第一篇:雅思写作
Topic: It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not.However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.The relative importance of natural talent and training is a frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in, for example, sport, art or music.Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or music.So from our own school experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.However, some people believe that innate talent is what differentiates a person who has been trained to play a sport or an instrument, from those who become good players.In other words, there is more to the skill than a learned technique, and this extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequently a child practices.I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes.Such talents can give individuals a facility for certain skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working students never manage to reach a comparable level.But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive.Good musicians or artists and exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent.Without the natural talent, continuous training would be neither attractive nor productive, and without the training, the child would not learn how to exploit and develop their talent.In conclusion, I agree that any child can be taught particular skills, but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required.
第二篇: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
第三篇: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.
第四篇:雅思写作
很多人在准备雅思考试的初期都会问几乎相同的问题:“需要多大的词汇量?”“应该背哪本词汇表?”就这些问题,北语雅思的看法如下:
雅思是个能力考试(a proficiency test),与人们所熟悉的 achievement test 不同。
所谓 achievement test,是指那些对学生所学过的知识进行检测的考试。如每学期的期 中、期末考试。一般来说,在这样的考试前,学校都会安排复习,老师也许还会划定复习范围。这些考试都和教学大纲规定的内容和进度等有关。考试的内容一般不超出大纲规定的内容。以英语为例,大纲规定了词汇表,试题中如有超纲词要注明中文定义。所以,每当面临一个新的考试时,考生会很自然地问:看哪几本书?有没有词汇表?
一般来说,proficiency test 与教学进度、内容、教学大纲等无关,自然也与词汇表无关。市面上有“雅思词汇”
七、八本之多,均为出版社为了赚钱,雇人编写的,没有一本具有所谓“权威性”。稍好一些的有例句说明单词的用法,差的只给出中文定义。如果想背词汇,随便买本“托福词汇”、“
四、六级词汇”、甚至某本英汉辞典,效果是一样的。
其实,词汇的最好学习方法是通过大量的阅读来学习,而这种大量的阅读正是雅思考试阅读部分所侧重的。备战一个 proficiency test 时,最好的准备方法就是:考什么,准备什么。考阅读,就通过阅读准备,而不是通过背词汇表准备。
常有考生问:考雅思需要多大的词汇量?很多人把词汇量看成是能力的标志,这又回到 achievement test 和 achievement test 问题上。如果能从知识和能力的方面划分考试的话,对词汇量的测试是知识型的测试。有些考生可以得很高的知识分,但能力欠佳,即所谓“高分低能”。换言之,词汇量不是能力标志。从另一个角度看,词汇量的统计也有问题。以下这些词怎么算:
act, actor, actress, action, active, activity, react, reactive, reaction, counteract, interact, hyperactive 等等,这到底算几个词。
那么该用什么来判断一个人是否达到了挑战雅思的水平呢?很简单,做
一、两套模拟题就可以了。拿体育作比喻,如果你想知道自己跑一百米需要多少秒,最好的办法就是去跑。而不是分析自己的心脏情况、血压、体重等。当你知道自己“吃几碗干饭”,再去做相应的准备,去有针对性地练爆发力、步幅、节奏等。
在作听力和阅读试题时,三分之一的正确率就是一个很好的起点。经过一学期的脱产培训,在考试中获得6段是有可能的。如果起始正确率能达到三分之二,也许不用参加培训,考自己多做几套模拟试题,就可以获得很好的成绩。如果正确率在三分之一以下,那就不应该上雅思培训班,而应该上一个不和任何考试挂
钩的培训班。这样的班更好地解决打基础、提高能力的问题,因为大部分雅思培训班都花很多达到时间琢磨应试技巧,而顾及不到能力的提高。
如何自测口语和写作呢?看一看雅思口语和写作的题目,你自己离议论这些题目还差多远?要想在口语和写作考试中获得有意义的分数(6段),应该能达到“侃”的水平。如论述“大城市面临的交通问题的原因、现状、出路”;“在教育孩子的过程中„惩罚‟的作用”;“很多人感到越来越忙,没有闲暇时间,原因是什么,应该怎么办?”。这几个题目是去出现过的雅思作文真题(task 2)。口语题的难度也相差无几,如“论教育对一个民族的重要性”。
之二
雅思考试与我们所熟悉的许多考试的区别之一是,雅思没有语法和词汇题。于是有人认为不懂语法、不认识几个单词也可以考雅思。考过之后才感叹,难!于是赶紧四处打听“有多大的词汇量才能挑战雅思”。
中国学生的习惯是,所有的考试都可以通过“准备”来通过的。
北语雅思想说的是,proficiency tests 是不能“准备”的,至少是不能以“期末复习、考试”那种形式来准备,更不能靠达到“五千”或是“八千”词汇来准备的。北语雅思的所有教师都考过雅思,有的了两次、三次,可是谁也不知道自己有多大的词汇量。什么人关注“自己”的词汇量呢?英语学习还不入门的学生,英语教学还是新手的教师。
还是那句话,考什么,你就应该能够做什么。比如,留学类的阅读的三篇文章都出自原文报刊,如“New Scientist”,那么考生就应该去看和这类杂志在难度、长度、题材有可比性的文章,通过阅读来学习词汇,而不是去背词汇表。读懂这样的文章靠什么?语法、词汇、背景知识等等,但这些都是次要的,主要的、乃至最重要的是:靠日积月累达到的量。
读有难度、长度的文章比背词汇表痛苦的多。背词汇表可以让人有“feel
good”、“我没闲着”的感觉,因为可以通过“量化”来衡量自己的投入与产出。所以,背词汇表的人多,脚踏实地、靠阅读量来学习的人少。
听听womo于2003-3-17在51ielts.com上怎么说的:“环球说得6000-7000,不过我现在手里有三本雅思单词书,发现他们不仅说雅思该有的单词量不同,就连选录的单词也差很远,背完新东方再看环球的,一堆不会。背完环球再看杨凡的,一堆不会”。
把那些“词汇手册”之类的东西都扔了吧。去读、去听!!!
之三
浅谈雅思词汇
这个问题往往是各位准备考雅思的朋友们非常关心的,说起来也很正常。词汇量本身就是衡量英语水平和考试难度的一个尺度,尤其在雅思考试形式比较特殊,没有考试大纲的情况下,对词汇来年量的需求自然倍受关注。很多朋友张口就问,考雅思要不要背单词?背什么单词书?也有很多朋友给我发邮件来询问这个问题。很久没有写关于英语学习的东西了,最近采访了不少刚考完雅思的同学们,今天正好借这个机会和大家讨论一下。
首先要说明一点,本文里面的观点都是针对起点为词汇量在1,500-2,000的基础不是太好的朋友们。换句话说,如果你的起点更低,连最基本的1,500词汇都没有的话,那么我个人认为你是必须要背单词的,没有多少商量的余地。
那么,具备了1,500-2,000的词汇量,到底要不要背单词呢?应该背什么单词呢?下面我就结合雅思考试的特点,分项展开说明。
首先来看看对词汇要求最简单的口语。有关学好口语需要多少词汇量的问题几乎已经被讨论烂了,比较公认的结论应该是500-800日常词汇足矣。换句话说,如果你具备1,000以上的词汇,但口语仍然不好,那请一定不要把原因归结为词汇量不够,也请一定不要把解决办法定位于背单词。其实,除去因为缺乏练习造成的表达不够流利之外,口语不好的主要问题在于对一些小词掌握的不够到位。比如get,take,make这样的动词,搭配上不同的介词,几乎可以表达所有的日常动作。因此,当你觉得你有意思表达不出来时,先不慌查字典找单词,而应该问问自己,你是不是可以用已经学过的很简单的单词和词组来表达这个意思?所以说,为了提高口语,是没有必要专门背单词的,相反,应该把所知道的简单词汇学好,学精。你知道see是看见,是否知道see off是告别?你知道large是大,又知道at large表示逃亡在外么?再次向口语不好的朋友们推荐《学好17个动词走遍天下》,以后千万别动不动就拿起词汇书来背了。
接下来我们看看写作。雅思考试作文的批改方式比较特殊,是analytical scoring,而不是象TOEFL采取的global scoring。什么叫global scoring呢?其实它比较象我们中学时的作文评分方式,就是一眼看上去大概是什么水平,属于哪个档次,就给多少分。那么analytical scoring又是怎么回事呢?我们翻译过来叫做“分项评分”。雅思作文评分有三项:内容结构,连贯衔接,语言质量。每一项分别评分,要注意,在给每一项评分时是不受其他两项影响的。也就是说,哪怕你的文章离题万里,只要文字优美,那么语言那一项也是有可能打8分的。三项加起来除以三,就是一篇作文的最终得分。那么这种分项评分到底有什么好处呢?显然是有的,因为英语作为外语,普遍中国学生写作文时语言水平有限,因此如果把握好文章的内容结构,在连贯方面处理得好,完全可以将最终分数提上去。而把握文章的结构,做好连贯衔接,显然与词汇量的大小丝毫扯不上关系吧?退一步讲,如果要提高写作的语言质量,也几乎不取决于词汇量大小。关于这一点,我在《关于写作的一点个人体会》中详细阐述,这里不再废话。
说起听力,我又要提起我反复强调的一个概念:听力词汇量。听力词汇量区别于阅读词汇量,简单地说,就是不看拼写,仅从发音判断就能确定认识的单词,才属于你的听力词汇量。对于听力水平普遍不高的中国考生,可能听力词汇量还不到阅读词汇量的一半。而雅思听力考试显然要求的是更多的听力词汇量,而不是
阅读词汇。从这一点出发,整天抱着词汇书死背,往纸上反复抄写,对提高听力词汇量有百害而无一益。其次,雅思听力作为考察英语国家生存能力的测试,对日常用语考得非常频繁。雅思听力的特色题目就是填空,简答这样需要动手填写单词的题目。而需要填写的单词往往是日常用词。比如有一次考过jackfruit(菠萝蜜),还考过pomelo(釉子),这样的词生活中很常用,可是好象哪本单词书中都不会收录吧?那么,整日抱着单词书背,意义究竟何在?
最后我们来讨论存在争议最大的阅读问题。
雅思考试的阅读文章往往是从报刊杂志上摘下来的,这样就造成大量的专有名词,以及一些不常用的词汇。这样造成了考生在考试时遇到大量不认识的单词,因此带来的结果就是,很多人马上将自己无法答对题的原因归结为不认识单词,将解决办法归纳为背单词。于是背了刘毅的5000和10000,三个月后满怀信心走入考场,发现不认识的单词比上次还多!很多培训机构也很不负责地拿有些考生的成绩来做虚假宣传,说某某词汇量多少,于是阅读多少分耳耳,好象他的成绩就归功于他词汇量一样。那么,问题究竟出在什么地方?
要了解这一点,首先有必要了解一下雅思阅读的出题原则和思路。雅思阅读是考察从文章中获得有效信息的能力,因此充满生词是必然的,问题在于你能否从中读出对你有用的信息。我可以完全负责任的说,雅思阅读从来不出从上下文推断词义的题目,换句话说,雅思阅读中根本就没有考察词汇量的题!!
象summary,short anwser question这样的题目,只需要你从原文中寻找特定的信息,哪怕它是个专有名词,你不认识,没关系,找出来填进去就是了。对于大多数人来说,最难的题当属T/F/NG,这种题怎么考呢?比如,文中讲Tom is taller than Mary。题目中说Tom is as tall as Mary。那么显然,这道题为FALSE。有人说这太简单了,雅思不会考这么简单的,其实这说明你没有意识到T/F/NG题的精髓所在罢了。对于雅思考试来说,无非就是把TOM,MARY这样的词换成谁都不认识的专有名词来吓唬人而已,因为T/F/NG题根本就不考你的词汇量,它考的是你对句意的把握。而能否正确把握句意,取决于你的语法和句子结构分析能力,与词汇量无关。下面举个真实考试的例子大家就明白了。
文中说&& is a poor predictor,%% is little better than &&.题目说%% is a good predictor.(&&和%%表示两个难词)。好,这个题答案是什么呢?是FALSE。为什么呢?很显而易见,这里的专有名词我都没写出来,认不认识肯定对答题不影响,这里题目考察的是对little better than这个语法结构的理解,你必须知道这个结构,才能正确把握句子的意思。那么什么人需要背单词呢?那就是连
poor,little这样的词都不认识的人才需要背,也就是我开头说的那些基础实在太差,词汇量可能只有三位数的人。而对于很多词汇量并不小的人,由于不认识little better than这个结构,照样无法做对题目。
举个简单的例子,无非是想告诉大家,要看清阅读考试的实质,千万不要轻易将做错题的原因归结为词汇不够。其实造成阅读能力有限的原因是多方面的,主要是阅读速度和对句子结构的分析能力。前者必须通过广泛的阅读来锻炼和提高,而后者,说到底是一个英语基本功是否扎实的问题,冰冻三尺非一日之寒,解决语法问题是慢工夫,并不是背背单词就可以提高英语水平的。
说到这里,很多朋友可能会这样问,你写这个是不是就是要大家把手里的单词书全都扔掉?非也。对于很多已经工作的朋友,或者长时间不接触英语的朋友,找一本合适自己的词汇书看看,是尽快恢复的最好办法之一。背单词的关键在精不在多,对于一个单词,并不是看到它知道中文意思就足够的,如果让你造个句子你会不会用?如果在收音机里听到它你能不能分辨出来?这都是衡量对词汇的掌握程度。因此,反复复习,反复再实践中运用刚学到的单词,才是背单词的正道。
本人是机械背单词的强烈反对者,因此从不推荐词汇参考书。如果非要说起来的话,找一本用法详细,注解丰富(最好有英文注解)的四级词汇书,足矣 :)
PS:这里我想谈谈很多所谓《雅思词汇》这样的书。郑重其事告诉大家,这种书绝大多数都是不科学的。首先,雅思考试没有明确大纲,只要在英语中出现的词汇,都有出现在卷子上的可能,并没有规定哪些词汇才是所谓“雅思词汇”。很多编者宣称他的书是经过多少多少次对真题的统计得出的结论而搞出来的词频,大家千万不要轻易上当。首先,雅思真题保密工作很好,真题不可能在考场外泄露,而考生离开考场是不准带出一张纸。那么这些所谓的“统计者”,从哪里搞来那么多的真题作为统计材料?用脑子把卷子一字不差背下来?呵呵。其次,由于雅思考试的特殊性,每次考题与上次几乎没有关系,也就是说,一次考题中出现什么单词,与它上次出现与否,下次还会不会出现,是完全没有规律可循的。做这种统计本身就是无意义的。希望广大鸭友们在选取参考书的时候一定要睁大眼睛,千万不要被*商蒙蔽。
