【雅思备考外国视角】雅思大作文discuss both views模板

编者按：这是从国外一个考官的的博客里搬过来的一篇关于雅思大作文discus both views型的大作文改如何作答的一些结构上的归纳，有一些借鉴意义，特分享给大家。

A Task 2 questions often ask you to Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Here's how I structure a 4-paragraph essay for this kind of question:

A 他的满分4段雅思大作文万能结构。

1. Introduction (2 sentences):

导入：2句

· First introduce the topic. I often begin with the phrase "People have different views about...".

· In the second sentence, mention both views and your own opinion. I often use the word "although" in this sentence e.g. Although there are good arguments in favour of..., I personally believe that...

解读：原来导入段的考官模板句就是这么朴素！！！

2. The first view

一方观点

3. The second view (I make it clear that I agree with this view)

另一方观点(清晰表明，我同意此观点)

4. Conclusion: summarise both views and your own opinion

结论：总结一下两方观点和你的观点。

B 一个discuss both views

B 大作文实例讲解如何写主体段

Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

And here's my plan for the second view (one paragraph only):（注意只是关于一方观点的主体段）

1. Topic sentence - only study useful subjects, various reasons

2. Give examples of subjects that are more useful than others

3. Personal reasons - job opportunities, career progression, high salary

4. Societal reasons - cover gaps in knowledge / skills in the economy

5. Future reason - new inventions lead to growth and future prosperity

Now here's the paragraph that I wrote with my students, using this plan:

(1) There are various reasons why people may believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future. (2) It is true that university courses like medicine, engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. (3) From a personal perspective, these courses can provide more job opportunities, career progression, better salaries, and therefore an improved quality of life for students who take them. (4) On the societal level, by forcing people to choose the most useful university subjects, governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered. (5) Finally, a focus on technology in higher education could lead to new inventions, economic growth, and greater future prosperity.

Note:

To write this 'band 9' paragraph, we simply turned the 5 points in the plan into 5 full sentences.
