审题在雅思写作中是非常重要的,甚至关系到雅思写作的的成绩,那么接下来就和出国留学网一起来看看雅思写作写作考试中要避免哪些问题?
失分原因
一、题干主次不分
众所周知,一个完整的雅思大作文考题,一般是由题干部分和提问部分组成,而提干部分通常有一到两个句子,两句话之间可以是因果关系,也可以是转折或者并列关系。当题干部分是因果或者转折关系时,意思的重点就放在了表示结果的和表示转折的这个句子上了,于是另外一个句子就变成了次要意思,如:
Scientific and technological advances bring benefits to our daily life. However, most scientists are no longer able to find solutions to the problems they have created. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
一些考生认为这道题就是在作文里“至少有一段是要去论证一下科技进步给生活带来的哪些好处或者便利。”如果这么写就悲剧了,这句话的逻辑关系是转折,转折以后的部分还是提干。还不清楚?那我们再举另一个例子:
More and more women now go out to work. Hence, it is government’s responsibility to provide daycare service for the children of working mother, free of charge. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
在这句里,很明显就能看到题干二个句子的逻辑关系是因果,所以我们应该把重点放在“政府是否有义务为这些工作妇女提供免费照顾孩子的服务上”上,从“赞同”或“反对”入手。
二、问答遗漏或不充分
现在又很多雅思考试的大作文考题中会有两个写作问句,但有很多考生只顾了一个,对于第二个问句“选择性忽视”,这样的审题是不对的,如例句:
Some people think students can learn more effectively in groups, while others think they should study alone. What are the benefits of each method? Which one do you think is more effective?
这道题目要求考生对两种学习方式展开论述,第二个问题,我们是否一定需要为其写一个主体段充分论述呢?这主要取决于题目中这二个写作指令的内在联系。如果第二个问题是前一个问题的后果,那么我们就必须对其补充说明,如果我们通过二个主体段的讨论,已经在数量上分出了这二种学习方法的优点差异,那么针对第二个问句我们只需要在结尾段中进行总结性说明即可。
高分题材题材
作为雅思写作的一个重要话题,文化类经常考察的方面有:建筑类、旅游类、语言类等等。在曾经的2013年11月16日的雅思考试中,就考察了这样的一个题目:Somelanguages are increasing in use,while many others are declining. Do you thinkthis is a positive or negative development? 这就是一个有关语言类的话题。初次知道,常见的文化类话题还有:
20130314建筑类When designing a building,the most important thing to take intoaccount is the intended use of the building rather than its outward what extent do you agree or disagree?
20130706 旅游类 Space travel has been possible for some time and some peoplethink the space tourism could be developed in the future. To what extent do youthink it's a positive or negative development?
20130727 建筑类The restoration of old buildings in major cities in the worldcosts numerous governments' expenditures. This money should be used in newhousing and road development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
在文化类话题中,我们需要去论述的主要有文化的特征、重要意义、传统文化与外来文化等等问题,以及文化与经济和国家发展的结合。那么我们就一起通过一篇经济学人上的文章来学习一下有哪些好的表达。
1、Guarding precious and vulnerable places is one of the better things theUN’s cultural agency does—but it may topple over if it stretches too far.
Guard:守卫,保卫,比如英国的著名报纸就叫做the Guardian 《卫报》。
Precious and vulnerable: 宝贵的和易受伤害的,用于形容传统建筑或者文化非常好。
2、Anyone who dreams of exercising authority (of a fairly benign sort) overthe entire world—with a special remit for the planet's most beautiful andfragile places—will enjoy perusing the 250 or so pages that contain the latestpronouncements from UNESCO's World Heritage Committee.
most beautiful and fragile:最美的和脆弱的,用于形容文化遗产,替换刚才的Precious andvulnerable,注意雅思写作的词汇丰富性。
