第一篇:雅思写作高分不可生硬套用
在雅思考试的听说读写四门科目中,大多数考生最担心的莫过于写作了,时常会出现投入精力最多、耗费时间最长、考试分数最低的现象,这往往和考生备考方式不合理有关。在雅思写作备考中,考生比较容易进入的一个误区就是“题海战术”。到处收集作文题目,然后每天写2-3篇,以期写作水平在能在短期内迅速提高。其实不然,适当数量的写作实战练习是必不可少的,但是并非批量生产、机械运动,最重要的是能从题目中以小见大、举一反三,掌握相关类型题目的解题精髓。在此,笔者以剑桥系列C5T1的Task 1为例,探讨如何从一道曲线题中学到这一类图型的应对策略。
The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.这是一幅典型的多线图,图中有三条曲线,分别代表美国、瑞典和日本三国老年人的比例变化情况。在正常情况下,这类图形可以采用分线描述的方法,把每条曲线的信息都描写清楚,最后再进行总结和对比。但是可以发现,图中代表美国和瑞典曲线的走势大体相仿,只有在2000年到2030年这段时间里有所差异,可以采用分组思想并为一组来写,而日本的曲线走势比较不同,因此可以单独描写。
但是与常规图形不同的是,这幅图的时间跨度比较大,包含了过去、现在和将来。那么在描述的时候如果完全是按照曲线的顺序来进行,肯定会碰到时态表达的问题,比如在2000年到2030年这段时间里的变化趋势到底应该用什么时态来写,而且在描述每条线变化的时候,都会碰到同样的问题,这时就应该考虑多线图是否有其他的解题思路。
这时,出自雅思考官之手的范文可以给我们一些启发。
The graph shows the increase in the ageing population in Japan, Sweden and the USA.It indicates that the percentage of elderly people in all three countries is expected to increase to almost 25% of the respective populations by the year 2040.In 1940 the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the US.However, while the figures for the Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dipped to only 2.5% for much of this period, before rising to almost 5% again at the present time.In spite of some fluctuation in the expectedpercentages, the proportion of older people will probably continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries.A more dramatic rise is predicted between 2030 and 2040 in Japan, by which time it is thought that the proportionof elderly people will be similar in the three countries.范文采用的是按时间分段,也就是按时态的不同,进行分块说明。主体段第一段是描述过去发生的数据变化情况,第二段则是预计将来的发展趋势。这种按时态划分的思路,使得文章脉络清晰,让人眼前一亮。
那么如果时态一致,也就是说,时态不再成为划分图形依据的时候,是否又只能按曲线一条一条地写呢?其实不然,我们可以假设这幅图上的时间区间不是从 1940到2040,而是从1840到1940,那么这时同样还是可以按照时间来划分的。当然,划分时间段不是绝对的,唯一的目的就是为了便于把内容清晰地表达出来。基于这个原则,这张图可以划分为三个时间段:第一段(1840-1880),美国和瑞典是在逐渐上升的,而日本则是缓慢下降到最低值;第二段(1880-1930),美国基本保持稳定,瑞典继续保持上升趋势,但是伴随着较明显的波动,日本从最低值开始稳步上升;第三段(1930-1940),美国、瑞典和日本三国的比例都是在快速上升的,其中日本的上升幅度最大。这样划分下来,可以发现,每个时间段内,各条曲线图的趋势还是相对单一的,因此比较好写,而且条理也清楚。
由此,我们可以得出,曲线图的写作思路主要有两种:一种是按线条划分来写,一种是按时间划分来写。一般来说,线条数量较少的情况下,可以考虑前者,也是最常规的写法。
如果图中线条数量较多,且图形特征不是很明朗,则可以斟酌后者是否可行。
当然,时态的一致性,以及范文中的一些地道的表达都是值得学习和注意的,而一道题的价值不仅仅在于练习一下,更重要的是要学会边练习边思考,在练习的过程中充分发掘规律性的东西,从而推而广之到一类题型,以小见大,举一反三,把自己从盲目而疲惫的“题海战术”中解脱出来,有选择、有针对、有想法地进行练习,这样才能达到事半功倍的效果,攻克雅思写作难关。
诚然,灵活、合理地运用雅思写作模板能在短时间内帮助雅思写作基础比较差的考生提高不少,但是如果想要真正获得高分的雅思写作,那么就必须突破突破雅思写作模板才能获雅思考官的青睐。环球雅思建议大家可以被模板,但是在使用时切忌灵活与恰当地运用,而非生硬得套在文章中留下明显的“套模板”痕迹。最后环球雅思还是预祝考友们雅思写作获得高分!
第二篇:雅思写作高分
雅思写作大作文必看高分范文
TASK 2: 高分范文一
Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment;only governments and large companies can make a difference.To what
do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, an increasing number of people are concerned about environmental protection and regard it as one of the most important challenges.However, whether only governments and big firms have resources and powers to preserve our environment is a controversial issue.My view is that every single citizen could also make a huge difference.In the first place, it is clear that it is human activities that have the greatest impact throughout the history.Both environment contamination and conservation are the long-term process, and no single government or big company can meet this challenge alone.So whoever created the problem should be responsible for solving it;environment protection needs every one of us to continuously participate in.Moreover, the public’s wills and behaviors have critical influence on government’s policies and companies’ strategies.For example, if everyone says “no” to plastic shopping bags and paper cups, the companies that manufacture such products will switch to environmental-friendly substitutes in order to survive in the market.However, that is not to say that governments and large companies cannot positively contribute.Indeed, governments can enact laws and introduce programs to raise the public’s low-carbon awareness;companies can promote green products to change the public’s consuming habits.But they also need every citizen’s appreciation and support to bring good results.In sum, no effort is too small when we are protecting the environment.Meanwhile, local authorities and organizations must shoulder their responsibility to develop low-carbon economy at the macro level.Only by doing so can we assure that we could hand this beautiful planet to our next generation and the next generation after.TASK 2: 高分范文二-----Argumentation
The Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades.Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive.What are your opinions on this?
The Internet has brought significant changes to our lives in recent years.However, there remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of this technology has been positive or negative.While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally believe that the benefits of the Internet far outweigh its drawbacks and these benefits are twofold.First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate.Despite the risk of social isolation-a problem occasionally seen in people who spend too much time at their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the real world-most of us have benefited greatly from e-mails and Internet chat programs like MSN Messenger.These incredibly useful and powerful tools of communication facilitate both contact with loved ones in faraway places and global trade.Moreover, the Internet has placed the entire world(and all of the information in it)at our fingertips.In earlier times, conducting research entailed long hours searching library shelves.Now, however, the same information can be accessed at the click of a button.Admittedly, not all of the information available on the Internet is reliable or helpful-there is a vast amount of material online that some would consider offensive or dangerous, ranging from pornography to instructions on how to make bombs.Nonetheless, I would contend that this free flow of information has generally been a very positive development.By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that the Internet has had a positive impact on modern life because of its influences on communication and the flow of information.TASK 2: 高分范文三-----Report
With divorce rates and family breakdowns increasing globally, it is generally accepted that families today are not close as they used to be.Discuss the causes of this problem and offer some possible solutions to it.Divorce and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago.Now, however, almost half of all marriages fail.This phenomenon is symptomatic of the growing distance between family members in modern society.In this essay, I intend to explore the sources of this problem along with some possible solutions to it.Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle.Today’s parents have to work harder than those of previous generations to support their families.Traditionally, one parent assumed the role of breadwinner, while the other-typically the mother-acted as the homemaker.Recently, though, double income families have become the norm.Consequently, an increasing number of children now grow up in a parentless environment.Little wonder, then, that they feel alienated.Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary nature of many modern forms of entertainment.In order to solve this sense of alienation within families, I believe we must first address its root causes.Perhaps the most effective method of doing this would be for governments to offer financial incentives to parents who choose to remain at home and take care of their families.Admittedly, such incentives would probably not fully compensate couples for lost income;however, they would at least soften the hardship of living on a single income and provide an alternative for parents who would rather remain at home but are unable to do so because of financial constraints.One further measure would be to promote more interactive leisure activities in the community through public education campaigns.In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexity that no solution is likely in the short term.However, I believe that the measures outlined above would constitute a good first step.Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.Some people think this is fully justified while other think it is unfair.Discuss both these views and give your opinion.As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries.Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country.However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds.Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate.So the notion of “fairness” is not the issue.While those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful.Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career.The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight.So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professionals and achievements.In many countries, the proportion of older people is steadily increasing.Does this trend have more positive or negative effects on society?
In more and more developed countries we see the following trends: incomes rise, people get married later and have fewer kids.The result is the demographics change and the population ages.While having more old people sounds like a good thing(as they tend to be kind and warm-hearted), it can have a serious impact on economies and societies.Consider, for example, that in order for a country’s GDP to grow it needs to produce more goods and services each year.With an aging population and more people retiring, fewer are left to work, creating an economic hole.The result is that such countries have to rely on immigration to fill the gap and this is a less-than-desirable solution.Consider also, that as more people reach their twilight years they will face increasing health problems and this puts huge pressure on health care and other social programs.In most countries the government pays for at least some of the costs of health care, not to mention things like pensions, all of which means a big bill someone has to pay for.To be fair, however, we should be careful not to direct our anger towards old people themselves.Old people can still make contributions to society, whether it means helping look after grandchildren, working part time or even doing voluntary work.On an individual level, old people can be a real treasure.To sum up, governments should recognize the challenges of an aging society and take the appropriate action.But in addition to fixing the short-term impact of an older society, they should also look at the bigger picture and do their best so that in the future we have a better age balance.

Another reason is that(3)支持 B 的原因之二。
The third reason, however, goes this way:(4)支持 B 的原因之三。
So from what has been discussed, one can reach only this conclusion that(5)重申观点。
2、Some people believe A, they point out the fact that(1)人们支持 A 的原因。However, other people believe B.They hold that(2)人们支持 B 的原因。

Considering the views on the two sides, I prefer to put weight to the pros rather than cons.personally,(7)我支持 A 的原因。
以上就是这三个雅思高分写作模板的全部内容,总体来讲就是在雅思观点选择类型的写作中,考生可以选择一种观点进行详细的论述,但是一定不要忘记对两种观点都有所涉及,这样才客观,同时也增加的写作的字数。
第五篇:雅思写作高分词汇
雅思写作高分的取得并不是一件容易的事,大家需要掌握一定的写作技巧,词汇的应用就是最基础的。下面为大家搜集整理了两个关于词汇应用方面的雅思写作高分技巧,供大家在写作备考的过程中进行适当的参考和借鉴。
词汇语序不准确是导致大家不能拿到雅思写作高分的重要因素。
因为中文和英文的叙述方式的不同,词汇的搭配顺序也有很大的区别,所以在雅思写作中,常常会造成一些中式英语的文章,也就是说会写一些完全按照中文语序逐字翻译的错句。这样的语言表达会给考官阅读带来困难,会对句意理解出现分歧,如此一来,当然会大大影响作文的得分。
例如:“竞争合作意识”应当被翻成“the sense of competition and cooperation”。
许多考生在情急之下,往往会翻成“competition and cooperation sense”
这样的表达一旦出现比例较高,便会给考官造成语言不地道的感觉,也就难以取得雅思写作高分。想要掌握正确的词汇的表达顺序这个雅思写作技巧,大家需要在备考雅思写作的过程中接触更多的英语读物,形成英语写作的思维。
书写上存在简写或缩写也是倒是大家不能拿到雅思写作高分的因素。
很多考生在备考雅思写作考试的时候,不能区分口语用词和书面用词的区别,以至于把一些不用在书面表达的方式用在了写作上。口语与写作的最大区别便是口语较随意,而写作比较严谨。为了凸显作文的书面感,建议考生应尽量避免明显的或者大量的简写和缩写形式。一来可以让卷面看起来更加清爽,二来也可以给考官留下认真严谨的好印象。
典型的易写缩写的表达有:
It’s 应该写成it is
What’s more应该写成what is more,Can’t应该写成cannot
以上就是这两个雅思写作高分技巧的全部内容,包括了词汇的语序和词汇的简写和缩写两个部分。大家在自己的雅思写作备考的过程中,一定要注意这两个方面,只要不按照自己思考中文的思维方式来写作,就能大大减少这些可能性了。
