学习雅思作文，了解任务驱动

其实语文老师真的需要大开眼界，而不要全部埋首故纸堆。

了解国际写作的动向，才知道高考发展的方向。

任务作文不是什么新鲜玩意儿，而是国际写作的主流，反而我们的中国式文艺范儿、中国式文艺腔是支流。见惯了浮夸的修辞，见惯了大段的排比，见惯了古人“开会”，我们已然“习焉不察”了。

当然了，能促进作文界内部发生变化的，除了理念的更新之外，外部的交流对比是最快最直接的。

顺带一说：语文匠在去年预言过，将来我们高考也会废除纸笔考试，实行上机考试，作文也会电脑自动评分，而不是靠人类阅卷，这一切都不是梦想，在大数据、云平台的今天，这一切都是发展方向而已。当然了，一个前提是要作文文体文风要革新。

下面我们欣赏一下雅思作文试题，以及满分范文。

 剑9 1-2  Some expertsbelieve that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language atprimary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweighthe disadvantages?

【作文试题材料译文】一些专家认为，孩子们最好在小学学习外语，而不是中学。这样做的优点大于缺点吗？

【语文匠说】假设这就是高考作文，你打算怎么写？想好了，继续往下看。

【语文匠说】不要简单认为人家的外语考试，毫无借鉴意义，也不要认为这是“第二语言”考试，不是母语考试。其实，即使是人家的母语考试，诸如SAT  \ACT,作文类型也差不多的。

【9分满分范文】

【注：语文老师即使不能全部读懂以下文字，但是也可以明显看出，这里并没有大段引用古人素材展现论据丰富，也没有莎翁式的文艺抒情。就事论事以及就事论理，把论题分析清楚即可。关键是你的逻辑思维。】

1Traditionallychildren have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school,butintroducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policyhas been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools,withboth positive and negative outcomes.

 

2The obviousargument in its favour is that young children pick up languages much moreeasily than teenagers. Their brains are still programmed to acquire theirmother tongue, which facilitates leaning another language, and unlikeadolescents, they are not inhibited by self-consciousness.

 

3The greaterflexibility of the primary timetable allows for more frequent,shorter sessionsand for a play-centred approach, thus maintaining learners’ enthusiasm andprogress. Their command of the language in late life will benefit from thisearly exposure, while learning other languages subsequently will be easier forthem. They may also gain a better understanding of other cultures.

 

4Thereare,however, some disadvantages. Primary school teachers are generalists, andmay not have the necessary language skills themselves. If specialists have tobe brought in to deliver these sessions, the flexibility referred to above isdiminished, if primary language teaching is not standardised, secondary schoolscould be faced with a great variety of levels in different languages withintheir intake,resulting in a classroom experience which undoes the earliergains. There is no advantage if enthusiastic primary pupils become demotivatedas soon as they change school.However,these issues can be addressedstrategically within the policy adopted.

 

5Anythingwhich encourage language learning benefits society culturally and economically,and early exposure to language learning contributes to this. Young children’sinnate abilities should be harnessed to make these benefits more achievable.

传统上，孩子们开始在学校学习外语，但他们被介绍接受更早期的相关教育是由一些教育家建议的。这项政策已被一些教育机构或个别学校采用，既有积极成果，也有消极成果。

 

显而易见的论证是，年幼的儿童比青少年更容易掌握语言。他们的大脑仍然被编程来获得母语，这有利于学习另一种语言，与青少年不同，他们并没有受到自我意识的抑制。

 

初学的时间表具有更大的灵活性，允许更频繁、更短的会议和以游戏为中心的方法，从而保持学习者的积极性和进步。他们掌握语言在之后的生活将受益于这种早期的曝光，而学习其他语言也相应对他们更容易。而且他们也可以更好地了解其他文化。

 

然而，有一些缺点。小学教师是通才，而不具备必要的语言技能。如果专家来提供这些课程，面提到的灵活性上会减少；如果是非标准化的小学语文教学，中学会面临各种不同水平的存在，导致课堂经验，撤销先前的涨势。如果一旦换了学校，热情的小学生就会变得消极。但是，有些策略可以用来解决这些问题。

 

鼓励语言学习的东西有利于社会的文化和经济，早期接触语言的学习也对此有大有裨益。年幼儿童的天生能力应该被利用，使这些益处更容易实现。
