5月20日雅思大作文示范

  2021年5月20雅思大作文题目Many people think the best way to learn a culture is to learn the language of it.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

范文及解析

  Introduction，As an inseparable part of culture, language helps people understand more about it. However, learning a culture is likely to need way more than just improving language proficiency.

解析：不可否认我们可以通过语言学习来了解文化，但这是不是较佳方式还是有待商榷的。

Body Paragraph 1

  Language is intertwined with culture. (接下来展开论述)To unlock a language, it goes far beyond memorizing alphabets, words, and grammatical rules, as outside of the cultural context, it would be difficult to understand the connotation behind phrases like “fly by the seats of your pants”. Thus, language learners always strive to be good culture learners, reading up on literature, where history, customs, and values, in other words, the phenomena peculiar to a given culture, are recorded. That is why some people regard language acquisition as the key to culture learning.

解析：诚然，语言和文化是分不开的。为了提高语言能力，学习者(或主动或被动)都会去研习文本，也就是在学习文化了。

Body Paragraph 2

  However, is culture embodied in literature only? The answer is obviously no.(接下来展开论述)It manifests in other components like food, music, painting, and religious belief. With this in mind, individuals can opt for an outboard journey, in which they can sample native cuisine and celebrate holidays with locals, as another way to gain an authentic glimpse into the culture; or, it seems desirable to visit local museums, appreciating the antique artifacts on display. Those approaches seem more important and feasible to people who wish to experience diverse cultures considering the fact that few of them are capable of learning all the languages of the culture they are interested in.

解析： 陈述作者本身观点这段，思考一下：难道不学会语言，就没有其他方式了解文化了吗?

Conclusion

  In conclusion, to truly familiarize us with a new culture, getting to learn its language is effective, yet far from the best. Where culture is embodied, be it in food, festivals, or antiques, there is a way to comprehend the culture.
