雅思寫作這樣開頭,穩(wěn)拿高分

經(jīng)常會接觸到一些學(xué)生,他們語言功底不錯,詞匯量不低,語法可以在不出錯的基礎(chǔ)上靈活運用少許高分句型。但尷尬的是,他們的寫作總是徘徊在6.0和6.5之間,很難得到7分的垂青。究其原因,是論證的質(zhì)量和邏輯沒有達到要求。這一類學(xué)生,6.5分證明了他們不錯的語言實力;但跨過6.5分的坎兒則要求的是邏輯推理和論證能力。
今天就來給大家介紹一種另類的提分技巧,那就是寫好寫作的開頭段,很多學(xué)生往往很容易忽視寫作的開頭段,你不妨試試下面幾種方法,看對提分有沒有幫助。
其實我們可以把雅思寫作題目中的提問方式分成四個大類:觀點類(opinion essay)、討論類(discussion essay)、優(yōu)劣勢類(advantage and disadvantage essay)和報告類(report)。每一種提問方式的題目都有自己不同的開頭段寫作方法。
觀察觀點類題目的特征,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),此類題型的特征是題目有且只有一個觀點。而題目要求我們回答的是“同意”或“不同意”的觀點。所以只要確定好自己的觀點,開頭段就可以寫出來。 例如:
Some people believe that living in big cities is bad for health.
Do you agree or disagree?
如果,我們選擇同意此觀點,可以根據(jù)“背景句+直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目+個人觀點”的公式。
These days, it is quite common to see that a growing number of people choose to settle down in large cities. (背景句) But some people argue that leading an urban life would produce negative influences on people’s health. (直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目) Personally, I agree with this idea. (個人觀點)
如果選擇不同意題目觀點,則可以用“although”的讓步狀語從句進行改寫,得到:
These days, it is quite common to see that a growing number of people choose to settle down in large cities. (背景句) Although some people argue that leading an urban life would produce negative influences on people’s health, (although +直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目) personally, I do not agree with this idea. (個人觀點)
觀察討論類的題目,可以發(fā)現(xiàn),這樣的題目會有兩個觀點,并且題目要求“討論雙方觀點”和“給出自己的觀點”。這樣的題目中,其實只用在開頭段中寫出背景句和轉(zhuǎn)述雙方觀點就好了,至于個人的觀點,可以放到personal idea的段落中。如:
Some people think citizens should be responsible for their own health costs. Others think it is better to have a health care system which provides free health services.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
這個題目的開頭段就可以寫為:
People in some countries are paying an increasing amount of money for seeing a doctor, even for a minor illness. (背景句) But, still, some people assert that individuals themselves are supposed to pay for such fees. (一方觀點) However, other people disagree and suggest that it is the government’s responsibility to undertake the health costs for its citizens. (另一方觀點)
優(yōu)劣勢的題目,一般而言都會給出一個現(xiàn)象或者是趨勢,這又剛好和我們開頭段中的“背景句”吻合了,所以在優(yōu)劣勢文章的開頭段的時候就沒有必要再寫背景句了,直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目就可以了。但是要表達出自己的“優(yōu)大于劣”或者“劣大于優(yōu)”的觀點,只需要用一句話就搞定了。如:
Shopping online is replacing shopping in stores.
Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
開頭段可以寫為:
These days, it is common to see that people prefer choosing online shopping to shopping in physical stores. Although some problems would occur as this trend continues, I believe such development brings more benefits.
其實report最簡單,因為通常題目和優(yōu)劣勢文章一樣,會給出一個現(xiàn)象或趨勢,所以開頭段的組成部分就只有改寫題目。如:
In many parts of the world, children and teenagers are committing more crimes.
Why is this happening?
What are the possible solutions to solve this problem?
開頭段可以寫為:
These days, it is common to see that the rate of youth crime has been increasing dramatically all over the globe and it is a most worrying issue of modern society.
通過上述的內(nèi)容,相信大家對于寫作的開頭段稍微有些了解了。在備考階段對于每一個話題進行background research準備大量論據(jù)之后,是時候去思考如何將自己的正文片段寫得具體充分而避免泛泛而談,而這也是跨過6.5邁向7分的重要途徑。
