雅思大作文范文：使用机器人做家务或工作好吗

雅思大作文题目：

Today, more and more people use robots to do tasks at home and at work.

Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

【题目解析】：

这个题目是一道常规的“优劣势”题型中的“positive/negative”的题目。题目的大意是：如今，越来越多人使用机器人做家务以及完成工作任务，要求考生回答“此现象是一种积极的发展还是消极的发展”，即，“该现象带来的优缺点”。

这种提问方式的题型有两种个人观点的表达方式：

1）完全积极/消极，或2）部分积极/消极。

【写作思路】：

开头段：改写题目 + 个人观点（认为即使会带来消极影响但更多是积极的）

主体第一段：对个人的好处---营造良好的家庭氛围

主体第二段：对公司/企业的好处---帮助创造更大利润

主体第三段：人们越发懒惰；失业率上升

结尾段：重申个人观点 + 主体段三个段落分论点总结

【参考范文】

These days, it is common that a myriad of chores and work tasks are being performed by advanced robots. Personally, my conviction is that this trend brings more beneficial outcomes than negative ones.

In my opinion, if people are replaced by robots in completing housework, there will be less likelihood that couples argue over the distribution of household duties. Both genders in this contemporary society have heavy workloads, often feeling exhausted when they arrive home. Therefore, males or females want their partner to do housework, but a consensus is difficult to reach, which triggers frequent quarrels. However, the utilisation of robots, such as floor mopping robots makes housework less of a concern, leading to a lovely family atmosphere.

In addition, I also think that employers can improve profitability with robots undertaking work commitments, and this is primarily due to the high efficiency and accuracy of robots. If robots are not used in manufacturing factories, not only do employers need to hire many people to work on the production lines and pay them salaries but also bear the costs of faulty goods. In contrast, robots can be designed to do these tasks, creating more products within a certain amount of time and minimising unnecessary costs due to human errors.

On the other hand, however, it is sometimes also reasonable to me that this trend may bring about drawbacks. In terms of individuals, they will become increasingly lazy when they are accustomed to housework finished by robots. Regarding society, because labour force is of less necessity, more people will be made redundant, which causes a higher unemployment rate and may even result in social instability.

In conclusion, I believe that although people may lack diligence and certain social issues can occur if robots are employed to finish tasks at home and workplace, yet it is easy to see that a harmonious family environment can be maintained as it is of no necessity for couples to decide who should be responsible for the housework and employers can easily achieve a reduction in running costs and a rise in gross margins.
