The two charts give information about single-occupant households in England in the year 2011. The bar chart compares figures for occupants age and gender, and the pie chart shows data about the number of bedrooms in these homes.

Overall, females made up a higher proportion of people living alone than males, and this difference is particularly noticeable in the older age categories. We can also see that the most common number of bedrooms in a single-occupant home was two.

A significant majority of the people aged 65 or over who were living alone in England in 2011 were female. Women made up around 72% of single occupants aged 75 to 84, and 76% of those aged 85 or over. By contrast, among younger adults the figures for males were higher. For example, in the 35-49 age category, men accounted for nearly 65% of people living alone.

In the same year, 35.4% of one-person households in England had two bedrooms, while one-bedroom and three-bedroom homes accounted for 28% and 29.8% of the total. Under 7% of single-occupant homes had four or more bedrooms.

假设你的文章字数是400字,那么你大概要写40~50个句子。把这40~50个句子,排成编号,从第1个到第40个,也就是从文章的第一句话到最后一句话,你都知道要写什么,并且知道怎么写,甚至每个句子你都掌握了2~3个漂亮的句式,这样你还担心自己拿不到高分吗?再假设,这40~50个句子,你有50%都已经是固定句式了,也就是成了自己的写作套路,那么你还愁文章写不完么?比如说,我总是喜欢在文章最后一句 话 说 :In a word, it is rather superficial to simply say that……+观点,给个真题例子:In a word, it is rather superficial to simply say that parents are the best teachers。用一句话说,简单地认为父母是最好的老师是相当肤浅的。大家想一想,任何事情simply say都可以说是相当肤浅的。因此这句话就是一句比较万能的结束语。这句话怎么来的呢?这是官方题库里的第2篇,是我和大家在课上积累来的。只要大家一起努力,我们一定会成功提炼出自己的高分模版。

篇2:雅思大作文失分的六个基础性原因

全文共 661 字

+ 加入清单

原因1:

开头冗长,绕来绕去,不知所云,摆一堆华丽而没有实质内容的句子,然后突然写出自己的观点。

原因2:

开头和主体段的第一段混为一谈。有同学会直接写我同意观点因为一句话给出观点,然后就直接开始写第一点原因。这样的文章结构不清晰,在阅卷人眼中马上被打上结构不清的标签,如果再犯两个语法错误,那就别想翻身了。

原因3:

主体没有分段,把所有的原因糅合在一起,让读者去自己理清条理。英语和中文不一样。英语是作者责任制,中文是读者责任制。也就是说写英文,作者需要保证读者能明白自己写的是什么,如果读者不明白,那就是你作者的责任。而在中文中则正好相反,我想怎么写就怎么写,读不懂是你读者的问题。

原因4:

主体段每段中没有主题句,或者一个明显的主题意思。我经常看到有人说了一堆例子,却不明白他要这些例子说明什么。其实,只要在每个段落前加一个很简短的句子,告诉别人你在说什么,就会使文章变得很清楚。

原因5:

主体段有主题句,但是没有对主题句进行进一步解释,而是直接摆例子,这样会显得文章非常的唐突。

原因6:

文章有开头,但是在开头作者没有给出观点,而是在结尾给出观点 。对于这种写法,也有争议,讲英语的人也在争论是不是世界上所有的 人都应该按照英语的文体写。一般的结论是认为,这取决于你的读者, 如果你的读者是英语为母语的人,那么还是按照他们的习惯写为好,不 要追求什么神秘感,一定要等到最后才给出观点。对于托福雅思的作文 ,还是规矩点比较好。对于其他的文章看老师的要求,我的老师就要求 我在写某种论文的时候不要在开头给出观点,而是在结尾提出观点。

篇3:雅思写作技巧的间接表达方法

全文共 846 字

下面小编为大家整理了一篇雅思写作技巧的相关信息,是关于间接表达法的。间接表达法这种在雅思写作技巧是用在这样的情况下的:有的时候,发言者为了充分地表达自己的观点,或者为了使自己的观点显得不偏激,会很委婉地表述观点。下面我们一起来看看。

间接表述观点

比如:

Well, I dont think you should start with the case study too early unless you have made full preparation or you might find you cant meet the deadline. However, it really is the best approach you can try to get peoples response though it is somewhat time-consuming. If you think you can spare your study time, just go for it.

第一句话出现dont think,转折词However引出了意思上大的转变,这里的it really is the best approach就是很大的一个转折,说明持支持的态度的。此外,最后一句话是总结性的观点,一句just go for it非常清楚地再次表示其支持观点。

间接观点表达:

Through observation study, you can just watch and take notes. And you can get some unforeseeable results from peoples behavior, but it can only cover certain aspects. Therefore, you need other research method to assist it. But you can try if you want.中立

雅思考试中,写作部分要求考生在60分钟内完成两篇作文。第一篇是小作文,要求考生描述图表反映的内容和问题,字数为150个词以上:第二篇是大作文,要求考生根据题目要求写一篇议论文,字数为250个词以上。写作单项的满分为9分,采取半分制:写作部分的总分是小作文分数的1/3加上大作文分数的2/3。由于分值权重方面的原因,很多考生都高度重视大作文,却忽视了小作文的重要性。这主要表现为两种情况:一是考生平时很少练习小作文,导致其在20分钟内无法完成小作文,从而挤占了大作文的写作时间:二是由于比较看重大作文,一部分考生在考试的时候会选择先写大作文,并因过于谨慎仔细而占用了很多时间,最终导致没有时间完成小作文。这两种情况都会导致考生的写作成绩被拖后腿。

根据写作部分的计分权重来算,对于写作分数目标是5.5分的考生,一般来说有以下两种方案可选:

方案A:小作文5分,大作文6分,写作成绩=5.5分:方案B:小作文6分,大作文5分,写作成绩=5.5分。这两个方案殊途同归,但是因为大作文比小作文难拿到高分,因而方案B比较容易实现。这就意味着,写作分数目标是5.5分的考生应重点提高小作文的写作水平。

People attend college or university for many different reasons. Why do you think people attend college or university?

People attend colleges or universities for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.

Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.

Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they have been away form home by themselves. In addition, this is the first time they have had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.

Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that does not relate to their career.

实际上,大作文的第一段是情景铺垫,建议考生在这一段要点明这篇文章要讨论/解决什么问题及问题的背景。作文的首段通常包含以下几个方面:

1)场景或背景信息,即题目中出现的phenomenon。

2)一些人的观点,这部分在改写文章首段时可要可不要,考生可按照自己的情况来安排。

3)个人观点,这一部分在有些文章的开首段中也可以不要。

大作文要求字数至少达到250字,在写作中考虑到字数的合理安排,第一段最好写3-5句话,大约40字左右,并且切忌在第一段就掏心掏肺把什么话都说完。因此专家总结出大作文开首方式通常有以下几种情况:

1)题目中包含了背景信息,有时也出现一些人的观点,并且题目中字数较多。这种情况下最保险的办法是将题目中的背景信息及一些人的观点重新表达,可以做:

●主动语态被动语态

●主谓宾主系表

●某些近义词互换

Example:

At present, it is hard for college students to find jobs. Many people claim that college teachers should give priority to practical courses like computer science and business over such traditional ones as history and geography. To what extent do you agree?

篇8:2024雅思小作文流程图的写作方法

全文共 1544 字

+ 加入清单

雅思写作考试中的Task1小作文有三种题型:图表,流程图和地图。考生们备考时多把注意力放在图表题,对后两类题目准备不足甚至无准备,一旦真遇到了流程图和地图,往往束手无策,凭自己的直觉应付写一下,凑够字数交差。流程图和地图题的写作是有一定的方法的,按照方法来写,其实并不难,小编在本文中,先来探讨流程图作文的写作。

题目给出的是流程图,就是以图示的方法把一个过程或流程清楚地显示了出来,现在要求考生做的是把该流程图还原成说明文。由此可见,我们实际上要做的就是看图作文。而大家都知道,看图作文是我们在小学最初学写作文时的入门做法。照着图来写,省却了要自己想象和构思的过程,这自然比起写议论文的挑战度要低一些。所以,大家应该更有信心去对付流程图作文,毕竟实际上所做的是“看图作文”。

流程图写作基本原则

流程图作文是以对流程的描述为主的。全文的安排通常分为两个主要部分:引言段和主体部分。引言段是用来作简介的,介绍该流程图表示了一个什么什么的过程,常用的句型为主语+谓语+宾语模式。然后视情况可以多加一句说整个过程可以分为若干个阶段。引言段只需一段,通常就是这么一二句话。

主体部分是文章的核心部分,主要是说明该流程,所以是说明文式的行文。主体部分可依照整个流程分成几个阶段而大体相应地分为几个自然段。主体部分的写作原则如下:

1. 把图看懂

这是首要前提,理解了流程图表示的是什么以及是怎样的一个过程,才谈得上用文字表达出来。能否看得懂图取决于几方面的因素:词汇量,知识面,生活经验和常识等。考生平时要有心地做一下这些方面的积累和准备。一般来说,流程图是不难看懂的。万一有些什么地方卡住了,也要大胆地合乎逻辑地去猜测,推想,判断,要灵活机敏。

2. 按图示的顺序写

流程图会表示一个过程的流向顺序。因此,不难按照图示的顺序来写。若是分成几个阶段的,就按顺序逐个阶段来描述,通常就相应地分成几个自然段落。

3. 将图所提供的词扩展(或串)成句子

流程图中会提供一些关键的说明性的词,比如步骤或环节的名称,怎样做,添加什么原料,去掉什么,输送到哪儿等等。我们就可以直接利用这些关键词写成句子,方法有两类,依照图的情况而分别采用之。如果流程图比较简短,用扩展的办法,就是以一个关键词为核心词,扩展成一个甚至两个句子,以达到字数的要求。反之,若图比较长而复杂,就采用串的办法,一句话把两个甚至三个步骤串起来,这样可以把较长的过程压缩得短一些来描述。无论用哪一种方法,都要利用流程图上所给出的词,这是图提供给我们的方便,要充分利用。在读懂图的基础上,再有这些关键词的帮助,这篇作文就不难写出来了。整篇文章字数要求是150字,图中给出的词往往就占了将近三分之一,考生要写的就只是余下的三分之二左右了。

4. 主体部分的句子多用被动语态

流程图说明文的特点是多用被动语态,主要是指主体部分对过程说明性的句子采用被动语态,这样会显得比较客观和学术性一些。

5. 注意连接词和转折词的运用

流程图说明文是按照一个流程的顺序来写的,上句和下句之间往往存在着先后次序的逻辑关系,或者意思转折的关系。因而,两句之间经常需要用到有关的连接词或转折词。考生要注重这两类词或短语的使用,而且要用得自然,合理和圆润,这样才能使全文读起来清晰流畅,一气呵成。

6. 尽量避免用词重复,做到变化,多样化

这一点其实对于所有英文写作都一样的,流程图作文当然也不例外。写作英文时要带着这个观念,善于运用同义词语。不光是同义词之间的转换使用,还要扩展到同义的词和短语,短语与句子之间的变换。养成这个习惯对写作很有益处。

当然尽量避免用词重复,并不是说绝对不可以重复,只是尽量避免。有时有些专有名词是难免重复的,但即使要重复用到,也尽可能拉远一点距离,不宜靠得太近重复。

篇9:拿什么来拯救我的雅思小作文

全文共 1593 字

+ 加入清单

地球上备考雅思的同学都知道,雅思作文分成两篇,一篇是看图表写作文(小作文),另一篇是根据话题写观点类(大作文)。写作都需要构思,我们从上学时期就开始就某观点写文章,所以大作文的构思还是比较接近我们的教育内容的。而看图写文章呢,虽然我们从小学时代就开始写这类文章,但是此图非彼图,那时的我们写的是做好事,拾金不昧啦,扶老奶奶过马路啦,都是叙事性文章,写完事件还要抒情一番。但是呢,雅思小作文要我们写的是理性描述客观数据或过程,不需要感慨性的结尾。很多同学,特别是文科出身的,就觉得大脑转换不过来了,开始害怕甚至抵触小作文,简直就要放弃小作文了。别急,只要对症下药,小作文——还是有救的。

小作文种类不少,根据图表的不同,我们把它分成线图,饼图,柱状图,表格,地图,流程图,物品比较图(出题频率非常非常低,备考时间紧张的同学可以暂时忽略)这几种。当我们面对一篇小作文时,首先要看的是它属于哪种类型的图,不同的图表题,有不同的思路和专门的词汇。以线图为例,在下笔前我们需要看横纵坐标,看数据,线的走向;专门的词汇就根据线图的特点应运而生啦,根据线的走向就会有上升(increase)、下降(decrease)、波动(fluctuate)等。(至于小作文的用词推荐《十天突破雅思写作》中的词汇,针对性非常强。)

正是因为这个原因,很多考生在写小作文时就完全把自己禁锢在这几种分类了,只要是线图就一定按线图的思路,如果是饼图就一定按饼图的百分比来写。殊不知,这样会局限自己的思路,有时候选择的写法是最难写,又不易拿分的。

因此,从大局上来说,首先我们在观察小作文图表时,应当灵活,不必拘泥于题目给出的形式。比如说,一些题目表面给出的是柱状图,但是仔细看过后,发现这些图是有上升下降变化趋势的,那么这个时候我们就按线图的思路来写。有的题目又以饼图的面目出现,一下子给出三张饼图,可是分析过这几幅图的关系,发现不同项目所占比例也是有升降变化的,那此时也可以按线图的思路来写。一句话表明,就是先观察大局,再观察数据细节。

观察图表的大局确定写作思路,那就要求我们对几种图表的思路有很好的把握。首先看一下线图的思路。

面对任何一种图表,都要先认真审题,包括图表标题,单位等,总之各种微小的单词文字都要尽收眼底,才不会出一些误差性错误。当我们拿到线图的作文,看完上述细节后,就是看本图的横纵坐标及其对应的项目和数字特点,此时要注意单位不要漏写;接下来看线段的条数及走向,这个跟我们文章的段落分配有很大关系。

其实小作文分段无所谓对错,怎么分段都可以。但是,在众多分段方法中,一定是有较优方案的。这里的分段方法仅供参考,并不是唯一的。如果图表中只有一条线段,那么除掉开头、结尾段,中间的主体段(描述具体数据的段落)既可以写一段,也可以根据图表中线段起伏特点来分成两段等。比如图表中给出的是一年中货物的销售量,前半年销售高,后半年略低,那边就可以按年份分成两段。

当遇到的图表有两条线段时,可以先考虑是否适合分两个主体段描述,如果这两条线段关联性非常强,更适合同时描述的话,也可以写成一段。

在面对有三条及以上线段的图表题时,我们就要观察这些线段是否有走向一致或相反的情况,如果有,这些一致货相反走向的线段就可以同时写。因为这样不仅清晰,而且简明易懂。

为什么单单一个线图的思路就说这么多呢?因为我们都知道小作文的字数要求是不少于150单词,而实践中呢,学生往往会出现两种情况,一是无话可说,觉得没什么可介绍的;二是滔滔不绝,下笔如有神。这两个都需要避免:情况一好解决,只要过了新手这个阶段就好,属于一个自然过度期;而情况二是需要自己有个简明的思路才能解决的。因为小作文的字数最好不要多于180字。雅思的官方要求是能简明的描述图表。在练习小作文时,要始终铭记一句话:让看不到图表的人,只读自己的文章就能在脑海中有图表的大致影像。

篇10:雅思写作基础

全文共 2609 字

+ 加入清单

小编寄语:定语从句是雅思比较熟悉也是作文中出现最多的一种语法结构,甚至有的作文中只有简单句和定语从句两种句型,但是大家都这么写或作文中出现不止三次定语从句的话,会导致句型单一。那今天我们就来说下如何变身这些定语从句。

定语从句综述:

在雅思写作这种半书面英语中,定语从句既可以修饰一个名词或部分代词,也可以修饰其前面整句话(这个时候定语从句谓语从句必须是单数哦,而且引导词必须是“,which”)。

比如:Anything which encourages language learning benefits society culturally and economically. 任何鼓励外语学习的事情有利于社会的文化和经济发展。这句话中的which 修饰不定代词anything。

再如:children spend much time watching TV,which gives rises to many health problems like obesity and poor eyesight.小孩花大量时间看电视,这样会引起很多健康问题,比如肥胖症以及视力下降。这里的which就在修饰其面整句话(children spend much time watching TV.)

改造定语从句的3大方法:

但是这样的句子在大部分的学员作文中出现的比较多,那怎么样让屌丝定语从句逆袭呢。其实有多种方法,今天我们先介绍大家容易掌握的3个方法。

1:如果定语从句修饰名词,而且定语从句的谓语动词是be动词,也就是N 关系代词BE 形式,这个时候我们可以把关系代词+be动词省略

比如:

A vast majority of people who are invited to the party are well-known scientists.

我们就可以把who are省略,改为:A vast majority of people invited to the party are well-known scientists.

这样我们就把原来普通的定语从句做定语改为了过去分词(非谓语结构的一种)做定语,而分词在书面英语中是一种常用而且比较书面的语法结构,所以建议想考6分以上的烤鸭们多多使用。

Employees who are from rural areas will confronted with many problems in major cities.(定语从句做定语)

Employees from rural areas will confronted with many problems in major cities.(介词短语做定语)

The number of students who cannot attend university is decreasing.

The number of students who are unable to have access to tertiary education is decreasing.

The number of students unable to have access to tertiary education is decreasing.(形容词短语做后置定语)

再比如:

Television which has been as one of the most fascinating inventions in the 20th century is now penetrating into every family.

Television, one of the most fascinating inventions in the 20th century, is now penetrating into every family.(同位语)

所以当作文中有多出类似的定语从句时,我们可以省略关系代词be动词或者把实意动词转化为be动词之后再省略,这样作文中就可以出现其他语法结构做定语,例如非谓语结构,介词短语,形容词短语,或同位语,而不单单是定语从句。那这样句型是不是就多样化了呢?

2:如果出现“名词关系代词实意动词”,这个时候我们可以替换为:n doing sth 形式。

比如:

Education, which helps children develop their thinking and accumulate their knowledge , is a deciding factor of ones success.

Education,helping children develop their thinking and accumulate their knowledge , is a deciding factor of ones success.

We told them they were the victims who deserved sympathy the most.

We told them they were the victims deserving sympathy the most

3:如果作文中出现了“,which”修饰其前面整句话的时候怎么改呢?

A-非谓语结构做状语: SVO, (thus)doing sth

B-概括性同位语: SVO,a/an 概括性名词that SVO

比如刚才提到的例句:

children spend much time watching TV,which gives rises to many health problems like obesity and poor eyesight.

children spend much time watching TV, giving rises to many health problems like obesity and poor eyesight.

children spend much time watching TV,a bad habit that gives rises to many health problems like obesity and poor eyesight.

篇11:雅思写作忘词时的三种换词方法

全文共 651 字

+ 加入清单

一、换用笼统词

词大体可分为两类:笼统词和具体词。笼统词的特点在于意义广泛、搭配性强。虽然它们独自不能精确表达一个动作,但在构成词组以后可替代很多具体词。写作中遇到一些具体词写不出来的时候,用笼统词取代,能收到异曲同工之妙。最常用的笼统词有 have,take等。

例:迈克经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。M ike experienced a terrible hard time.写作时,若忘记了experience可用笼统词have代替,写成M ike had a terrible hard time.同样能收到预期效果。

再看几例:Are you married?= Do you have a wife /husband?

Do you understand my meaning?=Do you take my meaning?

She will subscribeto Chi- na Today.=She will take China To- day.

二、换用同义词、反义词

遇到未曾学过的词或一时想不起的词时,可采用发散性思维,发挥想象力,尽可能想出与之有关的同义词、反义词,利用语言的内在联系、多层次、多角度地运用语言,使单词受阻现象得以解决。

例:昨晚李雷做了一场恶梦。

Li Lei had a nightmare last night.因nightmare使用率不高,不易记住。但其同义词bad dream易记。上句可换译为:Li Lei had a bad dream last night.

篇12:雅思写作的五大方法

全文共 3850 字

+ 加入清单

一直以来,雅思写作考试的大作文主体段的拓展往往是很多考生在写作中突显的最为薄弱的一个环节,其中论证过程单薄、不充分、没有力量,导致论点站不住脚是主要的原因,从而使得整篇文章留下失败的一笔。议论文,说到底,最关键的一点就是让读者对你在文章中所体现的立场认同。要做到这一点,靠的就是论点和论证。论点要合理、明确,且不要重复,要有层次;论证要做到充分,要有强大的力量把论点支撑起来,让读者心服口服,认同你的想法。作为海外考试来说,考生要做的就是让考官明确地知道你的想法,并且认同你,最终让他给你一个合理且满意的写作分数。

如何成功地完成主体段落的拓展呢?要勾画出一个充实且具有说服力的论证过程,我们当然要使用到一些论证手段,结合这些论证方法的使用,协助我们较好地完成相对来说最困难的论证过程。

一、 举例论证法

要更为直观地反映问题,举例无疑是最好的选择,也是最具有说服力的。常见的引出实例的方式:如for example, for instance, as is reported, It is reported that…, 可作为插入语的结构使用在句中。实例也可以分为几种情况,如下:

1. 应用名人实例,这是大家都知道的事情,容易引起共鸣。如在教育类话题中有一个考点涉及到中学生要不要学历史,在论证古人的经验和智慧给我们很多借鉴意义时,就可以引用一些名人的例子。

Charles Darwin, for example, taught us that only the fittest can survive, which is more than ever true in today’s competitive society.

2. 应用某些调查研究结果,常结合具体数据,更能增强真实性说服力。社会类话题老人问题上,要求分析人口老龄化所带来的影响,其中谈到积极意义时,会提到老人对家庭及社会的贡献。我们可以在两个地方找到列数据的点,一是老人的年龄,二是在有意义的事情上所花的时间,可以得出论证过程如下:

As is reported, the average time that the retired within the age group above 65 spend on the family and the community is at its length of about 5 hours per day.

3. 应用生活中具有普遍性的现象或有代表性的亲身经历。在文化这类较为抽象的话题中,有典型地要求分析文化差异会带来的不同国家人之间的冲突,可以引用这样的现象:

A western woman travelling to the Middle East may find it annoying to have to wear headscarf during a journey.

要做到恰当合适地使用实例进行论证,要求考生在平时的准备过程中,就要着重对各大话题常见的考点进行典型实例的收集,最好是比较万能的一些例子,这样就能充分利用举例子的优势,在考试中赢得高分。

二、 解释说明(拓展影响)法

中心论点表达一般比较空泛、笼统,作为论证,首先就要对空泛的意思加以具体地解释,说明原因,解释过程,阐述影响,这是一种惯用的思维,这里打不开,后面说得再多也可能都是白搭。常结合定语从句,分词的语法应用。我们来看一个例子:

By travelling abroad, we have the opportunity to experience different customs, cultures and lifestyles, helping us better understand the whole world.

这个句子是对论点出国旅游有助于我们开拓眼界的论证,采取的就是解释的方式,目的就是协助论点表达得更透彻。

三、 因果推理法

这种方法是基于一个事实的陈述,推出它可能会产生的结果,然后一环扣着一环往下推,直至目标内容出现,也就是论点的内容呈现了。常结合因果关系的状语从句结构展开论证,要注意推理逻辑连接词的应用,如as, since, because, therefore, hence, thus, as a consequence, consequently, ……

论证高中生毕业后先去工作再上大学的这种作为会带来的不利影响之一——这种方式容易使高中生误入歧途,论证过程如下:Since high school students are mentally immature, they are less likely to resist the temptation in the real world. As a result, they are more prone to some social evils, such as theft, drug abuse, and so on. So, they may easily go astray and even commit crime.

四、 对照对比论证法

拿相同或相反的事物做比较,相同关系叫对照(comparison),相反关系叫对比(contrast)。此类论证考生需要重点掌握一些对比对照关系的连词:in contrast, by contrast, on the contrary, while, whereas, likewise, similarly, by the same token。

先看个例子,如:论证广告给消费者提供及时信息,帮助他们做决定中论述到:By contrast, without advertising, a consumer is at the risk of purchasing a product that fails to meet all of his or her needs, because of lack of knowledge of better alternatives in the market.这就是从反面着手,阐述如果没有广告,消费者会受到的影响,用反方的劣势达到衬托正方优势的效果。若想使论点具有说服力,可以尝试寻找对应的参照物相比较,在所选参照物明显的不足面前,本来事物的优点会立刻容易被人信服。

再来分析下对照的例子:They cite that in the sports world, records are always created when a sportsman is facing tough competitions. They believe that, by the same token, in a classroom where clever minds meet, students can achieve their best due to peer pressure. 拿体育比赛中的情况作对照,突出分班教学的必要性。

五、 让步论证法

欲擒故纵的高超写法,对考生来说比较陌生,先退一步承认与自己观点相反的事实,再转折给出自己的观点,否定前者。让步这种方法的优点是能较为全面地看待一个问题,而且反驳更能有的放矢。比如举一个大家特别熟悉的例子,一个男生向女生表白时被拒绝,女生会很委婉地表示,先肯定男生有很多优点,但最终会表示自己并不喜欢他,他不是她喜欢的类型。这种方式一方面不会伤害到男孩的自尊,同时也鲜明地表达了自己的想法。在这种论证中,常见句型如下:although / though / in spite of the fact that…; as is granted / admittedly…; opponents would argue that…

用以下例子加以说明:

1. As is granted, saving money offers people a sense of security in case of emergency. However, people tend to believe that wise investment can get more profits.

2. Opponents would argue that some of the violence shown on TV is the true portrayal of what is happening around us and people have the right to know it. Although this is undoubtedly true, it also means that people who see them a lot may gradually develop a sense of insecurity and mistrust as they are forced to believe they are living in a dangerous world.

很明显,我们在写作的论证过程中,对以上五种方法可以灵活地加以结合使用,不断地积累相关实例,不断地练习这些思维,在论证中做到游刃有余,充分的论证无疑是考生的加分点。希望以上的方法能为各位考生提供一些帮助。

篇13:雅思写作错误备考方法解析

全文共 822 字

+ 加入清单

雅思写作考试是对考生的综合语言能力的考查,但有的考生在备考过程中,往往只是注重应试培养。那我们应该如何合理高效的备考雅思写作呢?

正如之前上面所说,许多考生备考过程中,往往会忽视了对语言知识和实际运用能力的锻炼,那么常见不可取的备考方法有哪些?考生们可以来看看自己有没有中枪

1. 话题准备,厚此薄彼:

教育类和科技类话题通常是雅思写作题库的主角,尤其是教育类话题,考试频率相对来说比较高,如剑9写作的4个话题中,就有两个是教育类。可是这就造成了一些考生在备考雅思写作时比较偏心,只是准备教育类和科技类话题,疯狂的背相关词汇,表达及素材观点,对其他话题却置之不理,这让其他话题情何以堪啊。其实,纵观近几年的雅思写作考试,社会类,环境类和媒体类等话题始终都是一线演员,拥有着和教育类及科技类话题一样比较高的出镜率,而其他话题也不断上位。因此,考生应了解近年雅思写作考试题库和出题规律,针对不同题型和话题,掌握写作方法和技巧,积累相关的词汇表达,句型结构和素材观点,确保万无一失。

另外,在准备雅思图表作文时,同学们不应该只练习曲线图,饼图,柱状图和表格的写作,还要重视流程图和地图题,熟悉表示时间次序和地理方位的相关短语及表达。尤其是地图题出现的频率在近两年的雅思考试中呈现了明显的上升态势,而其中以考察历史变迁的类型为主。所谓历史变迁,即某个地方在经历一段时间后发生了一些调整或改变,可能是地图上的建筑物从无到有,也可能是建筑的位置改变或是规模的扩大或缩小等等。需要同学们从给定的地图中挖掘相应的信息,按照时间和空间顺序,用恰当的语言有逻辑的呈现给读者。《剑九》Test 1就为我们呈现了一道变迁题。这种图表其实难度不大,但是有的童鞋在平时备考的过程中接触且准备的很少,所以在考场上根本无法动笔。事实上,如果我们在备考时,熟记表示方位的词汇和表达,仔细分析并经常练习此类题目,我们就能更好地把握这类题目的写作技巧与方法,在考场上遇到此类题目时不再迷茫。

篇14:写出完美雅思作文的妙计有哪些

全文共 779 字

+ 加入清单

妙计一: 避免空洞的单词和词组

1. 一些空洞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。比如下面的句子:

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. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换,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.

妙计二: 避免重复

1. 尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者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: :

篇15:雅思写作的方法技巧

全文共 3207 字

+ 加入清单

一、compare与contrast的误用

我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。Compare的定义为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同,而后者则侧重于它们的不同。

看个例句:

It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours。

前一句翻译为:对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。

后一句的翻译为:我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同,这很有趣。

再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY的例子:

There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West。

The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier。

When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast。

不难发现,Compare 翻译为 与。。。相比而contrast可译为明显不同的是。。。,切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。

二、介词使用错误

1、普通介词的误用

一般表现为固定搭配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。

2、to作为介词的误用

to最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了 to do的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:

如:

More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them。

这里的 take to means to begin to do sth as a habit 其中 to为介词,所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以黑体处应改为depending on。take to的另一个常用用法也需要牢记:

He hasnt taken to his new school. (这里take to means to start liking sb or sth)

Prefer A to B中的 to也是介词,会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, 这里朗阁海外考试研究中心提醒您,prefer to do sth rather than do sth中的to可是真正的不定式符号。

类似的常用用法请同学们牢记:

Be used to doing

Be accustomed to doing

See to doing

Adapt to doing

Adjust to doing

prefer doing sth. to doing sth。

等等,请注意平时仔细积累。

三、assume及claim使用不够准确

我们知道, think, assume, claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中,同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的,完全可以代换,所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同:

Think: to have opinion or belief about sth。

翻译为认为,通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。

Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it。

翻译为假设、假定,是否有事实依据是不确定的。

Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it。

翻译为声称,用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点,所以很少用作 I claim that

Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, 。

所以 It is claimed that 通常翻译为有报道称。。。。和it is reported that 的区别在于后者翻译为据报道,往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容,

Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision

翻译为考虑,一般不用作引出观点,看个例子:

We are considering buying a new car。

所以,提醒您,千万不要在雅思大作文的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。

四、表建议的词汇后面忘记用虚拟从句

这是摘自学生作文中的一个病句:

I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school。

因为 suggest翻译为建议,所以后面的从句应该用虚拟语气,黑体部分应该改为 (should) continue

提醒您,一定要牢记以下常见表建议的词汇,而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气:

Recommend, suggest, advise

五、such as与for example的混用

我们知道,在表示举例子的时候,such as 与like是完全等同的,如:Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare。

但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道,后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法:

There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian。

这里的such as改为 for example为好,因为in French and Italian其实是there is a similar word in French and Italian的简化,所以要用 for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子:

It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics。

最后,要提醒各位考生,在平时的写作中绝对不能放过任何的模棱两可,只有平时斤斤计较才能做到写作使人精确。

摘要:雅思写作范文之科技发展,下面小编将为大家带来几篇雅思写作科技发展类的范文,雅思写作大作文有很多种话题素材,今天小编着重讲解一下科技发展类素材的范文,希望考鸭们关注本小编哦,我们会在第一时间公布更多最新最实用的写作素材。

雅思 写作范文之科技发展,下面是本小编带来的关于科学发展类的范文,如下:

题目:

Scientific and technological advances have changed our lives. But some scientists in some fields say that scientists are not able to find solutions to the problems they have created. To what extent do you agree or disagree

范文:

We sure live differently from our parents did decades ago. The changes are wide and profound. At the same time, we are facing challenges and problems unknown in the past. Could we find solutions to problems created by scientific developmentThe answer seems to be no.

Some of the most obvious problems caused by technological advances lie in the IT industry. At a time when we did not have computers and electronic bank services, people took money with them and paid by cash. If they were stolen, only the amount they had with them was lost. But now credit cards are more commonly used in shopping malls and other places, crimes again us have become more serious and caused greater losses to people. A thief may tape the code of your credit card and make a copy of it. Then he could safely withdraw all your money from an ATM machine. Crimes such as this are very sticky to solve because there is no witness and the surveillance cameras give little help to the police.

Another example is the issue of information control with the media industry including TV networks and Internet that give easy access to information without discrimination to people’s age. This has created a huge problem for parents and schools because teenage people are particularly vulnerable to adult materials and information violent in nature. In the past, when most information came in the form of print, it was relatively easy to control what children read. When a parent put away a book unsuitable for children, they were cut off from the source of information. With computer parents could use software to filter bad web sites but could not prevent new ones from appearing every day.

People are working very hard to solve such problems that come along with advances in science and technology, but the efforts are not sufficient and not very successful. Even with the little progress we have achieved, we find ourselves defeated by new problems with greater complexity and in wider scope.

In conclusion, developments in many fields of our life have brought us both benefits and problems. Developments in the banking industry give us greater convenience but making us targets of computer-based theft. Changes in media industry expose young people to inappropriate information difficult for parent’s control. However up until now, we have not successfully found permanent solutions yet.

篇18:雅思写作的方法分享

全文共 1779 字

印象里的英语学习要皓首穷经,绝非易事,可眼下,学英语越来越像时尚,新时代的社交名媛,如果嘴里不拽几句E文,似乎跟不上潮流。E文的好处显而易见:学,可以读点专业著作,比如源自西方的金融学,工作累了还可以去国外充个电,别人一问,我美国英国回来的,别管能力咋样,过江龙,倍儿有面子;玩,多门语言,去英语国家就多了份洒脱,多了份自信;赚钱,进个外企,多点国际移动力,炒个美股,信息传递损失为零哈。

没做出啥惊天地泣鬼神的事情之前,英语偷着好还不行,还得人家认可,于是雅思这个考试就横空出世了,IELTS(International English Language Testing System,国际英语测试系统),听说读写都包括,其中写作部分1小时,写400个词,掐指算来,我作为新东方老师跟这400个字儿较劲也两年多了。其实当水平远远凌驾于考试之上时,考试就像个周末的礼拜,如果英语灵光,雅思写作也不用刻意准备。先说说咋提高E文写作水平:

首先,腹有诗书气自华,读的多了,自然写作能力就强。读啥呢,Reading should have a purpose. 把读的内容和自己的目的衔接起来当然最好,选个自己喜欢的语言风格,文学性的或学术性的皆可,我挺喜欢美剧《学徒》里Donald Trump的风格,一看就是贵族教育,写的,字字珠玑。

其次,学以致用啊,最简单的方法就是free writing了,每天抽点时间,写个几百字,不在乎文法,不在乎用词,能说清楚就成。原来在外企那阵儿,每天都写点酸不溜丢的小情书,还专门买了本《外国名人情书》,每天看的不亦乐乎。

再次,该注意点精度了,要不满嘴错误咋进上流社会啊。买本《英语语法新思维》,从走近语法,看到通悟语法,每天再做点课后练习。Writing makes an exact man. 弗朗西斯·培根说的没错,写作让人精确,听说读写,只有写作绕不过语法。

接下来,趁热打铁,让考试做监工,从雅思的Report和Essay,到GRE的Argument和Issue,强化练个百十来篇,形成自己的写作风格。

最后,曲不离口,拳不离手,隔三差五读点大家之作,写点小文章,或者做点小翻译,保持一下水平;或者干脆出国学习工作一段时间,一劳永逸的解决E文问题。看看人家谢国忠的E文,人家也在国内读的本科,人和人差距咋这么大呢。‘Whither Anglo-Saxon Model? - Home prices in the United Kingdom fell by 2.5% in March, the biggest drop since 1992. Compared with a year earlier, the prices rose by 1.1%, the slowest in 12 years. The UKs house prices have increased by 171% in the past ten years, twice as much as personal disposable income. The tightening credit market, as reflected in the high labor rate, suggests the March number not an accident. When liquidity dries up, a bubble will surely burst. The end of the UKs property bubble seems here.…’再比如最近帮朋友看了篇学术论文,还是挺锻炼人的。学术翻译中第一要注是准确性,不要求句式和词语的多样性,同一术语前后用词最好保持一致。而且汉语中的长句子,必须先行分拆,然后用并列动词,并列状语,或者并列短句子来翻译。

其实道理说起来都挺简单,跟成功学似的,关键是能做到的人太少。英语不是一切,今天的多元社会,人总有权选择不学。我的观点是,英语要么不学,要么就学好,学个半斤八两最没劲;而且现在E文好的人越来越多,不仅要会General English,还要会用专业Professional English来讨论问题。吴思说的好,当社会潜规则越来越少时,个人综合素质还是挺重要的。

篇19:雅思大作文写作方法

全文共 551 字

+ 加入清单

雅思大作文的写作都是议论文题材的,对写作方法和技巧方面还是有很多要求的。下面雅思就为大家整理了一个雅思大作文的写作方法,是关于根据原因和结果进行推理来写作的。大家可以在备考的时候,进行适当的参考。

雅思大作文的写作,最关键之处在于论述得当。支持句应使主题句更加令人信服,令考生的想法更加鲜明的呈现在考官面前。然而,中国考生在论述时往往存在一些误区:

一味重复主题,空洞解释。

此类段落不论字数多少,都给人空虚的感觉。考生往往为了凑足篇幅而不择手段。表面看来扩展了许多,但仔细体会永远只有一个意思。不得不让考官觉得即单调又啰嗦。

论述浮于表面,不达根源。

这类考生往往缺乏刨根究底的精神,总是在主旨周围绕圈子,不达中心。这也是中国考生的通病,看似八九不离十,却总也不愿把话点破,让考官怎能不又急又气。

在所有的扩展方式之中,因果推理法是最受用也是最透彻的方法。凡事先追溯到其原由,再扩展其结果,这是将主题阐述清晰、论述有力并且具有逻辑感的最佳手段。

例如在出国留学利弊这一题目之前,若考生单纯说有可能会使青少年学坏,难免缺乏说服力,但若紧接着扩展因为孩子高中毕业后思想上还不成熟,若认识不好的朋友会难以抵抗社会上不好的诱惑,那么此论点一定会让考官眉头舒展,点头认同。由此可见,善用此推理法会让议论文如虎添翼,事半功倍。

篇20:雅思大作文范文:商业和文化

全文共 1978 字

+ 加入清单

One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities,

in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these

countries, aiding the conservation of their features.

While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.
