现代人对工作的执着追求固然很好，但越来越多的人因为工作的繁重和压力忽视了生活中需要的平衡，过度消费了自己的健康等。各种各样的原因使得工作时刻充斥着我们中间。这篇雅思作文题目就是对比现在和过去的工作情况。
Modern people nowadays have become busier than they used to be, discuss the reasons?
讨论当代人和过去相比变成工作狂的原因，首段的三段式写法简洁明了，这里要提一下首段“zero”错误率是关键。
Recent decades have witnessed a trend in which people have become more workaholic today than they were before. Many modern people argue that they tend to have fewer leisure opportunities due to their busier work schedule than those in the past. I personally agree with this point of view for the following reasons.
主体段一，competition是明显的理由，但需要注意topic sentence一定要点题，和过去相比较的说法要与题目不同。
There is obviously more competition today than in the past that contributes to the concerning work-life imbalance in society, nowadays. Social competition is becoming increasingly fierce and it urges people to concentrate their efforts on work. As a result of being afraid of losing promotion chances, or even being “laid off”, there has been a growth in the number of workers who choose to stay working and not taking any break throughout the whole year.
主体段二，仍然保持句型的多样化是语法加分的地方。这段结构的流畅是值得学习的。
Moreover, modern technology makes it almost impossible to escape the office, today. With the rapid and wide application of modern technologies, people are able to work whenever and wherever. It is no wonder that many holiday resorts see large number of people keeping an eye on their phones, Ipads and computers to do their office work remotely while on a break. However, there were no such channels available to support people telecommuting away from the traditional offices decades ago, and it was a time when people were unable to contact the office. This made it more likely for people to unwind completely.
尾端，一句话总结为什么人们现在相比过去工作时间更长，付出的劳动越多的理由。
In conclusion, I contend that the pressing competition work environment and the rapid pace of technological advances today leave people with no alternatives other than to work far harder than their equivalents did in the past.
