在雅思寫作考試當(dāng)中，經(jīng)常會(huì)遇到一些社會(huì)生活當(dāng)中的真切話題，需要學(xué)生根據(jù)自己的生活閱歷來進(jìn)行解答，本期我們給大家分享一篇雅思寫作當(dāng)中的高頻話題：孩子們很難專心學(xué)習(xí)的原因及解決辦法，Children today find it difficult to concentrate on or pay attention to school，希望對備考雅思的小伙伴有所幫助！

原題：

Children today find it difficult to concentrate on or pay attention to school. What are the reasons? How can we solve this problem?

解析：

本題為報(bào)告類題目，關(guān)鍵詞是children，需要貼近孩子們的情況來討論他們?yōu)槭裁床荒軐Ｐ膶W(xué)習(xí)。孩子們不能專心學(xué)習(xí)的原因無非就是內(nèi)因和外因。外因很容易找到，網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲的干擾，電視節(jié)目的干擾，或者課本太枯燥無聊等等，內(nèi)因也容易發(fā)現(xiàn)，比如現(xiàn)在有很多宣傳，不需要讀書也能成功，這樣孩子們就沒有學(xué)習(xí)的動(dòng)力了。

解決辦法也很簡單、直接，比如控制孩子們使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)的時(shí)間，同時(shí)告訴孩子們讀書的重要性（即使不能掙錢，也能讓你的生活更充實(shí)和幸福）。

范文：

Students ought to spend most of their time on the school work, but nowadays it is not uncommon that students are simply not able to put their heart to study. There could be two reasons why this happens.

First, today the students are surrounded by so many distractions that they gradually find that learning is too boring and uninteresting. While students two decades ago had nearly no choice but sit in the classroom and read books, students today have easy and fast access to the Internet, on which they can do almost all things. For instance, they can play computer games, watch videos, search for any information they need, and chat with their friends, to mention just a few. So, having been used to this kind of “easy” online life, many young people simply cannot put their heart into the more serious and consuming school work.

Another important factor that affects the students' attitude towards their school work is that a good education seems not as important as before. For quite a long time, receiving a good education was the only way for young people to get a decent job and earn a high salary. But now, this is apparently not the case any more. Influenced by business stars like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, many young people now begin to believe that one’s success does not have much to do the education s/he receives. The students, therefore, are not motivated enough to focus on their learning.

As education of the young is so important to the future of the world, we ought to find ways out of this embarrassing situation. For example, the school and parents should work together to set limits on the time children spend online. The Internet is a good great invention, yet obsession with it will certainly reduce the time that should have been put to more serious work. Besides, young people should be made to understand that life is not just about making money, but about having rich and colorful experience. Education is the best gateway to that rewarding life.
