IELTS 大作文真題：活到老學(xué)到老。同意或不同意學(xué)習(xí)的過程是從出生到死去？
It is generally agreed that education is a matter of learning process from cradle to grave. People had better learn all the time until kicking the bucket, the tombstones being their diplomas. In a modern sense, people must learn to live as well as live to learn.
【起段】教育實(shí)際上是指從搖籃到墳?zāi)怪g的學(xué)習(xí)過程，這一點(diǎn)一般人都同意。大家應(yīng)該永遠(yuǎn)的學(xué)習(xí)，到死方休，可以把墓碑視為畢業(yè)文憑。就以當(dāng)今而論，所有人有必要又學(xué)習(xí)中生活，又生活中學(xué)習(xí)。
Because people need knowledge to live more worthwhile lives, learning more could mean living better. Formal schooling has the purpose of kindling desires to learn so that the youth would go on the learning process as long as they live. Although obtaining knowledge remains the major fruit of education, actually the want to learn does not end at graduation ceremonies. In view of this, not only students but also teachers are supposed to learn continuously, considering that those dare to teach must not refrain from educating themselves. As they have to do teaching for a living, it follows that they can teach best what they most require to learn. And this is just one example that can also be applied to nearly all walks of life therein learning is critical.
【承段】因?yàn)槿藗冃枰R(shí)才能過好日子，所以更多的學(xué)習(xí)，也意味著更好的生活。正規(guī)的學(xué)校教育有其目的，那就是點(diǎn)燃年輕人求知的欲望，而接著能夠繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，活到老學(xué)到老。雖然教育的主要目的是獲得知識(shí)，求學(xué)的心愿不應(yīng)該結(jié)束于畢業(yè)典禮。不光是學(xué)生要繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，老師也一樣要繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，因?yàn)楦页越虝@一行飯，就永遠(yuǎn)不能停止學(xué)習(xí)。事實(shí)上，教師既以教書為業(yè)，在專業(yè)上學(xué)習(xí)更多，也必然教得更好。此例可以引證到各行各業(yè)，因?yàn)椴徽搹氖履且恍袠I(yè)，學(xué)習(xí)是非常要緊的事。
Living to learn makes a more positive sense of life. The more people learn, the better for them to realize how much they do not know during a lifetime. For that matter, education in many forms should always be updated because learning is like "rowing upstream--not to advance is to be back,'' as the Chinese saying goes. People are necessarily encouraged to learn everyday to the last days, never being too old to learn. Once learning is otherwise neglected in life as a journey, the traveler "walks lame" to the end of life. This concept means that learning as education must be aggressive day by day in order that one can be wiser today than yesterday.
【轉(zhuǎn)段】生活中學(xué)習(xí)具有正面的意義。究人一生，越努力學(xué)習(xí)便越加體會(huì)到自己缺乏知識(shí)。由此觀之，不論如何一種形式的教育都不可以停止，如同中國(guó)的一句老話說的--求學(xué)如逆水行舟，不進(jìn)則退。這話是勉勵(lì)大家要天天求知，堅(jiān)持到最后一口氣。要不然，在人生旅途上假設(shè)忽略了學(xué)習(xí)，那就會(huì)如同“跛腳”的旅人，走向人生的終點(diǎn)。這個(gè)概念是說，學(xué)習(xí)是教育，日日精進(jìn)，如此這般，每個(gè)人的今天都比昨天更長(zhǎng)一智。
Finally, while the world is becoming increasingly complex and competitive, it can well be said that learning to live and living to learn are one and the same attitude toward life. Life, after all, is a succession of lessons which are meant to be lived to be understood. Being inevitably associated with intellectual growth, education really begins at birth and only ends at death.
【合段】總而言之，端看當(dāng)今世界越來越變得復(fù)雜又是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，我們大可把學(xué)習(xí)生活與生活學(xué)習(xí)的兩面，視為對(duì)于人生的同一態(tài)度。說穿了，人生是充滿著一連串的課程，不經(jīng)一事不長(zhǎng)一智。智慧成長(zhǎng)與個(gè)人教育既然是息息相關(guān)，那么所謂教育，果然是始于出生，終于去世。
