2017.03.04雅思写作范文:年轻人不喜欢学习的原因及解决办法？Many young people leave school with negative attitudes towards learning. Why? How to encourage positive attitudes?
首先申明一下：本题中的learning有一定歧义，它既可指学习，也可以指学问/知识。
那么，本题到底是说年轻人对学习的态度是消极的，还是对学问/知识的态度是消极的？
仔细想来，两者的差异还蛮大的：如果是对学习的态度不好，那原因可能就是外在因素（包括网络游戏的影响）和内在因素（学习太辛苦，而且好像不学习一样可以生活得很好）；如果是对学问/知识的态度不好，那原因可能就是外在因素（学的知识太陈旧，很枯燥）和内在因素（在崇尚物质的社会里，对知识没有敬畏之心）。本文按照一般理解，选择讨论个意义：即讨论学生为什么不喜欢学习的原因及解决办法。
其实，本题在2014年曾经两度出现。
2014年1月18日问的是现在学生为什么不能潜心学习的原因，而同年5月24日的雅思作文题目则与本题完全一样。
从本质上看，这两题的问题是一致的：学生不喜欢学习=学生对学习采取消极态度。如前所述，在讨论原因的时候，我们可以首先讨论浅层次的原因，比如现在各种干扰（distraction）太多，然后讨论深层次的原因，比如现在大家觉得学习好与生活好之间的关系不是那么紧密了。至于解决办法，则可分别针对这两个原因提出：比如，控制学生游戏时间，鼓励他们阅读；或者让学生明白，生活好的定义不仅仅是好工作和高收入，还包括对世界的认识和理解，不学习是不可能达到后者境界的。
Many young people, once leaving school, have expressed their resentment toward learning, saying they will never get back to school. Then, what makes these young people hate their school life so vehemently?
There could be two reasons why this happens. First, today the students are surrounded by so many distractions that they gradually find that learning is too boring and uninteresting. While students two decades ago had nearly no choice but sit in the classroom and read books, students today have easy and fast access to Internet, on which they can do almost all things. For instance, they can play computer games, watch videos, search for any information they need, and chat with their friends, to mention just a few. So, having been used to this kind of “easy” online life, many young people simply cannot put their heart into the more serious and consuming school work.
Another important factor that affects the students' attitude towards learning is that a good education seems not as important as before. For quite a long time, receiving a good education was the only way for young people to get a decent job and earn a high salary. But now, this is apparently not the case any more. Influenced by business stars like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, many young people now begin to believe that one’s success is not in proportion to the education s/he receives. The students, therefore, are not motivated enough to focus on their learning.
As education of the young is so important to the future of the world, we ought to find ways out of this embarrassing situation. For example, the school and parents should work together to set limits on the time children spend online and encourage them to devote more time to learning. Besides, young people should be made to understand that life is not just about making money, but about having rich and colorful experience and learning is the best gateway to that rewarding life.
