不管考生的备考基础如何,考生要弄懂雅思写作套句与模板到底可不可以用,这样在写作中才能写出更加优秀的作文来。下面,就让我们一起来了解一下吧。
所谓的“套句”和“模板”在雅思写作当中是否有用一直以来是一个有争议的问题。翻看当时出版的各种雅思写作参考书,几乎范文里都或多或少有类似"Today, the issue that...... has aroused great controversy in the modern society. While some people believe that ......, this view, nevertheless, is counterargued by some other people who firmly stand by the viewpoint that....... In my opinion, both viewpoints have their merits and in this article, I would like to exploit the issue with the following aspects."这样的“经典套句”。
然而事实上适用这样的模板却不是总是取得很好的效果,有的考生分数考的高,有的考生分数考的低。
看以下模板:
(以问句的形式复述核心问题)+ The traditional theory/average people hold(s) that (观点1=你所反对的观点) + Nevertheless, combined with my experience and some scientific evidence (the viewpoint of some researchers/experts), we could draw a totally different conclusion that + (观点2=你支持的观点)
再如:这样的一个Topic:
Some people believe that it is more important for buildings to serve its practical purpose than to look beautiful. So architects need not worry about constructing buildings as works of art. However, some others hold the opposite opinion. Discuss both viewpoints and give your own opinion. (2005年12月17日)
貌似就可以用“模板”在两分钟内写出以下开头:
Is it more important for a building to look beautiful just like a work of art or simply to serve its purpose as a place for living? Average people may hold that a building’s practical purpose carries more weight than its appearance . Nevertheless, combined with my experience and the viewpoints of some experts, we could draw a totally different conclusion that it is the beautiful appearance of a building that plays a more significant role.
看上去很不错是不是?但问题是,如果它真的那么好的话,为什么还是有考生用了此模板之后分数还是5分呢?
其实,用模板就好比一个上身穿Armani西装的人下半身就穿着一条山寨版的Arnani短裤一样,是和一个考生的整体语言水平不协调的,因此在实际使用过程中,往往会适得其反,即本来不用模板还能得一个6分的,用了模板以后反而只能拿个5分。
那么,关于模板和套句在雅思考试里到底是可以使用还是不可以使用呢?
一个外国朋友给出的回答可以用一个词概括:Relevance(相关性)。Yes, it's all about relevance. 也就是说套句也好模板也好,的确“有时候可以用有时候不能用”,关键取决于你用的是否切题。很多低分雅思考生的问题正是在于他们手里都有一套模板,但他们不知道哪些题目里这个模板是能用的,哪些是不能用的。比如一道雅思考试(2009.4.18)作文题目:
Some people believe that if products are of good quality or meet people’s needs, people will buy them naturally. So advertisements are not necessary and no more than a form of entertainment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
如果有人写:Today, the issue that advertisements are not important and only a kind of entertainment has aroused great controversy......那么这个考生马上就会被严重扣分,因为issue是指“有争议的问题”,而这个topic中提到的“广告不是不可或缺的而只是一种娱乐”纯粹是部分人的personal opinion,并不是issue,因此这里盲目照搬套句模板就一定会被扣分。而如果像这道作文考题:
Some people believe that rich countries provide poorer countries with other types of help rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (政府决策类)
如果用刚才的模板来写开头 : Today, the issue whether rich countries ought to provide poorer countries with other types of help instead of financial aid has aroused great controversy......按照外国朋友的说法就完全没有问题,因为rich countries到底应该向poorer countries提供怎么样的援助本来就是属于有争议的问题,的确是issue没错。
综上所述,其实套句或者模板在雅思写作中还是可以用的-当然是在你能够确保正确使用的前提之下。因为毕竟模板套句之类的还是比较适合英语写作基础比较薄弱的考生,大多数水平中等或以上的考生完全有能力不需要借助模板就能够拿到6分或6分以上的成绩。或者这样说可能更清楚:使用模板的前提是考生能正确识别哪些题目能用模板,用什么模板。而基础较差的考生往往做不到这一点所以模板不适合他们。而能够做到这一点的考生基本上英语实力已经达到一定的高度,完全可以靠自己的能力独立写出一篇得分在6分以上的雅思作文,所以也不需要模板。
因此,我们可以确定模板套句对大多数考生基本无用,除非你是这样一个考生:英语基础较差,自己无法独立写出完整正确的段落,手里握有好几套模板而且对于各种不同的topics适合用哪一种具体的模板都有正确的认识并能相应地准确使用,不过这好像是不切实际的。所以考生要学会如何使用为好,否则必然会事与愿违。
