IB作文练习：音乐的艺术性

　　IB英语作文一般分几段？答案：建议四到五段，也就是主体段两到三段。再多或再少都不合适。再少，主体不分段，文章逻辑感不强，没有达到coherence and cohesion的评分标准；再多，在本身大作文字数不多的情况下，往往意味着没有一个分论点或主体段拓展充分。

　　Music has always been and will continue to be a universal language to mankind. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　高分范文及解析

　　Although there are tens of thousands of languages in the world in which people can communicate with each other, music has always been a resonanceamong human races. People seem to be born with the ability to appreciate music. I believe this opinion is “resonant” with my own understanding.

　　解析

　　很多同学看到这道题可能立马就回想到剑14曾出现过一道类似的题：Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 但实际上深入分析之后，我们发现该题目关键点是在两个动作：“has always been”和“will continue to be”，这样一来难度就陡然上升。到最后你会发现自己写的不是与音乐题材相关的题目，而是一道人文历史题。

　　resonance：共鸣

　　resonant：引起共鸣的

　　Similar to the characteristics of language, music has an irreplaceable function in human life as "expression". While language is more an expression of the rational thinkingof humans, music is more an expression of the subtlety of human perceptual feeling. Instinctually, humans are emotional and sensitive to external sounds. After a long period of evolution, people have discovered that through different rhythms, different pitches and different instrumental combinations, they can express emotions that cannot be depicted solely by words. In this sense, music is a type of sound in nature that accompanies the evolution of human society,bearing a stamp ofthe wit of mankind.

　　解析

　　既然题目的观点是在说音乐是一种“语言”，那这个时候我们就需要先搞清楚音乐和语言之间存在什么关系，是否存在着一定的共性？这种共性显而易见，即都是人类“表达”内心世界的方式。因为都有同样的功能，进而我们就能理解为什么音乐也能被称为是人类的“共通”语言；

　　irreplaceable：不可替代的

　　rational thinking：理性思维

　　subtlety of human perceptual feeling：人类感性认知的细腻

　　instinctually：本能地

　　rhythm：节奏

　　pitch：音高

　　solely：仅仅

　　bearing a stamp of：具备某种特征

　　wit：聪慧

　　Take rock music as an example. Originally born in the United States, rock music made a frenzyin almost every country during the 1960s and 1970s. Young people around the world, despite the fact that they did not speak each other's languages, were extremely enthusiastic about rock and roll. One obvious fact is that the US economy was stagnant at that time, and the Cold War and Vietnam War made people look for an outlet to release their oppressive emotions, so rock music became viral with its explosive mix with various instruments and strong rhythm. In addition, the empathy of music is especially reflected in the movie Green Book: In that historical context, although jazz music featured a strong black music style, its rhythm created a lively atmosphere that could also become a bond of friendship between races.

　　解析

　　上一段纯粹说理，内容较为抽象，所以在这一段要“落地”，用常见的例子佐证我们上一段的阐述：历史上不同国家人们对摇滚乐的热衷，以及对爵士乐的接纳和喜爱都能体现音乐的共通性；

　　frenzy：狂热

　　stagnant：停滞的

　　outlet: 出口

　　oppressive：压抑的

　　viral：（似病毒式）传播的

　　empathy：共情

　　In short, from a historical perspective, music has always been a very important way of expressing human emotions. Currently, the popularity of rhythm and blues, electronic music, and traditional Chinese music can be seen as a microcosmof human emotions in this plural world, so I believe music will remain an essential universal language in the future.

　　解析

　　总结：从历史的眼光看，音乐确实能反映出不同历史时期人类社会的发展历程，而其的流行性也反映出它能够为不同背景的人所欣赏和接受。因此在未来，音乐亦可继续发挥其表达人类情感的作用。

　　rhythm and blues：节奏布鲁斯

　　electronic music：电子音乐

　　microcosm：缩影

　　plural：多元的
