雅思寫作媒體類話題有哪些？
1.新聞與媒體
母題：News media is more influential nowadays. Some people think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (090822)
提示：之所以選擇這道題目做母題是因?yàn)樗w的范圍最廣，可以寫報(bào)紙、電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)。圍繞這些媒體的好處和壞處寫一篇文章，順便思考一下下面的幾道子題，那么這部分的話題就可以搞定了。
子題：報(bào)紙要比其它媒體更有影響力，你同意嗎？網(wǎng)上的信息不準(zhǔn)確，你同意嗎？我們是否應(yīng)該相信記者，一個(gè)合格的記者應(yīng)當(dāng)具備什么樣的品質(zhì)？

細(xì)致的分析了后發(fā)現(xiàn)，雅思寫作媒體類考題有著很強(qiáng)的規(guī)律性。只要我們掌握了媒體類作文四種核心?？冀嵌龋覀兙湍軌蜢`活應(yīng)對(duì)絕大部分的媒體類題目，正所謂，用四招輕松化解雅思媒體類作文。
媒體類作文不同主體的話題規(guī)律
第一招：化解以電視為主體的媒體類作文
電視類雖然話題數(shù)量繁多，但是，無論，題干具體內(nèi)容如何變化，其話題的核心含義都是針對(duì)著"電視作為新興教育媒體同一些傳統(tǒng)的教育方式(比如，讀書，父母教育，學(xué)校教育)之間的矛盾"這一角度展開的。比如：題干中說，孩子能夠通過電視進(jìn)行有效的學(xué)習(xí)，是否應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)孩子在學(xué)校和家庭經(jīng)常看電視?相比于看電視，人們可以通過讀書可以更好地培養(yǎng)想象力和思考能力，你是否同意?孩子花在看電視上的時(shí)間越來越多，從事創(chuàng)造性的時(shí)間逐漸減少的原因是什么?我們應(yīng)該怎么辦?有人認(rèn)為家長(zhǎng)應(yīng)該給孩子讀故事，有人則認(rèn)為，孩子可以通過看電視，網(wǎng)絡(luò)等一系列渠道進(jìn)行閱讀，你是否同意?
這些題目雖然形式不一，但是核心都在于：對(duì)電視的教育意義的質(zhì)疑。所以，對(duì)于這類電視類媒體作文，我們只需要弄清楚這樣一個(gè)問題，那就是，電視是否真的具有能夠抗衡書籍，課堂教育，父母教育等其他傳統(tǒng)教育方式的教育作用就可以了。
希望下面的例子可以在大家構(gòu)思論據(jù)的時(shí)候提供一些思路：
沉迷電視的壞處：
1)看電視的過程中是單純的信息接受，相比于讀書這種需要高度集中和思索的工作來說，容易造成孩子抽象思維的缺失(short of abstract thinking).
2)過度沉迷于電視，容易造成孩子社交活動(dòng)和體育活動(dòng)的減少(isolate children from physical and social activities),使得他們對(duì)真實(shí)的世界越發(fā)冷淡失去興趣(make them indifferent to the real world).不關(guān)心周圍的事情(rarely concerned about the people and the matters around them)同他人的互動(dòng)減少(it leads to a drop in their interaction with others)
3)長(zhǎng)期看電視會(huì)同時(shí)會(huì)損傷視力(impair vision)，電視的輻射(radiation)會(huì)損傷孩子的身體健康(damage health)。
看電視的益處：
1)可以為孩子們創(chuàng)造一個(gè)從繁重的學(xué)業(yè)壓力中休息的機(jī)會(huì)(provide an escape for children who experience high levels of pressure in the daytime)使他們達(dá)到勞逸結(jié)合(strike a balance between entertainment and academic activities)
第二招和第三招：化解以新聞和廣告為主體的媒體類作文
新聞?lì)惖膬纱慰碱}雖然措施稍有差別，但是內(nèi)容全部是關(guān)于這樣一個(gè)話題：當(dāng)今世界，報(bào)紙對(duì)人們的日常生活，尤其是對(duì)人們的想法的影響力越來越大，這是否是一個(gè)積極的影響?廣告類蜻蜓點(diǎn)水出現(xiàn)的那一次是關(guān)于廣告是否有用：人們根據(jù)產(chǎn)品是否能夠滿足自己的需要來選擇是否購(gòu)買，那么從此種角度來說，廣告是不是只是一種不必要的娛樂形式?所以，針對(duì)新聞?lì)惡蛷V告類，我們只需要著重準(zhǔn)備這兩個(gè)角度就可以了。針對(duì)新聞?lì)惖慕嵌鹊恼摀?jù)構(gòu)思，大家可以從國(guó)家和團(tuán)體的凝聚力角度來說，著重從這個(gè)角度來渲染輿論的積極力量。比如在災(zāi)害發(fā)生，新聞的高度傳播性可以使得人們迅速的采取行動(dòng)。同時(shí)，在日常生活中，新聞可以使得人們?cè)诘谝粫r(shí)間了解到世界各個(gè)角落正在發(fā)生的事情，達(dá)到消息的高度透明化。
關(guān)于廣告為主體的角度論據(jù)，希望下面的例子可以給大家?guī)硪恍┧悸罚?/p>
廣告的優(yōu)勢(shì)：
1)廣告是消費(fèi)者和生產(chǎn)商之間的橋梁(bridge the gap between consumers and manufacturers).傳播市場(chǎng)信息，(disseminate market information),介紹新產(chǎn)品(inform consumers of new products)讓消費(fèi)者選擇適合自己的商品。(enable a more qualitative choice between products to consumers)
2)廣告作為一個(gè)信息傳播平臺(tái)，能夠刺激生產(chǎn)商在質(zhì)量上進(jìn)行競(jìng)爭(zhēng)(encourage competition in quality)鼓勵(lì)產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新(encourage product innovation),而且豐富消費(fèi)者生活(enrich their lives)
3)廣告刺激消費(fèi)，促進(jìn)產(chǎn)品銷售量(enable greater volume to be sold)，促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展(promote economic development)
廣告的弊端：
1)廣告很少提供產(chǎn)品的所有信息 (hardly provide full disclosure of product characteristics), 濫用消費(fèi)者的信任 (abuse the consumers' trust), 利用他們?nèi)鄙俳?jīng)驗(yàn)或者知識(shí)的缺點(diǎn)(exploit their lack of experience or knowledge), 去誘導(dǎo)他們購(gòu)買對(duì)自己無用的產(chǎn)品 (manipulate them)
第四招：化解以電腦為主體的媒體類作文
電腦類的網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)類考察核心非常一致，那就是，網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)是否能夠取代傳統(tǒng)的教學(xué)方式?其中，如果題干中的主體為people，則相對(duì)應(yīng)的傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)方式一定是attending university or college。若題干中的主體為children，則相對(duì)應(yīng)的傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)方式就是study at school with teachers. 電腦類的電腦游戲則是網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)類和電視類的結(jié)合，將這二者的論據(jù)進(jìn)行刪改和疊加就可以輕松應(yīng)對(duì)。需要指出的是，媒體類和教育類的話題有著很多重合，彼此之間可以互相借鑒許多思路。
希望下面的論據(jù)可以為大家構(gòu)思"網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)"類題目時(shí)候提供一點(diǎn)思路。
網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)的弊端：
1)一大缺點(diǎn)：缺乏靈活性 (lack of flexibility)，由于電腦有程序上的限制(programmatic limitations). 教學(xué)模式化的(standardized)無法滿足學(xué)生的具體需要(incompatible with the specific needs of a student)
one of the major drawbacks of computer is lack of flexibility. Due to its programmatic restraints, its teaching is standardized and therefore incompatible with the specific needs of a student.
2)電腦和學(xué)生缺乏互動(dòng)(lack of interaction),不能夠滿足學(xué)生的情感需求(fill student's emotional needs)
Owning to the lack of interaction, distance-learning can hardly fill students' emotional needs.
3)長(zhǎng)期盯著屏幕有傷視力 ( impair vision); 有害身體健康(damage students health)
Long-time exposure to the computer would impair vision and damage students' health.
網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)的優(yōu)勢(shì)：
1) 可以作為教育輔助(teaching aid)，電腦起著重要的作用。協(xié)助教師用多種途徑展現(xiàn)教育資料(present educational materials in various ways)，同時(shí)為學(xué)生提供重復(fù)性的練習(xí)(repetitive drills)鞏固學(xué)習(xí)成果。
所以，如果想將媒體類話題進(jìn)行全面的準(zhǔn)備，只需要弄清四個(gè)話題就可以了，第一個(gè)和第二個(gè)是，針對(duì)其中最大的一個(gè)話題主體(電視)和第二大話題主體(電腦)的考察核心：也就是電視是否具有能夠抗衡書籍，課堂教育，父母教育等其他教育方式的教育作用?網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)是否能夠取代傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)方式(這里面同時(shí)注意一下不同人群的差異性)?第三個(gè)，就是針對(duì)第三大主體(報(bào)紙)：報(bào)紙?jiān)谌藗內(nèi)粘Ｉ钪杏绕涫侨藗兊乃枷雽用嬗绊懥υ絹碓酱?，這是一種積極的還是消極的趨勢(shì)?第四個(gè)針對(duì)廣告：人們跟據(jù)產(chǎn)品能夠滿足自己的需要來選擇是否購(gòu)買，那么從此種角度來說，廣告是否只是一種不必要的娛樂形式?
媒體類作文雖然看上去繁雜，但是經(jīng)過了分析之后，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，只要掌握四點(diǎn)，就可以將其收入囊中。
媒體類話題雅思寫作范文：
1.The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this issue? 政府應(yīng)該控制電影電視上暴力鏡頭的數(shù)量，為了減少社會(huì)暴力犯罪。你在多大程度上同意或不同意這個(gè)問題?
思路解析：
應(yīng)該控制1：暴力電影和鏡頭是精神毒藥。它們包含太多的刺激的，煽動(dòng)性的情結(jié)，這讓觀眾變得富有攻擊性。
應(yīng)該控制2：暴力電影中的電影明星樹立了負(fù)面榜樣，他們給年輕人傳達(dá)了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的觀念，即暴力是一種合適的方式來解決一切社會(huì)問題，這在年輕人中培養(yǎng)了一種對(duì)于犯罪的崇拜。 不應(yīng)該控制：暴力鏡頭本身就能反應(yīng)社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)，這是對(duì)于人們的一種教育，也讓他們對(duì)于可能在身邊出現(xiàn)的暴力進(jìn)行防范。
參考范文：
Nowadays, many people argue that the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television, in order to reduce social crimes. In my view, this assertion is partially wise, and my reasons would be explored as below.
Admittedly, there are many good reasons for controlling the amount of violence in films and on television. First, violent films and television are mental poisons for the audience It is because they contains numerous of erotic, corrupt and provoking episode, with long exposure to which, viewers might become aggressive and eccentric. In addition, violence contents set negative role models for young viewers, especially the youth.
Activities like fighting, shooting or killing done by movie stars send teenagers a wrong message that violence is an effective or even essential solution to all troubles. Therefore, these youngsters with immature minds begin to admire violence and disrespect social rules, which leads to the increasing of the juvenile delinquents. According to the analysis above, it is clear that the measure of limiting violent information on media should be encouraged, for the reason that it can directly cut off the access to those illegal and evil behaviors and thoughts, thus keeping people from imitating them.
Advocates claim that the practice of controlling the amount of violence in mass media is a brazen violation of the people's basic right to know the truth of the world. For example, some films contain some violence, but they reflect the things happened around us. Rather than producing negative effects on audience, to some extent, these films educate them. Furthermore, violence in films or on television programs cultivates people's senses of crisis and responsibility, which makes ordinary people and police work better for public security. Consequently, it is irresponsible and foolish to blame the media for violence in our society.
As far as I am concern, I strongly believe that the amount of violence in films and TV should be controlled. At the same time, we cannot deny the advantages brought by them. And the best policy is to develop the merits of the violent films and television, while grading and filtering them.
2.News media have become influential to our lives, and some people think that is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 新聞媒體對(duì)我們的生活產(chǎn)生影響，有人認(rèn)為這是一種消極的發(fā)展。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
思路解析：
1.負(fù)面影響：以新聞為主的生活方式會(huì)讓人們筋疲力盡。舉例，報(bào)紙和電視吸取了人們所有的關(guān)注，這讓人們無法關(guān)注自己的事情，也缺乏時(shí)間來維持家庭關(guān)系。
2.負(fù)面影響：負(fù)面新聞會(huì)引發(fā)社會(huì)不安。舉例，很多謠言，關(guān)于社會(huì)傳染病，或是很多逃犯的信息，會(huì)讓人們生活在恐懼中。
3.負(fù)面影響：媒體是洗腦工具。舉例，處于政治目的，很多新聞媒體會(huì)對(duì)某些進(jìn)行毫無根據(jù)的攻擊和抹黑。這會(huì)誤導(dǎo)投票人的判斷和立場(chǎng)。
4.正面影響：新聞媒體能提供有用的信息，建議和指導(dǎo)。舉例，天氣預(yù)報(bào)和交通堵塞的信息能幫助人們制定合適的出行計(jì)劃和路線。
參考范文：
Nowadays, the expanding influence of news media on the society has been a heated social issue in debate. Some believe this trend is negative because the media controls minds of the public. Personally, I partially agree with this view, and my reasons will be explored as below.
The most worrying aspect of new media is that it overwhelms people’s daily lives. Actually, our lives of today are news-oriented, because of the 24-hour nonstop news cycles on TV, radio and Internet. Under such news bombardment, the information overload takes place, which means people’s attentions and minds have to be glued to focusing on and interpreting endless news, comments, gossips and rumors, necessary and unnecessary, no matter where they are, in workplaces, schools, buses or homes. As a result, news media is a huge distraction, which makes people exhausted and reduces their concentration and energy on their tasks or families.
Another big concern of news media is about its roles in manipulating people’s thoughts. Psychologically speaking, watching news media is a strong process of washing brain, in which the personal judgments of individual viewers might be removed and replaced with the media-established ideas. For example, for the purpose of politics, many influential newspapers, TV programs and online websites disclose the foibles of privacy, and even deliberately fabricate false rumors, scandals to diminish some political candidates in an election. Obviously, the cheatings and lies on news media are detrimental to the social equity and democracy, because they keep voters from thinking freely and independently.
However, the positive impact news media bring to our lives can never be ignored. In fact, the exposure to these news and reports can give the audience valuable messages and suggestions in day-to-day life. For example, the information about forecasts of weather and traffic situations in rush hours on regional newspapers or radio channels can instruct local residents to make proper schedules, plans and routers for travelling outside. In addition, reports about pressing social problems like epidemics, natural disasters, violence and crimes in streets also help to arouse the public’s awareness of the importance of improving education and health care systems, as well as the necessity of saving environment.
In conclusion, the demerits caused by news media override its benefits for the public. Although it can provide useful and practical information to the audience, it influences people in more negative ways, including an unbalanced life due to addiction in news, as well as the misunderstanding about social issues.
