來源：環球教育整理
小編：Eileen 4240雅思大作文中，媒體類作文一直是眾多考生比較頭疼的話題。在2016年全年雅思寫作大作文中出現概率為13%。這類話題不僅內容繁雜，而且角度眾多，經常讓同學們覺得無處下手，痛苦萬分。今天小編就為大家整理了雅思寫作媒體類話題相關資料，希望對大家有用。
雅思寫作媒體類話題有哪些？
1.新聞與媒體
母題：News media is more influential nowadays. Some people think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (090822)
提示：之所以選擇這道題目做母題是因為它涵蓋的范圍最廣，可以寫報紙、電視、網絡。圍繞這些媒體的好處和壞處寫一篇文章，順便思考一下下面的幾道子題，那么這部分的話題就可以搞定了。
子題：報紙要比其它媒體更有影響力，你同意嗎？網上的信息不準確，你同意嗎？我們是否應該相信記者，一個合格的記者應當具備什么樣的品質？
2.媒體審查制度
母題：Nowadays, films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people think those films and games have negative effects on society and should be banned,while others think they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both views and give your opinion.(111029)
提示：這道題目正好概括了媒體審查制度贊成者和反對者的觀點。好處是對避免青少年的模仿，降低社會暴力，壞處是破壞了影片的娛樂性，對于新聞的審查則侵犯了人們的知情權和媒體的言論自由。
子題：政府應該控制電影和電視中的暴力來降低社會中的犯罪，你同意嗎？要不要嚴格控制媒體對于犯罪細節的報道？電視節目向公眾展現災難性的畫面對個人和社會有何影響？
3.廣告
母題：We are surrounded by all kinds of advertising, which significantly influence our lives. Do the positive effects of advertising outweigh its negative effects? (041016, 110625)
提示：這道題目是廣告類話題中最經典的，因為這道題目的范圍最廣。這道題目寫成雙邊，好處是給消費者提供信息，促進經濟發展，帶動就業，壞處是欺騙誤導消費者，誤導兒童模仿，擾亂生活。
子題：廣告是否會扼殺個性，使人們看起來都一樣？針對兒童的廣告有何利弊？針對兒童的廣告是否應當被禁止？廣告應當被禁止，因為它只有壞處沒有好處，你是否同意？
細致的分析了后發現，雅思寫作媒體類考題有著很強的規律性。只要我們掌握了媒體類作文四種核心常考角度，我們就能夠靈活應對絕大部分的媒體類題目，正所謂，用四招輕松化解雅思媒體類作文。
媒體類作文不同主體的話題規律
第一招：化解以電視為主體的媒體類作文
電視類雖然話題數量繁多，但是，無論，題干具體內容如何變化，其話題的核心含義都是針對著"電視作為新興教育媒體同一些傳統的教育方式(比如，讀書，父母教育，學校教育)之間的矛盾"這一角度展開的。比如：題干中說，孩子能夠通過電視進行有效的學習，是否應該鼓勵孩子在學校和家庭經常看電視?相比于看電視，人們可以通過讀書可以更好地培養想象力和思考能力，你是否同意?孩子花在看電視上的時間越來越多，從事創造性的時間逐漸減少的原因是什么?我們應該怎么辦?有人認為家長應該給孩子讀故事，有人則認為，孩子可以通過看電視，網絡等一系列渠道進行閱讀，你是否同意?
這些題目雖然形式不一，但是核心都在于：對電視的教育意義的質疑。所以，對于這類電視類媒體作文，我們只需要弄清楚這樣一個問題，那就是，電視是否真的具有能夠抗衡書籍，課堂教育，父母教育等其他傳統教育方式的教育作用就可以了。
希望下面的例子可以在大家構思論據的時候提供一些思路：
沉迷電視的壞處：
1)看電視的過程中是單純的信息接受，相比于讀書這種需要高度集中和思索的工作來說，容易造成孩子抽象思維的缺失(short of abstract thinking).
2)過度沉迷于電視，容易造成孩子社交活動和體育活動的減少(isolate children from physical and social activities),使得他們對真實的世界越發冷淡失去興趣(make them indifferent to the real world).不關心周圍的事情(rarely concerned about the people and the matters around them)同他人的互動減少(it leads to a drop in their interaction with others)
3)長期看電視會同時會損傷視力(impair vision)，電視的輻射(radiation)會損傷孩子的身體健康(damage health)。
看電視的益處：
1)可以為孩子們創造一個從繁重的學業壓力中休息的機會(provide an escape for children who experience high levels of pressure in the daytime)使他們達到勞逸結合(strike a balance between entertainment and academic activities)
第二招和第三招：化解以新聞和廣告為主體的媒體類作文
新聞類的兩次考題雖然措施稍有差別，但是內容全部是關于這樣一個話題：當今世界，報紙對人們的日常生活，尤其是對人們的想法的影響力越來越大，這是否是一個積極的影響?廣告類蜻蜓點水出現的那一次是關于廣告是否有用：人們根據產品是否能夠滿足自己的需要來選擇是否購買，那么從此種角度來說，廣告是不是只是一種不必要的娛樂形式?所以，針對新聞類和廣告類，我們只需要著重準備這兩個角度就可以了。針對新聞類的角度的論據構思，大家可以從國家和團體的凝聚力角度來說，著重從這個角度來渲染輿論的積極力量。比如在災害發生，新聞的高度傳播性可以使得人們迅速的采取行動。同時，在日常生活中，新聞可以使得人們在第一時間了解到世界各個角落正在發生的事情，達到消息的高度透明化。
關于廣告為主體的角度論據，希望下面的例子可以給大家帶來一些思路：
廣告的優勢：
1)廣告是消費者和生產商之間的橋梁(bridge the gap between consumers and manufacturers).傳播市場信息，(disseminate market information),介紹新產品(inform consumers of new products)讓消費者選擇適合自己的商品。(enable a more qualitative choice between products to consumers)
2)廣告作為一個信息傳播平臺，能夠刺激生產商在質量上進行競爭(encourage competition in quality)鼓勵產品創新(encourage product innovation),而且豐富消費者生活(enrich their lives)
3)廣告刺激消費，促進產品銷售量(enable greater volume to be sold)，促進經濟發展(promote economic development)
廣告的弊端：
1)廣告很少提供產品的所有信息 (hardly provide full disclosure of product characteristics), 濫用消費者的信任 (abuse the consumers' trust), 利用他們缺少經驗或者知識的缺點(exploit their lack of experience or knowledge), 去誘導他們購買對自己無用的產品 (manipulate them)
第四招：化解以電腦為主體的媒體類作文
電腦類的網絡教學類考察核心非常一致，那就是，網絡教學是否能夠取代傳統的教學方式?其中，如果題干中的主體為people，則相對應的傳統教學方式一定是attending university or college。若題干中的主體為children，則相對應的傳統教學方式就是study at school with teachers. 電腦類的電腦游戲則是網絡教學類和電視類的結合，將這二者的論據進行刪改和疊加就可以輕松應對。需要指出的是，媒體類和教育類的話題有著很多重合，彼此之間可以互相借鑒許多思路。
希望下面的論據可以為大家構思"網絡教學"類題目時候提供一點思路。
網絡教學的弊端：
1)一大缺點：缺乏靈活性 (lack of flexibility)，由于電腦有程序上的限制(programmatic limitations). 教學模式化的(standardized)無法滿足學生的具體需要(incompatible with the specific needs of a student)
one of the major drawbacks of computer is lack of flexibility. Due to its programmatic restraints, its teaching is standardized and therefore incompatible with the specific needs of a student.
2)電腦和學生缺乏互動(lack of interaction),不能夠滿足學生的情感需求(fill student's emotional needs)
Owning to the lack of interaction, distance-learning can hardly fill students' emotional needs.
3)長期盯著屏幕有傷視力 ( impair vision); 有害身體健康(damage students health)
Long-time exposure to the computer would impair vision and damage students' health.
網絡教學的優勢：
1) 可以作為教育輔助(teaching aid)，電腦起著重要的作用。協助教師用多種途徑展現教育資料(present educational materials in various ways)，同時為學生提供重復性的練習(repetitive drills)鞏固學習成果。
所以，如果想將媒體類話題進行全面的準備，只需要弄清四個話題就可以了，第一個和第二個是，針對其中最大的一個話題主體(電視)和第二大話題主體(電腦)的考察核心：也就是電視是否具有能夠抗衡書籍，課堂教育，父母教育等其他教育方式的教育作用?網絡教學是否能夠取代傳統教學方式(這里面同時注意一下不同人群的差異性)?第三個，就是針對第三大主體(報紙)：報紙在人們日常生活中尤其是人們的思想層面影響力越來越大，這是一種積極的還是消極的趨勢?第四個針對廣告：人們跟據產品能夠滿足自己的需要來選擇是否購買，那么從此種角度來說，廣告是否只是一種不必要的娛樂形式?
媒體類作文雖然看上去繁雜，但是經過了分析之后，我們發現，只要掌握四點，就可以將其收入囊中。
媒體類話題雅思寫作范文：
1.The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this issue? 政府應該控制電影電視上暴力鏡頭的數量，為了減少社會暴力犯罪。你在多大程度上同意或不同意這個問題?
思路解析：
應該控制1：暴力電影和鏡頭是精神毒藥。它們包含太多的刺激的，煽動性的情結，這讓觀眾變得富有攻擊性。
應該控制2：暴力電影中的電影明星樹立了負面榜樣，他們給年輕人傳達了一個錯誤的觀念，即暴力是一種合適的方式來解決一切社會問題，這在年輕人中培養了一種對于犯罪的崇拜。 不應該控制：暴力鏡頭本身就能反應社會現實，這是對于人們的一種教育，也讓他們對于可能在身邊出現的暴力進行防范。
參考范文：
Nowadays, many people argue that the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television, in order to reduce social crimes. In my view, this assertion is partially wise, and my reasons would be explored as below.
Admittedly, there are many good reasons for controlling the amount of violence in films and on television. First, violent films and television are mental poisons for the audience It is because they contains numerous of erotic, corrupt and provoking episode, with long exposure to which, viewers might become aggressive and eccentric. In addition, violence contents set negative role models for young viewers, especially the youth.
Activities like fighting, shooting or killing done by movie stars send teenagers a wrong message that violence is an effective or even essential solution to all troubles. Therefore, these youngsters with immature minds begin to admire violence and disrespect social rules, which leads to the increasing of the juvenile delinquents. According to the analysis above, it is clear that the measure of limiting violent information on media should be encouraged, for the reason that it can directly cut off the access to those illegal and evil behaviors and thoughts, thus keeping people from imitating them.
Advocates claim that the practice of controlling the amount of violence in mass media is a brazen violation of the people's basic right to know the truth of the world. For example, some films contain some violence, but they reflect the things happened around us. Rather than producing negative effects on audience, to some extent, these films educate them. Furthermore, violence in films or on television programs cultivates people's senses of crisis and responsibility, which makes ordinary people and police work better for public security. Consequently, it is irresponsible and foolish to blame the media for violence in our society.
As far as I am concern, I strongly believe that the amount of violence in films and TV should be controlled. At the same time, we cannot deny the advantages brought by them. And the best policy is to develop the merits of the violent films and television, while grading and filtering them.
2.News media have become influential to our lives, and some people think that is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 新聞媒體對我們的生活產生影響，有人認為這是一種消極的發展。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
思路解析：
1.負面影響：以新聞為主的生活方式會讓人們筋疲力盡。舉例，報紙和電視吸取了人們所有的關注，這讓人們無法關注自己的事情，也缺乏時間來維持家庭關系。
2.負面影響：負面新聞會引發社會不安。舉例，很多謠言，關于社會傳染病，或是很多逃犯的信息，會讓人們生活在恐懼中。
3.負面影響：媒體是洗腦工具。舉例，處于政治目的，很多新聞媒體會對某些進行毫無根據的攻擊和抹黑。這會誤導投票人的判斷和立場。
4.正面影響：新聞媒體能提供有用的信息，建議和指導。舉例，天氣預報和交通堵塞的信息能幫助人們制定合適的出行計劃和路線。
參考范文：
Nowadays, the expanding influence of news media on the society has been a heated social issue in debate. Some believe this trend is negative because the media controls minds of the public. Personally, I partially agree with this view, and my reasons will be explored as below.
The most worrying aspect of new media is that it overwhelms people’s daily lives. Actually, our lives of today are news-oriented, because of the 24-hour nonstop news cycles on TV, radio and Internet. Under such news bombardment, the information overload takes place, which means people’s attentions and minds have to be glued to focusing on and interpreting endless news, comments, gossips and rumors, necessary and unnecessary, no matter where they are, in workplaces, schools, buses or homes. As a result, news media is a huge distraction, which makes people exhausted and reduces their concentration and energy on their tasks or families.
Another big concern of news media is about its roles in manipulating people’s thoughts. Psychologically speaking, watching news media is a strong process of washing brain, in which the personal judgments of individual viewers might be removed and replaced with the media-established ideas. For example, for the purpose of politics, many influential newspapers, TV programs and online websites disclose the foibles of privacy, and even deliberately fabricate false rumors, scandals to diminish some political candidates in an election. Obviously, the cheatings and lies on news media are detrimental to the social equity and democracy, because they keep voters from thinking freely and independently.
However, the positive impact news media bring to our lives can never be ignored. In fact, the exposure to these news and reports can give the audience valuable messages and suggestions in day-to-day life. For example, the information about forecasts of weather and traffic situations in rush hours on regional newspapers or radio channels can instruct local residents to make proper schedules, plans and routers for travelling outside. In addition, reports about pressing social problems like epidemics, natural disasters, violence and crimes in streets also help to arouse the public’s awareness of the importance of improving education and health care systems, as well as the necessity of saving environment.
In conclusion, the demerits caused by news media override its benefits for the public. Although it can provide useful and practical information to the audience, it influences people in more negative ways, including an unbalanced life due to addiction in news, as well as the misunderstanding about social issues.
