12022年4月23日雅思大作文题目

In many cities, planners tend to arrange shops, schools, offices, and homes in specific areas and separate them from each other. Do you think the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages?

Introduction

To better residents’ living environment, many municipal governments tend to divide the city into several areas according to diverse functions, such as commercial, educational, industrial and residential activities. Personally, I deem this policy as quite short-sighted.

解析

Urban planning母题下的题目，虽然是大多数考生不太熟悉的话题，但好在是2017年的一道老题。联系现实，就目前大多数城市而言，并不是按功能分区，除了工业会挪到郊区外，其余商业、学校、住宅都是放一起配套规划。

Ø municipal adj. 城市的;市政的

Body 1

Planning the city based on functions does have some edges. To commence, such a policy can create a sound living environment and therefore improve residents’ life quality. This can especially be demonstrated by the relocation of factories to the outskirts. Once the industrial zone is moved to the countryside, which is far from the housing areas, residents can thus be less impacted by noise and air pollution that most factories produce. / Besides, this policy can to some extent bring certain convenience to citizens, especially newcomers or those directionally-challenged ones, since it is much easier for them to navigate. For instance, if one wants to do some shopping, the only thing he or she needs to do is to head directly towards the commercial district and then spend a few hours comparing goods and prices in shopping malls there.

解析

好处：1. 工业区统一迁出，远离人口活动多的区域，可以给居民提供良好的生活环境;2. 较为便利：按功能分区对“路痴”友好，且能在一个区域内满足居民对应的需求

Ø edge n. 好处，优势

Ø demonstrate vt. 证明

Ø impact vt. 影响

Ø directionally-challenged adj. 分不清方向的

Ø navigate vt./ vi. (为…)导航，指引方向

Body 2

However, the detriments that this policy has must not be overlooked. The most distinct one is that this kind of city planning can actually inconvenience residents. To illustrate, separating those districts with a certain function means a much longer commuting distance if individuals wish to do more than one specific task a day, such as picking up their children from the school after work and then going shopping for some ingredients for dinner. Another problem is that there may be more traffic congestion, especially from the residential area to the office district during the rush hour, as people are very likely to have similar lifestyles and daily schedules.

解析

坏处：1. 通勤时间增加 → 不便利;2. 高峰期更容易拥堵

Ø overlook vt. 忽视，忽略

Ø inconvenience vt. 给[某人]带来不便，添麻烦;打扰

Ø congestion n.[U] (交通)拥塞;塞车

Conclusion

In light of the above, industrial zones should be designed together far from the residential areas, but amenities like shops, schools, and hospitals should be planned adjacent to each housing district.

解析

工业区应统一挪到郊区，而学校、商业、医院等与居民日常生活息息相关的应配备在住宅周围，而非按功能分区独立

Ø amenities n. [常作复数]便利设施

Ø adjacent to adj. 邻近
