雅思高分范文：学商科还是历史？

题目

Some people think there could be more benefits to society if more people study business than history.To what extent do you agree or disagree? （221217）

解析与思路

本题涉及教育话题中“学什么”的问题，在老雅以前的推文中多次出现类似的题目，也是大家都熟悉的题目，但大家要注意精准审题。以下是雅思考试真题中涉及“历史”的话题：

130518：Many people think all children should learn history in school. Others think they should learn subjects more relevant to life. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 所有孩子都应该学习历史吗？

190801：Some people think it is important for all children to learn history at school. Others believe that other subjects are more relevant to children’s development today. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 所有孩子都应该学习历史吗？

220604：It is more important for school children to learn about their local history than the world history. Do you agree or disagree? 本国历史比世界历史更重要吗？（点击阅读老雅高分范文）

相比于13年和19年的两次考题，本次考试有三个特点：

（1）具体要求比较business和history;

（2）没有限定children，而是更广泛的people；

（3）“benefits to society” ，因此要更聚焦讨论“对社会的好处”。

学习历史和学习商科哪个对社会更有益? 我们当然知道，两者其实都有各自的好处：商科与我们的现实生活息息相关，如果更多人懂得怎样管理企业，怎样做国际贸易，那势必会提升整个社会的商业规则和商业环境，提升一个社会的商业竞争力，让社会变得更加有序和富裕。

但历史也很重要，因为历史让我们记住过去，让社会中的所有人产生归属感，社会就更团结，也更和谐。

【注意：这里所有讨论都十分贴近“社会”这个关键词；如果考生写“学习商科更容易找到工作”，那就有点偏题了！】

双边讨论之后，考生需要就题目问题明确表明自己的观点了：如果学习商科的人比学习历史的人更多，这会更有益于社会吗？我的答案是肯定的，因为一个社会的稳定，首先是建立在稳固的经济基础上的，而更多人学习商科，显然更有利于创造一个富裕的社会。但是，这并不意味着历史就可以完全被忽视，一个稳定的社会总是需要有一些人提醒我们不能忘记历史。

这样的观点，既客观，又很明确。

高分范文

As far as the society is concerned, I think it is important for people to study both business and history. Subjects related to business tell people how to run a company and how to do international transactions in proper ways, and thus enhance their management competence and the entire business environment of a society. All these will contribute to a society which is more competitive and therefore wealthier. The knowledge of history also benefits the society, albeit in different ways. History is important in that it reminds people in a certain community of their common past, so that they will have a strong sense of belonging, which is definitely conducive to the unity and harmony of the community. That said, I would suggest that the society perhaps need more people who study business than history. As we all know, the stability of a society is always founded upon its prosperity. In other words, the economical strength is the first and foremost condition for an ideal society. To strengthen its economy, a society must provide a favorable business environment to attract more market players, and such an environment can only be created when more people have learned how a market is supposed to operate, which is exactly what the business subject is all about. To conclude, while a society always needs some people to help remember its past, I do agree that more people should get involved in business. It is hard to imagine what a society would look like if it had more historians than business people.
