2017年10月28日雅思大作文题目
“ Nowadays, people can live and work in anywhere, because of the improved communication technology and transport. Do you think its advantages outweigh its disadvantages?”
本周雅思作文问的是:由于通讯技术和交通方式的改进,现在人们可以在任何地方工作和生活了,这个是好处多还是坏处多?
这个题目是2014年9月4日雅思考试的原题再现。唐老师在此也很想将重要的事情说三遍:2014年下半年、2015年上半年的原题在近期雅思考试复现率很高,请大家关注,请大家关注,请大家关注!
那么,由于技术的改进,我们现在可以选择在任何地方工作和生活,这是什么意思呢?
如果不清楚,我们只要想一想:以前,我们一定要去单位上班,因为只有通过面对面交流才能工作,而且交通也不发达,因此,我们只能选择住在单位附近的地方。而现在呢,我们的通讯技术完全可以让我们不用去单位上班了,即使要去单位上班,发达的交通也可以让我们选择住在离单位比较远的地方。那么有了这种自由度的好处有哪些呢?
不必去单位上班,可以减少通勤时间,因此可以减轻交通压力;而不必住在单位附近,我们不仅可以选择更便宜的地方居住,从而减轻经济压力,而且还可以选择自己最喜欢的地方居住,心情愉快。
但是,这种自由度也不可避免地带来一些坏处:
在家工作往往因为各种干扰而效率不高,同时因为不住单位附近,与领导同事的面对面交流机会可能大量减少,从而导致很多业务机会和晋升机会的失去。比较一下,似乎好处还是大于坏处,因为和同事的交流可以通过其他方式来解决,而可以选择上班的方式和居住的地点带来的自由度则是用其他方式无法获得的。
老师笔记
01
Years ago, we had to live close to where we worked, for we had to travel to and from work by taking the slow-moving buses or riding bicycles. Now, owing to the advanced communication technology and transport system, we seem to have much more flexibility in choosing where to live and work. Many people, for instance, choose to live somewhere far away from their office because they can work at home by using computers and, when they do have to show up in their office, they can get there in time, thanks to the conveniences offered by the high way and metro services.
很多年前,我们得住在离上班很近的地方,因为我们必须乘坐缓慢的公共汽车或骑自行车上下班。现在,由于先进的通信技术和交通系统,我们似乎有更多的灵活性选择在哪里居住和工作。例如,很多人选择住在离办公室很远的地方,因为他们可以用电脑在家里工作,当他们必须要出现在办公室,由于有方便的高速公路和地铁服务,他们也能及时达到那里。
解析
(1)本段为引入段,对题目进行细化描述,同时为下一段做好准备。
(2) to and from work 上下班
(3) owing to (=thanks to) 由于
(4) flexibility 灵活性
(5) show up 出现,露面
02
This newly found flexibility has both advantages and disadvantages. When it is no longer necessary for people to travel to work, they can save a lot of commuting time and the rush-hour traffic problem can also be lessened. At the same time, when they are given the freedom to live wherever they like, people may choose to live in a place which is less expensive and more peaceful. This will reduce people’s financial pressure and help solve the housing problem in big cities. However, living far away from their office and working at home is not without disadvantages. People who work at home often find they become less efficient because they have more distractions and less peer pressure and living far away from office means less opportunity to have face-to-face interactions with their colleagues and superiors, which may result in the loss of business and even chances of promotion.
这一新近获得的灵活性有优点和缺点。当人们不再需要去上班时,他们可以节省大量的通勤时间,而且高峰时间的交通问题也可以减轻。同时,当人们有选择住哪里的自由时,他们可以选择生活在一个更便宜、更安静的地方,这将减少他们的经济负担,也有助于解决大城市的住房问题。然而,住在远离办公室的地方并在家里工作也不是没有缺点。在家工作的人经常发现他们变得不那么有效率,因为分心更多,而同事压力变少了,而住在离办公室很远的地方意味着他们与同事们和上级的面对面交流的机会减少,这会导致业务受损,甚至丧失晋升的机会。
解析
(1) 本段论述远离工作单位居住,同时在家工作的好处和坏处。
(2) newly-found 新近找到的
(3) commuting time 通勤时间
(4) not without 不是没有......
(5) distraction 分心的事情
(6) superior 上司
(7) result in 导致
03
If we compare the merits and demerits of living far away from office and working at home, we will find the problems such as reduced work efficiency and less communication with colleagues can be rather easily overcome, but the precious freedom to choose where to work and live is much harder to come by. My conclusion, then, is that people should be given the right to choose where to work and live, especially when the new technology and transport have already made this possible.
如果我们比较远离办公室和在家工作生活的优点和缺点,我们会发现,工作效率降低,与同事沟通少的问题,可以比较容易克服,但要得到在哪里工作和居住的宝贵自由却难得多。因此,我的结论是,人们应该有权选择在哪里工作和居住,尤其是当新技术和交通已经使这成为了可能。
解析
(1) 本段论述提出自己的结论。
(2) merits and demerits 优劣
(3) overcome 克服
(4) come by 获得 (=obtain)
