如何学习雅思写作范文
上篇：如何学习雅思写作范文-1？
这是剑4 TEST2,因为与剑7那篇均谈到happiness和satisfaction，所以请结合上篇一起阅读
Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness?
第一段
Happiness is very difficult to define, because it means so many different things to different people.
开门见山，一个because从句回答了第一个问题“Why is it difficult to define?”,mean 对应define.
While some people link happiness to wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships.
While作连词，引导状语从句，主要表时间、对照和让步三种，此处为对照，含义为“而”
体会句型多样性
Link happiness to sth; happiness lies in sth；Wealth and material 财富和物质的；emotions and loving personal relationships 情感
Yet others think that spiritual paths, rather than either the material world or relationships with people, are the only way to true happiness.
一个yet, 明表转折，实则为递进，把上面提的两点视为世俗的（material world 物质的；relationships with people）和精神的（the spiritual paths）,关系还挺复杂
句型多变
link happiness to sth, happiness lies in sth 变为sth is the way to happiness；
while+从句表对照换成 rather than
遣词造句能力之高，只能滔滔江水般的敬仰了
第二段
Because people interpret happiness for themselves in so many different ways, it is difficult to give any definition that is true for everyone.
同义表达上段中的主旨第一句，
Because it means … 换成 because people interpret …
Happiness is difficult to define 换成 it is difficult to give any definition…
起到连接上段的作用，不过对语言基本功要求蛮高的。
However, if there are different kinds of happiness for different individuals that the first step in achieving it would be to have a degree of self-knowledge.
However 转折，指出该段的主旨句，回到题目第二问‘what factors’, first step是自知之明（self-knowledge）
If 从句明表条件，是为因果
A person needs to know who he or she is before being able to know what it is that makes him or her happy.
进一步说明什么是self-knowledge, 就是幸福对他代表什么（如金钱，美女，权利等等）
第三段
Of course, factors such as loving relationships, good health, the skills to earn a living and a peaceful environment all contribute to our happiness too.
一个factors 把第一段的幸福含义又搬出来了，其实幸福定义在很多程度上和幸福影响因素是一码事，比如有的人认为有钱就幸福，那么金钱就是幸福的影响因素。爱 loving relationships 健康good health 谋生能力the skills to earn a living 平和环境 a peaceful environment 四个因素没有严格的分类。
影响因素+ contribute to + 影响结果，这个句型很重要，如The IELTS score contributes to my application 雅思分数影响我的申请，想必大家能共鸣吧。
But this does not mean that people without these conditions cannot be happy.
这句有哲理，健康等是幸福的既非充分又非必要条件。
Cannot 必须这要写，can not是错误的，切记
第四段
Overall, I think an ability to keep clear perspective in life is a more essential factor in achieving happiness.
essential factor继上一个first step之后，粉墨登场了。提醒一下，英文按逻辑重要性，是把最重要的放在最后，中文中叫“压轴戏”。
By that I mean an ability to have a clear sense of what is important in our lives (the welfare of our families, the quality of our relationships, making other people happy, etc.) and what is not (a problem at work, getting annoyed about trivial things, etc.).
继续解释perspective, by that 把上下句联系起来，that 指代上句。
Welfare / wellbeing [u]幸福
etc.等等，拉丁文，记住末尾那个点别给弄没了，近义词 and so on
第五段
Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be most important for achieving happiness
这种写法叫做先抑后扬
Self-awareness对应 self-knowledge；Two factors 对应self-knowledge 或 clear perspective

审题
先看第一问‘why is it very difficult to define?’这好说，幸福难定义吗，就是一个人一个答案；再看下文‘what factors are important in achieving happiness?’转换成‘how can you achieve happiness?’就好理解了，至于到个人如何获得幸福，首先得有自知之名，最重要的是你怎么看待幸福，记得《读者》上有一句话：“认为自己最幸福的人，他就是幸福的人；认为自己最聪明的人，其实是最愚蠢的人。”（这句有点扯了，老外应该不看《读者》）
框架
第一段：开门见山，第一段就是“happiness is very difficult to define, because…”,连背景都不介绍了，“Everyone, who spares nothing to pursue his or her own happy life, has yet to reach the consensus over the definition of happiness.”总分模式介绍为什么答案各异，幸福含义分为世俗（secular world）和精神的（spiritual world）；有将世俗的分为物质的(material)和人际关系的(relationships)
第二段：指出how to achieve happiness 第一步first step是self-knowledge。与上段如何过渡得好好考虑考虑，那就说幸福对每个人而言是不同的，但单就某个人而言，他要获取幸福，就首先得有自知之明，然后再解释为什么需要自知之明。
第三段：我还打算谈获取信服最重要的是如何看待人生，这是个压箱底的好货，我得先卖个关子，那么这段就谈那些常见的影响幸福的因素是其中是既非充分又非必要条件。
第四段：关子买完了，那就“图穷匕首现”了，本段总分格式，overall 总体说来，如何看待人生才是获取幸福的关键。然后解释，分清楚对你来说重要和不重要就可以了。
第五段：总结一下，自知之明和如何看待人生是获取幸福的法宝。
遣词造句
文中表达幸福的影响因素可够丰富的，整理一下：
Wealth and material success
Emotions and loving personal relationships
Spiritual path
Material world
Relationship with people
Self-knowledge
Loving relationships
Good health
The skills to earn to a living
A peaceful environment
Clear perspective
The welfare of our family
The quality of our relationships
Making other people happy
A problem at work
Getting annoyed about trivial things
如果是我？
这个题目，幸福为啥难定义什么？怎样获得幸福（题目原来意思为“获取幸福组重要的因素有哪些”）第一问好说，第二问，想了想，忽然想起当今社会伟大而无名的哲学家大漠炊烟了了说过的一句话：“做人做事归根到底其实就是一种心态”，其实跟考官一样，就是如何看待人生，看来伟大的思想家想法有时往往是一致的，哈哈。除此之外，还有啥呢，还有就是老说思辨能力（critical thinking）,重要懂得如何去思考，就这样了吧。
幸福在哪里？
记得遥远的童年，当年还算是祖国的花朵，戴着鲜艳的红领巾，背着崭新的书包，太阳照着我们红彤彤的小脸上。然后在老师的带领下，高声齐唱：“春天在哪里啊，春天在哪里，春天在那小朋友的眼睛里。”现在想起来，真是又傻又天真。
换到今天，你假如问我，“幸福在哪里？”我想了半天，终于得到了标准答案：“幸福就在新闻联播里。”在新闻联播里，人民公仆是清正廉洁的、警察是抓坏蛋的、人民生活水平是逐步提高的、老百姓是喜笑颜开的、美国人是想一门心思巴结我们的、维族汉族同胞是亲如一家人的、外面的世界是一塌糊涂的，一切的一切激起了我作为国家主人的一份子的骄傲（其实，基于我秉承雷锋精神的奉献精神，我是从小就立志当一名人民公仆，但是估计这辈子只有做主人的份了）。所以我特别反对很多人每天都看新闻联播，一边看一边骂的没素质的表现，因为我也有时看新闻，而且观看时候情绪很好（古话叫“笑而不语”），这种感觉就像小时候看《西游记》一样，时不时把自己融入戏中，自己能腾云驾雾，能七十二变，那种感觉很好；看新闻联播也一样，把自己融入新闻中，觉得自己过上了这种幸福的生活，所以看完之后，精神状态极好，所以，我的结论是“我的幸福就在新闻联播里”。
