雅思写作是听说读写四门当中最困难的一门,不仅因为评分标准严格,雅思写作本身话题难易也有起伏,比如媒体类,科技类,社会犯罪类,政府类,价值观类以及工作类等相对离考生生活学习比较遥远的话题,此时如果考生上考场在时间非常紧张的情况下,又对话题不熟悉,就会遇到因为拓展不开而紧张等状况,最终影响考试发挥,因此在考前对于一些比较遥远不熟悉的话题可以做一个提前的了解,如背景知识,以及思路的brainstorming以及词汇的总结,下面小优就给大家分析一下相对比较困难的雅思写作题。
Today there is a great increase in anti-social behavior and lack of respect to others. What are the causes of this? What measures can be taken to reduce this problem?
(当前,反社会行为和缺少对别人的尊重有一个上涨趋势,哪些因素导致这个问题产生,并且可以采取什么样的方式缓解这个问题)
类属话题:社会犯罪类 很多考生拿到这个题目之后,首先从结构上看是个并列,anti-social behavior 和lack of respect,这两个短语中,后者比较好理解,就是缺乏尊重,而后者anti-
social behavior,考生可能会卡住,因为从字面意义上理解反社会行为离我们生活比较遥远,所以学生脑海中搜素不出相关的信号词和思路,大部分都只是能够想到的anti-social behavior
是crime,而具体crime是什么又感觉语言缺乏的阐述不出来,所以类似这样的题目提前可以准备是最好的,那么我们看下到底老外认为的anti-social behavior是什么意思,具体内容又是什么?
From Wikipedia:(维基百科) Anti-social behaviors are actions that harm or lack consideration for the well-being of others. Many people also label behavior which is deemed contrary
to prevailing norms for social conduct as anti-social behavior. The term is especially used in British English。(反社会行为指的是损害或者缺乏考虑他人的幸福和健康,许多人也把这
种行为认为是和当前的社会规范相反的一种行为,这个词英国本土使用较多) From economist:(经济学人) Antisocial behavior can generally be characterized as an overall lack of
adherence to the social norms and standards that allow members of a society to co-exist peaceably. Many people who display this type of behavior may seem charming, but often
cause harm to others and show little remorse for their actions. Antisocial behavior can be part of a larger conduct disorder, or personality disorder, such as antisocial personality disorder,
and is seen in men more commonly than women. (同样定义的是和当前社会行为准则并不相符的,并且反社会行为的人表面上可能看起来无公害,实际上会危害到他人并且毫无悔改之意等等)
From online resources:(来源网络) a person lacks empathy, which means the ability to understand the feelings of others, and does not care about how he or she makes others feel。
(缺少同情心,不能理解他人感受等等)
总结:从定义上看,anti-social behavior含义很广泛,不仅仅是大家理解的犯罪,不关心别人,冷漠等,都是anti-social behavior的表现,包括题目中and
链接的后半部分---对别人不尊重。所以大家如果开头或者中间段先把anti-social behavior定义一下,那么写文章时候就可以拓宽思路,想原因也可以宽泛一些。 除此之外,大家要注意:Anti-social
is frequently used, incorrectly, to mean either "nonsocial" or "unsociable". The words are not synonyms。(在这考生们要注意同意互换时候不要换成意思完全不同的这两个词)。 然后我们具体
看看维基百科以及英美本土人如何去总结和定义的Anti-social behavior具体内容的: 1.children between ages 13–14 who bully or show aggressive behavior towards others exhibits anti-social
behaviors in their early adulthood。(对于孩子来说,展现出来的反社会行为是欺负他人和攻击性行为)
2.Children or adolescents with conduct disorder will typically show three or more of the
following signs consistently in their personality traits: lBehaves impulsively, thoughtlessly jeopardizing the safety of himself and others. lIs manipulative, and lies or cons his way through situations.
lDoes not follow rules, and enjoys breaking the law. lBorrows money with no intention of repaying it. lSteals. lIs overly aggressive, often picking fights. lIs willing to hurt others emotionally or physically
without showing remorse. lIs arrogant and overly confident. lLikes to set fires. lIs cruel to animals. (表现的冲动,不危及自己和他人的安全,操纵,说谎或反对他的方式通过情况,不遵守规则,喜欢违法,
借钱而不打算偿还,偷盗,过分好斗,经常打架,愿意在感情上或身体上伤害他人而不表现出自责,傲慢和过度自信,喜欢纵火,对动物残忍。) 3.many different acts are classed as anti-social behavior
such as, misuse of public space, disregard for community safety, disregard for personal well-being, acts directed at people, graffiti, protests, liquor offences and drunk driving。(这句话里面定义
到的反社会行为也很细节,许多不同的行为被归类为反社会行为,如滥用公共空间、无视社区安全、漠视个人福祉、针对人的行为、涂鸦、抗议、酒后犯罪和酒后驾驶。) 4.intentionally damaging or
destroying someone else's property, receiving or selling stolen goods,attacking someone with the idea of hurting them.(故意破坏或者破坏他人财物,收受或者出卖赃物,以伤害他人的方式攻击他
人的观点) 5.Antisocial personality disorder is usually grouped with other, related personality disorders: borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic.(反社会人格障碍通常是由其他相关的人格障碍:边缘、
表演型、自恋) 总结:一旦列出了以上反社会行为的细节,那么想原因就会较容易,并且有针对性,比如,孩子不守规矩可能是家庭教育问题,或者是现在学校管理不严格等等,而成年人的这些反社会行
为可能和政府立法,立规,监管不严有关系。
