　　雅思大作文题目

　　看电视打游戏对孩子心智能力是好还是坏？

　　“Nowadays, children spend a lot of time watching TV and playing computer games. Some people believe this has negative effects on children's mental abilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

　　

 

　　解析&审题

　　连续两周都在围绕“孩子”来命题了。上周要求大家讨论的是新技术改变了孩子们课余活动方式，而本周则讨论看很多电视和打很多游戏对孩子心智发展的影响。本题与2015年10月24日考题比较接近。

　　题目中有三个关键词：children, watch TV / play computer games, mental abilities. 我们的讨论需要围绕这三个关键词：必须讨论孩子（不能大学生或成人），必须讨论看电视/打游戏（不是其他活动），心智发展（不能讨论对身体的影响）。

　　在这三个关键词中，可能将mental abilities（心智能力）具体讨论下去对某些同学来说存在一定困难。其实，心智能力是非常宽泛的，涉及与我们心理相关的所有能力，比如想象能力、学习能力、解决问题的能力、逻辑思考、情感体验能力，等等。只要突破了对“心智能力”的理解，本题就比较容易写作了。比如，我们可以说看电视/打游戏可能有助于我们的想象能力和解决问题的能力，但对我们的学习能力和逻辑思维能力则可能有害。这样，我们就可以在本题的写作中体现出雅思考试中相当重要的“批判思维”的技巧了。

　　However, it does not mean children should completely avoid watching TV or playing computer games. In the case of watching TV, with good content, it can be educational and informative, like good food to feed children’s hungry brain. Studies show that children who watch selected (non-violent) TV programs do better in reading and math tests than those who do not. Further, playing games can give children’s brain a real workout because the skills required to win involve high-level mental abilities which are not even taught at school.
