《剑13》Test 3 雅思大作文解析及范文
“Some people say History is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today’s world, subjects like Science and Technology are more important than History. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.”
高分范文
01
[脱离八股，迅速直接的开头，已经明示了立场] No matter how eventful history is, it cannot compare with science and technology. Overall, the study of science and technology is more productive than that of history.
02
[先让步，说说认为历史重要的人的普遍认识] People draw principles from past events inthe hope that [同位语从句] the empirical knowledge [“经验主义的知识”] can apply to their future encounters. The idea is so widespread that few people areskeptical about [be skeptical about : “对xxx持有怀疑”] it. [转折批判前文所述的想法]However, it is actually a misconception [“错误想法”], and the study of history is likely to disappoint the numerous people who hold this view. Every tomorrow is unprecedented [“前所未有的”], and what will happen is hardly a repetition of what happened, and as a result, it may be useless to probe into [“探索”] history for lessons. Experience may get old, and in new conditions, it may have no use. The historians and teachers’ advocate for History is nothing butvulnerable defence of their careers.
03
In addition, the history on textbooks is not necessarily a truthful depiction of [“一种忠于真实的描述”] facts; it instead may be speculation [“猜测”] and sometimes prejudice [“偏见”] or lies. Some historians tamper with [“篡改”]evidence or fabricate [“编造”] stories for various purposes. Even though others have the integrity, they are unable to decipher [“解密”] mysteries or be persuasive in contentious [“引起争议的”] matters.
04
By marked contrast, science and technology are not subjective matters—ideas—but actual skills or substances, such as an electronic device or a chemical that physically exists. And the study of science and technology adopts a pragmatic view [“采用了一种实用主义的眼光”] and has been making tangible progress [“一直以来在做着看得见摸得着的进展”]. For example, the study of medicine will continue constantly finding cures for diseases and improving lives’ wellbeing, and the advances in farming and breeding [“耕种和畜牧/养殖”] will ensure that every mouth of the world’s population is fed. Humanity has a future, because of the vigorous [“倾力的”] study of science and technology.
05
In brief, without history, life would [含蓄/隐蔽的虚拟语气：没有用条件状语从句去直白明显地说出虚拟条件] not stop; however, without science and technology, life would [含蓄/隐蔽的虚拟语气] stand still [“静止不动”] or may even be hopeless.
