7月19日雅思大作文真題：城市人互不往來的原因及解決辦法

2018年7月19日雅思大作文題目：

“These days an increasing number of people in many cities know little about their neighbors and do not have a sense of community. What do you think are the causes and what solution can you suggest?.”

解析&審題

本周考題是一個(gè)舊題，是2012年6月16日和2016年9月24日的真題再現(xiàn)。

在城市里，鄰居之間互不交往，鄰居發(fā)生了什么事情漠不關(guān)心，大家完全沒有社區(qū)意識，這已經(jīng)是一個(gè)十分普遍的社會現(xiàn)象。那么原因到底是什么呢？我們可以從哪幾個(gè)方面來分析呢？

原因當(dāng)然是多方面多層次的，在短短的250字內(nèi)不可能談完談深。

也許是受到了媒體的影響，認(rèn)為鄰居可能不是好人，可能會搶我，甚至害我（物質(zhì)層面）；

也許是家里的網(wǎng)絡(luò)給了我太多歸屬感，讓我沉醉在虛擬世界里（心理層面）；

也許是現(xiàn)在科技發(fā)達(dá)，很多事情我們都可以自己獨(dú)立完成，不再需要鄰居幫忙（社會層面）。

那么怎么辦呢？無非是遠(yuǎn)離手機(jī)、電腦，去與鄰居交流，去加入社區(qū)活動；新聞媒體應(yīng)該多報(bào)道社會的積極面，而不是那些聳人聽聞的陰暗面，等等。

老師筆記

01

Now we have numerous newspaper reports about a child being robbed without anybody offering to help him or a ninety-year-old poor woman dead at home for days without anybody knowing it. All these reports point to one key problem city dwellers face nowadays, especially in big cities: they seldom interact with their neighbors, much less to say they care about their neighbors, and they feel lonely because they do not feel they belong to any community.

現(xiàn)在有無數(shù)的報(bào)紙報(bào)道，一個(gè)孩子被搶劫卻無人主動幫助，或者一個(gè)可憐的90歲老太太在家里死去數(shù)日，卻無人知曉。所有這些報(bào)道都指向城市（尤其是大城市）居民面臨的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵問題：他們很少也鄰居互動，更不要說關(guān)心鄰居，他們感覺孤獨(dú)，因?yàn)樗麄儧]有團(tuán)體歸屬感。

解析

(1) 本段提出現(xiàn)象：城市居民互不來往，互不關(guān)心，時(shí)時(shí)感到孤獨(dú)。

(2) 經(jīng)常閱讀本專欄的烤鴨可能已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，唐老師在這里采取了一種新穎的作文開頭模式：用舉例方式來引出話題。

這種方式其實(shí)是英語作文很常見的一種方式，但由于它難以融入國內(nèi)雅思寫作培訓(xùn)的所謂模板，因此很多培訓(xùn)老雅都故意避而不講。希望閱讀本專欄的烤鴨認(rèn)真閱讀，用心模仿。唐老師的范文力求規(guī)避模板，教會大家正確的英語寫作方式，避免走入歧途。各位烤鴨閱讀模仿唐老師的范文，一旦學(xué)會了正確的思維和寫作方式，不僅會提高雅思考試成績，更能提高英語寫作水平，對將來適應(yīng)國外學(xué)習(xí)大有補(bǔ)益。這是其他所謂模板套句寫作范文所無法比擬的。（有心的烤鴨可以把唐老師的范文與其它渠道的范文比較一下，歡迎交流！）

(3) numerous 許多（可用來替換many, a lot of）

(4) point to 指向；指明

(5) much less to say 更不必說

02

When asked why they do not socialize with their neighbors, many people would respond by saying “Why should I? This is a dangerous city!” Indeed, modern media such as TV, newspaper and Internet have had way too much coverage about the city’s crimes like theft, robbery and murder. People constantly exposed to such reports of the dark side of the city life may harbor the idea that nobody is trustworthy, including their neighbors.

當(dāng)問及為什么不和鄰居交往時(shí)，許多人的反應(yīng)就是“為什么要交往？這個(gè)城市很危險(xiǎn)！”的確，現(xiàn)代諸多媒體，比如電視，報(bào)紙和因特網(wǎng)報(bào)道了太多城市里的犯罪，比如偷盜、搶劫、殺人等。長期浸潤在這種城市生活負(fù)面報(bào)道中的人，也許會產(chǎn)生這種想法，即沒有人是可信的，包括鄰居。

解析

(1) 本段寫第1個(gè)理由，即媒體的影響。開頭句也一反模板，相當(dāng)新穎。如果按照模板寫：Firstly, many people do not socialize with their neighbors because they think the city is a dangerous place. 這也完全可以，但就不是高分的節(jié)奏了！

(2) respond by saying 的簡單說法就是answer。

(3) way too much （表示否定）太多，過多，比如：She has spent way too much money on her dresses.

(4) people constantly exposed to such reports...may... 長期閱讀這類報(bào)道的人們會......。簡單的表達(dá)就是：If people often read such reports, they may... 不過，這個(gè)改動就把得分降至6分了。

(5) ...harbor the idea that... 有......的想法。harbor的簡單用詞是have。

03

On the other hand, people now do not feel any more thenecessity to communicate with their neighbors or become part of a community. Anyway, they do not need their neighbors like they did before. They work, earn enough money and go back home to relax themselves. When they want to talk, they can just pick up their cellphone and talk to anybody in the world; when they have some brilliant ideas they want to share, they can get online with a few simple clicks and then post their ideas there.

另一方面，人們不再感到必要與鄰居交流或者成為團(tuán)體的一部分了。的確，他們不像以前那樣需要鄰居了。他們工作，掙足夠的錢，然后回家休息。當(dāng)他們想交談時(shí)，只需拿起手機(jī)就可以同世界上任何人通話；當(dāng)他們有了好觀點(diǎn)想交流，只需敲幾下鍵盤，就可以上網(wǎng)發(fā)布自己的觀點(diǎn)了。

解析

(1) 本段寫第2個(gè)理由，即現(xiàn)代人沒有實(shí)際需要與鄰居交往。主要論述方式是舉例：想與人交談的時(shí)候......；想與人交流思想的時(shí)候......

(2) necessity 必要性

(3) click 敲鍵盤就是click the keyboard

But we all know that confinement to oneself is no good, no matter how many friends or fans you may have online. As part of the solution to the problem, I would suggest everybody have an “Internet-free moment”. Simply put, we can set aside an hour every day, in which we try to reach out for our neighbors without a cellphone or laptop with us. Once we begin to care about real people around us, we will suddenly find ourselves living in a community that also cares about us. This experience is much morerewarding than having thousands of virtual friends who do not really know us. At the same time, all media should be fully aware of their share of responsibility in this problem, and try to bring more positive stories about the city life.

但是我們都知道封閉自我不好，無論你在網(wǎng)上有多少朋友或者粉絲。為了解決這個(gè)問題，我提出一個(gè)方案，建議每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)“無網(wǎng)絡(luò)時(shí)刻”。簡單地說，我們可以每天都拿出一個(gè)小時(shí)，在這一小時(shí)里，我們走出去與鄰居交往，沒有電話，沒有筆記本電腦。一旦我們開始關(guān)心周圍的真正的人，我們會突然發(fā)現(xiàn)我們居住其中的團(tuán)體也關(guān)心我們。這種經(jīng)歷遠(yuǎn)比在網(wǎng)上擁有成千上萬但并不真正關(guān)心我們的網(wǎng)友更有價(jià)值。同時(shí)，所有新聞媒體也應(yīng)該充分認(rèn)識到自己在這個(gè)問題中的責(zé)任，努力多報(bào)道城市生活的積極面。

解析

(1) 本段寫解決辦法。主要寫如何擺脫網(wǎng)絡(luò)影響，也提及媒體報(bào)道。

(2) confinement to oneself 封閉自我

(3) simply put 簡言之

(4) set aside 抽出；留出

(5) rewarding 有回報(bào)的

(6) virtual 虛擬的

2. People constantly exposed to such reports of the dark side of the city life may harbor the idea that nobody is trustworthy, including their neighbors.

長期浸潤在這種城市生活負(fù)面報(bào)道中的人，也許會產(chǎn)生這種想法，即沒有人是可信的，包括鄰居。

當(dāng)他們有了好觀點(diǎn)想交流，只需敲幾下鍵盤，就可以上網(wǎng)發(fā)布自己的觀點(diǎn)了。

4. Once we begin to care about real people around us, we will suddenly find ourselves living in a community that also cares about us.

一旦我們開始關(guān)心周圍的真正的人，我們會突然發(fā)現(xiàn)我們居住其中的團(tuán)體也關(guān)心我們。
