雅思写作素材（八）：宝贵的时间

When is the better time to learn a foreign language? Should we learn knowledge or go to work at our youth?

今天，给大家看一段关于时间宝贵的一段话，作为写作中对童年和青少年时期的论证支持。 All time is precious; but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence 我们的生命. For those are the periods when alone we can acquire knowledge and develop our faculties and capacities 才干与能力. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away 溜走unutilized, we shall never be able to recoup the loss弥补损失. As we grow older, our power of acquisition gets blunted 获取知识的能力越来越笨拙, so that the art or science which is not acquired in childhood or youth will never be acquired at all. Just as money laid out 投资 at interest doubles and trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will yield us incalculable advantages 产生不可估量的好处. “Every moment you lose,” says Lord

Chesterfield, “is so much character and advantage lost; as on the other hand, every moment you now employ 利用 usefully is so much time wisely laid out at prodigious interest 巨大的利益.”

雅思写作素材（九）：工作类（跳槽的原因）

下面的这段话里，将人们跳槽的原因描写得非常详细，希望对大家在备考时有所帮助。

A survey by the society for Human Resource Management shows that at any given time, one in three American workers are keeping their eyes peeled for a new job opportunity. Whether it's inside their existing company or in another city or around the world, they are thinking about taking on a new professional challenge. For most people who voluntarily quit, a better pay is the main reason for jumping ship. Other popular reasons for turning in a resignation letter are better opportunities at another company, feeling that there's no room for

professional growth and being bored with the job. So, what should you consider when you are thinking about taking a new job? Experts say if you are dissatisfied with the culture at your current company, you should actively consider a change. Unhappy workers are less likely to contribute all they can. And that means, future growth and raises might be limited. Better

compensation at another job should also be a big consideration. More money means financial security and that leads to higher job satisfaction.

雅思写作素材（七）：数码书、数码纸V.S传统书

Now it could mean a revolution for the publishing business. It's been called electronic paper, computer device which can hold 100 books or receive

newspapers downloaded whilst you sit on a train or anywhere else. But instead of a flickering computer screen to give you a headache, the makers claim it's just like reading from normal paper.

Britons have a voracious appetite for words, each year we buy around 300 million

books and every day digest miles and miles of words in 13 million newspapers. Since the time of Gutenberg, all those words have been printed on paper. But it's this device or something like it about to change the way we get our words forever. Farewell to the dog-eared novel, the well-thumbed but out-of-date guidebook and the grubby newspaper. Meet Iliad, the first E-paper device to come to Europe.

It's a whole new technology in screen display. It produces a very stable very clear image; you can read this in bright sunlight. It's a stable display; there is no flicker, so it's completely different to what you would now expect from the computer screen or a PDA.

It's very light weight, so you can carry it around like a regular magazine. And this is incredibly robust, you know, I can just take my shoe and do this to it, and nothing happens to the display. This is just R&D electronics, the real product will look something like this, we will be able to shrink all the electronics into something on the edge of the device, so it will be like a magazine.'

A paper-like device that can store hundreds of novels, update the news while you browse the headlines and weighs less than a paper back, almost certainly has a future. But as long as sand gets stuck between pages and corners are folded to keep your place, new technology isn't going to consign paper to the waste basket.
