无论是大多数考生备考雅思的过程中,还是从历年来雅思考试四项的中国考生平均分,都可以反映出中国考生在雅思写作方面的薄弱。因为写作是最能体现个人的语言运用能力和水平的,所以不像其他课程可以通过短期的特训得到很快的提高,而是要求考生花时间对词汇,句型,语法等等内容的整理,记忆,以及运用。
在具体写作的过程中,考生要遇到的第一步事情应该是引言段的写作。俗话说,万事开头难。很多考生不知道如何开头,浪费时间,导致无法在规定时间内完成250个单词的大作文。其实,引言段可先通过对background 的描写来引出话题。
II Background 方法介绍
总结归纳Background的写作,认为应该从内容同句型上同时做到补充。下面先介绍下扩充背景句的方法:
1). 追根溯源法。即从题目给出的话题中找出这个现象产生的原因来扩展背景句。这种方法适合大多数的话题,考生要尽量在考前做练习,这样在考试就可以得心应手了。
请看下面的例子:
There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones? (高分范文P76)
这个题目中给出的话题是mobile phone,所以考生可以从它产生的原因来考虑,就是科技的繁荣,而科技的繁荣,手机的广泛使用是在20世纪末,这样背景句就有内容可写了。当然要通过相应的句型来写了。如
… (time) witnessed …
这个背景句就可以写成: The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, which gave rise to a series of technological innovations, including the mobile phone.
再看一例:
Nowadays, some universities offer students skills that assist them to find employment, but some people believe that the main function of a university should be to provide students with access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?
这题要求大家讨论大学是提供职业技能还是传授知识。那从传统观点来看,大学是传授知识的地方,为什么会提出要传授技能呢,所以这里考生也可以用追根溯源法思考下,大家肯定可以想到是由于找工作已经成为当今教育的目的之一了,所以很多大学就转移到以传授技能为主了。那当然还是要结合句型,这里可以用as 引导的原因状语从句。
参考:As job-hunting has become one of the main purposes of university education, the majority of the universities tend to offer vocational trainings to prepare the students for their future career.
2). 重述法。即对关于这个话题的当前现状的重述。
请看一例:
Nowadays, people are facing more and more work-related stress. State the possible reasons for this phenomenon and make some recommendations about how to combat it。
本题的话题关于压力,那考生可从当前社会现象来考虑这个问题,考生不难想出当下对压力这一现象的情况,即很多人都在承受着或多或少的压力。可用it is generally believed that … 形式主语的句型。
参考: It is generally believed that white-collar as well as blue-collars workers are suffering from psychological and physical stress stemming from
1、释义核心名词
对核心名词进行解释,这种方法既能显的你非常专业,又能突出自己的观点,非常值得一学。
我们以剑8 Test1为大家做例子:
Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
考官范文这么说:
A child?s education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society. Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.
It has always included就是对child?s education的一个最好释义,这种句型和方法可以套用在很多话题中,但需要烤鸭们提前对话题进行一个思考才行。
2、表明立场承上启下
开头部分最重要的一个作用之一就是承上启下,所以最好是能够在第一段就明确表明自己的观点,但是不要一上来就我支持XXX,还是需要由一个类似于讨论句的句子进行总结,然后引出自己的观点。
我们以2015年10月31日的雅思真题来为大家进行一次解释:
题目
Some people think people working in creative arts should be financially supported by government. Others think they should find financial support from other resources. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
这道题说有的人觉得艺术职业应该由国家来拨款,另一部分人说搞艺术应该自己设法获得经济上的支持,并要求你讨论这两种观点。
我们来看范文的开头:
The realization of basic human needs such as enough clothing and food makes it necessary for a more advanced spiritual enjoyment from art. For those who devote themselves to creating aesthetic works and pleasure, I think they should be supported by both government and other resources.
这段开头的最后一个I think直接就引出了作者的观点,而前一句则是铺垫陈述,因为衣食是基本需求,而艺术则让人获得更多的精神愉悦,所以,我认为?这种引出方式会更加自然,烤鸭们不妨学习一下。
另一个版本是:
Visual and auditory arts play a key role in education and entertainment, making these fields integral aspects of our society among all ages. Nevertheless, there is a controversial division about whether these areas ought to receive, or if they are even deserving of, any public funds.
我们看到这个版本,就是针对art这个话题进行了一次讨论。先说了艺术在教育和娱乐领域扮演了非常重要的角色,但是一直以来,艺术是否值得拥有public funds(也就是题目中的should be financially supported by government)还是一个比较有争议的话题。
这一段相较于上一段用词更加复杂,但是我们看见的是通过了对话题的讨论来方便其最后引出自己的观点。因为是否能够拥有public funds是很有争议的,所以在下文中,作者就要来表达自己的观点了,这也是一种十分不错的引出方式
