作为一名雅思写作老师,我过去曾为学生们整理过高频话题的万金油观点和常考题目的相关素材。然而,在实际授课过程中,我发现大多数同学虽然掌握了一些常见观点,但仍然难以充分拓展。即便背诵了大量话题素材(极少数学生做到~), 也很难将这些素材应用到其他相似的题目中,导致素材使用受限。

因此,经过一段时间的题目整理和素材编撰, "如何背最少的素材,准备最多的题目"系列应运而生~这一系列将总结目前每个话题的出题趋势,并提供由高频话题词汇串联而成的素材语料。通过掌握话题词汇和思路, 大家够应对大部分题目。

政府话题出题趋势

政府类话题出现的频率越来越高,主要围绕两方面出题:投资&政策,比如政府要不要支持艺术家,要不要保护古建筑,是否应该共享科研成果等。如果对政府话题还不熟悉的同学可以参考:政府职能揭秘|| 雅思写作政府话题破题 

在这篇文章中,有提炼出政府类话题常用的观点

那接下来的内容,我们就来看看如何针对这些观点进行拓展吧~

拓展素材的使用

以这道是否投资艺术的题目为例?

Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and this money could be better spent elsewhere.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

很多同学看到有关艺术的话题,都会感觉心里凉凉,觉得自己对艺术并不了解,无话可说。但雅思写作并不是以考察学科知识为主,我们在思考观点的时候可以结合生活实际体验进行分析,艺术包含门类繁多,比如绘画、音乐、小说、电影等,都属于艺术的范畴,如果把这道题换成政府投资音乐或者投资电影是否是浪费钱的行为,相信大家会觉得这道题的难度瞬间降低了几个level,比如我们可以从减压、获得知识的角度切入,也可以从文化艺术促进经济发展的角度展开,都是难度较低的逻辑链。

下面让我们来看看如何根据素材完成上述观点的拓展吧!

素材内容:

Certain art forms, such as dance, drumming, or acting, involve physical movement and expression. These activities can serve as outlets for releasing pent-up physical and emotional energy.

艺术可以释放压抑的情绪和能量 The act of moving the body, expressing emotions through movement or sound, can help individuals release muscle tension, regulate emotions, and experience a sense of catharsis, leading to a reduction in stress and anxiety levels. 通过一些艺术形式,缓解紧张的肌肉,调节情绪,减少压力和焦虑

?篇幅有限,根据素材写一个简易版文章:

【表明立场】While some argue that government funding for the arts is a wasteful expenditure that could be better allocated elsewhere, this viewpoint fails to recognize the invaluable benefits that arts programs provide for individual and community well-being.

【观点:释放压力】Certain art forms, such as dance, drumming, or acting, involve physical movement and expression that can serve as powerful outlets for releasing pent-up physical and emotional energy

【利用素材拓展观点】The act of moving the body and expressing emotions through movement or sound allows individuals to release muscle tension, regulate emotions, and experience a sense of catharsis, leading to a reduction in stress and anxiety levels. 

【这部分根据题目做出的具体改动, 体现出投资艺术并不是浪费钱的行为,进一步扣题】By providing accessible platforms for creative expression and emotional release, arts programs can play a crucial role in promoting mental health and overall well-being within a society.

Rather than dismissing arts funding as a waste, governments should recognize the therapeutic and stress-relieving qualities of artistic pursuits and allocate resources accordingly to support the holistic health of their citizens.

再来看另一个素材:

Investment in the arts can stimulate local economies. 艺术促进经济发展 When governments fund arts programs, they help create jobs and support industries ranging from tourism to hospitality. 创造就业岗位,促进产业发展 For example, cultural festivals and museum exhibitions can attract visitors from around the world, who then spend money on hotels, restaurants, and other services.

A vibrant arts scene can also attract businesses and skilled professionals seeking a dynamic community, leading to broader economic development. 比如一些艺术节或者展览会可以吸引游客和相关行业入驻

?来看看根据素材完成的文章内容

【表明立场:不能忽视艺术带来的经济价值】While some may argue that government funding for the arts is a waste of money that could be better allocated elsewhere, this viewpoint fails to recognize the substantial economic benefits that investing in the arts can provide. 

【利用素材拓展观点,观点1主要为旅游业】As highlighted, robust arts programs and a vibrant cultural scene can stimulate local economies in multiple ways. Cultural festivals, museum exhibitions, and other arts events have the power to attract tourists from around the globe, who then pump money into the local hospitality and tourism industries through spending on hotels, restaurants, and services. 

【观点2为艺术提升社区活力,从而吸引更多商家和人才】Moreover, a dynamic arts community enhances a region's vibrancy and appeal, which can further attract businesses and top professional talent seeking to locate in culturally rich areas. This injection of businesses and skilled labor ultimately drives broader economic development. 

【总结,再次强调投资艺术并不是浪费钱的行为】While arts funding may seem like an extraneous expenditure, it is an investment that pays dividends by catalyzing tourism revenue, luring businesses and talent, and spurring comprehensive economic growth. Rather than deeming arts funding as wasteful, it should be viewed as a crucial strategy for economic vitality.
