　　解析&审题

　　题材：文化

　　题型：Argumentation

　　关键词：culture+imported film and TV programs+develop their own

　　需要讨论的观点：引进还是开发自己的影视节目？

　　建议思路：双边讨论：先谈引进国外影视节目对于文化的好处，再谈发展自己的影视节目的好处，最后给出自己的观点（比如更赞同发展自己的影视节目，因为引进外国影视节目有潜在风险）。

　　复现情况：新题

　　近年出现的“影视”题材雅思作文题目：

　　1. The number of people who watch foreign films is much more than people who watch local films. Why is this? Should the government provide financial support to the local film industry? （2011/8/27）看外国电影的人比看本国电影的人更多，原因何在？政府是否应该资助本国电影业？

　　2. Films and computer games containing violence are popular now. Some people think they have a negative effect on society and should be banned while other people think they are harmless entertainment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.（2011/10/29）是否应该禁止暴力电影和电脑游戏？

　　3. The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the level of violent crime in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （2017/5/20）为了降低犯罪率，政府应该控制暴力影视，你是否同意这个观点？

　　4. Some people think that schools should stop teaching students by using books because students find them boring, and that children can learn from films, TV, video games and computer instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （2018/8/18）学生可以通过影视电脑来学习，因此学校不应再用书本来教学生了吗？

　　本次考题是一个新题，2011年8月27日的考题也涉及外国电影和本土电影的问题，但提问的重心有明显差别。

　　本题的题干是这样的：有人认为，从国外进口影视对本国的文化有好处，而另外一些人则认为，应该大力发展本国影视节目。

　　这个题材对大家应该不是很难，因为这是一个我们平时都喜欢讨论和思考的话题。值得注意的是，题干明确 “it is good for a country’s culture to show imported film and TV program”，因此在讨论进口影视节目的好处时，需要结合这样做对“文化”的好处：比如，引进国外影视作品，有利于我们了解国外的风土人情，开阔眼界，从而发现自己文化中的不足而加以改进，一些创新的节目形式也可以启发本国影视，从而开发出更好本国节目来。

　　发展本国影视节目的好处则更容易想到：在物质层面上，影视业可以创造经济价值，提供就业机会；在精神和社会层面上，只有本国影视才能更好地反映本国文化，从而娱乐和教育本国观众，同时帮助本国文化在全球的推广。

　　我的观点：

　　我们应该更加重视发展本国影视节目，因为外国影视节目虽然可以为我们所借鉴，但其中暗含的文化价值观可能影响我们，尤其是青少年，从而造成本国文化的扭曲，甚至丢失。

　　特别提醒：

　　双边讨论的作文中，务必在最后一段明确给出自己的观点。

　　Culturally, importing foreign films and TV programs can be very beneficial, but I believe a country should attach greater importance to developing its own entertainment industry.

　　The exposure to foreign movies and TV programs will certainly help broaden our vision and produce two favorable results. From foreign movies and TV programs, we can learn a lot about customs and lifestyles of other countries, which provides us with excellent opportunities to reflect upon our own culture and prompts us to improve it. Meanwhile, foreign movies and TV programs can help boost the local entertainment industry by showing new possibilities in the field. One good example is a TV program called “Voice of Holland” which was originally shown in Holland, quickly re-adapted and became popular all over the world.

　　For all the benefits of imported movies and TV programs, we should always prioritize the development of our own. At the most basic level, as entertainment is a huge market which can create thousands and millions of jobs and generate tremendous profits, it would be a great shame to give up this industry to other countries. More importantly, far from merely means of entertainment, movies and TV programs are also carriers of thoughts and ideas, so it may result in some devastating consequences if people, especially young people, depend too much on movies and TV programs from other countries for their entertainment. Many youngsters in China, for example, no longer celebrate traditional Chinese festivals as they grow up watching too many movies produced by Hollywood. In this sense, developing the local entertainment industry is significant not only economically but also culturally.

　　To sum up, while we should certainly import foreign movies and TV programs, the ultimate reason for the importation is that it can help us to produce better movies and TV programs of our own.

　　接触外国电影和电视节目肯定会有助于拓宽我们的视野，产生两个有利的结果。从外国电影和电视节目中，我们可以了解到许多其他国家的风俗习惯和生活方式，这为我们提供了反思自己文化的机会，并促使我们改进自己的文化。同时，外国电影和电视节目可以通过展示娱乐领域里新的可能性来帮助推动当地娱乐业。一个很好的例子是名为“荷兰好声音”的电视节目，它最初在荷兰播出，很快在全球被重新改编，并流行起来。

　　For all the benefits of imported movies and TV programs, we should always prioritize the development of our own. At the most basic level, as entertainment is a huge market which can create thousands and millions of jobs and generate tremendous profits, it would be a great shame to give up this industry to other countries.

In this sense, developing the local entertainment industry is significant not only economically but also culturally.

　　进口电影和电视节目虽然有这些益处，但我们应该始终优先考虑自己的发展。在最基本的层面上，由于娱乐是一个巨大的市场，可以创造数千万个就业机会并创造巨大的利润，因此将这个行业拱手让给其他国家非常可惜。更重要的是，电影和电视节目不仅是娱乐手段，而且也是思想和观念的载体，因此，如果人们，特别是年轻人过于依赖来自其他国家的电影和电视节目，可能会造成一些破坏性的后果。例如，中国的许多年轻人不再庆祝中国的传统节日，因为他们是看太多好莱坞电影长大的。从这个意义上说，发展当地的娱乐业不仅在经济上而且在文化上也是重要的。
