IELTS Essay: EQ and IQ

社交技巧与合格资历

2012年1月14日雅思写作真题+范文+解析

海外大学教师谢振礼Jeenn Lee Hsieh投稿

#前言笔记：

雅思与托福写作测验全算是难题，所以烤鸭使用英文的能力假若不高，那简直更是难上加难。内行的中教也一样承认每一道试题都很不容易下手，于是部分名师倾向猜题分析，真是说得头头是道，但就是不愿写范文。其实连教英语的老外都懒得动手，声声推辞，纷纷叫烦！当然困难的英文不可能变得容易，倒是作文的格式可以简而化之--采用隐形模板。

2012年1月14日的A类真题如下，如有出入当以原试题为准。真题问：这年头在就业市场上，社交技巧与合格资历是不是一样重要？

答题举例：考生先定立场而生主题。开头第一句申论主题：二者都同样重要。第二句：集中焦点：如果光靠资历，但是缺乏社交技巧则难以鹤立鸡群。第三句：一分为二：分两点--求职与升官的优势。

所有的论说文的唯一题型是冲突，没有例外。谢振礼老师认为合格资历与社交技巧毫无冲突。焦点在于具有社交技巧与缺乏社交技巧的抽象冲突。抽象化就是用想象力搞比喻的能事。把合格资料比为IQ，又把社交技巧比作EQ。IQ与EQ早已经是口头禅，考生考官都清楚无误。

#心图大纲，圆形逻辑，四段18句：起3承6转6合3

起--社交技巧+合格资历=求职与工作的优势。

承--社交技巧造成求职应征的优势。

转--社交技巧造成工作升职的优势。

合--求职与升职=社交技巧+合格资历。

#雅思真题>Nowadays it is widely accepted that social skills are as important as good qualifications.  Do you agree or disagree?

Example Writing Task 2:

When it comes to employment, qualifications as the intelligence quotient (IQ) always matter; and in addition, gaining social skills as the emotional quotient (EQ) is useful for one to stand out from the crowd. Those who want to make themselves desirable employees may be wise to focus on their social skills since it is no longer enough for people to rely on good qualifications. Qualifications being not the issue, social skills can make a difference when competing for employments and promotions.

In the first place, the importance of social skills can be noted in today's typical job interviews.  In fact, it is commonly accepted that the EQ is often directly tied to the degree of success one may have in the workplace.  In terms of employability, to be successful the emotional abilities are as important as the intelligent abilities.  That is probably why IQ testing is administered not very frequently these days.  In comparison, some companies are testing the EQ instead to measure one's adequacy in such areas as self-awareness, empathy, and dealing sensitively with other people.  This kind of exam is increasingly popular because employers try to keep away some job seekers who appear to be inclined to take a more negative attitude toward social inter-relationships.

Obviously, some employees with better social skills stand better chances of being promoted to higher job levels, for good reasons.  As valuable as qualifications, social skills may determine one's well-being and effectiveness both at work and in life.  Whether in verbal or nonverbal forms,  the opposite of social skills is social ineptitude, roughly meaning the lack of a set of personal skills to communicate, relate and socialize with others.  In plain words, employees in higher positions usually have made themselves good communicators for being able to be at ease, converse fluidly, grasp social "rituals" such as what to say, when to say and how to say it in certain situations.  On the other hand, some other employees, although having high IQs as well, do not seem to be particularly adept at maintaining social interactions and seem socially shy or awkward at best.  This viewpoint goes to imply why, among employees with similar concepts of literacy and numeracy and knowledge, some happen to excel others from beginning to end.

Qualifications plus social skills can be one of the best formulas for one's career success, the IQ and the EQ being equally crucial in the modern job market.  Ignoring social skills may often lead to undue conflict or disharmony when working as a group because there are circumstances under which logical reasoning alone could not entirely tackle day-to-day sensitive problems.  So, as long as employability is concerned, there is no "either/or" question but the answer must necessarily be "both." [By Jeenn Lee Hsieh ]

#复习隐形模板的运用。真题+范文+公式

回忆2011年1月12日雅思A类写作试题大意：城乡设立图书馆的必要。复习隐形模板的操作运用。强迫自己18句，不多不少，其用意在于知道写作路程的远近，但求心里有数，如此动作才会快。东张西望，想西想东的考生容易陷于彷徨不前，终于跑题，半途而废。

隐形模板的公式既定，作文也变得简单多了。其它的问题是英文的问题。英文的问题就是造句的问题。从头到尾都是造句的工作。

>Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town.  Others, however, believe that it is a waste of money since the public can use the Internet at home to obtain information.  Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

4. At this information age, the diversified advantages of using the Internet are only too obvious.  （招牌句）
