雅思大作文7分范文及解析:农村地区孩子容易入学,Students from poor backgrounds such as rural areas often find it difficult to gain access to university education, so people think universities should make it especially easy for them to study at. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
题目大意
贫困学生(如农村学生)上大学困难,因而有观点认为大学应该对这些学生放低入学要求,让他们可以入学。同意或反对?
写作思路
这道题目包含两句话,首先明确哪一句是需要同意反对。题目中明确有people think的表达,即people think后头的内容才是观点;而前面的上学困难,只是一个背景,无需同意或反对。
有三种回应方式:1)完全同意(主体段全部阐述这样做的好处);2)完全反对(主体段全部阐述这样做的好处);3)如果单纯讨论好坏的内容不足,可以加入一个让步的内容(即这样做的好坏都讨论,后得出结论是同意或反对)
审题,找出关键词/限定词
poor backgrounds such as rural areas:对讨论对象作了限定,文中在论证方法的好坏时,所针对的对象要明确针对农村穷困人口;
make it especially easy for them to study at:对办法和结果做了限定,令入学更容易,以便令其有上大学的机会;
提纲
高分范文
It is true that students from less developed areas has more difficulty in entering university, which leads to an opinion that the academic institutions should lower the entrance requirement for these applicants, allowing them an easy access to tertiary education. This suggestion might benefit certain groups of students, though, I do not think that increasing the opportunity of higher education has to be at the sacrifice of the scholastic principal.
It is easy to understand why it is argued that students from impoverished areas deserve preferential treatment in the entrance examination to universities. To the advocates of this, they take it for granted that students from regions of underdevelopment are academically inferior to their counterparts in more affluent areas, given the fact that the majority of prestigious schools are concentrated in urban areas. In response to this, to lower the entry threshold for such students could ease their academic shortage and therefore increase their possibility of passing the entrance exam.
Plausible though the argument sounds, I would say that it is irrational to bestow a privilege to certain students to the inequality of others. It is a fallacy that students at a disadvantage should be treated with different standard in competition. To take Olympic games for reference, despite the imbalance between rich and poor countries in their resources in sports, we do not expect to have different judgement criterion based on where the players come from. As well as the rationality, another problem we cannot afford to ignore is the that such a practice would undermine the educational quality: an easy access means some academically unqualified applicants will be given the offer to study the courses that are beyond their capability; I doubt the professionalism and prospects of these graduates.
In conclusion, I am convinced that it is absurd for universities to lower the scholastic requirement of entrance to accommodate less advantaged students.
