今天我們來了解雅思寫作中關(guān)于音樂的文章的寫作方法。通過音樂這個(gè)主題的寫作，我們可以get一系列TASK 2的寫作方法。讓我們看一個(gè)例子：
There are many types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important and should it be preserved or is international music that is heard everywhere nowadays more useful to a society?
這個(gè)題目是相當(dāng)復(fù)雜的。這個(gè)關(guān)于音樂的話題相當(dāng)?shù)拈L而且所需要論述的點(diǎn)也比較多。通常，寫作的步驟如下：
Understanding the Question
理解問題：當(dāng)你碰到一個(gè)復(fù)雜的寫作題時(shí)，你需要將題目中重要信息點(diǎn)找到，并把這些點(diǎn)拆分開。將復(fù)雜的問題分解為獨(dú)立完整的多個(gè)簡單問題，往往能避免遺漏。上面的題目可以這樣分解：
Why do we need music?
Why is traditional music important?
Should it be preserved?
Why is international music important?
Which is the most important?
因?yàn)閷懽黝}目中涉及到了上面提及的每一個(gè)簡單問題，所以上面這些點(diǎn)都需要意義被論述。
盡管需要論述的問題很多，但是我們需要權(quán)衡出哪個(gè)問題是核心，這樣才能保證文章主次分明。很明顯，例題中的核心是明確表達(dá)出：which type of music, traditional or international, you think is more important/useful。所以，歸根到底，這類文章的最終目的其實(shí)也就是觀點(diǎn)的論述。
Planning and Organizing your Answer
關(guān)于作文的構(gòu)思，你可以利用上面的多個(gè)簡單問題進(jìn)行頭腦風(fēng)暴。
而對這些問題的組織方式是多種多樣的。但是不論你如何組織這些問題，務(wù)必要保證文章的邏輯性，并且在內(nèi)容上要涵蓋所有涉及的問題。
上面的例題中，我們可以這樣來組織：首先論述為什么我們需要音樂 ，然后比較兩種音樂的相對重要性。文章的收尾一定要表明你的觀點(diǎn)。如果再前文中表明過觀點(diǎn)，結(jié)尾也一定要再次陳述觀點(diǎn)。
最后，我們來看例題給出的范文。
IELTS Music Essay Model Answer
Music exists in some form or another in every culture around the world and it provides enjoyment to millions of people. However, some people are concerned that traditional music is being lost because of the popularity of international music.
Without a doubt, music is a necessity. Firstly, music is important as it provides enjoyment and pleasure in daily life. People listen to music to relax at home, to relieve the boredom of long journeys, and to dance to in the evening at clubs. Not only this, music is also an expression of culture, often being an important part of religious ceremonies such as weddings and funerals or yearly festivals. It is also now important in educational development as children learn to play music at school.
In considering which kind of music is the most important, international music is certainly useful to society because it can be argued that it helps us to understand and relate to other people, cultures and countries as we all listen to the same songs. This has occurred as globalization means Western music is heard around the world. However, it is critical that this is not at the expense of traditional music. It should be a priority to preserve this since it teaches people about their history, and helps societies remember and retain their national and cultural identity.
To conclude, I would argue that one type of music is not more important or useful than another. Traditional music is important and should be preserved as it is part of a country’s cultural identity, but both are needed as they provide enjoyment to people in different ways.
