2020年10月10日雅思大作文题目:机器人是好还是坏?
话题:Today, many tasks at home or work have been done by robots. Is this a positive or negative development?
解析&审题
题材:科技
题型:Discussion
关键词:home + work + robots
需要讨论的观点:机器人承担了很多家务和工作,这是好还是坏?
建议思路:双边讨论:讨论机器人的优劣势。
复现情况:与2011年1月8日高度疑似
本次考试关于机器人,近年很少出现,最近一次出现还得追溯到2011年1月8日,那次的考题是这样的:
Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, however, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
可以看出,2011年的考题给出了双方观点,要求考试讨论机器人对人类未来的好处,以及对社会的消极影响。也就是说,这个题目已经给出了明确的讨论范围。
本题问:机器人承担了很多家务(tasks at home)和工作(tasks at work),这个是好还是坏?
这个提问的方式就宽泛很多,当然我们必须兼顾讨论家务和工作。比如,机器人帮我们做家务和工作,可以提高我们的工作效率,帮助人们摆脱危险的或琐碎的工作,让我们节约很多时间,而我们可以用这些时间去从事更有价值或更有创造力的事情。然后,机器人有什么坏处呢?
首先,从制造成本来说,机器人是很昂贵的,尤其是现在还有很多人处于贫困中,花那么多钱来制造只能服务于某些人的机器人得不偿失;另外,大量使用机器人,还可能导致很多人失业;最后,想必大家也看过不少机器人电影,经常有人类被机器人攻击甚至控制的恐怖场景。
因此,机器人话题,应该是难不倒大家的。至于到底选择写什么内容,那就要看自己对自己英语表达水平的评估了!
这样写,大家是不是觉得这篇作文既有话说,又有意思呢?下面请看唐老师亲自撰写的高分范文。
特别提醒:
本题可用双边讨论,也可用一边倒,比如主要讨论机器人的好处。
高分范文
With the advances of science and technology, more and more inventions have come into our life and work, among which robots might be the most debatable one. Some people worry that robots may destroy the society, while others think they are good for our life and work.
As we know, robots may create some problems. For example, the use of robots in many workplaces such as construction sites and restaurants has made many people out of work. Furthermore, as is shown in many science fiction, many people are worried that the time will arrive sooner or later when robots make independent decisions and act on their own, and as a result, harm or even conquer human world.
For all these real or potential problems, robots can provide us with so many benefits to our life and work that we think they are truly useful. As robots can keep working for long hours and will not feel tired, they help to save a lot of our time which we can put to more enjoyable or creative activities. Robots can achieve high efficiency and quality since they seldom make mistakes in their work. Furthermore, robots can work in situations that are considered to be impossibly dangerous for humans, such as cleaning up radioactive waste, so they can reduce safety hazards in workplaces.
In my opinion, things like robots attacking humans are possible only in science fiction and movies. We do not really have to worry about this kind of danger. What we have to admit is that robots do bring a lot of benefits by relieving us of various daily house chores and performing the most difficult and dangerous tasks for us. I believe robots can absolutely make human world a better place to live in.

正如我们所知,机器人可能会造成一些问题。例如,在建筑工地和餐馆等许多工作场所使用机器人使许多人失业。此外,正如许多科幻小说中所显示的,许多人担心,迟早会有一天,机器人做独立决定并自行行动,从而伤害甚至征服人类世界。

尽管有这些真实的或潜在的问题,机器人可以为我们的生活和工作提供如此多的好处,以至于我们认为它们是真正有用的。由于机器人可以长时间工作,不会感到疲倦,它们帮助我们节省大量时间,可以投入更愉快或创造性的活动。机器人可以实现高效率和高质量,因为他们在工作中很少犯错误。此外,机器人可以在被认为对人类极端危险的情况下工作,例如清理放射性废物,这样它们就可以减少工作场所的安全危害。

在我看来,像机器人攻击人类这样的东西只出现在科幻小说和电影中。我们真的不必担心这种危险。我们必须承认的是,机器人确实可以减轻我们的各种日常家务劳动,并为我们完成最困难和最危险的任务,从而给我们带来很多好处。我相信机器人可以使人类世界成为一个更好的生活场所。
