最难三道雅思议论文写作题对策大揭秘最难雅思议论文写作题之一:审题难雅思写作大作文的考察形式均是议论文,所以专家们和考生通过总结过去的题目,发现这些题目的出题是有一定的规律的,如问题模式都是以讨论类和分析解决性为主,此外,它必定会牵涉到各类话题,而这些常见的话题经过总结也无外乎十类之内,像科技类、教育类都是出现率非常高的。
但是总是有些例外,在我们接触过的雅思题目中,有一些题目并不属于上述两个行列,可以称之为难,我把这些题目归纳为三类,分别难在审题、正确的论证结构和合理的论据扩展。
下面我仅列举来介绍。
一、审题难1、There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?这个题目属于优缺点讨论,但很多考生看到第一问就觉得这题目和常规的讨论类分析的题目问题模式有所不同。
我们在审题的时候会发现第二问就是常规的优缺点讨论,可以得出用双边论证来写。
再回头看第一问中有个they,指代的是第一句中的social, medical and technical problems,所以我们必须在论证的时候要回答这个问题,即要写三个方面的缺点。
所以此类问题的应对策略为问什么答什么。
下面再看一题,也属于此种类型。
2、The development of technology changes the way people connect with each other. In which way does the development of technology change the types of relationships among people? Does it have positive or negative effects on the relationships?上题第二问也是优缺点讨论,而第一问问科技的进步对人们交往的影响,那我们在论证中也要回答这个问题。
可以两问相结合,即先回答科技进步都交往的影响,如手机、互联网等的发展,然后分别论证其两者的优缺点。
下面一题也是属于这种两问相结合的问题模式,这是一个多选题,考生可以双边论证,正文分别列举最重要和最不重要的两至三门课程进行论证。
3、Most countries spend much money on education, as they start to realize the important of education. In your opinion which two subjects are the most important for young people and which one is the least important?Subjects: Literature SportsMathematics EconomyPhysics HistoryMusic GeographyPhilosophy Foreign languages上述两题的难度在于问题对文章对应结构的影响。
像这种情况,专家认为,考生只要做到认真审题,记住雅思写作的议论文的两种主题结构为双边论证和单边论证,然后尽量在论证过程中穿插入另一问。
这样就能很好的结合两个问题。
最难雅思议论文写作题之二:论证结构难在上一篇中我为大家介绍了雅思写作议论文的第一类难题,列举了三个题目,并提出了相应的策略。
这篇继续为大家介绍第二类难题和对策。
二、论证结构难反观雅思考试的议论文题目,我们会发现其问题模式无非可以总结为两类:讨论类和分析解决型。
但是仔细分析的考生会发现还有一类问题模式并不完全属于其中的某一类。
请看下面的几个题目:1. As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual well-being. What are the factors that contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?2. The unlimited use of cars may cause many problems. What are those problems? In order to reduce the problems, should we discourage people from using cars?3. In many places shopping is becoming a free-time activity, replacing the traditional hobbies of the past. Discuss the reasons for this development. Is this development positive or negative?4. In the past, people used to travel to see the difference from their home country. However, the sceneries in places around the world seem similar nowadays. What are the causes of these similarities? Do you think that the advantages of this similarity outweigh the disadvantages?上述三个题目都有两问。
第一问是要求讨论分析原因和问题,如factors, problems, reasons。
如若是分析解决型,那么很显然第二问就是要求提出解决方法等。
可是这三个题目并非如此发展,而是问考生是否同意某个观点或者认为此现象是积极或消极的影响,属于常见的讨论类问题模式。
所以我们发现上述三个题目是所谓的分析解决型和讨论类的综合题型。
那么这类题目所对应的文章结构和单一的讨论和分析解决都不一样。
我们遵守一个原则,问什么答什么。
正文一段写原因或问题,一段直接发表自己的观点,然后提出一些理由来支持。
可参考下面的结构:Introduction Background + Topic (Problems)Body Causes / ProblemsTopic Sentencecause one / problem one + supporting sentencescause two / problem two + supporting sentencescause three / problem three + supporting sentencesDiscussionMy Opinion (Topic Sentence)reason one + supporting sentencesreason two + supporting sentencesreason three + supporting sentencesConclusion Restate my opinion所以上面的第一题参考这个结构就可以得出这样的提纲:Introduction People spend most of their adult life in their jobs, so job satisfaction is the most essential element for people to be well-being。
Body Several factors are thought to be critical to lead to job satisfactionwell paidthe opportunities to get promotedsuited to the jobHowever, it is different to ensure everyone to be satisfied with their jobs。
Different people have different definitions about job satisfactionThe employers are in the wild chase of higher and quicker profits。
Conclusion The employees have to stay positive and find a right job。
因此其他的三个题目也可以依照这个结构得出相应的提纲。
此类题目的难度在于考生见到此类陌生的问题模式,会觉得考前准备的结构,如模板等无处可用。
建议考生要做好各手准备,虽然此类题目出现机率很低,但还是在考前也列一个此类模板,以便随机应变。
最难雅思议论文写作题之三:论据扩展难在上一篇中笔者为大家介绍了最难的雅思写作议论文的系列文章二即第二类难题,论证结构难,并列举了四个题目进行了细节具体的分析,还提出了相应的解决策略。
这篇我将继续为大家介绍这一系列文章之三,最后一类难题,论据扩展难以及其对策。
三、论据扩展难雅思大作文的考察形式是议论文,既是议论文,势必设计一些话题。
在近几年的考试中,经研究分析发现,雅思议论文最关注的是教育类的话题,此外科技类,媒体类,文化类,政府类,交通类等都有牵涉。
但是面对那么多的话题和题目,能够做到在几分钟之内就想出充足合理有说服力的理由是很困难的一个任务。
况且有时考题所出的题目非常偏,考生根本无法想到任何相关的理由。
所以所谓的论据扩展难,就是指考生在面对有些议论文的难题时,毫无头绪,无法扩展出论据,因为雅思写作的考题有个特点是题目出的很细节,有些具体抽象的话题也涵盖其中,所以没有一定的积累的考生在面对这些问题的时候很难找到合理的理由来进行支持,继而使文章内容浅显没达到要求而导致拿了低分。
下面列举几题来熟悉一下此类题目:1. Nowadays, some universities offer students skills that assist them to find employment, but some people believe that the main function of a university should be to provide students with access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?2. In many countries the number of elderly people is increasing fast. Does this trend have more positive or negative effects on the society?3. One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a cars uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?上面三个题目难点在于如何扩展文章。
