雅思写作真题题型,也就是先提出一个现象或问题,考生需要分析这个现象/问题产生的原因,并提出解决办法。这种题型相对是比较简单的,因为里面不涉及论述自己的观点。
本题提出的现象是:现在工作世界正在发生快速变化,人们不能一辈子只从事一件工作,或者在一个工作条件下工作一辈子。原因大家应该比较容易想到:这是由于技术的更新换代引起的。技术变化,对工作的需求就要发生变化,工作的环境也会发生变化。在论述这个的时候,我们应该能想出1-2个具体的例子。比如在建筑工地上(construction site),以前很多由人工来完成的工作现在都由机器来完成,这必然会导致很多建筑工人失业。
那么,面对这样一个局面,人们应该做哪些准备呢?首先,当然是要紧跟新技术,掌握新技术就等于掌握了未来,其次,是要学习人际沟通技巧,未来无论千变万化,人际关系总是无法被机器所取代,那些有很强的人际沟通能力的人会有更好的职业前景。

The world of work is in transition(过渡中)due mainly to automation enabled by technologies including robotics and artificial intelligence. Automation is replacing human tasks, changing the occupational(职业的)skills that employers are looking for in their employees. Many jobs that people are doing today have the potential to be automated and disappear altogether. For instance, the traditional construction site(建筑工地) needed a lot of workers, but now most of the construction work is done by machines. Obviously, working conditions today are not the same as before and many people can no longer rely on taking the same job for good(永远地).

As a result, there is a growing concern about whether there will be enough jobs for workers in the future. This worry raises the question: How can people ensure(确保)that they are prepared for future work roles and what are those skills which are necessary for people to succeed in the new world of work?

Given(鉴于)the potential of automation to put jobs at risk, people should prepare to remain employable in the future by learning communication skills while keeping steps with new technologies. Although automation may be affecting manufacturing jobs, the human touch must be one thing that technologies cannot replace. In addition to working with the ever advancing technologies, therefore, it is important to realize that excellent interpersonal skills may play a vital role in future job market. Examples are plenty. For an office worker, that could mean being able to communicate across departments. For someone in customer service, it is interacting with another human. For a care provider, it is the empathy(同情心)to help someone in need. Acquiring communication skills can set oneself apart from(把自己和......区别开来) his/her compes in the new world of work.

To sum up, it is clear that the development of automation has rapidly changed the world’s work landscape(景观;局面). To become successful in the future workplace, it is crucial for people to know new technologies and how to communicate with others as well.
