雅思大作文问题类型:Give your opinion essay

雅思写作大作文 give your opinion 是常见问题之一,特别是近年雅思G类大作文,多为此类问题。对于这类问题,与agree/disagree的写作思路非常相近,需要陈述正反两个方面并给出你的观点。

写作实例

Some people believe that violence on television and in computer games has a damaging effect on the society.

Others deny that these factors have any significant influence on people’s behaviour.

What is your opinion?

这是一篇关于暴力传媒对社会产生何种影响的大作文,对于give your opinion 类型问题,写作思路可参照如下:

首先,你需要从两个给定的观点中选择你的观点。当然,你也可以选择这种的观点(本篇实例采用了一边倒的观点)。

  • violence in media has a damaging effect on the society
  • violence in media doesn’t have a damaging effect on the society

 

当你选定观点后,需要为你的观点寻找论据:

  • violence in media has a damaging effect on the society
    people often copy actions they see on TV
    violent video games teach people that aggressiveness is normal in everyday life
    you have an example of the connection between violence in media and social violence

 

  • violence in media doesn’t have a damaging effect on the society
    people act from their motives, regardless what they see on the television
    video games and television can reduce social violence by providing a safe outlet for aggressiveness
    you have never seen the connection between violence in media and social violence
    For our essay, we’ll choose the second opinion.

写作结构

  1. Introduction
  2. Body paragraph 
  3. Conclusion

1.Introduction

  • Paraphrase the statement (sentence 1) and give your own opinion (sentence 2):
  • These days, the amount of violence in media is growing. While some people argue that this trend will undoubtedly lead humans to dangerous future, others claim that it has no damaging effect on the society. I believe that in most cases media violence doesn’t affect people’s behavior.

2.Body paragraphs

  • Describe each argument to support your opinion in a separate paragraph. Your essay should have 2-3 body paragraphs. Use linking structures, vocabulary to write essays and some words from academic wordlist:
  • Firstly, I think that people act from their motives, regardless what they see on the television. That is to say, if someone intends to do harm to somebody, that is not because of watching TV or playing computer games, but due to that person’s character and education. Although it is generally considered that violent media accustoms viewers to cruelty, I doubt this opinion. In my view, reasonable and intelligent people treat others humanely irrespective of what they see or hear in fictional stories.
  • Moreover, video games and television may even reduce social violence by providing a safe outlet for aggressiveness. In other words, truculent people may fight in virtual reality instead of evincing their combative spirit in real world. This may not only help those people, but also reduce the level of social violence in long-term perspective.
  • Finally, despite many claims and assumptions about negative effects of television and computer games I have never seen any proven connection between violent media and illegal activities in social life.

3.Conclusion

  • In the conclusion paragraph briefly summarize what you have written and restate your opinion:
  • Taking everything into consideration, I would say that violence in contemporary media has no substantial influence on people’s behavior. Television and computers are not the main factors that shape personal character, and they can even be useful in reducing the level of violence.

 

写作范文

These days, the amount of violence in media is growing. While some people argue that this trend will undoubtedly lead humans to dangerous future, others claim that it has no damaging effect on the society. I believe that in most cases media violence doesn’t affect people’s behavior.

如今,媒体中的暴力事件越来越多。有些人认为这一趋势无疑会导致人类走向危险的未来,而另一些人则认为这对社会没有破坏性的影响。我相信在大多数情况下媒体暴力不会影响人们的行为。

Firstly, I think that people act from their motives, regardless what they see on the television. That is to say, if someone intends to do harm to somebody, that is not because of watching TV or playing computer games, but due to that person’s character and education. Although it is generally considered that violent media accustoms viewers to cruelty, I doubt this opinion. In my view, reasonable and intelligent people treat others humanely irrespective of what they see or hear in fictional stories.

首先,我认为人们的行为是出于他们的动机,不管他们在电视上看到了什么。也就是说,如果某人想伤害某人,那不是因为看电视或玩电脑游戏,而是因为那个人的性格和教育。虽然人们普遍认为暴力媒体使观众习惯于残忍,但我对此表示怀疑。在我看来,通情达理和聪明的人对待别人是人道的,不管他们在虚构的故事中看到或听到什么。

Moreover, video games and television may even reduce social violence by providing a safe outlet for aggressiveness. In other words, truculent people may fight in virtual reality instead of evincing their combative spirit in real world. This may not only help those people, but also reduce the level of social violence in long-term perspective.

此外,电子游戏和电视甚至可以通过为攻击性提供一个安全的出口来减少社会暴力。换句话说,好斗的人可能会在虚拟现实中战斗,而不是在现实世界中表现出好斗的精神。这不仅可以帮助这些人,而且可以从长远的角度减少社会暴力的程度。

Finally, despite many claims and assumptions about negative effects of television and computer games I have never seen any proven connection between violent media and illegal activities in social life.

最后,尽管有很多关于电视和电脑游戏的负面影响的说法和假设,我从来没有看到暴力媒体和社会生活中的非法活动之间有任何联系。

Taking everything into consideration, I would say that violence in contemporary media has no substantial influence on people’s behavior. Television and computers are not the main factors that shape personal character, and they can even be useful in reducing the level of violence.

综上所述,我认为当代媒体中的暴力对人们的行为没有实质性的影响。电视和电脑并不是塑造个人性格的主要因素,它们甚至可以在降低暴力水平方面发挥作用。
