在雅思写作中,一切的写作技巧都不如对写作的细节把握。在平时的写作练习中,考生可以根据雅思写作评分标准来衡量自己的写作水平,下面是出国留学网小编搜集整理的关于雅思作文的写作技巧,欢迎查阅。
雅思作文写作技巧
一.拒绝无谓的单词和词组
1.一些不必要的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉。
比如:When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion。
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents。
2.替换无聊的表达,故意写出复杂的长难句,但是让整个句子显得特别冗长,其实并不会给你的雅思作文加分。
例如:Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time。
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
二.拒绝重复词汇和表达
1.雅思写作评分标准中有一点:丰富性。很多考生做不到在写作中使用更丰富的词汇和表达,也就与高分失之交臂。有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。
例如下面这个例子:The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size。
large对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large。
更简洁的表达方式为:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm。
2.有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换
例如:My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm。
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly,显得更为简洁:
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm.
雅思写作备考误区
1.背大学四六级词汇就能顺利通过雅思写作考试
相当多数量的同学听说只要花时间把大学四六级的单词全部背熟就能参加雅思写作考试。
其实,大学四六级英语考试和雅思考试完全是2种不同的英文测试系统,两者没有内在联系,应试方法也大相径庭。
所以同学们花大精力在背诵和记忆大学四六级词汇无疑是浪费时间和青春的一种行为。
针对这一误区,建议考生多阅读国外学术类报告,积累词汇和惯用句型,或者看剑桥雅思系列真题集4-10,里面的阅读文章包括附录中考官给出的高分范文中的词汇都是雅思写作考试的重要词汇。
此外,有时间的同学可以参加专业和系统的雅思考前培训,在较短的时间内,老师会教会你们如何正确科学并高效地准备雅思考试。
2.裸考雅思,以考代替复习
尽管雅思考试并不像高考那样一考定终生,每年有40多场雅思考试可以参加。但是毫无准备的去参加考试本身是一种不成熟和对自己不负责,对父母血汗钱的一种亵渎。
因此建议同学们必须经过系统培训或者自学后,有一定的准备和把握了再去参加考试,以期顺利通过。
3.反复做剑桥真题系列,就能得到写作高分
剑桥真题系列是一套非常经典和权威的雅思应考资料,可以这么说,所有准备参加雅思考试的考生基本人手都有一套剑桥的教材。
正确的做法是要仔细阅读剑桥附录中考官所写的范文,推敲其段落布局,词汇句型,培养思路和语感。
雅思作文写作例题
大作文题目:
Some people think that the detailed description of crimes on newspapers and TV has bad consequences, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
话题分类:媒体类
1.题目解析:
题目大意:一些人认为报纸和电视上对于犯罪行为的细节描述有负面的影响,因此这样的信息在媒体中应该被限制。在何种程度上同意这个观点?
题型特点:需明确表明对观点的态度;同时,题目中有一部分信息是观点的原因,‘对犯罪行为的细节描述有负面影响’,对这部分信息不能忽略了回应,可以跟主体段证明应该被限制放在一起回应。
本文论文推进:开头引出当下关于媒体的争议,以及题目中的观点,表明自己立场。中间段先分析为何此类信息需要被限制,接着用让步的方式承认一些媒体上此类信息有一定好处,但过于细节的是需要限制的。结尾总结论点,重申观点。
难点:这道题容易让考生纠结限制的‘程度’问题,建议同学们针对题目给出的关键信息‘detailed description’进行回应,即我们的观点是‘限制媒体上对于犯罪细节的描述’,而不是完全不对犯罪信息进行报道。
2.写作思路:
开头段:当下媒体自由度较高,对犯罪的报道也越来越丰富。有人担心此类细节的报道会产生不良后果,应该被限制。个人观点表示同意。
主体第一段:之所以应该限制这一类细节描述,有几大原因。受到最大影响的是犯罪的受害者,报道过于细节,会加重他们的身心创伤,甚至侵犯隐私。而对普通大众来说也无益,细节描述含有过于血腥暴力的内容,不仅引起不适,也让人担忧对年轻人的影响。三是对于一些潜在的犯罪份子,这些细节报道可能会给他们提供信息支持,刺激和怂恿了犯罪行为。
主体第二段:当然,适度的报道有正向作用,也有人认为在报纸和电视上对犯罪进行一定程度的报道能够让大众增强安全意识,了解犯罪份子的行为模式,改善保护措施,避免成为受害者。但报道的内容应当进行充分审查,进行关键的说明即可,细节的报道是没有必要的。
结尾段:总的来说,基于对群众和犯罪率的影响,犯罪的细节描述是需要受到审查和限制的, 虽然报纸和电视有协助大众提高防范意识的责任。
参考范文
Increased degree of freedom in media reports has allowed exposure of crime cases to come forth in a detailed manner, which certainly arouses a great deal of concern. In light of this, some people believe there should be restrictions on such information. From my perspective, I agree that censorship should be imposed on the descriptions of crime.
There are several reasons why the focus of newspapers and television on high-profile crimes should be more carefully regulated. The group most affected by the news media's coverage of violence and victimization is crime victims. This is because media coverage that is sometimes viewed as insensitive, voyeuristic, and uncaring can largely violate victims’ privacy and inflict their emotional and psychological suffering. Not only that, the general public seldom benefits from this exposure to crime details. In fact, these descriptions can not only cause discomfort but also arouse apprehension about the impacts on young people. Besides, it is likely that potential offenders would be instigated and incited to commit crimes, since they might regard detailed media coverage as a form of guidance.
It is undeniable that the coverage of crime cases can be helpful and, in some cases, even healing. Some would also suggest that the media have the obligation to keep the public well informed about trends in crime. Indeed, the media play a significant role in public safety by keeping citizens apprised of essential information on criminal affairs, such as new patterns of fraud, ways to assist victims and measures to prevent crime. However, the extent to which the media can cover about these cases should be censored carefully by avoiding excessively detailed descriptions, so that they can accurately cover crime stories with the least amount of trauma to the victim and negative repercussions on the public.
In conclusion, although newspapers and television need to raise the public awareness of key information on crime cases, I contend that restrictions should be imposed on excessive descriptions of details, in order to mitigate the detrimental consequences.
