IELTS范文：为富之道也，助人为乐

题目:

Some people think the most important thing about being rich is that it gives an opportunity to help other people.  To what extent do you agree or disagree?

题目:

Some people say that the best thing about being rich is being able to help other people.  To what extent do you agree or disagree?

任务：

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

【解析】：作文题目其实没有标准答案，也没有错误的答案或正确的答案。题目问：有人以为富人的一件要事就是有机会帮助别人。你“同意或不同意”的程度到哪里？

回答—

作者认为一种可行的答案是“同意”说A。有钱人最好助人为乐，基于传统智慧与科学研究，B。但是富人可以选择自己热衷的原由来帮助别人，其快乐程度更大。

以下一篇范文只是个人的答案，绝对不是官方的标准答案。范文之后专栏讨论作文心图，逻辑结构（影子模版）。

如果考生想搞笑，也可以回答说：有钱人最重要的是自己懂得享受人生，天天吃喝玩乐，凭什么需要帮助别人呢？这种“不同意”的观点很有趣味，也没有跑题，但是这个自私自利的立场，似乎不容易自圆其说。

题目里并没有提到“快乐”与“富人.的必然性。这是作者个人个人答题的立场，做为主题：为富之道也，助人为乐。

分成四段：主题贯穿全文。

第一段引言开头  你说你想说什么立场（主题），按指标A/B分两方面A来说。申论真题，一分为二。

（如果富人觉得快乐，那么拿钱助人不是觉得超快乐吗？响亮的回答：是的。A，富人能做最好的事就是帮助别人，何乐而不为，B，特别当富人选择自己热衷的原由来帮助别人的时候，其乐更大。）

第二段中体A段 你先说一方面指标A，连贯主题。

（富人越是帮助别人，则越感到快乐，这看法来自古老智慧和新的研究。）

第三段中体B段 你再说一方面指标B，连贯主题。

（富人感到格外快乐，如果他们选择自己所特别热衷的原由来帮助别人。）

第四段结论尾段 你说你说过了什么A/B。二合为一，重申主题。

（A。钱财能助人，何乐而不为，B。特别当富人选择自己热衷的原由来帮助别人，则其乐更大。是的，富人能做最好的事就是能帮助别人。哪里有富人能助人反而变不快乐或因此变穷呢？

【范文】:

If being rich is being happy, can helping others be a super-happiness? The resounding answer is yes.  The best thing about being wealthy is that it provides an opportunity to feel happy for being able to help others, particularly when the rich are giving for those causes which they are particularly passionate about.

Generally, those who are happiest are those who give the most to others, according to ancient wisdom and new research.  It makes conventional sense that helping other people in need is a path to everlasting happiness.  There is a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.  If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.  If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.  If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” Scientifically speaking, giving can activate the same parts of the brain that are stimulated by food and sex.  Experiments show that altruism, or selfless concern for the well-being of others, is hard-wired in the brain, and it is pleasurable.  In view of all this information, helping others may be just the secret to living a life that is both happy and meaningful.

However, it is important to remember that helping others for different causes does not always make the rich feel the same level of happiness.  Sometimes the opposite could be true if rich people are being cajoled into giving, such as when friends ask them to donate to their fundraisers.  In this case, giving can make the rich feel taken advantage of, even it is the right thing to do.  Therefore, to be really happy in helping others, the rich can choose the causes they love. Passionate love being the foundation for their giving, it is only natural that rich people care about this cause and not that cause.  Indeed, giving to a cause that specifies what they are going to do with their money can lead to a positive feeling of everlasting happiness rather than a negative feeling of resentment. Understandably, it is not only how much money they give, but also how much love they put into giving.

When it comes to giving, rich people can choose the causes that fit them to achieve happiness to a higher extent.  True enough, nothing is happier than to be rich and to have an opportunity to help other people. Does anybody rich feel unhappy and become poor for giving?  

【引言与结论】：结论是引言的倒影。结论后应，引言前呼。引言中有结论；结论中有引言。引言和结论：结论句子组合相似引言，结论句子排列颠倒引言。一篇自圆其说的文章，引言中话从哪里说起，同样的话也必须在结论中结束。前呼后应。作文心图，影子模版，逻辑结构。

引言—同结论，是中体的缩影。一分为二，A/B。

2. The resounding answer is yes.

3. The best thing about being wealthy is that it provides an opportunity to feel happy for being able to help others, particularly when the rich are giving for those causes which they are passionate about.

【中体A段与B段】：引言是中体两段的缩影。每一段的第一句是指标句A/B（topic sentence）。话分两头，A与B，支持引言中的答题立场（主题）。

A. 中体A指标句，来自引言的答题立场。这一段，接着指标句之后的几个句子都是支持解释指标句。

Generally, those who are happiest are those who give the most to others, according to ancient wisdom and new research.

B. 中体B指标句，来自引言的答题立场。这一段，接着指标句之后的几个句子都是支持解释指标句。

However, it is important to remember that helping others for different causes does not always make the rich feel the same level of happiness.
