话说每个人都会有点小爱好，有人喜欢读书，有人喜欢看电视，烤鸭们，你们喜欢干什么呢？提起读书和看电视，没错，是关于我们雅思写作考试的内容。悦读和看电视哪个更有利于培养想象力和语言能力？你会怎么写呢？
2018年2月10日雅思大作文题目
“ It is believed by many that those people who read for pleasure are better in imagination and language skills than those who prefer to watch TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”
本题是2013年1月5日的原题重现，最近几次考题都在重复2013年的原题，这或许是巧合，但也提醒各位烤鸭，近期多重视2013年 2014年的原题。那么，休闲式的阅读（read for pleasure）和看电视到底哪个更有利于培养我们的想象力和语言能力呢？
审题中需要注意：一定要：
（1）比较休闲式的阅读和看电视；（2）涉及想象力和语言能力。不可缺失。
观点选取：
可以一边倒的方式，即认为阅读/看电视有利于培养想象力和语言能力，这就需要找到2-3个赞同一方的理由，同时驳斥另一方；也可以双边讨论，即说清楚在哪些情况下阅读比看电视好，而在另外的情况下看电视比阅读更好。
本次唐老师提供的范文，意思非常简单清楚，但语言清晰，文章结构合理，特别适合目前写作水平在6分但又想冲刺7分的同学模仿。

People can entertain themselves in multiple ways.They can read books, surf the internet, listen to music or watch TV. Many consider that the individuals who often read are better in language skills and creative capabilities like imagination than those who prefer to watch TV. To a certain extent, I am in favor of this argument.
人们可以通过多种方式娱乐自己，他们可以读书、上网、听音乐或看电视。许多人认为，在语言技能和类似想象力的创造能力方面，经常阅读的人比那些喜欢看电视的人更好。在某种程度上，我赞成这个论点。
解析
（1）本段为开头段，通过娱乐的方式罗列引出题目观点，最后点出自己的观点。这是中规中矩的开头段。
（2）entertain 使......娱乐；招待
（3）multiple 多样的；多种的（=many）
（4）capability 能力
（5）in favor of 赞同

Obviously, when one is reading, he can come across thousands of words and hundreds of grammar points in a very short time. Then he will be required to comprehend the meaning of the words, collocations and sentence structures. Sometimes when he is faced with some unknown words or has no idea about what a paragraph is about, he will be forced to take a guess, which is necessary for language learning and use. By contrast, when a person watches TV, what attracts him is just the changing pictures presented on the screen and he is less likely to pay enough attention to the subtitles or the background voices, as a consequence, he can hardly improve his language skills. When he has something to say, he may feel the idea is just at the tip of his tongue, but he can barely describe his mind in his own words.
很明显，当一个人阅读的时候，他可以在很短的时间内遇到数千个单词和数百个语法点。然后，他将被要求理解词语、搭配和句子结构的意思。有时，当他面对一些不明白的词或不知道某段话是什么意思时，他会被迫去猜测，而猜测是语言学习和使用所必需的。相反，当一个人看电视时，吸引他的只是屏幕上变化的图像，他不太可能对字幕或背景声音给予足够的关注，因此，他很难提高他的语言技能。当他有话要说的时候，他可能会觉得这个想法就在嘴边却很难用自己的语言描述思想。
解析
（1）本段论述在语言能力培养方面，阅读比看电视更有优势：阅读会要求读者去理解语言，猜测语义，而看电视则只看图像，对语言不太关注，这样，阅读势必更能培养我们的语言能力。当然，如果换个角度，我们也完全可以认为，看电视可能更有利于培养我们的听说能力。
（2）come across 遇到
（3）comprehend 理解
（4）be faced with... 面临
（5）subtitle 字幕
（6）at the tip of one’s tongue 在嘴边
03
In addition, those who read for pleasure often have to imagine in order to understand the world the words create especially when there are no illustrations. Therefore, the more they read, the better their imagination becomes and the sharper their mind gets. Those who sit in front of TV all day, however, do not have to imagine as often as those who read for pleasure because the pictures on the screen tell them everything they want to know.
此外，那些休闲阅读的人往往必须想象才能了解文字创造的世界，尤其是在没有插图的情况下。因此，读得越多，他们的想象力就越好，头脑就越敏锐。然而，那些整天坐在电视前的人，不必像休闲阅读的人那样经常想象，因为屏幕上的图像告诉了他们想知道的一切。
解析
（1）本段论述在想象力培养方面，阅读也同样具有优势。
（2）create 创造
（3）illustration （书中的）插图
04
In conclusion, TV can undoubtedly present knowledge in a much vivid way, but reading is more beneficial. If you want to improve your language skills and imagination, doing more reading is a much better choice.
总之，电视无疑可以生动地呈现知识，但阅读更有益处。如果你想提高你的语言技能和想象力，多阅读是好得多的选择。
解析
（1）结尾段，提出自己的观点：阅读是提高想象力和语言能力的办法。值得注意的是，在提出结论之前，本文先用一句提出了看电视的优势，这是雅思作文中常见的先扬后抑的写法。
（2）undoubtedly 毫无疑问地
（3）present 呈现
