思路

开头段：改写原题。(The  bar chart compares the proportion of Australian 5- to 14-year-olds taking  part in five different daily activities over a fortnight.）

总结段：watching  TV是最受这一年龄段人喜爱的活动。男性除了在arts and crafts上比女性比例要低，在其余四项活动上均高于女性。

主体段一：描述三个男女比例都较高的活动（cycling, watching TV和computer games）。其中，watching TV男女比例差不多几乎是100%，cycling和computer games男女比例差基本接近。

主体段二：描述剩余的两项。skateboarding一项上男性比女性比例略高，但是在arts and crafts一项上女性比例高于男性而且比例差是20%，是所有五项中最大的。

类似旧题

Some  people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of  high school programme (for example working for a charity, improving the  neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you  agree or disagree? (剑9, Test 2)

写作思路

开头段：第一句话引入话题（现在，越来越多的年轻人积极参加无偿社区服务，比如为慈善机构工作、改善社区、教小孩子运动等/ Nowadays, an increasing number of young people are  enthusiastically involved in unpaid community services, such as working for a charity, improving  the neighbourhood and teaching sports to younger children.）。第二句话表明自己的观点（我认为，这一趋势利大于弊/ In my  opinion, the advantages of this trends outweigh its disadvantages.）。

主体段一：论证无偿社区服务带给the  community以及the young  people的好处

主旨句：无偿社区服务带给年轻人以及社区的好处是显而易见的。（It is clear that performing voluntary work in the community is a  win-win situation for both young adults and the communities they serve.）

分论点一：社区工作可以为年轻人提供培养社会技能的机会。（Community work can equip young adults with more opportunities to  hone their social skills.）

支持句：通过社区服务，他们可以学会如何与人沟通、如何在团队中开展工作、如何管理时间等。（By doing community work, they can learn how to interact with  others, work within a team setting as well as how to manage their time.）这些技能不仅将在他们的个人履历上成为亮点，而且也会转移到生活中的其它方面。（These skills will not only be an asset on their CV, increase their  employability, but also be transferable to other aspects of life, both  personal and professional.）

分论点二：年轻人在社区工作可以促进社区的和谐与稳定。（Young people’s participation in community services contributes to  the harmony and stability of the communities themselves.）

支持句：年轻人更容易与人沟通，可以帮助协调邻里矛盾和纠纷，从而加强社区感。（It is much easier for young people to communicate with others,  which helps mediate conflicts and disputes in neighbourhood and thereby  reinforce cohesion and sense of belonging to the community.）

主体段二：先让步，指出年轻人在社区无偿工作存在的问题，再反驳，这些问题可以得到解决。

让步句：不可否认，年轻人从事无偿社区服务有一定的弊端。（Admittedly,  there are certain risks in doing voluntary community work.）

支持句：其中之一就是年轻人缺乏经验和相关的技能，无法保证工作质量。（One risk is that some young  volunteers lack social experience and skills, which may fail to guarantee the  quality of community work.）

反驳句：但是，可以让有经验的社区工作者指导年轻志愿者开展相关工作。（However, some seasoned community  workers can guide their young counterparts to fulfill relevant assignments.）此外，也有相当一部分年轻志愿者是具备这样的经验和技能的。（What is more, there are a  considerable proportion of young people who are well qualified for such work.）

结论段：尽管年轻人从事无偿社区服务存在一些问题，但是总的来看，利大于弊，应当鼓励年轻人这样做。（Although some problems exist, engaging in the unpaid community  services is still a good idea. Young people should be encouraged to do so, as  it benefits for both parties.）
