2018年3月15日雅思写作考试回忆及解析 TASK 1 The bar chart shows the percentage and exact time (weekly) males and females spent on house tasks in 2010 of a country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. (Word count： 199) The bar chart illustrates how many females and males participate in house chores and how much time they spend in these tasks in the year of 2010 in a particular country. It is quite evident that a larger proportion of females take part in the housework. Apart from house repair, in which more males allocated more time than females (14% versus 8%), the other categories all saw a higher female participation in the house tasks. Specifically speaking, there were 62% of females doing the cleaning, far outnumbering the males. The difference of figures was quite similar in cooking meals, where majority of females were engaged in this house task, compared with only less than a quarter of males. In terms of the amount of time both genders spent, a substantial quadruple gap can be found in cooking meals and cleaning. Females averagely spent 82 and 42 minutes in cooking and cleaning, while their male counterparts only spent 21 and 10 minutes accordingly. Interestingly, the same quantity of time was spent in caring pets but men devote more time in house repair. Overall, females are more involved in most of the household task, while house repair is more undertaken by males. TASK 2 题目类别：社会类 提问方式：观点类 考试题目： Some countries spend a lot of money preparing competitors to take part in major competitions such as Olympic Games or football World Cup. Some people say that it would be better to spend this money encouraging children to take up sports from a young age. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (Word count： 306) Throughout human history sport was and still is one of the major types of entertainment. Olympic Games, and other countless sports competitions play an enormous role in our life. In order to achieve good performance in these competition, the government need to invest plenty of money. However, some people argue that it would be better to spend this money on children physical education. Personally, I think government should spent money on both sports competition preparation and children physical education. Firstly, it should be considered that the number of ordinary children is considerably higher than the top athletes. So, money is needed to construct some sports facilities where these children could have the chance of physical activities. Only in this way can a nation maintain an energetic and efficient young generation to guarantee a sustainable development of the country. Therefore, the government in a county should be more focused on improving the public physical exercises than winning some trophies. On the contrary, every single country wants to prove that they are the best in the world. There are multiple ways to prove this and sport is one of them. Each year various international competitions take place around the globe. America is the unbeaten leader in many of these events and it is not surprising. Annual government reports show that the US investments in its sports clubs are one of the highest. By contrast, African government spends much less of their budget on sport. This fact easily explains why America outperforms most other countries in sports. Therefore, considering both the arguments, I think the government should make a balance between the two. On one hand, physical activities for children is essential for maintaining a healthy and energetic generation. On the other hand, proper investment in world competition could help to prove the country itself on the international stage. 相关资料 |
