雅思大作文7分範文及解析：視覺圖像在新聞中的作用

雙邊類大作文，媒體(ti) 類話題

Some people think visual images （e.g. Photographs, videos) in a news story can accurately tell what happened. Others think it cannot tell the full news story. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.  

題目來源：2022年8月6日大陸雅思大作文

1、題目大意

有些人認為(wei) 新聞報道中的視覺圖像（如照片、視頻）可以準確地說明發生了什麽(me) 。另一些人則認為(wei) 它不能說明完整的新聞故事。討論雙方觀點並給出自己的看法。

2、思路解析

這是一道雙邊類大作文，討論的是圖像在新聞中的作用。雙邊類的題目，需要對每個(ge) 觀點分別表達同意或反對，最終的結論就是我的立場，可以是中立（雙方都同意或都反對），也可以是單邊支持某一方立場。

這道題在雅思哥的回憶中存在另一個(ge) 版本“Others think they are not reliable sources.”而非“Others think it cannot tell the full news story”，但我們(men) 反複跟幾名考試學生確認過了，雅思哥的回憶是錯的（連帶著新東(dong) 方和很多公眾(zhong) 號都是錯的），因此我們(men) 的解析和範文會(hui) 基於(yu) 情報圈獲取到的題目展開。審題時容易出現一個(ge) 誤區，很多同學會(hui) 在作文中把“圖像可以造假”作為(wei) 觀點之一，但是我們(men) 認為(wei) 這個(ge) 觀點是不合適的。因為(wei) 這道題目不是在討論“fake news”新聞可不可信的問題，而是“visual images”在“news”中的作用。下麵月半鴨和大家來一起看下具體(ti) 觀點~

首先來看前者觀點的合理性，有三方麵。

一是相較於(yu) 抽象的文字，照片和視頻能展示事件現場的原始畫麵。讀者僅(jin) 閱讀文字的話需要自己在腦海中構建畫麵，其中難免會(hui) 產(chan) 生偏差。而照片和視頻的展示則真實還原了現場。

二是照片和視頻畫麵能夠包含豐(feng) 富的細節，讀者在看到這些細節後能夠接收到許多信息。而如果用文字可能需要花巨大篇幅來描述甚至會(hui) 有所遺漏。

三是新聞中的視頻會(hui) 包括對於(yu) 當事人或相關(guan) 人士的采訪及分析，能夠讓讀者對事件發生的前因後果有清晰的了解。

再來看後者觀點的合理性，有兩(liang) 方麵。

一是圖像在新聞中的運用有局限性，諸如政治新聞或者財經新聞等一些新聞類型中，照片能發揮的作用是是有限的。比如某家企業(ye) 發生嚴(yan) 重的財務造假事件，僅(jin) 靠照片並沒有辦法完整讓讀者知道造假的金額、產(chan) 生的危害以及如何處理，這些都需要用文字來描述。

二是一些圖像在新聞中的作用可能用來吸引讀者或者激發讀者的情感，這些圖像運用了高超的拍攝手法、構圖和光線對比來達到效果，但並沒有完整交代事情的前因後果，而這部分內(nei) 容依舊需要讀者去閱讀文字才能獲取。

3、提綱

4、高分範文示例

In recent days, news agencies have been using visual images such as videos and photographs to regularly narrate news stories. While some argue for the accuracy that visual images help to convey, others believe that they fail to provide the full picture. I agree with the latter statement and believe that news reports should include both written and visual content.

In some cases, visual images are considered an effective means of conveying accurate information. Firstly, pictures and videos can enhance the visual experience of readers. Images and videos, which are collected from real scenes and show originality, are superior to abstract words that require readers to utilise their imagination to construct images on their own. The second benefit is that visual elements tend to be quite detailed, which allows for a more accurate perception of what is happening. Furthermore, some news videos feature interviews with those involved in the incident as well as witnesses, providing a deeper insight into the causes and consequences of the event.

Others, however, view graphical depiction as insufficient in delivering the full news story. To start with, there are some pictures used in news reports that do not directly support the report’s subject matter. To be specific, some visual images only serve as tools for engaging readers emotionally. In other cases, such as a discussion between two foreign ministers on military and financial strategy, photos function as decorative pieces, which necessitate clearer explanations by providing enough textual details. A further disadvantage of using images exclusively is that it is difficult to illustrate the causes and consequences of some events that span a considerable period of time, which further emphasises the importance of texts.

To conclude, even if visuals play a pivotal role in delivering news to the public that is largely authentic, they occasionally fall short of telling the complete story and make readers confused.
