雅思作文教育（3）

教育应该包括哪些内容

母题：It is generally believed that education is of vital importance to the development of individuals and the well-being of What should education consist of to fulfil both these functions?

提示：本题围绕教育的两大功能来展开(个人与社会)，准备好这篇文章，即可应付教育类话题中的最大分支—教育的功能，做到以不变应万变。对于社会角度，可以从促进经济发展、增加社会流动性(social mobility)、维护社会稳定这几个方面来展开，对于个人，可以写改变思维模式、有利于就业和便利生活来写。

子题：大学应当教授理论知识还是实践技能?大学的是应当把学生培养成合格的公民还是让他们自己得益?准备未来职业最好的方法是上大学还是尽快离校积累工作经验?大学要不要扩招?中学阶段应当提供通才教育还是专才教育?要不要延长义务教育年限?要不要让农村地区的学生更容易上学?老师要教学生如何判断是非吗?

学校的科目谁来选择

母题：Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they Discuss the two views and give your

提示：这类题目采取的策略就是“双批判”，因为题目中提供的两种选择往往都是错误的。

子题1：政府选课or 老师选课?学生选择所有的科目or根据兴趣自行选择?

子题2：只有学术科目重要，体育和音乐这样的课不重要，你同意吗?要不要学国际新闻?要不要学历史?要不要中学阶段就学习外语?要不要学数学哲学这类的科目?

提示：子题2与母题联系不大，需要准备这些科目各自的优点。

什么样的教学方式最好

母题：Many people use distance-learning programmes (study material post, TV, Internet, ) to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the benefit as much as attending college or To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

提示：远程教育最大的好处，就在于三个any：anybody, anywhere, any 缺点是缺乏师生之间以及学生之间的interaction, 缺乏教师的moral guidance, 因为没有体育课且久坐电脑前，会引发健康问题。

子题：私立学校好不好?留学好不好?要不要分快慢班?小组学习还是单独学习好?

谁来为学费买单

母题：Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a To what extent do you agree or disagree?

提示：这些话题都有一个共同的特征：高等教育只对学生自己有好处，因此学生应当自行为高等教育买单。这类题目的写法非常有规律，先驳斥这种理由，再交代学生自己支付学费的后果就可以了。

子题：政府要为学生买单吗?(缺点是给政府带来经济负担，这类话题写法和其它政府类话题一样)

家庭教育

母题：Some people say that children should obey the rules of their parents and teachers, while other people think children will not be well-prepared for their adult life if they are given too much Discuss in both sides and give your

提示：写一下各自的好处就可以了，最后的结论是早年的时候要教授他们明辨是非，对于做错的事情要惩罚，但是也要适可而止让其兴趣爱好得到自由发展。

子题：穷人家的孩子是否早当家?家长是否应该为五岁小孩的犯罪负责?要不要把小孩趁早送到学校去?老师对儿童的智力和社会发展所起的作用大于家长吗?同龄人压力(peer pressure)的利弊?

雅思作文教育（4）

题目：Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every what extent do you agree or disagree?

范文：

Although the idea of gender equality in society, is a laudable concept, I believe a more modest adjustment of severely gender-imbalanced courses would be more practical than a draconian imposition of a 50/50 balance in all university

Some people feel that females are underrepresented and do not have equal opportunities in certain professions such as upper management and engineering while others believe society would be better served if more males worked in some professions such as nursing, translating and primary school Both groups feel that not only competition for university places but also social stereotyping plays a role here; that is, if a more gender-balanced workforce were visible, then more young people would feel that it would be socially acceptable for them to follow suit and enter professions that are traditionally associated with the opposite

I agree with these arguments but the correction of gender inequality and imbalance in the workplace cannot take place in the universities only — changes should also be made in society as a whole, including education at the pre-university Furthermore, the sudden imposition of a rigid 50/50 gender balance in university classes, where there is usually, say, an 80/20 male/female ratio, would probably result in many highly qualified and highly motivated males losing out to some females who were not very academically qualified for those courses and possibly not very interested in pursuing those

On the other hand, if the last % of class allotments in heavily imbalanced classes were reserved for the 'minority’ sex, and if academic standards were not drastically compromised in the process, then I believe society would
