雅思大作文技巧——提炼论点
2015-07-30 19:18 新东方网
考生们都知道雅思考官在评判一篇大作文时,除了看文章的结构和语言之外,还很重视这篇文章的主体内容。而中国考生在写essay时常见的一个问题恰恰是考前准备了语言,临场读懂了题目,很快形成了观点,但是却不知该从哪些角度来支持自己的thesis statement。
所以主体段落观点单调,思维陈旧,内容空洞,为达到字数而把一个观点写了再写等问题常常会充斥在文章的body part。这极大地影响了考生的作文成绩。在此,笔者将多年积累的雅思大作文常见论点总结为一首打油诗,以飨读者。
论文观点角度多;
肉体灵魂不放过;
权利平等要把握;
文化道德思路扩;
结合话题多思索;
科技和经济
在雅思论文主体部分写作中,科技角度是使用频率最高的角度。绝大多数作文的话题都可以从科技发展对人的生活带来的影响这个角度来加以分析。例如:
讨论是否将动物用于科学实验:
Development of science and technology has given birth to materialism and capitalism which favor the research for economic growth and freedom of men. Consequently, no spiritual, moral, and traditional values are taken into account.
压力大的原因:
亲情淡漠的原因:
The availability of a great variety of high-tech recreational facilities also diverts people from enjoying chats with the members of their families.
Developing countries lack sufficient numbers of qualified scientists and other skilled personnel to cope with the increasingly serious environmental problems, such as the ozone depletion, the marine pollution and the like.
The development of the telephone created a new market for the employment of women. The position of telephone operators was most often filled by women, creating a new world of opportunities for females to struggle for the equal rights to males.
Another common disadvantage is that playing too much on the computer can cause bad eyesight.
1.高频率的信息切换影响孩子们的耐性。
There is not deny in that with the advent of technology, our patience grows thin.
Media violence affects children by: increasing aggressiveness and anti-social behavior; intensifying their fear of becoming victims; making them less sensitive to violence and to victims of violence; encouraging their appetite for more violence in entertainment and in real life.
For lack of face-to-face contact, modern children tend to be more introverted, unsocial, isolated and indifferent than those kids in last century.
权利和平等
四方的文化在一定程度上可以浓缩为:权利、平等和自由。中国考生在人们该不该做什么事情或行为的时候应该多从这个方面去说服考官。
在写到环境的重要性时,可以说:
All human beings have the fundamental right to an environment adequate for their health and well-being.
在写到小孩子是否应该对自己犯的罪负责时,可以说:
在写到传统的西方道德中对私有财产的尊重时,可以说:
运动员是否应该拿高薪:
Young people’s inexperience and gullibility easily lead then into traps. (个人的原因)
文化和道德
文化和道德本来就是雅四大作文中较难的两个话题,而近来这两个话题考的频率又很高。考生不防也从这两个角度来准备一下主体段落的观点。
反对强势文化入侵:
Globalization might undermine cultural diversity. Multinational corporations promote a certain kind of consumerist culture, in which standard commodities, promoted by global marketing campaigns exploiting basic material desires, create similar lifestyles, which is so-called Coca-Colanization.
The dishonest practice of telling lies will produce a perverse impact on one’s personality.
总之,在大作文的主体段落写作过程中,考生可以将以上的思路结合题目的特点综合应用,切忌生搬硬套。平时在读文章时也要多总结别人的观点角度,而后为我所用。这样定能让你逐渐形成西方的思维习惯,在考试中能才思泉涌,下笔有神。
