雅思寫作素材（八）：寶貴的時間

When is the better time to learn a foreign language? Should we learn knowledge or go to work at our youth?

今天，給大家看一段關於時間寶貴的一段話，作為寫作中對童年和青少年時期的論證支持。 All time is precious; but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence 我們的生命. For those are the periods when alone we can acquire knowledge and develop our faculties and capacities 才幹與能力. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away 溜走unutilized, we shall never be able to recoup the loss彌補損失. As we grow older, our power of acquisition gets blunted 獲取知識的能力越來越笨拙, so that the art or science which is not acquired in childhood or youth will never be acquired at all. Just as money laid out 投資 at interest doubles and trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will yield us incalculable advantages 產生不可估量的好處. “Every moment you lose,” says Lord

Chesterfield, “is so much character and advantage lost; as on the other hand, every moment you now employ 利用 usefully is so much time wisely laid out at prodigious interest 巨大的利益.”

雅思寫作素材（九）：工作類（跳槽的原因）

下面的這段話裏，將人們跳槽的原因描寫得非常詳細，希望對大家在備考時有所幫助。

A survey by the society for Human Resource Management shows that at any given time, one in three American workers are keeping their eyes peeled for a new job opportunity. Whether it's inside their existing company or in another city or around the world, they are thinking about taking on a new professional challenge. For most people who voluntarily quit, a better pay is the main reason for jumping ship. Other popular reasons for turning in a resignation letter are better opportunities at another company, feeling that there's no room for

professional growth and being bored with the job. So, what should you consider when you are thinking about taking a new job? Experts say if you are dissatisfied with the culture at your current company, you should actively consider a change. Unhappy workers are less likely to contribute all they can. And that means, future growth and raises might be limited. Better

compensation at another job should also be a big consideration. More money means financial security and that leads to higher job satisfaction.

雅思寫作素材（七）：電子書、電子紙V.S傳統書

Now it could mean a revolution for the publishing business. It's been called electronic paper, computer device which can hold 100 books or receive

newspapers downloaded whilst you sit on a train or anywhere else. But instead of a flickering computer screen to give you a headache, the makers claim it's just like reading from normal paper.

Britons have a voracious appetite for words, each year we buy around 300 million

books and every day digest miles and miles of words in 13 million newspapers. Since the time of Gutenberg, all those words have been printed on paper. But it's this device or something like it about to change the way we get our words forever. Farewell to the dog-eared novel, the well-thumbed but out-of-date guidebook and the grubby newspaper. Meet Iliad, the first E-paper device to come to Europe.

It's a whole new technology in screen display. It produces a very stable very clear image; you can read this in bright sunlight. It's a stable display; there is no flicker, so it's completely different to what you would now expect from the computer screen or a PDA.

It's very light weight, so you can carry it around like a regular magazine. And this is incredibly robust, you know, I can just take my shoe and do this to it, and nothing happens to the display. This is just R&D electronics, the real product will look something like this, we will be able to shrink all the electronics into something on the edge of the device, so it will be like a magazine.'

A paper-like device that can store hundreds of novels, update the news while you browse the headlines and weighs less than a paper back, almost certainly has a future. But as long as sand gets stuck between pages and corners are folded to keep your place, new technology isn't going to consign paper to the waste basket.

很多同學碰到作文題目中關於Internet或者Computer Technology，就如碰到了福音一樣，大喜。因為非常熟悉話題，看似有很多內容可以討論。但每次在批改完作文後，發現一個非常嚴重的問題，就是幾乎全班同學的討論觀點和理由都是八九不離十，無非就是方便溝通、搜索信息、快捷便利等，極少能夠有比較獨特的例證。且不説考官會如何評價，光我們幾個老師看着都越來越覺得不是個滋味，很是擔憂學生是否能夠得到比較理想的分數。所以，若想要在寫作中取得好的成績，一定要好好推敲下觀點、理由是否能夠吸引住考官的眼球！ 今天，我們先看其中的一部分，以後逐步增加更多的寫作素材。當然這些內容靈活掌握也可以運用到口語當中的。
