1月13日雅思大作文真题 :员工着装和工作品质有何关系？

　　2018年01月13日　雅思大作文题目

　　“Some people believe that employers should not be concerned about the way their employees dress, but they should be concerned about the quality at work. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

　　本题是近期难得的一个比较新的题目。题目问：在何种程度上你同意企业老板们不要在乎员工的着装问题，而是要专注员工的工作品质。

　　显然，这个题目是要求同时论述着装和工作品质，如果你仅论述其中一个方面（工作品质或着装），则不完全符合题目要求，也就是在task response方面有欠缺。本题可以采用如下结构：

　　1. 引言段 提出话题.

　　2. 中段A  The possible benefits of having a dress code as a corporate image, in relation to the quality of work 着装可能提高工作品质

　　3. 中段B.  The possible drawbacks of having a dress code, in relation to the quality of work. 着装可能破坏工作品质

　　4. 结论段  A dress code is mixed with benefits and drawbacks, so it’s up to employers themselves to decide whether their employees should follow a strict dress code.

　　老师笔记

　　01

　　Whether employers should be more concerned with their employees’dressing manner or their work quality has become a heated topic in recent years.

　　雇主应否更关注雇员的着装方式或工作质素，已成为近年的热门话题。

　　解析

　　（1）这是一个相当老套的开头法，但相当直接。

　　（2）be concerned about / with... 关注......; 关心......

　　（3）dressing manner 穿着方式

　　02

　　Some people believe that it is beneficial to have a dress code in the workplace, if only for image reasons. Workers may be asked to wear a uniform to communicate a corporate image and ensure that people easily identify them. This is particularly true to a workplace where employees have regular face-to-face contact with customers and clients. For this reason, nowadays an increasing number of workplaces prefer to set up a dress code and subtly promote the visual uniformity. While it is hard to determine how the visual uniformity is related to quality at work, having a dress code in place may help the way a corporation wants to be perceived.

　　有些人认为在工作场所有着装规范是有益的，哪怕仅仅是因为形象的原因。员工可能被要求穿着制服，以传达公司形象，并确保人们很容易识别他们。对于一个员工定期与顾客和客户进行面对面接触的工作场所来说，情况尤其如此。由于这个原因，现在越来越多的工作场所喜欢设置着装规范，巧妙地促进视觉统一性。虽然很难确定视觉统一性与工作质量有何关系，但设置着装规范可能会帮助公司希望被人感知的方式。

　　解析

　　（1）本段论述着装规范对工作质量的好处：至少可以建立公司形象。写作时，需要确定每段写作的中心，然后围绕这个中心组织论据。

　　（2）dress code 着装标准/规范

　　（3）if only 即使仅仅是......

　　（4）communicate 传达；交流

　　（5）ensure 确保

　　（6）identify 识别

　　（7）for this reason 为了这个原因

　　（8）subtly 巧妙地

　　（9）uniformity 统一性

　　（10）perceive 感知；认识

　　03

　　However, some people think that having a strict dress code may actually affect the employees’ quality at work. One of its biggest downsides is that a strict dress code can stifle individuality since workers are not given total freedom to demonstrate their personal styles. Sometimes employees complain that a dress code causes feelings of stress among themselves andconsequently leads to lower effectiveness and efficiency at work.

　　然而，有些人认为严格的着装规定实际上会影响员工的工作质量。严格的着装规定的一个的缺点是它可能扼杀个性，因为员工没有充分的自由来展示他们的个人风格。有时，员工抱怨着装规范会导致他们之间的压力感，从而导致工作效度和效率的下降。

　　解析

　　（1）本段讨论着装可能对工作效率的负面影响，讨论了两个方面：一是扼杀个性，二是增加压力。

　　（2）downside 缺陷；消极的方面

　　（3）stifle 扼杀

　　（4）individuality 个性

　　（5）demonstrate 展示

　　（6）consequently 结果；从而

　　04

　　In conclusion, employers should be concerned about the quality at work, but whether a dress code makes sense for a workplace is a question only employers can answer. With quality of work in mind, it is up to every employer to decide whether he should care about the way his employees should dress.

　　总之，雇主应该关心工作的质量，但着装规范是否对工作场所有意义是雇主才能回答的问题。只要把工作质量放在心里，是否应该关心员工该穿什么样的衣服，就由雇主自己来决定了。

　　解析

　　（1）结论段，提出工作质量是位的，但员工到底该怎样衣着，无法确定，只能由雇主自己来决定。

　　（2）make sense 有意义

　　（3）with...in mind 记住......；把......放在心中

　　（4）it’s up to... 由......来决定
