本文百利天下小编为大家介绍4个提高雅思写作分数的有效方法(上),写作分数的提高没有想象中的那么容易,还希望考生能够多多参考本文内容,相信大家一定会从中有所收获的。
Many students are learning English, because they want to study in an English speaking university (for example in the UK or the USA), or because they want to move to one of these countries to work.
许多学生都在学习英语,因为他们想去一个以英语授课的大学学习(比如英国或美国的学校),或者是因为他们想要移民到那些国家去工作。
For these students, the only way to achieve this goal is with an IELTS score of 6.5, 7 or even 7.5, depending on the course they want to study. A lot of people manage to get IELTS 5.5 or 6, but then get stuck. No matter how much they try they cannot seem to get a better score. The jump from there to IELTS 6.5 or 7 seems impossible. They take the test again and again, spending a lot of money on the way, but rarely improving their result.
对于这些学生,要达到这一目标的唯一途径就是雅思成绩要达到6.5、7,甚至7.5,这个分数取决于他们想要学习的专业。很多人的雅思成绩能到5.5或6,但随后会卡在这个区间。无论他们多么努力,他们似乎无法得到一个更好的成绩。从这一区间飞跃到6.5或7似乎是不可能的任务。他们一次又一次地参加考试,在路上花了大把的钱,却很少有人能提高自己的成绩。
If this sounds like your problem, then you need to think why am I not improving? Doing a lot of practice tests and taking IELTS exams will give you a lot of exam practice, but will not help you get a higher score. You need a new strategy to improve your writing!
如果这听起来也是你的问题,那么就需要好好思考为什么我的成绩不能提高?做了很多的大量的练习,参加雅思考试会给你很多的实战经验,但不会帮助你得到更高的分数。你需要一个新的策略,来提高你的写作!
So, here are my tips to help you improve your writing in Part 2 of the IELTS test for both general and academic modules.
所以,下面是我的方法,这些可以帮助你提高雅思考试中的第二部分的写作成绩,无论是移民类还是学术类。
Step 1. Are you answering the question?
第1步,你的回答是否切题?
This might sound like a silly question, but a lot of candidates in the IELTS test do not answer the question properly. The first criterion that the examiner is looking at is ‘Task Achievement’. This means ‘Did this student answer the question correctly and fully?’ You need to understand what the question is asking you to do before you start writing. There are several types of question, and you must be able to understand all of them. Just writing in general about the topic of the question will lose you marks, if you don’t do what the question asks.
这听起来像是一个愚蠢的问题,但很多考生在雅思考试中都回答都没有切中主题。考官的第一个标准是“任务完成”情况。这指的是这个学生是否正确,全面地回答了问题?在开始写作之前,你需要搞明白题干中的问题是什么。这儿有几种类型的问题,你必须能够全部理解。如果你没有答全题干中的问题,只是对其所述的话题回答个大概,你就会失分。
Here are some examples of the common types of question:
这里举例了一些常见类型的问题:
i) The ‘To what extent do you agree?’ question.
一)“你在多大程度上同意?”类问题。
Here you are given a point of view or an opinion and are asked how much you agree with it. Be careful! There might be 2 opinions, so you will have to give your opinion on both of them. An example might be:
题目给出了一种观点或者一个意见,并问你在多大程度上同意这种观点。当心!题目可能给了两种看法,所以你必须就这两方面给出你的观点。请看下例:
Globalisation allows trade and the spread of technology between countries, but it also means that national traditions and customs are lost forever. To what extent do you agree with the above?
全球化方便了各国间的贸易往来和技术的传播,但它也意味着国家的传统和习俗将永远丢失。你从多大程度上同意上述看法?
It is tempting to answer this question by listing all the advantages and disadvantages to globalisation. If you did this, you would not be answering the question, and so would lose marks in Task Achievement. You must say how much you agree with the statement. You can completely agree or disagree, or you might agree with part of it but disagree with the other part. However, you must give your opinion and reasons for it.
在回答这个问题时我们很容易去列出全球化所有的优点和缺点。如果你这样做了,那么你的回答就没有切题,因此在任务完成这个标准上你将会失分。你必须说出你在多大程度上认同这一说法。你可以完全同意或不同意,或者你只是同意它的一部分,但不同意其他部分内容。但是,你必须给出你的意见和相应的理由。
ii) The ‘problem solution’ or discussion question.
二)“问题解决”,或问题讨论类。
In this type of question you are given a problem. You might be asked to say what the causes are, and to suggest some solutions. For example:
在这种类型的题目中,题干会给出一个问题。你可能会被问到这个问题产生的原因,并提出一些解决方案。例如:
Pollution in cities is an increasing problem today. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?
如今,城市污染是一个日益严重的问题。你认为造成这一现象的原因是什么?你能提出什么样的解决方案?
There are 2 parts to this question – causes and solutions. You must write about both. The language that you will need in this type of question is quite specific. To state causes you can say:
这个问题由2个部分组成---原因和解决方法。你必须回答这两方面内容。回答这一类型问题的语言是特定的。比如,为了阐明原因你可以说:
“causes…”, “is caused by…”, “results in”, “is the result of”
“原因是.....”,“由......造成的”,“结果是”,“是.....的结果”
Solutions can be made using:
解决方案的回答可以用以下例句:
“the government/people should…”, “if people did X, then....”, “By doing X, we could/could…”
“政府/人们应该......”,“如果有人做了X,那么......”,“通过X,我们会/可以.....”
iii) The argument question
三)论证类问题
With this question you are given a statement with maybe 2 sides, and asked to give your opinion on it. That is, you should say which side is the best, or to state the advantages and disadvantages. It is good advice to make your argument balanced. This means you need to look at both sides of the problem and discuss them equally. You can give your opinion at the end, or make it clear in each paragraph. An example of this kind of question is:
在这一类问题中,题目会给出一个陈述,可能涉及两个方面,并要求你对此给出意见。这就是说,你应该说出哪一方是最好的,或者陈述其优点和缺点。有一个比较好建议是你的论点要保持正反两方面平衡。这意味着你需要思考问题的正反两面,并不偏不倚地讨论每一方面。你可以在文章最后给出意见,或者在每个段落给出意见,条理更清晰。这类问题的一个例子是:
Nowadays, many students decide to go abroad to study in a foreign university. While there are a lot of benefits in doing this, there are also some drawbacks. What are the main advantages and disadvantages to studying abroad?
如今,很多学生决定出国学习。虽然这样做有很多的好处,但也有一些缺点。那么出国留学主要的优点和缺点有哪些?
You could answer this question by listing a few advantages to studying abroad, and then listing the disadvantages in the next paragraph. This is fine, but what about mixing them up? Start with an advantage followed by a related disadvantage in the same paragraph. For example:
回答这种问题你可以先列出一些出国留学的优势,再在下一段回答劣势。这种做法是可取的,但如何把优缺点结合起来写?可以先扬后抑,在同一段落中先肯定优点,紧接着列明不足之处。例如:
“One advantage to going to a foreign country to study is that the student will learn a new language. [...] However, it takes a great deal of time and money to get your language level up to the required standard…”
“出国留学的一大优点是学生将学会一门新的语言。 [...]然而,这需要大量的时间和金钱,你的语言水平才能达到一定的标准。"
This organisation produces a much more interesting essay. Spare a thought for the poor examiner who has to read hundreds of essays on the same topic. Give him/her a different, more interesting essay structure, and you just might score a few more marks.
这样的结构可以创作出一篇更有趣的文章,想想那些可怜的考官,要阅读千篇一律的文章,给他一个与众不同的、更有趣的文章结构,没准你就能拿到更多一点的分数。
Once you have understood the question, you must make your position on the question clear, and present developed and extended ideas. Give reasons for your answers, and use examples to help explain what you mean and to extend your ideas. Every question tells you to support your answer with examples and relevant evidence, but students often forget to do this. This leads us nicely onto the next step.
一旦你理解了问题,你对于这个问题的立场就要明确,并陈述完整的、可扩展的想法。给出你答案的理由,用实例来帮助解释你的意思,并延伸你的想法。每一个问题,都要求用实例和相关证据来支持你的答案,但学生往往忘记这样做。接下来让我们继续看下一步:
Step 2. Does your essay make sense?
第2步:你的文章是否说得通?
The next criterion the examiner uses when marking your essay is ‘Coherence and Cohesion’. What, I can hear you say, do they mean?
评分时,考官采用的第二个标准是“连贯与衔接”。嗯,我可以听到你们在问这是什么意思?
‘Coherence’ is about how logical your essay is. Have you used paragraphs? Is there a progression from one paragraph to the next? Is the information in the paragraphs arranged logically? Each paragraph should have a topic sentence that introduces the topic of the paragraph. The other sentences must logically develop that subject and should not introduce another topic.
“连贯性”与文章的逻辑有关。你是否使用了段落?从一个段落到下一个段落有没有用连接词?各个段落的安排逻辑是否通顺?每个段落应该有一个中心句介绍该段的主题。其他的句子必须在逻辑上围绕着这个主题,不能引入其他话题。
'Cohesion' is like the glue that sticks your sentences together. There should be a flow from one sentence to the next so you need to use some cohesive devices like ‘however’, 'in addition', 'because', 'as a result’, etc. However, be careful of overusing cohesive devices. If you use too many, it will seem unnatural. Another thing the examiner is looking for is referencing words. These are words which you use to refer back (or forwards) to other words. Here are two examples:
“衔接”就像胶水将你的句子粘在一起。从一个句子到另一个句子,应该要有承上启下的连接词,所以你需要使用过渡词如“however但是”,“in addition此外”,“because因为”,“as a result结果是”等等。但是,注意不要过度使用连接词。如果你用的太多,文章会显得不自然。考官关注的另一点是参考词,就是你用来指代前面所说的一些词,这里有两个例子:
i) While it has many clear benefits, it is obvious that globalisation also brings problems.
i) ,虽然它有很多显而易见的好处,很值得注意的是全球化也带来了问题。
Here ‘it’ refers forwards to ‘globalisation’.
在这里,“它”指的是 “全球化”。
ii) One of the advantages to studying abroad is mastering a new language. This skill will be of great benefit to the student for the rest of their life both in work and outside.
II)出国留学的优点之一是能掌握一门新语言。这个技能对学生今后的生活来说是大有裨益的,无论是在工作上还是生活中。
‘This skill’ refers back to ‘mastering a new language’.
“这个技能”是指前面所说的“掌握一门新的语言”。
We’re half way there now. The next 2 steps are the ones you probably think most about when doing an essay. They are just as important as the steps above.
现在,我们已经说了一半了。接下来的两个步骤可能是你在写作时思考的最多的方面。它们与上述的其他步骤一样重要。(接下文)
因此,考生要仔细地研究每个写作标准,看看你还能在哪几个方面取得进步。希望通过这4个提高雅思写作分数的有效方法(上)能够帮助考生提升雅思写作能力,最终取得满意的雅思成绩。
