【陆哲说】大作文奇葩题目解析 （一）

     在之前的文章《2022雅思写作奇葩题目大赏》中，我们做了个简单的投票。果不其然，“理想国”这个题目荣登榜首，成为很多考生最摸不着头脑的题目。所以，我写了一篇例文和各位一起解析一下。题目如下：

    Throughout the history, people dream of living in a perfect society, while they have not agreed on how the ideal society would be like. What do you think the most important

element of a perfect society is in the modern world? How can people achieve an ideal society? 20221224

首先，这道题是12月24日的考题。在正面这道考题之前，我们先来看看我11月预测班里面的一个题目。具体如下：

Nowadays, the gap between the rich and the poor is becoming wider in some countries of the world. What problems can this situation cause? What solutions should be taken?

乍看上去，这道题目和理想国这个考题毫无联系，但事实真的如此吗？我们接着往下看。在预测班的讲义中，我列出了本题的相关素材，如下表。

　　正如我在预测班所讲，这个表格先从三个角度(审题角度，论点角度，词汇角度)给大家提供了基本的解题思路和素材。在表格的最后，我特意强调了要灵活应用素材，同类话题的题目中，素材都可以平移。而这道理想国的题目就可以从这个表格中平移大量的素材。

　　其实，并非这个贫富差距的题目，其实理想国一题覆盖范围非常广泛，所以它几乎可以从任何社会类题目的素材中平移写作材料，例如环境类，性别平等类，老龄化等等。这也就是这道题目是简单题目而不是难度题目的原因。各位考生一定要注意的是，越是看起来比较抽象覆盖面广泛的题目，实则越是简单。因为考官根本不期待我们头头是道地阐述所有想法，而只需要我们把自己最熟悉的领域写清楚即可。

　　下面例文，就是我参考了这个素材表格之后所写的例文，供大家参考。

　　In this contemporary world, building up an ideal society has always been an ultimate goal for most countries. However, what it is like and in what way we can achieve it are still under

heated discussion.

　　非常简单明了的开头段。从背景引出点题，可谓是开头段最基础也最普遍的写法了。

　　For one thing, in many regions of the world, the increasingly obvious gap between the rich and the poor is the culprit tearing our societies apart and consequently causing a large

number of social problems. For example, some disadvantaged groups are unable to access high-quality medical resources unlike the privileged who can pay for high-end private medical

care. Meanwhile, some children from low-income families can only go to public schools, and their peers who were born with silver spoon in their mouths can study in exclusive schools,

which admittedly provide more opportunities for them to become successful in their future life. This implies that the equal distribution of wealth and social resources is the cornerstone of

the world where all people can live their lives with satisfaction.

　　仔细研读此段不难发现，其实从论点到论据用到的都是之前表格的素材。构建完美社会的基石就是财富和社会资源的平均分配。如果大家对于平均分配一词不能接受，修改为“合理”分配也可以。其实这就是抹平贫富差距，主体思路都是来自于之前的素材表格。

　　For another, in order to reach “the utopia”, governments are expected to make policies to guarantee that people from all classes can share good-quality social resources, such as a

public school with abundant courses and experienced teachers, a public hospital without a long waiting list, and traffic infrastructure facilitating everyone’s daily commuting greatly.

Hence, authorities have to spend their funds more reasonably and scientifically. Meanwhile, policies on taxation also need to be upgraded for bridging the gap between the rich and the

poor. To be specific, income tax rate on families living on the breadline can be reduced to enable them to possess more freedom monetarily, and the rate can increase for upper class

households, so that they would contribute more to build up a better society.

　　本段给出了一些构建理想社会的方法，其实也就是消除贫富差距的方法而已。因此整体思路仍然来自于之前的素材表格。

　　In conclusion, eliminating the disparity of people in various levels of social status is the ark for us to the pure land. In the meantime, related policies governments ought to enact are

the oars.

　　这类双问报告型的题目在结尾段并无任何的立场需要表达，所以简单地总结前文即可。

　　由此一来，大家读完例文后不难看出，活用素材之后，本题的思路就分分钟清晰明朗了。
