在“打造雅思写作的金字塔”一文中,我和大家探讨了用什么结构写雅思写作,怎么样来写分观点。在这篇文章中我将会和大家探讨写出分观点来之后怎么样写支持句。我们的学生在考试时出问题最多的就是写出分观点来不会支撑自己的观点。在中国文化中国画中的留白给人留下无限遐想的空间,是非常美得体现,但是在雅思写作中我们必须逻辑严密,步步为营才能取得高分。现与大家分享六脉神剑---六种支撑自己分观点的方法,教大家如何支撑分观点。
第一剑:阐释说明
经常用到的进行阐释说明的短语有:By this I mean; To be more specific; This is mainly to say等。
例题:
雅思考题:老龄化人口的增多是利大于弊还是弊大于利?
我的主观点:利大于弊;
我的分观点:退休的老人能够为家庭和社区做出贡献,支撑以上主观点。英文如下:
The retired people tend to offer service for the benefits of the family and the community.
我们现在面临的问题是怎么样展开分观点:
我们要善于问退休的老人是怎么样为家庭和社区做出贡献的?然后思考退休的老人待在家里照顾家人做家务,在社区组织一些慈善活动就为家庭和社区做出了贡献。因此在写完分观点之后,一定要问“怎么样”,这样就能把分观点展开了。英文如下:
扩展:This is to say, the elderly always spend their time in taking care of the family and doing household chores for the family as well as organizing charitable activities for the community.
第二剑:举例子
经常用到的进行举例子的短语有:as it is in the case of; …is a case in point; …exemplify my point view; …give us an example that…等
例题:
雅思考题:随着社会的进步,人们传统的技能和生活方式正在灭绝,让这些生活方式和技能存在毫无意义。你同意还是不同意?
我的主观点:我不同意传统的生活技能和生活方式的灭绝,他们的存在很重要。
我的分观点:我认为传统的生活技能应该被保存,因为他有潜在的经济价值,支持以上主观点。英文如下:
I think traditional skills should be preserved because it may cause potential economical values.
分观点列出来之后可以举例进行支撑:
For example, as the technology develops, using pesticides and chemical to grow crops become very popular, for it can greatly improve the out put. But now in some countries, the public are tend to buy crops produced in the traditional way, even if it is much more expensive.
自己的分观点是什么样子的,可以根据分观点的需要来举例。
第三剑:推因论果
经常用到的用于推因论果的短语有:because; because of; on account of; for; since; as a result; consequently; hence等
例题
雅思考题:这是一道Report题目,让分析现代人们压力过大的原因并提出建议
我的分观点:现代人压力大的原因是来自同事之间的竞争,英文如下
Stress stems from the fierce competition among colleagues.
写出分观点来之后,我们需要问“为什么”,“为什么同辈之间的竞争会产生压力”,是因为每个人都渴望成功,但是职位和资源有限,因次,为了争夺有限的职位和资源,同事之间就产生了压力,英文如下:
Every person aspires to success. This very desire pushes people to scramble for limited positions and resources at all costs, creating intense pressure on everyone.
第四剑:事实论据
经常用到的用于事实论据的短语有:In terms of one recent survey; a research survey conducted by….illustrates that….; it is reported that…等
例题
雅思考题:很多人认为在工作和休息的时候使用现代技术会减少人的创新。你在多大程度上同意还是不同意?
我的观点:不同意会减少创新。
我的分观点(一反):在打造雅思写作的金字塔一文中我们提到过要用两正一反来支撑我们的分观点,这是一反:有人用不会使人创新的方法使用现代技术,英文如下:
There are people who use modern technology in ways that do not develop creativity.
我们用报纸报道的内容来支撑我们的这一分观点,英文如下:
It is reported that students in many countries are using the Internet to plagiarise-to use other people’s work and present as their own.
注意:所编内容要符合逻辑和常识。
第五剑:对比论证
对比论证分为三种情况:与反面事物对比;假设对比;时间对比
经常用在对比论证的短语有:while;whereas; whilst; on the other hand; however;by contrast;if; without等
与反面事物对比:
例题:
雅思考题:有人喜欢去麦当劳,有人喜欢去中国餐厅?你的意见是什么?
我的观点:我喜欢去麦当劳
我的分观点:去麦当劳可以节省时间,英文如下:
By choosing McDonald’s, one can save a lot of time.
然后举例支撑我的分观点:
For example, it may take you only 5 to 10 minutes before you can enjoy the spicy chicken or Big Mac.
结果字数不够,这时候我们就需要用反面论证的方法来支撑我们的分观点:
However, one or even two hours are often required for a dinner in a traditional Chinese restaurant.
假设对比:
例题:
雅思考题:大学生应不应该学习足够的技能?
我的观点:大学生应该学足够的技能
我的分观点:大学生学习足够的技能很重要,英文如下
It is important that college students should learn adequate skills.
然后我们用阐释的方法来支撑我们的分观点,英文如下:
This is an information age where the Internet is a master key to almost all the knowledge and information available. So a good understanding of technology will give you an edge in the society today.
结果字数不够,因此我们用假设论证来弥补字数:
On the other hand, if he has little knowledge of computer skills, a student will lag behind the times, in danger of being excluded from what is going on in the world.
时间对比:
雅思考题:我们是需要忠心的员工还是具有新思想的员工?
我的观点:我们需要新思想的员工
我的分观点:随着时代的进步,对于劳动力的需求发生了改变,英文如下:
As we are ushered into a new era, the demand for labor has shifted its focus.
然后我们对比过去与现在,英文如下:
In the past, companies only required their employers to be loyal and to follow the supervisors’ instructions. Nowadays, however, employees with imagination and creativity are most welcomed in the job market. Therefore, the employer is always happy to see new faces and fresh ideas.
第六剑:分类说明
有些题目我们需要分类说清楚
雅思考题:聪明的学生和学习一般的学生应不应该分开教?
我的观点:应该分开教
我的分观点:分开教有助于老师因材施教,英文如下:
The most obvious advantage lies in the fact that it allows teachers to employ different pedagogic strategies suited to the particualr group of pupils.
然后我们需要分类说明对于好的学生的影响是什么样子的,对于学习成绩一般的学生的影响是什么样的,英文如下:
For the more intelligent who are more likely yo have a quicker mind and a stronger knowledge thirsty intention, teachers can include something more different or complex in their syllabus, cathering for the special needs. On the other hand, some other students who are not that intelligent may be slow at learning or acquiring new knowledge or skills, a correspondnigly suitable teaching stategy then is highly desirable.
