2017年8月19日的雅思作文又是一个毫无悬念的常规考题，难度系数极其有限。正因如此，下文给各位读者从另一个角度展开这篇文章。只为给各位一些参考而已。

　　环球教育杨亮老师为大家分析原题如下：

　　In recent years, pressure of students in university is increasing and they are pushed to work hard from a young age. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? 20170819

　　题干内容简单易懂，就是大学生的压力与日俱增到底是积极的还是消极的事情。此类问题的提问方式尽管每年出现的频率不高，但是也不算是新奇的一种。此类问题论证逻辑非常直白。

　　Many people especially some students and their parents cannot help themselves complaining that students are suffering from incredible stress in college. In fact, what they ought to know is that stress in ivory towers is fairly necessary for those students to face their future life in our severely competitive society.

　　开头段，点题之后就清晰表述了笔者的立场。大学生承受压力，理所应当。

　　Initially, university students in this day and age are being surrounded by a whole variety of distractions like online games and hit TV dramas. Pressure can greatly help them get rid of the disturbance caused by those distractions since it is always thought to be motivation that can drive students concentrate on their study other than other useless entertaining stuffs. With motivation, those students can grasp more knowledge and be equipped with more employability.

　　主段一的中心论点就是压力使得学生们努力学习，排除一切干扰。这是一个积极的论点的论述。

　　On top of this, students studying under huge pressure can gain skills to cope with stress. Those skills will certainly play irreplaceable and considerable roles in their future life and career. Without any doubt, university graduates to go out into the world will be confronted with far more stress than they used to face in college. There is not enough time for them to get used to it, unless they have already been trained for living with pressure.

　　主段二，是另一个积极的论点的论述。在压力下学习，才能学会如何应对压力。这样才能为以后的工作做准备。

　　Contrarily, excessive pressure will definitely bring those students some possibly adverse influence like insomnia, anxiety and even depression. Notwithstanding, those stumbling blocks are what students have to overcome. In university, with help of teachers and parents, students are more likely to conquer these obstacles to know how to manage stress. Otherwise, after their graduation, they have to face all those barriers on their own, which is of course overwhelmingly difficult for most of them.

　　本段为让步段。首先说明，压力的确可以有很多消极的影响。但是，这些影响在所难免。在大学读书的时候，遇到这些压力还好调整。如果毕业后才遇到这些由于压力带来的负面影响，那么后果不堪设想。

　　In brief, university students will meet pressure in their life sooner or later, so that being plagued by much stress in college seems more rational and positive for students as they can tackle all hardship with useful guidance from teachers and parents. If not, how arduous their future life will be might be out of our imagination.

　　结尾段，较为清晰地重述了笔者的立场。面对压力是早晚的事情，谁也躲不过，谁也逃不了。大学里面的压力对于学生而言还是一个积极的事情。

　　相信本文很多考生的最后结论都是和笔者的结论相悖。这其实并不影响分数。笔者从这个立场出发，只希望能够让各位读者看一些不那么一样的思路，仅此而已。

　　行文仓促，多有不足，期待斧正。
