解读雅思写作评分标准中的高分原则
对于一些烤鸭来讲,写作之难,不言而喻。有人狂背范文,有人勤奋笔耕,有人数次屠鸭,但是还是不能考的理想的分数。雅思写作确有其难度,考察的不仅是人的综合英语水平,还有思辨能力,知识的广度,对于社会现实的关注,国际化视野等。冰冻三尺非一日之寒,写作才华的提高一定是渐进的过程。但是,干活不向东,累死也无功。作为应试考试,雅思的评分有四项标准,所谓知己知彼,百战不殆。如何有效提高写作分数?研究雅思写作的评分标准,就不难得出这些问题的答案。
在四项评分标准中第一项是Task Achievement / Response. (任务完成)。雅思写作,观点无所谓对错。关键是要切题,言之有理,言之有物,能够自圆其说就好。但是,烤鸭一定要按照题目的要求写作。简言之,就是要明确回答问题和充分论证问题。明确回答问题即你的论证须涵盖题目的所有要求,文章立场要力求清晰。如果通篇文章找不到作者对于一个观点的看法是很难折服考官的。
雅思写作最常见的提问角度有三种:
Discuss both views and give your opinion? / To what extent do you agree or disagree with this? (问题讨论型)
What are the reasons and what measures should be taken to solve it? (分析解决型)
What are the causes of the phenomenon and do you think it is a positive or a negative development? (混合型)
1)现在我们来看看问题讨论类话题主题观点句的写法:
题目:
Housing shortage in big cities can cause severe consequence; some people think that only the government can solve the problems. To what extent do you agree or not?
释义:大城市的住房短缺可以引起严重的后果,有人说只有才能解决这个问题,是否同意?
解析:该题目中有关键性的信息词only, 这个表示绝对性的词汇过于武断,很难令人信服,但是该观点又有其合理成分。综上分析,文章推荐首段尾句写作如下:
As I see it, there is an element of truth in this opinion, yet it is not completely true. This essay aims to explore the roles that governments play in the process of resolving housing shortage and other means available.
释义:在我看来,这个观点有合理成分但是又不完全正确,这篇文章将要探讨下在解决住房短缺的过程中扮演的角色以及其他的可行的方法。
2)另外,烤鸭要留意的是论证的过程不可以偷换概念,特别是扩大或缩小题目的概念
例如: Lectures were used in the past as a good way of teaching a large number of students. As new technology is now available for education, some people suggest that there is no justification for lectures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
