1、雅思写作材料大作文教育类1：Schools are no longer necessary, because children can get so much information available through the Internet and they can study just as well at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree?参考范文：The Internet is developing at a surprising speed and is changing the whole way of our life

2、and education. For example, it is claimed that children can just study at home, making full use of abundant information on the Internet, instead of going to schools as they did before. There is no denying that the Internet plays an important role in the domain of education but, as far as I am concer

3、ned, it is far from enough to ensure an education as comprehensive and wholesome as schools do.Admittedly, the Internet is doomed to play an inevitable role in childrens education. If a student cannot explore the virtual world by using IE or Firefox, etc, he or she will be in danger of being kept fr

4、om what is going on in the world However, those students who know how to search for the valuable information available on the Web tend to gain themselves big advantages in that they can browse for more detailed information about the subjects discussed in class, gaining a deeper insight into the even

5、ts or experiments and acquiring a multi-dimensional understanding of the current issues, since so great a variety of related information can be accessed by some powerful search engines such as Google, or Baidu. However, this does not automatically mean the Internet can play all the roles a school ca

6、n, nor that it can take the place of school education.School education always is, and will remain, essential for childrens upbringing, because it is not only a platform to impart knowledge but also a stage to educate an individual about values and attitudes, rights and wrongs, goods and evils. At sc

7、hool, children, encouraged by their teachers and accompanied by their peers, can benefit in a wider range. They are more likely to be sociable and outgoing, cooperative and tolerant. On the other hand, the Internet can hardly serve these functions. Even if it provides information about role samples

8、and about moral classes, it is not up to children to choose from these “goods” and those unsuitable “evils” online, for children are not mature enough to make a good judgment and their parents are always busy working and absent from home.Overall, we can see that schools are actually necessary even i

9、n the so-called Internet age and young students should also be encouraged to master the computer skills to ensure a better future.(395 words)教育类2：Higher education can be funded by several ways such as the following. 1. All costs paid by the government, 2. All costs paid by the students, 3. All costs

10、 paid by the government loan which students have to pay back after graduation. Please discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of all these three theories above and decide which the best is.参考范文：In the last decade, the funding of higher education has become one of the most heated focuses of dis

11、cussion and disputes across the whole country. Opinions are deeply divided as to who are responsible for paying the increasingly high fees.With a tendency to bold that higher education is no longer compulsory, many people then claim that it should be funded by students themselves instead of the gove

12、rnment. This indeed reduces governments financial burden to a certain extent and it is argued that students motivation would be highly strengthened since they have paid a large amount of fees to obtain the access. But the downsides should not be neglected. That is mainly to say, the economically dis

13、advantaged groups, such as children of impoverished farmers in remote rural areas and laid-off workers in cities, may be put at an extreme disadvantage, and therefore should be assured of an equal chance to access the university education by the government.Conversely, some people suggest that all th

14、e tuition fees should be paid by the government, thus enabling all its citizens, whether poor or rich, to have equal access to higher education. What is more, it is also a scheme to reduce the disparities between the two classes so as to enhance the social harmony. But opponents may refute this, poi

15、nting out that the government budget is never unlimited. While this is true, I tend to think the limited budget should be prioritized and education of people should be the first priority.Consequently，the third approachby government loan seems to be the most practical one. It allows the students, the

16、 impoverished ones in particular, to go on with their further education in university regardless of their economic status. Meanwhile, the government does not shoulder too much financial burden beyond its capacities. Some people are worried that there is still a risk that students who take out a loan

17、 from government may refuse to pay back or be unable to keep up with their loan repayments. I think this is less likely today, when the credit system of the state is highly developed and the rule-breakers can be easily found and punished. So overall, I am in support of the third strategy: government

18、 making loans to students who are supposed to pay them back within one or two years after their graduation.(389 words)教育类3： In many countries, more and more young people are leaving school and unable to find jobs after graduation. What problems do you think youth unemployment will cause to the indiv

19、idual and the society and what measures can be done to solve this problem?参考范文：In recent years, graduates are finding it increasingly difficult to find an ideal job after leaving school or university, thus youth unemployment is becoming a relatively new issue for many countries in the world. This es

20、say will look at the severe consequences it may lead to and put forward some moderate proposals.One of the most immediate effects is that those jobless graduates cannot find a way to earn a living, thus unable to cover the loans which they had for their expensive education and to support their famil

21、ies, creating much pressure on themselves and other family members, both financially and psychologically. They may be haunted by pessimism and distress.However, this is far from a personal or private problem. I mean, it is also a problem for the society as a whole. When the rate of youth unemploymen

22、t rises, it may increase the chance of social instability, for the jobless young people with resent and disappointment may easily form gangs or groups to commit robbery or other more serious crimes. For example, there are 6.11 million college graduates in China in 2008, but unfortunately the employm

23、ent demand is reported to be only 4.0 million because of the financial crisis and other factors. It is really a thorny issue for the government to address deliberately and carefully.The possible solutions are always under discussion at both personal and government level. Some people suggest that gov

24、ernmental allowance for the unemployed should be made a policy in order to maintain social stability as well as give them a better living. Some others think postgraduate enrollment should be enlarged to ease the problem to a certain extent. But 1 think this is only an expedient to put off the proble

25、m rather than resolve it. One point I would like to make is concerning young graduates themselves, who should be advised to lower their unrealistic expectations and embark on some seemingly more fundamental work, for example, that in the communities or rural areas, which is indeed not that “bad”. Th

26、is may work efficiently to reduce the current unemployment rates.(344 words)教育类4：In recent decades, an increasing number of museums and galleries have been built in my country, most of which are equipped with latest technologies and advanced facilities. What is the function of such places and who sh

27、ould be responsible for financing such places?参考范文：It is apparent that these museums firstly serve as places to shed light on the history and culture that have been created by our brilliant forefathers over a span of thousands of years. For example, visitors to the Palace Museum can be impressed wit

28、h the magnificence of the artistic works created by the ancient Chinese people and those to China Science and Technology Museum can never lose sight of the technical achievements made both historically and currently. All of these experiences will result in a clearer understanding of how things once

29、were and where society is headed, which is especially beneficial to those young minds which will be most likely to be interested and inspired to explore the unknown world.From the above discussion, we can see that the main purposes of a museum had never involved a profit orientation so I find myself

30、 in agreement with those claims that such places should be funded by governments. The reasons are highly evident in that they may run out of funds for the daily maintenance and their personnel since they are not profit- making companies and therefore fail to serve the purposes mentioned above.Of cou

31、rse, some people may argue that a government has a rather finite budget and a lot more essential tasks to carry out, such as education or healthcare of the general public, especially those in poor areas. I fully understand such concerns but still firmly believe that government has a major role to pl

32、ay in financing museums, at the very least, there should be reasonable governmental subsidies. Besides, some other practical approaches should be explored. For example, companies should be encouraged to sponsor various museums or some other kinds of donations from individuals can also serve an indis

33、pensable part.科技类1：Some people think that air travel should be restricted because it causes serious pollution and uses up the worlds fuel resources. What do you think?参考范文：Airplanes are becoming the first choice of transportation by more and more people. Some protesters claim that air travel should be restricted because of its
