【雅思培训-阅读】文化概念要摸清：雅思阅读配对题巧解<

雅思阅读里有一种段落信息配对题，被形象地称为断子绝孙题，以示其登峰造极的难度系数。那么，雅思大作文里的文化类题型又该怎么来概括呢，只能让我联想到著名的灾难片-后天，see you next time,不过，好莱坞式的灾难片总会给人留下一丝丝美好的寄托，于是，是否碰到如此题型一定就要逃之夭夭了呢?做成事讲究的是有备而来。

回顾从2013年至今，雅思阅读中这种非主流题型并非是一招致命，考点的规律性(文化多元化，国际旅游与本土文化，商品同一化的损失，民族服饰，传统音乐形式，本土食物)决定了备考中的明确性，踌躇满志还是惊慌失措，得失成败只在一念之间。

文化多元化 Multiculturalism

Multicultural societies, which are mixed with different ethnic people, bring more benefits than drawbacks, to what extent do you agree or disagree? (20060826)

We have a population with a mix of cultures and ethnics in a country. Why is this the case?　Has this become a positive or negative development?　(20121013)

多元文化意味着平等，和平的共存关系

Multiculturalism refers several cultures can exist equitably and peacefully in one country,instead of a single national culture,like United States,UK,and Canada.

Benefits of Multiculturalism

1.Increase immigration增加移民

我家就是我家，可是，你家却也是我家

Due to the multiculturalism policy in Canada, many immigrants have moved to that country. This is because they get to retain their ancestry and cultural values while concurrently feeling at home in Canada.

2. New ideas新的想法---吃的畅快，玩的潇洒

With the fusion of several cultures in America, the citizens now are equipped with better ideas . For instance, there are several kinds of food available due to multiculturalism like Chinese food and tacos. Moreover, there are different sports that other cultures brought from their countries.

3. Enhances national unity加强国家的统一性

让冲突少点，再少点，让爱多点，再多点。

Cultural conflicts and hate usually cause a divide within a nation. However, cooperation, inclusion and respect assist in uniting a country.

4. Boosts creativity促进创新---我们都是非主流

Creativity would be limited while the society just has one single predominated culture,wheres having a diverse mixture of cultures and people inspires people to think differently and thus enhance their creativity.

Negative sides of multiculturalism

1堡垒也是会塌陷的，你以为种族冲突是开玩笑的吗?

It is not uncommon that believing in your ancestral traditions and values when you reside in a nation that has different ideals may cause conflict sometimes，and racial tension is inevitable.

2身在他乡为异客

It is highly difficult to adapt to new environment and change original daily lives，making them feel like visitors in their hometown

3ISIS并非是传说

Misunderstanding and intolerance to residents of different nationalities may cause brutal terrorist acts and even take the lives of many innocent people

真题分析

In the past, people used to travel to different places to see the differences. Today, the places around the world seem to be similar. What are the causes of the similarity? Do you think its advantages outweigh the disadvantages?(20090829 )

无法被替代的民族手工艺品

A country's history,language and ethos are all inextricably bound up in its manufactured artefacts.If the relentless advance of international brands into every corner of the world continues,these bland packages might one day completely oust the traditional objects of a nation,which would be a loss of richness and diversity in the world, as well as the sad disappearance of manifestations of a place's character.

Fijian kava ----a plant that is crushed and mixed with water,and drunk in groups.

What would a Japanese tea ceremony be without its specially crated teapot,or a Fijian kava ritual without its bowl made from a certain type of tree bark?(剑桥十)
