备考雅思写作考试,考生除了掌握写作技巧之外,还可以多多了解雅思真题回忆。下面,我们一起来看2015年7月11日雅思写作真题回忆及答案解析吧,希望大家看后对自己有所帮助。
Task 1 线图
The graph shows the number of overseas visitors to three different areas in a European country between 1987 and 2007.
分析:线图就肯定是动态图,线多就要归类,线少又独具特征就分别描述。这张图表中只有三条线,而且每条线的趋势各不相同,所以我们需要一一描述每条线的变化,并在必要时候做比较。要注意的是,雅思写作归根到底是语言能力的测试,烤鸭们在描述图表时一定要有意识地突显自己的词汇和语法水平。
Sample answer
The line graph illustrates the changes in the number of foreigners who visited three different areas in a particular European country from 1987 to 2007.
In 1987, the coast was the most popular tourist spot, with 40 thousand
people visiting it The mountains attracted 20 thousand visitors, which was twice the figure for the lakes.
During this 20-year period, the number of visitors to the coast showed an upward trend, rising to 75 thousand, although it dipped to 35 thousand in 1992. There was a steady increase to 35 thousand from the year 1999 in the figure for the mountains, despite some initial fluctuations.
As to the figure for the lakes, it overtook that for the mountains in 1992. It continued to increase markedly and peaked at 75 thousand in 2002, after which it experienced a rapid decline of 25 thousand.
Overall, the popularity of these three different areas grew in this period, while the figure for the mountain areas witnessed a quick drop in the last five years.
Task 2
题目类别 广告 提问方式 观点类
考试题目
Advertising discourages us from being different individuals by making
them want to be or to look the same. Do you agree or disagree?
老题
大作文首先一定要搞明白题目的意思,做好Task response。如何做好Task response 呢?看题目关键词,discourage, different, want to be, look the same围绕着这些词来思考论点。这个题目没有问你广告的优点or缺点,所以 干万不要去写这些,有些同学很兴奋,看到考前看到过的题目,但是没有逐字逐句去挖掘题目的深意,很容易跑题。
观点类的话题,往往只有一个人的观点,它不像discussion类型,把两方观点都清楚告诉你了,所以你还需要做的一件事情是:想想其他人会怎么看,比如: 我一拿到这个题目:我会站在disagree的立场,我觉得广告不会让我跟别人看起来一样呀!接下来,我也要想想,会不会真的有些人被广告引导去买跟人家一 样的东西呢?如果你做到了这一步,恭喜你,你用了批判性的方式思考了这个题目,这就是辩论当中常说的"心中常存对方辩友"。这道题目对方辩友可能会说,哦,你这个广告做的那么好,大家看了以后都会去买,然后大家都看起来一样了。但你可以退一步说:"不会啊,就算大家可能都会去买iPhone , 但是这不是不广告的过错,消费者不是傻瓜,他们往往是去了湖滨银泰苹果旗舰店体验了一把后,知道苹果的东西用起来很爽,才愿意买。"

It is said that advertising is so influential that it persuade people to become similar with each other. I believe this statement is a bit overstated.
First of all, it is unfair to blame advertisements for the popularity of some certain products amongst consumers. For example, using iPhone and
other electric devices has become increasingly popular throughout the world, especially in China. What are the reasons? I think it is because of its good selling points and designs instead of the commercials. While some might counter that some target consumers are vulnerable, such as children and teenagers, and they might be persuaded to purchase similar items, I believe it seldom happens since these days young people are longing for distinctive appearance and individuality.
Secondly, it is truly less likely for consumers to make similar choices with the help of commercials. By viewing a variety of advertisements broadcasted on TV or billboard, people are informed of different choices in terms of prices, designs and patterns. They might fine-tune their demand first, comparing the products available on the market and making wise decisions that satisfy themselves in the end. By contrast, without the advertisement, consumers have no access to discover their real needs and find the better choice, which might lead to uniformity in purchasing decisions.
In conclusion, it is the quality of goods rather than their advertisements that attracts consumers. As there are so many kinds of commercials, customers have a wide range of selections, making them become different rather than identical.
