　　雅思大作文题目

　　广泛使用新技术让年轻人更容易找工作吗？

　　“The increasing use of technology in the workplace has made it easier for young people to find jobs and harder for older people to do so. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

　　解析&审题

　　本题问：工作场所广泛使用技术让年轻人比年纪大的人更容易找到工作，你是否同意？

　　可以看到，本题的题干中包含了一个因果关系，即“工作场所广泛使用技术”导致“年轻人更容易找到工作”。因此，这是一个“因果关系” 的题目。就这类题目，我们很不错对“因”和“果”都做出反应。比如，我们可以承认“因”，但否认这个“因”必然导致那个“果”。当然，我们也可以直接否认“因”，因此也就否认“果”了。

　　对于“因果关系”类题目，我们一般采取以上The first种做法，即承认“因”，但不承认“果”。就本题而言，我们可以承认“工作场所现在的确广泛使用了新科技”，并承认这种情况有可能导致年轻人更容易找工作，但接下来就要反向思维，讨论广泛使用新科技并不absolute导致年纪大的人不容易找工作，事实上，年纪大的人在工作市场上有其自身优势，比如工作更投入，更有经验（甚至有些年纪大的人也能学会使用新科技）。

　　These days, young people seem to find it easier to get employed than the older ones. One possible reason why this happens is that young workers are mostly “tech-smarter” than their older counterparts. This notion does make sense because sometimes the older persons just cannot “do” technology: not being able to figure out how to use a smart-phone or send email, for example. Since the age factor matters in the workplace that particularly stresses the use of technology, job applicants in their 20s are preferred for being “digital natives” and those in their 30s are acceptable for being “tech-savvy.” Nevertheless, those in their 40s areseldom tolerated, not to mention those in their 50s or older who are likely to have trouble adapting to new tricks.

　　如今，年轻人似乎比年纪大的人更容易找到工作。这种情况发生的一个可能的原因是，年轻人比他们的老同事更“技术聪明”。这一看法很有道理，因为有时年纪大一些的人就是不能“搞”技术：例如，弄不清楚如何使用智能手机或发送电子邮件。由于年龄因素在特别强调技术使用的工作场所很重要，20多岁的求职者受人欢迎，因为他们是“数字化土著人”，30多岁的求职者也被人接受，因为他们是“技术能手”。然而，40多岁的求职者很少被容忍，更不用说50多岁或以上的求职者了，因为他们很可能无法适应新玩意。

　　解析

　　(1) 本段回应题目中的观点：新技术的使用的确让适应新技术的年轻更容易找到工作。

　　(2) counterparts 对应的人或物

　　(3) Figure out 弄清楚；理解

　　(4) Savvy 有见识的；有知识的；精通的

　　(5) Tolerate 容忍

　　(6) Not to mention... 更不用说......

　　(7) Have trouble doing... 做......有困难

　　However, it does not necessarily mean that the young are always in the better position to find a job simply because they better at new technologies. Many older people can actually get used to using technology skills if they are given the opportunity to do so. Moreover, according to a survey, workers aged 40 and up are among the most engaged members of the workforce, even though most of them would learn less, remember less, and take longer to master technology skills than do most younger workers. The same survey has also revealed that many employed older people are able to combine what they have learned in technologywith seasoned communication skills in real life. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the average age of an outstanding entrepreneur is 45, not 25, and there are more top-ranking managers over 50 than 35.

　　然而，这并不一定意味着年轻人仅仅是因为擅长新技术就总是更能找到工作。实际上，如果有机会，许多老年人可以习惯于使用技术技能。更重要的是，根据一项调查，40岁及以上的工人是劳动力中最投入的，尽管相比于多数更年轻的工人而言，他们大多数人学习更少，记住更少，掌握技术技能需要更长时间。同一项调查还显示，许多就业的年龄大一些的人能够将他们学到的技术知识与在现实生活中丰富的沟通技巧结合起来。因此，杰出企业家的平均年龄是45岁，而不是25岁，50岁以上的高等管理人员多于35岁，这不足为奇。

　　解析

　　(1) 本段回应对题目观点进行反驳：新技术技能并不是找工作的决定因素，因此年轻人并不会因为会新技术而更容易找到工作。

　　(2) To be in the position to do... 能够做......

　　(3) Engaged 热心的；投入的

　　(4) Combine A with B 将A和B结合起来

　　(5) Seasoned 丰富的；老道的

　　(6) It should come as no surprise that... ......是不足为奇的

　　03

　　To sum up, conventional thinking assumes that older job-seekers are relatively not as “tech-savvy” as younger ones. To my mind, however, “tech” and “old” are not opposites, and there are far more factors than technology skills to consider in the decision of the employers.

　　综上所述，传统思想认为，老年求职者与年轻求职者相比，没有那么“技术精通”。然而，在我看来，“技术”和“老”并不是对立的，而且在雇主的决定中，考虑的因素远不止技术技能这一项。

　　解析

　　(1) 本段结论，重申自己的观点。

　　(2) assume 认为；假设

　　(3) Job seekers 求职的人

　　(4) To my mind 我认为
