2018年1月18日雅思写作机经预测之大作文题目及解析：
1. In many countries, people decide to have children at a later age than in the past, what are the reasons? Do advantages of this development outweigh disadvantages?
With a paradigm shift in social belief and people's fascination about having an enviable career, they tend to become parents at a later stage than the past. There are some prominent reasons for this and I personally believe that it has more negative consequences.
To begin with, the average year when people get married has increased than that of our ancestors. As a result, childbirth is naturally delayed. According to a recent survey, many young people who start their career after their graduation are more focused on their jobs than having their own family. Besides, many young people are undecided whether to marry or not. Eventually, when they get married, they are already in their mid-thirties and they take some time to settle and have some financial stability before having their first child. Furthermore, the old belief that a girl should be prepared to manage a family and have children earlier has changed and more wives work in offices than ever. The decline of the joint family has also contributed to this trend as couples solely take the decision of having a baby, unlike the past.
If we notice the detrimental impacts of this trend has, we would surely try to reverse it. The most cynical outcome of this trend is the number of couples struggling to become parents. It is scientifically proved that infertility rate among late childbirth couples is higher. Some of the couples eventually break up their marriages due to this and it brings unfathomable social problems. Furthermore, having a child in the early years of marriage makes the couple more family-oriented and this eventually helps them have a better future.
To conclude, late marriage, nuclear family structure, and more focuses on jobs are the main reasons for people who become parents at a later stage and this has undeniably more adverse results than the positive sides.
2. Government funding should only provide scholarships for the best students. All other funding of universities should come from student fees and private organizations. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In recent years, governments provide large amount of funding for the development of education. However, whether public funds should be only used in scholarships for the top students is a controversial issue. In my opinion, governments have a responsibility to provide money for the most crucial areas of education.
First of all, governments are accountable to spend money on education. A good education program should not only include scholarships for the top students, but it should also develop educational facilities and spend for the training of educators. Governments have financial resources through taxation, which means that universities have sustainable source of money. Through receiving annual budget allocation from the state, academic institutions will progress.
Moreover, a school is the place where students acquire knowledge of different areas and work skills. If the state ensures that students have better education, then the latter could find a good job and contribute to society instead of paying off a huge student debt when they accomplish their respective degree. On the other hand, governments should give prizes to private organizations that donate money to the universities.
This is not to say that governments should expend for every aspect of schooling. They should invest in key areas, like research and advanced academic facilities. These fields will benefit all learners and guarantee an excellent quality of schooling.
In conclusion, governments should make every effort to support the education of citizens through providing financial aid to scholars and giving out sufficient budget for academic resources, educators and private institutions that subsidize schools. Only in this way, can our society become more prosperous.
