不难发现,这些话题都是写作中的常考话题(例如technology, health,environment,parenting)。
下面我们以parenting(longman字典中的释义:the skill or activity of looking after your own children)话题中的一篇题为‘How parents’ arguments really affect their children’的文章为例,看看其对雅思写作的借鉴意义,题目类似:青少年犯罪(uvenile delinquency/ youth crime/ teenage crime)的原因是什么,家庭教育(parental education)对于孩子言行举(behaviour or manners)的影响有哪些。
这里,我们可以摘录出row这个less common word,意为“争吵”可替代argument/disagreement。
这里,作者用how引导主语从句how parents get on with each other(父母之间如何相处)作主语,引出争吵对于孩子可能会产生哪些影响(from mental health to academic success and future relationships从心理健康到学业成就到未来和人的关系)。
这里,出现了很多亮点表达,consistently withdraw or give each other the “silent treatment”(争吵时总是离开或者用沉默来对待彼此), children exposed to conflict may have increased heart rates and stress hormone responses(暴露于冲突环境中的儿童可能会更大的心率和压力激素反应), infants, children and adolescents can show signs of disrupted early brain development, sleep disturbance,anxiety, depression, conduct disorder and other serious problems as a result of severe or chronic interparental conflict(婴儿,儿童和青少年由于严重或慢性的父母间冲突可能表现出早期脑发育障碍,睡眠障碍,焦虑,抑郁症,品行障碍和其他严重问题)。由此联系雅思写作相关话题,我们可以借鉴并提炼出一些句子,例如children’s academic performance学业表现/ personalities性格can be affected by exposureto ongoing conflict or rows。
