增強雅思英語的報紙
雅思大作文真題：看報紙是獲知新聞的最好途徑嗎？
「Some people believe that newspaper is the best way to learn about news, while others believe that more effective way is through other media. Discuss both views and give your opinion.」
解析&審題
本周考題雖然在近些年沒有出現，但烤鴨們應該感到很開心，因為這實在是個太熟悉的話題了，也許我們經常討論這個話題，尤其是在我們所處的互聯網時代。
2012年6月9日曾經考過一個有關「新聞」的題目，原題如下：
Some people think news has no connection to people's lives, so it is a waste of time to read the news on the newspaper and watch television news programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
這個題目要求我們討論的觀點是：新聞與我們的生活無關，因此閱讀報紙或看電視新聞節目是浪費時間。就這個題目而言，我們完全可以反駁其前提條件去論證新聞與我們的生活息息相關，因此閱讀報刊和看電視新聞是非常重要的。
回到本次考題，我們發現題目要求與2012年6月9日不同，這次問的是關於獲知新聞的方式：閱讀報紙是不是獲知新聞的最好方式？是否還有其他更好的方式？
這種提問方式我們也不陌生，2018年3月3日和3月10日兩次考試就是這種提問方式，其中3月3日問的是監獄是不是解決犯罪問題的最好方式，3月10日問的則是提高車價和油價是不是解決交通和污染問題的最好方式。回答這種問題的思路通常是先肯定題目中提供的方式的有效性，然後提出這個方式存在的問題，最後提出其他更好的方式。
比如本次考試，我們就可以先論證報紙的確是獲知新聞的很好途徑（包括閱讀心理、深度分析等），但報紙的問題就是出版速度慢，而且需要花錢購買，攜帶也不方便，而電視、網路則可以解決這方面的問題，因此可以通過各種媒介來獲取新聞，而不是僅僅依靠報紙。
老師筆記01
The newspaper will remain to be an important source of people』s newsconsumption, even though other media may get the upper hand. Many predict that the print』s days are numbered e to strong competition from television, radio and the Internet. In terms of popularity, newspaper isstatistically down but is not emotionally out.
盡管其他媒體可能占上風，但報紙仍將是人們新聞消費的重要來源。許多人預測，由於來自電視、收音機和互聯網的激烈競爭，印刷品的日子已經屈指可數了。就受歡迎程度而言，報紙在統計意義上會下降，但在情感上卻不會出局。
解析
（1）本段引入話題，並提出觀點：newspaper is statistically down but emotionally not out。
（2）consumption 消費
（3）get the upper hand 占上風
（4）days are numbered 日子屈指可數了
（5）popularity 受歡迎度；流行度
（6）statistically 數據方面；從數據上講
02
Statistically, it can be said that the print news audiences are dwindling, which means newspaper readership is getting eclipsed by other ways of learning about news. It is a long, slow and painful downward spiral to the point that the newspaper, like vinyl records and film cameras, is a relic for collectors. According to research reports on the news instry, local television is the number one source of news for the majority of people, with digital news coming in second, followed by the radio, and then by the newspaper. One possible explanation why the newspaper is being left farbehind is that many people do not see the point in buying a print newspaper if they believe they can get all the news they need elsewhere for free.
從統計上說，印刷新聞的受眾正在減少，這意味著報紙的讀者群正在被其他的新聞獲取方式所蠶食。這是一個漫長、緩慢和痛苦下降螺旋線，最後報紙會像乙烯基唱片和膠卷相機一樣，成為收藏家的古物。根據新聞業的研究報告，本地電視台是大多數人的第一新聞渠道，數字化新聞排在第二位，其次是電台，最後是報紙。報紙被遠遠拋在後面的一個可能的解釋是，如果人們相信可以從其他地方免費獲取新聞，那麼花錢買報紙是沒有意義的。
解析
（1）本段論述報紙已經不是新聞渠道首選及其原因：其他渠道是免費的，而報紙需要花錢購買。
（2）dwindle 減少
（3）eclipse n.（日、月）食；v. 使遮蔽，使失色
（4）spiral 螺旋
（5）relic 遺跡；古物
（6）news instry 新聞業
（7）leave behind...... 落在......後面
（8）for free 免費地
03
Nevertheless, for emotional reasons, print newspapers will continue to existfor a good while. To begin with, the feeling of a warm newspaper right off the press is one of traditional readers』 favorite moments to begin a regular day. Unlike other ways of delivering news, a print newspaper can be physically held in a reader』s hands, and this is a huge pro for print editions. In addition, newspapers can provide opportunities for longer, more in-depth feature articles that tend to be read in full. Instead of becoming a thing of the past, print newspapers are still widely read and preferred by many audiences.
盡管如此，由於情感原因，印刷報紙仍將繼續存在一段時間。首先，傳統讀者的日常一天就是拿到一份剛出爐的報紙那個溫暖時刻開始的。與其他的新聞傳遞方式不同，紙質報紙可以拿在讀者手中，這是印刷版新聞的最大優勢。此外，報紙還可以刊登更長、更深入的特寫文章，供讀者全文閱讀。因此，印刷版報紙沒有成為過去時，仍被廣泛閱讀，並被眾多讀者喜歡。
解析
（1）本段討論報紙不會立刻消失的原因：一是拿在手中的溫暖感覺；二是報紙可以刊登較長的深度分析文章。
（2）for a while 相當長時間
（3）pro 支持；加分項
（4）in full 完整地
04
In conclusion, the golden days of print news are gone forever, but nothing is like the feeling of physically holding a newspaper in hands. After all, the different ways of learning about news are not mutually exclusive. Each news media outlet is effective in its own way.
總之，印刷新聞的黃金時代已經一去不返了，但沒有什麼比手拿報紙的感覺更好了。畢竟，獲知新聞的不同方式之間並不相互排斥，每一種新聞媒體都以其自己的方式產生作用。
解析
（1）本段結論：報紙的黃金時代已經過去，但不會消失，不同新聞獲知方式並不相互排斥。
（2）after all 畢竟
（3）mutually exclusive 互相排斥
（4）outlet 出口

B. 我將要考雅思，什麼雜志或報紙是雅思水平
要先了解自己的雅思基礎，以及你想達到的雅思分數，這樣可以更好的去針對提升。可以的話，給你做個測試，看看你的水平啊。
C. 你們說為了備考雅思，平時看一些英文報刊，是應該把每句話都弄懂呢，還是只要主要意思弄明白，可以有生詞
只看懂大意就行，練習速讀，建議看看英美的雜志，比如經濟學人和科學美國人。
D. 關於初學雅思看什麼報刊、雜志
不知道你知不知道新奇雅思 我同學在那邊上過 那個學校有很多國外的雜志，他們的學員都可以免費借來閱讀，當時我那同學就經常借回來我們幾個一起看
E. 我大二，想要考托福和雅思，麻煩推薦比較適用的英文報紙~
建議去報班，看報紙也是建立在單詞基礎上的且只是提高閱讀速度。
F. 雅思寫作：報紙是獲知新聞的最佳途徑嗎

G. 有哪兒些適合雅思初學者練習口語可看的英文雜志和報刊謝謝啦
練習口語我認為抄還是要平時多開襲口說，另外和身邊的朋友，同學多用英語交流，和口語較好的朋友進行對話也是不錯的辦法。另外如果有個練習軟體進行輔助訓練也是很有用的，或許可以事半功倍呢！我之前用過一套軟體，免費雅思口語模考，它裡面提供大量雅思口語範文，我是先背熟後再加以運用，效果還是不錯的。而且還有評測功能，模擬考試，馬上知道自己的水平如何，然後再進行針對性訓練。反正都善加利用吧！~祝你能早日通過雅思口語考試！
H. 提高雅思寫作能力可以閱讀哪些英文報刊
除了參加培訓班和學習有關雅思寫作方面的書籍，筆者推薦以下國內出版的回英文報紙和答雜志作為平時的補充材料：《21世紀英文報》(21st Century)、《廣州英文早報》(Guangzhou Morning Post)和《英語文摘》。
部分考生對筆者推薦國內出版的英文報刊雜志表示不解，他們認為國內出版的英文報紙雜志水平不及外國英文報刊高，閱讀價值不大。不可否認，國內英文報刊的整體水平無法與外國英語報刊相提並論，這是很正常的事情，畢竟英語不是我們的母語。作為寫作老師，我推薦上述報刊雜志的理由有以下幾點：首先，上述報刊的文章內容和語言難度較貼近國內讀者，且相當部分內容考生已經在中文報刊上看過，這樣可以降低閱讀難度，增強考生的自信心，激發閱讀興趣;其次，上述報刊的文章主要由國內英文記者撰寫，雖然與native English writer的文章有一定差距，但比較而言，仍屬上乘，值得廣大考生認真學習，模仿度較高，不至於曲高和寡，打擊考生的信心;第三，不少文章的內容與雅思寫作和口語話題密切相關，考生可以從中積累相關論點論據和漂亮的表達
I. 學雅思為出國做打算的讀什麼英文報紙呢
國內的報紙其實不太適用你出國需要的，尤其你要考雅思的話閱讀內容都是專業回性的東西，報紙的內答容太寬泛，如果不想做市面上的雅思閱讀真題的話，可以上Economist的網站，一本英國的經濟雜志，內容相當專業，實體雜志不太清楚國內是否能買到（我在首都機場道是看到過有賣的）
另外一我推薦看英語文摘，應該是英語沙龍那一系列的，裡面的文章也都是外國人寫的
不過我還是建議你如果只是針對考試的話，還是看雅思方面的閱讀比較好
J. 考雅思讀點什麼報刊雜志之類的好
……汗，你買一套劍橋雅思就明白了。如果提高閱讀，讀什麼都行，小說都行，只要是英文原版。
