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考试形式及应对策略 纯英文:外教谈雅思作文如何获得高分,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。
在雅思考试中,很多新手“烤鸭”对雅思写作这部分把握不是很清楚透彻,雅思写作分几部分?考试的难点是什么?如何应对呢?小编特整理了雅思作文考试形式及应对策略,希望能够帮助到各位考生!
1.考试形式:
雅思写作是笔试的最后一项,要求考生在60分钟内完成两篇作文(task 1 和task 2)。 Task 1 要求考生在约20分钟内完成150字以上的图表类文章;Task 2 要求考生在约40分钟内写一篇不少于250字的议论文。
2.考试难点:
(1) 小作文题型多样,词汇变化要求高。
主要以考查图表为主。考的较多的有曲线图,饼状图,柱状图,表格等,另外,流程图和地图也偶尔会考到。而且个别考试一下子会考8个图表。而对于不用类型的作文,考查学生的语言能力也是不一样的。比如:饼状图要求考生分析出各个项目的比较关系和所占比例;但是到了折线图,如果只是知道比较关系如何表达,那是远远不够的,考生还需要掌握表示上升,下降的词汇,以及表示线图走向趋势的表达。而且,这些词汇句式在全篇需要出现10次以上,如果考生只会一种表达方式是不能够拿高分的哦。
(2) 小作文数据规律表达不清,逻辑混乱。
除了我们上边提到的词汇,考生在写考场作文时,对于图表数据把握不准,没有规律,所以导致作文写出来没有逻辑,分析混乱,不能得分。
例如:某次考试真题,需要考生分析中国,日本和英国在小汽车,公交车和自行车的使用量方面的数据对比。
二十几个大小不同的数据摆在面前,同学脸上明显布满了黑线啊。
3.解决办法:
考生在备战雅思写作时,老师会针对小作文不同类型的侧重点,全方位给学生补充重点词汇,以及同义词汇和重点句式,让学生轻松玩转小作文各类表达。
对于数据规律的描述,老师会通过应用“多功能表格”法,帮助学生轻松发现数据规律(如递增、递减或者倍数关系等),精确,有逻辑地对比数据和项目的不同。
Safeguard your writing score – don’t squander marks
As an IELTS examiner and trainer I have marked thousands of Writing Tests; both in the real test environment and in New Oriental School courses. When students receive their results they often ask me how they can improve their writing score, or how they should modify their answer to achieve a higher score. What many students fail to realise is that improving a writing score is not simply a matter of writing a better answer; one common reason for a low writing score is that the answer was penalised for failing to meet certain important criteria within the marking system. An examiner will penalise an answer for a number of problems which, for the sake of this article I shall describe as Writing Crimes. Once you have identified these crimes and eradicated them from your answer, a higher score will be easier to achieve, more importantly you are not simply throwing marks away unnecessarily.
Task One General Training – The Letter
There is one sure-fire way to lose marks on this simple writing task, an answer which does not cover all the points listed in the question will instantly be penalised, regardless of the quality of the letter itself. All letter questions present the candidate with an outline of the situation followed by three or four bullet points of required content. An answer which fails to present just one of these (i.e. only three of the four are present in the answer) will automatically be penalised.
Combined with this idea is the problem of not sufficiently emphasising the intention of the letter. If the reason for the letter is inviting a teacher to a student party; simply describing the party and signing off the letter with “hope to see you there” is not acceptable. In the early stage of the letter you should state your aim, “I am writing to invite you to our party”. The body of the letter should contain sentences such as, “all of the students really want you come, so it would really mean a lot to us if you could join us”.
Another easy way to throw away marks here is to use the wrong style. If you are writing to a friend then an informal style is required. If you are writing to a company or someone you do not know, obviously the writing style requires an informal and polite tone.
Academic Task One – Graphs and Charts
An answer which omits key details will be penalised. This raises the question of “What is a key detail”; this will vary from task to task. In pie chart task which has only three countries and three categories of data (e.g. nuclear, coal and oil energy) failing to describe one country or category will be interpreted as “omitting key details”. Obviously it is not necessary to describe every piece of data for each country and category. In questions where there is an abundance of data, more details can be ignored but it is mandatory to include some mention of each country and category.
