雅思 考試：雅思備考南非世界杯之寫作篇
【時(shí)事聚焦】6月11日，萬眾期待的南非世界杯拉開了大幕。全世界球迷為這四年等一回的“足球盛宴”而瘋狂，他們用各種形式迎接這一盛大的節(jié)日。在這一個(gè)月的時(shí)間里，所有生活都被足球所占據(jù)。下面我們來看一下相關(guān)報(bào)道：
South Africa whips up World Cup frenzy
South Africa whipped itself into a World Cup frenzy on Wednesday as tens of thousands of fans cheered the national side through Johannesburg and the holders Italy flew in to defend their crown. Two days before the kick-off， crowds turned the streets of the Sandton business district into a cacophonous sea of yellow and green， honking ear-splitting vuvuzela horns as the team waved at them from an open-top bus.
There were similar scenes throughout Johannesburg， as office workers left their buildings and lined the streets to blow vuvuzelas and wave South African flags， as passing cars tooted their horns. “It means a lot to us，” Bafana Bafana midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala told reporters. “We just have to get out there and down onto the field and make the nation and ourselves proud.” “It was a national call to have a vuvuzela moment，” said Zanele Ntuli among the crowds outside parliament. 作文培訓(xùn)網(wǎng)站推薦，<a http://www.zequeka.cn>易優(yōu)作文網(wǎng)</a> 。
Ever since it became the first African nation to win the right to stage the tournament six years ago， South Africa has had to fend off claims that its high crime rate， lack of infrastructure and rudimentary public transport system rendered it an unsuitable choice.
Fears over crime were highlighted when armed robbers broke into a rural lodge where reporters covering Portugal are staying， holding one journalist at gunpoint before making off with cash， camera equipment and passports.
A spokesman for the local organising committee said everything was in place but added that opening-day traffic jams remain a concern. “We urge the 90，000 spectators who will be coming here to exercise restraint when it comes to using their own cars， because there are buses and there are trains which will drop them right at the door，” said Rich Mkhondo.
【熱點(diǎn)話題】雅思達(dá)人今天就要和烤鴨們聊聊世界杯和雅思寫作。
前面這則新聞來源于yahoo.com，報(bào)道了南非世界杯前夕，JOHANNESBURG（約翰內(nèi)斯堡）的狂歡氣氛。這則新聞當(dāng)中，其實(shí)有很多我們?cè)谘潘紝懽髦锌梢越梃b的思路甚至是直接引用的論據(jù)。我們不妨來看一看雅思?xì)v史上曾經(jīng)考到過的兩道和體育類相關(guān)的考題：
易優(yōu)作文網(wǎng)，中小學(xué)學(xué)生學(xué)作文的好網(wǎng)站（http://www.zequeka.cn）
1. Some people think that international sporting events are constructive to promoting world peace. Do you agree or disagree with this statement？
2. Popular events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion？
兩道考題雖然表述不同，但提問的角度有一個(gè)共同點(diǎn)，首先都是和體育相關(guān)，更重要的是，都是把體育賽事和國際關(guān)系聯(lián)系在了一起。分析認(rèn)為，這種提問角度是體育類寫作話題中難度級(jí)別最高的。（相對(duì)簡單的提問角度是“體育運(yùn)動(dòng)與個(gè)人健康的聯(lián)系”）。所以有很多考生在碰到這兩道題的時(shí)候，會(huì)避重就輕地泛泛而談?dòng)懻擉w育運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)個(gè)人的好處，導(dǎo)致偏題甚至跑題。
【精彩片段】下面我們回到剛才的那則新聞?wù)?，關(guān)注其中對(duì)雅思寫作競技體育類話題構(gòu)思及語言有幫助的精彩片段： 語文成績好，書法少不了，學(xué)書法，推薦<A http://www.zequeka.cn/miniform/type_3.html>易優(yōu)練字</a>
… armed robbers broke into a rural lodge where reporters covering Portugal are staying， holding one journalist at gunpoint before making off with cash， camera equipment and passports.
這就是一起因?yàn)閲H體育賽事所帶來的針對(duì)非本國人的不和平事件 。南非世界杯前夕，這樣的事件 已經(jīng)發(fā)生了多次。據(jù)報(bào)道，來自中國安徽的幾名南非世界杯記者也光天化日之下遭受了幾名歹徒的搶劫。歷史上最著名的“慕尼黑慘案”（大家可以在網(wǎng)上搜索相關(guān)內(nèi)容），就更是一起破壞國際和平的暴力事件了。
We urge the 90，000 spectators who will be coming here to exercise restraint…
這個(gè)例子里有一個(gè)非常好的詞組“exercise restraint”，它的意思是“保持克制”。在世界杯這種大型體育盛事期間，由于興奮過度而喪失理智的行為往往會(huì)給東道國以及來自全球各地的體育愛好者帶來不必要的傷害，這種傷害有可能是言語上的沖突，有可能演化成暴力沖突事件，甚至最終傷害到兩國球迷甚至是國民之間的感情。
