电影自发明之初就成为当代人认知世界、了解自身的利器，它通过某个特定的视角或主观或
冷静反映了社会的不同侧面。考试中心分析认为，每年雅思写作涉及媒体方面的考题不是太
多，考察重点较为集中，以讨论电视、广告及包括因特网在内的新闻媒体对现代社会及观念<

电影《楚门的世界》主要是围绕一部记录主人公楚门的真实生

展开的，楚门自出生伊始就生活在摄像机的镜头下，可他却对这
一切浑然不觉。他的生活被

电视

Studies suggest that children spend
more time on watching TV than they did
in the past and
spend less
on doing active or creative things. Why do you
think this is a case? What measurement
and methods can be used to tackle with
it?

News media is more influential
nowadays. Some people think it is a negative
development. To
what extent do you
agree or disagree?
诚然，新闻媒体提供了最及时的信息，但由于利益问题或是其所代表的利益集团使然，
< br>新闻媒体中的一些报道带有一定的主观性，甚至提供歪曲夸大的消息以取得噱头。我们要将
其收为我用而非被它所奴役。
除此之外，一些新现象也体现了老观点，大量商业片植入广告
以获得更多资金支持，反
映了广告对于媒体对于社会对于受众的巨大影响，对雅思写作的
观点提供了思路和来源。
综合以上的讨论，
我们来看看媒体的作用究竟有哪些，

Nowadays,
television
became
a
very
important
task. Some
people
think
that
children
should
not
waste much time on
TV
. However, others argue that children
could watch
TV instead of their other
actives. There are reasons for
different opinion which will be illustrated below.
There are a
great deal of account explain why children should
not waste much time on TV is a good
idea.
First
of
all,
it
can
ruin
the study
life
of
the
student.
TV
is
very
attractive
for children
only
because of the cartoon show and the
comedy soap video. In these kind of video, there
is no literature
and no things for
children to study. The only things it does is make
children happy and let them be
interested in watching tv. As time
goes, TV will be a dominant thing in the daily
life. Furthermore,
there are so much
bad things on the TV that the children will
probably
be ruined. For example, lots
of fighting scenes seem to appear a lot
on the TV show recently. Because of the curiosity
from the
children, most of them want to
have a try and
of course, this cause a
big problem not only for the
society,
but also the children and their parents, so TV
should be banned.
That is my opinion.
Today, it is common that TV news
programmes show the images of disasters and
violence to
the public. Discuss the
reasons and the effects on individuals and the
society.
Nowadays, TV
program had been paid more attention on the
imagines of disasters and violence.
Although there are a lot of reasons
that may affect on the people and the societies,
the government is
still supporting the
media playing disasters and violence scenes.
First of all, they pays a
lot to the government. When the media want to to
show their movies or
advertise
on
TV
,
they
got
to
be
allowed
by
the
TV
program.
HOW?
MONEY!
They
can
play
whatever
they want with spending
a lot of money.
Also, the government feel lazy for
this, it is hard
to delete
all the violent staff on the TV show, so instead,
they will not care about this.
But this
affect the people a lot.
That is it.
