雅思写作如何解析才能获得*们给出的呢?朗阁雅思培训的教师根据考生们的疑问,特此编辑这篇文章,帮助考生完成雅思写作备考。
Question: It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than young people in many countries in the future. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
解读:这个题目的意思是在未来,老年人所占的比例会比年轻人多,这种情况是个积极的发展还是个消极的发展。对于广大的烤鸭来说,这个题目的审题需要注意两点:首先,人口老龄化的问题指的是在未来,而不是现在。所以,考生在描写的时候,一定要提到未来的发展情况。其次,可能很多考生一提到人口老龄化,脑子里就会反应所有的坏处,而没有任何的好处。如果要采取双边的写法的话,那么考生就必须要讨论到积极发展的一面。如果要讨论积极的一面的话,考生可以考虑市场的问题。
1st argument:
The insidious, possibly irreversible, trend of population aging-a phenomenon that is pervading the entire world, particularly the OECD nations-will add tremendous financial burden to the government to a point where it will threaten to strain, if not deplete, the limited governmental reserves. A closer examination suggests that the real picture may appear graver. Without any reliable source of income, the retired senior citizens survive largely on pension that is transferred to their bank accounts on a monthly basis. Worse yet, pensioners are prone to severe illnesses that could only be treated with exorbitant surgeries and costly drugs. In countries where the elderly enjoy a better social welfare and free medical care, the state expenditure on pension and medical fees might amount to a staggering proportion of a nation’s annual GDP.
2nd argument:
Furthermore, the skewed demographic distribution against the young adults in the population implicates acute labor shortage in many industries, particularly labor-intensive ones. Physical senility disqualifies 60-year-olds from those laborious, physically demanding professions, which also serves the employers well since the young adults could be far more productive and thus help companies to reap more profits. Unfortunately, inadequacy in supply of competent laborers might force factories to scale down, if not shut down entirely, their production out of cost-effective considerations.
3rd argument:
The rising dominance of the graying population promises a vast market of a diverse range of products that are specifically targeted at the elderly people. In China, the last decade witnessed an increase in the severity of population aging as well as a booming market for such products as wheelchairs, hearing aids, and more importantly, healthcare products. It has become a new, predominant tradition that the young adults will buy in bulk an array of healthcare products for the elderly people in their family in times of festivals. As this problem continues to be more severe for years to come, it is expected that the market will grow at an exponential rate.
思路:
这篇文章主要是从三个方面去探讨人口老龄化的问题,主要包括两个负面影响和一个积极影响。首先,人口老龄化是一个可能无法逆转的趋势。这个现象在全*都非常的普遍,尤其是在一些发达国家。这样一来,会给当地的政府带来巨大经济负担。在一些严重的情况下,这可能会耗空当地政府的资金储备。如果我们仔细分析和研究的话,我们会发现退休的老年人没有任何的收入来源,所以他们只能单独的依靠退休金来生活。更糟糕的是,这些退休老人容易得一些严重的疾病。而一旦得病,他们则需要大量的医药费和昂贵的手术费用。在一些*免费医疗的国家,政府在退休金和医药上的花费可能*终会变成一个非常大的数值,占GDP很大的比例。
其次,老年人所占的比例太多也就意味着年轻人的比例非常少,可用劳动力短缺的问题在一些劳动密集型产业里非常的严重。身体上的虚弱让那些六十多岁的老年人无法从事一些对体力要求非常高的工作。这对公司来说也很好因为年轻人的生产力更高,并且能够帮助公司能够赚取更多的利润。很不幸的是,劳动力的缺乏可能会逼迫工厂不得不缩减规模,甚至彻底关闭。这样的做法也是出于节省成本的考虑。
从反面来说,老年人的比例过大代表一个针对老年人相关产品更大的市场。在*,过去的十年里我们看到了人口老龄化的日趋严重,以及相关产品的市场的日益扩张,比如说轮椅,助听器,以及*健品。现在,已经变得很普遍的情况是逢年过节的时候,年轻人已经*大量的,各种各样的*健品。在*的未来,人口老龄化问题变得越来越严重,市场的扩张会非常地*。
