在雅考虑试中,雅思写作对于不太善于逻辑构造的国内考生来讲是获得高分的一大门槛,与雅考虑试中的其他几项相比较,写作总是是得分最低的一项。到底如何才能写出高分作文,写作要考察大家的能力比较多,这其中包含文章是不是扣题,整体逻辑,词语运用能力与语法准确度等,想要在一个小时内完成两篇优质的文章,获得高分着实不容易。雅考虑官会喜欢哪种开头段?如何才能最迅速有效地提高我们的写作分数呢?
除去多积累好的词语和句型,多看范本这项工作也是必不可少的。写作是输出型考试,输出的文字水平是高是低,与大家平常输入多少好的词、好的句子密切有关。所以在这里也特别提醒大伙,不要一味地埋头苦写,从不看范本,从不背好的句子。一味埋头苦写无异于只不过把自己4分、5分的作文水平练的愈加纯熟,练成了钢琴十级跆拳道黑带而已,必须要多读范本,多背好的句子,如此才能真的提升写作水平。俗话说“熟读唐诗三百首,不会作诗也会吟”,范本的力量,可见一斑。
大家先来看一道机经考试真题:
Some people think that government should establish free libraries in each town.
While others believe that it is a waste of money since people can obtain information from the Internet at home.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
拿到这个题目,不少同学写开头都陷入了一种典型的模板化形式,笔下的开头是如此的:
Nowadays, the human society is progressing rapidly on various fronts. Yet at the same time, whether government should establish free libraries in each town has sparked much debate. Some people think government should establish free libraries in each town, while others believe that it is a waste of money since people can obtain information from the Internet at home. Personally, I am in favor of the former view.
不了解有没同学“躺枪”,写这种开头的同学,分数绝对不可能高于5.5,整个开头几乎可以说是在“自杀”,除去套模板,就是照搬原题,考官拿到这种开头是绝对不会有好印象的。那真的好的开头是什么样子的呢?大家以剑8的TEST1中剑桥考官的给出的范本为例,来看看考官自己爱如何写开头。先来看一下题目:
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.
考官范本的开头是如此的:
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.
从这篇考官范本的开头,大家不难看出,它并没模式化的“社会背景引入-提出正方看法-再提出反方看法-最后陈述自己看法”,而是只做了两件事:
1、给核心名词下概念。
在本文中,即是给child’s education下了个概念,谈了一下在作者看来,child’s education是哪种。
2、表明看法或立场。
在本文中,即说明孩子的教育问题不只只关乎父母。所以,好的开头可以“无模板,但有逻辑。”
翻翻剑桥雅考虑官的范本,大家会发现不少考官在开头段都只干了两件事:下概念+ 表明看法,或者是引出背景+表明看法,还有不少考官范本开头只不过引出背景而已。所以,讲解题目中说到事件的背景才是开头段应该做的,而不是模式化的引出两方看法。
