  2019年8月1日雅思大作文題目：孩子們都該學歷史課嗎?

  Some people think it is important for all children to learn history at school. Others believe that other subjects like science and mathematics are more relevant to children's development today. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

  解析&審題

  本次考試題目是2013年5月18日的原題重現(xiàn)。關于學生在學校到底該學什么科目，類似的題目在雅思考試中也是經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)。

  本題大家應該抓獲關鍵詞和關鍵問題。關鍵詞是“children”，關鍵問題是“是不是所有孩子都應該學習歷史”和“科學和數(shù)學這些課程是不是更重要”，因此我們的討論應該體現(xiàn)出我們對關鍵詞的認識，以及對關鍵問題的回答。

  對于孩子的教育而言，我相信大家的觀點都是孩子的教育要體現(xiàn)全面性(如果本題問的是大學教育，那就要另當別論了，因為大學教育注重的應該是專業(yè)性)。

  基于這個認識，我們就可以分別論證歷史課以及數(shù)學課對于孩子的價值。

  我們當然可能有千言萬語，但在短短的250字空間內(nèi)，我建議大家抓住重點論述即可，比如歷史課的價值是讓孩子們有更寬闊的視野，而數(shù)學科的價值則是讓孩子學到更加實用的知識。圍繞這兩點展開，就是本作文的兩個主題段落了。

  以下請看唐老師的高分范文。

  01

  History has long been a typical part of students’ list of required courses throughout their school years. But, does history deserve a place as important as science and mathematics in the curriculum?

  長久以來，歷史一直是學生們在校必修課程清單中的一個典型部分。但是，在課程中歷史是否應該與科學和數(shù)學同等重要?

  解析

  (1) 本段引出話題，然后提出接下來即將討論的問題。

  (2) Typical 典型的

  (3) Required course 必修課

  (4) Deserve 值得;應得

  02

  To begin with, history does play an inspirational role in a well-rounded education. That role is for students to develop a sound awareness of the past of their own country and of the wide world, with illuminating insights into the present and the future. However, how will children learn about history if they do not even study it in school? In a certain sense, the removal of history as a core subject from school curriculum would turn out to be a tragedy for children’s education. It would be frightening to imagine that many children are likely to leave schools without a bit of knowledge of history as a source of inspiration.

  首先，歷史確實在全面教育中起到鼓舞人心的作用，即通過對現(xiàn)在和未來的有啟發(fā)性的見解，讓學生對自己國家的過去和世界的過去有一個良好的認識。然而，如果孩子們甚至都不在學校學習歷史，他們將如何得知歷史呢?從某種意義上講，將歷史作為一門核心學科從學校課程中刪除，對兒童教育來說將是一場悲劇。想象許多孩子離開學校時可能沒有一點歷史知識作為靈感來源，這將是令人恐懼的。

  解析

  (1) 本段論述歷史在學校教育中的作用，突出其振奮人心的價值。

  (2) Inspirational 給人靈感的

  (3) Well-rounded education全面的教育

  (4) A sound awareness of… 對……的良好意識

  (5) Illuminating 有啟發(fā)性的

  (6) Removal (n.) 移除;排除在外

  03

  My point, however, is not to argue in favor of history and against other subjects like science and mathematics. Rather, the latter two disciplines are commonly considered as more valuable than history since they are more immediately relevant to children’s development.As compared with history, science and mathematics usually can provide learners with such concrete knowledge regarding the number, distance, speed, and size of things in the universe. That is to say, these two courses are viewed as more practical, and therefore more valuable not only in school but also later in life.

  然而，我的觀點并不是要偏向歷史，而反對科學和數(shù)學等學科。相反，后兩個學科通常被認為比歷史更有價值，因為它們更直接地關系到孩子的發(fā)展。與歷史相比，科學和數(shù)學通常能為學習者提供關于宇宙中事物的數(shù)量、距離、速度和大小的具體知識。也就是說，這兩門課被認為更實用，不僅在學校，而且在以后的生活中也更有價值。

  解析

  (1) 本段討論科學和數(shù)學這些課程的重要性：突出其實用價值。

  (2) In favor of 偏愛……;喜歡……

  (3) Discipline 學科

  (4) Immediately 直接地

  (5) As compared with 與……相比較

  (6) Concrete knowledge 具體的知識

  04

  In conclusion, history is as important as science and mathematics, although in different ways. History makes children more open-minded, while science and mathematics make them more practical. If it is the responsibility for schools to train all-rounded students, then both history and science and mathematics should remain compulsory subjects.

  總之，歷史與科學和數(shù)學一樣重要，盡管原因不同。歷史使孩子們思想更加開闊，而科學和數(shù)學使他們更加實際。如果學校的責任是培養(yǎng)全面的學生，那么歷史、科學和數(shù)學都應該繼續(xù)成為必修科目。

  解析

  (1) 總結前文的主要觀點，并提出自己的看法。

  (2) Open-minded 思想開闊的

  (3) All-rounded 全面的

  (4) Compulsory subject 必修科目
