妇女节快乐:揭秘雅思写作女性主题
今天是所有女性都值得庆祝的节日——国际妇女节,祝所有女性节日快乐!
女性话题在雅思写作考试中算是非常小众的一类题目了。出题率非常低,和教育,科技,环境这些常见话题的出题频率完全不可同日而语。 从最近5年的情况看,可谓一年一度。 这些话题涉及“女性产假”“晚婚晚育”“性别差异”等等。
对于一些未成年的考生来说,这些社会生活常识确实超越了知识范围了。如果平时没有复习,万一考试考到,也会引发了一些小小恐慌。所以大家除了关注最高频的教育、政府和科技类话题外,也可以适当关注一下这一类话题应该如何展开。下面就一一列举这些题目,来讨论一下具体可以写哪些内容:
下面先给大家看看,在雅思真实考试中,都出现过哪些关于女性的话题。
/ 历年真题 /
2017/12/14
In some countries,more and more fathers are staying at home to look after children,while mothers work full time.What are the reasons and is it a positive or negative development?
题目大意:在某些国家,越来越多父亲在家照顾孩子,而母亲在外全职工作。发生这种情况的原因有哪些?你认为这是一种积极的还是消极的发展?
2018/10/13
In many countries,women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first month after the birth of their baby.Do advantages outweigh disadvantages?题目大意:许多国家的工作女性都允许在生完孩子后的一个月休产假。你认为这种情况优点大于缺点吗?
2018/9/15
Men and women employed in full-time jobs should share equally the responsibilities of household chores.Do you agree or disagree?
题目大意:全职夫妻在家里应该平等分担家务。你是否同意这个观点?
接下来先给大家介绍一下,碰到这些话题,应该如何迅速形成自己的写作思路,以及如何积累素材。
/如何拓展话题/
在考场上时间非常紧急,没有过多时间让你慢慢思考应该寻找哪些观点来支持,也没有很多时间让你理清逻辑框架。
所以在平时训练时,大家就可以在认真读题并划出关键词后,按以下思路组织自己的逻辑框架,并列出提纲:
解题思路
你的主要论点是什么?
你准备提供几个例证?
你准备陈述几个观点?
你是否同意题干中的主要观点?为什么?
针对两种观点,你将给出哪些论据?
列提纲时无需写出完整句子,只需列出要点、关键词或思维导图记下你的想法即可。在正式考试时可以直接在脑海里过一遍以上这些问题,并形成框架。
图片在这里还要提醒大家一点,雅思写作是一门英语水平测试,并不是观点对错测试。所以大家选择观点时不要选择自己认为对的观点,而要选择有更多论点支持的观点。
然后正式写作时,一般可以分为3大部分、4个段落,这种结构比较常见也比较稳固。以2018年9月15日考到的女性话题为例,大家就可以列出以下这样的框架。
引言——题目改写+表明自己观点
I totally agree that household tasks should be divided equally between husbands and wives.
主体段1——表明论点1:家务劳动的平等分配有利于促进夫妻之间的相互关爱和和谐家庭生活。+论据支持
Equal distribution of housework is conducive to promoting the mutual affection between couples and harmonizing the family life.
主体段2——表明论点2:平分家务有助于缓解教育、促进工作场所等其他领域的不平等。+论据支持
Moreover,this change helps alleviate inequality in other areas including education,promotion of workplace.
结论——总结并重申自己观点
一般来说,整个文章就只需要2-3个论点,每个论点后面只要跟1-2个论据就好了,太多的话还要费脑筋想,也会使整个文章主体部分看起来太笨重。
/ 如何积累素材 /
学会快速列框架后,下一步就是填充具体论据。这就要求大家在平时要多积累相关话题素材。
建议大家平时多读学术期刊杂志,多看新闻(比如BBC这种官方网站),特别是与雅思写作话题相关的。在吸取各方观点之后,自己也会对各种事件有更加深刻的理解,久而久之,在审题时产出观点就不会那么难。
另外还需要对考官范文进行深度挖掘。大家可以对考官范文中的观点通过“话题+观点”的格式进行整理总结,积少成多,这样也能帮你训练快速形成框架逻辑的能力。
关于上述的女性类话题,酷热给大家提供一些大家可以积累的论点表达,各位可以先收藏起来,记在自己的小本本上哦~
关于产假
Newly mothers are more likely to recover physically after production.
Newly mothers can take good care of the baby over the first month after the delivery.
In China,husbands can also have 15 days leave after their babies are born.
关于平分家务
Employed mothers adjust their jobs and personal lives to accommodate family commitments more than employed fathers do.
Mothers are less likely to work overtime and are more likely to take time off work to attend to children’s needs.
When women’s conventional jobs in the house are shared by the husband,the wife could gain extra time for work,contributing to career development.
Some household chores are physically demanding,such as yard work,maintenance,and repairs.
Greater equality in the performance of family work is associated with lower levels of family stress and higher self-esteem,better health,and higher marital satisfaction for mothers.
There is also higher marital satisfaction for fathers,especially when they take more responsibility for the needs of their children–fathers are happier when they are more involved.
The parental role is central to the stress-related anxiety reported by employed mothers,and a major contributor to such stress is their taking a greater role in child care.
我们来看2022年的真题写作案例:
/真题写作/
真题1:男女适合不同的工作
2022年11月5号:Some people think that men and women have different qualities.Therefore,some certain jobs are suitable for men,and some jobs are suitable for women.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
如果写同意,男性和女性因为有不同的特质所以应该从事不同的职业。可以先写让步,女性确实可以从事传统意义上的男性工作,反之男性也一样。比如:
1、主体段一
Until a few decades ago many people used to believe that women are not suitable for a career in science or finance.Such wrong notions no longer exist because many women have proved that they make equally brilliant engineers and number crunchers.Still,certain sectors prefer men over women.There are also some sectors where women outperform men.
直到几十年前,许多人还认为女性不适合从事科学或金融领域的工作。这种错误的观念已经不复存在,因为许多女性已经证明,她们可以成为同样出色的工程师和数字专家。不过,某些行业更喜欢男性而不是女性。在某些行业,女性的表现也优于男性。
2、主体段二
Thanks to their stronger physique,men are more suitable for physically demanding jobs than women.For example,jobs in mining and mechanicsare laborious and involve handling heavy machinery.A few women have proved that they are capable of handling such jobs,but the majority of workers employed in these sectors are men.The armed forcesalso recruit more men than women.
由于体格强壮,男性比女性更适合体力要求高的工作。例如,采矿和机械方面的工作很辛苦,需要操作重型机械。一些妇女已经证明她们有能力处理这些工作,但这些部门的大多数工人都是男性。军队招募的男性也多于女性。
3、主体段三
Though women lack physical prowess,they score better than men in some other areas.For example,women are more caring and patient.These qualities make them excellent teachers and nurses.Women also possess better people skills and are considered more suitable for careers in hospitality and public relations.
尽管女性缺乏强壮的体魄,但她们在其他一些领域的得分高于男性。例如,女性更有爱心和耐心。这些品质使他们成为优秀的教师和护士。女性还拥有更好的人际交往能力,被认为更适合酒店和公关行业。
