2023年4月29日雅思写作考试已经结束啦,小编搜集整理了本次雅思写作task2:科技让人们有更多的休闲时光范文,供雅思考生参考。

WRITING TASK 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

It was predicted that with the development of technology, people would have more free time in 21st century.

To what extent do you think the prediction has come true?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

【话题分类】

科技类

【题目解析】

题目大意:曾有预测说,随着科技的发展,人们将会在21世纪有更多的空闲时间。你认为这个预测在多大程度上实现了?

【思路分析】

本题考查科技发展对于人们空闲时间的影响,与常见的科技类话题有一定的关联,但是需要关注free time的方向。科技在事实上提升了生产力,减少了很多生产活动的时间,在数码技术、网络技术以及交通等方面的进步也缩短了人们日常沟通和出行的时间,生活方面也因为各类方便的家用电器而节省了大量的时间。但是同时人们也发现,工作时间并没有缩短,人们仍然需要经常性的加班,手机和通讯也使人们随时可以被联系到,侵占了私人的时间;机器的应用也加剧了劳动力市场的竞争,使得人们必须花费更多的时间学习掌握新的技能或是做兼职工作以养活自己。

【写作思路】

开头段:改写题目,表明立场,虽然确实在某方面让人们更高效,但并非增加了休闲时间。

主体第一段:说明科技发展对于生产力的提升以及使人们增加了一些自由支配的时间。

主体第二段:说明由于科技的发展并不必然会让人们的空闲时间增加。

结尾段:强调个人立场,表明科技进步确实提升了效率,但是对于人们时间的需求也发生了改变,人们需要更多的时间投入,并且平衡工作和个人生活在我们人类自己。

【参考范文】

One of the predicted benefits of technological progress in the 21st century was that people would have more free time. While there is no doubt that technology has facilitated automation of many tasks and productivity increase, it is also clear that this has not necessarily translated into more leisure time for individuals.

On the one hand, it is true that technology has revolutionized many aspects of our lives and has allowed us to complete tasks more quickly and easily. In agriculture, for example, the use of machines has dramatically increased efficiency, meaning that farmers can produce more food in less time than ever before. Similarly, the rise of the internet and digital communication tools and the improvements of transportation have enabled us to work from anywhere, reducing the amount of time we need to spend commuting to and from an office. These technological advancements have undoubtedly saved time and make us more productive.

On the other hand, the same technological advancements have also led to an increase in the demands on our time. The availability of digital devices and the internet means that we are always connected and always "on" regardless of locations and time zones. Employees are often required to be available outside of traditional working hours in sacrifice of their free time. Additionally, machines have been replacing human workers in almost every area, which has led to intense competition in the labour market. People thus have to spend more time learning and honing new skills to secure their jobs or they have to work extended hours doing part-time jobs to make ends meet.

In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly given rise to greater efficiency and productivity in many areas of life, it has not led to more leisure time. Instead, the demands on our time have simply shifted and changed, and it is up to us as individuals to find ways to balance work and leisure time in this increasingly connected and competitive world.
