雅思写作 | 文化保护类话题这么写，高分妥了！

文化类是一个相对比较低频的话题。宽泛的考题，比如“是否应该保护传统文化”，目前在雅思实考中几乎不出现。

文化类的考查会更加具体，比如：是否应该修复古建筑？我们先来看看常用论点：

保护传统文化的原因：

文化遗产被认为是一个民族、国家的宝贵资源和文化遗产，它从过去得到，带到现在，并延续到未来。它将人类社会的成员连接成一个整体。

Cultural heritage is considered an invaluable resource and a cultural legacy of a people, nation, and country received from the past, brought to the present, and carries on to the future. It connects members of human society as a whole.

传统艺术具有重要的教育价值和文化价值。它们帮助年轻人了解他们自己国家的习俗和历史。

Traditional arts have significant educational value as well as cultural value. They help young adults to understand the customs and history of their own country.

传统文化的保护有助于旅游业发展。

Preserving traditional culture contributes to tourism.

刚才我们说过，近五年的真题很少出现直接考查“传统文化”的好处，而是更具体。

我们现在一起看一道例题：

Some people believe that certain old buildings are more worth preserving than others. What types of old buildings should be preserved? Do you think the advantages of preserving old buildings outweigh the disadvantages?

题目里观点提到，有些人觉得比起其他建筑，保护旧建筑应该更加被重视。

什么样的旧建筑应该被保护？保护旧建筑的好处与坏处哪个更显著？其实，这里的旧建筑也是一种“传统文化”的体现，我们不妨“偷梁换柱一下”，就可以得到以下的论点：

旧建筑被认为是一个民族、国家的宝贵资源和文化遗产，它从过去得到，带到现在，并延续到未来。它将人类社会的成员连接成一个整体。

Old buildings is considered an invaluable resource and a cultural legacy of a people, nation, and country received from the past, brought to the present, and carries on to the future. It connects members of human society as a whole.

旧建筑被具有重要的教育价值和文化价值。它们帮助年轻人了解他们自己国家的习俗和历史。

Old buildings have significant educational value as well as cultural value. They help young adults to understand the customs and history of their own country.

旧建筑被保护有助于旅游业发展。

Preserving old architects contributes to tourism.

又或者，在教育类中有这样一道例题，我们也可以从“文化角度”思考论点。

In the modern age, some people think it is unnecessary to teach children the skill of handwriting. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

题目中说到“现在人们认为不需要再教孩子书写了”。你同意还是不同意？到哪种程度？

大家不难想到，当然该学书写了，因为书写也是宝贵的文化。比如说，中国的书法博大精深，流派各异，其中就蕴含了深厚的文化。

那在表达时，我们还是可以聪明地套用【保护传统文化的原因】，也就得到了：

书写具有重要的教育价值和文化价值。它们帮助年轻人了解他们自己国家的习俗和历史。

Handwriting have significant educational value as well as cultural value. They help young adults to understand the customs and history of their own country.

所以，即使考题看上去跟传统文化无关，但是题目讨论的主题对象属于传统文化的一部分，这个时候都可以用上【保护传统文化的原因】。

最 后一个例子：

Some people think it is important for all children to learn history in school. Others believe that other subjects are more relevant to children's lives today. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.【20190801】

看完这个题目，你是否觉得熟悉？在《教育类-XX科目该不该学？》一文中，我们已经讨论过这个题目了。这个题目要求学生讨论两个观点，“历史学科的重要性”和“其他学科更重要”。

当你在论证“历史学科是重要的”，你也可以把它跟“文化”挂上钩，强调历史中可以学到文化，帮助年轻人了解国家的习俗和历史。

 常用表达：

发扬光大文化 carry forward culture

保留文化 reserve culture

传播文化 transmit / spread

吸取精华，剔除糟粕 reject the dross and assimilate the essence

提高身份认同 increase national identity

多元文化 diverse cultures

民族特色 ethnic/ national identity
