从1月18日到7月11日，也就是从上次雅思考试到现在，已经过去了半年，在这半年时间里，世界到底经历了什么，相信每位读者都感同身受。
无论如何，雅思还是如期而至了。
也许是巧合，疫情过后的次雅思考试，涉及的是运动这个话题。题目中给出了两个对立观点：运动在社会中起什么作用，抑或不过是一种休闲活动?就这个问题，我们建议进行双边讨论，先讨论运动的(社会)作用，然后讨论作为休闲的运动。那么，运动到底有什么作用呢?首先当然是运动有助于个人身体健康，其次是运动可以提升国民的精神(比如锻炼意志和坚持)，专业运动员在国际赛场争金夺银还可以树立国家形象等。另一方面，运动的确也是一种休闲，让人们在繁忙的工作之后得到一种休息。
老雅多次说过，双边讨论的作文，在结尾段一定要给出自己的观点。就本题而言，我们可以认为：的确，运动对很多个人而言，就是一种休闲，但是对于整个社会，乃至国家而言，它的作用却远远超过休闲。这样的结尾，采取的策略是：对题目中的两个观点都表示同意，但限定两个观点适用的不同人群。
高分范文
Looking up the word “sport” in any dictionary, we will soon find that it assumes two different meanings: it may either refer to some sport activities such as playing basketball and soccer, or some leisure activities such as taking a walk. Though this means that sport can be a leisure activity, I do believe it has a much more important role to play in our society.
It is indeed true that doing sport can give us a break from the day’s heavy work. Anyone who has ever played tennis or golf after a long, exhausting business negotiation will understand how relaxing and enjoyable the sport time is. While they engage in sport of any sort, even simple as jogging, people will be able to find a way to get out of the normal rhythm of their life, and feel a change taking place in them. And this is exactly what “leisure” is supposed to mean.
Yet socially sport is far more significant than just being a leisure activity. Besides making people stronger physically, sport can actually make people healthier spiritually and emotionally. Just as an individual who does regular physical exercise may be better at dealing with the problems in his life, a community (or a country) may also be more harmonious if its people love sport. More importantly, doing sport can help foster the sense of fair play, which is extremely important for the maintenance and development of any society.
In my view, sport is a leisure activity, but it is true only at the individual level, because socially it is far more than that. That is exactly why all governments across the world would encourage their people to engage in sport by building sport facilities for them or training the top athletes to compete in international sport games.

查阅任何字典中的“运动”一词，我们很快就会发现它有两个不同的含义：它可能指的是一些体育活动，如打篮球和足球，或者一些休闲活动，如散步。虽然这意味着运动可以是一种休闲活动，但我相信它在我们的社会中扮演着更重要的角色。
解析
(1) 本段从“运动”的两种含义入手，提出观点。
(2) Look up ... in dictionary 在词典中查......
(3) Assume 承担;认为

It is indeed true that doing sport can give us a break from the day’s heavy work. Anyone who has ever played tennis or golf after a long, exhausting business negotiation will understand how relaxing and enjoyable the sport time is. While they engage in sport of any sort, even simple as jogging, people will be able to find a way to get out of the normal rhythm of their life, and feel a change taking place in them. And this is exactly what “leisure” is supposed to mean.
的确，做运动可以让我们从一天繁重的工作中解脱出来。任何在漫长而疲惫的商务谈判后打过网球或高尔夫的人都会明白运动时间是多么放松愉快。当他们从事任何类型的运动，即使是简单的慢跑，人们将能够找到一种方法，摆脱正常的生活节奏，并感觉到一种变化在身上发生，而这正是“休闲”的意思。
解析
(1) 本段论证运动与休闲的关系。
(2) Exhausting 疲惫的
(3) Engage in... 从事

然而，从社会角度看，运动远比休闲活动更重要。除了使人身体更强壮外，运动实际上还能使人在精神和情感上更健康。就像一个经常进行体育锻炼的人可能更善于处理生活中的问题，如果一个社区(或一个国家)的人民热爱运动，也可能更和谐。更重要的是，做运动可以帮助培养公平竞争意识，这对于任何社会的维护和发展都是极其重要的。
解析
(1) 本段讨论运动的作用。
(2) Spiritually 精神上地
(3) Regular 经常的;规则的
(4) Harmonious 和谐的
(5) Fair play 公平竞争
(6) Maintenance 维护

That is exactly why all governments across the world would encourage their people to engage in sport by building sport facilities for them or training the top athletes to compete in international sport games.
在我看来，运动是一种休闲活动，但只有在个人层面才是如此，因为在社会上，它远远不止于此。这就是为什么世界各国政府建造体育设施或训练运动员参加国际体育比赛来鼓励其人民从事体育运动。
解析
(1) 本段在双边讨论的基础上，明确表明自己的观点。
(2) Individual 个人的
(3) Sport facilities 体育设施
