【教育類】
Some people believe that children who are brought up in families which don't have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children brought up in wealthier families. To what extent do you agree or disagree?有人認為，比之出生在富裕家庭的孩子，出生在貧困家庭的孩子更能面對成人生活中遇到的困難，是否認同?
【創作感言】教育類為雅思恆熱考題，11月7日重複考察間隔年的利弊(A卷);父母和老師誰對於孩子的影響更大(B卷)，其他經典提問涉及到：「是否所有的父母都應該學習育兒培訓課程」，「窮爸爸和富爸爸的孩子誰更能面對人生的艱辛」，「是否沒有天賦的孩子不應該學習外語」等等，今日分享經典話題之一。
【頭腦風暴導言】
命運是有的，比如有人出身名門，有人出身寒門。人們說：「自古雄才多磨難，紈絝從來少偉男。」人們還說：「 虎父無犬子。」寒門貴子還是將門虎子，這也許是永無共識的爭議話題。 窮爸爸的孩子不能屈服於命運：命運給你一個比別人低的起點，是想告訴你，讓你用你的一生去奮鬥去出演一個絕地反攻的故事，這個故事關於夢想、關於奮鬥、關于堅忍。富爸爸的孩子不能安枕於命運：命運給你一個比別人高的起點，是想告訴你，讓你用你的一生的奮鬥去出演一個繼續奮勇的傳奇，這個故事關於家族、關於勵志、關於輝煌。
【作家立場】 儘管出身寒門的孩子可能會依賴自己的努力出類拔萃，出身富貴家庭的孩子更可能擁抱精彩的人生。
【思路拓展】
【為何窮爸爸的孩子能夠面對人生的艱辛】
1. 俗話說，「窮人的孩子早當家，」貧困家庭的孩子從小就習慣了逆境和挫折，不能更多地依賴父母，他們只能自強不息、披荊斬棘、出人頭地，因此，他們更加獨立、成熟、堅強，生活的困境可助他們面對成人生活的艱辛。
2. 對於家境貧困的孩子們而言，他們有更加強烈的願望改變命運，因此，他們有明晰的奮鬥目標， 從這個意義上講，他們有可能在奮鬥中鍛鍊各種能力，這些能力可助人成長。
【為何富爸爸的孩子更能擁抱輝煌的人生】
1. 貧困家庭孩子很多是自卑的、內向的，相反，富裕家庭的孩子通常是積極樂觀的，見多識廣的。豐富的閱歷和良好的心態有助於一個人面對人生的寒冷，學會堅強。
2. 家境殷實的孩子，通常可以接受精英教育，父母們也會潛移默化地給他們傳遞奮鬥的正能量，這可使他們學業輝煌，為事業打下堅實基礎。
3. 富爸爸們一般是來自精英階層，可以給孩子們提供最佳的人生指導、幫助他們建立良好的人脈網絡，成就事業的輝煌。

【範文賞析】
【首段】 背景介紹 + 爭議焦點 + 作家立場
We each have a destiny，some people are born into rich families，while others come from humble background. Perhaps no issue has led to such an endless debate to whether or not those who are raised by impoverished parents are more likely to brave the hardships when reaching adulthood in comparison with those who have financially richer parents. My stand is that although some children coming from poverty-stricken background might stand out in a crowd，it is better for children to be brought up in well-off families.
【解析】
1. We each have a destiny 命運是有的
2. come from humble background v出身寒門
3. Perhaps no issue has led to such an endless debate to whether or not …… 也許沒有什麼像是否……一樣引起人們無休止的爭議
4. brave the hardships when reaching adulthood v勇敢面對成人生活的艱辛
5. stand out in a crowd v出類拔萃
【二段】讓步原題觀點之合理性
I admit that a humble family background might have some positive roles to play in helping children ready themselves for adult life. For one thing, people of low or middle economic status often grow up to be self-made, mature and tenacious than those who are well-protected by affluent parents because they have to rely on honest hard work at early age. Harsh reality let them know they have no choice but to endeavor if they desire to outshine other peers. Hence, they have a deeper insight into the agonies of life. For another, poor children usually have burning desires to change their fates and thus they usually have a clear goal to strive for. Meanwhile, they are less likely to be frail or depressed when problems occur because they have been accustomed to the sense of failure and frustration
【解析】
1. ready themselves for adult life v為成人生活做好準備
2. self-made, mature and tenacious adj自強的，成熟的，堅韌的
3. have no choice but to endeavor v別無選擇，只能努力
4. outshine other peers v 超越同齡人
5. have a deeper insight into the agonies of life v對於生活的苦痛有更加深刻的洞察
6. have burning desires to change their fates v有強烈的改變人生命運的渴望
7. They have been accustomed to the sense of failure and frustration 他們對於失敗和挫折已經習以為常
【三段】反駁原題觀點之不合理
Fine parenting，however，has positive roles to play in one’s growth and future. People can, in most cases, become the beneficiaries of their comfortable family background. Initially, children from affluent families tend to be more extraverted and positive because they, comparatively speaking, have rich experience of the world and good state of mind. In this sense, they can remain cheerful even in time of adversity. Also, well-to-do parents usually come from elite class, thereby, their personal struggle experience will set a fine learning example for their children. Meanwhile, many successful parents usually render more concerns over children’s moral education, character-training. To illustrate, many eminent entrepreneurs attributed their achievements to family influence. The third merit of boring into a well-to-do family is that elite parents can provide their children with more financial support, which could help the children realize many rosy dreams. For example, well-born children could receive better education, acquire more skills and travel around the globe and so on.
【解析】
1. fine parenting n良好的家庭教育
2. become the beneficiaries of their comfortable family background. 成為富裕家庭的受益者
【點評】comfortable adj 富裕的;舒服的
3. comparatively speaking adv 比較而言
4. have rich experience of the world and good state of mind v擁有豐富的人生閱歷和良好的心態
5. remain cheerful even in time of adversity v即使身處逆境也保持樂觀
6. Personal struggle experience will set a fine learning example for their children 個人奮鬥的故事給孩子們樹立標杆
7. usually render more concerns over children’s moral education, character-training v通常更加重視孩子的道德教育和性格培養
8. Many eminent entrepreneurs attributed their achievements to family influence 很多精英企業家把自己的成功歸結為家庭的影響。
9. can provide their children with more financial support v給孩子們提供財政支持
10. receive better education, acquire more skills and travel around the globe v接受更好的教育、學習更多技能、環遊世界旅行
【尾段】再次亮明觀點 + 總結理由
Overall, it is no easy task to judge which family background will definitely determine one’s fortitude and maturity. My firm stand is still that although children coming from poor family background might become mature and tenacious more quickly, it is more lucky for children to be raised by financially richer parents.
【解析】
1. It is no easy task to judge which family background will definitely determine one’s fortitude and maturity 判斷何種家庭背景一定會決定一個人的堅毅和成熟，絕非易事
2. my firm stand is still that …… 我堅定的立場依然是……
3. It is more lucky for children to be raised by financially richer parents. 由家境殷實的父母培養的孩子更加幸運。
【全文點評】
雅思寫作，觀點無所謂對錯，只要能自圓其說。雅思寫作，考察的是作者頭腦風暴、謀篇布局、駕馭語言的能力。本篇選擇華麗文風寫作，展示作家文採。主題明確、淡化模板、思維辯證、有理有據，可為考生賞析之佳作。
功夫在詩外，積累在點滴。建議童鞋先打造個性化的樸素版範文，不急於追求文風之華美，先保證文字之精確、清晰、易懂，後期練筆，若能詞彙變化，句法多元，便是錦上添花。
