拆解10月8日雅思写作新题

　　十一长假，咻的一下，转瞬即逝。想必是很多烤鸭朋友也是身心俱疲的一个阶段。加上，北方的确阴雨不断，凉风起，秋意浓啊。不曾想，十月八号的写作考试却给了大家一个惊喜。大部分烤鸭面对此考题都会有似曾相识的感觉。事实的确如此，这是一个没有任何新意，三番五次出来抚慰各位烤鸭脆弱心灵的一个常规老题。

　　题目如下：

　　Some people think that libraries are waste of money, and computer technology is replacing functions of libraries. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （20161008）

　　类似的题目在考试题库之中算是常客，例如由于网络技术的发展，是不是博物馆就没有存在的必要了?等等。相信针对此题，很多烤鸭还是会力挺图书馆的，而且也不难找出相关的支持观点。我非常愿意相信，这样的烤鸭们都是每天泡在图书馆的学员们。本文，笔者从另一个角度执笔，言之凿凿地告诉大家，图书馆要完了。

　　Tremendous changes are being brought by utilization of Internet technology in people’s lives, no matter whether people can be used to these variations or not. Majority of traditional parts of people’s lifestyle is being washed out step by step reluctantly or willingly. Libraries are doomed to disappear, inasmuch as main functions of libraries can be replaced by the advancement of related Internet technology.

　　本段还是中规中矩的开头段，只不过用了两句的篇幅来强调背景。本段第三局即点明题目，也清晰表达了笔者的观点，一举两得。

　　For one thing, in the past time, libraries used to be institutes where people collected and analyzed information, and governments funded them with providing money for maintaining buildings and paying for staffs. Electronic libraries that do not require a real building at all can be run well with fairly less human power, and are able to offer extremely more extensive information than conventional ones. An enabled account makes users get an easy access to uncountable resources from all the world rather than just thousands of books that physical libraries can offer. Thereby, by no means can governments persuade tax payers that their taxation ought to be used to build huge buildings to keep books.

　　本段从逻辑上强调图书馆的一个主要功能是收集和分析资料。随后，笔者强调一个依托网络技术的图书馆无论从人员使用还是场地建设上都完胜传统的图书馆模式。因此，政府再调集资金建设图书馆就显得劳民伤财了。

　　For another, some people still make a fetish of libraries as libraries, from their perspective, establish an atmosphere for reading via offering people places and chances of enjoying books. Most of those people must foster their reading hobby there, and thus they cannot stand libraries’ extinction in societies. Notwithstanding, electronic readers make it possible that people can read books whenever and wherever they want. With Internet connection, people are able to read millions of books by a small e-book reader as big as a smart phone. Getting an e-book reader out of people’s pocket, they can read no matter where they really are. Going to libraries for reading does not make any sense in this digital era.

　　本段从另外一个观点出发。首先强调图书馆给公众一个读书的环境和场地。随后申明，电子阅读已经把读书的场地延伸到生活中的任何地点。买个电子书，想哪里读书就哪里读书。

　　Something comes and something leaves, and that is how our societies move on. Libraries’ dying out does not deprive people of reading, since high-tech makes reading easier and more convenient like what it always does to our lifestyle, and however libraries’ disappearance does ease governments’ financial burdens to some extent.

　　结尾段，笔者总结了自己的观点，即是传统图书馆的消失不意味着人们阅读习惯的消失，而只是新技术对人们阅读习惯的更新，就像新技术不断地在更新我们生活的方方面面一样。
