在奥巴马总统11月16日的讲话中,我们发现了一个非常有趣的现象:总统讲话中有很多内容都和我们雅思写作考试的议论文任务有很大的关联。作为名人的言论,如果我们在写作内容中加入他的讲话内容,自然可以让我们的论证更有说服力。以下是讲话中的内容和雅思议论文中对应的内容说明。
在雅思写作考试中,曾有考到富国是否要帮助发展中或者尚待发展的国家和地区的考题,如:
Should rich countries offer assistance to those underdeveloped and undeveloped ones?
总统讲话中则提到了富国提供帮助的好处:他认为当今世界就是一个相互联系的地球村,该举使得双方受益,无论是帮助方还是接受帮助方。
※ In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion -- today it tops over $400 billion each year. The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways. America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry. This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life. And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.
※ I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected. The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek -- all of these things are shared.
总统也提到了体育发展对于全人类的意义,同样,这个内容可以运用于以下这个考题:
Why it is important to develop sports?
