在2016年雅思寫作考試中，科技類話題占比5%。一些考生一直對科技類話題雅思作文如何寫有所苦惱，今天，環(huán)球小編為各位考生帶來雅思寫作科技類話題備考資料，希望對大家能有所幫助。

　　科技類話題會考哪些題目？

　　1.現(xiàn)代通訊科技

　　母題1：People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people face-to-face. What are the effects of this on individuals and society as a whole? (050226, 070331)

　　提示：這道題目是經(jīng)典的科技類話題，因為這道"無臉化交易"的題目濃縮了網(wǎng)絡購物、電視購物、網(wǎng)絡銀行，ATM自助銀行、手機銀行、電話會議、視頻會議等多種話題，是大家必寫的話題之一。

　　母題2：Many employees may work at home with the modern technology. Some people claim that it can benefit only the workers, not the employers. Do you agree or disagree? (050716, 091212)

　　提示："遠程上班"telecommute也是一個重點話題，對于員工和雇主當然都有好處。

　　2.現(xiàn)代媒體（電視、電腦、手機）

　　母題

　　1： Some people believe that time spent on television, video and computer games can be valuable for children. Others believe this has negative effects on a child. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (080110)

　　提示：這道話題涵蓋了電視、視頻和電腦游戲的好處與壞處，可以多練習。

　　母題2：There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones? (060114)

　　提示：這道題目是手機類話題的經(jīng)典題目，從社會、健康、科技三個角度來展開，范圍很廣。

　　子題：要不要鼓勵兒童看電視？看電視和玩游戲對小孩、家庭和社會有什么影響，怎樣解決？電腦不能幫助兒童學習，只會造成身心傷害，你同意嗎？如何鼓勵老年人使用手機和電腦？手機對于個人和社會的好處與壞處是什么？

　　3.替代類話題

　　母題：Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. (120112)

　　提示：這道題目入選母題是因為它結合了科技、文化和政府三大話題，非常值得一練。不過考慮到2012年1月12日剛剛考過，最近幾個月再考的概率不會很大了。

　　子題：圖書館要不要提供高科技媒體諸如電腦軟件和DVD？網(wǎng)絡是否會取代博物館和美術館？手機和電腦正在逐漸取代書信，你同意嗎？機器（機器人）取代人類工作，利弊如何？網(wǎng)絡教育是否會取代傳統(tǒng)課堂？（提示：這部分話題與教育類話題結合，已被歸入教育類）

　　4.其它科技話題（與社會、生活類話題結合）

　　題目：飛機旅行只對富人有好處嗎？現(xiàn)代科技使人們失去創(chuàng)造力嗎？科技發(fā)展造成負面影響了嗎？科技發(fā)展是否拉大了貧富差距？早起的科技是否比現(xiàn)在的科技影響更大？科技改變了人們之間的關系了嗎？科技造成環(huán)境污染/使我們的生活變得更加復雜，我們是否要告別科技，過簡單的生活？

　　提示：對于拉大貧富差距這個話題，可以網(wǎng)上搜索一下digital divide這個關鍵詞。

　　雅思寫作科技類話題思路擴展點

　　1.用處

　　Many employees may work at home with the modern technology. Some people claim that it can benefit only the workers, not the employers. Do you agree or disagree?

　　People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without face-to-face communication. What are the effects of this on individuals and society as a whole?

　　Some people think that without technology life would be much easier. Do you agree or disagree?

　　主要是科技可以用來做的事情，三個話題可以彼此借鑒觀點。主要是科技帶來的好處、壞處以及帶來的影響。

　　2.人群（小孩的成長）雅思寫作科技類話題思路擴展點

　　Some people think that children can get better language skills and creativity by watching television rather than reading books. Do you agree or disagree?

　　Some people believe that time spent on television and computer games can be valuable for children. Others believe this has negative effects on a child. Discuss

　　both views and give your own opinion.

　　Some people think that children should use computers every day. Do you agree or disagree?

　　這三個話題涉及到看電視或者用電腦給小孩造成的影響。

　　3.替代 雅思寫作科技類話題思路擴展點

　　Some people think that the government should establish museums. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

　　Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

　　這兩個話題講的都是科技的發(fā)展，網(wǎng)絡的出現(xiàn)是否會取代實體的建筑（例如博物館或者圖書館）？針對這種話題首先一定要談論到網(wǎng)絡的好處，其次再分別提到圖書館以及博物館的好處。

　　4.其他

　　Many people think that public libraries should only provide books and should not waste their limited money on expensive hi-tech media such as software, video or DVD. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

　　科技類話題解題思路

　　第一，從Individual（個人）

　　缺點

　　1.人際關系冷漠 (lack emotional contact with family members and friends)

　　2.過度依賴，缺乏主動性以及創(chuàng)造性 (over rely on)

　　優(yōu)點

　　1.提高效率 (boost / enhance effectiveness and efficiency)

　　2.節(jié)省時間 (save time / slow down the pace of life)

　　3.增加便捷性 (make our lives more convenient)

　　4.減少成本 (reduce the cost of…)

　　第二，從establishments（公司）

　　缺點

　　1.過度依賴科技，人事關系冷漠，不利于生產(chǎn)效率以及員工忠誠度的培養(yǎng) the overuse of high technology, employees would become increasingly indifferent to their colleagues, having a negative effect on the production efficiency and the cultivation of loyalty to the company among workers

　　優(yōu)點

　　1.減少成本，例如人事成本 reduce the cost, including the budget in personnel

　　2.解放工人，增加員工滿意度 save the labor / liberate workers（解放工人）

　　3.不要做一些危險的工作 will increase the efficiency and productivity of work, especially for the dangerous, accurate and repetitive task.

　　第三，從Society & Government（政府/社會）

　　缺點

　　1.科技的運用會取代人力，增加失業(yè)率（例如自動取款機、自動售票機，自動販賣機） the replacement of human employment results in higher unemployment rate

　　2.滋生了更多的犯罪類型（網(wǎng)絡交易的興起導致了信用卡詐騙）

　　優(yōu)點

　　1.發(fā)展經(jīng)濟

　　2.運用科技可以解決當前很多急迫的問題，例如對污染的處理、合理的開發(fā)利用能源以及治療一些疾病 some social concerns could be dealt with properly, such as the disposal of pollution, the development and exploitation of energy and the treatment of medical conditions.

　　從上文中可以看出，在有關科技的優(yōu)缺點中，優(yōu)點會比缺點好寫。下面我們來看一下科技類話題的例題，來看看在考場上怎么把這些常用論點放到文章中去擴展論據(jù)。

　　Some people think that the government should establish museums. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

　　這個話題中，首先討論了網(wǎng)絡對人民獲取信息的好處，這里面無需從公司和國家社會出發(fā)，主要寫對個人的好處即可。對個人來講，可以1. 提高效率 (boost / enhance effectiveness and efficiency)，網(wǎng)上可以瞬間查到幾乎所有你想要的資料，可以快速篩選信息；2. 節(jié)省時間 (save time / slow down the pace of life)，不用把時間浪費在來回的路上以及盲目地去找書；3. 增加便捷性 (make our lives more convenient)，隨時隨地可以查找信息；4. 減少成本 (reduce the cost of…)，有些博物館進館參觀需要錢，當然這點在這里可以不寫。

　　博物館的好處也可以從個人和社會方面著手。對個人來講，更能深切地體會與了解歷史上所發(fā)生的事件 (have a good idea about the historical events and the contemporary people)；對于社會來講，博物館更有對國民進行歷史教育的作用 (pass on the knowledge to the next generation)，博物館可以陳列歷史物品 (display of historical objects)，博物館也可以提供工作機會 (a source of employment)。

　　科技類話題中的高頻詞匯或詞組

　　pave the way for 為…鋪平道路

　　lay a solid foundation for… 為…打下良好的基礎

　　promote relative industries 促進相關產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展

　　give a great push to the economic growth 極大地推動了經(jīng)濟發(fā)展

　　sustainable development 可持續(xù)性發(fā)展

　　technical innovation 科技創(chuàng)新

　　附上環(huán)球教育顏王團名師楊亮老師的雅思A類作文科技類范文之太空技術

　　Some scientists believe that intelligent life forms may exist on other planets and some want to send message to contact them. Others think it is a bad idea because these life forms may be too dangerous. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 20161013

　　10月13日雅思A類大作文考了一個科技相關的題目，在審題之后，都會發(fā)現(xiàn)這的確是一個和太空技術有關的題目。題目討論的關鍵也的確是人類是否應該和可能存在的外星人聯(lián)系。這類文章的確可以放開腦洞，天馬行空進行想象，寫成作文的時候，會發(fā)現(xiàn)下筆的確的有些崩潰。來看看環(huán)球教育名師楊亮老師的觀點吧。

　　Scientists in some space research institutes have been sending message to some corners of the universe since they were able to do that. Possible consequences of doing so, seemingly, have not been carefully analyzed yet.

　　本段的開頭算是言簡意賅了。其實，眾所周知往外太空發(fā)信號，絕對不是一天兩天的事情了。咱們國家剛剛建成的那個"大鍋蓋"可不是為了看電視多收幾個頻道。因此一個簡單的背景介紹之后，就是明確地表達了筆者的觀點。對此，筆者表示并不樂觀。畢竟筆者是看了很多科幻片的。

　　Primarily, building connection with other intelligent species with humans' current technology does require incredibly high cost. This is to say, tremendous fund ought to be utilized for related technology research and establishment of some certain facilities instead of being used for solving some livelihood problems. Even though mankind were setting up connection with aliens who are living in a couple of light years away and are obviously less civilized with less advanced technology, with limited space technology that humans have currently we would be able do nothing further. Investing billions of dollars for saying hi to someone who might not understand at all is definitely not a wise decision.

　　坦言之，在寫這道題之前，筆者還真心的思考過這么問題。那是午夜夢回，輾轉難眠的夜晚。筆者仰望星空，發(fā)現(xiàn)，其實也看不到啥。但是這并不影響筆者對于這個關乎全人類未來的命題的思考。以人類目前的有限的太空技術，和外星人建立聯(lián)系肯定是大費周章的事情。那么如果被我們聯(lián)系到的外星人文明程度還不如我們。那將是一個極其尷尬并且非常不經(jīng)濟的局面。耗費大量人力物力只為了和外星人打個招呼，并且對方還不一定能懂。這明顯不是一個明智的決定。簡言之，這段針對題干當中第一部分的人的觀點進行論述。只論證，如果外星生物的智能程度不如我們的情況。為下文留下伏筆。

　　Worse, unknown creatures that receive humans' greeting are more advanced and intelligent ones than inhabitants of the earth. What will happen at that time is more likely to be what people often see in science fiction movies nowadays. "White house is being attacked and Air Force One is shot down by missiles from unidentified flying objects". Intelligent species are not willing to co-exist peacefully or harmoniously with other creatures whose civilization apparently lags way behind. Their greed drives them use wars to make the earth their colony offering whatever they need from this planet. If that happened, humans would extinct and the only survivors would live their life in zoos of aliens.

　　承接上文，如果被我們聯(lián)系到的外星生物在文明程度和科技發(fā)展領域都完勝地球上這些愚蠢的人類。那么后果不堪設想，在這里請大家自覺腦補各種科幻片里面的破壞場面。請大家放心，首先被襲擊的永遠是紐約，美國都快被消滅完了，外星人才會發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來地球上還有個亞洲?？傊@段直接回答了題干中另外一部分人的觀點，并且肯定了他們的想法。

　　As has been mentioned above, possible outcomes of sending message to unknown life in somewhere of the universe are what humans cannot afford or what we cannot accept. Therefore, space telescopes are not what we should spend money on, as paying for risks is never worthy.

　　結尾簡要地表達筆者觀點。與外星人建立聯(lián)系，不是徒勞無功就是引狼入室。
