雅思大作文题目：在家时间越来越少的原因及后果

“ Nowadays, many people spend less and less time at home. What are the reasons and what are the effects of this trend on individuals and on society?”

解析&审题

12月21日是一个报告类题目。这类题目通常比较好处理一些，因为不涉及到自己立论这个环节。

当今，很多人和家人一起的时间越来越少，这是为什么？有什么后果？这个话题我们不陌生。比如很多人喜欢和朋友一起在外聚会，认为这样有利于消除工作的压力和疲劳；有些人则是没有选择，他们必须要加班，或者出差，从而无法与家人相聚。把这些原因写出来，老雅觉得就够了。

至于这种趋势的影响，我们也可以从两个方面入手：一是对孩子的教育产生消极影响，二是对家庭关系产生家庭影响，而这两个影响一旦产生，就会对整个社会造成负面结果。

以下是考雅的高分范文。

老师笔记

01、The old tradition of spending as much time as possible together with family members seems irrelevant nowadays, as more and more people, willingly or unwillingly, cannot find time for their families.

如今，越来越多的人，不管是自愿还是不愿意，都找不到时间陪伴家人，因此，尽可能多地与家人在一起的古老传统似乎已不再适用。

解析

（1） 本段提出现象：越来越多的人没有时间来陪伴家人。

（2） Tradition 传统

（3） Irrelevant 不相关的

02、One reason for this trend is that many people think it is more relaxing to spend their off-work time with their friends in such places as tearooms or cafes. Listening to the light music, drinking coffee or tea, and casually chatting with their friends, they find that their fatigue, stress, and anxiety over a day's work are all gone. Intoxicated with this feeling, many people, especially the younger people, prefer to spend time in these places rather than going home.

这种趋势的一个原因是，许多人认为，在茶室或咖啡馆这样的地方，和朋友们一起度过工作之外的时间比较放松。听轻音乐，喝咖啡或茶，随便跟朋友聊天，他们发现他们对白天工作的疲劳、压力和焦虑都消失了。陶醉于这种感觉，很多人，尤其是年轻人，宁愿呆在这些地方而不愿回家。

解析

（1） 本段论证很多人不回家的原因之一：和朋友在外面聚会感觉更放松。

（2） Relaxing 放松的

（3） Casually 随意地

（4） Fatigue 疲劳

（5） Stress 压力

（6） Gone 消失的

（7） Intoxicate 使陶醉

03、Another important reason is that many people simply cannot spend as much time at home as before, even if they want to, because they face increasing pressure from work. Some may be forced to work extra hours, and others may have to travel long distances for a business contract. Brian, my friend in the management position of an international company, told me yesterday that he had been on business trips and not seen his wife and kids for three consecutive months!

另一个重要原因是，许多人即使愿意，也不能像以前那样在家里那么长时间，因为他们面临着越来越大的工作压力。有些人可能被迫加班，而另一些人则可能为了一份商业合同而不得不长途跋涉。我在一家国际公司担任管理职务的朋友布赖恩昨天告诉我，他一直在外出差，已经连续三个月没见到妻子和孩子！

解析

（1） 本段讨论人们不能在家的另外一个原因：因为工作原因不能留很多时间给家人。

（2） Work extra hours 加班

（3） Contract 合同

（4） On business trips 商务出差

（5） Three consecutive months 连续三个月

04、Personally, I do not think this is a positive trend. As is known to all, the presence of parents at home is key to the healthy development of their kids. Many children who cannot often see their parents show a symptom known as emotional deficiency. Meanwhile, this trend is also harmful to the family relationship. If they spend less and less time at home, the husband and wife may feel estranged from each other. When children are not well brought up, family relationship not well maintained, then the entire society will suffer.

就我个人而言，我不认为这是一个积极的趋势。众所周知，父母在家是孩子健康成长的关键。许多不能经常见到父母的孩子表现出一种叫做情绪缺失的症状。同时，这种趋势也对家庭关系造成了危害。如果他们花在家里的时间越来越少，夫妻可能会感到疏远。如果孩子没有得到很好的抚养，家庭关系也没有得到很好的维持，那么整个社会都会受到影响。

解析

（1） 本段讨论没有时间在家的影响，强调对个人和社会的影响。

（2） Positive 积极的

（3） As is known to all 众所周知

（4） Symptom 症状

（5） Deficiency 缺失

（6） Estrange 使疏远

（7） Bring up 抚养

（8） Maintain 维持
