Others think that it is better to work for different organisations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 1. For most people, when they get their first job they have little idea whether or not they will remain in the same organisation throughout their working life. 2. If they decide to change, they need to consider how this will impact on their career overall. 注意开头段写法，说明背景句+观点的方式已经被雅思官方认可，而且一般就两句话。 但是这两句话作者并不是随意的简单同意替换，句型上来说一定要丰富。比如作者用了一个用了一个时间状语从句+一个条件状语从句。 平时在行文练习中，一定要注意开头段的长句子输出，如果大家无法用一个句子说清楚背景，可以用两个句子，介绍背景加题目观点。 另外一个句子来表达自己观点。 从现在官方范文来看，几乎所有开头段都表达了作者的观点。 3. People who stay with the same organisation will have the advantage of a thoroughly understanding how it works and also becoming familiar with the staff and processes. 4. If they work hard, their promotion prospects are good and there is likely to be greater job security with a promise of a good pension when they retire. 5. Employers value loyalty and may offer additional incentives to long-term employees, including bonuses and reward schemes. 第3句，中心句，表达长期从事一份工作的主要好处 第4句，中心句的拓展，解释在长期工作的情况下，如果工作努力，又会得到什么好处 第5句，解释雇主对忠心员工提供的好处, including的用法一定要学会别动不动就such as 很多同学一遇到稍微抽象的问题，就不知道该怎么拓展了。动不动就for example了，其实这是下策。本段就为大家做了一个如何的拓展示例：从多角度看问题——横向、纵向、时间维度、地域维度、主观客观等等 这样去思考拓展，就很明显了： 第一句的好处其实是主观好处，针对本人的；第二句的好处是时间维度的；第三句的好处是客观，是从雇主提供的。以此类推，就不愁没有写的。 6. However, one of the drawbacks of staying with the same organisations is that the person may get stuck doing the same job year after year. 7. In some cases, this can lead to boredom and disillusionment. 8. Moving from one organisation to another can be a strategic decision in order to have variety and acquire a range of skills and experience. 9. A friend of my father started out as a sociology teacher, he then joined the Social Services and is currently managing a care home in Western Australia. 10. This has made him incredibly knowledgeable in a range of related fields and, in my view, has provided him with a much more interesting working life. 第6句，并不能算直接中心句，不太建议同学采用这种写法，容易让考官误认为此段要写长期待的坏处了。其实本句准确来说算一个让步句，建议放到上面一段去。 第7句，真正的中心句，换工作的好处 第8句，举例，你以为她真的仅仅是在举例么？其实是在秀语法！什么语法，时态！对一个句子中将两次过去和现在进行全用上个了，这样的举例你们会写么？是不是从来没有想内部资料，请勿传播 V-0.1 by小新 IELTS 7 in each QQ群：238168874 群内更多完整资料 过呢，其实纵观整个考官范文，时态的重要性一直被我们忽视了，考官特别注意时态。有了准确的时态，例子一下鲜活了，代入感随之产生，我们也能明白，有这么一个朋友老爹，过去现在的变化，以及因此或得的好处。 第9句，举例之后的总结。很多人在举例之后就嘎然而止，其实不太好。应该学习作者，有简单的评论和总结。否则无法使举例显得扣题，容易丢分。另外，注意in my view 的位置，是不是和大家不一样呢。偶尔插入一下，就让考官更爽嘛！ 11. There are benefits to working for one organisation, I feel that it is also valuable for an employee to be able to offer a wide range of experience having worked for different companies. 12. As long as it is planned carefully, I feel that change is good and will ultimately benefit the employee and the employer. (281 words) 两句话表达观点加结尾 第11句，注意分词的用法，这是本句亮点。很多同学写到这里就只能 and 或者 which，俗不俗啊！另外注意to 是介词，所以用working（区别不定式） 第12句，很常用的句式，有模板嫌疑，但是大家一定要背会，几乎都是万能的。只要xxx，就能ooo。其实若用虚拟语气结尾也让老师知道你的语法丰富度。 总结： 整篇文章用词简单明了，结构丰富，衔接紧密，内容扣题，真正体现了雅思官方对于当前作文考试的各个要求。其实通过分析，文章总共12句话，句句精彩，大家在平时的练习中一定要多注意这种长句子+短句子结合，并且准确描述意图的风格。如果你没有能力写出一个句子超过25个单词，那么很难让考官相信你的作文程度有7分的。 当然，本文也有一定的瑕疵，比如最后一段写作者观点，稍微不够丰富，有草草收场之嫌。另外organisation用得太过于频繁，可适当替换。 整体分数：7.5-8 扣题：7.5 衔接：8 语法：8 词汇：7.5 后面的文章同学们可以尝试将每个句子按照中心句，解释，举例，对比 等进行分析，同时总结常用的词伙以及句子表达方式。通过观察作者的句子之前的关系来体会如何扣题和衔接；通过词伙和句子结构来学习地道表达和语法。不断积累提升作文的硬实力。 内部资料，请勿传播 V-0.1 by小新 IELTS 7 in each QQ群：238168874 群内更多完整资料 Test 2 One of the consequences of improved medical care is that people are living longer and life expectancy is increasing. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages? Over the past 50 years, people have become used to the idea that they will probably live longer than their grandparents did. However, a longer life is only desirable if you can look after yourself and be independent, otherwise there can be disadvantages for everyone. If you walk into a hospital in my country, you are likely to see a lot more elderly people than you did in the past. In fact, this is causing significant problems as there is a shortage of beds. Medical treatment is keeping the elderly alive, but at what cost to others? On top of this, one of the biggest medical problems these days is dementia. Even if old people are still fit, they may not be able to look after themselves. They may have to live with their children or be cared for in a home, which can be expensive. Elderly people do not like to be a burden, but their children can feel obliged to care for them. Obviously, not all old people become ill. Those who remain healthy can enjoy a happy old age as long as they have saved enough money. People are much more active in their sixties and seventies than they used to be and this can only be a good thing. They have time to enjoy their retirement and do a range of activities that then could not do when they were at work. They can also help look after their grandchildren, which is a great benefit for working parents. To sum up, I believe that we should aim to keep people as healthy as possible so that they can enjoy their old age without having to rely on others. A longer life expectancy is obviously advantageous, but no one wants to live to be 100 if they only cause problems for their family and society.

How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars? Most people would agree that car ownership has increased in recent years and is causing a range of problems, particularly in build-up areas. I think there are a number of ways that governments can aim to deal with this. Many big cities in the world have traffic problems but these problems vary. For example, it is reasonably easy to drive around my city after 10 am and before 5 pm. However, outside these hours, you have to allow double the usual time to reach your destination. In some other cities, traffic is congested at all times, and there is the continual sound of car horns as people try to get wherever they want to go. 此处注意文章的问法，how true do you think 而作者采用了两个例子来表达自己同意城市交通拥堵的状况 One of the best approaches governments can take in busy cities is to encourage the use of public transport. This means the transport facilities have to be well run and people must be able to afford them. Buses, trams and trains are good ways of getting around, and if they are cheap and reliable, people will use them. Another approach is to discourage people from actually entering the city by building car parks and shopping centres on the outskirts. Many cities around the world do this quite successfully and offer passengers bus transport into the centre, if they need it. At peak travel periods, governments can also run campaigns to encourage people to be less dependent on their cars. Apparently, a lot of car trips involve very short journeys to, say, the supermarket or local school. These are often unnecessary, but we automatically get in our cars without thinking. Clearly we all have a responsibility to look after our cities. Governments can do a lot to improve the situation and part of what they do should involve encouraging individuals to consider alternatives to driving.

It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? The growth of the fast food industry has, without doubt, impacted on the eating habits and the health of many societies around the world. Diabetes, high cholesterol, heart and respiratory problems are all on the rise due to fatty and sugar-rich food. However, the question is whether higher tax would improve this situation or not. From an economic point of view, higher tax might seem sensible. In countries such as the USA, Australia and Britain, the healthcare system spends a large part of its budget on people with diet-related health problems. It could be argued that these people have caused their own illnesses because of their choice of food. In this case, why should they expect the state to pay for their treatment? The tax could help fund the healthcare system. However, we also need to consider which socio-economic group consumes fast food as the main part of their diet. Statistics indicate that lower income groups eat more of this food than wealthier people. One possible reason for this is that fast food is far cheaper than fresh produce. This is because many governments offer large subsidies to farmers who provide products for the fast food industry, such as corn, wheat and beef. Fruit and vegetables, on the other hand, are not subsidised. Research suggests that many families simply cannot afford to buy healthy food or pay higher taxes on fast food. For them, fast food is not a choice but a necessity. In conclusion, imposing a higher tax on fast food does not seem to be the answer. If the government chose to do this, it would only lead to greater poverty and families facing further hardship.

In many cases, the people being monitored are unaware that this is happening. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages? In recent years, advances in technology have allowed governments, the police and privately owned companies to keep the public under constant surveillance. In many major cities and towns, security cameras are recording the movements of ordinary citizens. Whenever a cellphone is used, the call is logged, so the service provider knows exactly when and where the user made the call. Invisible satellites orbit the Earth, watching us whether we like or not. Is this, however, a development we should welcome? Certainly there are benefits. In areas where there is a high crime rate, the use of security cameras may act as a deterrent to criminals: If they can see a camera, they may think twice about breaking into a building or stealing a car. If a crime is carried out, then a camera may provide useful evidence. The same is true for a cellphone: the police sometimes rely on call logs to help them track the whereabouts of suspects or victims. On the other hand, there are a number of concerns. In countries where human rights are ignored, the use of security cameras or listening devices may be harmful to society. People should be able to hold meetings and express their opinions without their privacy being invaded. There is also a very different issue we should consider. Nowadays, many people upload personal information and photographs onto social networking sites; they often do not realise how easy it is for other people to view this information or for the site owners to use the data or photographs for their own financial gain. It seems inevitable that there will be more and more ways to monitor society in the future. However, it is our responsibility to evaluate new technology and decide whether it will do more harm than good. Surely our freedom is more valuable than technological progress?

Nowadays, they have more opportunity to study abroad. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this development? You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. The pursuit of knowledge is a concept that is valued by most cultures. In the 21st century, we now have many more options regarding how and where to find that knowledge. If you are a French national, you can apply to do an economics degree in the USA, and likewise an American citizen can take a course in linguistics in France. Indeed, most universities across the world now have a good proportion of foreign students enrolled in their programmes. Certainly, there are numerous advantages of studying in a different country. Many students choose to do this because they know that a particular university, for instance Stanford Business School, has an excellent reputation. Graduating from here, they believe, will increase their chances of securing a decent position in a company back home. Students studying abroad also have the opportunity to form friendships with people of various nationalities: in time, these may develop into useful professional networks. Furthermore, living far from family and friends can enable young people to become more independent and self-sufficient. Unfortunately, the experience of studying abroad is not always a positive one. Research suggests that a small percentage of young people struggle to adapt to their new environment and suffer from severe culture shock. The situation can become worse if the student is not mature enough to cope by themselves. Different approaches to teaching and learning may also come as an unwelcome surprise to some students. In essence, the key to a good experience at a foreign university is an open mind. If a student is presented with this opportunity, they should certainly seize it.

What action can be taken to prevent people from having this problem? Nowadays we are living in a society based on consuming. As a result, some people have problems in dealing with this budget and they get into debt by buying things they don’t need and can’t afford. This kind of behavior is encountered quite often in our present days, mainly because of the possibility of buying goods in leasing. Hence, people buy most of the goods using the credit card without having a clear idea on how much money they possess or they owe. Also, another cause for this behavior could be psychological. The advertisement and the subliminal messages one encounters in a regular day in a big city has an enormous impact on one’s brain. The main problem is the lack of awareness of the serious effects that advertisement can have on people. In order to prevent people from adopting this dangerous behavior, measures should be taken so as to raise awareness among people. Also, one must learn how to manger his budget in order to get a balance between necessiting and pleasure. Keeping a record on income and monthly spendings would be very helpful and would give to the consumer an overall image on how his budget should be spent. All summed up, the chances of becoming a victim of the consumer’s society are high nowadays due to the surrounding temptations but this problem could be easily avoid by being aware of this dangers and having a rational attitude when dealing with money.
