雅思小作文写作注意事项
朗阁雅思考试研究中心
很多同学可能对雅思小作文不太重视,甚至是对小作文根本不加练习,只关注大作文。我认为这是一个误区,因为在评分中小作文毕竟有一定的比重,而且,小作文的写法掌握起来也并不是特别难,所以同学们还是应该把小作文的分数把握好。
小作文在写的时候,或者是准备写的时候,我们应该注意哪几个问题呢?
一、词汇的背诵
这个毫无疑问,大家都非常清楚,比如说上升的词我们可能会背诵很多如:increase、rise、climb、grow、recover等等。但是每一个词的用法大家也要清楚,例如recover,它是不能在图表一开始上升的时候用的词,因为它的本意有恢复,重新赢得之意,所以,像这样的问题,大家在使用的时候还是要特别注意的,否则在考官看来就会有歧义。
另外,我们还要考虑其他词汇的多样使用,即不要反复的用同一个词汇,例如,一篇文章中讲到中国留学生的问题,我们可以用overseas student,也可以用the Chinese students going abroad for higher education这个分词做定语,当然也可以用the Chinese students who go abroad for higher education这个定语从句来做。
总之,词汇应用一要注意多变性,二要注意准确性。
二、句式的掌握
小作文句式的背诵与掌握是非常重要的。举个简单的例子,比如说我们想表达A在B方面从哪一年到哪一年急剧增长,那么这个时候我们就需要牢牢记住我们至少可以用两种句式来做,也就是一个是副词修饰动词:A increased dramatically in B from …to …,另一个就是用名词形式,我们用there be结构:There was a marked growth in A from …to …
除此之外,我们在大作文当中用到的句式多样性,在小作文当中同样使用,有的同学觉得小作文比较简单,字数也不多,所以不假思索的全部用简单句来写,这同样是不可取的。全部用简单句会给别人很急促、节奏太快的感觉,所以不论是大作文还是小作文我们都应该长句短句交替进行。
三、写作的重点
小作文写什么,这是很多考生头疼的一个问题。题目中会有大量的数据,这个我们根据题目的要求去做是最直接的解决办法。题目中会有这样的要求:Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.也就是说我们所需要写的是图表的主要特点,另外再需要比较的地方就一定要进行比较。掌握了这一点,再辅以我们的练习,我想在写作内容和重点的选取上我们就不会有太大的问题了。
四、数据的使用
小作文最明显的一个特征就是在图表型文章中会有大量的数据,我们除了要把它的主要特点趋势写出来,还要注意数据的引入。因为这类文章是说明文,只有你自己的说明文字,没有相关数据的引入,同样显得没有生气、缺乏说服力。
五、段落的分配
很多同学小作文得六分可能不那么难,但是得6.5或7分就有很大的难度,笔者认为段落的分配是起很大作用的,当然要保证你在以上四点都有很好的表现。我们非常清楚,小作文主要分三部分:开头段、主体段、结尾段,这是一个大纲。在主体段部分,如果你能根据具体的图表情况,把它有所组合,那么说明你在分析题目、分析数据的能力上要胜人一筹。也就是说,你可以根据具体情况,把变化形势相同或相近的放到一起去写,进行重新组合,这样的话,胜算就要大一些。
总之,在小作文的写作上,考生同样不可忽视,把握好以上的几个方面,希望对大家能够有所帮助。

第四篇:雅思写作
翻开剑桥系列教材后面考官所给的范文评析,大家会发现考官的评分标准一般都从如下四个方面展开:内容(content)、组织结构(organization)、词汇(vocabulary)和句式(sentence structure)。同时,据笔者的长期观察,高分雅思作文无一例外地在这四方面有好的演绎才能获得考官亲睐。“好的作文大都是相似的,而不幸的作文却各有各的不幸。”下面,笔者将从以上四方面一一阐述烤鸭们写作时存在的盲点所在并提出相应的建议。
一、内容(content):切中主题,自圆其说
盲点1:无话可说
这类考生在看到题目时,最初的感觉是脑袋中一片空白。雅思作文题材广泛,包括科技、教育、健康、环保、犯罪、文化传统、时尚、体育运动、动物保护等。而且由于文化差异以及学习工作的缘故,日常生活中考生极少接触到这类话题,更不用说对它有什么想法了。
盲点1击破:四多原则
多看范文;多关注时事,观察生活;多与人交流;多记录自己的想法。比较极端的做法是花三天三夜沉浸在范文书当中,分领域熟悉雅思考题及其观点。当感觉自己脑袋中涌现出无数ideas时,关上书,写出自己能够想出来的各个领域的观点,如果某个领 域发生短路,翻开书重新阅读,直至能够写出来为止。
盲点2:千言万语
这类考生往往见多识广,看到话题时感到倚马千言。可是由于词汇量和逻辑方面有所欠缺。往往面临“满腹的心里话不知怎么说”的尴尬。
盲点2击破:词以类记原则
此类考生要分领域积累雅思写作词汇,如在写肥胖问题时,考生需要积累(obese, overweight, coronary heart disease, stroke, heredity, inheritance, junk food, carnivorous, excessive drinking and smoking, couch potato, diabetes, a balanced diet, vegetarian等。)
盲点3:标新立异
这类考生认为论点或论据越新颖越好,力求与众不同。
盲点3击破:自圆其说原则
雅思考试毕竟是语言能力测试,词汇、语法和句式才是测试重点。况且,考官阅卷数载,见多识广,你的观点很有可能已经无法构成他的兴奋点,所以我们讲究论点论据
言之有理,能够自圆其说即可。
盲点4:真情流露
这类考生和“千言万语”型考生神似,唯一的不同便是他们英文表达畅通无阻,写作时有“黄河之水,延绵不绝”之势。但兴奋之时,有些忘乎所以,与主题渐行渐远。
盲点4击破:切中主题原则
这类考生必须建立自己的一套逻辑框架,并严格执行。如在写argumentation类题型时,全文四段:“第一段为背景介绍和提出论点段;第二段为己方观点论证段;第三段为让步段;第四段总结段。切忌任何与主题无关或相悖的鸡肋出现。
二、组织结构(organization):起承转合,行云流水
盲点1:天马行空
这类考生和“千言万语”型考生神似,写作时缺乏自己的一套写作框架。有时,尽管有全文框架,段落框架又缺失,通常表现为主体段内部的分论点或分论据存在逻辑上的重复或冲突。
盲点1击破:起承转合原则
除了段落之间应存在“第一段(起)为背景介绍和提出论点段;第二段(承)为己方观点论证段;第三段(转)为让步段;第四段(合)总结段。”的逻辑框架之外,段落内部每一句也需要有这样的逻辑框架来约束,如让步段中:“some people may argue that „(起);because they maintain that „。(承);However ,they are oversimplifying the situation, in fact „.。(转);Therefore , I believe „。(合)
盲点2:单句游离
这类烤鸭写出来的句子与句子之间没有连接词,有时就算有,逻辑连词也使用错误。或者是标点不注意。最常见使用错误诸如on the other hand。它连接的是转折,却无数次被误解成递进。
盲点2击破:行云流水原则
考生应准确记忆并正确使用各种逻辑关系词,力求做到行云流水,常见的逻辑连词有:
因果关系:
因:As since due to owning to
果:hence thus therefore as a consequence as a result
表目的:thereby
举例关系:Take for example, For instance, To illustrate, As an apt illustration ,对比关系:While ,whilst, whereas, by contrast。
让步关系:despite ,in spite of , not with standing , nonetheless, even though,Provided that , if
三、词汇(vocabulary):同义改写,百花齐放
盲点1 : 遭遇生词
大部分考生苦恼的地方莫过于此,写作过程中无数次由于生词的关系而短路。
盲点1击破:同义改写原则
其实考生对不认识的词完全可以paraphrase,如望子成龙,望女成凤完全可以写成:All parents expect their children to have a promising further。
注意:对于各个领域内的专有名词我们鼓励大家履行词以类记原则,毕竟只有语言水平较高的烤鸭才可能做到用简单的词汇解释难词。如有同学在解释寄生虫(parasite)在他笔下成了” something that is very tiny and lives on my skin and sucks my blood without doing any work”!这样的paraphrase 只能让考官啼笑皆非。
盲点2:同义重现
如在discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the internet时,有考生作文中曾出现了不下10次的advantages and disadvantages。这会让考官出现极严重的审美疲劳,分数自然不高。
盲点2击破: 百花齐放原则
其实考生在平时的习作中应注意近义词、反义词、衍生词的积累,并不断练习。如上面的advantages的同义词为benefits gains merits pros等;disadvantages的同义词有downsides ,weakness, drawbacks cons等。
盲点3:大词连篇
很多考生认为大词生僻词汇用得越多,得分就越高。
盲点3击破:整体协调原则
看到剑桥系列教材大家会发现,考官给出的范文大词生词寥寥可数,真正有说服力的是你用的词能够准确无误的表达你的思想。试想一个语法错误连篇的考生盲目地使用各种生僻词汇来堆砌文章,这无疑给考官造成一种“暴发户”般的强烈视觉冲击,最后只能适得其反。所以,用词上我们讲究与内容以及句式结构整体协调的原则。
三、句式(sentence structure):长短结合,错落有致
盲点1:长篇累牍
和用词上的大词连篇一样,部分考生以能使用各种复杂的长难句为荣。
盲点1击破:长短结合原则
事实上,如果大家有看剑桥后面的范文的话,会发现长难句并不象绝大多数同学想象得那般高深。通常的情况是长短句结合使用,而且论点通常用短句,而论据则长句居多。
盲点2:短小精悍
和长篇累牍型考生相反的是短小精悍型考生,为了保险起见,这类考生作文中充满了简单的is/am/are的主系表和主谓宾句型。
盲点2击破:灵活多变原则
这类考生如果能稍稍变得aggressive一些,他们将是考场上最大的“黑马”。如以Parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability这个简单句为例,通过强调句型的包装我们得到:
It is children’s score that parents and teachers often link to their academic ability rather than other qualifications。
通过倒装句的包装我们可以得到:
So important is children’s score that parents and teachers often link them to children’s academic ability。
通过插入语的包装我们可以得到:
Scores , as is known to everyone ,are often linked to children’s academic ability by teachers and parents。
通过分词短语的包装我们可以得到:
Based on the conception that scores tells everything, parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability。
„„„
通过如此灵活的加工和包装,你会发现,简单句经过稍稍润色原来也可以如此光彩照人,这要比无数大词生僻词堆砌形成的长难句更加赢得考官的青睐。
总之,掌握了如上原则,再加上持之以恒的练习,考生一定能在Task 2中获得自己满意的分数。(编
第五篇:雅思写作
雅思写作范文
Many old building are protected by law because they are part of a nation's history.However,some people think knocked down to make way for new ones because people need houses and offices.How important is it to maintain old buildings? Should history stand in the way of progress?Old buildings sometimes conflicts with social advancement.Appealing as it is in the eyes of business people,tearing down old architect to make room for real-estate development is not a wise idea in many ways.The primarily reason is that old buildings,like our native language,forms our cultural identity and keep a unique record the history of a country.From this aspect,old buildings are considered very valuable as one of the symbols of the culture of a nation.For instance,the traditional Chinese residence in Beijing,Siheyuan,are once seen as the remains of the Old World,and were destroyed by people shortly after the founding of People's Republic of China.Until recently did the people and policy makers as well realize that it is an inexcusable and stupid idea to commit such a terrible deed because old buildings,once gone,are not restorable.But their economic values and aesthetic appeals have just caught the attention of Chinese people.Moreover,old buildings,if planed and preserved properly,could coexist with modern real-estate development.In France,aged buildings bring millions of dollars of revenue for the government and amazed thousands of tourists.Yet no one thinks the high-rising office buildings and apartment buildings make the old architect a sore of the eye.By contrast,the new learn from the old,a fact that makes them more attractive.We admit that not all old buildings should be treated equally and some of them do need to be torn down for various reasons such as safety and new buildings.However,we should not be too blind to see their value too.If only the real and practical factors are being considered,the country will be sorry for its loss in years to come.As we have discussed,old buildings are part of a country's history and are valuable in many ways.We should plan well and be wise enough to see their value.But the same time,we should also do our best to find solutions to make the old and the new coexist in harmony.
