雅思写作观点对比类型思路梳理

　　Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

　　此类提问的题目中必然会有双方观点。

　　可能是正反方，观点完全对立。

　　如：2009年1月10日考题Some people believe that the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between the poor people and the rich people, while some others say this has an opposite effect. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

　　也可能只是对于某一话题的不同看法意见而已。

　　如2010年2月11日考题Some people think that politicians have the greatest influence on the world. Other people, however, believe that scientists have the greatest influence. Discuss both of views and give your opinion.

　　但是不论是何种对立观点，在回答此类题目时基本要把握的是考生必须在同一篇文章里面同时出现这双方的观点并进行适当的讨论，同时也绝不能忘记提问中的后一半问题give your own opinion，也就是说全文完成后应该要有包括自己观点在内的3方人的看法和意见。

　　当然此类Discuss both of views and give your opinion在最近几年里的上升速度和出镜次数是远远盖过了雅思的典型提问方式Do you agree or disagree，在剑桥系列4-7的16次题目中有6次是讨论双方的题目，分别是Cambridge IELTS5 Test3, IELTS6 Test2, IELTS6 Test3, IELTS6 Test4, IELTS7 Test1, IELTS7 Test2. 那么到底该如何在短短的250个字内安排好3方人的看法呢?考试时若碰到此类问法，我们又该用什么样的回答结构来应对呢?还是以剑桥系列考官所给范文为例，我们分析如下：

　　Cambridge IELTS5 Test3有关竞争与合作的题目中，考官最后给出的参考范文是得分为6分的学生作文，文章共分成4段，结尾段是阐述自己观点和理由的段落，而中间两段分别介绍双方的看法，但是两个段落明显存在长短详略，所以考官给出的评语中有这么一句话：Although the answer considers the main issues in the question, it deals much more with the aspect of competition than it does with cooperation However, the main points are relevant and the writers point of view is generally clear.

　　这篇文章也正好提醒我们的考生在完成此类文章时一定要注意在分析双方看法时不要有明显的字数差距。

　　我们再看一例Cambridge IELTS6 Test2有关体育明星高收入是否公平的题目回答，考官给出了一篇Model Answer，我们可以清楚的看到全文的4个段落的框架分法，开头和结尾段字数略少，并未在开头段直接亮明自己的观点和看法，相反的是留到结尾段才首次提出Personally, I think the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.

　　主体两段字数比较接近，分别论证双方不同的看法，但是这篇考官范文也明确解答了不少考生的疑惑，就是在讨论双方的时候该以何种姿态来写，赞同还是批判?在此文中考官更推荐的是尽管未在开头段给出自己的观点，但是在论证双方看法时却有明显表露出自己的看法，因为在证明有人认为不公平时，考官除了提出他们的看法外，更是直接用However提出这些看法的错误性Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds So the notion of fairness is not the issue. 而在下一段证明另一方，也是考官赞同的一方时，却并未出现如此的辩驳。

　　由此可以看出，各位考生在回答此类文章时该采取何种姿态。当然我们在考官给出的Cambridge IELTS6 Test4有关改变的题目回答中也能再次得到证明此种回答方式的科学性。

　　考官的观点不像上篇是偏向某一方的，而是认为双方都有可取和不全面的地方，所以在4段论证过程中，考官对主体讨论他人看法时都同样地表达出了他们看法的片面性，出现类似Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing.以及However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that change is always for the better. 最后在结尾段概括自己观点时，考官就给出了一个更为客观全面的观点，认为改变有时是有好处的，但是并不是所有的改变都会有好结果。
