1、首段就能定7分?
“良好的開端是成功的一半”,有個(gè)良好的雅思寫作開頭段也是相同的道理,寫好了開頭段離雅思寫作高分也就更近一步了。那么我們?cè)撊绾螌懞瞄_頭段?下面給出幾個(gè)寫好雅思作文開頭的幾個(gè)簡單方法,各位烤鴨們可以參考參考~教大家如何做到在第一段給出清晰的個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)!
很多國內(nèi)的考生受到寫中文作文或者傳統(tǒng)英語教學(xué)的影響,寫一篇文章的開頭段時(shí)總是想要盡力抓住考官的眼球,不停地?cái)[弄自己還不成熟的詞匯和句型,結(jié)果非但沒有得到想要的分?jǐn)?shù),反被考官倒打一耙。那么我們要如何在最短的時(shí)間內(nèi),以最簡單以及最能得分的方式寫出好的作文開頭段呢?
其實(shí)我們可以把雅思寫作題目中的提問方式分成四個(gè)大類:觀點(diǎn)類(opinion essay)、討論類(discussion essay)、優(yōu)劣勢類(advantage and disadvantage essay)和報(bào)告類(report)。每一種提問方式的題目都有自己不同的開頭段寫作方法。
Part 1 Opinion Essay
觀察觀點(diǎn)類題目的特征,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),此類題型的特征是題目有且只有一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)。而題目要求我們回答的是“同意”或“不同意”的觀點(diǎn)。所以只要確定好自己的觀點(diǎn),開頭段就可以寫出來。
例如:
Some people believe that living in big cities is bad for health.
Do you agree or disagree?
如果,我們選擇同意此觀點(diǎn),可以根據(jù)“背景句+直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目+個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)”的公式。
These days, it is quite common to see that a growing number of people choose to settle down in large cities. (背景句) But some people argue that leading an urban life would produce negative influences on people’s health. (直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目) Personally, I agree with this idea. (個(gè)人觀點(diǎn))
如果選擇不同意題目觀點(diǎn),則可以用“although”的讓步狀語從句進(jìn)行改寫,得到:
These days, it is quite common to see that a growing number of people choose to settle down in large cities. (背景句) Although some people argue that leading an urban life would produce negative influences on people’s health, (although +直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目) personally, I do not agree with this idea. (個(gè)人觀點(diǎn))
Part 2 Discussion Essay
觀察討論類的題目,可以發(fā)現(xiàn),這樣的題目會(huì)有兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn),并且題目要求“討論雙方觀點(diǎn)”和“給出自己的觀點(diǎn)”。這樣的題目中,其實(shí)只用在開頭段中寫出背景句和轉(zhuǎn)述雙方觀點(diǎn)就好了,至于個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn),可以放到personal idea的段落中。如:
Some people think citizens should be responsible for their own health costs. Others think it is better to have a health care system which provides free health services.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
這個(gè)題目的開頭段就可以寫為:
People in some countries are paying an increasing amount of money for seeing a doctor, even for a minor illness. (背景句) But, still, some people assert that individuals themselves are supposed to pay for such fees. (一方觀點(diǎn)) However, other people disagree and suggest that it is the government’s responsibility to undertake the health costs for its citizens. (另一方觀點(diǎn))
Part 3 Advantages & Disadvantage Essay
優(yōu)劣勢的題目,一般而言都會(huì)給出一個(gè)現(xiàn)象或者是趨勢,這又剛好和我們開頭段中的“背景句”吻合了,所以在優(yōu)劣勢文章的開頭段的時(shí)候就沒有必要再寫背景句了,直接轉(zhuǎn)述題目就可以了。但是要表達(dá)出自己的“優(yōu)大于劣”或者“劣大于優(yōu)”的觀點(diǎn),只需要用一句話就搞定了。如:
Shopping online is replacing shopping in stores.
Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
開頭段可以寫為:
These days, it is common to see that people prefer choosing online shopping to shopping in physical stores. Although some problems would occur as this trend continues, I believe such development brings more benefits.
Part 4 Report
其實(shí)report最簡單,因?yàn)橥ǔn}目和優(yōu)劣勢文章一樣,會(huì)給出一個(gè)現(xiàn)象或趨勢,所以開頭段的組成部分就只有改寫題目。如:
In many parts of the world, children and teenagers are committing more crimes.
Why is this happening?
What are the possible solutions to solve this problem?
開頭段可以寫為:
These days, it is common to see that the rate of youth crime has been increasing dramatically all over the globe and it is a most worrying issue of modern society.
2、句型擴(kuò)展
對(duì)于語法基礎(chǔ)薄弱卻沒有時(shí)間系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)語法的同學(xué),建議先熟悉英語句子的框架,只要不離開這些基本句型,句子就不會(huì)有錯(cuò)誤,然后在基本句型的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行擴(kuò)展。比如:
1. 有一個(gè)大的增長;
There was a substantial increase.
2. 有一個(gè)大的增長在汽車數(shù)量上;
There was a substantial increase in the number of cars.
3. 有一個(gè)大的增長在使用清潔能源的汽車數(shù)量上;
There was a substantial increase in the number of cars using clean energy.
多練習(xí)!一定要多做練習(xí)!在練習(xí)過程中一定會(huì)遇到不清楚,不確定的地方,這時(shí)就要大膽的去問,問老師,問同學(xué)。趁著問題還新鮮,記憶還深刻,趕快解決!
3、語法
通讀Cracked your grammar兩遍!此書作者通過批改幾千份學(xué)生的作業(yè),挑選最具普遍性的語法錯(cuò)誤,讓你通過別人犯過的錯(cuò)誤來提醒自己,來提升語法精準(zhǔn)度。
4、進(jìn)行主語多樣性的練習(xí)。
比如:
1、【疑問句做主語從句來寫】是否一棟老建筑應(yīng)該被拆掉取決于它的歷史和藝術(shù)價(jià)值。
答案:Whether an old building should be torn down/knocked down depends on its value in history and art.
2、【用It is結(jié)構(gòu)來寫】政府不可能給每個(gè)年輕人提供免費(fèi)的大學(xué)教育。
It is impossible for any government to provide with every young adult with free university education.
這樣才能增加句子的結(jié)構(gòu)多樣性且又能保證句子很地道!分?jǐn)?shù)的提高會(huì)超出你的想象。
5、了解狀語從句
他的規(guī)則,目的,句型。進(jìn)行從句改錯(cuò)練習(xí),介詞的使用,修飾名詞翻譯練習(xí),段落展開翻譯練習(xí)等。這些練習(xí)對(duì)雅思寫作能力的提升非常重要!
