Ⅰ、开头段的功能与写作手法
一、功能
* 引入主题—Introduction,引入关键的信息,最后提出观点—Opinion
二、写作手法
对于题目中提出的problem / issue / controversy / debate…
1、方式一:陈述
基本句型:The debate is…/The focus is…/The critical issue is…
※ 2、方式二:设问(高分结构)
一般来说有下面两种形式:
⑴ 设问后直接进入自己的观点。
debate → opinion
* ⑵ 设问后,先写出一个对立的观点,之后表达自己的观点。
debate → 对立opinion → opinion
" border="0" smilieid="7" src="./images/smilies/default/tongue.gif" />ATH connecttype="custom" connectlocs="@35,@0;@38,10800;@37,@4;@36,10800" textpathok="t" connectangles="270,180,90,0">ATH>
讲义P1:Whether it is good or bad to marriage with a foreigner?
⑴可以以设问形式开头。核心词是marriage,e.g.:婚姻该受到国籍的限制吗?
⑵然后可从以下两个角度考虑:
角度一:有哪些群体会比较关心这个话题。如sociologists, culture researchers, scholars and experts等人群。
e.g.:婚姻该受到国籍的限制吗?sociologists, culture researchers, scholars and experts等人认为…。而我的观点是…。
角度二:从时间角度考虑。过去的观点/传统观点认为…。
e.g.:童年对于人生到底起到什么样的作用?过去的观点认为…。但是现在…。我认为…。
讲义P2:Some people think that the childhood is more important than the first years after school to the development of one’s future characters and life. Do you agree or disagree? Give your explanation and use your example.
例文:
方案一:① To what extent can childhood influence one’s whole life? ② The traditional theory holds that childhood shapes an individual’s development more than anything ( any other time/any other period ) else does. ③Nevertheless, my experience and some scientific evidence do not support the old view.
方案二:① To what extent can childhood influence one’s whole life? ②My experience and some scientific evidence demonstrate that childhood is more vital than any other period in one’s whole life.
得分点解析:第一句:设问句。
第二句:…more than…比较结构,8分句型。命题中涉及到比较的都可以引入比较结构。
第三句:有明显的过渡词,转折。
* 注意学会使用框内的高分词汇,词汇要有变化,不要总用opinion来表达“观点”的意思。
这个结构中的任意一句都可以随意变换。
1、去掉第一句也可以作为开头。E.g.:⑴ The traditional theory…⑵ My experience and some scientific evidence demonstrate that…;
2、去掉第二句也可以。E.g.:⑴ To what extent…. ⑵ My experience and some scientific evidence demonstrate that childhood is more vital than any other period in one’s whole life。
讲义P3:Some people say it is a good way to spend a lot of money on the costumes and hair beauty while others say it is waste of money and time. Use your experience to illustrate to which idea you prefer.
例文:① Can costumes and hair beauty benefit ( positively impact/affect) one’s work, life, and study? ② The average people ( People on average ) claim that to do hair wastes time and money. ③ However/Nevertheless, psychologists and human resource managers argue that costumes and hair beauty bring people not only happiness, but also success. ④ I welcome this new development.
注意复合连词的使用,高分句型
* 《剑桥雅思Ⅲ》P168是一篇8分范文。
Ⅱ、中间主体段落的本质与构成
一、中间段落的本质
本质上是一个论证Argument的过程。
论证方式主要有两种: 归纳法 :个体→主体
演绎法 :主体→个体
IELTS Writing主要应用归纳法。
二、中间段落的构成(得分点)
1、主体3段中每段与上下段之间必须有过渡,要能够衔接的上,是章法标明的体现。
㈠ 5段:明显过渡词,e.g.:first, second, finally…(注意:前面如果没有first,后面就一定不能出现finally。)
㈡ 4段:转折关系过渡,e.g.:by contrast…
2、分论点的提出(1-2句)
㈠ 一定要重复命题的核心词,6分的根本,如果没有核心词则判为跑题。
㈡ 句型:句型要复杂多变,7分基本要求。
3、提出分论点后,要提供一个论证的过程(1-2句)
* 分论点 + 举例 = 结构错误 (分论点后不能直接加上事例)
论证是对论点的解释:
㈠ 对分论点进行解释
㈡ 从反面支持分论点:如果没有…,则会…。For example,…。
㈢ 条件假设:If not …,…。
4、提供论据(≤3句)
㈠ 个人的经历:My experience is…。
㈡ 事实或者统计数据(编)。
5、归纳(1句)
完全可以没有这个部分,但是在字数不够的情况下,可以用归纳来凑足字数。
e.g.:This indicates that…/ Clearly,…/ Thus,…/Hence,…/Accordingly,…/Consequently,… 以上词汇都表示结论与归纳。
3rd Writing Lecture
一、(接上节课)中间主体段落
4、提供论据(≤3句)
㈠ 个人的经历:My experience is…。
㈡ 事实或者统计数据(可以自己编,只要不是太离谱)。
1、举例词组: A case in point is that…
Take…as a case/as an example, …
Take the fact that…as a case/as an example, …
Fact that…serves as an example.
a typical example. 有代表性的
a convincing example. 有说服力的
2、数据对比
① A study conducted 进行,做(研究) by sociologists from(the Law School of 扩展字数时可以加上) Yale University between 1990 and 2000 in the case that the divorce rate of the international family was only 0.32%. ② However, the average divorce rate was as high as 0.9%.
二、例文精讲
* 1、练习时要学会分析题目中问题出现的原因,这是在考前需要完成的工作。
2、首段,末段和中间主体段落的首句绝对不能出现语法错误。
Topic:Most cities have traffic and housing problems. Some people suggest that big companies and factories(核心词) move to countryside. What’s your opinion?
§ 1首段思路:1、问题存在,严重,急需解决(陈述形式,最好加入比喻)
2、什么是最好的解决方式?(设问形式)
3、一种观点认为…。
4、转折:但是,我(和…)认为…(反方观点)。
Paragraph 1
" border="0" smilieid="10" src="./images/smilies/default/sweat.gif" />INE>" border="0" smilieid="10" src="./images/smilies/default/sweat.gif" />INE>" border="0" smilieid="10" src="./images/smilies/default/sweat.gif" />INE>INE>①首句用比喻,8分 ②what的双重语法性质,9分
INE>INE>INE>INE>INE>INE>Like a disease that troubles the patients, traffic and housing problems in almost every metropolis (big cities, such as…) are what governments must address without any delay. But, how? One theory claims big companies and factories should be moved to the hinterland/countryside. Although it sounds plausible, the theory is not essentially/actually/in fact flawless. [或者:the theory is misleading (undermined by the following facts and figures⑤压头韵)
③长短句错落有致,有节奏韵律变化 ④双否=强烈肯定
另一种比喻方式:
Tuning into BBC or CNN, you are flooded by various problems. But, what are the most serious? Undoubtedly, they are traffic and housing problems (省略which) each city is confronted with. One theory claims big companies and factories should be moved to the hinterland/countryside. Although it sounds plausible, the theory is not essentially/actually/in fact flawless.
§ 2 主题段落部分
* 1、段首句一定要有明显的过渡词,这是6分的基本点。
2、注意要重复题目中核心词。
Paragraph 2
INE>INE>INE>INE>①明显过渡词 ②长短句结构
INE>INE>INE>INE>INE>INE>To begin with, it is entirely wrong to attribute city housing and traffic problems to big companies and factories. Why? The area that big factories and companies occupy usually accounts(注意主谓一致) for less than (因为area不可数,所以用less,而不是用smaller)15% of the whole city. Hence, big companies and factories contribute little to housing and traffic problems. Moreover, the number of the employees of big companies and factories is (与主语the number保持主谓一致) not large enough to cause traffic and housing problems.
Paragraph 3
Next, to move big companies and factories does not solve the housing and traffic problems. In fact, it harms rather than helps(压头韵) city economic development by shifting the problems from city to countryside. Once the big companies and factories are moved to countryside, schools, banks, hospitals, raw material supplies, and the like will also stream into the countryside. When the system becomes a flood, a new city comes into being. Then, the old problems reappear in the “new cities”. In addition, it is these big companies and factories that trigger and lead the city economic development. To remove them, products and services are expensive. Hence, to move them countryside makes little sense.
* 并列关系的句子可减少1-2句,任意去掉哪一句,文章仍然精彩。
§ 3 结尾段:1-2句,必须有结尾标志词,一定要与首段呼应。
Paragraph 4
INE>INE>①有明显结尾标志词 & ②与首段观点呼应
To sum up, I do not agree that big companies and factories should be moved to countryside. To solve the problem more effectively and efficiently(压头韵),扩展时可以加入这样的词组, governments and scholars should consider more insightfully.
* 第二句完全可以没有,只用一句来重申观点,与首段呼应即可。但是在字数不够,或有余附时间的情况下,可以加上第二句。(To solve….insightfully一句亦可用与口语中环境话题。)
4th Writing Lecture
一、以讲义P3题目为例讲解总分结构的拓展:
讲义P3:Some people believe that the bicycle is the best way to travel from one place to the other. State the advantages and disadvantages of riding bicycle.
与开汽车相比较
1、骑自行车的优点
ATH connecttype="custom" connectlocs="21600,0;0,10800;21600,21600" textboxrect="13963,@4,21600,@5" arrowok="t">ATH>㈠Physical health: ⑴开汽车只是手和脚做很少的运动;
⑵骑自行车则是全身运动。
㈡Pollution:自行车没有尾气排放emission,不燃烧任何燃料fuel,不产生任何的pollutant,所以没有physical和chemical的损害damage。
㈢Save space: 汽车要occupy大约6㎡;
而自行车只要不到1㎡。
而且,一部汽车如果只有一个人坐,则浪费空间,而自行车不存在这种问题。
还可以说些安全问题safety。
2、骑自行车的缺点
㈠Distance:自行车不能cover a long distance,一个人一般最远骑3-5km。
骑太久会导致人疲劳fatigue,同时浪费时间waste time。
㈡Wind/rain/sun:自行车无法阻挡恶劣的天气。
㈢Economy:自行车产业对国家经济发展没有推动作用,nation-wide
Mobile industry can promote a lot of other industries’ development, such as computer, steel…
※二、IELTS作文Task2部分
三类十二条(把抽象题目具体化)
第一类:个体角度 Individual:
㈠ Physical health(很基本的一个出发点),如:各种运动,放风筝等。
㈡ Psychological development:现在的社会容易让人形成心理压力stress/pressure,以及太多的挫败感too much frustration,成功的机会很少success chance is very limited。
㈢ Academic success
㈣ Career achievement
㈤ Moral / Aesthetic
第二类:家庭角度 Family
㈠ Generation gaps:孩子放学回家后,由于过多的作业和压力,根本没时间和心情与父母交流,communication between adolescents and adults is very limited;
这种代沟是不能消灭的,而该在父母与孩子之间建立一种沟通的桥梁,we cannot eliminate the generation gaps, but should bridge over them。
㈡ Husband & Wife
㈢ Parents:孝顺父母问题honor。
第三类:社会角度 Society (如P5 国际间旅游题目)
㈠ Environment(Environmental Problems)
pollution=contamination
air pollution & soil pollution & water pollution
water and soil erosion 水土流失
ATH connecttype="custom" connectlocs="@8,0;0,@9;@8,@7;@6,@9" textboxrect="@3,@3,@4,@5" gradientshapeok="t" limo="10800,10800">ATH>
ATH connecttype="custom" connectlocs="10800,0;0,@0;10800,21600;21600,@0" textboxrect="@1,0,@2,@6" connectangles="270,180,90,0">ATH>
导致空气中二氧化碳释放并在大气中积聚carbon dioxide is released and accumulated in the atmosphere;
汽车尾气排放引起温室效应greenhouse effect,引致酸雨acid rain等现象的出现 |
物种多样性降低 bio-diversity falls down |
会导致一些物种的灭绝plants & animals extinction |
疾病大肆传播diseases widely spread |
㈡ Economy development
⑴农业经济的可持续性发展 Agricultural sustainable development
反例:为了提高产量raise the crop yields,而使用化肥fertilizer和农药pesticide,最终会导致顶层土壤top soil的减少。
⑵工业经济可持续性发展 Industrial sustainable development
①采矿业 mining
②制造业 manufacture:mechanical & electronical manufacture…
③科学研究领域: out space discoveries
submarine / deep ocean discoveries
可以显示出一个国家的经济实力
㈢ Education
教育的宗旨是传播和创造知识,Education is aimed to spread and create knowledge,教育同时可以培养一个人的人品和人格shape personality。
电脑能否代替教师题目:不能。
原因是:⑴电脑可以传播知识,但是无法创造知识,而教师可以。
⑵教师可以培养一个学生的人品人格,而电脑不可以。
㈣ Democracy
民主的社会应该使公民的人权Human Rights得到保证,并做到对每个个体有同等equality的待遇。
三、主体具体拓展精解
※(重点练习题目)
讲义P4:With the urbanization of the society, many people in the outskirts have immigrated to cities. This causes some inconvenience to the cities, such as overpopulation or upgrading crime rates. Give your reasons for their migration and offer your suggestions to alleviate the problem.
