在雅思考试当中,有一类题目最让考生摸不着头脑。这类“像雾像雨又像风”的题目总称抽象类题,话题主要集中在一些价值形态的考查上。下面小编就和大家分享碰到雅思写作中的“模糊”题目怎么办,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。
碰到雅思写作中的“模糊”题目怎么办
总的来说,抽象题也分两种,第一种是完全抽象。所谓“完全抽象”,即整个题目都看似飘渺,这种题目给人思维发散的空间比较大。如一道大作文题:
Some people think young people should be free to choose his or her job,but other people think they should be realistic and think more about their future. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
对于这道题,我们首先可以想一下“Free to chose”是指怎样随心所欲?这种选择往往是基于自己的兴趣爱好或是起薪,也或者是工作条件。那么第一个论点的解释就出来了:The youngsters' occupational choice always lies in their own interest, initial payment or work conditions like company locations.
第二个论点说应该多考虑一下“future”,其中包括工作长久稳定或者是可以获得一个长远的自我提升:The permanence of career or the self-cultivation opportunity has also been taken into consideration by some job seekers. There is a case in China that working in the government means being a civil servant forever without worrying about losing job.
定义完了两种观点的明确意思,那么在分别的主体段就可以充分来论证这种选择对自己是不是更有利。
第二种抽象题为暗藏抽象。典型例题是剑8当中test1的大作文题:
Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
很多人可能忙着去讨论老师和家长的重要性了,为何不停下笔来,来注意一下“good member of society” 这个暗藏的抽象名词呢?
范文里考官的定义是:In order to be a good member of any society the individual must respect and obey the rules of their community and share their values. 首先在主体段第一句话表明自己对社会好成员的三个特性的理解,接着可以很形象地来论述这些品德是如何在家庭或学校中学到的。
类似的有一道真题:
The qualities a person needs to become truly successful in today's world cannot be learned in university or similar academic institutions. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
拿到这道题,先不要急着去辩证在学校里都获得了些什么。那么想一下成功需要的品质都包含什么。假如说我们也从三个方面来定义,那么可以说是勤奋,创新和竞争合作意识:
The factors contributing to great achievement have never been associated with the qualifications merely, what matters includes the virtue of diligence, creativeness and the sense of cooperation and competition.
接下来就可以尽情讨论这些品质是否能从大学机构获得了。
综上,“下定义”是为了大事化小,小事化为笔下生花。结构上可以使思路更清晰,语言上可以使文章更立体丰满。所以,考生如果能巧妙使用定义法,那么变最难缠的题型为最喜欢的题型也就手到擒来了。
雅思写作高分技巧:如何写好开头段?
“良好的开端是成功的一半”,有个良好的雅思写作开头段也是相同的道理,写好了开头段离雅思写作高分也就更近一步了。下面是新东方雅思教研组陈蜀东老师根据自己多年的教学经验,针对雅思写作高分技巧:如何写好开头段?给出的写好雅思作文开头的几个简单方法,同学们可以参考参考。
很多国内的考生受到写中文作文或者传统英语(精品课)教学的影响,写一篇文章的开头段时总是想要尽力抓住考官的眼球,不停地摆弄自己还不成熟的词汇和句型,结果非但没有得到想要的分数,反被考官倒打一耙。那么我们要如何在最短的时间内,以最简单以及最能得分的方式写出好的作文开头段呢?
其实我们可以把雅思写作题目中的提问方式分成四个大类:观点类(opinion essay)、讨论类(discussion essay)、优劣势类(advantage and disadvantage essay)和报告类(report)。每一种提问方式的题目都有自己不同的开头段写作方法。
Part 1 Opinion Essay
观察观点类题目的特征,我们不难发现,此类题型的特征是题目有且只有一个观点。而题目要求我们回答的是“同意”或“不同意”的观点。所以只要确定好自己的观点,开头段就可以写出来。 例如:
Some people believe that living in big cities is bad for health.
Do you agree or disagree?
如果,我们选择同意此观点,可以根据“背景句+直接转述题目+个人观点”的公式。
These days, it is quite common to see that a growing number of people choose to settle down in large cities. (背景句) But some people argue that leading an urban life would produce negative influences on people’s health. (直接转述题目) Personally, I agree with this idea. (个人观点)
如果选择不同意题目观点,则可以用“although”的让步状语从句进行改写,得到:
These days, it is quite common to see that a growing number of people choose to settle down in large cities. (背景句) Although some people argue that leading an urban life would produce negative influences on people’s health, (although +直接转述题目) personally, I do not agree with this idea. (个人观点)
Part 2 Discussion Essay
观察讨论类的题目,可以发现,这样的题目会有两个观点,并且题目要求“讨论双方观点”和“给出自己的观点”。这样的题目中,其实只用在开头段中写出背景句和转述双方观点就好了,至于个人的观点,可以放到personal idea的段落中。如:
Some people think citizens should be responsible for their own health costs. Others think it is better to have a health care system which provides free health services.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
这个题目的开头段就可以写为:
People in some countries are paying an increasing amount of money for seeing a doctor, even for a minor illness. (背景句) But, still, some people assert that individuals themselves are supposed to pay for such fees. (一方观点) However, other people disagree and suggest that it is the government’s responsibility to undertake the health costs for its citizens. (另一方观点)
Part 3 Advantages & Disadvantage Essay
优劣势的题目,一般而言都会给出一个现象或者是趋势,这又刚好和我们开头段中的“背景句”吻合了,所以在优劣势文章的开头段的时候就没有必要再写背景句了,直接转述题目就可以了。但是要表达出自己的“优大于劣”或者“劣大于优”的观点,只需要用一句话就搞定了。如:
Shopping online is replacing shopping in stores.
Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
开头段可以写为:
These days, it is common to see that people prefer choosing online shopping to shopping in physical stores. Although some problems would occur as this trend continues, I believe such development brings more benefits.
Part 4 Report
其实report最简单,因为通常题目和优劣势文章一样,会给出一个现象或趋势,所以开头段的组成部分就只有改写题目。如:
In many parts of the world, children and teenagers are committing more crimes.
Why is this happening?
What are the possible solutions to solve this problem?
开头段可以写为:
These days, it is common to see that the rate of youth crime has been increasing dramatically all over the globe and it is a most worrying issue of modern society.
雅思写作范文:企业社会责任
题目是As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
范文:
Businesses have always sought to make a profit, but it is becoming increasingly common to hear people talk about the social obligations that companies have. I completely agree with the idea that businesses should do more for society than simply make money.
On the one hand, I accept that businesses must make money in order to survive in a competitive world. It seems logical that the priority of any company should be to cover its running costs, such as employees’ wages and payments for buildings and utilities. On top of these costs, companies also need to invest in improvements and innovations if they wish to remain successful. If a company is unable to pay its bills or meet the changing needs of customers, any concerns about social responsibilities become irrelevant. In other words, a company can only make a positive contribution to society if it is in good financial health.
On the other hand, companies should not be run with the sole aim of maximising profit; they have a wider role to play in society. One social obligation that owners and managers have is to treat their employees well, rather than exploiting them. For example, they could pay a “living wage” to ensure that workers have a good quality of life. I also like the idea that businesses could use a proportion of their profits to support local charities, environmental projects or education initiatives. Finally, instead of trying to minimise their tax payments by using accounting loopholes, I believe that company bosses should be happy to contribute to society through the tax system.
In conclusion, I believe that companies should place as much importance on their social responsibilities as they do on their financial objectives.
