雅思寫作備考這5個(gè)陷阱
很多烤鴨在備戰(zhàn)雅思時(shí)存在陷阱,導(dǎo)致考試走彎路,遲遲難出高分??纯聪旅娉R?jiàn)的5個(gè)陷阱,你是否“中招”了呢?
雅思寫作備考這5個(gè)陷阱 你被坑了嗎?
陷阱一:背大學(xué)四六級(jí)詞匯就能順利通過(guò)雅思寫作考試
相當(dāng)多數(shù)量的同學(xué)聽(tīng)說(shuō)只要花時(shí)間把大學(xué)四六級(jí)的單詞全部背熟就能參加雅思寫作考試。其實(shí),大學(xué)四六級(jí)英語(yǔ)考試和雅思考試完全是兩種不同的英文測(cè)試系統(tǒng),兩者沒(méi)有內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,應(yīng)試方法也大相徑庭。
從寫作角度來(lái)說(shuō),雅思的學(xué)術(shù)類大作文沒(méi)有所謂的詞庫(kù),而學(xué)術(shù)類報(bào)告的常用詞匯和國(guó)內(nèi)英語(yǔ)考試寫作的詞匯又是完全不同的。
烤鴨中有很多已經(jīng)順利通過(guò)大學(xué)四六級(jí)考試,有的甚至是高分通過(guò),但是他們的雅思寫作分?jǐn)?shù)卻是很低,有些甚至連5分都沒(méi)有到。顯然僅靠背誦四六級(jí)詞匯是無(wú)法順利通過(guò)雅思寫作考試的。
針對(duì)這一誤區(qū),建議考生多閱讀國(guó)外學(xué)術(shù)類報(bào)告,積累詞匯和慣用句型,或者看劍橋雅思系列真題集4-10,里面的閱讀文章包括附錄中考官給出的高分范文中的詞匯都是雅思寫作考試的重要詞匯。
陷阱二:裸考雅思,以考代替復(fù)習(xí)
有些同學(xué)認(rèn)為只要多參加雅思考試,分?jǐn)?shù)自然會(huì)提高;而且原因是沒(méi)有太多時(shí)間看書復(fù)習(xí)。
雅思考試并不是一門“廉價(jià)”的考試,有些去外省市考試的同學(xué)還要考慮交通和住宿費(fèi)用。
對(duì)于絕大多數(shù)同學(xué)的家庭來(lái)說(shuō),這并不是一筆很小的開(kāi)支。因此屢戰(zhàn)屢敗,屢敗屢戰(zhàn)不是很聰明的方法。而且考多了會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)生的心理產(chǎn)生一定的影響。
因此建議同學(xué)們必須經(jīng)過(guò)系統(tǒng)性的復(fù)習(xí)后,有一定的準(zhǔn)備和把握了再去參加考試,以期順利通過(guò)。
陷阱三:反復(fù)做劍橋真題系列,就能得到寫作高分
劍橋真題系列是一套非常經(jīng)典和權(quán)威的雅思應(yīng)考資料,有同學(xué)將其作為備考圣經(jīng),反復(fù)做里面的套題,以期節(jié)省培訓(xùn)費(fèi)用和時(shí)間,在雅思考試中取得不錯(cuò)的分?jǐn)?shù)。
確實(shí)有很多沒(méi)有參加過(guò)任何培訓(xùn),只是通過(guò)做劍橋真題就考出不錯(cuò)成績(jī)的同學(xué)。但是這些同學(xué)共同的一個(gè)特征就是英語(yǔ)基本功扎實(shí),邏輯思維出色,學(xué)習(xí)方法得當(dāng)。但是對(duì)于普通同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō),只刷真題,不總結(jié),不反復(fù)推敲,顯然是不行的。
正確的做法是要仔細(xì)閱讀劍橋附錄中考官所寫的范文,推敲其段落布局,詞匯句型,培養(yǎng)思路和語(yǔ)感。
陷阱四:大量背誦寫作模板
很多學(xué)生過(guò)于相信一些寫作論壇或者寫作書上推薦的寫作模板,并且將其運(yùn)用到雅思考試中去,但是最后的分?jǐn)?shù)卻是差強(qiáng)人意。
其實(shí)模板作為一種解讀雅思寫作思路的工具還是起到一定作用的,考生可以通過(guò)閱讀寫作模板來(lái)迅速了解雅思寫作段落布局和層次。但是鐘情于模版的學(xué)生一般的寫作分?jǐn)?shù)甚至連6分都不到。所以不推薦同學(xué)大量背誦寫作模板,理由很簡(jiǎn)單:寫作是“活”的,模板是“死”的。
正確的方法是多寫,寫之前要對(duì)雅思的兩部分寫作結(jié)構(gòu)有一定了解,詞匯和句型要有一定積累,最好是找英文寫作強(qiáng)于自己的人幫助批改。
陷阱五:光看范文而不寫
只看不寫肯定不能在雅思寫作考試中考出應(yīng)有成績(jī)。因?yàn)檠潘紝懽骺荚囍挥幸恍r(shí)時(shí)間,要完成兩篇高質(zhì)量學(xué)術(shù)文章。
同學(xué)們平時(shí)只是單純閱讀高分范文或者老師寫的文章,而自己不去寫作的話,首先無(wú)法對(duì)時(shí)間有個(gè)很好的掌控,即使是英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生,若在考試前不寫的話也是不行的。其次,如果不寫的話有些單詞拼寫錯(cuò)誤或者句型語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤就無(wú)法及時(shí)暴露,從而成為最終考試的絆腳石。
雅思寫作教育類話題 題目總結(jié)

2. 學(xué)校的科目誰(shuí)來(lái)選擇?
母題:Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss the two views and give your opinion.
提示:這類題目采取的策略就是“雙批判”,因?yàn)轭}目中提供的兩種選擇往往都是錯(cuò)誤的。

母題:Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
提示:這些話題都有一個(gè)共同的特征:高等教育只對(duì)學(xué)生自己有好處,因此學(xué)生應(yīng)當(dāng)自行為高等教育買單。這類題目的寫法非常有規(guī)律,先駁斥這種理由,再交代學(xué)生自己支付學(xué)費(fèi)的后果就可以了。
子題:政府要為學(xué)生買單嗎?(缺點(diǎn)是給政府帶來(lái)經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān),這類話題寫法和其它政府類話題一樣)

雅思大作文:research into new types of medicine and treatments are essential
雅思大作文題目:Research into new types of medicine and treatments are essential for improving health and deal with diseases. Who do you think should fund these researches: private companies, individuals or governments?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
作文范文:
Medical advancement like new drugs and therapies have been improving the average longevity of citizens and both their phyical and mental well-being, so a massive amount of funds have been and would be continously poured into this field. This essay discusses whether the fundings should originate from ordinary people, major coporations or governments.
Individuals, or the general public to be precise, perform little in medical progress. This fact should be widely acknowledged although this group is the major one that enjoys the achievements on health care. That is mainly because any one kind of new medicines requires time and money that is way beyond any single citizen’s affordability compared with the other two parities mentioned.
Business markets, in comparison, play a vital role on this issue. Businessmen can better detect and meet the needs of people – patients in this context – and they are able to invest greater capital in the pursuing latter higher profits. This strong incentive can bring along fresh treatments and a series of new drugs in the short term. However, the patented medical products with high prices can inflict greater pain for the lower class, which is the root of growing health disparities in the global context. Simply put, health care should not be regarded as a commercial activity but a social obligation.
Governments should take over this mission and cover the most costs. Their obligations, a well-argued and decided issue, are to organize social assets and to invest into fields that benefit people amid the general development. Moreover, the authority occupying greater statistical resources can better decide in which particular disease or diseases should the fundings be invested to help the majority or the immediate. Yet, it is to admit that tax revenue for these scientific researches may be ended up in vain as all the progress have based on numerous failures.
To sum up, I believe that major global companies and governments can both be the main investors on these projects whereas some tradeoffs can be implemented to benefit virtually all citizens, like regulation on price fixing and supervision on the distribution of government fundings
.雅思大作文:children are allowed to play on computers and tablets
雅思大作文題目:More and more parents are allowing their children to play on computers and tablets as they think that children should learn technology skills. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
作文范文:
In the ear of advanced technology, the use of computers has been expanded into many walks of life; gradually, the educational function is targeted within the group of patients who attach more expectations on creating a better studying environment for their descendants. But following is the controversial opinion which believes the significance of negative impacts.
The revolution brought by computers and tablets also changes the traditional concept of education especially for parents who used to believe that the schooling is the only proper way to learn, while, due to the multi-function in a variety of applicants, such electronic devices have been regarded as an efficient alternative to acquire more knowledge even during playing games. Besides, the vivid animation and simplified explanations attract youngsters’ attention easily, by which they can remember a lot of new things and the duration is considerable.
However, the disadvantages are looming. The top concern for the public is that most researches have reflected the addiction of playing rather than learning; although the apps contain something educational, the main purpose is entertaining; as a result, they could never satisfy the need of a great amount of knowledge students should have, and unless the enough supervision and guidance are provided, what they do is just a waste of time. Meanwhile, the healthy problem also should be taken into consideration. There is a common knowledge that staring at the shinning screen frequently could affect the youth’s eyesight, which can be more seriously when using the portable Ipads on the moving vehicles or walking.
In conclusion, we cannot ignore the effectiveness of applying computer and tablets into education field, which actually would be a useful tool, but parents need to understand the drawbacks and give sufficient support for their children.
