雅思寫作如何論證

  在雅思寫作考試中,大作文考的是議論文,就是考察考生是否能夠在相對較短的時間內蒐集論據,具體地論證自己的觀點。另外,雅思寫作大作文的話題範圍非常廣泛,大到政府社會、經濟、科技,小到工作、教育等話題都會考到。這對於長期只接受國內應試教育的考生來說,是有一定的困難,很多時候只看個題目都會覺得無從下筆,因而很多中國考生的論文空洞,缺乏說服力,那麼雅思寫作應該如何論證呢?

  ?大作文不是講道理

  很多中國考生在應對雅思作文時喜歡通過講道理來說明問題,但話題中並不是所有題目和內容都可以通過道理來說服他人的,比如關於“anti-social behavior”, 屬於道德範疇的話題,是很難用道理來講清楚的。所以,建議考生在備考時需要加強論據論證的能力,使其能夠很好地支援自己的觀點。

  先來看下小編的一篇關於“anti-social behavior"的範文,大家可以借鑑下他的觀點提出和地道的表達

  Task 2 題目:Today there is a great increase in anti-social behaviors and lack of respect to others. What are the causes of this? Who should take responsibility for dealing with it? ***選自 2011 年 01 月 22 日雅思寫作機經***

  Write at least 250 words

  範文:

  With the development of modern society, there seems to be an irresistible uprising momentum of anti-social behaviors and lacking in respect between people. Various causes may lead to this increasingly prevailing phenomenon. From my personal perspectives, I tend to attribute this tendency to the morbid social conduct, the gap between the rich and the poor and the fiasco of school education.

  開頭叄排比提出自己的觀點:病態的社會風氣、貧富差距、學校教育的失敗是原因,定義為五段論的基調,堅持五段論是高分作文最起碼的結構!!!

  The surroundings somewhat influence the behaviors of people due to the conformity mentality among us. A healthy social conduct will guide people, on the contrary, an unhealthy society can destroy the very good nature of people. Take an example of the terrorist attack in Norway 2011, which caused 77 innocent civilians’ lives. If there were a more harmonious social conduct to give more sense of belonging to that pervert killer, the tragedy could be prevented.

  無比貼切的例子的使用,挪威變態殺手的***,完全西方化的思維。

  The widening gap between the wealthy and the poor also triggered the psychology of hatred of those so-called “borderline men”. The enlarging social stratification and the growing income gap between the white-collars and manual workers stir the mental imbalance as well as the call on unfairness among the people with humble birth. Spontaneously, the rich became more and more disrespectful to the poor which eventually awakened the wrath of them.

  關鍵詞乃“社會邊緣人”,圍繞這個中心詞展開,究其塬因乃貧富差距之大之可憎!!!

  The school education is the last to be condemned. Were there more skillful and patient guidance of how to cultivate a complete and sound personality, to some extent, there won’t be that many extremists and borderline people .The formation of individual’s property and character molded during juvenile years, especially, adolescence, which, if slightly twisted, could affect a person’s later on life pattern and personality. That’s where a good or bad education makes difference.

  譴責學習教育,沒有注重培養學生健全人格!!

  In summary, if only we could generate a healthier social conduct, if only the gap between the rich and the poor could be narrowed, if only the quality of school education could be bettered, the anti-social behaviors will be eliminated greatly and the society of mutual-respect will rise up again.

  雅思寫作評分潛規則--詞彙和語法

  很多考生總會這樣形容自己“我詞彙量低”,“我很多時候想好了中文卻寫不出英文單詞”等,從中可以看出,詞彙量對考生來說,總是一道難於逾越的坎。而更麻煩的是,詞彙量是需要經年累月的積累,非短時間內可以達成。

  然而,除詞彙量不足之外,很多考生對於雅思詞彙的具體要求並沒有足夠的瞭解;若想要在詞彙方面得到7分及以上,考官的要求是use a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision; use less common lexical items with some awareness of style and collocation; may produce occasional errors in word choice, spelling and/or word formation, 可以看出除了詞彙量的要求之外,考生還需要儘可能多使用less common lexical items;要注意style和collocation的運用等。

  一般說來,對於collocation來說比較常見的是nouns and verbs ***make an assumption***, adjectives and nouns ***a key concept***, or verbs and adverbs ***fiercely independent***,那麼考生在選擇使用時可以根據實際情況,適當加入類似的搭配從而增加詞彙的靈活性。當然要想提高這方面的詞彙能力,考生可以選擇多看範文的詞彙選擇,並且養成習慣勤加整理,畢竟詞彙的突破離不開日常的積累。而對於less common的要求,考生一方面需要積累同義替換詞,並且時刻記得避免重複單調的表達同時避免使用常用詞彙來防止common,比如more and more最好使用an increasing number of;solve則可以使用address或是overcome來代替;choice應該換成alternative;important可以替換為crucial之類的。

  除詞彙要求外,雅思考官對於語言也有一定的要求。對於雅思寫作7分的語法要求是:use a variety of complex structures, produce frequent error-free sentences and have good control of grammar and punctuation but may make a few errors.

  雅思寫作6分的語法要求是:use a mix of simple and complex sentences.

  從要求中我們不難看出,多樣的句式以及複雜句是獲得雅思寫作高分的基本要求。相比詞彙,對於句子的準備反而可以說是比較容易一些。因為不管考題是如何,相對來說,能用的句式還是固定的。

  如開頭段落可以嘗試那些較好套用的句式,類似:

  1*** The issue of whether… has been widely debated in the world.

  2*** One of the perpetual problems in our modern society is that + 具體的社會問題 + and the question of + 由問題引起的後果或爭論 + arises. ***適用開頭段第一句話;套用在:表達某種社會問題以及由此引發爭論***例句:One of the perpetual problems in our modern society is that senior citizens account for an increasingly larger proportion of the whole population and the question of who should be legally responsible for taking care of them arises.

  3*** In an attempt to solve the problem of …, some people assert that…等。4*** Personally, I agree to the latter opinion, which is based on the following three reasons. 適用於開頭段亮出自己觀點時候使用。當考題提問為優缺點時候時,可使用於開頭段最後一句:However, modern technologies have also exerted some negative impacts on our society and environment, which can be demonstrated in the following aspects.

  總而言之,不管是哪種評分要求,考生都應該熟悉不同分數檔的評分要求,在備考雅思寫作時要有針對性。
