PTE写作SWT题有哪些解题技巧

各位正在备考PTE考试的同学们，今天羊驼给大家带来的是老师讲解的PTE写作SWT题型的例题：Needs and population，这篇SWT，主要在说澳大利亚的人口问题。我们先找出文章每一段的重要的主旨句子，然后用简单的连接词，把我们找出来的句子连接起来，那么这一篇SWT就解决了。

一、PTE写作SWT例题的原文：

In 2005, Japan had the highest median age of all countries in the world, while Australia's population was only moderately aged. Some 50 years ago the demographic situation was quite different, with the median age of Australia's population being seven years older than Japan's.

The aging of the population is a major issue for Australian policymakers, particularly in regard to the long-term implications for reduced economic growth and the increasing demand for Age Pensions, and health and aged care services. As the population ages, growth in the number of people of working age will slow, while the proportion of people of retirement age will increase.

Sustained population aging also leads to slowing or negative population growth. While declining population growth in developed countries is welcomed by some environmentalist and social scientists, economists tend to agree that population decline brings gloomy economic prospects. In addition to the decrease in the labor supply, the demand side of the economy may be affected by shrinking markets for goods and services.

How quickly this occurs depends on the dynamics of fertility, mortality and overseas migration. While a moderate pace of demographic change allows for gradual adjustment of the economy and policies to the changing population demographics, rapid changes are more difficult to manage. As a result, governments and society as a whole may need to take actions to address these issues. But how severe is the aging of Australia's population, relative to other countries?

二、PTE写作SWT例题的答案：

In 2005 Australia’s population was only moderately aged, but the demographic situation was quite different, and the aging of the population is a major issue for Australian policy makers in regard to economic and health services, and sustained population aging leads to slowing or negative population growth that can bring gloomy economic prospects, so governments and society need to take actions to address these issues.

三、PTE写作SWT例题的翻译：

2005年，日本是世界上人口年龄中位数最高的国家，而澳大利亚的人口只是中等老龄化。

In 2005, Japan had the highest median age of all countries in the world, while Australia's population was only moderately aged. 

大约50年前，人口情况大不相同，澳大利亚人口的年龄中位数比日本大7岁。

 Some 50 years ago the demographic situation was quite different, with the median age of Australia's population being seven years older than Japan's.

人口老龄化是澳大利亚政策制定者面临的一个主要问题，特别是考虑到经济增长放缓的长期影响以及对老年养恤金、保健和老年护理服务需求的增加。

The aging of the population is a major issue for Australian policymakers, particularly in regard to the long-term implications for reduced economic growth and the increasing demand for Age Pensions, and health and aged care services. 

随着人口老龄化，工作年龄人口的增长将放缓，而退休年龄人口的比例将增加。

 As the population ages, growth in the number of people of working age will slow, while the proportion of people of retirement age will increase.

持续的人口老龄化也会导致人口增长放缓或负增长。

Sustained population aging also leads to slowing or negative population growth. 

发达国家人口增长的下降受到一些环保主义者和社会科学家的欢迎，而经济学家则倾向于认为人口下降会带来黯淡的经济前景。 

While declining population growth in developed countries is welcomed by some environmentalist and social scientists, economists tend to agree that population decline brings gloomy economic prospects. 

除了劳动力供给的减少，经济的需求方面也可能受到商品和服务市场萎缩的影响。

 In addition to the decrease in the labor supply, the demand side of the economy may be affected by shrinking markets for goods and services.

这种情况发生的速度取决于生育率、死亡率和海外移民的动态。

How quickly this occurs depends on the dynamics of fertility, mortality and overseas migration. 

虽然适度的人口变化速度可以使经济和政策逐渐适应不断变化的人口结构，但迅速的变化更难以管理。 

While a moderate pace of demographic change allows for gradual adjustment of the economy and policies to the changing population demographics, rapid changes are more difficult to manage. 

因此，政府和整个社会可能需要采取行动来解决这些问题。 

As a result, governments and society as a whole may need to take actions to address these issues. 

但相对于其他国家，澳大利亚人口老龄化的严重程度有多严重? 

But how severe is the aging of Australia's population, relative to other countries?

四、PTE写作SWT例题的解析：

1、最开始，虽然提到了Japan日本，但是并不是想要强调日本，是说当时日本是这个世界上年龄中位数最高的国家，然而澳大利亚的人口只是一个比较中等的水平，后面强调是澳大利亚的人口，那么我们要画的话呢，也是画澳大利亚这一句。然后接着说，大约50年前的时候，人口状况就大不同了，进行一个转折。

2、以前澳大利亚可是only moderatelyged, 现在是quite different, 就是说澳大利亚的人口中位数比日本还要大7岁。接着就引出来一个话题，人口老龄化是澳大利亚政策制定者面临的一个重大问题，特别是对经济增长放缓等方面有一个长期的影响。而且随着人口老龄化，人口增长将会放缓，而退休的比例就会增加。所以这一句话，或者后面这一大段就是强调人口老龄化是澳大利亚政策制定者面临的一个重大问题。

3、所以这个major issue以及Australian policymakers, 我们是一定要抄下来的。往后看，接着又说一些其他的影响，比如持续老龄化的人口也会导致人口增长放缓，或者说一个负增长的状态，但经济学家倾向于认为人口下降带来了暗淡的经济前景，这个但是，我们就要把它抄下来。也就是说这里我们抄一下这个老龄化导致的放缓啊，或者负增长的人口，再抄一下它所要强调的但是后面的内容。

4、这个情况发生取决于生育率、死亡率，还有海外移民。然后说一下这种人口变化会带来什么样的影响，最终他说，因此我们政府和整个社会，需要采取行动来解决这个问题。这句话我们把它给抄下来，那么基本上到这我们的字数就差不多了。
