雅思写作高分范文:冷门题目
Many people are optimistic about the 21st century and see it as an opportunity to make positive changes to the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with their optimism? What changes would you like to be made in the new century?
Many people are optimistic about the twenty first century and see it as an opportunity to make positive changes in the world.(注意:这句话照抄了原题,考试时这样做会被扣分的!) Given(作介词,表示“考虑到”) current trends however this optimism is certainly unwarranted. If we are to see our way safely into the twenty second century, many fundamental changes still need to be made.
The world has been changed in the twenty first century; advancements in medicine and technology have changed life and lifestyles for virtually all of the peoples of the world. Not only have these advancements brought society forward, it has brought society onto the cusp of a new era(新纪元的开始), the entire direction of human development is now changing from that of single nations eking out an existence(很好的短语,表示“勉强维持生活”)in some corner of the world, to the people of the world drawing together(团结起来) to take on projects and research that could never be accomplished in isolation.
These changes however, have not all been positive. The environmental impact of industrialization has changed the face of the world as well, polluting oceans and rivers, stripping (剥夺)the world of some of its oldest and most verdant forests (绿色森林)darkening the sky with air pollution, poking holes in the protective ozone layer, and leading to the development of radioactive poisons(放射型毒物) capable of poisoning the earth and continuing to poison it for millions of years to come. Meanwhile, man is beset by(被困扰) problems of overpopulation and pollution. Like vermin, man is being overcome by his own filth and inability to stop reproducing.
Man’s development in the last century has been massive, but in both directions, both forward and backward. This combination of development and destruction seems to be the basic nature of man, but if we are to survive, we must realize that progress, at the cost of ourselves is not only unacceptable but the path to destruction.
雅思技巧:雅思好作文的标准如何定义
写好作文有三个标准,分别为统一性、完整性,连贯性,下面,我们就来对这三个标准做一详细说明。
首先,一个段落必须有一个中心即主题思想,该中心由主题句特别是其中的题旨来表达。整个段落必须紧扣这个主题(stick or hold to the topic),这就是段落的统一性(unity)。其次,一个段落必须有若干推展句,使主题思想得到充分展开,从而给读者一个完整的感觉,这就是完整性(completeness or adequateness)。再者,一个段落不是杂乱无章的,而是有机的组合,句子的排列顺序必须合乎逻辑,从一个句子到另一个句子的过渡必须流畅(smooth),这就是连贯性(coherence)。
1. 统一性
一个段落内的各个句子必须从属于一个中心,任何游离于中心思想之外的句子都是不可取的。请看下例:
Joe and I decided to take the long trip we'd always wanted across the country. We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie. We started out in early spring from Minneapolis and headed west across the northern part of the country. We both enjoyed those people we met at the trailer park. Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico.
本段的主题句是段首句,controlling idea(中心思想)是take the long trip across the country。文中出现两个irrelevant sentences,一个是Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie,这 一段是讲的是Joe and I ,中间出现一个Bella是不合适的。还有,Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner这一句更是与主题句不相关。考生在四级统考的作文卷上常常因为造出 irrelevant sentences(不相关语句)而丢分,值得引起注意。再看一个例子:
My name is Roseanna, and I like to keep physically fit. I used to weigh two hundred pounds, but I joined the YMCA for an exercise class and diet program. In one year I lost eighty pounds. I feel much better and never want to have that much weight on my five-feet frame again. I bought two new suitcases last week. Everyday I practice jogging three miles, swimming fifteen laps, lifting twenty-pound weights and playing tennis for one hour. My mother was a premature baby.
本段的controlling idea 是like to deep physically fit,但段中有两个irrelevant sentences,一个是I bought two new suitcases last week,另一个是My mother was a premature baby。
从上面两个例子可以看出,native speakers同样会造出来irrelevant sentences。卷面上如果这种句子多了,造成偏题或离题,那问题就更严重了。
2. 完整性
正象我们前面说得那样,一个段落的主题思想靠推展句来实现,如果只有主题句而没有推展句来进一步交待和充实,就不能构成一个完整的段落。同样,虽然有推展句,但主题思想没有得到相对圆满的交待,给读者一种意犹未尽的感觉。这样的段落也不能完成其交际功能。例如:
Physical work can be a useful form of therapy for a mind in turmoil. Work concentrates your thoughts on a concrete task. Besides, it is more useful to work ---- you produce something rather than more anxiety or depression.
本段的主题句是段首句。本段的两个推展句均不能回答主题句中提出的问题。什么是 "a mind in turmoil"(心境不平静)Physical work又如何能改变这种情况?为什么它能起therapy的作用?读者得不到明确的答案。
段首句所表达的主题思想是一种看法,必须有具体事例加以验证。上述两个推展句只是在文字上对主题作些解释,整个段落内容空洞,简而不明。如果用一两个具体的例子的话,就可以把主题解释清楚了。比如下段:
It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, pictures are pretty useless things. If you can't swim and fall in the river and start gulping water, will you be better off to hold up a picture of yourself drowning, or start screaming "Help"?
3.连贯性(coherence)
连贯性包括意连和形连两个方面,前者指的是内在的逻辑性,后者指的是使用转换词语。当然这两者常常是不可分割的。只有形连而没有意连,句子之间就没有内在的有机的联系;反之,只有意连而没 有形连,有时行文就不够流畅。
1) 意连
段落中句子的排列应遵循一定的次序,不能想到什么就写什么。如果在下笔之前没有构思,边写边想,写写停停,那就写不出一气呵成的好文章来。下面介绍几种常见的排列方式。
A.按时间先后排列(chronological arrangement)
We had a number of close calls that day. When we rose, it was obviously late and we had to hurry so as not to miss breakfast; we knew the dining room staff was strict about closing at nine o'clock. Then, when we had been driving in the desert for nearly two hours ----- it must have been close to noon ---- the heat nearly hid us in; the radiator boiled over and we had to use most of our drinking water to cool it down. By the time we reached the mountain, it was four o'clock and we were exhausted. Here, judgement ran out of us and we started the tough climb to the summit, not realizing that darkness came suddenly in the desert. Sure enough, by six we were struggling and Andrew very nearly went down a steep cliff, dragging Mohammed and me along with him. By nine, when the wind howled across the flat ledge of the summit, we knew as we shivered together for warmth that it had not been our lucky day.
本段从 "rose"(起床)写起,然后是吃早餐("not to miss breakfast", "closing at nine o'clock"),然后是 "close to noon",一直写到这一天结束("By nine--")。
B. 按位置远近排列(spatial arrangement)。例如:
From a distance, it looked like a skinny tube, but as we got closer, we could see it flesh out before our eyes. It was tubular, all right, but fatter than we could see from far away. Furthermore, we were also astonished to notice that the building was really in two parts: a pagoda sitting on top of a tubular one-story structure. Standing ten feet away, we could marvel at how much of the pagoda was made up of glass windows. Almost everything under the wonderful Chinese roof was made of glass, unlike the tube that it was sitting on, which only had four. Inside, the tube was gloomy, because of the lack of light. Then a steep, narrow staircase took us up inside the pagoda and the light changed dramatically. All those windows let in a flood of sunshine and we could see out for miles across the flat land.
本段的写法是由远及近,从远处("from a distance")写起,然后"get closer",再到(" ten feet away"),最后是 "inside the pagoda"……当然,按位置远近来写不等于都是由远及 近。根据需要,也可以由近及远,由表及里等等。
C. 按逻辑关系排列(logical arrangement)
a. 按重要性顺序排列(arrangement in order of importance)
If you work as a soda jerker, you will, of course, not need much skill in expressing yourself to be effective. If you work on a machine, your ability to express yourself will be of little importance. But as soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken or the written word. And the further away your job is from manual work, the larger the organization of which you are an employee, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts in writing or speaking. In the very large business organization, whether it is the government, the large corporation, or the Army, this ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of all the skills a man can possess.
这一段谈的是表达能力,它的重要性与职业,身份有关,从"not need much skill"或 "of little importance"到 "more important",最后是 "most important"。
b.由一般到特殊排列(general-to-specific arrangement)
If a reader is lost, it is generally because the writer has not been careful enough to keep him on the path. This carelessness can take any number of forms. Perhaps a sentence is so excess.
雅思技巧:雅思写作细节把握很重要
词
学习英语没有捷径可走,从最简单的单词开始,对学生来说,雅思写作词汇量越大越好,特别是在写作中要表达同样或相似意思的时候,如果能够做到多变而不重复,那肯定会给阅卷者留下深刻的印象。在背和记的过程中,语感会自然而然地增强,其潜移默化的效果在短期内效果并不明显,但坚持两三个月你就会感到,原来英语也不是那么爱和自己过不去。之后是多写作多练习,把自己在课堂上的东西要先掌握,然后再尽量在平时的文章中使用出来,这样才是真正的属于自己的东西。
句
据观察发现,在写作的句型方面,一直以来都存在一个误区,就是很多考生认为句型越复杂越长越能体现自己的水平。其实不然,抛开写又长又复杂的句子容易出错不说,单是从语言的流畅性和阅卷者思路的延续性来看,这样的表达很可能不但不能给文章加分,反而会弄巧成拙,由于逻辑关系过多而被扣分。其实,句子的多样性取决于句子类型的丰富性,一篇文章能够熟练使用不同的句型。换句话说,它考察的是考生能否像当地居民一样写出地道的句子。既考察考生简单句和复杂句的综合运用能力,还考察考生对不同的句型的掌握情况。
除去以上两点之外,还需要注意的就是细节问题:
标点
要合理的利用标点符号,严格按照英文书写格式进行答卷。
大小写
句首单词字母大小写问题,虽然说起来很简单,但也是很多学生容易忽视的问题。在句号、叹号、问号后面的单词需要大些,这谁都清楚,但也要注意冒号、破折号、括号后面,并不是一个独立的新句子,所以首字母仍然要小写的。
分段
学生在雅思写作培训班中,相信老师都会有提醒到学生写作的分段要求。不止是雅思写作,其实在我们从刚开始的英语写作练习中,就已经有分段要求的提出。当你拿着一篇只有一段的很长的文章时,是不是会有很晕的感觉?或者说,当你看的文章分成很多的段落,而你的论证能力有限,费了半天劲也写不出几个句子,会不会每段都给人以流水账的感觉呢?所以,对于写作,想用写作形式来掩盖内容的不足,又能给阅卷者留下好的印象,那么请把Task1段落划分控制在3-5段,Task2控制在4-6段。这样既能让段落分配清晰,又可避免论证过多太分散中心思想。
合理分配考试时间
雅思写作考试共1小时时间,大小作文分别控制为40和20分钟相对较合理。也可根据自身情况进行调整。复习时,如果时间充裕,可先把多数精力放在大作文上,而如果离考前只有1、2星期,则要侧重小作文练习。短时间内小作文比大作文拿分要容易的多。
总而言之,雅思写作词汇是雅思写作的细节要求也是基础要求。学生即使进行雅思写作培训班的报考,也依然逃脱不了词汇的记忆和背诵。因为,它的存在是学生进行细节写作锻炼的门槛,只有加固词汇,才能将门槛顺利的跨越过去。
雅思技巧:雅思写作不要抄袭模板原文
雅思作文要不要抄袭范文?“天下文章一大抄。”其实,任何英文学习(广泛地说,任何的语言学习)都需要模仿,也就是“抄袭”。英文从简单的抄起,直抄到深奥的。只有不断地模仿,“抄袭”,才可以熟能生巧,在考场上写出灵活多变的句子来。很多考生道听途说国内考官的手里都有一些中国人编的所谓雅思写作权威书籍,因此照抄书上的作文无甚用处,会被扣分。这种推断非常荒谬,原因有三:
首先,很多所谓的权威书籍并非权威,里面的八分范文并非八分。笔者曾拿过国内一本“赫赫有名”的书给国外的老师看。他们看后纷纷摇头,说不知所云。这种文章尚且可以蒙骗语言经验尚浅的学生,却不可以蒙骗考官。学生即使背得滚瓜烂熟,也不过是背一篇不及格的文章而已。再说,目前中国人写的文章极少有考官愿意多看一眼的,更别说会够到被人珍藏的级别。分类总结雅思写作题目对于大家的雅思写作学习还是很有帮助的。
其次,即使范文够上了级别,学生是不是完全背下来了,背得恰当与否又是不得而知。有的学生背了片言只语,然后融合自己写的一堆病句错句,分数不理想就开始怀疑考官是否打击模仿范文的考生。又或者,考生死记硬背,看到题目类似就誉写上去,而没有考虑到题目修改所带来的变化(本书会具体解释),试问一篇文不对题的文章怎样得六分?
再者,重申一句,语言都是模仿而来,包括考官本人的英文知识也是日积月累地模仿而来。对一件事情的描述其实大同小异,因此如果描述得当,文字上有雷同并不奇怪。考官不会期待着你对一件事物有前无古人,后无来者的叙述;反之,他只会接受外国人所遵循的一种普通的,常见的叙述方法。
换言之,如果你的描写接近英文的一般模式,你就会得高分。再简单一点说,你抄得越象,越容易得高分。永远记住一句话:所有的考试都是将合格的学生考出来,而不是将不合格的考生考出去。
