雅思城市话题作文范文 第一篇

拿到雅思口语语言提示卡片后的第一件事不是马上开始讲话，在正式开始讲话之前，考官将给考生一分钟准备时间，并且给考生提供一张白纸和一支铅笔，考生可以边构思边在纸上做一些简单的笔记整理思路。待一分钟过后，无论考生是否准备好，考官都会要求他/她马上开始就雅思口语语言提示卡片上的话题讲1-2分钟。而这时很多考生还没有准备好，以至于讲得杂乱无章结结巴巴甚至大脑里只有只言片语或一片空白，讲不到一分钟就无话可说。所以第二阶段的要害不是讲话的过程本身而是在开始讲话之前的一分钟准备是否充分到位思路清晰，有章可循。建议考生按以下三个步骤进行准备：

雅思口语提示卡第一步.拿到卡片后，首先仔细审题，快速浏览卡片上的内容并迅速准确地判断话题内容。

注意：游览卡片内容要既准确又迅速，一定不要误解标题和小标题上的任何内容，否则会造成谈话跑题而丢分。比如卡片上要求考生“talk about a Chinese traditional festival”，如果考生讲的是“National Day”就不会得到任何分数，因为“National Day”是个现代节日，而不是“traditional festival”这就象写作考试中作文写跑题一样。

雅思口语提示卡第二步应该是根据对卡片内容的理解迅速决定要讲的内容

这个过程一般不应超过15秒钟很多考生因为这一环节耗费了太多时间而陷入困境，比如考生得到的卡片上要求考生讲一部自己最喜欢的电影，如果该考生花了30秒甚至更长的时间才最终想好要讲哪一部电影，接下来组织思路和记笔记的时间就会相当紧张，在余下的20-30秒中，考生很难有充足的时间从容地整理思路，当考官打断你的思考要求你开始讲话时，结果可想而知!

雅思口语提示卡第三步理所当然应该是记笔记了。

不言而喻，这个过程依然要求速度一分钟时间稍纵即逝。记笔记时应注意以下几点：

①不要试图写完整的句子甚至短语，一般来说一分钟之内我们无法写出三个以上的完整英文句子，这是一种浪费时间。考生需要做的只是迅速记录下自己大脑中闪现的ideas，记录的方式可以多种多样，考生可以写英文缩写，如用Am代替America(n)也可以自己设计一套只有自己能读懂的缩写代码，如用b+f代替beautiful，还可以用自己最熟悉的汉字，如“丽”代表beautiful，甚至可以简单地用草图来表示等等。总之，记笔记的方式多种多样，总的原则就是怎么快怎么来，怎么方便怎么来。

②没有必要抛开原卡片上的提纲而另起炉灶，在白纸上重新起草一个新的提纲，这也是一种得不偿失的做法。因为考生只有一分钟的时间整理思路，这和写作文完全不同。最有效的手段应该是把笔记完全建立在卡片提纲的基础上，在一分钟之内尽量把卡片上的4点提纲扩充在白纸上。实践证明，这种方法是行之有效的也是一分钟之内完全可以做到的。试想，如果你只有4点提纲那么每一点要讲到15秒以上才能讲到一分钟，但如果你有多达8点甚至更多的提纲，每一点只须讲到8秒钟就可以达到目的，而且你的讲话会显得很有逻辑。

雅思口语难点实例讲解。学生们反映的雅思口语比较难的题目有law、interesting news、book 等。我们一一分析如下：

第一、 关于law

大家首先要明白一点，雅思口语考试的目的是什么? 就是检验一下我们的最基本的英语说话的能力，换句话讲，就是能不能在国外用英语讲话让别人明白你的意思。所以，思路的选择尤为重要。正是“思路决定出路”。

说到法律，我们(学生、上班族)最关心的是什么方面的事情呢? 很可能是我们上学、上班、生活、娱乐和我们生活息息相关的方面。所以，要从我们本身出发。

雅思城市话题作文范文 第二篇

Major metropolises around the world are experiencing exponential growth. This essay outlines some of the major issues this causes for younger members of society and some ways to address them.

世界上的大城市都在经历快速的增长。这篇文章将会列出一些这一现象给年轻社会成员所带来的问题，一节一些解决它们的方法。

Rapidly growing cities cause two major issues for young people. The most serious is the difficulty youths face to get employed in the competitive job market of a growing city. This is because of age discrimination in the labour market based on the perception that young people are less competent workers. The second problem is the feeling of alienation. As the population increases, people tend to be less familiar with people in their community, and young people in particular often lack an established social network and start to feel isolated from society.

However, there are some ways to alleviate these problems. Firstly, the government can provide subsidies to companies that are willing to hire young people. These subsidies will make it more attractive for companies to hire young people and this will allow them to get experience so that they will be more employable in the future. This is translated by Laokaoya website. With regard to alienation, the best way to deal with this is to have grassroots community organisations that reach out and help young people. An effective way to do this is to have public service advertising for these types of organisations on social media platforms that young people often engage in.

然而，有一些方式可以缓和上述问题。首先，政府能够为愿意雇佣年轻人的公司提供补贴。这些补贴使得雇佣年轻人对于公司来说更有吸引力，并让他们能够积累经验，以便未来更好找工作。至于疏离感方面，解决这一问题的最好方式是建立基层社区组织接触并帮助年轻人。比较有效的方式是利用公共服务为这些组织在社交平台做宣传，以便年轻人可以经常参与。

In conclusion, megalopolises are negatively impacting the youths in many countries around the world by making it extremely difficult for them to get jobs and by often causing feelings of social isolation. The best ways to tackle these problems are for the government to provide policies aimed at assisting youths to gain employment and for community organisations to help provide a support network for at-risk individuals.

总得来说，世界上许多国家的大城市都对年轻人有消极的影响，让他们很难找到工作，或引发社会孤立的情绪。解决这一问题的最好方式是由政府提供政策帮助年轻人求职，并有社区组织为那些存在风险的个体提供支持。

雅思城市话题作文范文 第三篇

Many cities today are expanding upwards to accommodate surging urban populations. In my opinion, this can help preserve nearby land for other uses and is a better solution than encouraging urban sprawl.

如今许多城市都在向上扩张以容纳快速增长的城镇人口。在我看来，这可以帮助保留附近的土地以作他用，并且相比于城市横向扩张而言是更好的解决方案。

Some would argue that tall cities present challenges for inhabitants and a spread-out city offers a better quality of life. Condensed urban areas with lots of tall apartment blocks, like in New York City or Shanghai, are famously difficult to live in due to the effects of overcrowding on sanitation, safety, and traffic conditions. In contrast, decentralised cities like Los Angeles and Nashville allow for the development of unique individual neighbourhoods, more space for residential construction and a reduction of the urban issues listed above. Individuals living in these cities often report greater feelings of satisfaction and many ‘transplants’ move to such cities because of the better living standards.

一些人认为垂直城市会给居民造成困难，而水平城市则提供更好的生活质量。诸如纽约或者上海这样，拥有许多高耸公寓的密集城市，因过于拥挤对卫生、安全和老烤鸭雅思交通状况的影响，居住起来十分困难。相比之下，去中心化的城市，比如洛杉矶和纳什维尔，发展出独特的社区，更大空间的居民区，并减少了上面提的城市问题。居住在这些城市的人通常更加满意，许多人因为更好的生活质量而移居到这些城市。

However, those in favour of taller buildings can logically point out the resultant benefits for the area around a city. It is often hard to check the growth of economically important cities and that can lead to massive urban sprawl, as is in the case around Mexico City and Tokyo. By building more skyscrapers, the surrounding area can be preserved or used in another way. Pristine natural lands can be designated as national parks. This is translated by Laokaoya webiste. If the city requires more food to feed its population, there could be proximately located farms with fast delivery times. This surplus land could also be turned into quiet suburban towns to give residents the choice of raising a family outside the city and still earning a good wage and having easy access to the cultural benefits of large metropolises.

然而，那些喜欢高楼的人能够合乎逻辑的指出这样子对于城市周边地区的好处。通常来说，很难抑制经济中心城市的增长，而这则会导致城市的大幅扩张，就像墨西哥和东京一样。通过建造更多的高楼，周边地区能够得以保留或者用于其他目的。原始的自然领地可以作为国家公园。如果城市需要更多食物养育其居民，可以就近设置农场，便于快速送达。这一多余的土地能够被改建为安静的村镇，让居民可以选择在城市外养活家人，并且仍然赚取不错的薪酬，享受到大都市的文化。

In conclusion, horizontal cities facilitate some positive living conditions but taller cities make more sense in the modern world. It is, nonetheless, important to strike a balance and mitigate the issues caused by growing urban populations with quality infrastructure.

总的来说，水平城市居住条件更好，但垂直城市在现代社会更有意义。然而，重要的是在两者之间寻找平衡，从而以高质量的基础设施，减轻由快速增长的城市人口所造成的问题。

雅思城市话题作文范文 第六篇

1. At what age are people considered to be “old” in China?

每个人的想法不同，我的是…

That is really a big question. People’s views much be divided on this. From my perspective, …

按时间区分：以前觉得70+算老人，现在这个定义慢慢延后，因为人们寿命更长，更多的老年人仍旧发挥余热，为社会做出了很多的贡献

The easiest way to divide the old from all is to judge according to the chronological age. In the past, people over 70s are considered to be old, but this line has been shifted gradually with the time goes by, because people nowadays live much longer than before. Many older people can still make great contribution to the society, so broadly speaking, I think, those over 80s, or those who are no longer physically capable can be regarded as just entering the twilight life.

生理年龄不再是唯一的衡量标准，一个人的心理年龄和本身的身体素质更加重要

The biological age has no longer been the only judgment, because the real psychological age and the physical fitness differ from person to person, and they seem to be more important for others to decide whether the person is qualified as “old” or not.

大体而言，50岁以上就感觉在慢慢变老，的却，那个时候的身体和心理逐渐在走下坡路

Broadly speaking, when people are over their 50s, they will gradually feel that they are getting older. Indeed, the physical and mental condition do decrease year by year, with a higher possibility of suffering from diseases and less tolerant and acceptable to different opinions and new ideas.

一个人失去了对人生的热情，其实就已经老了。所有常常会用老来形容一个没有激情的人，而不是形容一个人的年龄

I firmly believe that being “old” is simply connected with the state of mind. If one loses passion for life, they are indeed becoming old. This is why, in China, we tend to describe someone who show very little enthusiasm to life as an old bookish man.

2. Why do old people today live longer than in the past?

医疗水平变高

The advance in medical service means that more diseases become curable and can be easily diagnosed at an early age. Senile diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are less common among the older pensioner and most of them can even live very long with the illness being uncured permanently.

营养更丰富

Food nutrition has also been largely improved, not only because of the development in farming skills but also because of the fertilizers that are used to ensure a higher proportion of diverse types of vitamins being reserved during the planting process within a less time period.

人们更重视运动

Another important factor is the widespread scientific reports that emphasize the positive effects of regular exercise on people’s physical fitness, so most of the modern people become more aware of the importance of doing sports and many older people, with more time available after retirement, participate actively in various sorts of sports.

定期的健康检查，很多问题可以及早被发现

Besides, regular health check has been required by most companies nowadays in China and younger people also arrange this activity for their aging parents. It is now fair to say that many potential health hazards can be easily found in advance and therefore be avoided eventually.

更多对于老龄化问题的关注，使得很多福利机构和实施被建造

More attention has been paid for the aging society, so government and private charity groups have set up many nursing house and other accessible facilities for the senior citizens, which means generally, a higher living standard can be expected and people then live much longer under a better welfare system.

3. What are some things a person can do to help them live longer?

多运动

An obvious answer is to take part in more outdoor activities because it can enhance the immune system and further build up the physical fitness. Especially in an outdoor atmosphere, we can breathe more fresh air and speed up the process of metabolism.

定期的健康检查

Regular health check should be taken on a, at least, yearly basis. So that diseases can be found well before it poses any threat to our body and our mind.

多和家人朋友沟通，减轻压力

Also, I would suggest people to frequently talk to their friends and family members, particularly on the occasion of feeling stressful or facing difficulties. By expressing one’s emotion feely, one can actually easily release the negative emotion and find hope in life, which seems to be more important than just being healthy physically.

适当调整目标，不要太逼自己

Even though the modern life has set higher demand for most people, in order to live longer, people should constantly adjust their goals to keep pace with their ability at the time. Pushing oneself too much is definitely detrimental to the expansion of longevity.

选择自己喜欢的事情，而不是做一些让自己痛苦的事情

In any stage of one’s life, people should choose to participate in the things that interest them most instead of those impose heavy mental pressure and make them hopeless all the time.

少看电视，多读书

A simple solution could be the reduction of TV time and Internet addiction and to spend more time on reading books or other mentally healthy activities, such as playing chess or listening to the music.

4. Are the attitudes of young people today towards old people the same as they used to be, years ago?

没变：

非常尊重年长者，愿意和他们交流

I personally didn't see any change in recent decade. Younger people are still very respectful and willing to talk and receive suggestions from the older ones.

觉得老年人是需要关怀的群里，愿意去支持帮助他们

As for me, I usually believe that the elderly are more vulnerable than the younger people, so I’m always willing to help them and I think this attitude is shared by most youngsters.

有变化：

以前更加尊重，现在变得比较冷漠，比如老人摔跤了

Unfortunately, we become less respectful of the older people, and almost indifferent to their request. For example, when an older person fall down on the street, very few people, especially the youth, will step up and give a hand immediately, because we worry about being defrauded of money by them, since similar occasions did happen in the past when some unlawful old people commit crime like this.

以前觉得老人都是经验丰富的，现在可能觉得他们只不过在倚老卖老

In previous time, we believe that older people have very rich experience, but the world is changing too fast. The wisdom they have become less practical in the modern-day society. So we are less likely to rely on them.

有些老年人确实比较保守纠结，年轻人可能会比较不喜欢和年长者相处

Some of the older generation are indeed more conservative, so younger people, who are interested in making changes and trying new things, are not very much willing to spend time with the aged.

看每个人的性格：

有些比较排斥长着，有些则更看重内涵，而不是一个人的年龄

Generally, it depends on the personality of each individual. Some may only want to communicate with people in similar age, others value the intrinsic character more, rather than the age.
