環球教育GEDU發布時間：18-11-1409:5611月初第一場雅思考試的大作文題目，給各位考生帶來了點小麻煩。題干中赫然在列一個因果關系。對于備考經驗不是那么豐富的考生而言，這是個不小的麻煩。通常的同意與否類的題目中會有“并列關系”，“目的關系”和“因果關系”。相對于表達比較普通的題干而言，這些類題目都不算常見。今天我們就剖析一下這個因果關系。11月01日考題如下：Public transport should be funded by the government so that it can be free for the people who use it. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20181101審題之后不難看出，題干的前半句和后半句用so that鏈接，是一個非常典型的結果狀語從句。也正因如此使得很多考生不太清楚這個道題的討論重點是什麼，是前半句的原因，還是后半句的結果。其實題干中出現這種因果關系的時候，我們可以將其簡單地分成兩類。1.有明顯的背景Children can learn effectively from watching television. Therefore，children should be encouraged to watch television regularly both at home and at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20170318上題中的第一句明顯是個背景的介紹，因此這道題的討論重點自然就是題干中的第二句。類似的題目還有：The news media has become more influential in people’s lives. Some people, therefore, think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 2016023Detailed description of crimes on newspaper and TV can have bad consequences on society, so this kind of information should be restricted on media. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? 20170525Nowadays more and more people are using cell phones and computers to communicate with others. Therefore, they are losing the ability of face-to-face communication. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20161126在仔細讀題之后，考生們很容易就能區分開題干中的背景信息，進而就可以明確知道該題目的討論重點是什麼。2.沒有明確背景的這類題就比較討厭了。題干中并沒有明確的背景信息，考生們不太容易判斷該題目究竟是原因和結果一塊討論，還是只討論結果即可。例如本文最開始的11月01日的考題。其實，各位不必多慮，也不必糾結。首先，這類題目中的因果關系往往都是塑料因果關系，經不起推敲。其次，為了以保萬全我們在文中就題干的原因和結果分別展開討論，這樣肯定十分對題而不可能出現偏題。見下題：It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures, because we can learn from books, films and internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20171005面對此題，考生們肯定能夠明確前半句是一定要重點討論的，但是后半句這個原因狀語從句呢？討論它總比不討論的好。下題也是如此：Maintaining public libraries is a waste of money since computer technology is now replacing their functions. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20161008電子閱讀是不是能完全取代圖書館的功能是一定會出現在文章當中的。因此，類似這類題目，我們就將這個因果關系看成是題干需要我們討論的兩個題干觀點。分別討論，分別總結。Public transport should be funded by the government so that it can be free for the people who use it. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20181101本題例文如下：After realizing how much money people pay for their transportation monthly, some of them call on governments to heavily finance public transport system, and others even suggest that the system should be fully funded by governments so it can be free of charge for every user. However, from my perspective, a system like this must be a thankless one.開頭段，不僅介紹了背景，點明了題目。筆者還強調了自身的立場。While discussing whether a city needs a free public transport system or not, we have to put sufficient emphasis on some possibly unwelcomed outcomes caused by it. Chiefly, supposing we already had a system like this, almost every day I would certainly take bus for 1 hour to go shopping in a far-away but cheap supermarket where I could save 20 or 50 Yuan for a daily shopping. This is to say, this kind of traffic demand is definitely unnecessary, and it can be greatly stimulated by the free system. As a result, more social resources such as transport infrastructure would be unduly used. On top of this, investing and remaining this system must be fairly costly, imposing unbearable financial stress on governments.主一段：筆者著重討論題干中的結論，既我們需要不需要一個完全免費的公共交通系統。Instead of funding the system fully, governments are supposed to subsidize it more appropriately. The funding from governments should be utilized for keeping the fare reasonable and especially acceptable for low-income population such as the unemployed and minors. An instance in point is that in most countries students under 18 can buy some discount tickets for airlines, trains, buses and subways. The subsidy provided by governments makes the system more affordable by every public transport user.主二段，筆者重點討論題目中的原因，既公共交通系統需要不需要政府的資助。In conclusion, although we do not need free public transport since it might cause plenty of adverse problems to us, the governmental subsidy is still imperative.本文兩個主段就分別討論了題干中的結果部分和原因部分。因此，本文的結論非常清晰易懂。此文為該題目N多可行解題思路之一，供大家參考。
