雅思考试主要是通过对考生听、说、读、写四个方面英语能力的考核,综合测评考生的英语沟通运用能力,实现“沟通为本”的考试理念。对于雅思考生来说,也有很多考试难点和政策盲区需要帮助解答。今天雅思无忧网小编准备了雅思作文高分策略:如何将简单句变为复杂句 如何避免写出“官腔”范儿的雅思作文,希望通过文章来解决雅思考生这方面的疑难问题,敬请关注。
在教学过程中,强调让学生多写单句,单句写好了,复杂句也会写。这个做法可能和大部分的老师是相反的。但这个教学方法基于一个简单的道理:雅思考官不好蒙骗。你一个复杂句如果写的不对,考官马上可以看出来,分数马上就会降低。因此,踏实写好简单句,分数更加容易提高。
只有当你熟悉单句后,才可以将句子连接起来。
方法1:如果两个简单句没有因果关系,基本上是两个独立的事情,往往可以简单地用and相连。
举例:Children are not sensitive to prices and parents prefer to satisfy their needs.
方法2:如果两个简单句有一定的因果关系,往往可以用状语从句相连。
一般来说,if 和when引导条件状语从句(也有一定因果关系,只是不那么强)
举例:If advertising campaigns directed at children are regulated, children will not pester their parents to buy many goods for them.
Since, as, because, so等引导原因或者结果状语从句,表示比较强的因果关系
举例:some children like fast food since they are overwhelmed by fast food advertisements every day.
方法3:如果状语从句怕重复,可以用and(或者;)+连接词的方式
有很多连接词because of this, as a result of this, consequently, as a consequence 等,都是表示因果关系。
举例:some children are addicted to violent video games, and because of this, they can show aggression and bully their peers at school.
方法4:如果第一个单句的最后一个单词和第二个单句的第一个单词重复,可以用定语从句连接。
举例:Children are increasingly temperamental due to their addiction to violent electronic games. These games are normally promoted by advertising firms.
可以改成:Children are increasingly temperamental due to their addiction to violent electronic games, which are normally promoted by advertising firms.
方法5:如果第二个单句是第一个单句的结果,有可能使用非限制性定语从句
举例:Advertisements have given a lot of information about products. This enables parents to make well-informed buying decisions.
可以改成:Advertisements have given a lot of information about products, which can help parents to make well-informed buying decisions.
简而言之,不要嫌弃简单句,简单句写熟了,复杂句很容易写
雅思大作文考的是议论文,即考查考生是否能够在相对较短的时间内搜集论据,具体地论证自己的观点。但受国内教育体制的影响,中国考生往往缺乏对这些社会话题的深刻思考和讨论,造成思考模式的僵化与狭隘,写的太“官腔。
雅思大作文考的是议论文,即考查考生是否能够在相对较短的时间内搜集论据,具体地论证自己的观点。但受国内教育体制的影响,中国考生往往缺乏对这些社会话题的深刻思考和讨论,造成思考模式的僵化与狭隘,因而论证非常空洞、缺乏说服力,写的太“官腔。
那么,应该如何对大作文进行有力的论证呢?最常用的方式就是解释和例证,几乎在每一篇雅思大作文中,都可以看见这两种论证方法的身影。
下面关于“work at home or study at home”的一段例证:
IBM, one of the business giants, has saved nearly 70 million US dollars in its northeastern region by promoting telecommuting, which has been a driving force to other enterprises to convert their normal working staff into telecommuters. Companies in Japan are one of them and plan to launch the scheme in 2009, which, in turn, spiritually wins more supports from the existing employees, and attracts new hires. 这段话中的2个例子(商业巨头IBM和日本的企业计划)都较好地完成了“若员工选择在家上班,会对公司带来积极的作用”这一证明。
此外,提醒考生们需要注意的是,雅思大作文明确指出“give reasons or examples from your own experience”, 这里的“your own experience”和“your personal experience”是完全不同的概念。前者是指通过个人的学习和总结而获得的经验,后者是指个人经历或周围某个个体的故事。如谈到“working hard produces better results”, “your own experience”的例子一定是“some 3-year-high school students usually stay up late to review lessons and prepare for next day classes”, 而“your personal experience”的例子则应该是“my roommate, Tony has always been working hard on studies and staying up late every night”, 不难看出两者的区别。故雅思大作文是不能使用个人案例的论据的,这一点与新托福的写作也是不同的。
另外,数据论证也是一个重要的方法,同时也是国外文章中非常常见的。使用这种方式,需要注意两点:数据和数据的来源。数据的真实性不重要,但至少要看上去是“真实的”。如:A survey by the latest Ministry of Labour’s opinion poll shows that more companies would like to open their doors to disabled people, as long as they can access to modern technology, and the rate has been increasing every year by 5% since 2003.
使用数据论证,提醒考生们不要刻意将数据夸张,这样反而会降低数据的真实可靠性。常见的句型有“a survey by….shows that / a research by….finds out that / a study by….suggests that / Statistics by….conclude that…”省略号的部分是需要根据文章的内容来填写的数据来源出处或机构。常用的机构包括:国外大学、学院、报纸、杂志、电视台、之声、网站、研究机构、民意调查等。我们按顺序给大家做一个示范:the University of Sussex, Business College of several European countries, the USATODAY, state media CNN, BBC Talking Point, , American Institute for Research, Harris Interactive Poll等,考生可按照自己的情况,来准备几个备选方案以供使用。
