2019年10月10日雅思大作文題目：

如何解決青少年犯罪上升問題？

The only way to solve the increasing crime rate of young offenders is to teach parents better parenting skills. Do you agree or disagree?

解析 & 審題

千呼萬喚，犯罪類話題終于重出江湖！

犯罪類話題是雅思寫作的?？停磕昃霈F(xiàn)3-4次，內(nèi)容涉及犯罪的原因，懲罰方式及懲罰的效果，如何避免犯罪等，因這類話題很多學生平時思考得比較少，因此不可等閑視之?？v觀近幾年雅思寫作，老雅將最常出現(xiàn)的犯罪類題材歸納為如下幾類：

1. 青少年犯罪，包括：

（1）青少年犯罪的原因及其解決辦法；

（2）青少年犯罪是否應(yīng)該與成年人犯罪一樣得到懲罰；

（3）青少年犯罪后是否該收監(jiān)，或者有其他的懲罰形式？

2. 一般犯罪的原因，包括：

（1）人們犯罪的原因是什么？

（2）犯罪是環(huán)境使然還是天性使然？

3. 一般犯罪的解決辦法，包括：

（1）犯罪能否避免？

（2）避免犯罪，最好的辦法是將犯人收監(jiān)還是對人們實施教育？

（3）是否應(yīng)該控制電影和電視里的暴力鏡頭？

4. 其他，比如：出獄后的犯人能否成為教育青少年避免犯罪的典范？

本題涉及年輕人犯罪的解決辦法。與一般題目不同的是，本題提出了一個解決辦法，即“提高父母的教育技巧”，并提出這是解決年輕人犯罪的“唯一辦法”。

唐老師已經(jīng)多次論述過，對這種“唯一辦法”或“最佳辦法”的題目，通常的思路是首先承認這種方法是有效的，然后提出還有其他（更好的）辦法。就本題而言，我們可以先承認，提高父母教育孩子的技巧的確可以避免孩子犯罪，但這不是唯一的辦法，學校和政府也應(yīng)該為減少孩子犯罪負責。

以下是唐老師撰寫的高分范文。

第 1 段

One worrying trend globally is that the number of young offenders is on the rise. To combat this, many suggest that parents should be taught better parenting skills. While the improvement of parenting skills will certainly help bring down the crime rate of young law-breakers, it is not the only solution to the problem.

全球一個令人擔憂的趨勢是，年輕罪犯的人數(shù)正在增加。為了克服這個問題，許多人建議應(yīng)該教會父母更好的孩子教育技巧。提高孩子教育技巧當然有助于降低青少年違法者的犯罪率，但這并不是這一問題的唯一解決辦法。

解析

（1） 本段開門見山給出背景（青少年犯罪在增加），并明確提出自己的觀點（提高父母教育孩子的技巧有助于解決這個問題，但不是唯一辦法）。

（2） A worrying trend 一個令人擔憂的趨勢

（3） On the rise 在上升

（4） Combat 克服；戰(zhàn)勝

（5） Bring down 降低

第 2 段

We all know that parents are largely to blame for many crimes their children commit, which could have been prevented with better parenting skills. Many parents, for instance, do not know how to listen, so their children have nobody to turn to for help when they encounter problems in their life, thus making them easy targets of bad influences outside. Once their children do anything wrong, these parents will then resort to physical punishment rather than spending time talking to their children. The poor parenting skills, indeed, may leave children vulnerable to bad behaviour, which may eventually lead to antisocial crimes.

我們都知道，父母在很大程度上要為他們的孩子犯下的許多罪行負責，如果有更好的孩子教育技巧，這些罪行本來可以預防的。例如，許多家長都不知道怎樣傾聽，因此，當他們的孩子在生活中遇到問題時，都沒有人可以求助，因此很容易成為外界不良影響的目標。一旦他們的孩子做錯了什么，這些父母就會訴諸于體罰，而不是花時間和孩子交談。實際上，糟糕的孩子教育技巧可能會使孩子們?nèi)菀资艿讲涣夹袨榈挠绊?，而這可能會導致反社會的犯罪。

解析

（1） 本段討論沒有教育孩子的方法，孩子有可能走上犯罪道路。

（2） Somebody is to blame for... 某人應(yīng)該為......負責（受到責備）

（3） Commit a crime 犯罪

（4） Resort to 使用；付諸

（5） Be vulnerable to... 容易受到......（影響或傷害）的

（6） Eventually 最終

（7） Anti-social 反社會

第 3 段

The improved parenting skills will certainly be helpful, but in order to control the tide of juvenile delinquency, we need to do more. In the first place, schools should shoulder their share of responsibility. Besides imparting knowledge, schools ought to improve their students' ethical and legal awareness by showing them how to tell right from wrong. Many schools, for example, pay much attention to the artistic education of their studentsfor the reason that art can help a child become a better person. What is more, the government should play an active role in educating the future generation. One recommendable policy the government has made recently is to ban the entry of young people under 15 to the bars and the Internet cafe. This policy makes it possible for children to spend more time with their parents and teachers, thus reducing the likelihood of their misconducts.

提高為人父母的技巧固然有幫助，但為了控制青少年犯罪的趨勢，我們需要做更多的工作。首先，學校應(yīng)該承擔起自己的責任。除了傳授知識外，學校還應(yīng)向?qū)W生展示如何辨別是非，從而提高他們的道德和法律意識。例如，許多學校都非常重視對學生的藝術(shù)教育，因為藝術(shù)可以幫助孩子成為一個更好的人。更重要的是，政府應(yīng)該在教育未來一代方面發(fā)揮積極作用。政府最近制定的一項政策值得推薦，即禁止15歲以下的年輕人進入酒吧和網(wǎng)吧。這項政策使孩子們有可能花更多的時間與父母和老師在一起，從而減少他們行為不端的可能性。

解析

（1） 本段討論學校和政府在解決青少年犯罪方面可以做的事情（學校應(yīng)該教孩子如何辨明是非，政府應(yīng)該營造更好的社會氛圍）。

（2） Juvenile delinquency 青少年犯罪

（3） Imparting knowledge 傳授知識

（4） Ethical awareness 倫理意識

（5） Tell right from wrong 分辨是非

（6） For the reason that... 因為......

（7） Recommendable 值得推薦的

（8） Likelihood 可能性

（9） Misconduct 不端行為

第 4 段

In conclusion, to prevent young children from committing crimes, the parents, schools, and the government should join together and create a favorable environment for the growth of children.

總之，為了防止孩子犯罪，家長、學校和政府應(yīng)該聯(lián)合起來，為兒童的成長創(chuàng)造有利的環(huán)境。

解析

（1） 本段是結(jié)論段，再次明確自己的觀點。

（2） A favourable environment 一個有利的環(huán)境
