雅思寫作思路解析之新舊媒體對比
新舊對比一直是雅思寫作Task2大作文鍾愛的話題之一，像之前2019年1月19日的雅思大作文真題開啓復古模式，考的是媒體類的，舊題網上看新聞和報紙上讀新聞的比較：More and more people are reading news online, but newspapers are still the main source of news for many people. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 那麼，到底怎麼比較呢?
一、分類
媒體有很多種形式，在雅思考試中主要是以新舊對比的形式出現，那麼究竟何爲“新”何爲“舊”，首先我們要有個具體的劃分，這裏的“新舊”主要是從時間概念上來區分，出現較早的媒體主要是我們日常所說的“紙媒”，最經典要推newspapers。此外包括magazines 和printed books也屬傳統媒體之列，與之相比，新興媒體則多指電子產品發展之後隨之而來的其他媒體如mobile phones, computers。
二、新媒體
多數同學在拿到這樣的題目時比較容易接受的觀點應該是新興媒體好，因爲大家在生活中真正接觸多的也大都是新興媒體。好是好的，但是如何表達出來呢?這就讓很多同學犯了難。
多數同學在梳理觀點時只能給出一點比較寬泛或者口頭話的碎片表達，例如：
同學A：新媒體方便啊。
同學B：新媒體啥都能看到啊。
同學C：還可以跟網友互動呢。
同學D：環保
思路梳理：
1.方便→爲什麼方便?如何方便?隨時隨地可以看新聞。
New media forms based on the technology of internet could provide people more open access to various information regardless of spacial and temporal restriction.
2.啥都能看到→ 看到的是啥
There is a wide range of information available on the internet, ranging from international news to learning materials for the IELTS exam.
3.跟網友互動→什麼樣的網友，在哪兒互動
Modern media forms are interactive. They provide a platform where people sharing similar interest or aims could communicate with each other.
4.環保→爲什麼環保?不用紙，不消耗樹木
Compared with traditional media, modern ones are environmentally friendly for the reason that they do not consume large amount of wood.
三、傳統媒體
說到傳統媒體，大家可以從形式和內容兩個角度來分析：
從形式上看，有同學會說到啊“讀紙質書纔有讀書的感覺/就是喜歡讀紙質書”，歸納起來說就是“讀紙質材料更加符合人們的閱讀習慣”。
People find it challenging to alter their deep-rooted habit of reading printed materials.
另外，從形式上說，傳統的東西往往能跟健康搭上關係，傳統食物有營養，傳統媒體不傷眼不傷身。但是究竟如何去表達不傷眼不傷身呢，很多同學到這裏開始陷入困惑，其實從反面來說是不是就很清楚了呢?爲什麼說傳統媒體形式健康，主要是跟現代的以電子產品爲依託的新興媒體做對比吧。
那麼，再進一步，爲什麼新興媒體會傷害健康呢?一方面是長時間盯着屏幕傷害視力，另外如手機之類的電子產品本身還有輻射。
Staring at the shiny screen for a long time is harmful to users' eyesight and radiation from those electronic products is also physically detrimental.
詞彙充電：
爲某人提供某物 provide sb. with sth.
接觸到……的途徑/方法 access to
不論…… regardless of
時間和空間上的限制 spacial and temporal restriction
可獲得的，可得到的 available
包括，囊括了…… ranging from A to B
對身體有害 physically detrimental
雅思寫作滿分範文丨新媒體的利與弊及其思路解析
雅思寫作題目：News media are important in modern society. Why are they so important? Are their influences generally positive or negative?
雅思寫作題目講解：
本文建議採用五段式。正文分三段，分別交代原因、好處、壞處。原因：信息化時代 information era 的到來和全球一體化 globalization 的發展使得現代人越來越依賴於媒體傳遞的信息。
好處：新聞給人們提供了大量的信息。關於國家的政治動向、政策變化的報道可以指導個人和公司的發展計劃、投資理財 ; 天氣預報、路況信息等爲個人的出行提供了指導 ; 一些針對社會弱勢羣體的社會新聞也喚起公衆的同情心，使有困難的人得到社會的幫助。
壞處：有些新聞來源不靠譜，特別是網絡媒體。由於人人都可以通過 twitter 之類的社交網站 social networking site 來傳播信息，因此給謠言 rumor 的傳播提供了可能。有些媒體受政黨控制，因此傳遞的是一些帶偏見 biased 的消息，公衆無法客觀地從媒體中 獲取真相。甚至有些無良記者 unscrupulous journalists 爲了引起轟動 sensation，通過捏造一些假新聞來吸引讀者眼球。
結論：國家可以出臺相關的法律法規 related laws and regulations should be constituted，媒體應該進行自我審查 impose auto-censorship，來規範媒體和記者的行爲。而公衆應當有獨立思考能力和批判性思維能力 independent thinking and critical thinking ability，來辨別新聞的真假。
雅思寫作範文：
I think the news media mainly plays two important roles in modern society – providing information and influencing public opinion – and I think its influence is generally positive.
我認爲新聞媒體在現代社會中主要扮演着兩個重要的角色——提供信息和影響公衆輿論——我認爲它的影響通常是積極的。
Obviously, the news media provides people with vast amounts of information in various forms. We can access it by listening to the radio, reading newspapers and magazines, watching television and by surfing the Internet. The ability to access news media is important for individuals and organizations because we make many decisions based on the news provided to us. Some of these decisions are mundane. We check the weather forecast to see whether we should take an umbrella to work. Other news, such as that about the business world, could influence whether we invest our savings in certain companies listed on the stock exchange.
顯然，新聞媒體爲人們提供了各種形式的大量信息。我們可以通過收聽廣播，閱讀報紙和雜誌，看電視和上網。訪問新聞媒體的能力對於個人和組織很重要，因爲我們根據提供給我們的新聞做出許多決定。這些決定中有些是平凡的。我們檢查天氣預報看我們是否應該帶把傘去工作。其他的消息，比如關於商業世界的消息，可能會影響我們是否把存款投資於某些在證券交易所上市的公司。
The news is often presented to us in certain ways, using specific words to try to control our feelings and thoughts. This can be the main negative influence of the news media. Very often, the news media portrays people in simplistic ways, giving us some facts, but not the whole story. In the USA, some news media tends to support the Republicans whilst others tend towards the Democrats and the portrayal of individuals can reflect this. This is somewhat inevitable, because the editors, journalists and owners of the news media have opinions and biases. So, I think that it would be better if people checked news stories from different sources instead of only using one source.
新聞經常以某種方式呈現給我們，用特定的詞語來控制我們的感情和思想。這可能是新聞媒體的主要負面影響。新聞媒體常常以簡單的方式描繪人們，給我們一些事實，而不是整個故事。在美國，一些新聞媒體傾向於支持共和黨，而另一些則傾向於支持民主黨，個人形象也反映了這一點。這是不可避免的，因爲新聞媒體的編輯、記者和所有者都有意見和偏見。因此，我認爲如果人們從不同的來源查看新聞報道，而不是隻使用一個來源，那就更好了。
Despite the fact that the news media can report events incorrectly or with bias, I think that the general influence on society is good. More factual information gives us the chance to make better decisions, both in our personal lives and in our working lives.
儘管新聞媒體可以不正確地或帶有偏見地報道事件，但我認爲對社會的總體影響是好的。更多的事實信息使我們有機會做出更好的決定，無論是在個人生活還是在工作生活中。
雅思寫作範文：新媒體對於本土文化的影響
News media have become influential to our lives, and some people think that is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
新聞媒體對我們的生活產生影響，有人認爲這是一種消極的發展。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
思路解析：
1. 負面影響：以新聞爲主的生活方式會讓人們筋疲力盡。舉例，報紙和電視吸取了人們所有的關注，這讓人們無法關注自己的事情，也缺乏時間來維持家庭關係。
2. 負面影響：負面新聞會引發社會不安。舉例，很多謠言，關於社會傳染病，或是很多逃犯的信息，會讓人們生活在恐懼中。
3. 負面影響：媒體是洗腦工具。舉例，處於政治目的，很多新聞媒體會對某些進行毫無根據的攻擊和抹黑。這會誤導投票人的判斷和立場。
4. 正面影響：新聞媒體能提供有用的信息，建議和指導。舉例，天氣預報和交通堵塞的信息能幫助人們制定合適的出行計劃和路線。
參考範文：
Nowadays, the expanding influence of news media on the society has been a heated social issue in debate. Some believe this trend is negative because the media controls minds of the public. Personally, I partially agree with this view, and my reasons will be explored as below.
The most worrying aspect of new media is that it overwhelms people's daily lives. Actually, our lives of today are news-oriented, because of the 24-hour nonstop news cycles on TV, radio and Internet. Under such news bombardment, the information overload takes place, which means people's attentions and minds have to be glued to focusing on and interpreting endless news, comments, gossips and rumors, necessary and unnecessary, no matter where they are, in workplaces, schools, buses or homes. As a result, news media is a huge distraction, which makes people exhausted and reduces their concentration and energy on their tasks or families.
Another big concern of news media is about its roles in manipulating people's thoughts. Psychologically speaking, watching news media is a strong process of washing brain, in which the personal judgments of individual viewers might be removed and replaced with the media-established ideas. For example, for the purpose of politics, many influential newspapers, TV programs and online websites disclose the foibles of privacy, and even deliberately fabricate false rumors, scandals to diminish some political candidates in an election. Obviously, the cheatings and lies on news media are detrimental to the social equity and democracy, because they keep voters from thinking freely and independently.
However, the positive impact news media bring to our lives can never be ignored. In fact, the exposure to these news and reports can give the audience valuable messages and suggestions in day-to-day life. For example, the information about forecasts of weather and traffic situations in rush hours on regional newspapers or radio channels can instruct local residents to make proper schedules, plans and routers for travelling outside. In addition, reports about pressing social problems like epidemics, natural disasters, violence and crimes in streets also help to arouse the public's awareness of the importance of improving education and health care systems, as well as the necessity of saving environment.
In conclusion, the demerits caused by news media override its benefits for the public. Although it can provide useful and practical information to the audience, it influences people in more negative ways, including an unbalanced life due to addiction in news, as well as the misunderstanding about social issues.
