2019年11月02日雅思大作文题目:工作变化快的原因及应对措施The world of work is changing rapidly and people cannot depend on the same jobs or same conditions of work for life. Discuss the possible causes for this rapid change and give your suggestions on how people should prepare for work in the future.
解析&审题
本题是report题型，也就是先提出一个现象或问题，考生需要分析这个现象/问题产生的原因，并提出解决办法。这种题型相对是比较简单的，因为里面不涉及论述自己的观点。
本题提出的现象是：现在工作世界正在发生快速变化，人们不能一辈子只从事一件工作，或者在一个工作条件下工作一辈子。原因大家应该比较容易想到：这是由于技术的更新换代引起的。技术变化，对工作的需求就要发生变化，工作的环境也会发生变化。在论述这个的时候，我们应该能想出1-2个具体的例子。比如在建筑工地上（construction site），以前很多由人工来完成的工作现在都由机器来完成，这必然会导致很多建筑工人失业。
那么，面对这样一个局面，人们应该做哪些准备呢？首先，当然是要紧跟技术，掌握技术就等于掌握了未来，其次，是要学习人际沟通技巧，未来无论千变万化，人际关系总是无法被机器所取代，那些有很强的人际沟通能力的人会有更好的职业前景。

老师笔记
The world of work is in transition due mainly to automation enabled by technologies including robotics and artificial intelligence. Automation is replacing human tasks, changing the occupational skills that employers are looking for in their employees. Many jobs that people are doing today have the potential to be automated and disappear altogether. For instance, the traditional construction site needed a lot of workers, but now most of the construction work is done by machines. Obviously, working conditions today are not the same as before and many people can no longer rely on taking the same job for good.
工作领域正在发生转变，主要是由于技术引起的自动化，包括机器人技术和人工智能。自动化正在取代人工任务，改变了雇主们在其雇员中寻找的职业技能。今天人们所做的许多工作都有可能变成自动化，从而完全消失。例如,传统的建筑场地需要大量的工人，但现在大多数的施工工作都是由机器来完成的。显然，今天的工作条件与以前的情况不一样，许多人不能再依靠永远做同一件工作。

Given the potential of automation to put jobs at risk, people should prepare to remain employable in the future by learning communication skills while keeping steps with new technologies. Although automation may be affecting manufacturing jobs, the human touch must be one thing that technologies cannot replace. In addition to working with the ever advancing technologies, therefore, it is important to realize that excellent interpersonal skills may play a vital role in future job market. Examples are plenty. For an office worker, that could mean being able to communicate across departments. For someone in customer service, it is interacting with another human. For a care provider, it is the empathy to help someone in need. Acquiring communication skills can set oneself apart fromhis/her competitors in the new world of work.
鉴于自动化具有让人们失去工作的可能性，人们应该为未来能继续就业做准备，学习沟通技巧，同时与新技术保持同步。尽管自动化可能正在影响制造业的就业，但人类的接触肯定是技术所无法替代的。因此，除了掌握不断进步的技术，优质的人际交往技巧可能在未来的就业市场中起着至关重要的作用，认识到这一点也很重要。例子很多。对于办公室职员来说，这可能意味着能够跨部门沟通，对客户服务的人来说，它是与另一个人互动，对于一个护理提供者来说，它是帮助需要帮助的人的同情心。掌握沟通技巧可以使自己在新的工作世界中与竞争者区别开来。
解析
（1） 本段提出解决办法：除了适应新技术，还要提高与人沟通的能力。
（2） Put...at risk 让......处于危险之中
