文化類】:
International travel often lead people have some prejudices rather than broad minds. What are the main reasons of this phenomenon? What do you think people can get better understanding of the countries they visit? 國際游經(jīng)常使人們產(chǎn)生文化偏見,而非幫助他們開拓視野,原因何在?如何幫助人們更好地理解旅游目的地。
【薛鵬點評】:
雅思舊題,原題重現(xiàn),角度較冷,寫作較難。尤其考察的頭腦風(fēng)暴,人生閱歷,以及相關(guān)的語料庫的積累和運用。
本題屬于分析問題解決問題的提問角度,符合雅思寫作輪轉(zhuǎn)提問的規(guī)律,但是,其角度比較簡單。其考察內(nèi)容,對于一般考生,想在現(xiàn)場完成高分作文,阻力較大。
小鵬哥本篇解析為舊文潤色,語料庫覆蓋全部雅思提問角度。
分析問題和解決問題布局圖:
首段:背景介紹 +(問題影響)+ 寫作目的
二段:分析問題產(chǎn)生的根源:(客觀上 + 主觀上)(社會原因+ 家庭原因 +個人原因)
三段:問題的解決策略展開:(針對原因:政府如何做;企業(yè)如何做;媒體如何做;教育者如何做;家庭如何做;個人如何做)
尾段:再次亮明觀點(強調(diào)問題的解決應(yīng)該是各方的協(xié)同努力)
【薛鵬頭腦風(fēng)暴】:
人人渴望旅行,以拓寬視野和豐富閱歷,但是,有時候,旅行的過程使游客們產(chǎn)生的卻是文化偏見,而非精神的愉悅和視野的開拓。
例證拓展:在韓國, 撫摸人的頭是文化禁忌之一;是一種不尊重人的表現(xiàn)。
例證拓展:在泰國,女性在參觀寺廟的時候,如果衣服露出膝蓋和肩膀會被認(rèn)為是一種不尊敬宗教信仰的體現(xiàn)。
例證拓展:在西方國家給服務(wù)者小費是一種習(xí)慣和風(fēng)俗,尤其是在熱門的旅游目的地。例如,在馬爾代夫,很多歐美人習(xí)慣性地服務(wù)生小費,但是,有些中國人就喜歡給小費(因為中國沒有這個傳統(tǒng)),這時候,如果有服務(wù)生索取小費,游客不給,矛盾沖突,在所難免。(比較有意思的是:如果游客說沒有小費可給,服務(wù)生會說:留下手表、項鏈、相機作為禮物也是可以)
例證拓展:臺灣人是不食狗肉,在中國大陸,很多地方,例如延邊,人們以狗肉為美食(延邊人有句話:鮮族人過年,要了狗命了)?梢韵胂螅喝绻_灣人到延邊去旅行,被邀請吃狗肉,他們不會認(rèn)為這是一種盛情款待,反而,會感到不解甚至憤怒。
【薛鵬原創(chuàng)范文賞析】:
首段:背景介紹 + 寫作目的
Such is human nature to explore those exotic countries and feel the sense of refreshment. Many people desire to expand their minds and enrich their experience of the world during the process of visiting their dream tourism destination. However, some problems inevitably ensue. Instead of feeling the pleasure of travel, what some sightseers feel are only culture prejudice, conflicts and misunderstandings.
【薛鵬點評】:原則上講,首段理應(yīng)亮明寫作目的,但是,文無定法。本篇小鵬哥省略主題觀點,留下想象空間,自然引出原因以及解決策略。其實,在英語論文寫作中,這是方法之一,稱為: deduction writing.
解析:Such is human nature to …… 做……是人之本性
拓展:To see the outside world is what every individual aspires after. 見識外面的世界是人人心中的渴望。
解析:However, some problems inevitably ensue. 然而,一些問題,不可避免地隨之發(fā)生。
二段:問題的原因一的展開:
First, historical differences and diverse customs, to some extent, contribute to the bias, misunderstandings and even hostility. A case in point is that eating dog meat is permissible and understandable in some minority areas in China. More precisely, Taiwan people might be quite amazed when hearing or seeing dog meat is edible, for it is illicit and forbidden to persecute dogs in Taiwan. It is conceivable that Taiwan tourists might be quite shocked and disappointed when visiting some Korean minority areas in Mainland China. People there always take dog meat as delicious foods.
【薛鵬點評】:旅行中的偏見可能是來自歷史和風(fēng)俗的差異。
解析:contribute to the bias, misunderstandings and even hostility 導(dǎo)致了偏見,誤解和敵意。
解析:it is illicit and forbidden to persecute dogs in Taiwan. 在臺灣,迫害小狗是非法的,被禁止的。
解析:visiting some Korean minority areas in Mainland China 參觀中國大陸的一些朝鮮族地區(qū)
三段:問題的原因二的展開:
Further,some sightseers’ deeply rooted concept, and diverse life experience account for the appearance of culture prejudice. To illustrate , a kind of benediction like may you child become a dragon might be acceptable in Chinese culture. However, westerners might consider this kind of malediction as a curse for their children, for dragon equals to monster in western culture.
