雅思写作高分的取得并非易事,写作技巧是相当重要的,而很多考生都喜欢使用模板,认为有了模板就一定能拿高分,其实不然,如果使用错误,很容易game over的。如何淡化雅思写作模板是考生必须要认真思考的问题。
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。
那么,考生该如何才能把模板变成自己的东西呢?
一、分析
真题链接:
In some countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
以上是剑桥中的考试真题,相信大家都已经非常熟悉了。我们就一起结合此题,对双边结构的整体文章结构和遣词造句做一个简单的对比。
1. 引言段
引言段是通篇作文的开篇之作,对于它的写法多种多样。但是无论怎样书写,切忌出现以下模式性的语句样式:
模板语言:
Nowadays, the discussion about …is a very controversial one. Those who criticize…. argue that…, but people who advocate…, on the other hand, maintain that…
这样的模板相信大家不会陌生,它曾经受到无数考生的青睐。但是我们说过,这样过于机械的语言,很难体现出考生对考题文字的理解,更为糟糕的是,你的开头有可能和无数人是重复的!
下面我们就做一个简单的对比:
非模板语言:
No matter in which country, children are, without any exception, regarded as the protected in society, not to mention making them involved in any forms of paid-work(调用背景知识,引出话题).The necessity of allowing them to make money with theirown hands is indeed worth discussing (结合对考题文字的统一转换,自然流露双边讨论倾向)
2. 主体段
模板语言:
1. The benefits of…… can be perceived in many aspects.
In the first place, 分论点一. For instance, 例证 / 语言论证。In the second place, 分论点二. 论证.
2. However, ……has also given rise to a lot of problems.
For one thing,……For another……, Finally,……
在传统的模板里,双边结构的主体段只是简单地分段论证两方面的观点,虽然将两种对立观点展现的非常清晰,但是也难免落入模式化的俗套。
做一个简单的对比:
非模板语言:
a. 让步分析
Admittedly, hardship and bitterness of life could drive people to become mature. Under working pressure, children think about finishing their tasks before the deadline instead of concerning how to kill their seemingly limitless free time. Work may be the only priority of their life. It is fairly different between taking a dollar from their parents and earning one by themselves. Onlythe tough reality can force them to get rid of selfishness and dependence on their parents, which is exactly one of the most urgently needed cures inparental education.
双边结构的一个重要特点就是双边论证两种观点,在这篇文章里可以先让步论证一个观点,这样可以为后一个观点的论证提供很好的对比。
b. 转折过渡+提出观点
However, everything is mixed blessing. Employing children to work should beviewed as a harsh treatment and abuse to them. Kids, after all, unlike adults,are immature both physically and psychologically. They are extremely vulnerable to both occupational hazards and social evils. More importantly, children are atthe golden age for learning not only due to their brain structure but also their curiosity and desire for knowledge. It goes without saying that the silly action permitting children to work for financial reasons is ridiculous.
双边结构的第二段要论述对立面的观点,但是不同于上一段的是,此段不仅要充分的客观陈述一种观点同时还要带有观点倾向,因为要完成文章的第二个任务---提出自己的观点。这样的观点提法比较自然,不需要另起一段提出而显得比较呆板。
3. 结尾段
模板语言:
In the final analysis, I concede that to some extent whether the ultimate effect of phenomena is good or not, one thing is certain that phenomenon initself is neither good nor bad. And it is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society. I am convinced that___________.
做一个简单的对比:
非模板语言:
In conclusion, although there lies various excuses for letting the young children work for salary, it is pointless that this way could benefit them in terms of accumulating work experience and learning the meaning of responsibility. (自然流露观点倾向)
作为双边结构作文的结尾,需要总结全文,即主体段两段的大意,同时要结合题目本身的特点提出鲜明的个人观点。
二、总结
不要盲目追求所谓模板,要注重灵活度。中国考生写作得分低,除了语法这个大问题以外,其实一味背诵模板甚至随处套用所谓“万能模板”是丢分的一大原因。写作的最高境界就是把各种连接化于无形,实现语义的自然衔接。考生必须根据考题的要求,调用自己原有的语言配上正确的语法,使作文具有鲜明的个人特色,侃侃而谈。在考场中,拉近与考官的距离而不是设置一道冷冰冰的“模板墙”。
