　　22023年3月11日雅思大作文范文及解析

　　Introduction

　　Going forward in such fast-changing times, some people may argue that history can no long bring us tangible benefits, while I am a strong believer in the indispensable role history plays in helping us better understand the present.

　　解析

　　历史相关的考题整体比较抽象，论证过程中可以适当增加具象例子来证明;审题时注意题目中前者观点包含绝 对化的词nothing，因此自己的观点建议选择后者;同时要注意后者观点中带有限定信息help to better understand the present;

　　tangible adj.切实的;实际的;

　　Body 1

　　Those who harbour the view that history has nothing or little to tell us believe the past and the present are not correlated. As is argued by them, the whole world, ushered by cutting-edge technologies, have been undertaking breathtaking changes, which means hardly can brief historical summaries play midwife to contemporary researches. For instance, a breakthrough in nuclear fusion to set us on a path to an energy system purged of fossil fuel relies heavily on technological progress, instead of historic experience and reference.Also, old traditions, incongruous in our democratic age, should be abandoned. Convincing examples are traditional deep-rooted preference for boys over girls and institutional racism, which stand for nothing and serve no purpose for the prosperity and harmony of the modern age.

　　解析

　　一些人认为学习历史没有用：

　　(1)世界在不断变化，很多现代社会待突破的问题更大程度上依赖于高科技还不是过去的历史;

　　(2)很多过去的老旧传统观念跟不上时代的节奏和发展也是需要摒弃的，对现代社会的和谐稳定毫无意义;

　　usher v.引领;

　　breathtaking adj.令人惊叹的;令人震惊的;

　　play midwife to v.有助于;促进;

　　purge v.清除;排除;

　　incongruous adj.不和谐的;不一致的;

　　institutional adj.根深蒂固的;

　　Body 2

　　From my perspective, however, in no sense should we brush aside boons of history. Taking history as a mirror can be of paramount importance to understand the present and look into the future by shying away from making the same blunder. For example, history shows us that the world stood poised between peace and war while nations benefit from engagement that is grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect rather than wars and conflicts. Drawing on the experience of the past, people in modern age, accordingly, cherish peace and commit to the peaceful and harmonious living environment. By learning history, people can also be fully informed about the evolution as well as the traditional culture of the country, with which young generations are more likely to develop a sense of belonging and enhance their sense of identity, going forward on a path to disseminate and carry forward their own culture.

　　解析

　　个人认为：

　　(1)以史为鉴可以避免重蹈覆辙;

　　(2)学习历史能够让现代的人们了解一个国家的发展与传统文化从而人们才有可能会有民族自豪，才会去弘扬自己国家的文化;

　　brush aside v.漠视;不顾;

　　boon n.优势;有用的东西;

　　take history as a mirror v.以史为鉴;

　　paramount adj.至为重要的;至高无上的;

　　shy away from v.回避;躲避;

　　blunder n.愚蠢的错误;疏忽;

　　poised adj.处于中间的;平衡的;

　　disseminate v.散布;传播;

　　Conclusion

　　In a nutshell, never should we advocate turning a blind eye to the significance of leaning history not only in understanding the present but in future exploration.
