2016年12月15日雅思大作文题目
Some people think international cooperation has brought benefits to world environment protection, while other people think more benefits have been brought to world business. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
本次考试的话题
关于国际合作及其产生的后果：国际合作更有利于环境保护还是世界贸易(跨国企业)?
关于 “international”问题，雅思大作文可谓频繁出现，主要涉及的话题包括国际旅游、国际慈善组织、国际新闻、国际合作等。比如下面的这几道题：
2011年5月7日
“环境保护需要国际合作，个人什么也做不了”
2013年6月22日
“孩子是否应该学习国际新闻的课程”
2015年5月13日和2015年8月13日
“国际旅游是好是坏，让人开拓视野还是让人变得更加偏见”
2015年6月6日
“援助应该针对本人，还是应该捐钱给国际慈善组织”
尤其值得关注的是，2010年6月17日与2014年1月25日两次考试的话题都是“世界贸易和国际旅游增加了人与人之间的交往，这是好事还是坏事”，而本次考试则稍微转换角度：国际合作对环境保护更有利还是对世界贸易更有利?
很多同学一看见国际，环保，世界贸易这样的词汇，可能头一下就懵圈了，不知从何动笔。唐老师在这里告诉大家一个秘诀：任何话题，无论大小，都一定与我们生活相关，烤鸭们要做的就是挖掘这些话题与我们日常生活的实际关联。
那么，国际合作给环境保护带来了什么好处呢?唐老师首先想到的是技术，你无我有，大家相互交流，不是可以更好地保护环境吗?这里如果烤鸭有些日常知识，能举出一些环境保护的技术输出或输入的具体例子就更好了!其次是改变环保意识。在国际合作中，我们可能从其他国家那里学习到一些以前没有过的环保观念。当然，有些环境问题本来就不是个别国家的问题，需要国际合作。
然后，国际合作又给世界贸易带来什么好处呢?首先，国际合作可为用户提供更多选择;其次，国际合作可以提高产品的本土化和服务质量。这些都将促进世界贸易的发展。
最后，论述“我的观点”。这个题目提问的重点是国际合作带给环境保护和世界贸易的好处，究竟孰多孰少?在唐老师看来，这个问题实属无厘头：如果比较国际合作带给两个不太相关事物的好处多少?但烤鸭又必须要回答这个问题，因此需要提出一个自己的标准：就与我们日常生活的相关性看，国际合作好像对世界贸易的好处更大，因为它让我们直接感受到了它的影响，当然我也完全清楚国际合作对环保的影响同样巨大。
7分范文
International cooperation is now everywhere: the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the car we drive - all may be the effects of international cooperation. Yet when it comes to issue of which of the two, the environmental protection or the world business, benefits more from international cooperation, opinions vary from one individual to another.
Needless to say, international cooperation has helped a great deal in environmental protection. When dealing with some environmental issues like global warming, we need the joint effort of all countries across the world. Even in face of local issues, the new technology from other countries can be very helpful. When developing the high-speed train in China, for example, a technology called “air cleaner” from Russia is used, which has helped to reduce significantly the air pollution along the railway.
International cooperation has greatly expanded the world business as well. International cooperation can not only increase the productivity but also bring down the costs. It is because of international cooperation that American customers can enjoy the high-quality commodities from China at low prices and vice versa. Meanwhile, if countries work together, they can make their products and services more agreeable to the local people, which in turn will create more markets. For example, Microsoft products are all originally in English and were met with cold eyes 20 years ago when they entered China. It was only after Microsoft cooperated with Chinese programmers and converted the language to Chinese that its products have been widely accepted in China.
It is hard, though, to determine which has benefited more from international cooperation. My immediate response would be that world business is the greater beneficiary. After all, I have seen with my own eyes how the expanded world business as a result of the international cooperation has changed my life. Of course, I am fully aware as well that our environment is becoming better and better thanks to the international cooperation.

International cooperation is now everywhere: the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the car we drive - all may be the effects of international cooperation. Yet when it comes to issue of which of the two, the environmental protection or the world business, benefits more from international cooperation,opinions vary from one individual to another.
现在，国际合作无处不在：我们穿的衣服，吃的食品，驾驶的汽车，都有可能是国际合作的结果。然而，当谈及环境保护和世界贸易哪一个从国际合作中获益更多时，人们的意见就各不相同了。
解析
(1) 首段介绍背景，然后提出话题。是中规中矩的做法。
(2) when it comes to... 当谈到......。这个词组虽然有用，但最近似乎有滥用的嫌疑。
(3) ...opinions vary from one individual to another 观点人见人殊

毋庸多言，国际合作对环境保护帮助很大。当处理诸如全球变暖这样的环境问题时，我们需要全球所有国家的共同努力。即使在面对地方问题时，从其他国家引进的技术也会很有用。比如，当中国开发高速列车时，就使用了一种俄罗斯的“空气清洁器”的技术，这个技术极大降低了沿轨的空气污染。
解析
(1)本段讨论国际合作对环保的作用，主要从国际环境问题和本地环境问题来谈，认为都需要国际合作，最后举例说明国际合作对环保意义重大。
(2)needless to say 不用说
(3)in face of... 面临......

国际合作也极大地拓展了世界贸易。国际合作不仅提升了生产力也降低了成本。正是由于国际合作，美国的用户才能低价享受到来自中国的高品质商品，反之亦然。同时，如果不同国家一起合作，就能让其产品和服务更加适应于本地人，这反过来会创造更多市场。比如，微软公司的产品原本都是英语的，20年前进入中国时遭遇冷眼，一直到后来微软与中国编程人员合作，将语言转换成汉语，其产品才被中国广为接受。
解析
(1) 本段论述国际合作对世界贸易发展的好处。首先是国际合作有助于商品的流通;其次是国际合作能够让商品本地化，并举Microsoft为例来证明。
(2) expand 扩张
(3) productivity 生产力
(4) vice versa 反之亦然
(5) agreeable 令人愉快的
(6) convert 转变

然而，决定这两者谁从国际合作获益更多却很不容易。我的直接反应是，世界贸易是获益更多的一方。毕竟，我是亲眼看到国际合作如何拓展世界贸易，而这又是如何改变了我的生活。当然，我也十分清楚，由于国际合作，我们的环境越变越好了。
解析
(1) 本段为结尾段，阐明自己的观点。
(2) determine 决定，确定
(3) beneficiary 获益方;受益人
(4) be aware of... / that... 意识到......
(5) thanks to... 由于
