题目：unemployment is one of the most serious problems facing developed nations today. what are the advantages and disadvantages of reducing the working week to thirty five hours?
It is said people were working longer hours now than 30 years ago even though unemployment was at 2.5 million. The working week should be cut to 35 hours to help boost the economy and improve quality of life, a left-wing think tank has said.
As the politicians intended, cutting working hours helps the regression of economy. Being in recession since the financial crisis broke out in 2008, the world economy need a strong impulse, namely substantial consumption increase, to recover. And cutting working week increases consumption because people will have more time to shop. Increased consumption in turn boosts the production and therefore brings economy into an upward spiral.
Besides, shorter working week gives people more time to be with families and friends than before. Nowadays, people work forty or even fifty hours a week which makes them have no time, and too exhausted, to spend on families.
But reducing working hours can have some disadvantages. Firstly, it at the same time reduces people’s income. Employees are normally paid according to the length of working, so if they work less they earn less. Secondly, this will make the public lose their faith of economic recovery because the underlying meaning of this ordinance, although is actually not, is that the society does not need people to work as long as before. If so, there might be a crisis of confidence in the economy.作者: cherub 时间: 21-11-2011 00:35

兄弟你算是跑题专家了。咱们先翻译一下题目，失业是很多发达国家目前最大的问题之一，每周工作时间削减至三十五小时的利与都是什么？这个利与弊不是让你漫天讨论，简而言之，这是个主题套主题的题，无论利还是弊，不能离开失业这个主题中的主题。在这就不罗列你列的那些的正面观点反面观点了，很会跑题。作者: woshiwopa 时间: 21-11-2011 00:45

尼玛这题目这太BT了
单一topic的我都没搞清楚呢，还复合topic作者: cherub 时间: 21-11-2011 00:49 标题: 回复 #5 woshiwopa 的帖子 就是缩短工作时间对失业这个现实的正面和负面影响。我们读书时老师说过，题目里的每个字都是关键的，绝对不能忽视。作者: cherub 时间: 21-11-2011 00:50
或者这么说，题库再不提高难度，雅思作文就没法判了，模板都在用，内容没漏洞，分数谁高谁低？这种题在业内叫做陷阱题，中国人早就用了。作者: woshiwopa 时间: 21-11-2011 00:50 标题: 回复 #7 蔚什么 的帖子 我看到题目的时候就很纳闷，怎么感觉有两个topic呀，那我怎么写啊？结果。。。就跑了。。。作者: woshiwopa 时间: 21-11-2011 00:52 标题: 回复 #8 蔚什么 的帖子 反正我中文作文也经常跑题。。。
英文作文也延续了中文作文的作风作者: cherub 时间: 21-11-2011 00:52
没关系别紧张，一般复合的最多就两层，因为250单词加45分钟的限制，题目不可能太困难。作者: mrface 时间: 21-11-2011 00:57
1. 关于should be。 个人认为，最好不要出现，没有什么东西是should be的，我们要论证的东西，用陈述的就好，should be语气太强烈了，不适合在议论文中出现。
2. 严重跑题。PS如果跑题，作文最多5.5作者: woshiwopa 时间: 21-11-2011 00:59 标题: 回复 #11 蔚什么 的帖子 好吧，我回去再改改，再练习下这种文章
谢谢小胖啊，感觉你对题目的把握特别准作者: woshiwopa 时间: 21-11-2011 01:01 标题: 回复 #12 mrface 的帖子 哎。。。老问题了，老跑题。。。
另外，那个should be 是引用别人的话，应该没问题吧？作者: whw_stop 时间: 21-11-2011 01:41
