雅思寫作 | 教育類話題大作文就這么寫！

 教育類是所有考生最熟悉的話題，其中有一類話題就是去探討課程設(shè)置。寬泛的題目會涉及到不同的教育體系的抉擇—通識教育和職業(yè)教育哪種更好？題目也可細化到各個科目：“外語課/ 音樂/繪畫是否應(yīng)該是必修課” ？

常用論點如下：

1、通識教育（general education）的好處更全面的教育使學生有機會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們真正熱愛的東西。如果他們被限制在一個狹窄的科目范圍內(nèi)，那么他們將無法拓寬他們的學術(shù)視野，并找出激勵和振奮他們的東西。

A holistic education affords students the pportunity to discover what they are truly passionate about. If they are restricted to a narrow range of subjects, then they would not be able to broaden their academic horizons and figure out what inspires and invigorates them. 

我們的當代社會往往需要全面的知識和多樣化的技能。例如，經(jīng)濟學家不僅需要對數(shù)學和金融有強有力的掌握，而且還需要對可能解釋經(jīng)濟趨勢的相關(guān)社會學因素有細微的了解。 

our contemporary society often requires well-rounded knowledge and a diverse skillset. Economists, for example, not only need to have a robust grasp of mathematics and finance, but they also need to have a nuanced understanding of relevant sociological factors that may explain economic trends.  

2、職業(yè)教育的好處以職業(yè)為導(dǎo)向的課程將使學生在職業(yè)生活中占得先機。例如，一個專注于科學科目的學生會比一個混合學習科學和人文課程的學生擁有更深入的、針對特定主題的知識和技能，以便將來從事工程工作。

A more career-oriented curriculum would give students a leg-up in their professional lives. For instance, a student who focuses on science subjects would have more in-depth, topic-specific knowledge and skills for a future career in engineering than a student enrolled in a mix of science and humanities courses.

優(yōu)先選擇幾個科目對學生來說也更容易管理。與其在不同領(lǐng)域的科目間周旋，學生將能更好地把注意力放在重要的課程上，并取得更好的學術(shù)成果。

Prioritizing a few select subjects would be more manageable for students as well. Rather than having to juggle subjects from disparate fields, students would be better able to devote their attention to classes that matter and achieve better academic results.

3、學習歷史的必要性歷史讓人了解我們自己的文化和傳統(tǒng)多年來是如何演變的。對許多人來說，這種對過去的記憶突出了本土文化，使社會群體有了歸屬感。

History throws light on how our own cultures and traditions have evolved over the years. For many people this remembering of the past highlights the native culture and gives social groups a sense of belonging. 

歷史為我們提供了分析和解釋過去問題的工具，它使我們能夠看到在現(xiàn)在可能看不到的模式, 從而為理解并解決當前和未來的問題提供了一個重要的視角。

History gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding and solving current and future problems.

4、學習藝術(shù)的必要性藝術(shù)科目鼓勵自我表達和創(chuàng)造，可以建立自信和個人身份感。Arts subjects encourage self-expression and creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of individual identity. 

學習藝術(shù)提供了獲得新技能的機會。除了不同的藝術(shù)形式、媒體和技術(shù)的知識外，你還可以在攝影和數(shù)字技術(shù)等領(lǐng)域獲得專業(yè)技能。Studying ar provides the opportunity to acquire new skills. As well as knowledge of different art forms, media and techniques you can also gain specialist skills in areas such as photography and digital technologies. 

4、其他關(guān)鍵學科的重要性數(shù)學：從小學習數(shù)學技能可以為孩子將來學習的一切打下基礎(chǔ)。研究表明，與其他技能相比，數(shù)學技能的發(fā)展是未來在閱讀和數(shù)學方面取得成功的一個更好指標。 

Learning math skills at an early age can create a basic foundation for everything a child learns in the future. Research shows that the development of math skills is a better indicator of future success in reading and math than any other skill. 

科學：科學有助于我們對周圍世界的了解。我們對宇宙的一切了解，從樹木如何繁殖到原子是由什么組成的，都是科學研究和實驗的結(jié)果。

Science helps our understanding of the world around us. Everything we know about the universe, from how trees reproduce to what an atom is made up of, is the result of scientific research and experiment.

語言：語言技能可以成為一個重要的競爭優(yōu)勢，使你在同齡人中脫穎而出。它們是所有職業(yè)所需的重要技能之一。

Language skills can be a significant competitive advantage that sets you apart from your  peers. They are among the top skills required of all occupations.

我們一起來看個例題：In some countries, secondary schools aim to provide a general education across a range of subjects. In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. Which of these two systems is more appropriate in today’s world?

【20190912】這道題可以完美套用我們剛才所說的【職業(yè)教育的好處】、【通識教育的好處】。我們就不多說了。

那再看看這道類似題：Some people believe that university education should focus on the skills of employment for the  future. Others think they should focus on academic study only. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

【20210612】乍一看不認得，但仔細看看，不也還是在說職業(yè)教育和學科學習的好處嗎？是不是又能套用【職業(yè)教育的好處】以及【其他關(guān)鍵學科的好處】了？

再舉個例子：Some people think it is important for all children to learn history in school. Others believe that other subjects are more relevant to children’s lives today. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

【20190801】這個題目要求學生討論兩個觀點，“歷史學科的重要性”和“其他學科更重要“。

一方面，論證“歷史學科是重要的”，我們可以參考以下剛才提到的【學習歷史的必要性】中的論點。另一方面，如果你想論證“其他科目更重要”，我們也可以說你覺得更重要的學科，請參考【其他關(guān)鍵學科的重要性】的論點。

總之，在討論某種教育體系、學科的必要性時，我們可以思考是否該教育體系/學科能提升學生某種能力、是否對將來的職業(yè)規(guī)劃有益處。 

常用表達：

反思自我reflect on oneself

以史為鏡take history as a mirror

民族認同感national identity

擴大知識面expand the scope of knowledge

邏輯思維logical thinking社交能力social skills
