4月8日雅思大作文示范寫作 | 舉辦國際體育賽事的利弊

2023年4月8日雅思大作文題目

Some people think hosting major international sports events brings a lot of advantages to a country, while others believe there are more disadvantages. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

【解析】這次考試題目比較簡(jiǎn)單，且跟去年7月中旬的一場(chǎng)考試題目高度相似（見下文）。甚至，去年7月這場(chǎng)考試，審題時(shí)需注意，對(duì)于利弊的兩個(gè)立場(chǎng)還有限制（好處只能寫“文化融合”，壞處只能寫「浪費(fèi)花在其他地方的錢」）; 這次考試題目只問了「對(duì)一個(gè)國家的利弊」，可寫的范圍更大，包含了去年這場(chǎng)考試的范疇，也給考生規(guī)避了跑題風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

范文參考7.16的考試范文，汲取觀點(diǎn)，開頭段微調(diào)，符合本次考試題意即可。

2022.07.16 Some believe that the Olympic Games help bring people from different nations together, while others claim that holding the Olympics wastes money that could be used for other important issues. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

范文及解析

Introduction

It is not a rare case that an enormous number of rich countries apply for hosting large-scale sports events like the Olympic Games. While some argue that it is a waste of money, I entertain the view that it is a perfect chance for the union of diverse cultures.

解析

體育相關(guān)的雙邊討論。注意：論述雙邊時(shí)，都必須論證“奧運(yùn)會(huì)如何把大家聚一起”以及“奧運(yùn)會(huì)為什么是浪費(fèi)錢”，不是討論各自利弊。相關(guān)話題：（1）Some people think that sport has an important role in our society. Others, however, feel that it is nothing more than a leisure activity. DBG.（2）Some countries achieve international sporting success by building specialized facilities to train top athletes instead of providing sports facilities that everyone can use. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?（3）Some people believe that competitive sports, such as football, could bring people from different countries and cultures together. Others believe that competitiveness of those sports cause some problems. DBG.

Ø entertain vt. 持有，懷有

Ø union n.[U] 聯(lián)合，合并；結(jié)合

Body 1

It is justifiable for some to reckon that holding the Olympic Games may incur a budget deficit especially for those relatively underdeveloped nations. This is mainly because a colossal sum of money, which should have been allotted to other essential fields for the social soundness, has to be allocated to not only constructing a vast number of required sports facilities, such as the stadium, but also providing athletes with accommodation and other amenities. Such newly-built facilities may be less useful and thus seem to be a waste of money, especially when the basic needs of the locals are not well satisfied. // However, those facilities can actually be converted to the places where local residents spend their leisure time on regular exercises, which, in the long term, can guarantee their physical well-being and thus alleviate the burden on the healthcare sector. Meanwhile, such events spur the local tourism, from which the income gathered can to some extent offset the prior costs.

解析

讓步-浪費(fèi)錢：較落后的國家辦奧運(yùn)會(huì) → 大量的財(cái)力建設(shè)設(shè)施 → 設(shè)施不實(shí)用，不能滿足國民的基本需求（浪費(fèi)錢）// 反駁：保持人們身體健康，長遠(yuǎn)來講，緩解醫(yī)療的壓力 & 辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)帶來的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益

Ø incur vt. 招致（貶）

Ø deficit n.[C] 逆差，虧損，赤字，不足額

Ø colossal adj. 巨大的

Ø allot…to… vt. 分配…到…

Ø soundness n.[U] 穩(wěn)定

Ø allocate…to…vt. 分配…到…

Ø amenity n.[C] 福利設(shè)施

Ø convert vt. 轉(zhuǎn)變

Ø well-being n.[U] 健康

Ø alleviate vt. 緩解

Ø spur vt. 促進(jìn)

Ø offset vt. 彌補(bǔ)

Body 2

As a matter of fact, behind the Olympics is the fusion of diverse cultures. For starters, as the Game is hosted in turn by different countries worldwide, it is a perfect platform for the host country to present their own culture to the whole world through various ways from pre-game propaganda to the opening ceremony. By this way people with different backgrounds can gain a glimpse into the culture of the host country, which thus further eliminates the cultural misunderstanding. / Besides, due to the fondness of the sports and athletes, sports fans who share the common ground, regardless of their nationalities, will be more inclined to learn the cultures and nations where the sportsmen come from. This is the ideal of holding the Olympics – forming a more harmonious and peaceful global village.

解析

立論：（1）辦奧運(yùn)會(huì) → 給世界展示主辦國的文化 → 消除文化隔閡；（2）辦奧運(yùn)會(huì) → 促進(jìn)有相同愛好的觀眾交流 → 更和諧的文化融合

Ø fusion n. 融合

Ø propaganda n. 宣傳

Ø eliminate vt. 消除

Ø common ground n. 共同愛好

Conclusion

Generally speaking, rarely does hosting the Olympic Games waste the money, and instead it brings people from diverse countries together.
