2021年11月30日雅思A类写作机经

2021年11月30日雅思A类写作机经，由上海的令狐敬老师整理。本次小作文考题为关于人口增长的表格题，大作文为对于*品牌现象的看法。

Task 1 (table)
The table gives the information about different items: population growth, average births per women and life expectancy of the high-incomes, middle-income and low-income countries in 2000 and 2004.

Countries	High Income Countries		Middle Income Countries		Low Income Countries
Year	2000       2004		2000       2004		2000       2004
Population Growth (annual %)	0.8%	0.7%	0.9%	0.9%	2.1%	1.9%
Births Per Woman (Person)	1.7	1.6	2.0	1.9	3.8	3.6
Life Expectancy (Years)	78.1	78.8	69.1	70.0	58.1	58.9

同学们拿到题目，先问自己几个问题，在动笔之前，认真读懂题目，想好写什么内容，列出提纲，可以参考按照以下步骤：
Step 1:  table的main topic 表示什么？（这是为了改写段Introduction做准备）
Step 2: 这个table大概内容是在说什么？就是简单介绍overview 或者summary。（这是为了写二段overview，提醒一下overview的意思是非常概括的描述很明显的一些变化趋势，但是此处不要写具体的数据。）
Step 3:  后选出一些noticeable的数据作为上一段的支持details （可以做一些比较，比如，把两年的变化的具体数据代入描写。）同学们可以把这些数据分两个段写或者一个都可以。

Possible sentences:

Paragraph 1: 从标题看出题目topic是： 2000年和2004年两年，不同收入的，人口的增长百分比，妇女give birth，人们寿命的长度的一个变化情况。
The table compares three important factors related to population among countries within different levels of income in the year of 2000 and 2004.

Paragraph 2:  总的说明一下2000年到2004年的三个的变化趋势，比如，出生率（birth rate）都在下降，但是人民寿命（life expectancies）呈现稳步上升趋势。
Overall, it can be seen that the general birth rates have decreased in all three types of countries, including high-income countries, middle-income countries and low-income countries.
On the whole, in the three different incomenations, the life expectancies at birth have steadily increased during the past few years.

Paragraph 3: (可以把birth rate 和population growth分成一段，活两段来描述)
In terms of life expectancies at birth, people in high-income countries, can live much longer than people in low-income nations, with around 78-year old and 58-year old respectively.
…（paragraph 4）…



Task 2
More and more people want to buy famous brands with clothes, cars and other items.
What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

话题 与我们生活息息相关，越来越多的人喜欢*名牌，名牌的衣服，车子等等， 问题 是这种现象产生的原因是什么？你认为这是好的现象，还是坏现象？

与小作文一样，拿到题目一定先 认真审题 。考中，解题顺序一般可以按照以下步骤：
Step 1: Tackle the topic审题&(list your ideas)
Step 2: Give your position and outline your body parts列提纲
Step 3: Go ahead, just write it写文章

Step1: 每当拿到一个题目时，辨别出是什么类型的大作文，这一次是combined大作文，Report和优缺点的综合考题。解题时，同学们按照问问题的顺序开始解题即可，先想想what reasons？然后列出这种现象的好处，坏处分别是什么？
所以，Step1 完成后，Step2,作文的提纲就列好了. 既然有3个重要部分需要讨论，body parts 写三段比较合适，所以加上开头和结尾，classic五段的写法比较推荐。

Paragraph 1 : Introduction背景介绍，越来越多人*贵的东西，可能有一些原因，另外，好在这一段就给出你自己的观点觉得站在positive面还是negative一面。
Paragraph 2: Discuss 2 or three reasons why people tend to buy expensive brands of items.

1. Makes them feel better. (look *art and become confident )
2.They may be snobs (not to say everyone who buys expensive clothes are snobs. But snobs will buy expensive clothes and then look down on those who don't).
3. They want good quality and many expensive brands are good quality

Paragraph 3: 写一个positive面的观点
Positive views: (for the peopleor society)
Indicate higher current standard of living (for the people)
l   People want to enjoy their life with the high-quality items.
l   With those expensive goods, people become more confident.
l   To live in a better life, (like to buy those good items) people will work harder and improve their relative skills for working.
It is good for the country’s economical development (for the society)

Paragraph 4 : 作为平衡再写一个negative view：
Customers will pay more for less.
l   The prices of popular brands will be inflated simply because they are popular.
l   People may become materialistic when catching up with those expensive goods.
l   Especially, for some children, are likely to start asking their parents to buy expensive items for them, even parents cannot afford them.People can often hardly afford such items and this money could be better spent on other items.

Paragraph 5: Conclusion
have to give their stand-on, positive or negative development 必须再次给出你的立场，觉得是positive or negative.

总的来说这一次的题目难度一般，同学们主要记住解题时认真读懂题，思考好，再开始动笔，一定把thinking和writing的时间分开来，这其实是在帮大节约时间，分配好时间，后再做一下proofreading即可。
