2017年7月雅思寫作範文

雅思考試還在持續把進行中，考生們還在勤奮備考。下面，小編就為各位雅思考生送上一篇2017年7月雅思寫作範文，供考生參考。

Most writers of fiction do not earn enough money to live from their writing.

　　Do you think the government should give them financial assistance to help encourage good literature?

　　Model Answer:

There are some conditions under which a novelist could reasonably expect some government support. In general terms, if the writer has already proved that he or she can write well, and if the stories produced are stimulating and interesting, then I consider that some financial help might be given.

Language quality is difficult to define, but if the writing shows, for example, good grammar, a wide vocabulary, and elegance and imagination, then I can see a valid reason for assisting an author to spend some time free from money problems. Such a writing needs to be encouraged. the entertainment value of a book would be also a factor in deciding whether to provide assistance to an author. Further consideration would include social and educational values expressed in the author's work.

However, if the ideas were socially irresponsible, or if the stories contain unnecessary violence or pornography for its own sake, then I would not want to see the author sponsored to write stories which do not benefit society. Other exceptions are the many writers of good books who do not require financial help. Books which proved to be extremely popular, such as the Harry Potter stories, clearly need no subsidy at all because the authors have become rich through their writing.

Views on what good quality writing means will vary widely, and so if any author is to be given money for writing, then the decision would have to be made by a committee or panel of judge. An individual opinion would certainly cause disagreement among the reading public.

　附：雅思寫作用語技巧

　　名詞活用作動詞

head作為名詞來講表示“頭”，用作動詞可表示“朝向，為首”

e.g.: South Korea heads the education-mobility league, just ahead of Finland.

這裏的`heads相當於takes the leading role in,但卻顯得十分生動形象，簡潔而有力。

再來看另一個例子，大家比較熟悉的fuel的含義是“燃料”，但是在下面這句話中fuel仍然是指“燃料”麼?

e.g.: aba’s growth has been impressive. But it has been partly fuelled by hasty acquisitions—more than a dozen big ones this year alone, to the tune of around $5 billion.

在這句話中，fuel是指一些倉促的併購為阿里巴巴的上市加油，推波助瀾。
