新概念在手，素材莫要愁！

很多夥伴苦於沒有資料積累地道的雅思寫作素材，亦或是知道素材在哪裡，卻因懶癌晚期，不能"自（整）理（合）"；其實市面上也有很多關於雅思寫作地道表達的書籍，但是原創的內容到底有多少呢，不知道各位是否想過這個問題，反正我是思考了...答案.....作為雅思寫作的地方諸侯（裝逼了），分享一下自己積累雅思寫作素材的兩大來源：一是經典教材新概念英語三、四冊；二是暢銷英語雜誌《經濟學人》。我也會定期結合雅思考試真題，從這兩個維度給大家講解，希望對正在備考雅思寫作或英文學習的夥伴有幫助！

2018.3.10 雅思寫作真題：Newspaper is the best way to get latest information because it has more influence than other forms of media. To what extend do you agree or disgree? 報紙是獲得最新信息的最好方式，因為它比其他形式的媒體有更多的影響力，你同意嗎?

我們的立場通常會是：報紙確實能夠有效地獲取消息，但是其他媒體的傳播速度可能要更快一些，比如說社交媒體( facebook,twitter and Quora). 題目可以有效的與新概念英語三Lesson45 The power of press 新聞報道的威力 結合起來，因為Newspaper屬於一種新聞傳播的媒介。

段落一

In democratic countries any efforts to restrict the freedom of the press are rightly condemned. However, this freedom can easily be abused. Stories about people often attractfar more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful whether we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves.Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers exert suchtremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.

1.In democratic countries 地點狀語和主句主語之間可以不用加逗號

2.Any efforts to.. are rightly condemned / appreciated...某種行為受到譴責/讚揚

造句1: In democratic countries any efforts to expoit employees are rightly condemned. 在民主國家，如果有人剝削員工，都會受到譴責。

造句2:In many countries any efforts to recall deficient products are rightly appreciated.

3.sacred [?sekr?d] 神聖的 Acting on the contention that facts are sacred 按照事實至上的論點行事

4.新聞媒體的弊端1：cause untold suffering to individuals by pubilishing details about peoples private lives. 發表有關別人生活的細節，有時會給當事人造成極大的痛苦。

5.新聞媒體的弊端2：Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government. 不僅可以給尋常人家的生活帶來重大的變化，甚至還能推翻一個政府。

我們完全可以寫這樣一個觀點：報紙確實是獲取信息的一種有效途徑，但是相比其他方式：如手機、社交網路平台等途徑還是要慢一些；同時，通過報紙獲取信息所帶來的問題也是不能忽視的，比如說上面的4和5。

Indeed,newspaper is one of the most effective ways to access the latest information,however, it is still not as fast as other kinds of social medias such as Facebook,twitter and Linkin,etc. Meanwhile, newspapers may cause untold sufferring to individuals by pubilishing details about peoples private lives and exert tremendouss influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.

段落二（省略原文）

1.acquire fame and fortune overnight 一夜間聲名鵲起

2.As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty.全家人常年在貧困中掙扎（體會這句話中的語法結構的完整性，如果去掉as引導的原因狀語從句，從語言的角度來說沒有錯誤，但是邏輯卻不夠完整）

3. faced with even more pressing economic problems 面臨著更為嚴峻的經濟問題。我們可以運用到雅思寫作Crime類題型中，比如說：社會犯罪率上升的原因之一 ：As most of people are faced with pressing economic problems，they have to steal money or food to support themselves, which leads to committing a crime.

4.the parents of quintuplets [kw?ntju:plets] 五胞胎

段落三（省略原文）

1.The rise to fame was swift. 迅速出了名

2.Newspapers and magazines offered the family huge sums for the exclusive rights to publish stories and photographs.報紙、雜誌出高價向他們購買文字、圖片的獨家報道權

3.原文句子：Gifts poured in not only from unknown people, but from baby food and soap manufacturers who wished to advertise their products.這個短語我們可以改寫成新聞媒體的好處：Newspapers and social networking sites may be the most effective ways for companies to advertise their products.

4.原文句子：They had become the victims of commercialization, for their names had acquired a market value. 我們可以改寫成廣告的壞處：A great many people have become the victims of advertisements，for the quality of a product is not compliant with their exquisite description on TV or billboards.

此刻是北京時間23:34，其實我也沒想到能堅持每天晚上推送，可能是一份熱愛、也可能是一份責任、也可能是寫作路上的一份堅持！熱愛和責任未必能伴你走一生，堅持卻可以伴你一生，到達那個叫夢想的地方！最後給大家推薦一個TED視頻，講的恰好就是毅力Grit，希望對各位有所啟發！
