扒一扒雅思考試備考的那些誤區(qū)
雅思考試備考,很多人會(huì)給你一些建議。今天小編給大家?guī)?lái)了雅思考試備考的那些誤區(qū),希望能夠幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
扒一扒 雅思考試備考的那些誤區(qū)
雅思考試誤區(qū)1:閱讀里遇到的生詞,都要記下來(lái),用到寫作、口語(yǔ)中!
這種做法乍看之下是好好學(xué)習(xí)天天向上的“學(xué)霸范本”,然而卻存在著很大風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。雅思是以應(yīng)用和溝通為本的考試,由于不同難度的單詞適合應(yīng)用在不同的場(chǎng)景下,雅思對(duì)這些單詞要求的掌握程度也不同。
烤鴨們?cè)陂喿x中遇到的許多生詞,都是學(xué)術(shù)文章中的長(zhǎng)難詞,這些詞并不適合用在日??谡Z(yǔ)的情境下,如果硬要使用,效果就會(huì)像你用古文和小伙伴對(duì)話一樣不自然。而在寫作中,烤鴨們的確需要照顧到詞匯的多樣性,但同樣應(yīng)該以表意清晰為主要目的,很多同學(xué)為了使用長(zhǎng)難單詞而去拼湊語(yǔ)句,反而影響了文章的邏輯,得不償失。
那單詞應(yīng)該怎么背呢?
閱讀和聽(tīng)力中出現(xiàn)的長(zhǎng)難詞匯,大家需要能夠“聽(tīng)懂”、“看懂”。
聽(tīng)力中較難專業(yè)類詞匯,能在音頻播放一次的情況下及時(shí)做出反應(yīng)即可。閱讀中比較難的詞匯我們要盡量對(duì)閱讀詞匯做到“會(huì)認(rèn)”,即能在3-5秒鐘之內(nèi)反應(yīng)出這個(gè)詞匯的中文。而這種長(zhǎng)難詞通常有相同的詞根,因此建議大家進(jìn)行分類和關(guān)聯(lián)記憶。
寫作和口語(yǔ)中,給大家的建議則是“掌握多少用多少”沒(méi)有必要生背一些特別難的詞匯,如果你本身的詞匯量很少,比如口語(yǔ)考到科技類的話題,一些名詞或者概念,例如“智能手機(jī)”或“環(huán)境友好型”這樣的,需要積累一些。其他的就在備考過(guò)程中,通過(guò)不斷積累和創(chuàng)作自己的素材庫(kù),把詞匯和短語(yǔ)表達(dá)進(jìn)行排列組合玩升級(jí)就綽綽有余。
注意:按需記憶、勤快使用,背單詞的效率至少可以提升一半。
雅思考試備考誤區(qū)2 :磨破嘴皮子,就為了看齊卷福的語(yǔ)速和英倫腔
有不少烤鴨把時(shí)間花在了模仿口音、加快、背誦長(zhǎng)篇大論的模板上面,那我必須遺憾地通知,你走跑偏啦!雅思考試的最終目的是檢驗(yàn)大家溝通和表達(dá)的真實(shí)能力,大家不必迷信口音、語(yǔ)速,作為一項(xiàng)全球認(rèn)可的語(yǔ)言考試,雅思包容各種口音,只要表意清晰即可。
但發(fā)音(pronunciation)確實(shí)是雅思口語(yǔ)的一大評(píng)分要點(diǎn),它到底指的是什么呢?對(duì)于發(fā)音的評(píng)判主要重視以下幾個(gè)方面:
單音要發(fā)準(zhǔn) (individual sounds)
這一點(diǎn)沒(méi)啥捷徑可走,需要大家對(duì)著音標(biāo)或者去聽(tīng)示范讀音,把單詞的正確發(fā)音搞定。在積累一定量之后,你就會(huì)對(duì)不同字母、字母組合的發(fā)音抓到一個(gè)大致的規(guī)律。
找準(zhǔn)單詞中的重音音節(jié) (word stress)
重音音節(jié)不準(zhǔn)通常發(fā)生在同一個(gè)詞根的一組單詞。比如(大寫部分是重讀音節(jié)):
phoTOgraphy
photoGRAphic
同樣由Photo這個(gè)詞生發(fā)出來(lái),重音卻完全不同。
而有時(shí)重讀不同,則會(huì)導(dǎo)致意思完全不一樣,例如:pREsent 表示禮物,是名詞,而preSENT,則是展示、演示,為動(dòng)詞。
找準(zhǔn)一句話中的重讀單詞(sentence stress)
通常需要重讀句中的名詞、動(dòng)詞、形容詞這類有實(shí)際意義的詞匯,這樣聽(tīng)者就可以快速理解你的意思。
語(yǔ)調(diào)要有變化(intonation)
為啥考官越來(lái)越能識(shí)別出背模板的同學(xué)?因?yàn)楸痴b大段文章時(shí),我們的語(yǔ)調(diào)是平的(不信你背個(gè)三字經(jīng)試試),像機(jī)器人一樣,而自然地溝通因?yàn)檎f(shuō)話人的心態(tài)不同,或疑問(wèn)、或肯定、或驚喜,語(yǔ)調(diào)是多樣化的。
合理按照語(yǔ)義切分語(yǔ)段(chunking)
我們需要合理斷句,喘氣的前后要是完整的語(yǔ)義。比如連詞、從句引導(dǎo)詞前后,美劇中的老外說(shuō)話經(jīng)常會(huì)在這些詞前后加個(gè)um... 人家native speaker也需要喘口氣,想想接下來(lái)的意思怎么表達(dá)!
I enjoyed reading this book(可斷) because (可斷)the characters reminded me of my own childhood.
Students tend to doubt if they make the wrong choice(可斷) when(可斷)they have to face difficulty or failure.
注意 :口語(yǔ)交流不需要太花哨的東西,只要保障發(fā)音準(zhǔn)確、表意清晰。
誤區(qū)3:文思泉涌,筆下生風(fēng),寫起作文停都停不下來(lái)
也許是受到中文寫作思維慣性的影響,許多小伙伴習(xí)慣性的在文章的開(kāi)篇堆疊各種華麗詞句,又或是因?yàn)檫^(guò)分迷戀依賴“模板”、“范文”內(nèi)的格式和句型,卻忽略了考試題目中實(shí)際的要求和行文邏輯。
雅思寫作講究一定的格式和規(guī)范,評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中連貫性與銜接性(coherence and cohesion)就對(duì)行文的邏輯和段落間的鏈接做出了明確的規(guī)定。
由于思維方式的差異,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)外國(guó)人的文章大都簡(jiǎn)單明了,一般看了第一個(gè)段落就知道他大概想要表達(dá)的中心思想,甚至能夠了解全文的組織結(jié)構(gòu)。因此開(kāi)篇用30到40個(gè)單詞進(jìn)行一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)練的介紹已經(jīng)足夠。每一段落開(kāi)頭使用一句話來(lái)概括段落的中心思想,接著用自己自然的寫作風(fēng)格來(lái)展開(kāi)論據(jù)和舉例論證。
平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)養(yǎng)成好習(xí)慣,花5分鐘好好看清題目要求,把握好“寫作任務(wù)”到底是什么。下筆之前應(yīng)該先計(jì)劃一下寫作思路,花點(diǎn)時(shí)間把文章的架構(gòu)搭好:形成最重要的三四個(gè)觀點(diǎn),然后安排次序—先寫/論什么、再寫/論什么…,每個(gè)點(diǎn)之間用什么詞或詞組連接,這樣下筆之后不至于雜亂無(wú)章。
注意:回答問(wèn)題要精準(zhǔn),文章邏輯要明晰。
雅思大作文:more and more people buy and use their own cars
雅思大作文題目:As countries developing, more and more people buy and use their own cars. Does the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages for the environment?
作文范文:
Since the invention of combustion engines, motor vehicles have been blamed for the contaminated air and resource consumption. Surely, the increasing number of cars is the major contributor of environmental damage, but it is also one of the greatest invention one could ever imagine.
Scientifically, emissions from cars increase the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. At normal levels, greenhouse gases keep some of the sun’s heat in the atmosphere and help warm Earth. That said, many scientists believe that burning fossil fuels such as gasoline causes greenhouse gas levels to spike, leading to global warming. Thus, cars become the number one suspect under this consideration.
However, to individuals, private cars dramatically changed the way to commute from place to place. Increased road safety, flexible hours and a show-off of personal identity are the three major benefits of the private vehicle while public transport can never compete. Granted that they are expensive piece of machinery, this does not prevent consumers from purchasing them even with monthly loans.
I personally believe that the benefits of owning a private vehicle are evident, while it is our choice of action of conserve the environment. Aside from the production process, modern technology has introduced electric vehicles since a decade ago. Cars do not pollute, whereas people who choose gasoline-consumed cars over for example Tesla do.
All in all, the pollution of private vehicles is attributed to the irresponsibility of people's attitudes towards this particular issue. The upcoming future may introduce environmental friendly transports that to a large extent best all aspects of current cars, and this is up to us to make the choice.
雅思大作文:individuals can do nothing to improve the environment
雅思大作文題目:Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
作文范文:
Environmental problems, such as global warming, excessive waste production or air and water pollution all seems so overwhelming that individual persons cannot deal with them.
This argument sounds reasonable. Addressing environmental problems requires professional knowledge, national legislation, enterprise coordination and many other social resources, and these surely go beyond individual power. As a consequence, not only are the government and large companies blamed for the environment deterioration, but they are also imposed full responsibility for environmental issues. However, this claim is short-sighted, failing to identify the link between what an average person does on a daily basis and the influence he or she can exert on the globe.
The challenge of environmental improvement does not necessarily exempt individuals from their obligation. If we insist on prioritizing the private car over the bus or subway, the policy of limiting private car use would be made in vain. When we enjoy the convenience of one-off products such as chopsticks and throw them away with no hesitation, we are actually encouraging mass production of such commodity and wasting precious natural resources. Actually, ordinary people can play a significant role in making the world a better place to live in. We can be an integrated force when we make efforts towards a common goal. Therefore actions should be taken by ordinary people.
To sum up, regardless of the arduousness of environment problems, individual people can make significant differences by changing their lifestyles. Without involvement and commitment of individuals, no major change would be made.
