雅思写作对本来不太擅长语法逻辑的大陆考生来说是取得的一大门槛,与雅思培训中的其他几项做比较,写作要考察我们的能力比较多,包括语言构架能力,整体逻辑能力等;想要得着实不易。那怎么才能在诸多不利因素下自己呢?除了多积累词汇,还要多看范文,多和范文做比较,找出自己的不足,及时改正。下面北京新航道学校的雅思老师就为大家介绍一些雅思写作方面的材料和大家一起交流学习。
Topic:Is Education Losing Its Value?
Education: Losing its Value
Today, it seems to be universally accepted that increased education is a good thing. Thousands of colleges and millions of students spend vast amounts of time and money chasing pieces of paper. But what is the value of these qualifications? This essay will discuss whether education has been devalued.
Supporters of education (usually teachers or educators, or those in the business of education) say that increased levels of education will open doors for students. Certificates, diplomas, and degrees are held up as a status symbol, a passport to a private club of money and power.
However, the truly powerful are not those with degrees, but people who stand back and look at what is really important in life. These people are found in every part of society. Like many brilliant people, Einstein was a weak math student. Like many successful businessmen, Bill Gates never completed college. Like many inventive and creative people, Edison never went to school. The greatest religious teachers do not have letters after their name. Similarly, many of the world’s political leaders do not have master’s degrees or doctorates. These are the people who shape our lives, and they are too busy with real life to spend time in the paper chase.
Students in college are being sold an illusion. They are made to believe that self-understanding and society approval will come with the acquisition of a piece of paper. Instead of thinking for themselves, and finding their own personality and strengths, they are fitted like square pegs into round holes, in so-called professional jobs.
The role of education is to prepare masses of people to operate at low levels of ability in a very limited and restricted range of activities. Some of these activities are perhaps more challenging than the assembly lines of the past, but the ultimate purpose is equally uninteresting. More worryingly, despite the increased level of education, people are still not genuinely expected to think for themselves. In fact, the longer years of schooling make the job of brainwashing even easier.
There is still a role for study, research, and education. However, we need to examine our emphasis on education for the sake of a piece of paper, and to learn the real meaning and revolutionary challenge of knowledge. 376 words
积累词汇和写作范文无疑是雅思写作的两个关键方法,但同学们要在雅思培训老师的指导下循序渐进的,我们要知道没有一口吃出的胖子,过于求成的心态反而会让我们得不偿失。祝愿大家都能取得满意的成绩。
