Q：備考雅思寫作中如何開闊思路，積累寫作素材如相關(guān)論點(diǎn)論據(jù)等？
面對(duì)茫茫作文題海，不少考生不知所措：全部話題都準(zhǔn)備不切實(shí)際；不全面準(zhǔn)備，心中又沒底。充分準(zhǔn)備了其中某個(gè)話題，比方說，婦女犯罪問題，并不意味著考生有把握寫好另一個(gè)話題，例如垃圾問題，畢竟不同的話題要求考生具備不同的觀點(diǎn)、詞匯。怎么解決這棘手的問題呢？關(guān)鍵在于開闊思路，積累相關(guān)寫作素材，善于從不同話題中找"共性"。我們只要對(duì)已出現(xiàn)的作文考題稍作分析，就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，雖然雅思作文話題多達(dá)數(shù)百題，不少話題其實(shí)是類似，相近或者是相通的，例如，"遠(yuǎn)程教育的利弊"="電腦取代老師的利弊"，"誰該為我們的老人負(fù)責(zé)"="老人住老人院還是家里"，"動(dòng)物園有沒有必要"="該不該保護(hù)瀕危動(dòng)物"，"政府該不該資助藝術(shù)家"="政府該不該投資藝術(shù)項(xiàng)目如音樂廳、博物館等"。筆者開玩笑說，在寫作老師的眼中，動(dòng)物園跟博物館差不多，奧運(yùn)會(huì)跟旅游業(yè)沒啥不同，甚至養(yǎng)寵物跟出國(guó)留學(xué)也能扯上邊！在寫作過程中，我們很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)，支持建動(dòng)物園的論據(jù)跟支持建博物館的論據(jù)差不多，所需的詞匯也相差無幾；奧運(yùn)會(huì)的好處跟發(fā)展旅游業(yè)的好處95%相同！下面簡(jiǎn)單列出動(dòng)物園和旅游業(yè)的PROS，希望讀者有所啟發(fā)，發(fā)現(xiàn)其中奧妙。
Arguments for zoos:
1. Preserve the rare species/endangered animals/wildlife. The habitats of some animals are being destroyed and therefore they are in real danger of dying out. Provide better conditions and professional care and treatment.
2. Act as an ideal scientific research center. Conduct experiments.
3. Play an educational role. Enrich our knowledge and widen our horizon.
4. As a tourist attraction, zoos boost the local tourism and generate tourist dollars by attracting people for a visit.
5. As a place of entertainment and recreation.
Arguments for tourism:
1. Boost the local economy, increase the government revenue, earn foreign currency and improve the living standard of the locals. Relieve the pressure of unemployment.
2. Enhance mutual understanding, remove hostility and prejudice, promote good will and strengthen ties. Maintain world peace.
3. Showcase the brilliant culture and glorious history. Promote cross-cultural communication. Improve the image of a place. Increase reputation and upgrade the status in the international community.
4. Improve the living environment and better the basic facilities. Increase investment in infrastructure.
5. Improve the quality of the locals. Expose them to the outside world. Widen their vision and develop a broader mind.
