雅思写作语言素材积累：教育类
Some people think painting and drawings are as important as other subjects, they should be compulsory in high school education. 中学是否应该将绘画课程列入必修课?
薛鹏点评：本题语料库要谈及艺术对于高中生的利好，小鹏哥预测科技类话题博物馆和美术馆不再重要，因为人们可以在网络电视中欣赏艺术展品，是否认同?语料库融会贯通。
作家立场：支持中学将艺术课程列入必修课
薛鹏思路拓展：
支持的理由：
1.绘画艺术可以陶冶人的情操，培养人的艺术修养，加深人对艺术的洞察。很多父母们喜欢带孩子们去艺术馆和美术馆，就是为了培养孩子们的艺术天赋，激发他们对于艺术的热爱，因此，中学应该推广艺术课程，例如绘画。
2.高中生学习压力大，以择业为导向的课程通常比较无聊，艺术课是有效的一种帮助学生放松身心的方式。因此，推广艺术课程使人精力充沛地应对学业的挑战。
3.教育的目的是帮助人实现全面的发展，不仅仅是涉及到学术教育，还应该有文体特长的培养，推广艺术课程使人变得多才多艺，充满自信，生活乐观。
反驳的理由：
1.艺术课程耽误主要课程的学习，浪费宝贵的时间。
2.艺术课程与未来的就业无关，因此，没有学习的价值。
薛鹏原创范文赏析：
首段：背景介绍 + 作家立场
This debate reminds me a story，a group of Chinese students visited America，during the process of communication activity，American students invited Chinese peers to play musical instrument together，yet，what a pity is that almost nobody is well-versed in art performance .Virtually，many educators and parents have been pondering，for years，the connotation of perfect education. As I see it，only imparting career-oriented knowledge leaves much to be desired，therefore， it is of necessity to include painting and drawings as compulsory part of high school curriculum.
薛鹏点评：故事引导，自然开篇，摒弃模板，亮明观点。
薛鹏解析：
1.Nobody is well-versed in art performance 没有人精通于艺术表演
2.have been pondering，for years， the connotation of perfect education 多年来一直在思考理想教育的内涵
3.Only imparting career-oriented knowledge leaves much to be desired 仅仅教授以择业为导向的课程远非令人满意。
二段：论据展开支持中学开设艺术课程
I first turn to the chief aim of education to justify my viewpoint. An ideal education should entail helping youngsters realize comprehensive development and cultivating their manifold talents. Academic education is important，however，art-related courses are equally indispensable because the popularity of art courses could，to large extent， mould one’s temperament，enhance one’s art accomplishment，instill confidence into one’s heart. Also，a number of students are now over-burdened with exam-oriented and exercise-stuffed education，they，sometimes，feel fed up with school life，thereby，studying art course can be considered as an effective stress-reducer, which helps students to brave academic challenges energetically. Last, knowledge is not a burden, a man of many parts should never confine himself to job-related knowledge. Instead, one is expected to become more versatile via developing various capabilities.

三段：提及反方观点 + 加以反驳
Some others might take a skeptical attitude towards my stand. Those who believe that it is probably a hasty decision to introduce pairings or drawings to the curriculum of school education might argue that this practice is more likely to interfere with students' study of main courses and occupy a lot of precious time. Meanwhile，some people might contend that art-related courses bear little relevance to one’s future job-seeking. What I want to refute，however，is that this utilitarian mentality will inevitably hinder one’s all-round development and deprive students of enjoyment brought about by art learning.
薛鹏解析：
1.This practice is more likely to interfere with students' study of main courses 这种做法会耽误主要课程的学习
2.Art-related courses bear little relevance to one’s future job-seeking 艺术相关的课程和未来的就业关系不大
3.This utilitarian mentality will inevitably hinder one’s all-round development 功利主义的心态无疑阻碍人的全面发展
4.deprive students of enjoyment brought about by art learning.剥夺了学生们由艺术学习带来的快乐
尾段：再次亮明观点
To conclude, the introduction of art-related courses into high school education enjoys glaring merits to tap the students' many capabilities, hence, I re-affirm my conviction that it is advisable and feasible to encourage those who in the formative years to acquire paintings and drawings.
薛鹏解析：
1.enjoys unique merits to 有明显的利好
2.it is advisable and feasible to 做…… 是明智的可取的
3.those who in the formative years 成长中的年轻人
