传达真题回忆的网友考雅思,也准备考托福。发问二者写作单项评分的比较。按猫头鹰的观察,托福写作的评分比较放宽,专注表现好的部分,不重视英文小错误。在范文之后,特别节录两种考试评分的比较。
 
旧题重现,角度变更(2012年8月11日雅思大作文试题‘青年失业’), 一下子问好几个问题:原因,影响,解决。不容易做到有问必答,更不容易提出让自己也满意的回答。
 
全面回答试题的结果,不同的时间,不同的考场,不同的心境,也许100个考生就有不止1000种答案。所以以下范文只能作为一个参考。


 
Essay Topic (类似真题):
 
A large number of young people are leaving school but cannot find a job.  What problems will the youth unemployment cause for individuals as well as for society? What measures should be taken to reduce the unemployment level among young people? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
 
 
 
》Example Writing(实验范文):
By Jeenn Lee Hsieh 谢振礼老师
 
The world is in for a worsening youth unemployment, with its causes resembling their consequences.  It goes without saying that youth unemployment needs to be tackled urgently, but this important task is anything but easy.  However, if the microeconomic theory is of any use at all, it must include explanations, but also solutions to such problems as are affecting school leavers as individuals and society as the labor market.
 
In a time of the economic recession, there is always a high jobless rate among young people, compared to the overall unemployment rate.  This may explain in part why a large number of young people who are leaving school find it difficult to get a job.  Particularly, youth unemployment spells a variety of hardships in a society that is powerless to create jobs.  As unemployment balloons, competition among young individuals for jobs also rises, hence further pushing the society in general to tighten its belt, among other unpopular measures.  Being part of a vicious economic cycle , massive unemployment carries an emotional toll, often too complex to define and too heavy a burden for the so-called 'scarred generation' to bear with hope and dignity.  In view of this situation, if little or nothing could be done soon enough to reduce the unemployment level, the society's law and order would be at risk, referring, as an example, to a link between youth unemployment and youth crime.
 
Unfortunately, ways to create jobs for young people seem to be mostly slow and often ineffective, and worse still, widely divided as an economic issue. For instance, some governments decide to take austerity measures, contrary to the argument that to cut public spending in the presence of high unemployment would be to ignore the lessons of history that are specifically not in favor of  young people looking for jobs.  At another point, the expectation that private employers would be able to hire enough to bring youth unemployment down remains only an expectation and not a cure-all for graduate unemployment.  Neither is entrepreneurship a promising option for graduate employment because the precarious character of working for oneself does not suit everybody.  On the other hand, not every school leaver acquires sufficient skills needed for the labor market, which implies that part of the long-term pro-job campaign should begin at school in the first place.  Further, the supply and demand of jobs for young people are apparently out of steps, as seen in some societies that face a lack of personnel in technology and natural sciences, but have a surplus of students in human and social sciences.
 
All in all, those are challenges for individuals and the society as a whole in the light of the current economic recession in which young graduates are being severely affected.  Accordingly, efforts from all sectors should lead to the assurance that the next decade would be one of growth and not of high unemployment.  Here are the problems, and it seems that the last thing to do is to embrace nature's cure and wait them out.  (Essay created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh,essay3663@hotmail.com )
