IELTS Essay: EQ and IQ
社交技巧與合格資歷
2012年1月14日雅思寫作真題+范文+解析
海外大學(xué)教師謝振禮Jeenn Lee Hsieh投稿
#前言筆記：
雅思與托福寫作測(cè)驗(yàn)全算是難題，所以烤鴨使用英文的能力假若不高，那簡(jiǎn)直更是難上加難。內(nèi)行的中教也一樣承認(rèn)每一道試題都很不容易下手，于是部分傾向猜題分析，真是說(shuō)得頭頭是道，但就是不愿寫范文。其實(shí)連教英語(yǔ)的老外都懶得動(dòng)手，聲聲推辭，紛紛叫煩！當(dāng)然困難的英文不可能變得容易，倒是作文的格式可以簡(jiǎn)而化之--采用隱形模板。
2012年1月14日的A類真題如下，如有出入當(dāng)以原試題為準(zhǔn)。真題問(wèn)：這年頭在就業(yè)市場(chǎng)上，社交技巧與合格資歷是不是一樣重要？
答題舉例：考生先定立場(chǎng)而生主題。開(kāi)頭第一句申論主題：二者都同樣重要。第二句：集中焦點(diǎn)：如果光靠資歷，但是缺乏社交技巧則難以鶴立雞群。第三句：一分為二：分兩點(diǎn)--求職與升官的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
所有的論說(shuō)文的題型是沖突，沒(méi)有例外。謝振禮老師認(rèn)為合格資歷與社交技巧毫無(wú)沖突。焦點(diǎn)在于具有社交技巧與缺乏社交技巧的抽象沖突。抽象化就是用想象力搞比喻的能事。把合格資料比為IQ，又把社交技巧比作EQ。IQ與EQ早已經(jīng)是口頭禪，考生考官都清楚無(wú)誤。
#心圖大綱，圓形邏輯，四段18句：起3承6轉(zhuǎn)6合3
起--社交技巧+合格資歷=求職與工作的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
承--社交技巧造成求職應(yīng)征的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
轉(zhuǎn)--社交技巧造成工作升職的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
合--求職與升職=社交技巧+合格資歷。
#雅思真題>Nowadays it is widely accepted that social skills are as important as good qualifications. Do you agree or disagree?
謝振禮隱形模板范文
Example Writing Task 2:
When it comes to employment, qualifications as the intelligence quotient (IQ) always matter; and in addition, gaining social skills as the emotional quotient (EQ) is useful for one to stand out from the crowd. Those who want to make themselves desirable employees may be wise to focus on their social skills since it is no longer enough for people to rely on good qualifications. Qualifications being not the issue, social skills can make a difference when competing for employments and promotions.
In the first place, the importance of social skills can be noted in today's typical job interviews. In fact, it is commonly accepted that the EQ is often directly tied to the degree of success one may have in the workplace. In terms of employability, to be successful the emotional abilities are as important as the intelligent abilities. That is probably why IQ testing is administered not very frequently these days. In comparison, some companies are testing the EQ instead to measure one's adequacy in such areas as self-awareness, empathy, and dealing sensitively with other people. This kind of exam is increasingly popular because employers try to keep away some job seekers who appear to be inclined to take a more negative attitude toward social inter-relationships.
Obviously, some employees with better social skills stand better chances of being promoted to higher job levels, for good reasons. As valuable as qualifications, social skills may determine one's well-being and effectiveness both at work and in life. Whether in verbal or nonverbal forms, the opposite of social skills is social ineptitude, roughly meaning the lack of a set of personal skills to communicate, relate and socialize with others. In plain words, employees in higher positions usually have made themselves good communicators for being able to be at ease, converse fluidly, grasp social "rituals" such as what to say, when to say and how to say it in certain situations. On the other hand, some other employees, although having high IQs as well, do not seem to be particularly adept at maintaining social interactions and seem socially shy or awkward at best. This viewpoint goes to imply why, among employees with similar concepts of literacy and numeracy and knowledge, some happen to excel others from beginning to end.
Qualifications plus social skills can be one of the best formulas for one's career success, the IQ and the EQ being equally crucial in the modern job market. Ignoring social skills may often lead to undue conflict or disharmony when working as a group because there are circumstances under which logical reasoning alone could not entirely tackle day-to-day sensitive problems. So, as long as employability is concerned, there is no "either/or" question but the answer must necessarily be "both." [By Jeenn Lee Hsieh essay3663@hotmail.com ]
#復(fù)習(xí)隱形模板的運(yùn)用。真題+范文+公式
回憶2011年1月12日雅思A類寫作試題大意：城鄉(xiāng)設(shè)立圖書館的必要。復(fù)習(xí)隱形模板的操作運(yùn)用。強(qiáng)迫自己18句，不多不少，其用意在于知道寫作路程的遠(yuǎn)近，但求心里有數(shù)，如此動(dòng)作才會(huì)快。東張西望，想西想東的考生容易陷于彷徨不前，終于跑題，半途而廢。
隱形模板的公式既定，作文也變得簡(jiǎn)單多了。其它的問(wèn)題是英文的問(wèn)題。英文的問(wèn)題就是造句的問(wèn)題。從頭到尾都是造句的工作。
>Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others, however, believe that it is a waste of money since the public can use the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

In addition, computers in libraries also offer free Internet connection and other electronic resources, such as reference CD-ROMs. 15. Now that anyone can create a Web site, reliability of information on the Internet is not guaranteed, and as such there are cases in which the Internet is no substitute for the library.
