小新老师,我是你暑期南汇班上唯一一名移民类考生,9月22号考试,请指点一下移民类的大作文方向,是和学术类的TOPIC一致吗?移民类的小作文总是信件吗?

下面是我近期写的一篇大作文,改过几次,仍不尽满意,请小新老师指点。

题目:Nowadays,skills such as making your own clothes and doing repairs to things in the house are disappearing.Why do you think this change is happening?How far is this situation true in your country?

作文:

When I was a teenager, my mother made almost every cloth for me and my brother, including the underwears,shirts,frocks and so on.If something went wrong in our family, my father repaired it by himself. Whereas now,I always buy clothes for my daughter, and have them repaired by tailors. I wouldn't spent time on them because I think it is unworthy. Why have these changes been happening? I will give some striking reasons afterwards.

What is of top priority is that our living standard has been improved a lot and our lifestyle has changed. In the past,most of the family income was focused on food. It was uneasy for a family to guarantee that every member of it didn't suffer from hunger and cold.In my family, my parents always bought some cloth to home and had it done by my mother, not considering the style and fashion. However, now I have enough income with my husband and food only accounts for a minor portion of our expenditure. Although house and education occupy a majority of our income, we have enough money on clothes. In fact, everyone of us has plenty of clothes, including different stylish and fashionable ones. So in my opinion economic development is the most significant reason for disappearance of some artificial skills.

On the other thoughts, we have so much activities on our work that time is always limited for us. When we get home after work, we usually feel exhausted. But this doesn't stop. We have to fill-up and cover-up oufselves, otherwise we would be deprived of our core competence and our cake would be moved easily, thus we would be eliminated by the sociey.So we hardly have time or energy on such things as clothes making or repairing in house.

Saving last for best, what's neglected but worthy of being mentioned is that, our children, who have spent most of their time on school curriculum and homework from their teachers, has no time to learn these traditional skills.

In most cities of China, this phenominon is popular. I have done four jobs in different companies. Almost everyone of my colleagues do not make clothes for them or their children and they all ask specialized workers to fix their electronical appliance when they are out of order.

From the above perspective, I strongly believed that it's unavoidable and irreversible that some traditional skills will be dying out gradually among most unspecialized people.

说明:这篇文章虽修改多次,但还是感觉太冗长,尤其开头段太长,不知是不是有这个问题。有些词想改得档次高一点但又感觉太刻意不自然,好像垃圾词汇是不是多了点?请指教。
