教雅思寫(xiě)作這么多年,經(jīng)歷了所謂的“模版時(shí)代”再到“擺脫模板時(shí)代”,雅思寫(xiě)作無(wú)論是判分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)還是難度上與過(guò)去相比的確有很大的變化,當(dāng)然最直接的就是“分?jǐn)?shù)是越來(lái)越難拿”。不夸張地講,有相當(dāng)大比例的烤鴨們寫(xiě)作幾次奮力屠鴨還是停止在5.5分。經(jīng)過(guò)對(duì)大量學(xué)員試卷或作業(yè)批改分析,目前還是很多學(xué)員對(duì)所謂“高分模板”有強(qiáng)烈的依賴(lài)感。誠(chéng)然,“高分句型”固然不錯(cuò),但并不是說(shuō)將它們隨意用在邏輯上根本行不通的作文段落中去!除此之外,我還發(fā)現(xiàn)中國(guó)的烤鴨們?cè)谘潘紝?xiě)作時(shí)依然秉承著很多過(guò)去的雅思寫(xiě)作模式,例如:開(kāi)頭段(intro)一般至少寫(xiě)三句話(huà)(背景,轉(zhuǎn)述題目和個(gè)人觀點(diǎn))同時(shí)很多學(xué)生認(rèn)為雅思寫(xiě)作的開(kāi)頭段字?jǐn)?shù)控制在50個(gè)左右,也就是說(shuō)開(kāi)頭段的長(zhǎng)度超過(guò)主體段(main body)。事實(shí)上是這樣嗎,今天喜哥來(lái)給大家說(shuō)說(shuō)7+雅思開(kāi)頭段的那點(diǎn)事兒。
首先,開(kāi)頭段至少寫(xiě)三句話(huà)的這種說(shuō)法本身就是對(duì)學(xué)生灌輸性的錯(cuò)誤。西方國(guó)家的寫(xiě)作對(duì)開(kāi)頭段實(shí)際上沒(méi)有明確的規(guī)定,很多只要你把你的個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)表示清晰即可。
For example:
Some people believe young adults should undertake unpaid work to help people in the community. Do you think it will bring more drawbacks to the community and young adults than benefits?
一看就是典型的“利弊題”,既然是問(wèn)做“unpaid work”的利與弊,為了人生觀和個(gè)人價(jià)值觀,以及弘揚(yáng)“正能量”肯定會(huì)選擇“利大于弊”。那么既然態(tài)度這么鮮明,開(kāi)頭段不如直接了當(dāng)一些,給考官眼前一亮的感覺(jué)。
Intro:
I definitely subscribe to the notion that young people should do voluntary or unpaid work to give a hand to the people in the community, because this practice will bring about twofold bonus.
一句話(huà)表明態(tài)度就好,尤其是definitely一詞表明態(tài)度的堅(jiān)定。
其次,我對(duì)雅思考生常提到的開(kāi)頭段不要多于50個(gè)字或不要超過(guò)主體段的長(zhǎng)度說(shuō)法感到很是驚訝,如果是老師提到的,那么這也太中國(guó)式的本本主義了甚至是誤人子弟。好的雅思作文開(kāi)頭段在西方是沒(méi)有對(duì)長(zhǎng)短或字?jǐn)?shù)要求。再說(shuō)一次,只要把你要說(shuō)的觀點(diǎn)說(shuō)清楚就好了。當(dāng)然不要啰嗦。
For example:
Environmental hazards are often too great for particular countries or individuals to tackle. We have arrived at a point in time where the only way to lessen environmental problems is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
環(huán)保類(lèi)的作文一直是雅思寫(xiě)作中的重頭戲,本篇就是一個(gè)典型雅思辯論類(lèi)。由于題目中出現(xiàn)了絕對(duì)詞“only”,我相信烤鴨們已看出這是一邊倒式文章,OK,那么開(kāi)頭段就一定在“50”字以?xún)?nèi)嗎?
Intro:
Environmental problems have reached such proportions that people feel international organizations must be set up to intervene in world affairs to resolve these problems. Whether this will resolve the problem which is very unlikely as international organizations are just an extension of human behavior. That is, if human conflicts cannot be resolved at home, then they are unlikely to be resolved at the international level. Nevertheless, international organizations do attract attention to the growing problem of pollution and the destruction of the environment. However, although I respect the aims of the international community to resolve the issue of environmental pollution and support their cause, I do not believe it is the best or only way to protect the environment; in fact, it is only a small part of what is needed in a global initiative.
這樣的一個(gè)近135個(gè)字?jǐn)?shù)的開(kāi)頭段,思路清晰,觀點(diǎn)明確整篇下來(lái)照樣可以拿到7.5分以上。
