雅思写作中与女性相关的话题素材！_雅思写作
又到了一年一度的妇女节啦!前段时间相信大家都被上野千鹤子与三位北大女生关于“女性主义”讨论的内容刷屏了。在这个特殊的节日里，小航和大家聊一聊女性主义在英语中的表达，以及在雅思中的权重和例子。
Feminism
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY
[ˈfemənɪzm]
n.女权主义;女权运动;男女平等主义
Feminism is the belief and aim that women should have the same rights, power, and opportunities as men.
There are four syllables in this word:
fe-mi-ni-sm.
女性主义(feminism)又可以叫做：女性权利(women’s right)，或妇女解放(women’s liberation)。
女性主义的定义如下：
Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women.
意思是说，女性主义是一系列的运动和意识形态，他们的共同目标是为女性定义，建立和获得同等的政治，经济，文化，个人和社会权利。
女性主义运动(Feminist movements)的内容包括：
女性选举权(women's suffrage, woman suffrage or woman's right to vote)，女性担任公职的权利(the right to hold public office)，女性工作和获得公平报酬的权利(the right to work, to earn fair wages or equal pay)，女性财产拥有权(the right to own property)，女性生育权利(reproductive rights for women)。
其中女性生育权里面包括可以获得避孕和流产(including access to contraceptives and abortion)。
另外女性主义运动还致力保护妇女和女孩免受强奸，性骚扰和家庭暴力(protect women and girls from rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence)。
雅思口语
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY
作为雅思口语Part 2 的高频话题，我们经常会遇见以下话题：
Describe an important festival in your country
You should say:
· When it is
· Who you celebrate with
· What People do during this festival
And explain why this festival is important
Describe a festival that is important in your country
You should say:
· When the festival occurs
· What you do during it
· What you like or dislike about it
And explain why this festival is important to you
节日类话题都是让考生从节日时间，过节的人，节日的活动以及此节日的重要性方面来展开描述，这里不妨就以此次的妇女节话题为例说一下，我们可以先参考上面的英语解释对妇女节进行简单的描述，这个节日的意义就是：
提高对女性的尊重(Respect all the women);
给她们更多的女性权益 (Women’s rights);
同时提高女性自主的“自尊(Self-respect)、自信(Self-confidence)、自立(Self-dependence)、自强(self-improvement)”的意识。
另外还可以再此延伸，每年妇女节都会评选出在各个领域做出了巨大贡献的女性，颁发“三八红旗手”的称号，俗话说妇女能顶半边天(Women hold up half the sky)，这句好话真不是盖的。
由此我们可以涉及到一些关于人物的雅思口语话题。比如：
Discribe a famous people/Describe a well-known people/ Discribe a famous people whom you dream to meet / Discribe a famous people in your country……这些话题往往会让考生从三个方面来描述，包括这个人是谁，为什么他/她会出名。
这里我们可以去了解一下一些杰出女性，来扩充一些背景知识。

现在全世界对于女性话题都越来越关注，这在雅思大作文中也有体现。
而且就出题概率而言，几乎每年都会至少出现一次关于女性相关的考题。所以大家除了关注最高频的教育、政府和科技类话题外，也可以适当关注一下这一类话题应该如何展开。
下面先给大家看看，在雅思真实考试中，都出现过哪些关于女性的话题：
In some countries, more and more fathers are staying at home to look after children, while mothers work full time. What are the reasons and is it a positive or negative development?
题目大意：在某些国家，越来越多父亲在家照顾孩子，而母亲在外全职工作。发生这种情况的原因有哪些?你认为这是一种积极的还是消极的发展?
In many countries, women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first month after the birth of their baby. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages?
题目大意：许多国家的工作女性都允许在生完孩子后的一个月休产假。你认为这种情况优点大于缺点吗?
Men and women employed in full-time jobs should share equally the responsibilities of household chores. Do you agree or disagree?
题目大意：全职夫妻在家里应该平等分担家务。你是否同意这个观点?
以上这三个话题都出现在2017年-2018年，而雅思大作文考试题目也有“四年一轮回”的潜规则，所以要考雅思的烤鸭们可以重点关注一下这三个女性主义相关的话题，说不定它们的变形题目就会出现在哪场考试里。
除了以上考过的一些写作题目外，也有一些和女性相关的内容也可以应用到雅思作文中，比如说，
雅思写作女性主义类话题
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY
The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. Many of the problem young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children.

好啦，今天关于妇女节和女性主义的雅思内容就谈到这里，别忘了和身边爱的人送上祝福哦。
最后，引用Taylor Swift在NYU全校毕业典礼上被授予艺术博士的演讲中一段话：
I leave you with this: We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition, our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams. And you will screw it up sometimes. So will I. And when I do, you will most likely read about on the internet. Anyway…hard things will happen to us. We will recover. We will learn from it. We will grow more resilient because of it.
