在寫英語(yǔ)作文時(shí)，估計(jì)大部分人都試過(guò)用Nowadays開頭,。類似Nowadays, with the development of society...的開頭比比皆是,。

在雅思英語(yǔ)作文中，是否也適合用Nowadays來(lái)開頭呢,？

答案當(dāng)然是可以使用,。考官并不會(huì)因?yàn)榇蠹沂褂肗owadays開頭而扣分,。盡管如此，大家還是應(yīng)該注意到,，不是每篇英語(yǔ)作文都適合使用Nowadays開頭,。

然而,，當(dāng)我們使用Nowadays的時(shí)候,，應(yīng)該是在對(duì)現(xiàn)在和過(guò)去進(jìn)行比較,。例如：Fifty years ago, only the rich could afford international holidays, but nowadays foreign travel is relatively inexpensive.（50年前,，只有富人才能負(fù)擔(dān)得起出國(guó)度假,，然而現(xiàn)如今,，出國(guó)旅游卻相對(duì)沒(méi)那么昂貴了）,。這里使用Nowadays比較50年前和現(xiàn)在的出國(guó)旅游。

因此,，如果大家使用Nowadays開始英語(yǔ)作文時(shí)，是在比較過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在,，則沒(méi)有任何問(wèn)題。否則就是用錯(cuò)了,。

許多雅思考官也并不推薦大家使用Nowadays開頭，因?yàn)榭雌饋?lái)比較初級(jí),。所以如果大家有更好的方法開頭,，盡可能不要使用Nowadays.

下面是考官推薦的幾種常見方法：

1. It is true that
2. People have mixed views about
3. Many people argue that
4. It is undeniable that

下面是某考生使用it is true that 開頭寫的一段滿分作文開頭段，值得大家好好研究,。

Caring for children is probably the most important job in any society. Because of this, all mothers and fathers should be required to take a course that prepares them to be good parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

滿分開頭段如下：

It is true that

parents shoulder a huge responsibility and that raising children is by no means an easy task. However, I completely disagree with the idea that we should therefore force all mothers and fathers to attend parenting courses.

上面題目和開頭段中值得大家學(xué)習(xí)的短語(yǔ)：

• Caringfor children 照看小孩
• A course that prepare them to be good parents 幫助他們成為合格父母的課程
• shoulder a huge responsibility 承擔(dān)巨大的責(zé)任
• raising children 撫養(yǎng)小孩
• is by no means an easy task 不是一件容易的事
• force all mothers and fathers to attend parenting courses 強(qiáng)迫父母參加父母技能課程
