2018年1月20日唐老雅雅思真题7分作文解析

今天和烤鸭宝宝们来回顾以下2018年1月20日的雅思写作考试。

广之旅精英教育出国考试研究院唐院长要给大家分享7分雅思作文要如何写。

我们首先来看看1月20日的雅思作文题：

Today advertising can be seen everywhere in daily life. It has influenced what people think is important and sometimes has negative effects on people’s life. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

唐院长发现本次考试是关于广告和我们思维方式之间的关系，是2013年5月16日的原题重现。纵观雅思近年考试，广告类话题出现频率很高，建议备考雅思的同学们可以多关注这个话题。

本次考试要求我们讨论广告与我们的思维方式之间的关系。具体地说，本次考试要求大家讨论广告如何影响我们对“生活中什么是重要的”这一问题的思考，同时讨论这如何对我们的生活产生消极影响。

因此，本题一定要切入讨论“生活中什么是重要的”，广告如何影响我们对这个问题的思考并由此给我们的生活带来什么样的负面作用。可能很多同学没有认真阅读题目的前面部分，只将重点放在后半部分，只讨论广告的消极影响而不联系“生活中什么是重要的”，这样就很容易偏题。那么，广告如何影响我们对“生活中什么是重要的”（what we think is important）这个问题的思考呢？

我们知道广告在给我们提供商品信息的同时，也在无形中制造了我们的欲望，让我们养成消费的习惯，认为不停消费就是生活，但事实上，过分的消费主义让我们产生无休止的渴望，从而对自己的生活现状不满足，产生不幸福的感觉，同时还可能让我们为了满足物质需要而犯罪。因此，广告的确是必要的，但作为消费者，我们应与广告保持一定距离，避免被被广告洗脑而进行非理性消费。

唐院长推荐一篇雅思7分范文：

Nowadays we cannot go anywhere without seeing advertisements of one kind or another. The penetration of advertising into our life has gone so far that sometimes we even feel amazed by its ubiquity. Advertising is, of course, very useful, informing us about what to buy, where to buy and how to buy, but it also has negative effects, especially by transforming what we regard as important in our life.

Surrounded by advertisements, we can easily be led to a belief that our life is all about buying things. This widespread consumerism can persuade us into buying many things we do not really need on the one hand, and make us less content with what we have on the other, and crave hopelessly for those unattainable commodities. I still remember a few days ago when walking in front of a supermarket, I saw how a little girl, with her eyes glued to an advertising board, pestered her mother for the expensive toy on it that her mother apparently could not afford. Advertising, then, while providing us with useful commodities information, also creates the unwanted desire at our heart and makes us unhappy.

Meanwhile, lured by the promises of advertising, some people may choose to commit crimes, which then causes a lot of social problems. A student, for instance, may rob his classmate of an iPhone 8, for he has been told by advertising that iPhone 8 is superior to its previous versions. Likewise, an official may take bribery to buy an expensive house by the lake because the advertising says the luxury of living there is superb.

Seen in this light, advertising can affect our way of thinking about life and we, therefore, should be cautious about its negative influences while enjoying the benefits it brings us. (296 words)
