  2月18日雅思大作文范文-不用科技,生活会更简单吗?

  小编昨天已经分享过一篇高分范文了哦,具体请:2017年2月18日雅思A类大作文范文

  今天依然是这个话题,不过这是新航道雅思培训师唐伟胜老师的范文,一起来欣赏一下吧!

  Some people think that technology makes life complex, so we should make our life simpler without using the technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

  解析:上周(2月11日)雅思真题的时候,唐老师曾经提出一个概念,那就是“返祖”现象,因为上周作文重复的是2012年4月12日的真题。返祖现象在自然界也好,人类也好,都是rare cases,因此当时唐老师的判断是,上周的返祖现象应该不会再发生,同学们应该把练习的重点放在2013和2014年的真题方面。然而,雅思就是雅思,它就是要击败一切理性预测和所谓的规律:本周作文居然把“返租”再往前推进了将近两个月,重复了2012年2月18的真题!

 

  本次是科技类的题目,问科技让我们的生活更复杂,还是更简单?纵观历年雅思考题,科技类题材频繁出现。主要涉及如下内容:

  科技发展的好坏讨论,包括:(1)机器广泛使用的优缺点;(2)科技进步影响生活是好是坏?(3)科技发展是否带来了消极的影响?(4)机器人对人类的未来很重要还是一个危险的发明?

  太空旅行,包括:(1)航空旅行是否只会惠及最有钱的人?(2)太空旅行是好是坏?

  现代通讯发展的利弊讨论,包括:(1)人们每天都能使用手机是否对个人和社会有消极影响?(2)人们受益于现代通讯技术还是完全没有收益?

  科技综合类,包括:(1)科技与环境:应选择低科技的生活还是利用科技来解决环境问题?(2)科技与艺术:艺术能给我们什么科技所不能给的?

  关于科技对我们生活的好处和坏处,以下思路可供参考。

 

  好处:

  (1)科技让我们的生活更方便;

  (2)科技提高我们的工作效率,帮我们做危险的工作;

  (3)科技让我们得以超越日常生活,体验以前不可想象的世界。

  坏处:

  (1)发展科技需要大量人力物力,而这些资源可以用来改善人们更为迫切的日常生活;

  (2)科技发展有可能让我们失业;

  (3)科技可能让人与人之间的关系变得疏远;

  (4)人类可能被科技所控制。

  再看本题。一般大家都会觉得,科技会让我们的生活更加简单,但这个题目却要求我们反向思维,论证一下科技如何让我们的生活复杂,然后再去论证,虽然科技有时候让我们的生活复杂,但在多数时候(或者应用得当的话),科技会让我们的生活简单。后半部分非常容易,论证科技如何让我们的生活简单,我们能说的太多,比如,通讯科技如何让我们交流起来迅速又简单;机器人如何让我们的工作准确又轻松;交通科技如何让我们的旅行快捷又舒适,等等。但问题就是前半部分,可能让很多烤鸭为难:科技怎么可能让我们的生活复杂?请看唐老师范文如何轻松化解这个难题。

  7分范文

  Technology is not always an angel, rather, in some cases, it may turn out to be a devil making our life rather miserable and complicated. Indeed, besides having to take trouble to learn to use the technology, who has not at least once cursed the technology when he flips open his computer for some important data only to find that the computer breaks down or when he is eager to fly to a city for a life-and-death business negotiation only to be told that his flight is canceled?

  Yet, it does not follow that we can make our life simpler by getting rid of technology. On the contrary, technology can make our life a great deal easier and more comfortable. In the old days when email was not available, we probably had to travel a couple of miles to the post office in order to send a “hello” letter to our friends, but now it is just a matter of a few simple clicks on the computer / cellphone keyboard. Today, we have to climb several hundred feet to the top of a building to do the construction work, yet when robots are developed in future, this job can be performed by them safely and quickly.

  So whether technology is a nuisance or a help depends upon your attitude towards life. If you enjoy the simple life of a hermit like Thoreau, you’d better stay away from any technology, for it will complicate or even ruin your lifestyle, but if your ambition is to become a successful businessman or politician, you must keep abreast of the latest development of technology, for it will surely help you realize your dream.

  Technology is not always an angel, rather, in some cases, it may turn out to be a devil making our life rather miserable and complicated. Indeed, besides having to take trouble to learn to use the technology, who has not at least once cursed the technology when he flips open his computer for some important data only to find that the computerbreaks down or when he is eager to fly to a city for a life-and-death business negotiation only to be told that his flight is canceled?

  科技不总是天使,相反,有些情况下,科技也许会变成魔鬼,让我们的生活相当痛苦和复杂。的确,除了必须不怕麻烦学习使用科技外,当他打开电脑查询重要数据却发现电脑崩溃时,或当他急于飞到某个城市去完成一个生死攸关的商业谈判却被告知航班取消时,谁不曾诅咒过科技,至少一次?

  解析

  (1) 本段直接进入正题,讨论科技有时候会把我们的生活搞得一团糟。本段主要用举例法,是“杀人不见血”的那种举例,也就是不用for example这样恶俗词汇的举例(当然,唐老师并不是说for instance或者for example这样的词组是错误的)。开头段,唐老师还是强调要杜绝模板,通过引入具体生动的内容来解题,而不是空洞的模板。

  (2) in some cases 在某些情况下

  (3) It may turn out to be... 它可能变成......

  (4) complicated 复杂的

  (5) take trouble to do... 不辞辛劳做......

  (6) only to find... 结果发现......

  (7) break down 崩溃

  02

  Yet, it does not follow that we can make our life simpler by getting rid of technology. On the contrary, technology can make our life a great deal easier and more comfortable. In the old days when email was not available, we probably had to travel a couple of miles to the post office in order to send a “hello” letter to our friends, but now it is just a matter of a few simple clicks on the computer / cellphone keyboard. Today, we have to climb several hundred feet to the top of a building to do the construction work, yet when robots are developed in future, this job can be performed by them safely and quickly.

  但是,这并不意味着抛弃科技,我们的生活就会变得更简单。相反,科技能使我们的生活容易得多,舒适得多。在过去,我们没有电子邮件时,也许得走几英里去邮局给朋友寄一封问候信,而今这不过是在电脑/手机键盘上简单敲几下的事儿。今天,我们必须爬上几百英尺高的楼顶去完成建筑工作,但是未来当机器人开发出来时,这项工作就可由它们安全快速地完成了。

  解析

  (1) 本段讨论科技能让我们的生活更简单,主要使用的仍然是举例法。

  (2) It does not follow that... 这不意味着......

  (3) get ride of... 抛弃......

  (4) on the contrary 相反

  (5) available 可以使用的;可以获得的

  (6) It is just a matter of... 它只不过是......(简单的)事情

  So whether technology is a nuisance or a help depends upon your attitude towards life. If you enjoy the simple life of a hermit like Thoreau, you’d better stay away from any technology, for it will complicate or even ruin your lifestyle, but if your ambition is to become a successful businessman or politician, you must keep abreast of the latest development of technology, for it will surely help you realize your dream.

  因此,科技到底是烦你还是帮你,取决于你的生活态度。如果你喜欢过一种像隐士梭罗那般简单的生活,你远离任何科技,因为科技会让你的生活方式复杂化,甚至毁了你的生活方式,但是如果你的志向是成为一名成功的商人或从政的人,那么你就必须紧跟科技的发展,因为科技一定能帮助你实现梦想。

  解析

  (1) 本段谈及自己的观点:在何种程度上科技让我们的生活复杂,在何种程度上科技对我们至关重要。唐老师区分了两类人:一类是隐士一样的人,一类是渴望成功的人。对前者而言,科技是废物,对后者来说,科技就是块宝。

  (2) nuisance /ˈnuː.səns/ n. 令人厌烦的人或物

  (3) depend ... 取决于......

  (4) hermit /ˈhɝː.mɪt/ n. 隐士

  (5) Thoreau 梭罗(美国19世纪初的思想家,曾经独自在山林中隐居2年,写成了的《瓦尔登湖》)

  (6) stay away from... 远离......

  (7) complicate 使复杂化

  (8) keep abreast of... 紧跟......
