  2022年2月12日雅思大作文題目

  In some countries, old people who retire from work spend the money on themselves (e.g. holiday) rather than save money for their children. Is it a positive or negative development?

  高分范文及解析

  Introduction

  Nowadays, an increasing number of retirees opt to allocate their savings to bettering the quality of life instead of putting aside money for their offspring. Personally, this trend is generally advantageous.

  解析

  農歷新年后的第一場考試，就迎來了新題。話題也很有意思，聯系現實，會發現討論的話題就是時代更迭帶來的觀念碰撞。注意：老人花錢在自己身上，題干里還進行了提示“holiday”，相當于暗示錢是花在“提高生活質量”上，未防止走題，建議順著“holiday”這個舉例的思路走，不要強調把錢花在“剛需”上，比如醫療，也不要提“減輕年輕人贍養老人的壓力”。

  ? retiree n. 退休者

  ? put aside v. 省下,儲存;留出

  Body 1

  In some parts of the world, it is a traditional convention that pensioners should set aside money for their children, which indicates that the aforementioned trend may bring certain losses. The most evident one is that such practice will to some extent exert a negative impact on the cohesion and connections between the young and the old. To illustrate, the vast majority of younger generations are struggling with the surging living pressure, and the savings of the old can alleviate such burden, tackle some family financial crisis popping up, and even guarantee the later generations a better living condition. In contrast, spending money for pensioners’ own benefit may trigger their children’s dissatisfaction and grumbles under some circumstances. However, this is not always the case.

  解析

  給家庭關系帶來負面影響：[對比論證] 年輕人面臨大壓力：錢留給年輕人可以緩解壓力，應對突發的家庭財政危機，甚至給后幾代都提供更好的物質基礎;而老人自己花錢，不對子女伸以援手，則可能引起子女不滿。

  ? pensioner n. 領取養老金[退休金]的人

  ? set aside v. 留出,撥出(時間、金錢等)

  ? exert vt. 運用[權力]; 施加[影響力]

  ? cohesion and connections n. 凝聚力和人際關系

  ? alleviate vt. 緩解

  ? pop up vi. 突然發生

  ? trigger vt. 觸發，引發

  ? grumble n.[C] 抱怨

  Body 2

  As a matter of fact, more old age pensioners spend money on themselves, such as travelling, and behind this phenomenon are more gains. The first one is about safeguarding the right of the old to make their own decisions. What usually occurs in reality is that old parents are pressurised under traditional conventions to be children-centred and to put their offspring’s benefit onto the top agenda. This is actually not fair to the old. They have worked hard in their early life to accumulate their own wealth, and naturally they ought to enjoy the right to freely spend their savings in their late life on whatever defines them. Besides, spending money on themselves can also satisfy retirees’ spiritual demands. It is a commonplace that the old were wrapped up in both their work and domestic trivialities in the early years, and it is after retirement that they are allowed to smell the flowers and engage themselves in what they truly love. Meanwhile, compared with saving money for their children, which may demotivate the young to devote themselves to work, spending money can spur the young’s diligence.

  解析

  老人給自己花錢的好處：1. 保障自己做決定(花自己錢)的權利;2. 滿足老人自己的精神需求

  ? safeguard vt. 保護

  ? pressurise sb. to do sth. 強迫

  ? put sth. onto the top agenda 把…放在首位

  ? be wrapped up in sth. 忙于某事而無暇顧及其他事

  ? domestic trivialities n. 家庭瑣事

  ? smell the flowers 休息一下，享受生活

  ? diligence n. 勤勉

  Conclusion

  In light of the above, despite some above-mentioned cases, retirees ought to have the right to spend their money freely on whatever they like.

  解析

  重申觀點
