第一篇:雅思寫作考試的注意事項
雅思寫作考試的七大注意事項
雅思寫作是一種綜合語言能力的考查,這個能力包括考生對文章結構、內容和語言的把握。除此之外,考生還要注意以下幾點:
一,時間安排
雅思寫作要求考生在一個小時之內完成一篇至少150個單詞的說明文或信件(20分鐘)和一篇至少250個單詞的議論文(40分鐘)。考生需合理安排時間。
疑問:先寫Task1還是Task 2?
建議考生先簡后難,Task 1盡量控制在20分鐘內完成,然后安心寫Task 2。所以考生在考前一定要多練多寫,掌握時間。
二,字數
雅思寫作字數是有下限的,但沒有上限,所以很多考生都有疑問,到底多少單詞的文章可以拿到高分。當然這沒有絕對的限制,但據統計看來,大多數的高分小作文字數都在180左右,而大作文也在280左右。
疑問:字數不夠怎么辦?
就Task 1 而言,說明該考生對圖表的分析能力還有待提高,多練習看圖審題構思。如果Task 2字數不夠,說明考生思路不開闊,論據無法擴展,考生需增加閱讀量,多看和雅思寫作話題相近的文章和精讀雅思范文來掌握論據擴展方法。
三,標題與格式
雅思的大小作文都不需要題目。雅思寫作有兩種格式:一是空行不空格式,即文章每段開頭頂格寫,段與段之間空一行;二是空格不空行,即除首段頂格外,文章每段開頭空五個字符,段與段之間不空行。
四,機經
雅思考試是非常系統而且專業的語言水平測試,它有著龐大的題庫,有些題目也會重復出現,所以考生可以通過以往考題,即機經充分把握寫作題型,話題等,為考生做好充分準備。
疑問:要不要背范文?
背范文對提高考生的英語語言水平有很大幫助,但考生要明確背范文的目的是吸收其中的精華,如觀點、語言、結構等,而不是在考生時遇到相同題目全盤照搬,否則被考官發現,將影響最后的得分。
五,評分。
通過第二節我們已經掌握了雅思大小作文的評分標準。大小作文在寫作中所占比例大約是6比4??梢奣ask 2 在最后寫作得分中所占比重較大,但也不能忽略Task 1。疑問:卷面不整潔會否扣分?
潦草的字跡和不整潔的卷面將在一定程度上影響考官理解文章內容,影響評卷心情,從而影響得分。
六,時態
圖表作文通常會給出特定的時間,考生要根據此時間決定文章的時態。通常情況下有以下三種情況:過去時間用一般過去式,現在時間或沒給出時間用一般現在式,預測用一般將來式。議論文根據內容確定時態。
七,學術類文章的一些文體注意事項
讓我們通過具體的例子來了解此類文章書寫和文體的特點
1.N2O wasn’t produced until 1990, after which, its production grew rapidly.雅思文章為正式文體,所以盡量不要出現縮寫,wasn’t 建議寫成was not。
2.The bottles are first divided by color into clear, brown and clear ones which are then washed by high-pressurised water.拼寫出現問題。在雅思寫作中,英式和美式拼寫都接受,但我們還是盡量做到兩者不混淆。如or 和our, se和 ze。or 和ze 為美式拼寫,而our 和se為英式拼寫。
3.Nowadays, more and more people have private cars.more and more 詞匯過于簡單,我們可以用an increasing number of 來替代。
4.Let all of us make great efforts to construct a more civilised China!
此句子喊口號,抒發情感。雅思大作文為議論文,不需要任何形式的情感抒發和口號,所以這句話不適合這樣的語言環境。
第二篇:雅思口語考試注意事項
雅思口語考試注意事項
1.考官與你剛見面的時候,可能會跟你打招呼,問“How are you(doing)?”相信大部分同學第一反應是“Fine, thank you, and you?”其實外國人對這個回答是相當反感的。因為幾乎每個人的回答都是“Fine, thank you”。你哪怕來句“I am good.”都比那句標準回答強。其實回答這個問題只要根據自己的實際情況回答就好了,比如“Not bad.”,“I am a little nervous.”,“Great!”等。
2.在ID check的時候,考官會說“Good morning/afternoon, my name is X, can you tell me your full name, please?”首先,考官說了good morning/afternoon,也就是他跟你打招呼,所以在回答的時候,如果你也先說一句good morning/afternoon顯得比較有禮貌。在能記住考官的名字的時候,回答時加上名字顯得更有禮貌,更尊重考官。但當然,如果考官說完名字之后你沒記住,這時就不要硬說,因為把人家名字說錯是非常沒禮貌的事,這樣反而得不償失。另外還要注意的是,在說名字的時候不要說Mr.John,John是名字,不是姓,Mr.后面是跟姓而非名。如果你不肯定考官說的是姓還是名,不要加什么Mr.或Ms.比較穩妥。
此外,回答full name的時候直接按中文順序回答就可以了。比如張三,那么就直接說“My name is Zhang San.”。因為這一步是要檢查你ID上的名字是否跟你說的一致,按身份證上的順序回答即可。
3.考官在開始考試前,會跟你說他需要錄音,不用緊張,按正常發揮即可。
4.在part 1中,一般會問3個topics,每個topic大概4個問題,也就是一共大概12個問題。其中第一個topic是you study/work,your hometown,your home三個其中一個。topic與topic的轉換很快,通常考官會說“Let’s talk about X now.”,然后就開始下個topic。雖然這句話聽似毫無意義,但這是對接下來的話題的提示,有助于幫助你對之后的問題的理解,同時也能猜到接下來大概會是些什么問題。
5.在考試當中,考官有可能不會給你任何反應,畢竟這是一次考試。也有一些考官會給你適當的反應,比如“Ah!”,“Mmm!”,“OK”,“Good!”和“That’s interesting!”等。但除此以外,考官不會多說。因此,在回答問題的時候,不要試圖去問考官問題,比如“I’m from Shanghai, have you been there?”或“I like playing football, do you like it?”等。6.當你沒聽清問題時,可以請考官重復問題。你可以說“Pardon?”,“Sorry?”等。當你不肯定自己理解題目是否正確的時候,你可以問考官“Do you mean…(后面接自己理解的意思)?”像這些問題是可以問的。但當然,同一個問題你pardon好幾次也是不好的。7.回答問題的時候,不要一味追求語速快,更重要的是要做到盡量少錯誤。語速適中,錯誤少以及發音清晰的回答是最好的。
8.哪怕你英語真的不太好,也千萬不要跟考官說“my English is poor”之類的話。要表現得自信大方,給考官留下一個良好的印象。
9.多跟考官做眼神交流,看著對方說話是對對方最起碼的尊重。
10.在考試過程中,盡量不要一直“額??”或者長時間停頓,如果需要爭取多點時間來想問題,可重復考官的問題,或者可以說“That’s an interesting question.”,“I’ve never thought about that, let me see.”等來爭取時間。
11.在考試當中,如果考官打斷你的說話,不用擔心。因為口語考試有時間限制,控制時間也是考官的工作之一,因此當考官覺得他已經能從你的回答中判斷你的英語能力時,就可能會打斷你。
12.在考試中,有些同學有時會發現自己說錯了,然后改過來。但并不是什么情況下改正都是好的。如果你已經在說出這個錯誤之后說了一大段,就不要再回頭改了,這樣會讓考官需要更努力才能聽懂。在種情況下,不要緊張,繼續往下說,以后不要再犯同樣的錯誤就好了。要知道即使是native speaker也會犯語法錯誤,所以作為英語非母語的學生,一點錯誤是能被理解的。
另一方面,如果犯了錯誤,立刻發現,可以立刻糾正,但切忌說出“oh, no”然后再改。在這種情況下,只要很自然地再把話說正確就好了。比如你在說過去的事,說了“I am”,然后你立刻發現錯誤并改,只要這樣就好了:“I am…I was a child, I…”。
13.口語考試結束后,不要問考官你的表現如何之類的問題,因為他們不允許回答你的問題。14.口語考試結束后,不要忘記跟考官道別,比如“Thank you for your time.”,“Have a nice day.”,“See you.”等。
第三篇:雅思寫作備考:雅思小作文寫作注意事項
雅思小作文寫作注意事項
朗閣雅思考試研究中心
很多同學可能對雅思小作文不太重視,甚至是對小作文根本不加練習,只關注大作文。我認為這是一個誤區,因為在評分中小作文畢竟有一定的比重,而且,小作文的寫法掌握起來也并不是特別難,所以同學們還是應該把小作文的分數把握好。
小作文在寫的時候,或者是準備寫的時候,我們應該注意哪幾個問題呢?
一、詞匯的背誦
這個毫無疑問,大家都非常清楚,比如說上升的詞我們可能會背誦很多如:increase、rise、climb、grow、recover等等。但是每一個詞的用法大家也要清楚,例如recover,它是不能在圖表一開始上升的時候用的詞,因為它的本意有恢復,重新贏得之意,所以,像這樣的問題,大家在使用的時候還是要特別注意的,否則在考官看來就會有歧義。
另外,我們還要考慮其他詞匯的多樣使用,即不要反復的用同一個詞匯,例如,一篇文章中講到中國留學生的問題,我們可以用overseas student,也可以用the Chinese students going abroad for higher education這個分詞做定語,當然也可以用the Chinese students who go abroad for higher education這個定語從句來做。
總之,詞匯應用一要注意多變性,二要注意準確性。
二、句式的掌握
小作文句式的背誦與掌握是非常重要的。舉個簡單的例子,比如說我們想表達A在B方面從哪一年到哪一年急劇增長,那么這個時候我們就需要牢牢記住我們至少可以用兩種句式來做,也就是一個是副詞修飾動詞:A increased dramatically in B from …to …,另一個就是用名詞形式,我們用there be結構:There was a marked growth in A from …to …
除此之外,我們在大作文當中用到的句式多樣性,在小作文當中同樣使用,有的同學覺得小作文比較簡單,字數也不多,所以不假思索的全部用簡單句來寫,這同樣是不可取的。全部用簡單句會給別人很急促、節奏太快的感覺,所以不論是大作文還是小作文我們都應該長句短句交替進行。
三、寫作的重點
小作文寫什么,這是很多考生頭疼的一個問題。題目中會有大量的數據,這個我們根據題目的要求去做是最直接的解決辦法。題目中會有這樣的要求:Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.也就是說我們所需要寫的是圖表的主要特點,另外再需要比較的地方就一定要進行比較。掌握了這一點,再輔以我們的練習,我想在寫作內容和重點的選取上我們就不會有太大的問題了。
四、數據的使用
小作文最明顯的一個特征就是在圖表型文章中會有大量的數據,我們除了要把它的主要特點趨勢寫出來,還要注意數據的引入。因為這類文章是說明文,只有你自己的說明文字,沒有相關數據的引入,同樣顯得沒有生氣、缺乏說服力。
五、段落的分配
很多同學小作文得六分可能不那么難,但是得6.5或7分就有很大的難度,筆者認為段落的分配是起很大作用的,當然要保證你在以上四點都有很好的表現。我們非常清楚,小作文主要分三部分:開頭段、主體段、結尾段,這是一個大綱。在主體段部分,如果你能根據具體的圖表情況,把它有所組合,那么說明你在分析題目、分析數據的能力上要勝人一籌。也就是說,你可以根據具體情況,把變化形勢相同或相近的放到一起去寫,進行重新組合,這樣的話,勝算就要大一些。
總之,在小作文的寫作上,考生同樣不可忽視,把握好以上的幾個方面,希望對大家能夠有所幫助。

第五篇:雅思寫作5.5分考試答案
Task 1 Underground Railways Systems
The table shows some details about underground railway systems in six cities, namely, London, Pairs, Tokyo, Washington DC, Kyoto and Los Angeles.London was the first city that opened underground railways systems in 1863, while Los Angels was the last one in 2001.As for the other four countries, all of them opened the underground railways in 1900s.The route in London is also the largest, approximately 400 kilometers.Those of Pairs, Tokyo and Washington DC are between 100 and 200 kilometers.The lengths of underground railways are short in Kyoto and Los Angeles(11 kilometers and 28 kilometers respectively).Tokyo with 155 kilometers of route has the largest amount of passengers(1927 millions).It is followed by that of Pairs, London and Washington DC.Passengers in Kyoto and Los Angeles are similar, around 50 millions.In conclusion, the underground railway system in London is the oldest and the longest, while that in Tokyo serves the largest number of people.By contrast, Kyoto and Los Angeles have new and small size systems.Task 2 Family relationship is not as close as before.Along with the development of the society, more and more problems are brought to our attention, one of which is that families are not as close as before.To my mind, this is one of the side-effects brought about by the modern world.There are a number of reasons for this phenomenon.Firstly, with social advance, people are now more integrated with the society and thus less dependent on their families.Apart from their families, they can easily get help from their friends in a shorter time than before, and it is much easier to make more friends now as a result of rapid improvement in telecommunications.Secondly, the outside world is becoming more charming and fascinating, and people tend to share more time with their friends, colleagues or business partners in their leisure time instead of their families.Thirdly, in the modern society, social competition is getting increasingly fierce;consequently, people have to devote more time and energy to their career.They also feel the urgent need to broaden their scope and knowledge and upgrade themselves so as not to lag behind others.Since family is the basic unit of a society, this issue should be well taken into consideration.As to how to bring families closer, people put forward various suggestions.First of all, the most important approach is through education.Parents should not only set a good example but also instill into their children from their childhood family concept so that they value family in their whole life.Secondly, all family members should try to squeeze some time for family activities such as a regular family dinner together.Dinner time is indeed a perfect time and opportunity for people to exchange their feelings and ideas, which is quite conducive to a more harmonious family relationship.Furthermore, the government should organize some public activities to promote the time-honored concept of family, to call on people to treasure the basic bonds of human life and give awards to some happy families in recognition of their strive for a better family relationship.In order to enjoy a harmonious family life, our government and ordinary citizens should join hands in the efforts to create an atmosphere in which domestic peace is highly valued.Only in this way can we further ensure the harmony of our whole society.
