雅思词汇:社会与家庭

社会类题目要求你思考人们如何共同生活。雅思常见话题包括 family 生活的变化、现代社会中 tradition 的作用、immigration、gender equality,以及大城市中日益突出的 loneliness 问题。这类题目青睐能够冷静、准确地讨论敏感议题的考生。

本词组整理了关于人群、群体和社会变迁的词汇。家庭与人生阶段:household、marriage、divorce、parent、childhood、adolescent、teenager、youth、adult。社区与公民:community、population、generation、citizen、citizenship。代际问题很常见,建议练习 the generation gap、younger generations 等短语。

文化与身份认同需要 culture、custom、tradition、traditional、religion、ethnic、identity。谈人口流动时,注意区分 immigrant(移入定居者)、migrant(迁移者,常因工作)以及 immigration、migration 这两个过程。谈公平问题,equality、discrimination、minority、diversity、racism 必不可少,并应在平衡的表述中使用,例如:"Laws against discrimination protect minority groups and make society fairer."

社会问题与解决办法也在本词组中:homeless、isolation、loneliness 描述困境,volunteer 和 charity 描述互助。behaviour、attitude、lifestyle 是几乎所有口语回答都能用到的通用词。defend 也收录在这里:人们捍卫自己的权利、传统和观点。

请记住,其中很多词比较敏感。优先使用 older people、people from minority groups 等中性表达,避免对整个国家或宗教一概而论。冷静、平衡的语气本身就是高分回答的一部分,也会让你的论点在考官看来更有说服力。

每天小步学习:今天的新词明天隔夜复习,之后间隔逐步拉长。为了主动运用,选一个你观察到的社会变化(比如晚婚现象),用本词组的词写一小段,解释其原因和影响。
