2020年1月16日雅思大作文题目：没有室外空间，好还是坏?

　　With growing population in cities, more and more people live in homes with small or no outdoor areas. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

　　解析&审题

　　题材：城市生活

　　题型：双边讨论(推荐)

　　关键词：growing population(人口增长)+ homes with no outdoor areas(没有室外空间)

　　复现情况：新题

　　随着城市人口越来越多，现在人们不能像以前一样，住着带着大大花园的房子。本题要求考生对这个现象进行利弊分析。

　　烤鸭可能会使用一边倒来处理这个题目。比如，认为这个现象当然是不好的：没有花园，就没有空间从事一些与工作无关的休闲活动，只能在屋子里看电视，这对人的身心都不利;此外，没有空间，就势必减少社交的机会，这会导致人与人之间的隔阂和孤独。这样写未必不可，表达好了也是好作文。但唐老师想提醒一下，本题还有一个关键词，即growing population，前面的观点没有涉及这个关键词，因此建议分类双边讨论，即除了以上讨论的负面影响外，还讨论一下其产生的正面影响：没有室外空间，就节约了地方，可以建楼房，解决不断增长的人口带来的住房压力。最后的结论就是：室外空间小了，对个人而言是不利的，但对于整个城市居民的生活而言，则是有利的。

　　With dwindled outdoor areas, people will find themselves confined to the limited number of indoor activities. If in the past they were able to engage in such activities as walking, gardening, weeding, and planting in their backyard, when they got back home from work, now what people can do is sitting in the sofa and watching TV. While being detrimental to their physical health, this will also make their life untolerably boring, especially for those who love to take care of flowers and plants or to take outdoor exercises.

　　随着室外区域的减少，人们会发现自己局限于有限的室内活动。如果过去下班回家后，他们能在后院从事散步、园艺、除草、种树等活动，现在人们能做的就是坐在沙发上看电视。这在不利于他们身体健康的同时，也会让他们的生活变得难以忍受的枯燥，尤其是那些喜欢照料花草或户外运动的人。
