Art classes like painting and drawing are important to students’ development and should be made compulsory in high school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2017年雅思開(kāi)山之“作”就是一道舊題重現(xiàn),，原題出現(xiàn)在2014年12月20日,，似乎預(yù)示著2017年雅思寫(xiě)作即將開(kāi)始2014、2015年原題的重現(xiàn)之旅,！

本題問(wèn)：藝術(shù)課程（比如繪畫(huà)）對(duì)學(xué)生的發(fā)展非常重要,，那么是否應(yīng)該在高中成為必修課？

這個(gè)問(wèn)題可能真的見(jiàn)仁見(jiàn)智,。贊同者會(huì)認(rèn)為,，藝術(shù)課程可以幫助高中生走出自我天地（go out of their shell)交到更多朋友,，幫助他們鍛煉智力從而提到其學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)，甚至還可以幫助學(xué)生鍛煉性格等,；反對(duì)者則會(huì)認(rèn)為,，藝術(shù)課程不能幫助學(xué)生找工作，因此是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間,，而且很多學(xué)生不喜歡藝術(shù),，強(qiáng)迫他們學(xué)習(xí)不會(huì)有任何好處。

那么,，就這個(gè)問(wèn)題,，我們的觀點(diǎn)似乎可以采取折中路線：藝術(shù)課程應(yīng)該成為高中必修課，但應(yīng)該限制課時(shí)數(shù),，同時(shí)大力發(fā)展藝術(shù)方面的俱樂(lè)部,，讓那些對(duì)藝術(shù)真正感興趣的學(xué)生能夠得到發(fā)展，同時(shí)又不過(guò)多浪費(fèi)那些的確沒(méi)有藝術(shù)天分學(xué)生的時(shí)間和精力,。

7分范文

When the news came that art classes such as music, painting and drawing would be made mandatory in my high school, it was met with both approvals and objections. This mixed responses reflect the different attitudes towards the role of art in the education of high school students.

當(dāng)消息傳來(lái),，我所在的高中里，諸如音樂(lè),、繪畫(huà)等的藝術(shù)課程將被列為必修課,，贊同和反對(duì)皆有。這種混雜的反應(yīng)表明,，關(guān)于高中教育中藝術(shù)的作用,，人們的態(tài)度不一致。

(1) 本次使用了一個(gè)具體事件來(lái)作為話題的引入,。7分作文需要避免使用已經(jīng)被過(guò)度使用的模板開(kāi)頭法,，比如with the development of...; when it comes to...; nowadays there is a heated discussion about...
(2) 本文的“必修課”是一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞，英語(yǔ)里有三個(gè)詞可以表達(dá)這個(gè)意思：mandatory, required, compulsory
(3) approval 贊同
(4) objection 反對(duì)


Those who stand up for art classes argue that art is so important to the students’ development that it should be made compulsory. By taking art classes, students may come out of their shell socially and make friends with those with similar interests. Furthermore, rather than a waste of time, taking art classes can actually help students with other subjects such as maths and physics. The theory is that art can help exercise our mental power (imagination, for example) and make us smarter. More importantly, art calls forpersistent practice and unyielding stamina, which are also important qualities that we expect our students to possess.

贊同藝術(shù)課程的人認(rèn)為,，藝術(shù)對(duì)學(xué)生的成長(zhǎng)非常重要,，因此應(yīng)該成為必修課。通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)藝術(shù)課,，學(xué)生可以走出自我束縛,，與具有相同興趣的人交朋友,。而且,，上藝術(shù)課不僅不是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，更能幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)和物理等其他課程,，其理論是藝術(shù)能幫助我們鍛煉心智力（比如,，想象力），讓我們變得更聰明,。更重要的是,，藝術(shù)需要堅(jiān)持不懈的練習(xí)和永不放棄的耐力,，而這些也正是我們期待學(xué)生擁有的重要素質(zhì)。

（1）本段論述藝術(shù)課應(yīng)該成為必修課的理由,。請(qǐng)注意觀察排列這三個(gè)理由的順序,，以及對(duì)每一個(gè)理由的論述。
（2）stand up for 贊同,；支持
（3）come out of one’s shell 走出自我束縛
（4）persistent 堅(jiān)持不懈的
（5）unyielding 不放棄的
（6）stamina 毅力

Objections of art classes as required mainly come from those who think art classes are a waste of time because they are not useful to students. Except for the very few who may take art as their lifelong career, the great majority of students will not get a job in relation to art when they finish their high school. Besides, what is the point of compelling a student who has no interest in art to spend many hours restlessly in the art classes?

反對(duì)將藝術(shù)課程列為必修的聲音主要來(lái)自那些人,，他們認(rèn)為藝術(shù)課程是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，因?yàn)樗鼈儗?duì)學(xué)生沒(méi)有用處,。除了極少數(shù)學(xué)生會(huì)將藝術(shù)作為終身事業(yè),，絕大多數(shù)學(xué)生高中畢業(yè)后都不會(huì)從事任何與藝術(shù)相關(guān)的工作。此外,，如果一個(gè)學(xué)生對(duì)藝術(shù)不感興趣,，那么強(qiáng)迫他在藝術(shù)課上心神不寧地坐幾個(gè)小時(shí)有什么意義？

(1) 本段相反的觀點(diǎn),，即藝術(shù)課程不能作為必修課：首先,，藝術(shù)課對(duì)大多數(shù)同學(xué)沒(méi)有實(shí)際用處；其次,，很多同學(xué)對(duì)藝術(shù)不感興趣,。
(2) except for 除了......之外
(3)in relation to 與......相關(guān)
(4) compel 強(qiáng)迫；迫使
(5) restlessly 心神不安地


To my mind, art classes should become compulsory in high school. The objective of education is not just to let students acquire the basic practicalsurvival skills, but to prepare them for the future life, both physically and mentally. With this in mind, we can safely conclude that the time spent on art will be rewarding in the long run. Of course, the schools should be very careful when deciding on the required hours that should be spent on art classes.

在我看來(lái),，藝術(shù)課應(yīng)該成為高中的必修課,。教育的目的不僅是讓學(xué)生獲得基本實(shí)用的生活技能，而且是從身體上和精神上為他們的未來(lái)生活做好準(zhǔn)備,。理解這一點(diǎn)后,，我們就可自信的作出結(jié)論，花在藝術(shù)上的時(shí)間從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看會(huì)有回報(bào)的,。當(dāng)然,，到底要求學(xué)生在藝術(shù)上花多少時(shí)間，學(xué)校在做這個(gè)決定時(shí)應(yīng)該非常小心,。

(1) to my mind 在我看來(lái)
(2) survival skills 求生技能,；生活技能
(3) rewarding 有回報(bào)的
