雅思作文范文【第一篇】：电脑游戏好坏

Many people， and children in particular， enjoy playing computer games。 While I accept that these games can sometimes have a positive effect on the user， I believe that they are more likely to have a harmful impact。

On the one hand， video games can be both entertaining and educational。 Users， or gamers， are transported into virtual worlds which are often more exciting and engaging than real-life pastimes。 From an educational perspective， these games encourage imagination and creativity， as well as concentration， logical thinking and problem solving， all of which are useful skills outside the gaming context。 Furthermore， it has been shown that computer simulation games can improve users’ motor skills and help to prepare them for real-world tasks， such as flying a plane。

However， I would argue that these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks。 Gaming can be highly addictive because users are constantly given scores， new targets and frequent rewards to keep them playing。 Many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of a game or to get a higher score than their friends。 This type of addiction can have effects ranging from lack of sleep to problems at school， when homework is sacrificed for a few more hours on the computer or console。 The rise in obesity in recent years has also been linked in part to the sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise that often accompany gaming addiction。

In conclusion， it seems to me that the potential dangers of video games are more significant than the possible benefits。

雅思作文范文【第二篇】：有难度才有兴趣

Some hobbies are relatively easy， while others present more of a challenge。 Personally， I believe that both types of hobby can be fun， and I therefore disagree with the statement that hobbies need to be difficult in order to be enjoyable。

On the one hand， many people enjoy easy hobbies。 One example of an activity that is easy for most people is swimming。 This hobby requires very little equipment， it is simple to learn， and it is inexpensive。 I remember learning to swim at my local swimming pool when I was a child， and it never felt like a demanding or challenging experience。 Another hobby that I find easy and fun is photography。 In my opinion， anyone can take interesting pictures without knowing too much about the technicalities of operating a camera。 Despite being straightforward， taking photos is a satisfying activity。

On the other hand， difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting。 If an activity is more challenging， we might feel a greater sense of satisfaction when we manage to do it successfully。 For example， film editing is a hobby that requires a high level of knowledge and expertise。 In my case， it took me around two years before I became competent at this activity， but now I enjoy it much more than I did when I started。 I believe that many hobbies give us more pleasure when we reach a higher level of performance because the results are better and the feeling of achievement is greater。

In conclusion， simple hobbies can be fun and relaxing， but difficult hobbies can be equally pleasurable for different reasons。

雅思作文范文【第三篇】：广告的危害

In today’s material world， we are inundated with various forms of advertising。 In my view， this can be dangerous as it encourages us to spend without thinking and young people， in particular， need some protection from it。

The first point to make is that advertising does make us spend money we do not need to。 There are nowadays so many different ways companies promote their products and services， ranging from television commercials to simple flyers that we cannot escape it。 If， for example， you watch a football match on television， you will see the logos of the tournament sponsors。 Likewise， if you watch the latest blockbuster movie， very probably you will see a product placed in the film by some advertising agency。 The volume of this advertising means that we， as consumers， tend to be profoundly influenced by it and buy without thinking。

It is not easy to decide how to regulate advertising。 Clearly， governments ought to restrict advertisements for harmful products such as alcohol and tobacco。 They do not have the power， however， to control other forms of advertising。 This means we need to use our common sense when we go to the shops， and ask ourselves whether we really need to make that purchase。 Parents should， however， ensure that young people are protected from too much exposure to advertising。 This can mean simply explaining that it is not in fact necessary to buy the newest Xbox， or simply turning the television off。

My conclusion is that while we cannot escape advertising or its effects in the modern world， children should be encouraged not to pay too much attention to it。

雅思作文范文【第四篇】：中外交流

Globalization is a catch-all term that refers to any activity that involves more than one country， for example， travel from one country to another。 The dramatic increase in transnational travel in recent years has sparked controversy over the potential impacts of this trend on individual countriesf especially those new member states of globalization。 Some people are concerned that the upsurge in new arrivals will prompt local hostility against visitors instead of promoting their understanding on mutual cultural background。 This notion should be rejected as one can see many facts in favor of this development between countries。

The first reason why international travels would never bring conflict is rooted in the fact that both visitors and locals are economically motivated。 International travel opens up opportunities for business development throughout the world。 Entrepreneurs are interested not only in the domestic market but also in the oversea market。 Foreigners should learn the culture of a country before winning over the local people。 In turn， locals should show their hospitality to visitors in exchange for their trust。 They share a view that acceptance of each other's cultural background is a necessary condition for cooperation。

Understanding a culture has other implications。 Differences in social background， cultural values and religious belief might make the discrepancy of foreigners and local inhabitants on some issues indelible； however， the higher interaction， the higher level of communication and understanding。 Arabians， for example， used to consider westerners as their foes。 Now they have concrete relations with their western allies in many fields。 In the initial stage， their divergence seemed inherent but over time， with better mutual understanding， they take the same position on many issues。

Undeniably， it is likely that in some resorts， foreign visitors repel the local community with their scant regard for the local environment and conventions when they first arrive。 However， it should be noted that most offense is accidental， rather than intentional。 Instead， visitors disobey rules and conventions simply because they have no knowledge of them。 This situation is expected to be improved with the passing of time when visitors from different countries increase their knowledge of a local culture。

According to the above analysis， we can observe that the increase in the international travel should not be taken as the cause of any conflict that arises between two countries。 Alternatively， one should recognize its role in improving mutual understanding between two countries。

雅思作文范文【第五篇】：festivals essay

Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of festivals， and that most of us treat them as opportunities to have fun。 While I agree that enjoyment seems to be the priority during festival times， I do not agree that people have forgotten what these festivals mean。

On the one hand， religious and traditional festivals have certainly become times for celebration。 In the UK， Christmas is a good example of a festival period when people are most concerned with shopping， giving and receiving presents， decorating their homes and enjoying traditional meals with their families。 Most people look forward to Christmas as a holiday period， rather than a time to practise religion。 Similar behaviour can be seen during non-religious festivals， such as Bonfire Night。 People associate this occasion with making fires， watching firework displays， and perhaps going to large events in local parks； in other words， enjoyment is people’s primary goal。

However， I disagree with the idea that the underlying meaning of such festivals has been forgotten。 In UK primary schools， children learn in detail about the religious reasons for celebrating Christmas， Easter and a variety of festivals in other religions。 For example， in late December， children sing Christmas songs which have a religious content， and they may even perform nativity plays telling the story of Jesus’ birth。 Families also play a role in passing knowledge of religious festivals’ deeper significance on to the next generation。 The same is true for festivals that have a historical background， such as Bonfire Night or Halloween， in the sense that people generally learn the stories behind these occasions at an early age。

In conclusion， although people mainly want to enjoy themselves during festivals， I believe that they are still aware of the reasons for these celebrations。
