雅思7分大作文范文 ：学生从小就得努力学习是好是坏？2017年8月19日雅思大作文题目“In recent years, the pressure of students is increasing. They are pushed to work hard at very young age. Do you think it’s a positive or negative development?”

　　本周雅思作文题目是关于“孩子们从小就得努力学习是好还是坏”这样一个话题。唐老师相信，这样的话题对我们中国学生来说，不会陌生。

　　只要各位烤鸭稍微想一想，我们中哪一个不是在“不输在起跑线”的压力下成长起来的呢?

　　为了“不输在起跑线”，我们从小就开始背唐诗或《论语》，从小就开始做奥数、学英语，从小就开始学钢琴或书法，让我们本应快乐的童年充满了苦涩的记忆。

　　那么，这个是好还是坏呢?新航道唐老师一直坚持认为，“不输在起跑线”本身并没有错误，但是如何才能“不输在起跑线”，我们人其实是有误区的。“不输在起跑线”并不意味着强迫孩子学那些他们不感兴趣的东西，或者强迫他们学习与年龄不相适应的知识，这样不仅会破坏孩子的童年记忆，还会打击孩子们对学习的热情。

　　为了对付孩子们长大后会面临的越来越大的压力，应培养和发展孩子们的兴趣和学习热情，教会他们正确的学习方法和态度，这样当他们进入大学乃至大学毕业后，一方面有化解压力的能力，也拥有化解压力的良好心态，这才可能导致他们幸福的人生。

　　因此，唐老师就从两个角度来论述自己的观点：

　　其一，从小强迫孩子学习，从学业本身来说，会导致孩子们失去学习的热情;

　　其二，这样做可能让孩子无法培养看待和对付压力的正确态度，从而有害于他们的人生幸福。这样论述本次考试，各位烤鸭能get到吗?

　　老师笔记

　　01

　　These days we can see many parents pushing their kids to learn all kinds of things by taking them to various after-school programs. This is because, as these parents would claim, that the pressure the kids will face in future is increasing and therefore they should “get started” as early as possible. But personally, I disagree with thesewell-intentioned parents.

　　现在，我们可以看到许多父母带着孩子们到各种各样的课后班去学习各种知识。这是因为，正如这些父母所声称的那样，孩子们未来面临的压力在增加，所以他们应该尽早“开始”。但就我个人而言，我不同意这些好心的父母。

　　解析

　　(1) claim 宣称

　　(2) well-intentioned 好心好意的

　　Admittedly, the kids in early-start mode may excel their peers in school grades, but this mode can also result in negative consequences. Forcing a kid to sit at home and learn things in which he/she does not have any interest at all when he/she is supposed to play with other kids outside might eventually kill the kid’s passion for learning. That is exactly why many kids who did really well in primary school end up nowhere when they get to the university level. So, in order not to drain up the kids’ oil tank, I would suggest that they be left on the playground as much as possible rather than in their study.

　　诚然，这些“早开始”模式的孩子可能比同龄的孩子成绩好，但这种模式也会导致负面的后果。当孩子应该在外与其他孩子一起玩耍，却强迫他/她坐在家里学习完全不感兴趣的东西，这可能最终会浇灭孩子的学习热情。这就是为什么许多孩子小学时成绩，但到了大学阶段就一事无成。所以，为了不把孩子们的油箱给抽干，我建议尽量把他们留在操场上，而不是书房里。

　　解析

　　(1) admittedly 诚然，的确

　　(2) excel 超越

　　(3) result in 导致

　　(4) eventually 最后，最终

　　(5) end up 沦落到......

　　Furthermore, pushing the kids to learn at their early age may give them the harmfulimpression that life is just like a must-win battle in which they have no alternativebut work still harder. For many people, this life philosophy may sound logical enough, but for young kids, this is a little too much because it will spoil their care-free childhood on the one hand, and do no good to develop their right attitude towards life on the other. That is the reason why so many early-start children do not know how to cope with competition and pressure in their future work.

　　此外，强迫孩子们在很小的时候就努力学习可能会给他们一种有害的印象，认为生活就像是一场必胜的战争，他们除了努力工作别无选择。对许多人而言，这种生活哲学听起来很合乎逻辑，但对于小孩子来说，这有点太过分了，因为这一方面会破坏他们无虑的童年，另一方面也不利于他们培养对生活的正确态度。这就是为什么这么多“早开始的”孩子不知道如何应对未来工作的竞争和压力的原因。

　　解析

　　(1) impression 印象

　　(2) alternative 选择

　　(3) spoil 破坏

　　(4) care-free 无虑的

　　04

　　To conclude, pushing young kids to work hard is harmful, rather than beneficial, to their future. To maintain their passion for learning and life, the really wise parents should leave the choices to kids themselves about when to learn and what to learn.

　　总之，强迫年幼的孩子努力学习对他们的未来是有害的，而不是有益的。为了保持孩子们对学习和生活的热情，真正明智的父母应该把选择留给孩子们，让他们决定何时学习和学习什么。

　　解析

　　(1) maintain 保持，维持
