今天雅思考试的作文题目如下:
How important is it for individuals and countries to think about future rather than focus on present? (2020/9/20)
这个题目重复的是2015年4月30日的原题。
题目问的是:个人和需要着眼于未来,而不是只考虑眼前,这个有多重要?用更为简洁的中文表达就是:个人和未雨绸缪有多重要?
拿到这个题目,我们首先要找到关键词。这里提及了个人(individuals)和(countries),题目专门提及这两类人群,往往就是需要我们去分别讨论。
比如,以前曾经有过一个考题“科学家和游客现在都喜欢去偏远的地区去,你认为这个是好还是坏”,在这个考题中,我们当然需要分别讨论“科学家”和“游客”两类人群去偏远地区的好处和坏处,最后可能得出一个结论就是“科学家去偏远地方进行研究是有好处的,而游客去则是坏处”。
那么在本题中,我们是否需要分别讨论“个人”和“”两种情况呢?老雅认为,如果我们把重点放在论证“未雨绸缪很重要”,那么我们就不需要专门去区分“个人”和“”,因为无论是谁都需要未雨绸缪,而且原因也是完全一样的。但是,如果我们认为“个人”和“”情况不同,比如认为“更需要未雨绸缪,而个人并不特别需要”,或者认为“个人和都需要未雨绸缪,但原因并不相同”,那么,我们就需要对“个人”和“”进行单独讨论。此外,本题问的是how important,而不是why important,因此重点不是讲理由,而是讲未雨绸缪的重要性,或者反过来,不未雨绸缪会带来什么后果。
以上两种思路,在本题中都可以使用,取决于考生更喜欢哪种思路,或者哪种思路写起来更为轻松。
老雅本人更偏好一分为二的讨论方式,因此拟采取分别讨论的方式。基本思路如下:
1. 未雨绸缪对个人和来说都很重要,但重要程度并不相同。
2. 对个人而言,未雨绸缪意味着制订一个未来10年或20年的计划,然后努力去实现这个计划。制订这样的计划会让我们每天过得更有意义,更加充实。但这个计划可以根据个人实际情况变化而变化,而且即使没有这个计划,只要专注现在,个人依然可能收获幸福。
3. 然而对而言,未雨绸缪则是必须的。通常来说,一个需要制订100年甚至更远的计划。制订这个计划,才能确定发展方向,从而在国与国之间的激烈竞争中占得先机【这里可以举例,比如19世纪的工业革命和当今的数字化革命】。如果一个仅关注现在,这个注定没有前途。
4. 结论:未雨绸缪对个人和都是重要的,但似乎对而言更为重要。
这个话题相对抽象,在具体写作中,要注意把抽象的意思具体化。雅思作文需要避免高度抽象化。
以下是老雅的范文。
To think about future is always important to both individuals and countries, but I think it is more so to the latter.
For individuals, to think about future means having a 10-year or 20-year future plan in mind while living at present. The plan is often about what kind of people we would like to become in future or what risks we have to avoid. Needless to say, with such a plan to guide us, our everyday life will be invested with a purpose telling us what to do and where to go. However, this does not mean that without such a plan our life will surely become intolerable. In fact, many people choose to focus on present. As they see it, thinking too much about future may become a huge burden and prevent them from enjoying the moment.
While individuals can enjoy the moment, countries can never do the same. The onlyoption for countries is getting well prepared for future. A country that just focuses on present has no future, no matter how strong it may be now. This is because the world is changing almost on a daily basis. Those countries that fail to make right judgments about the future will soon decline and fall in a world governed by the law of jungle, as is evidenced by Roman Empire and the numerous feudal dynasties in China.
In summary, while it is important for both individuals and countries to have future in mind, there is more at stake for countries than individuals to be future-oriented. Without a future plan, an individual can still live a happy life, but whatawaits a country is nothing else but its disapperance from the world.
