2016年9月3日雅思大作文题目
Some people think having more TV channels is good because they will have more choices. While other people think too many TV channels only lead to a lot of poor quality TV programs. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
解析
本题问:电视频道多,是好事还是坏事?有人说,电视频道多当然好,我们就有了更多选择;另外有人却说,频道多了,有选择困难,更重要的是会出现很多粗制滥造的频道节目,浪费我们的时间。就这个题目,我相信99%的学生都会倾向于赞同前一个观点:毕竟,拥有选择的权利是最重要的,当世界上只剩下一个最牛逼、节目最上乘的电视频道时,你就知道频道多点就是真好啊!对此,唐老师可谓感同身受。唐老师小的时候不知为什么特别喜欢吃糖果,但那时糖果品种很有限,于是不停地吃同一种糖果,以至于后来见到那种糖果就想吐(throw up; feel sick) !这个题目可能对那些00后有些难度,因为他们长期泡在网络中,可能会问:电视频道是什么?对于这种too young, too naive的新新人类,唐老师只能表示无语了。
那么好,本作文的思路大体应该是这样的:段,先引入话题,现在电视频道很多(如果有数据更好,据老雅了解,全球电视频道数量已经达到15000左右!),然后提出两类观点(语言不要与题目重复,要改写),最后给出自己的观点(比如,虽然电视频道过多会引起选择困难或者节目总体质量下降,但我还是喜欢拥有更多电视频道);第二段,电视频道多的好处之一(比如,在物质层面,当代社会知识分化,我们可以看不同类型的频道,每一个频道都会给我们提供不同的内容);第三段,电视频道多的好处之二(比如,在精神层面,我们拥有选择的自由,这比专制式的只有少数几个频道带给我们的满足感要多得多);第四段,结论段。
推而广之,在这种“一边倒”的论述结构中,烤鸭们的困难往往是找不到足够的理由来证明自己的观点。其实很简单,大家可以从三个方面去破解一个事物/话题:物质层面(包括收入、成本、身体、空间、个人等)、心理层面(包括情感、精神等)、社会层面(包括集体、社区、道德、法律等)。英文表达水平较低的烤鸭,可将注意力放在物质层面,而英文水平表达能力较强的,则既要考虑物质层面,也好考虑心理层面,甚至社会层面,这样写出来的作文才具有很好的层次感和逻辑感,也才能够限度地打动考官。

With the development of digital technology come the numerous TV channels that have mushroomed into our life. Statistics show globally there are more than 15,000 different TV channels, and in China alone, the number is 1300! Many people do not like this development, suspecting the rapid increase of channel number will only lead to mediocrity in quality. While this suspicion may contain a grain of truth, I still believe in more channels mainly for two reasons.
开头段,先引出电视频道越来越多这一现象,然后重述题目的观点,最后提出自己的观点。
在描述现象时,唐老师引用了数据,并有statistics show...来引出数据。
mushroom本来是“蘑菇”,也可以用作动词,像蘑菇一样迅速生长。
...the rapid increase of channel number will only lead to mediocrity in quality是对题目原句...too many TV channels only lead to a lot of poor quality TV programs的重新表述。Mediocrity 是“低劣,一般”的意思。
...may contain a grain of truth, 意思为“......也许有一些道理”。多数烤鸭可能都会使用“...is true / reasonable in some ways / aspects / respects” 这样的句型。
Obviously, more channels provide TV viewers with more opportunities to enjoy their own favorite programmes. As far as I know, some TV viewers are more interested than others in educational programmes which give them knowledge in specialised fields. At the same time, there are some viewers who would like to be entertained and others who would watch TV as a window to the outside world. To cater to the tastes of different viewers, it is important that we have various channels, such as news, music, movies, sports and travel, among others. Undoubtedly, when more and more channels spring up, there may be some poor quality channels, but with many channels competing for viewers, chances are that we can enjoy programmes of higher quality.
本段论证赞同多频道的个理由:可以欣赏更多节目。很显然,这里需要讲不同观众有不同的需要。唐老师在写作时,注意变换了不同的句型,如some TV viewers are more interested in ...; there are some viewers who would like to...
Cater to... 迎合;照顾
Chances are that... 有可能。烤鸭们都会it is possible that...; it is likely that...
More importantly, more channels give viewers the freedom of choice. When offered a great variety of TV channels, one sitting in front of TV may have some difficulty deciding what to watch, yet this feeling is more a “sweet” bitterness, just like what we experience when we go into a supermarket and are at a loss about our choices. If you do not think much of this freedom, just try to imagine what you would feel when you could only watch one channel and one programme, even if it were the best one in the world!
本段论证支持多频道的第二条理由:选择自由。利用比较和假设两种方法来论证选择自由的重要性。
When offered a great variety of TV channels, one sitting in front of TV may have some difficulty deciding... 这是一个过去分词短语前置做状语,更一般的句型是这样的:When one is offered a great variety of TV channels, he/she sitting in front of TV may...
Have some difficulty doing... 做......有些困难
To conclude, more channels can give TV viewers more opportunities and freedom of choice, which are far more important than anything else, including the possible drop of quality of some TV programmes.
本段是结论段,总结了前文的理由,重述自己的观点。
注意唐老师在行文上如何避免与前文重复。
参考译文
伴随数字技术的发展而来的是无数电视频道,它们如雨后春笋般进入到我们的生活。数据显示,全球共有15000个不同的电视频道,仅在中国,数量就达到1300个。许多人不喜欢这个现象,认为频道的快速增长只能带来质量的低劣。这种观点也许有一定道理,但我还是相信更多频道,原因有两个。
很显然,更多频道给电视观众提供了更多机会来欣赏他们自己最喜欢的节目。据我所知,有些观众比其他人更感兴趣于教育类节目,因为这类节目给他们专业领域内的知识。同时,一些观众喜欢娱乐,而其他观众把电视视为通向外面世界的一扇窗户。为了满足不同观众的趣味,拥有各种不同的频道很重要,比如新闻、音乐、电影、体育、旅游,不一而足。毫无疑问,当越来越多频道出现时,也许存在一些低质量的频道,但当有许多频道竞争观众时,我们有可能享受到更高质量的节目。
更重要的是,更多频道给了观众选择的自由。当拥有各种各样的电视频道,坐在电视机前的观众可能觉得难以选择看什么,然而,这种感觉更像是一种“甜蜜的”痛苦,就像我们走进超市却不知道选择买什么的经历。如果你对这种自由不以为然,那么就试着想象一下,当你只能看一个频道,一个节目(即使是世界上的),你会是什么感觉!
总之,更多频道能给电视观众更多机会和选择的自由,这比其他什么都重要,包括有些电视节目可能质量下降。
