教育类话题是历年雅思考试中经常出现的话题,有些烤鸭可能会认为,教育话题离我们的实际生活是最为接近的,毕竟我们现在还都是正在“被教育”的一代人,但真正动笔写的时候才发现:我离你那么近,却又那么远。

原因在于,教育话题的出题范围之广,小到学龄前教育,大到学生的职业生涯规划。

你肯定遇到过:

艺术和理科我选哪个?

家里人能不能让小朋友养宠物?

我该在家还是在学校学习?

电子设备能不能让我带进教室?

小朋友犯罪家长应不应该受惩罚?

大学生应不应该上职业培训课?

and so on

​可见,教育类题目五花八门,按照阶段分有小学、中学、大学,按照领域分又有学校生活、家庭生活和课外生活等,只依赖于平时学习生活的心得体会还真不一定能帮我们搞定题目,但是他们还是有一些共同点的。

今天,就让我们一起来学习如何在没那么多丰富经历的情况下破解这一类话题,积累一些常见的观点,所谓“万金油”理由。

雅思写作教育类话题破题思路

大部分的教育类话题都围绕学生和儿童出题,考虑到这两类群体的特征,我们可以从以下几个方面思考观点:

1. 学习

教育类题目中,学生可能要做很多事情,比如选择专业、参加课外活动、小组讨论等。这些事情的宗旨极有可能和学习相关,例如:

improve efficiency

boost interest of study

acquire comprehensive/detailed/sound knowledge

improve academic performance

lay a solid foundation for further study

拿一道题举个🌰:

Some people think that universities should not provide so much theoretical knowledge but give more practical training throughout their courses. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

这道题问的是学习理论知识更好还是实际训练更好,如果我觉得理论知识更重要,可以有如下和学习相关的观点:

lay a solid foundation for practical training或者 set a direction for future education 理论知识可以为之后的实践打下基础。

a deeper understanding of concepts,which is essential to improve academic performance 对学科概念有更深层次的理解,从而提高成绩。

2. 技能

同样,除了学习上的好处,学生也可以通过参与各种活动、上不同的课、做兼职工作等get某个技能或培养能力,例如:

communication skills

social skills

cooperation

time management

prioritize decisions

critical thinking

problem-solving

creativity

how to handle failure

还是刚才的题目 如果我选择practical training就可以从problem-solving切入,在实践过程中总会encounter a variety of difficulties因此require students to brainstorm possible solutions 也可以论证它的重要性 the tools of daily business 对日常生活也非常有帮助。

再来看这道题:

In some countries, many people choose educate children at home by themselves instead of sending them to school. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

假如我认为在学校学习更好,那么我可以拥有social skills-appropriate ways to behave with various people。

3. 品质

教育类话题中,经常会提到的还有品质。毕竟现在的学校不仅重视成绩,还致力培养学生正确的三观及优良品质(focus on quality-oriented education),例如:

patience

persistence

confidence

honesty

self-discipline

independence

keep your promises

stay teachable

来看题目:

A university is considering requiring students to take public speaking class, no matter what field they study. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

我同意。因为可以增强自信心public speaking can significantly boost students’confidence。

演讲过程需要克服恐惧(Overcoming the fears and insecurities that accompany public speaking is empowering. )

与听众的联系可以提醒你 你的声音并不是无足轻重(connecting with audiences can be a strong reminder that you have valuable insights and opinions to share with the world.)

4. 发展

一些教育类话题的观点可以延伸到学生的未来发展上,比如选择专业、学校提供就业指导、 玩电子游戏等。

career development

physical development

mental development

character development

intellectual development

来看题目:

Subjects such as Art, Sport and Music are being dropped from the school curriculum for subjects such as Information Technology. To what extent would you support or reject the idea of moving these subjects from school curriculum?

选择艺术科目还是理科课程,我选理科可以prepare for future career-survive in the workplace 因为理科知识相对更实用 Having a background in a STEM gives students a competitive advantage when applying for jobs.;或者也可以从技能方面切入,可以获得word processing and programming skills。
