雅思写作如何拿高分

想要获得雅思写作高分,那么从词汇、句型到文章结构都必须写得很好。那么雅思写作如何拿高分呢?

1、摆事实

也就是通过对题目主题的理解,写一句对事实的描述,从而引出题目的话题或是问题。

例:1. Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and weakness. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender?【Collins Unit1】

There have always been differences in the types of work men and women have done...

2. Convenience foods will become increasingly prevalent and eventually replace traditional foods and traditional methods of food preparation. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?【Collins Unit2】

The increasing availability of convenience foods has been a significant feature of modern life in many developed countries...

3. In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest? 【C4T4】

Poor student behaviour seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.

4. In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. 【C5T2】

It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school.

2、给原因

也就是根据题目中的观点或是题目中的事实去向前推出一层原因,从而让开头更有逻辑。

例:1. As language such as English, Spanish and mandarin become more widely spoken, there is a fear that many minority languages may die out. Some countries have taken steps to protect minority languages. What is your view of this practice? 【Collins Unit5】

As the world becomes more integrated, the need for common means of communication is becoming more pressing.

2. Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 【C6T2】

As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries.

3、给结果

通过对于结果的描述,向上推出题目论证的内容。这个方法思路较绕,但是用恰当也算是另辟蹊径。

例:1. In the past, people spent their entire lives doing one job. But nowadays they change their job frequently. Please give your reasons and suggestions.

Though the experience of moving from one job to another can sometimes be distressing or even traumatic, thousands of employees move from one job to another in rapid succession every year.

2. Some people think that machine translation is highly developed in today`s society. Therefore it is not necessary for children to learn a foreign language. What`s your opinion.

It will be good news for school children when they are told that foreign language is no longer a required subject because translation can all be down by machines. ……

4、时间对比

这样的开头做法通常是将古今进行对比,从而引出题目的争论,或是主题。

例:1. Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that people over the age of sixty-five can continue to live full and active lives. In what ways can social benefit from the contribution that older people can make?【Collins Unit9】

People today can expect to live a longer and healthier life than people in the past. …….

2. Many people believe that media coverage of celebrities is having a negative effect on children. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?【Collins Unit10】

In the past, news about famous people may have been confined to gossip columns in newspapers; these days it is not uncommon for celebrities to feature as front page news.

3. Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? 【C9T1】

Traditionally, children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school, but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists.

5、地点对比

例:Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. 【C8GB】

Some countries have single-sex education models, while in others both single sex and mixed schools co-exist and it is up to the parents or the children to decide which model is preferable.

开头段的背景写作方式其实有很多很多种,只要是语言严谨准确,并且思路符合逻辑,都可以说是精品,就算是不写,只要是主体段精彩也没有任何问题。但是,这种背景的写作本身就是供考生展示自我英语水平的一个很好的平台。

如何提高雅思的写作能力

第一,语法很重要。

无论是TASK1还是TASK2部分,均需要考生们能够做到grammar range and accuracy,也就是说在追求多样性的同时要注意语法的准确性。很多学生穷尽毕生绝技去写他们自己认为的高大上句型,却忽略了因为本身语法基础薄弱,而导致语法准确度大大降低,而所谓的高大上的句子也变成了费解的废话连篇。所以,在高级阶段的教学中,笔者经常告诉很多学生,倘若从第一句到最后一句都基本大大小小都存在语法错误,不管你们怎么写,写什么样的话题都不会超过6分。因此在写作的初期准备中,语法是重点。不要相信一些所谓的抛开语法就可以学好作文的观点,因为我们的环境不具备语言习得的条件。语法是语言的一般规律,是掌握语言的捷径,而不是包袱。在语法学习中应该抓住要问题,比如名词主要是数和格的问题,动词主要是动词词性变化问题,因为它涉及到时态,语态,虚拟语气等的使用。很多学生在小作文中都会写出rised这样的变形来,让人哭笑不得。在选择语法教材的时候必须把握住简明实用的原则。复杂的语法书不适用于我们短期内掌握语法并将其应用于写作中,所以不建议同学看薄冰,张道真等语法专家编著的大部头著作,这些大家的著作更适合英语语言专业学生长期累月的学习,笔者建议可以入手一本袁晓宁老师出的《大学英语语法与词汇》,简明扼要,还附有习题可供练习。

第二,精读是提高写作能力的垫脚石。

那很多烤鸭就会有这样的问题,不是写东西么?为什么要精读?如果精读的话,可以读的话题又是什么?第一,读与写紧密相连,能写出多少东西决定于你读过多少东西,这同我们汉语写作是一样的。至于精读的写作内容,可以选择剑桥系列后面附赠的考官范文,也可以选择剑桥系列中的阅读部分。大多数烤鸭在做雅思阅读时只侧重于技巧解答,缺忘记了这些文章的精华部分。所以建议备考时间较多的同学每天坚持精读,多查字典而非电子词典,多研究词的词性和适合的语境,而不是像很多学生随便查到一个词就直接抄进来,不管他的词性或者语境。例如,大作文开头好多人喜欢用nowadays, recently, in recent years, these years来表示事情发生在当下,而返回到雅思阅读当中,英语语言国家的人写的时间则是since the early years of the twentieth century【《橙色火车头》96页开头部分】,或者at least5,000 years ago, and long before the advent of Roman Empire【《橙色火车头》260页开头部分】。和他们比起来,我们用的时间表达过于假大空,他们用的时间却是非常具体鲜明的。因而在写作中我们在描述时间时,要注意将时间表达的更具体。例如,写到环境问题变得严重的时间点可以写since the late years of last century也可以用参照时间since the industrial revolution等。所以在读到好文章的时候,要多多思考作者的写作思路,以后必定可以用在写作中,而且表达会更自然更地道。

第三,积累话题相关词汇与表达。

雅思写作TASK1主要涉及图表描述语言,因此相关的词语【例如数据的描述方式,流程图地图常用表达】必须熟记。而且表达同一概念的时候应该有多种方式,烤鸭们可以尝试着换词,换词性。TASK2涉及到的一些热门话题诸如教育,环境,政府类等词语和表达必须知道。比如关于环境方面的,全球气候变暖怎么说,温室气体怎么说,海平面上升怎么说。因为这些都是你在表达观点进行陈述时会用到的词语,因此烤鸭们在准备初期进行分类记忆,对于后期写作大有帮助。

第四,在写作中不要一味追求模板范文。

每次改作文,十个学生有九个一开头都是“With the development of”。模板不是不可以用,如果实在是没有话讲,想要套用,起码用的零活些,可以进行一些替换,如with the acceleration of..。要知道这些模板不是外国人给我们的,很多是我们中国人自己发明的,语言是否地道,考官是否能够理解你想表达的含义。而反观考官范文,文章如行云流水,没有所谓的套句,也没有疯狂追寻大词难词。所以烤鸭们,还是用自己的话去表达自己的想法,适当进行同意替换即可。

第五,不要刻意追求大词长句。

有的同学背了一些大词,有的同学从电子词典上现抠了一些大词,不管对它的语境使用是否清楚,直接套用进作文当中。曾经有个学生交了一篇作文给我,10个词左右的句子至少有7个难词,与此同时,也出现了4个谓语动词。这些都是误区,因为乱用难词忽视词性乃至句子结构组成所导致的语法错误。国外这些年都在流行plain English,所以考官们更希望看到大家可以准确简明流畅的写出“正常”的句子,词汇只要做到range即可,不需要一味地使用长度较长的单词。而且,6分评分标准中提到attempt to use less common words中提到的less common words也并不定意味着就是难词。比如说,很多人在写一篇老人年纪大了应该住在caring house还是live with next generation的时候,会讲到一个分论点说住在caring house会有专业的服务人员,然后写出professional servants,而实际上去查professional叫做专业的,职业的,而大部分敬老院的护工是voluntary而非以护工为职业,这里用trained虽然从长度上来看不如professional,但在这里会更加准确,也可以理解成我们的less common words。

雅思写作高分建议

雅思写作高分建议一:避免空洞的单词和词组

1.一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉。

比如:When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion。

这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为:

Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents。

2.有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换

例如:Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time。

“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:

Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now。

雅思写作高分建议二:避免重复

1.尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作

例如下面这个例子:The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size。

large对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:

The farm my grandfather grew up on was large。

更简洁的表达方式为:

My grandfather grew up on a large farm。

2.有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换

例如:My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm。

这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly,显得更为简洁:

My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm。

雅思写作高分建议三:选择最恰当的语法结构

选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要,但选择最恰当的语法结构仍然是更为重要的考虑因素。以下原则是在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则:

1.一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思

例如:The situation that resulted in my grandfather's not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm。

从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather's not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:

My grandfather couldn't study engineering because his father needed help on the farm。

2.避免频繁使用“there be”结构

例如下面的句子:There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather。

可以改为:

My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day。

更简洁的句式为:

My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily。

3.把从句改为短语或单词

例如:Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote。

简介的表达方式为:

The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest university。

4.仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候,才使用被动语态

例如:In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather's family。

本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather's family”,而使用了被动语态後,彷佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:

In the fall, my grandfather's family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay。

5.用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语

例如:My grandfather didn't have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends。

Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter:

My grandfather didn't have time to loiter with his school friends。

6.有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达

例如:Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree。

两句话的信息可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子:

Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university degree。

怎么提高雅思写作分数

提高雅思写作分数注意事项一:拓宽思路

许多考生很少关注社会热点,平时很少思考,一直缺乏丰富的内容去丰满思路,甚至不知道从何思考,言之无物。

另外,中式思维,缺乏谋篇布局能力。不少考生的中文写作能力就不太好,思维混乱,逻辑不清,英语写作处处表现出了中式思维的“负迁移”。

在40分钟以内用非母语表达与众不同的思想是有难度的,但雅思作文主要是对考生的语言能力测试,可以依靠漂亮的句式和流畅和无误的词语来吸引考官。词汇量大,作文写起来就比较简单,同一个中文意思,可以用不重复的英文来表达;多用短语,巧妙的句子结构,会为文章增色不少。

提高雅思写作分数注意事项二:多多积累词汇量

“如果用中文来写,我可以文思泉涌,思路开阔,素材丰富,可是很多内容我不知道怎么用英文说,也不知道句子结构要怎么构造。”有学生抱怨,因为词汇量小,肚子里有货也倒不出来。背单词采用联想记忆法是最好的,如果能找个Partner,配对进行,相互监督和促进更好。

“比如‘虎父无犬子’,每个字分开来也许大家都知道怎么说,可是怎么用英文表达出来呢?有中文系的学生直接就是tiger’s father will never have a dog son,当然闹笑话了。”

没有相关的词汇积累,要谈写作实属空中楼阁,要求学生用简单的英语解释难词,其实也是高估了学生的能力。由于雅思考试没有官方词汇表,不少考生认为没有必要去背单词,对于难词,用迂回的方式表达,比如“狂犬病———a kind of disease which is caused by a dog bite or a human bite”。这些逃避的方式都会造成作文低分。

提高雅思写作分数注意事项三:句式多变锦上添花

很多同学在准备雅思作文时,只是注重理清写作的思路,而没有给语法以足够的重视。事实上如果没有足够的语法知识,是不能写出一篇优秀的作文。考生应梳理英语语法知识,重点复习与写作密切相关的语法现象,比如,简单句,并列句,复合句和并列复合句等。同时着重复习非谓语动词的语法,解决写作中常犯的错误。

考生写出的句子应该符合英语语法。从大量学生作文看,要做到这一点并不容易。完成雅思作文时应尽量使用一些复杂的句子结构。在雅思作文的评分标准中,非谓语动词【过去分词、现在分词以及动词不定式】作状语、独立主格结构、主从复合句以及并列句都被认为是复杂的句子结构。

有句话说,简单就是美。在掌握了大量词汇与语法的前提下,就应让句子以很简单易懂的方式表达出来,不能因为追求句子结构复杂而牺牲句子的正确性。
