3月18日的雅思考题没有为难大家。又是一个2014年的老题再现。纵使考生此前对这道老题不甚了解，其实究其内容而言，本题难度也十分有限。关于孩子看电视的事情，无论是A类还是G类考试都是老生常谈的内容了。

原题如下：Children can learn effectively from watching television. Therefore，children should be encouraged to watch television regularly both at home and at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20170318

本题尽管难度有限，但是题干中的一个副词regularly还是给人很多遐想。

Without any hesitation, people nowadays can readily list a great number of possibly negative impacts caused by watching television. This is why the illusion exists that watching television for children is the taboo both at school and home. Eventually, utilizing television appropriately as a means of education is the choice with wisdom.

首段，不仅介绍了背景和点明题目。还在此基础上，清晰地表达了笔者的立场。

On each weekday school children have to spend at least 8 hours at school with listening to their teachers’ talking and reading textbooks. What can arouse students’ interest to learning is not what their teachers impart to them, but is vivid pictures, animation and sound that students can easily gain from watching television instead of their teachers. Thus, through watching television at school, these children can grasp both knowledge and relaxation simultaneously.

主段一，重点强调了在学校看电视对于学生们的好处。本段的论证，并未提及有规律与否。为下文埋下伏笔。

After school, children often have quite much free time to do whatever they want to do, which to some extent can be thought as a serious issue for parents who have no sufficient time to be with their kids. Children sometimes unconsciously do things that might hurt other people or even themselves, without adequate supervision and guidance from their parents. Permission of watching television for children is undoubtedly a rational method to keep them sit in the living room safely, and furthermore what children can learn from watching television is always far more useful than what their parents can teach them at home.

主段二，与上段类似，阐述了在家看电视的好处。也是未提及有规律地观看与否。

Contrarily, objectors to children’s watching television do have plenty of convincing opinion to deny what has been discussed above. Notwithstanding, all negative influence of watching television for children can be avoided once children are totally under control of their teachers and parents. What children should watch and how long time they are allowed to sit in front of television ought to be restrained to prevent children from any possible harm.

本段为让步段。实则重点在强调何为有规律地观看，既是规定时间的同时还得限制观看的内容。以此确保孩子不受到电视的负面影响。

Judging television with only focusing on its adverse aspect is completely unfair. Briefly, watching television regularly both at school and home can be regarded as an effective and advantageous assistant for teachers and parents.

结尾段，再次强调了笔者的观点。有规律地看电视，可以被认为是对老师和家长们的辅助。
