　　題目：

　　Some people suggest that young adults should be encourage to do some unpaid jobs for the community, do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for young people and the community? 有人建議我們應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)年輕人做義務(wù)的社區(qū)服務(wù)，是否認(rèn)為利大于弊?(經(jīng)典舊題，年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)的利弊)

　　雅思題庫中類似題目：

　　Unpaid community service, such as teaching local children sports skills, working for local charities and improving neighborhood relations, should be a compulsory part of secondary education. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 社區(qū)服務(wù)，例如教授孩子們體育技能，或者為慈善團(tuán)體工作，或者是提高社區(qū)關(guān)系，應(yīng)該成為中學(xué)教學(xué)大綱的一部分，是否認(rèn)同?

　　Young adults should undertake unpaid work to help people in the community. To what extent do you think it brings more drawbacks to the community and the young adults than benefits? 年輕人應(yīng)該被鼓勵(lì)去做社區(qū)服務(wù)，是否認(rèn)為弊大于利?(2006年9月23日)

　　思路拓展：

　　鼓勵(lì)年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)的利好：

　　1. 在服務(wù)社區(qū)過程中，年輕人會(huì)加深對于社會(huì)的洞察，學(xué)習(xí)如何有效地和人交流交往，積累相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)， 這些都可以為年輕人未來的擇業(yè)打下了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。

　　2. 從精神成長的角度而言，年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)，尤其是幫助孤兒院的兒童或者是老人院的老人，有助于培養(yǎng)一個(gè)人的愛心，責(zé)任心，同情心，進(jìn)而使人有一種積極善良的心態(tài)。

　　3.年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)，可以給社區(qū)帶來直接的幫助，緩解他們的工作壓力，也起到了示范的作用，鼓勵(lì)更多的人幫助社區(qū)。

　　年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)的弊端：

　　1.鼓勵(lì)年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)可能會(huì)分散學(xué)生們的精力，耽誤他們的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間，甚至成為一些孩子們貪玩的借口。

　　2. 各種社區(qū)服務(wù)也是有嚴(yán)格工作要求的，如果一些年輕人們?nèi)狈ι鐓^(qū)服務(wù)的知識(shí)，那么他們的工作不是幫忙，反而是添亂。

　　范文賞析：

　　首段：背景介紹 + 爭議焦點(diǎn) + 作家立場

　　It is a common practice that young students in numerous countries are required to embark on a period of voluntary community service work. However， peoples’ views differ greatly on this practice. To voice my opinion, those who are in the formative years should be motivated to undertake glorious community work, yet, its possible downsides should be emphasized

　　二段：鼓勵(lì)年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)的利好的展開：

　　Granted， seen from the positive aspects, some merits could be gained via encouraging young students to be involved in unpaid community service. The most glaring virtue is that those who assume the responsibility of community work could learn how to care about others and provide concrete assistance. Meanwhile, it will enhance their sense of social responsibility and cultivate their loving hearts. Still, one’s co-ordination ability, teamwork spirit and management ability could be promoted during the process of serving the community. Eventually, as for many city-born young people, it is the experience of community service that makes them become independent, sociable and cooperative.

　　三段：鼓勵(lì)年輕人做社區(qū)服務(wù)的弊端的展開：

　　Nonetheless，under no circumstances can we ignore the potential drawbacks triggered by introducing unpaid community service into secondary school curriculums . First, the unpaid community service will surely occupy the finite and precious time of the students, which can otherwise be used in learning or building their bodies. Further, a great many students are too young or inexperienced to cope with the complicated community service. In this sense, instead of doing the community a favor, their voluntary activity might add burden to the community.

　　尾段：再次亮明觀點(diǎn)

　　In closing, my stand is that although community service is a challenging task and might take up some time, the merits of encouraging students to do the community service outshine the demerits. Only by means of voluntary community work can we cultivate more and more responsible, well-behaved and caring social citizens.
