  雅思寫作審題技巧

在開始審題之前,各位考生首先要明確雅思大作文考題的結構是什麼。總結一下,不難看出,大作文的題目由兩大部分構成,分別是背景信息和考試指令。例如:

Some people say that communication by using computers and phones will have negative effects on young people’s writing and reading skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

1). Some people say that communication by using computers and phones will have negative effects on young people’s writing and reading skills. ---背景信息

2). To what extent do you agree or disagree? ---考試指令

在瞭解了上述考題的組成部分之後,那就要開始審題的過程了。一般,朗閣培訓中心的專家建議先審考試指令,再審背景信息,找出核心詞。這樣做的目的就是先明確文章框架,再去整理文章思路並列出提綱。下文中將對上述兩個方面做一個大致的概括及總結,方便各位考生備考。

一、審考試指令

熟悉雅思寫作的烤鴨都知道,雅思大作文的考試指令基本上常規得分爲4類。定位好提問方式之後就能確定題目類型並規劃出文章框架。

1. (To what extent) do you agree or disagree?

同意不同意的考試指令是雅思出題頻率最高的一種指令,一般建議考生儘量不要使用一邊倒的寫作模式,即完全同意或者完全反對。一般使用一分爲二的觀點看問題能使考生在有限的時間內想到更多的點,並且體現出邏輯上的嚴謹性。建議分成4段式或者5段式。

2. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

雙邊討論題目的特點是考題中會有較典型的some people think… while others believe… 一般建議考生分成4段式來書寫,正文部分先對題目中的觀點論證後,再在結尾段給出自己的觀點。

3. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

優缺點類作文的思路模式和同意不同意的模式基本是差不多的,也是儘量做到兩邊都寫,並重點凸顯某一方面即可。

4. What are the reasons and how to solve them?

報告型作文目前在雅思作文中出現的概率不高,但是也要有一定的準備。不過帶有雙問號的題目文章框架上應該是沒有太大的`問題的,一般建議全文四段式,除了開頭結尾,正文部分一段寫原因,一段寫措施。當然在一些高分作文中也能見到原因措施結合起來的寫法。因此,兩種寫法都有可取之處,只要言之有理即可。

二、掃除考題信息陷阱

在做這一步工作的時候,首先要向考生們強調一下容易被忽視的部分,這樣在審題過程中能做到事半功倍。

1. 生詞(難詞)

對於考生來說,遇到讀不懂的題目是最頭疼和鬱悶的一件事了。平時積累了那麼多的背景詞彙和多樣的語法都會因爲這個原因而不能一展拳腳。其實,考生也不用太沮喪,在有些情況下,生詞也是可以猜出來的。

(1). 可通過上下文猜意思的

我們舉一個例子:

Some people believe that famous people’s support towards international aids organizations draws the attentions to problems. Others think thatcelebrities make the problems less important. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

在讀完這道題目之後,部分考生在題目中碰到了生詞celebrities, 並且它作爲主語(動作的實行者)出現在了對立方的觀點上。根據經驗表達,discuss both views的文章基本上雙方兩個觀點的主語應該保持一致或者討論相同範疇的話題,因此celebrities應該和前面的主語famous people是有相同意思的,那很明顯就能猜出是名人的意思了。

(2). 完全不能推測,只能靠平時積累

在有些特殊的情況下,不得不承認,考官爲了增加題目理解的難度,也會在題幹中加入一些生僻詞彙。比如:

There is an increasing number of juvenile delinquency. Analyze the possible causes that give rise to this phenomenon and offer some feasible recommendations.

讀完這道題,很多考生基本上就栽在了juvenile delinquency這2個詞上,完全不懂是什麼意思,另外上下文中基本也沒有什麼語境可以推測出意思的。其實,如果降低一點難度就可以寫成teenager crime, 那基本上大部分考生都認識了。因此,朗閣培訓中心的專家建議各位還是要加大詞彙的背誦,有益而無害。

2. 絕對化單詞

所謂絕對化的表達,其實在閱讀和聽力的選擇題上一般也都會有,常見的連接詞有the best, all, the only等。碰到類似於這種類型的題目,一般都會建議考生持否定的觀點,從而體現邏輯的緊密性。比如:

(1). The only way to improve road safety is to have severe punishment to the road offences. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(2). Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Any there any other measures?

分析一下,第一道題裏出現了only這個單詞,表示是唯一一種方式來改善道路安全,明顯出題思路太過侷限,其實考生應該能很容易想到其他方法,例如增加駕照考試的難度,改善道路設計等。

同理,第二題裏出現了the best這個詞,也是侷限性的表達,對於緩解交通壓力和解決污染問題,一方面可以改善公共交通,另一方面也能使用清潔能源。

3. 舉例詞

從現在的考試趨勢來看,舉例詞在題幹信息中出現的還是挺多的,一般常用的就是for example或者such as. 比如:

(1). Students in universities and colleges are learning more lessons with teachers than from other sources (for example Internet, television). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(2). Many countries use fossil fuels as main energy. However, in some countries, alternative energy, such as wind and solar energy is widelyencouraged. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

朗閣培訓中心的專家建議各位考生,如果考試時碰到這種含有舉例詞的題幹信息,一般情況所想的觀點或羅列的思路都是基於它給出的例子,其他的都不建議寫。

比如說第一題中的other sources最好就是寫internet and television給學生的好處,不要牽扯到手機或者廣播。同樣,第二題中的alternative energy也只是重點寫wind and solar, 其餘類似於nuclear power or hydro power就不要寫了。這樣做的最終好處是絕對不會偏題。

4. 平行結構

總結一下歷年的題目,一般來說平行結構出現的概率較低,但是它也是需要特別注意到的,偶爾一不留心就會導致task response部分失分。比如說:

In many countries, traditional food is being replaced by international fast foods. This is having a negative effect on both families and societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

分析一下,這道題的平行結構是出現在了由both…and...的連接詞構成的短語上。由此,考生在回答這道題目時,既要分析fast food對於families的影響,同時也要兼顧societies, 省略其中的任意一個都是不可以的。

三、確定考題背景,找出題目關鍵詞

通過背景信息,我們可以找到的是關於這道寫作題目的具體的寫作話題、考官觀點,以及劃出題幹中的關鍵詞,並進行適當的同義轉換。

Some people say that communication by using computers and phoneswill have negative effects on young people’s writing and reading skills.

1. 紅色字體的by using computers and phones可以幫助我們快速定位到本次考試是一道非常經典的科技類話題,關於電腦和手機的使用。那大家在課堂上學習到的關於網絡和手機的利弊就可以快速的進行一定的回憶。

2. 紫色字體的have negative effects on是考官對於communication by using computers and phones的一個明確的態度提示詞。既可以幫助我們明確觀點,這種消極的態度的同義轉化相信各位烤鴨在朗閣課堂上也做過一定的積累,比如have/exert a detrimental/harmful influence on/be unfavorable to/be disadvantageous to/have drawbacks/demerits to…

3. 藍色字體的writing and reading skills是這道題目的限定詞,任何偏離這個限定詞的觀點都是錯誤的,比如寫到myopia, distraction, violent and pornographic information等,因此謹慎審題是得高分的關鍵。

還是以這道題目爲例:

Some people believe that famous people’s support towards international aids organizations draws the attentions to problems. Others think that celebrities make the problems less important. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

審題分析:

Some people believe that famous people’s support towardsinternational aids organizations draws the attentions to problems. Others think that celebrities make the problems less important. ---背景信息

背景信息出現了2個對立的觀點,以典型的some people believe that…others think…的形式出現。

1. 紅色字體的famous people’s support可以讓我們知道此次話題是和media有一定的關係的,主要是放在了名人的影響力上,對立觀點態度分別爲draw the attention及less important。

2. 關鍵詞的同義轉換

(1). Famous people—celebrities--或是具體化主語,比如top stars/successful entrepreneurs/influential politicians

(2). Support—help—give support to(動詞,名詞間的交替使用)

(3). Draw the attentions—attract the public attention--arouse the public concern

(4). Important--vital/significant/crucial/critical/essential

3. 藍體字體的international aids organizations是這道題的對象,即國際慈善組織,任何脫離這個對象的觀點都會被認爲偏題,不過考生可以通過這個組織去聯想它經常做的事情。

四、頭腦風暴,羅列觀點

正文部分分別討論兩方觀點:

Body 1: public figures—play an active and leading role in some sensational events—easily arouse media awareness--shoulder the social responsibilities

Body 2: efforts are too trivial to solve some cross-border problems, such as global warming

綜上所述,雅思大作文的審題一般包括:

1. 先通讀一遍題目,找出考試指令,確立文章框架

2. 再細讀題幹信息,掃除一些陷阱

3. 劃出關鍵詞,並進行適當的同義轉化

4. 頭腦風暴,想出與題目相關的一些觀點

5. 動筆書寫
