剑桥12 Task 2 高分范文
At the present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?
初初看到这道题目，无忧小雅哥的内心是拒绝的。小雅姐的内心也是崩溃的。平时写人口老龄化的问题较多，但是突然之间要写“年轻人多过老年人”的好处和坏处，内心也是一惊，思维和观点方面都需要重新构思一遍。
*注意：题目是advantages outweigh disadvantages， 所以大家一定要记得好处和坏处都需要提及，然后再写明outweigh的问题。漏掉任何一个方面，都会导致失分。
The contemporary world has been seeing a unique demographic in some countries which have a more youthful population. In my opinion, the advantages of this phenomenon outweigh the disadvantages.
这段Introduction，复述了题目的背景，并同时给出了自己的观点。虽然这段话只有短短的两句话，但是可谓是“功能齐全”。无忧雅思给大家highlight出了一些值得摘录学习的短语以及句型，比如大家以后在写作文的时候，就可以用上了哦~
· contemporary: adj. 当代的，同一时代的
· youthful: adj. 年轻的 特别要注意这个词的发音：['juːθfʊl; -f(ə)l]，同时要注意的还有youth这个词,同样不要读错~
Having a population misbalance between the old and young, with more of the latter, could encompass certain disadvantages. Old people, in general, are more experienced and have accumulated years of knowledge and exposure that they can pass along generations. With less old people in the population, there might be a drain of knowledge. For example, in countries such as India where there are more number of young adults, big companies are unable to effectively train their employees since there are not many older people to guide them and provide them with proper mentorship.
作为Body Paragraph的第一段，作者认为：年纪大的人比年轻人经验更丰富，知识面更广，如果社会上年纪大的人数太少，那么有可能有些知识就无法传递下去，年轻的职工也会缺乏更有经验的人的带领和教导。本段中有不少词句是非常值得同学们学习的：
· misbalance: 不平衡；
e.g.: culture misbalance
· encompass: Vt. 包含，包括；
e.g.: The study encompasses the social, political, and economic aspects of the situation.
· accumulated: adj. 累积的，累计的
e.g.: The accumulated experience in travel can be overwhelming for anyone to trust their memory.
· be a drain of: 流失
· provide sb. with: 给Sb.提供…
· mentorship: n. 辅导教师，导师制
e.g.: We recently sponsored an event at a local university on the topic of women and mentorship.
Despite the arguments mentioned above, I believe that young people are drivers of progress of a nation. Young people are usually considered to be action-oriented and they take the initiative to advance in diverse fields. For example, technological development is driven by young minds who are able to tap into their innovation and build new devices such as tablets, smartphones and fitness trackers. Moreover, a larger number of youngsters enhance a country’s multiculturalism. Younger people are more flexible and open to new things which makes them appreciate other people’s cultures and heritages, which further impacts others’ perceptions. For instance, with globalisation, young individuals in Australia have adopted more accepting attitudes towards Asian cultures that allow everyone around them to be more open-minded towards this diversity.
前一段说完了disadvantages，这一段就需要提及advantages了。究竟年轻人的比例更高有什么好处呢？这一段无忧小雅哥和悉尼雅思姐就不给大家来一一做解释啦~ 考考你们，作者表达是怎样的观点呢？:-p)
· young people are drivers of progress of a nation:
这句句子是一个非常不错的表达~ 大家真的可以学习一下哦~ 大意为：年轻人是名族进步的驱动者。
· action-oriented: adj. 行动导向的，以行动导向
e.g.: Action-oriented people will get things done more effectively.
· take the initiative to: 采取主动，主动进行，带头去做sth.
e.g.: If they take the initiative to get new skills, there will be a job available to them.
· tap into their innovation: 接入，接进
· multiculturalism: n. 多元文化论
e.g.: They also argue that multiculturalism is an enrichment for the society as a whole.
· accepting attitude towards: 接受的态度，开放的态度
accepting: adj. 易接受的，赞同的
· open-minded: adj. 虚心的，思想开明的 这一段中值得大家摘录学习的短语和表达真的非常多，也非常实用。希望大家都能努力的花时间摘录整理，你会看到意想不到的提升。
In conclusion, some countries are experiencing a significant population change from the olden times with more young adults as compared to older people, which I believe is a situation with more benefits than limitations.
一个好的结局段，也如introduction一样，句子不必多，只需要 “功能齐全”即可~ 复述文中观点，给出自己观点，完美~
