雅思大作文审题方法-三步法第一步是通读。
通常考生的习惯是,拿到作文先看一下小作文考什么图,再看一下大作文考什么题,然后开始动手写小作文。
其实就这么看一下,你知道了今天考的是什么类别,什么主题,就已经把通读的工作做好了。
在一边写小作文的时候,你的大脑无意中其实已经开始酝酿大作文了。

当小作文完成,考生正式开始进入大作文的时候,你需要再仔仔细细把题目读一次,并且要去找一下题目中的关键词,有没有限定词/句,有没有绝对词。
所谓限定词,就是把题目的主题限定在一定范围内的词。
比如:The incidence of violence/crimes for young people is increasing. Give possible reasons and recommendations of punishment and measures to the situation., 这个题目中youth 就是一个关键词,全文必须围绕青少年来分析其犯罪原因和惩罚方案,有的学生写到了失业率高,找不到工作,没有钱负担生活,所以去犯罪。
这个理由用于成年人的犯罪是很好,但大多数的青少年还在学习阶段,还没工作,自然谈不上失业的压力。
所以写这个话题,如果我们从家庭和学校的环境,以及媒体的影响这几个方面去着手会更切题。
所谓绝对词,就是all, best, only, the most等词汇,题目中出现这样词汇,考生是很容易提出反驳的。
比如Some people think economic development is the only way to measure the success of a government. To what extend do you agree or disagree. 经济的发展确实是衡量一个政府是否成功的重要标志,我们可以写一到两个段落来说明经济的重要性,然后再写一个让步段,来反驳ONLY 这个词,可以提出教育的普及,社会福利等方面也不可忽视,这样文章就更全面。
第三步——列提纲。
这是所有写作老师都反复强调,而学生却总不愿意去做的一件事。
不愿意列提纲的理由是大家总觉得40分钟时间宝贵,恨不得从第一秒就开始拼命写。
但是,没有整理好思路,一边想一边写的结果是更加浪费时间,而且段落的发展越到后面越混乱。
在列提纲之初,肯定是先要brainstorming,问题是很多考生brainstorming完了就以为自己审完了题目。
其实brainstorming 出来的很多点是有重复或者有因果关系的,如果以这些重复或有因果关系的点作为段落的主题句,那么写到后面一定会有问题。
所以,我们应该花一点时间整理一下逻辑。
比如讨论出国留学的好处和坏处,大多数学生很能想到下列的几个点1.得到更好的教育;2.得到更好的工作;3.开阔眼界4.文化交流5.学习语言。
其实这5个点,整理一下的话,可以发现1和5是并列的,2是其结果。
3和4也同样是因果关系。
这样5个点变成2个点,每个点的论证也有了着落,写起来就会很顺。
而有些学生想到了1和2就觉得自己有来两个段落了,立刻开始动笔,写完主体第一段,再开始第二段的时候,突然发现其实得到更好的工作是更好教育的一个结果,如果要把这个段落写清楚就得把第一段再重复一遍。
克服雅思写作软肋的方法介绍我们可以从雅思写作的评分标准(大作文)入手,给同学们提出备考雅思写作的四方面建议:1. Task Response(任务的完成情况):在这个方面最重要的是字数和审题。
所以练习速度至关重要,考前一定要有限时写作的体验。
审题方面,一定要看清题目的问题(包括到底有几个问题,问题是辩论式的还是论说式的,辩论焦点是什么),可以把历年考题拿出来做专门的审题训练。
2. Coherence and Cohesion(文章的连贯性):段落划分和连接词训练。
在段落方面,一定要用符合英美写作习惯的topic sentence + supporting sentences,reason + example的方式来写作,连接词方面,特别是转折、因果、举例有关的连接词,要做专项的练习。
3. Lexical Resource(词汇的多样性)和4. Grammatical Range and Accuracy(语法句式的准确性和多样性)这两点都与考生的英语基本功有关,短期内很难有实质性突破。
很多考生采取背单词和看语法书的方法,但因为非常枯燥也坚持不了多久且没有什么成效。
这里给大家的建议是第一,通过作文习作并让有经验的老师批改,找出属于自己的在语法和词汇方面的问题,发现一个问题解决一个问题,并在老师的指导下配合相关的有针对性的语法和词汇学习。
第二,一定要摈弃用“大词”、“难句”的强迫心态。
记住:Although you should aim for varied sentences and vocabulary, clear, simple structures are better than more complex but inaccurate sentences. Do not think that phrases you have learned can freely apply to any situation.雅思写作改错练习(附答案)1Futurism, an early twentieth-century movement in art, rejected all traditions and attempts to glorify contemporary life by emphasizing the machine and motion.2 But, for a small group of students, professional training might be the way to go since well-developing skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job or not.3 For a group of remaining in existence, a profit-making organization must, in the long run, produces something consumers consider useful or desirable.4 For a result of two or three centuries of scientific investigation we have come to believe that Nature is understandable in the sense that when we ask her questions by way of appropriate observations and experiments,she will answer truly and reward us with discoveries that endure.5 At the same time, young people should be encourage tocommunicate with their peers and develop their interpersonal skills, which may help them greatly to reduce dependence in their parents.6 When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what their advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.7 Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficiently services to consumers through the use of computers.8 The American economic system is, organizing around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in that consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.9 Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, which together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.10 The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time--consuming, and sometimes even overwhelming.参考答案1Futurism, an early twentieth-century movement in art, rejected all traditions and attempts to glorify contemporary life by emphasizing the machine and motion.错误: and并列连接两个谓语,应该是平行结构。
