雅思写作Task范文国际化旅游的利弊

雅思写作Task2范文：国际化旅游的利弊现在，国际游是最大的一项产业。但是，国际游虽然促进了不同国家人民的相互了解，更使他们的关系紧张。这是一篇关于此论题的雅思范文。认真研读一定的雅思范文及作文模板可以帮助我们检验自己的写作水平，并能很好地吸收和应用优秀范文里的优秀内容。 Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Model Answer: The growth of tourism and the numbers of people travelling to other countries for their vacations has led to debate as to whether this is beneficial. I believe that there are many problems which arise out of the tourist industry, and will examine these in detail. Many people argue that travel broadens the mind. However, this statement does not fully hold water. I would argue that spending a few weeks in another country is not long enough to gain a proper understanding of an alien culture. A foreigner visiting Britain might be met with the traditional British reserve, and mistakenly conclude that the British are unfriendly. Furthermore, some people are unwilling to open their minds. A Western traveller to an Arab country is unlikely to consider that the veiling of women is acceptable. Being a tourist in a foreign country brings with it problems that can lead to dislike of the native people. Firstly, a foreigner is vulnerable, and is often ripped off by locals. Secondly, the language barrier can lead to misunderstandings. Thirdly, tourists are often hassled to

雅思写作Task2范文：全球化使文化特征消失

Some people fear that globalization will inevitably lead to the total loss of cultural identity. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Model Answer: Globalization means that in some ways people around the world are becoming more and more similar. We often eat the same food, watch the same TV programmes, listen to the same music and we wear the same clothes. Some of this at least can be blamed on the spread of multinational brands available all over the world. On the surface, it may appear as if the global diversity of cultural identities is being lost. If, the argument goes, people in Tokyo and London look and dress the same, then that must mean that cultural differences are disappearing. However, I would argue that this is a very narrow definition of culture and that in fact cultural differences are as present as ever.

雅思写作题目解析之出境旅游的影响

雅思写作题目解析之出境旅游的影响【文化类】： International travel often lead people have some prejudices rather than broad minds. What are the main reasons of this phenomenon? What do you think people can get better understanding of the countries they visit? 国际游经常使人们产生文化偏见，而非帮助他们开拓视野，原因何在?如何帮助人们更好地理解旅游目的地。【点评】：雅思旧题，原题重现，角度较冷，写作较难。尤其考察的头脑风暴，人生阅历，以及相关的语料库的积累和运用。本题属于分析问题解决问题的提问角度，符合雅思写作轮转提问的规律，但是，其角度比较简单。其考察内容，对于一般考生，想在现场完成高分作文，阻力较大。本篇解析为旧文润色，语料库覆盖全部雅思提问角度。分析问题和解决问题布局图：首段：背景介绍 +(问题影响)+ 写作目的二段：分析问题产生的根源：(客观上+主观上)(社会原因+家庭原因+个人原因) 三段：问题的解决策略展开：(针对原因：政府如何做;企业如何做;媒体如何做;教育者如何做;家庭如何做;个人如何做) 尾段：再次亮明观点(强调问题的解决应该是各方的协同努力) 【头脑风暴】：人人渴望旅行，以拓宽视野和丰富阅历，但是，有时候，旅行的过程使游客们产生的却是文化偏见，而非精神的愉悦和视野的开拓。例证拓展：在韩国，抚摸人的头是文化禁忌之一;是一种不尊重人的表现。例证拓展：在泰国，女性在参观寺庙的时候，如果衣服露出膝盖和肩膀会被认为是一种不尊敬宗教信仰的体现。例证拓展：在西方国家给服务者小费是一种习惯和风俗，尤其是在热门的旅游目的地。例如，在马尔代夫，很多欧美人习惯性地服务生小费，但是，有些中国人就喜欢给小费(因为中国没有这个传统)，这时候，如果有服务生索取小费，游客不给，矛盾冲突，在所难免。(比较有意思的是：如果游客说没有小费可给，服务生会说：留下手表、项链、相机作为礼物也是可以) 例证拓展：台湾人是不食狗肉，在中国大陆，很多地方，例如延边，人们以狗肉为美食(延边人有句话：鲜族人过年，要了狗命了)。可以想象：如果台湾人到延边去旅行，被邀请吃狗肉，他们不会认为这是一种盛情款待，反而，会感到不解甚至愤怒。【原创范文赏析】：首段：背景介绍 + 写作目的 Such is human nature to explore those exotic countries and feel the sense of refreshment. Many people desire to expand their minds and enrich their experience of the world during the process of visiting their dream tourism destination. However, some problems inevitably ensue. Instead of feeling the pleasure of travel， what some sightseers feel are only culture prejudice, conflicts and misunderstandings.

雅思大作文范文-全球化

Some people believe that charities should give aid to those who need the aid most, wherever they live. Some people believe that charity organizations would better concentrate on people in their own countries instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Concern about humanitarian assistance has been heightened in recent years. Although it illustrates a moral ideal of mankind, many people who hold opposing views think that the welfare of fellow citizens is the priority. International aid has its weaknesses but its importance should not be denied. The main reason why international donation agencies should view international aid from a global perspective is that their funds can help the citizens of those recipient countries to combat poverty, disease and inequality. We should first recognize that citizens of developing countries are in desperate need of aid, because they are susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as wars. In those war-torn or poverty-stricken countries, where resources are scanty, there is a high demand for food, medicine tents and shelters. In addition, humanitarian action can restore some of their basic rights, such as the right to receive education. This is also consistent with the universal principle of supporting vulnerable populations. Those who cannot provide financial support can work as international volunteers and deliver services, such as training and medical service, to those needy people. Despite the heightened importance of international aid, people have discovered

雅思作文环境类作文

7月26日雅思写作解析与范文（环境话题）题目：Some people think that environmental problems are too big for individuals to solve. Others, however, believe that these problems cannot be solved if individuals do not take actions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 解析：环境话题是雅思考试每年的必考题，今年更是多次考到。这类话题主要涉及能源、资源和生态环境。7月26号这个题目也算是环境话题里的老题目了。前几年曾经多次出现这个题目。保护环境当然是每个人的责任，只不过政府的责任更大。本文的主体段第一段是写得个人力量有限，主要靠政府的法律和行政权力（legal and administrative power），以及企业的财力和技术。举了几个例子，比如政府颁布法律（enact strict laws），惩罚排放污水（discharge waste water）的企业，开发新技术等等，这些都是个人力量无法做到的。主体第二段写得是个人能够为保护环境做一些事情，依然采用举例论证，比如节约用水，减少开车。这些都是individuals能够做的事情，都能够节约资源，改进城市空气质量。这些素材在之前的环境类话题中也多次写到过。最后一段进行总结。政府、个人，包括全社会的每一个成员都应该参与保护环境。 There is no doubt human society is faced with serious environmental problems and immediate measures should be taken to solve these problems. However, what role ordinary people should play in environmental protection is a topic of debate. Some people think that the power of the individual is too small and the solution to environmental problems lies with the government and large enterprises. If the government can use legal and administrative power to

0210第3次课ABC Some people believe that public health should be improved by increasing the number of sports facilities, while others believe that it has little effects other measures should be taken to solve this problem. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 政府&行为 A提供体育设施B方便大家参加体育活动（take part in sport），鼓励一种健康的生活方式（encourage a healthy/active lifestyle）C提高人们的健康（create health benefits） A 政府可以加大宣传（launch awareness campaigns） B 说一下不运动(an inactive lifestyle/inactivity)的坏处（health problems/adverse health consequences） C 鼓励人们去运动 A 政府可以制定法律（enforce laws） B 强迫人们改变生活方式（adopt a healthy lifestyle），改变一些破坏健康的行为（health-damaging habits） C 提高健康 People tend to lay emphasis on their fitness today, and I agree that the number of sports facilities should be increased to satisfy their needs. Apart from this, some other approaches should also be taken. It is argued that the access to facilities can provide people with opportunities to take part in sport and improve health effectively. They are likely to exercise regularly in the gym and to make the most of playgrounds and public parks for physical activity. This active lifestyle can create health benefits. These facilities are particularly important for those city dwellers who find it difficult to maintain physical activity due to the lack of sports equipment. It is argued that the access to facilities can provide people with opportunities to take part in sport and improve health effectively. They are likely to exercise regularly in the gym and to make the most of playgrounds and public parks for physical activity. This active lifestyle can create health benefits. It is also worth mentioning that these facilities are available free of charge, so more people will play sport. On the other hand, alternative approaches are proposed and governments can launch awareness campaigns to promote a healthy lifestyle. People will realise that living an inactive lifestyle may cause many health problems, such as obesity and heart disease. They will be encouraged to exercise more frequently, instead of spending many hours in front of the screen every day. In my opinion, enforcing laws to curb some unhealthy habits can also have a positive impact on citizens’ health. Tough punishment can prompt them to adopt a healthy lifestyle and break health-damaging habits. For example, governments can impose a heavy tax on tobacco and alcohol, thereby discouraging smoking and drinking. It is therefore easier to help people maintain health, especially for those who fail to discipline themselves.

雅思大作文范文：旅游业文化保护

雅思大作文范文：旅游业文化保护本文是雅思大作文范文《旅游业文化保护》，供大家阅读参考。认真研读一定的雅思范文及作文模板可以帮助我们检验自己的写作水平，并能很好地吸收和应用优秀范文里的优秀内容。范文 There is little room for doubt that tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. However, its impact on culture remains a source of constant debate. This essay will elaborate on both positive and negative effects of tourism from a cultural perspective. Providing economic incentives for cultural preservation is unarguably one of the main contributions of tourism. To many tourists, culture and history are what they first consider when choosing a destination. Their mindset has been recognised by many tourism sites and money has been subsequently directed toward cultural protection, including the maintenance of key historical sites. Tourism is therefore one of the primary forces contributing to the preservation of a culture. In addition to raising financing, tourism can make an indigenous culture known to the world and rally support worldwide to protect it.
