclusion that nation custom is also a fator of defining happiness.
Further more, personal expierence can affect our defination of happiess. For example, an old man who expierenced the war may advocate that peace is happiness. Others, such as a worker or cahsier, may think that retire at home is happiness. What is happiness is just an individual mind.
And what is important in achieving happiness? I claim that thinking with optimism is quite useful. Use this method, you may find that everything around you is cute and lovely. Apart from that, make a comparation with others is also make you feel happy. When you think your life is boring, you can imagine how people in Iraq run their life. In a word, optimism heart and correct comparation is the most important two factors in realizing happiness.
