85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6:雅思写作介绍:it的实际应用方法
全文共 1880 字
+ 加入清单一、引言
在看学生的雅思写作文章过程中,总会看到这样的文字,“College graduates are difficult to find jobs. ”,“Parents realise the needs of their children is extremely important. ”,“Students cannot focus on their study because of tiredness is a fact. ”, “Clearly, rush hours emerges in the early morning as well as early evening which is most busy in a day as a whole in London.” 这几个句子,虽然长短不一,结构不同,话题各异,但是,学生对形式主语it的驾驭能力的欠缺,是可见一斑的。
二、形式主语
(一)什么是形式主语
作为形式主语的it并无实际语义,是为满足语法上的需要,避免句子头重脚轻,它代替的是句子的逻辑主语。
(二)形式主语it所在的句型类别
1、作不定式的形式主语
(1)句型
It is + a pity/a pleasure + to do sth.
It is + wrong/right/wise/cruel/naughty/selfish + of sb. + to do sth.
It is + necessary/hard/important/difficult/possible/common + for sb. + to do sth.
(2)雅思范文写作实例
A. Beyond this, it is also of paramount importance to use theaters and museums as the “social classroom" of culture and history education.
B. I think it is by no means pointless in any way to try to keep traditions alive with technology (Cambridge;3,;P162,;Task;2)
C. It is difficult to say who has the rightto judge whether children working is “wrong” or “valuable”. (Cambridge;3,;P164,;Task;2)
D. it is important to remember that need to develop skills other than intellectual ones and …(Cambridge;3,;P168,;Task;2)
E. Finally, I think that it is also important to remember that children need to relax as well as work. (Cambridge;3,;P168,;Task;2)
F. Because people interpret happiness for themselves in so many different ways it is difficult to give and definition that is true for everyone.(Cambridge;4,;P165,;Task;2)
G. It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break for studying after graduation from high school.(Cambridge;5,;P165,;Task;2)
H. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job or to do sth completely different from a university course. (Cambridge;5,;P165,;Task;2)
据本人统计,剑桥官方的雅思真题(剑3—剑8)几乎每一篇Task2考官范文中,都有所使用,甚至在有的文章中出现三次之多。
篇7:雅思大作文的写作方法:直接表达法
全文共 1063 字
+ 加入清单直接表述观点
Well, do you think people can tell you their real thoughts just through phone? Without person-to-person contact, it is unlikely for you to dig deep into their minds and unlikely to get truth.
大部分情况下,英文是首句中心句,段落其他部分是支持中心句的内容,所以听到首句就是主要意思,因此这种模式相对简单,表示观点的词,比如赞成 (support, be for ,go for be on the side of, quite agree with),中立( mutual, just so so, you can try it, not the best),反对( not good, be against, not recommend, better avoid ),喜欢(be favor of, like, prefer),一般态度(its ok, but),不喜欢(dislike),必须( must, it is necessary),依情况而定( it depends),没必要( not necessary),等等。
以下举几个直接表达观点的例子,大家可以看一下。
直接观点表达:
Another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe . A cheap but very effective solution.支持
Finally, a word about the state-of-the-art relief- the TENS machine-a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin. Our experience indicates that your money is better spent on the more old-fashioned remedies.反对
篇8:老外写环保雅思作文
全文共 2495 字
+ 加入清单Topic: Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address. In other word, we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In recent years, many nations have become more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces, such as air and water pollution. The question is, are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem?
It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of becoming an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve. Because of the differences in environmental policies, resources and technology, international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology. By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems, the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed. Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole. One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection.
In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed, the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international commission elected by the participating nations of the world. All members must agree to abide by the standards established. The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world. The impact is long term and international in scope. Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole, depletion of the ozone layer, water pollution, air polution, etc., the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation, not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems.
As part of the same planet, it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment. Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment.

篇10: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

篇12:个雅思写作基础语法扣分点介绍
全文共 740 字
+ 加入清单雅思考试中写作作为文字输出最多的一个部分,不仅考察了同学们的英语写作能力,而且很多细节语法只是的掌握程度也很能在雅思写作中体现出来,而从以往的雅思写作考试来看,扣分的点往往不是那些有难度的语法,而是一些最基础的语法知识。
一、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。
二、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:

篇14:第一位感动中国的外国人
全文共 1537 字
+ 加入清单导语:第一位感动中国的外国人,你知道是谁吗?我们一起看看吧!
在很多人眼中,他是一个失败的小人物,离婚、失业、独居,甚至因为花光了所有的积蓄,而一度陷入深深的绝望。
就是这样一位众人眼中的小人物却在地球另一端的美国创办了一家特殊的网站。之所以说它特殊,是因为在这个界面简陋的网站上,随便输入任何一个汉字,人们都可以找到它的字形在历史上演变的过程——小篆、金文,甚至还能回溯几千年,看到它被刻在甲骨上的模样。这样的汉字字源网站即便是在中国,也绝无仅有,更不要提在大洋彼岸的美国。由于网站在网络上被广为传播,它的创办者——那位满头白发的美国老人,也一时间成为热门人物。甚至被网络称为:2011年,第一个感动中国的外国人。
网站的火爆是他所没想到的,更令他没想到的是自己会因网站而成名,在他60岁的花甲之年。为了创建那个网站,他花费了20年的时间和全部的存款,他身边的朋友和家人却几乎没有人觉得,那是一件有意义的工作。20年的时间很漫长,在漫长的时间长河里,他一个人在寂寞中坚持着……
他就是理查德·希尔斯(RichardSears),家住美国田纳西州的一位普通老人。38年前,当希尔斯突发奇想开始学中文时,这个物理系的大学生只是希望了解那些说别的语言的人会如何思考、交流。他来到了台湾,在街头拼命跟人聊天,并且在那里结识了自己后来的妻子。
口语练好了,希尔斯又开始张罗着学认字。可是那些毫无逻辑的汉字笔画总是让他一头雾水。于是,这个已经步入中年的男人再一次“突发奇想”,研究起了古汉字。
可在英文书籍里,关于汉语古文字的书籍只有一本。并且,关于词源的解释,不同的书籍也不相同。希尔斯又琢磨着把不同的解释都输入电脑,这样自己就可以很方便地从中挑选出最符合自己的词源。为此,他先开发了一个小程序,到了2003年,又把它们搬上了互联网。
现实里的希尔斯是一位电脑工程师,年轻的时候,他在硅谷的一家IT公司拿着一份不错的薪水,也就是那个时候,他雇用了一位中国妇女,教她用电脑,并且从几百本书里把汉字不同的字形扫描到电脑里。但现在,这个曾经一身结实肌肉的帅小伙,已经身材发福、头发花白。
在希尔斯眼中,有些东西比金钱更加重要,只可惜很多人没有看到这一点。身边的人们几乎没人能理解他的坚持,其中也包括他最终选择离婚的妻子。
为了寻找那些古代的汉字字形,他跑遍了中国大陆和台湾几乎所有大学的图书馆,查阅了几百本书。看得多了,他甚至还能提出自己的解释。比如汉字“金”,说文解字形容它字形的来源是“金在土中”,可希尔斯觉得,它的象形文字应该来源于“钟”的形状,因为这样才能让人立刻明白“金属”的概念。
只有网上一些学习中文的人会写信给他,夸赞他做了一项“伟大的工作”。这些人并不知道,希尔斯已经连租用服务器所需要的每年47美元都快付不出来了。当生活的艰辛与精神的富饶在他的身上形成了一种悖论时,他陷入了绝望之中。
生活还要继续,网站还要办下去。当希尔斯成为网络名人时,他正在加利福尼亚州给自己92岁的母亲过生日。这个2年前才退休的中学数学老师,是唯一没有抱怨过希尔斯工作的家人。
面对来自中国的鼓励与赞扬,这位美国老人内心又一次燃起希望。“感谢上帝。这么多年过后,那些中国的朋友终于让我的母亲相信,我做了一件正确的事情。”他笑着说。面对这种迟到的肯定,他的笑容里有一种自豪,虽然他付出了太多太多,早已无法用金钱去衡量。
我不知道一个人需要多大的毅力,才能默默耕耘而无怨无悔,付出青春、汗水与积蓄,饱受质疑去做一件旁人看来毫无意义的事。20年的时光令他失去了太多,但毫无疑问他也收获了许多。
一生只做一件事,做就要把它做好,这是理查德·希尔斯的信念,很幸运,他的宿愿变成了现实。因而,他也成为2011年第一位感动中国的外国人。

篇16:雅思写作复习1.研习
全文共 413 字
+ 加入清单没有规矩,不成方圆。对于一般英语学习者而言,写出优秀的文章有赖于后天习得,但并不意味着机械背诵、生吞活剥,或者照搬照抄、人云亦云。所谓研习,需要有独立思考和个人的判断,本着他山之石,可以攻玉的精神,汲取文章的精华部分加以研究。研习主要侧重两个方面,包括文章章法和语言表达。文章章法指文章的行文思路、布局谋篇、结构安排、逻辑顺序。许多学习者面对一个话题,可能存在两种不同的困惑,一是下笔千言,但离题万里;二是思绪万千,却无从落笔。导致两种困惑的根源皆在于欠缺思考问题、组织思路的恰当方式,以至于文章不得要领、章法紊乱。这就要求我们从全篇脉络角度多研习范文,之后领悟如何以演绎法行文、怎样用归纳法谋篇以及如何围绕特定话题拓展思路等等。此外,研习还要侧重于语言表达,包括遣词造句和句子、段落之间的各种衔接手段,以期在自己日后的写作中派上用场,因为英文写作皆通一理。只有善于借鉴,勤加研究,才会借他人的优势和长处,提高自己的写作水平。

篇19:雅思写作满分准备方法2:“栽赃法”
全文共 200 字
+ 加入清单如果不能保证文章的质量,可以从数量入手,记住我在课上讲过的托福写作黄金法则“the longer, the better”!新东方的学员中曾经有位写作30分的获得者,独立写作30分钟写了600字,拿了满分。当然他肯定有一些不足和错误,可是仍然不影响满分。可见如果不能把文章写得很漂亮,不能写出亮点,那就多写点吧,字数多也是亮点。只要大家按照我上课讲授过的方法来扩充论据,写出“长篇大论”是很容易的事。
篇20: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。
