如何面對雅思考試作文
對于雅思考試中的大作文,想要獲得高分,寫好開頭是尤為重要的。為了寫出來的內容能夠吸引考官的眼球,不少同學冥思苦想各種高級詞匯。為大家總結出幾條實用性高,又能順利引出下文的經典作文開頭,幫助大家獲得高分。
導入句和主題句,二者缺一不可。而導入句又分為背景導入句和觀點導入句。考慮到主題句和觀點導入句都是屬于非常簡單的環節,小編接下來將重點講解背景導入句的寫法。我們先來看一個引言段:
Thanks totechnological advances, we have spawned numerous products like the computersand the Internet and thusaltered our lifestyles completely.However, somepeople argue that the recent technologies have destroyed the bondbetweenfamilies and friends and brought much more negative effects to the society.Personally, I would disagree.這是一個標準的50字左右的雅思大作文引言段,應該說總體寫得還是很流暢的,比如它的導入句意思銜接合理,觀點鮮明且導入題目充分,所以這樣一個
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 引言段若是能夠在考場中寫出來的話應該可以滿足大部分考生的期望。然而,如果我們深入分解了這個引言段后,我們其實不難發現,寫法技巧上非常樸實,第一個句子是對于題目的背景描述,第二個句子給出了第三方的立場,而最后一個句子表明了自己的態度。
下面如何面對雅思考試作文
在拿到一個考題后,首先當然我們必須把它認真仔細得閱讀2-3遍,然后在心里默默地翻譯給自己聽。在充分理解了題目以及寫作指令后,接著就要進行立場的選擇,這里需要特別強調的是審題結束后馬上就給出一個明確的立場是很必要的,它也在很大程度上決定了引言段一上來的幾個句子的意思選擇。我們在引言段最初的1到3個句子里是對考題的背景導入,要做好這一步,我們還是得從2個簡單句說起,即主謂賓和主系表。所有接下來的句子,不論長短,都是從這2種簡單句發展出來的。我們在創造這2個句子時,主系表通常是從主語的功能、作用和影響這3個方面入手。那主語又是什么呢?一般來說,在主系表這個結構中的主語,可以是考題中直接涉及的某個名詞,也可以是圍繞這個核心名詞的一些外圍名詞,舉個例子來講:
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
Shoppinghas become a favorite pastime for some young people.Do we need to encourageyoung people to do somethingmore useful in their free time? What is youropinion?
這個題目的核心詞匯當然就是“shopping”這一詞了,若采用主系表原創背景導入句的話,一般我們是以這個詞作為句子的主語,但是如果我們再思考一下,其實“pastime”或者是它的近義詞也是可以作為句子的主語的。兩者的區別在于直接用“shopping”作主語寫出來的句子就直接和題目產生了關系,馬上就充分引入了背景;而使用“pastime”或者是近義的名詞作為主語的話可能我們還需要再寫1到2個句子才能將題目涉及的背景充分導入到引言段中。但是這2種構思其實都還是非常不錯的。我們不妨再來通過另外一個題目加深對剛才這種主語選擇的理解:
People arenow able to perform everyday tasks such as shopping, banking, businesstransactions without meetingothers face-to-face.What are the effects on bothindividuals and the society as a whole?
這個考題的核心詞匯就不如之前那個題目那么容易找到了,我們需要具備一
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 定的概括能力才能使用諸如“modern lifestyle”或者“e-commerce”之類的詞來作為第一句話的主語。同時,在題目中它涉及的幾個例子,像在線銀行交易,網購等其實也可以作為主語,2類主語選擇的區別我想大家應該可以通過前面一個例子的分解明白了吧?
會選合適的主語以后,接著我們就來選擇恰當的表語,盡管我們無需講出表語的定義,但是首先有必要講一下表語的詞性,有3種,名詞,形容詞和不定式。只有知道其3種詞性,我們才能準確地選擇詞匯。在主語確定后,我們就通過對于主語的功能、作用和影響3方面入手,在名詞、形容詞和不定式里選擇一種來造句。比如:
Televisionis a powerful tool of communication.在這個句子中,作者通過對電視功能的介紹,使用名詞作為表語成功地造出了這個首句。又如:
Computersare now essential in our daily life.上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
作者在這個句子中利用了形容詞作表語解釋了電腦在現在生活中的影響。
Somepeople think that environmental problems are too big for individuals to dealwith.Others, however, think thateach individual should take some actions.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.從這個考題題干中我們可以“提取”的名詞為:environmentalproblem;environment;environmental
protection;individualactions等。接下來我們就可以將這些詞作為主語來創造一個簡單句,用上篇講到的2種句式和思路,比如說我們選擇最后一個詞組,然后使用主系表結構,從其影響的角度切入,就有了以下這個“草稿”句:Individual actions seem insignificant.盡管這個句子不是我們最終寫到作文里的句子,但是至少第一步我們已經用“原創”的方式將題干很好地進行了“引入”,只是我們需要進一步對這個句子進行修改和擴充。在進行“潤色”時,我們一般會從主語前的定語、動詞的程度或頻率、表語或賓語的修飾詞及對比等方面進行擴展,經過第一輪擴展后,上述
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 的句子就變為了:
Our tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale andcomplexity of global environmentalproblems such as pollution, deforestationand depletion of natural resources.這樣一來,我們發現原來一個簡單句經過加工以后可以寫得那么長。但是這樣一個“不錯”的句子也并非是最后的版本,因為當我們對一個簡單句完成了“文字修飾”后,我們可以再對句式進行提升。在這里,我給大家講一個很實用的擴展方法,叫做“廣義化”,也就是說,當你完成的這個簡單句的意思代表大多數人的意見的時候,我們可以在這個句子前增加主語從句,從而使其具有“廣泛性”。剛才的句子經過了這樣的加工后就變成了:
It is true that our tiny individual actions often seem insignificantcompared to the scale and complexity of global environmental problems such aspollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources.上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
這樣一來,大家是不是覺得這個句子寫得更好了呢?的確,經過“廣義化”以后,原本的簡單句就變成了一個名詞性從句,從句式上提升了檔次。類似的“廣義化”引導句型其實并不是只有這一個,里面的詞是可以根據實際意思進行靈活改變的,比如我們還可以用It is generally believed that…; Common sense tells us that… 等,同時,也并不是每個簡單句都非要擴展,具體還是要看意思的安排而定。下面我們再來看一個題目:
Somepeople believe that improve public health should increase the number of sportsfacilities;others believe that it has little effects and need other measuresto improve it.Discuss both views and give your opinion.從這個考題的題干中我們可以“提取”的名詞為publichealth;sports facilities等。接著我們可以用主謂賓的簡單句,從“被動”的角度原創一個句子:Sports facilitiesare needed.上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
在此基礎上,我們繼續對這個句子的成分進行擴充:The construction of new sports facilities are definitelyneeded.經過了這樣的擴展,我們不難發現句子已經初現規模了,但是結合了題干的意思后我們需要再進行一系列文字加工,因為從這個句子的意思上來說,似乎缺少了一個“地點狀語”,因為并不是所有城市中都一定需要新建體育設施,所以我們就有了下面的改進:The construction of new sports facilities are definitelyneeded in an environment where people's health is ina declining state.這樣一個句子大家是不是覺得很“體面”了呢?那么這個句子我們是否也需要“廣義化”的擴展呢?回答是否定的,因為在這個句子中,我們已經通過增加地點狀語的方式為其設置了一定的條件,再為了句式復雜而刻意增加從句就顯得不是很有必要了,同時,從它的中文意思上來說,也不一定能夠得到大部分人的“認可”,所以這個句子我們就不用再進一步擴展了。
通過對上述2個真題的詳解,想必大家已經對背景導入句如何進行“原創”
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 有了一定的認識了吧?接著我們來看后續的寫法。在第一個背景導入句完成以后,我們需要判斷接下來有沒有必要再增加一個背景導入句,如果沒有必要的話,我們就可以直接寫自己的主題句或者給出一個第3方觀點后再寫主題句。
判斷的依據主要是看這個句子是否已經將題干“充分”導入到了文章里。而要進行準確的判斷,我們主要的方法還是將寫完的這個句子的意思翻譯一下,然后再去和題干的意思比較一下就一目了然了。比如上面的2個句子,通過翻譯,我們不難看出,第1個句子已經將題干的意思“充分導入”到作文里了,而第2個句子似乎還沒有做到這一點,所以接下來第1個題目我們可能只需要直接給出觀點即可,而第2個題目我們則需繼續對題干進行導入。
之前我們提到了背景導入句如果已經將題干“充分導入”進作文中的話,則無需繼續進行背景描述,但若沒有做到這一點,我們則需要繼續“導入”,這時候我們一般會使用2種方式,第一種是直接給出一個第三方觀點,或者也叫做甲方乙方的觀點;另外一種方式則是通過“因果關系”繼續發展背景導入句,使其充分將題干引入。我們先來將上篇中使用的2個考題的引言段補寫完整:
It is truethat our tiny individual actions often seem insignificant
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ compared to the scaleand complexity of global environmental problems such as pollution,deforestation and depletion of natural resources.But that does not relieveour duty as individuals to do as much as we can to deal with these problems.第一個考題由于背景導入句已經將題干充分導入到作文中,所以我們在它之后直接寫了一個主題句來結束引言段的全部內容。而我們再來看看另外一個考題的完整開頭:
Theconstruction of new sports facilities are definitely needed in an environmentwhere people's health is in a declining state.However, there are those whobelieve that the way to improving people's health should lie in other measuresthat governments have to come up with to get people to live more healthily.我們可以發現,在第一個背景導入句寫完以后,作者又增加了一個“觀點導入句”,即某些人的立場。由于他并沒有想在開頭段就表明自己的立場,因此引言段就“缺省”了主題句,但是看完這個引言段后我們不難發現它的語言組織還
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 是很流暢的。以下我們再一起來看一個例子:
Newspapershave become an enormous influence on people’s ideas and opinions.Why is thisthe case? Is it a desirable or undesirable situation?
從這個題干中,我們可以提取的名詞為newspaper;media等,經過一定的擴展,可以寫出下面的背景導入句:
In almostevery modern society, newspapers have been playing an essential role in shaping people’s thoughts on awide range of issues and are always regarded as an indispensable source of information.在這個導入句里,我們分別使用了2個主謂賓的簡單句組合成了一個并列句,第一個句子從主語的“影響/作用”入手;而第二個句子則使用“被動語態”作為意思的切入方法。再加上了狀語等修飾成分的擴展,從而寫出了以上這個背景導入句。從效果來說,這個句子的意思已經將題干的內容充分引入到了文章里,上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 因此,我們只需要在這個句子后直接給出自己的觀點或主題即可:
In my opinion, this complex phenomenon can be boiled down to several key factors, andboth its positive and negative aspects need to be analyzed thoroughly.接著我們來說觀點導入句的寫法,一般來說,構成它的主要句式為賓語從句和同位語從句,而它和背景導入句之間的邏輯關系可以是因果關系,也可以是轉折關系。換句話說,若這個第三方觀點的意思是順著之前的背景導入句的,則用因果連詞;倘若與前面的背景導入句的意思相反或不一致,則需使用轉折連詞。
此外,在寫觀點導入句時我們還需注意幾點:一是觀點導入句表示的是甲方或乙方的觀點,因此在主語的選擇上不能太絕對,不能出現“all the people;most people”等詞;第二是觀點導入句一般只需要寫一個即可,不要同時將所有觀點都導入進你的作文,否則可能會使文章觀點不清晰和“臃腫”。第三點是觀點導入句的寫作目的是為了簡化后面的主題句,因此,當你寫完一個觀點導入句后,主題句通常只需要對其表達贊同或反對即可,而無需重新再把立場講一遍。最后一點要注意的是觀點導入句是可寫可不寫的。下面我們來看一個例子:
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
Somepeople argue that the technology such as mobile phone(cell phone)destroyssocial interaction.Do you agree or disagree?Technologicaladvances in the past decades have changed the lifestyles around the world andspawned new products such as mobile phone, the Internet, to name just a few.However,some people argue that social interaction has been influenced and evendestroyed by those latest technologies.Personally, I strongly oppose this statement.在這個引言段中,由于第一個背景導入句從意思上來說是“好的,積極的”,若順著其意思繼續發展下去應該是講“好的”影響,而作者給出的第三方觀點的內容其實是與其相反的,因此,這個觀點導入句和前面的背景導入句之間就是一個“轉折”關系。
而由于已經有了一個立場,最后作者只需要對其表態即可。這樣的一個引言段,從寫作流程來講是非常實用的,因此考生一定要掌握其寫作思路。
上海新航道學校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
最后,我們再來說一下主題句的寫法,其實這個環節已經比較容易了,我們只要記住常用的幾種主題句的句型即可。一般來說,跟在觀點導入句后的主題句我們都用簡單句來寫,只需要表達贊同或者反對的態度;而跟在背景導入句后的主題句,我們則可以使用賓語從句,表語從句等名詞性從句來寫,如:I agree that…; My view is that…等。

3.用納稅人的錢修路,改善交通狀況
To construct and maintain roads is a public service administered by the government.However,swheresdoes the money come from? Somebody believe that the government should allocate money from national finance on the road construction;but others think that the roads are constructed for people, so every tax-payer has the responsibility for constructing and maintaining the roads.It is so called“What is taken from the people is used in the interests of the people.”
To the first opinion, since government is the administrative organ, it has
responsibility to do overall plan on those public services of city construction, including constructing the road.They think that the government should do plan and allocate every penny on all things concerning people’s life.However in reality, the government cannot do all specific plans and money allocations on every detail concerning the society running.It only has the right of macro-adjustment and control.To be specific on the road construction, many people believe that based on the principle above, since the road is constructed for the
convenience of people themselves, every tax-payer has duty to devote a little on the road construction, which is not only for the city overall plan, but also for their own use fundamentally.Once the constructions finish, the roads will be wider and longer, the facilities along the roads will be better in use, by then people could further improve their working efficiency, etc..As I know, the second opinion is more reasonable and feasible, because it has two advantages: 1.The government could reduce heavy burdens, simplify and make clear the usage of money;2.Tax-payers are clear about the usage of money they turn over, thus improve the transparency.Therefore, it is a good measure for both sides to allocate money from the tax paid by people on the road construction.4.遺失信----財物遺失在民航班機上,寫信給機場海關請求幫助

5.有人給學校捐款,建議如何使用。
Dear President, November 11, 1999
I'm very happy to hear that a famous author has donated considerable money to our institute.And I think we could use it to establish an education fund to aid our teachers to study abroad.Firstly, teachers could increase their teaching level and enrich their knowledge by studying aboard.For teachers of a language institute, this kind of experience is really necessary.Teachers would consider that as a kind of prize and therefore work harder for that.Secondly, our institute could be benefited from doing that.Since we could provide the overseas-studying chance for our teachers, graduates with high score in the Normal Colleges are more willing to come to our institute.Thirdly, that will help our students.Our last year's survey showed that 65% of our students prefer the language teachers who had overseas-studying experience.In a word, I think that using the donated fund to assist our teachers to study abroad is a good way to promote the healthy development of our institute.Please take good consideration of my advice.Thanks!

8.給小孩零用錢的利與弊(Pocket Money)
With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable.But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children's needs in all-round.One method to solve this ontradiction is to give children some pocket money.Pocket money is useful to children.But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money.There are two viewpoints about the pocket money.Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious.Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage.In my opinion,both of them are partially reasonable.Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages.With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like.It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange.Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money.Others insist that there are undoubtedly some disadvantages in spending pocket money.First, young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents.Some parents cosset their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money.Such conditions will make children become more and more prodigal.Second, since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.Judging these two viewpoints above-mentioned, I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money.There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite;the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them;for a costly merchandise, parents themselves should take children to buy it.With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.9.父母是否應該花更多的時間同子女在一起
In China, both of the parents have their jobs.With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions.Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children.In my point of view, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children.First, the love between children and adults will be improved by spending more time on their children.Children could feel parents' affection through the genial conversation and sharing their pleasure with them.Every time when parents take them to amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.Second, children need the direction from their parents.There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, corruption, violence and eroticism and so on.Children have weak resistance in defending this detrimental influence.In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth.Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do.In addition, if parents often spend time in staying with their children, adults' good behaviors will greatly influence their children.Here I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time on children.Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests.Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy works.10.你因病住院,寫表揚信,表揚醫護人員的醫德,服務,環境衛生
Dear Sir:
I am a business man from America, and my name is David Smith.Last month it was the first time that I traveled to Beijing for business, signing a contract with a Chinese food company.Unfortunately I got a bad flu and then had a fever.I was sent to your hospital.Because my temperature was nearly 40 degree centigrade, I was asked to be in hospital.I worried about my business and the delay of signing the contact will lead to great losses to my company.However, After the doctors' careful treatment and

11.Children learn best by observing the behavior of adults and copying it.The Process of growing up is very complex for children.Among countless factors that influence children's growth, the behavior of adults plays a significant role in shaping children's inclination and character.After the baby is born, the first and the nearest adults are his/her parents.Although the baby is just slur pronunciation, the little baby has started to learn from their parents by observing and copying the adults' talk.This learning environment is important for the babies.There is a special case reported by the press.A baby was abandoned when she was born.A sow fed her as a piglet.When she was about eight years old, some villagers found her, her intelligence was just similar to the two-year old baby and all of her behaviors were looked like a pig.From this case, we know child is a “mirror” which will reflect the behavior of the closet adults.Along with the children's growth, adults will influence them much more, such as logical thinking, making decision, cooperation with others, etc..The behavior of adults can give children both good and bad influence.Most of the behaviors represent adults' inclination.For instance, if media report chiefly on the shadow side of the society, children will easily incline to violence and excessive sex.Therefore, they will be infected with bad mental state.Behavior is a direct and convincing method to teach children.Things are easier said than done.Parents always tell children those principles repeatedly, but most children can not accept it through these boring method.Adults' behavior is the most effective education method to let them observe the whole process of how to deal with the problems.The children will learn from you naturally.Children are like young trees, they need to be carefully irrigated, fertilized and trimmed.Your behavior will be greatly helpful to shape themsintosuseful talents.12.Zoos are sometimes seen as necessary but poor alternative to a natural environment.Is it necessary to keep animals in zoos?
In the modern society, zoos are almost indispensable places in large cities for people to visit.In some large zoos, there are various animals from space to sea, and from primitive invertebrates to advanced and intelligent mammals.In the zoos, all animals, including those rare animals, such as panda, Africa elephant, and North-East tiger, could enjoy good care and protection away from any hurt.However, along with the stronger natural environmental protection consciousness, many people think that to put animalssintossmall cages will change their living instincts, and therefore break the ecological balance.Viewed from the basic relations between animals and human beings, animals should have the equal freedom with human beings.They are all forms of life.Animals have their own living instinct, and it is this instinct that forms the biological chain of the Earth.This relation is called “Ecological Balance” academically.For example, insect-bird-snake.If most birds in a region are killed and lockedsintoscages by human beings, the pests will eat out all crops, and snakes will lose a large part of food(bird)-resources, therefore leading to starvation and death.This opinion sounds ideal theoretically.However in reality, human beings and other animals cannot stay together peacefully on the Earth.Because of human beings' lust for fortune, many valuable animals are killed or sold, especially those endangered species.Therefore, zoos appear as an active way for people to protect those poor animals.First, this is an action not only for animals but also for human being itself.Once the biological chain is broken, human beings will be punished inevitably.Next, zoos can serve a purpose of educating and entertaining people, narrowing the distance between human beings and animals.Last, zoos can be a scientific study center to rescue more endangered spices and make animals better serve people's need.The key point of this topic is freedom or protection.In my opinion, those two aspects can be unified.It is necessary to keep animals in zoos for the purpose of protection, teaching and study.Let's think it further, the purpose of all these actions is to make animals live happier, therefore, maintain the ecological balance, hence protect our own living environment.

文 章 來 源 自 3 e du教 育網Some people prefer planning for the future while others argue that we should focus on the present.What is your opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.真題大意:有人認為應該計劃將來,也有人認為重點就是現在。你同意哪一種想法? 請說出你的道理,并卻從個人的知識或經驗中,舉出例子來證明。
Example Writing:
The present is where everything begins and there is no time like the present.Without being prisoners of the past, winners prefer working in the changing present toward the unpredictable future.The trouble with some people is that they are planning only for the unforeseeable time to nete and not facing the reality now.Paradoxically, the future is now.It is more realistic to regard life as an awareness of the present rather than a prediction beyond knowledge.Since the future is anybody's guess, “one today is worth two tomorrows,” to quote Benjamin Franklin.Therefore, the way we live and the way we work ought to keep in step with the present leading to the future.The logic may be that we can only learn from the past, and on the other hand the future does not affect us now as much as does the present.It also makes sense that the way to plan tomorrow is to enjoy living and working as wisely and beautifully today as possible.Our argument for focusing on today may as well be based on the fact that the present does not sit still for a portrait, but is changing constantly.Change being the law of life, concentrating our mind on what is happening in the present is probably more true to life than dreaming of the future.It means that life for us today is always beneting and never being.Obviously, today has its own problems to be solved, so there is no need to be over troubled about the future.Accordingly, it is better not to foresee the future but be
concerned about taking care of the present.It is one thing to prefer planning for the future, but it is quite another to control the change that follows soon enough.Focusing on the present is more important than merely planning for the future because right now is one of the moments we are influencing our future.Practically, we should see the future in the present which carries more weight in real life.It stands to reason that the future actually begins now.
