2013年8月24日雅思task2写作真题： Some people think that in this modern world people are getting dependent of each other. Others think the modern world gets people more independent of each other. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

点评：此题目关键词为一对反义词即dependent/independent，很多童鞋觉得说起来比较抽象。从今年历次考试来看，要说考抽象类话题这算是第一次。相对于之前屡考的教育类话题，烤鸭们可能会觉得此次话题稍有爆冷。

首先我们一起理解下所谓的“独立”，一般无非就是经济物质上独立、思想精神上独立、心理情感上的独立等。那么现代人的生活究竟是神马样子滴？毫无疑问，个人觉得人们在经济独立方面是比以往进步多了，尤其是女性在职场上的角色和成功让她们肯定比起过去要独立。另外，现代年轻人也在生活方式上更注重个人空间和隐私，他们倾向于在大都市为自己的未来打拼，不再依靠父母和父母同吃同住（之前考查现代人倾向于小户型而四代同堂局面不再的原因，也可以从这点来找到理由）精神和思想上也非常独立。

但另一方面，人们在情感和心理方面的相互依赖却依然存在，大家可以看到诸多相亲栏目走红大江南北、各类社交网站在年轻人中间倍受青睐，这些都足以说明即便网络如此发达的今天，人们还是很希望多结识朋友、知己以及加入有共同兴趣的组织和群体，人们对这种情感的依赖需求在快速发展的现代社会并没有减少。另外，现代工作分工细化，很多项目和工程往往需要多人合作才能完成，顺利地共同完成一项任务让人们之间有了更多的相互需求。而在当下社会，拥有广泛良好的的人脉资源更是人们事业成功的重要因素。

依个人之见，现代人们一方面在经济和思想上更加独立，但同时社会分工和生活方式又让他们总是通过各种方式保持彼此联系。因此，可以说现代人是变得interdependent.

以上是Amy能想到的中文思路，童鞋你怎么看呢？欢迎你们提供更好更新的想法哦！

下面是Amy第一时间为烤鸭们提供的原创范文，有兴趣的童鞋不妨参考。呵呵，偶算不算是很勤劳滴呀，自我鼓励一下哈！

People's opinions on whether individuals in the modern world get more independent or become increasingly reliant on each other differ sharply. Personally i find both views have good grounds and this essay is going to discuss both of them in detail.

Those who believe in today's society people gain more independence than ever claim that modern lifestyle should be responsible for this. First, modern people, particularly, those working women turn economically independent by actively playing significant roles in all walks of life. Their successful career life offers them more independence in terms of both finance and mind, compared with the old generation like their mothers and grandmothers who are often confined to housework and child raising.Besides, young people, who have gained sufficient skills on independent living and thinking before they graduate, choose to stay alone rather than live with their parents. By working hard and planning properly, they can easily build a family in metropolitan areas where privacy and liberty are greatly valued.

On the other hand, opponents argue that individuals are obliged to become more reliant on each other in terms of psychological and emotional needs. One typical example is that some dating programs have gained tremendous popularity in recent years among people of different ages, which demonstrates how eager people are to look for a sincere life partner or a genuine relationship these days. The surging number of users of social networking sites like Facebook, twitter also reflects that people like to be connected with those who have something in common. Moreover, nowadays the work in companies, particularly some large projects often require teamwork and cooperation of each member.Therefore, those who work together to get a task accomplished often find themselves closely linked with others. There is no denying that the more you are positively connected with your friends, colleagues and  superiors, the higher possibility of your success in your career life will be.

In conclusion,  i accept that to some extent people become more independent of each other in terms of economy and thinking, but i also have no doubt that as a member of a society, individuals are getting increasingly interdependent and this can often bring more efficiency and harmony, which is definitely a positive trend in the future.
