以下是小编为大家整理的雅思写作高分技巧(共含7篇),欢迎阅读与收藏。同时,但愿您也能像本文投稿人“合予为”一样,积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
我们都知道雅思写作的要求:语法,词汇,连贯性,诸如此类。我们也受到了很多关于如何达到这些要求的指导:不要有细小的语法错误;运用多样的单词和高级词汇;运用复杂的句型,包括各种从句、倒装句和独立主格结构;注重连词的使用等等。所有这些,只不过是为了让我们在写作上能够多得那么半分或者一分。诚然,词汇、句型和语法都很重要,但是,如果我们仅仅将目光停留在词汇、句型和语法上,写作的高分就永远遥不可及。
为什么呢?让我们想想雅思是怎样的考试。雅思考试考的是考生在英语国家学习和生活的能力,换言之,一切都是以交流沟通为准则的。雅思9分的定义是:像母语者一样地交流。所以,很大程度上说,雅思考的是我们说的、写的够不够像母语者,或者说,够不够地道。
问题就在这里:我们关注的是我们的作文里写了多少复杂的句子,用了多少复杂的单词,却很少想一想:这个词用在这里合不合适,这个句子表达这个意思会不会过于冗长,这样的语法结构所体现出来的语气适不适合这篇文章。最后,我们只能在背单词句型的痛苦和作文分低的纠结构成的泥潭中越陷越深。
因此,雅思作文高分的秘诀,不在于背多少单词,掌握多少句子,而在于我们能不能够恰当地使用这些单词和句子。
为了达到恰到好处地使用单词和句子的境界,我们可以做这么几件事情:
背单词的时候搞清楚单词的感情色彩、惯用语境以及在其他语境中的替换词。单词与单词是不同的,有些单词有贬义的色彩,而有些单词较为中性。有些单词的出现代表语境比较轻松,而有些单词只在学术文章中才会出现。这种情况在英语中是很普遍的,甚至一个字母的改变都会带来这种差别。例如在英文名字中,ERIC和ERIK发音相同,但是后者更有一些邪恶的意味,所以大家都用前者。
多写文章,并将自己的文章与范文进行比对。相信很多考生都做过这个事情,但是现在重点不一样。我们对比的目的是找出来表达不一致的地方,并且深入思考为什么不一致。例如,在英语中主语通常不会太长,如果有复杂的从句作主语,那么这个主语一般会挪到句子末尾,避免头重脚轻的情况。但是,汉语囿于语法结构的限制,很难做到这一点,因此我们在写英语作文时,就有可能写出带着长长的主语的句子,然而这是完全不符合英语的习惯的。多多进行比对而不是盲目背句型,才明白自己的差距所在。
多读原文。网络的好处在于提供给我们一个空前便捷的信息平台,我们要好好利用。如果有时间,多上网看看读读诸如《经济学人》、《时代》这样的报刊,看看英美人士写出来的文章究竟是什么样子。别小看这每天看一点的功夫,如果我们真的用心分析,坚持下来写作一定会突飞猛进。读书破万卷,下笔如有神,这句话不管对中文还是英文,都是有效的。
雅思写作高分技巧要点一:涵盖题目所有要求
拿官方网站最新公布的留学类第一篇作文样题为例,两个图表分别显示的是1985年到1995年日本国民海外游的数量变化以及其中去澳大利亚旅游的人数的变化。在写这篇文章时,考生应首先将十年来日本国民海外游的数量变化趋势以及去澳大利亚的人数变化趋势概括出来,然后进行细化,看其趋势的变化有没有起伏、如何表现等,再对两组数据进行比较,最后进行总结,这样才能充分涵盖题目的要求。如果只是简单的罗列堆砌,不做任何的分析、概括和比较,扣分就难以避免了。所以说小编还是要提醒大家注意要明确雅思写作要求,多总结雅思写作题目。
因此,考生在复习备考阶段不要盲目地练写文章,要多训练提高信息归类和概括能力。
结构清楚,从文章整体来说是讲一篇文章起码要有开头、中间和结尾,每个中间段要有一句主题句总领整段,下面依次展开,最后有一句话收尾。结构合理则是指文章的论证结构合理,特别是高分作文,立场要非常清晰。
最新公布的留学类第二篇作文的题目是有关于对儿童兼职的不同看法。在写这篇文章时,考生首先就要鲜明地提出自己是否支持儿童做兼职,之后在过渡段里提及与自己意见不同的论点,说明理由是什么,其后放主要的笔墨论证自己的观点,可以结合亲身经历或了解到的实例来证明观点的正确性,最后进行总结陈述,进一步确认对于儿童应不应该做兼职的观点和意见。
在备考雅思时,考生要注意文章结构的建立,力求做到结构清楚、论证比例合理。
雅思写作高分技巧要点三:词汇运用丰富、灵活
新评分标准最大的改变是把老评分标准的第三方面“词汇和语法”分解成词汇和语法两个细则。这样一来,词汇和语法、任务完成或任务反应、连贯与衔接在评分时的权重是一样的。所以,要获得雅思作文高分,同时也要在词汇上狠下功夫才行。
在词汇的准备方面,要注意宽度和难度两方面的训练。词汇的宽度是指在一篇要求字数的文章内,能用不同的语言表达同一个内容,避免重复,如用grow、goup、increase、rise、raise、boost等不同词汇表达“上升”这个意思。词汇的难度,是指在文章中是选用比较幼稚的词汇,还是有一定文体标准、适合于学术场景表达的词汇。大多数中国考生都会普遍使用at the same time来表示“与此同时”,但是在正式文体里,表达此意的词应为mean while或in the meantime。
雅思备考:教你写雅思作文长句
雅思写作长句技巧一:避免空洞的单词和词组
1.一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关或重要的信息,完全可以删掉。
比如:When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2.有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换。
例如:Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
思写作高分技巧一:避免使用语言弱的“be”动词
1、在“here”或“there”开头的句子中,把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语
例如:
1) Weak:There is no opportunity for promotion.
Revision:No opportunity for promotion exists.
2) Weak:Here are the books you ordered.
Revision:The books you ordered have arrived.
2、表语转换为不同的修饰语
例如:
Weak:The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab.
Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转换为前置定语)
Or:The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作后置定语)
3、作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词
例如:
1) Weak:The team members are good players.
Revision:The team members play well.
2) Weak:One worker's plan is the elimination of tardiness.
Revision:One worker's plan eliminates tardiness.
雅思写作高分技巧二:表语转化为不同的修饰语
很多烤鸭不明白什么时候用主动,什么被动!用错了,雅思写作分数自然不高!这样做,也是因为这个原因!
例如:
1、Weak:The organization has been supported by charity.
Better:Charity has supported the organization.
2、Weak:The biscuits were stacked on a plate.
Better:Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.
比较具体的描写会让文章看起来更有说服力,分数当然能提高啦!
例如:
1、Poor:My supervisor went past my desk.
Better:My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.
2、Poor:She is a careful shopper.
Better:She compares prices and quality.
雅思写作高分技巧四:不要使用语言过长且累赘的词语
写作不是用的词汇越高深就越高分,想提高成绩就要用词简单、生动。
例如:
1、Wordy:My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk.
Improved:My little sister prefers chocolate milk.
2、Wordy:We are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow your recommendations.
Improved:We have received your letter and intended to follow your recommendation.
3、Redundant:We had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
Improved:We had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
4、Redundant:My sister and I bought the same, identical dress in different stores.
Improved:My sister and I bought the same dress in different stores.
雅思写作高分技巧五:避免陈旧词语或难懂的专业术语
雅思是一门语言考试,主要考察烤鸭们的语言运用能力,而写作关键点就在文章的表现力上!
例如:
1、Weak:They will not agree to his proposals in any shape or form.
Improved:They will not agree to any of his proposals.
2、Weak:I need her financial input before I can guesstimate our expenditures next fall.
Improved:I need her financial figures before I can estimate our expenditures next fall.
雅思考试写作范文:媒体对观念的影响
The mass media, including television, radio and newspapers, have great influence in shaping people's ideas.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Model Answer:
The mass media have a powerful influence in shaping our lives. We have come to depend on them for information and entertainment, and in doing so we let them affect important aspects of our lives.
The undeniable usefulness of the media in almost instantly providing information about events around the world is largely taken for granted. But in our dependence on the media we have allowed them to mould our notions and opinions of events, places and people. Though few of us probably think about it, our conceptions of, say, our elected officials spring from television images and newspaper stories. Most of us will never meet prime ministers or presidents, but anyone who is regularly exposed to the media will have an opinion of them. When it is time to cast our vote, we will make our decision based on how the media portray the candidates. We are similarly swayed by coverage of wars. The media, representing the values of their owners, societies and governments, tend to report wars with a bias; which is the 'good' side and which the 'bad' is determined for us by reporters, editors and commentators, and sure enough the public begins to form opinions that reflect the coverage they see, hear and read in the major media.
The media are also influential in the way they facilitate the spread of culture and lifestyle. The so-called 'global youth culture', in which one finds young people around the world displaying a common interest in music, clothing styles and films, is an example of the media's enormous sway in this regard. A popular figure such as Michael Jackson would never be so well known were it not for the media's extensive reach into every society on the globe.
Thus I would argue that the mass media's influence is certainly great. Indeed, with technological advancements such as the Internet bringing even more forms of electronic media to our homes and workplaces, it is likely the media's influence will grow even stronger.
1.尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。
例如下面这个例子:The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更简洁的表达方式为:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
2.有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换。
例如:My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm.
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly,显得更为简洁:
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm.
雅思写作长句技巧三:选择最恰当的语法结构
选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要,但选择最恰当的语法结构仍然是更为重要的考虑因素。以下原则是在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则:
1.一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中最重要的意思。
例如:The situation that resulted in my grandfather's not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather's not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:
My grandfather couldn't study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
2.避免频繁使用“there be”结构。
例如下面的句子:There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改为:
My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更简洁的句式为:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
3.把从句改为短语或单词。
例如:Dairy cows were raised on the farm,which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an areathat was remote.
简介的表达方式为:
The dairy farm was located in a remotearea, 100 kilometers to the nearest university.
4.仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候,才使用被动语态。
例如:In the fall, not only did the cows haveto be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather'sfamily.
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-mygrandfather's family”,而使用了被动语态後,彷佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:
In the fall, my grandfather's family notonly milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
5.用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语。
例如:My grandfather didn't have time tostand around doing nothing with his school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter:
My grandfather didn't have time toloiter with his school friends.
6.有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达。
例如:Profits from the farm were not large.Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They werenot sufficient to pay for a university degree.
两句话的信息可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子:
Profits from the farm were sometimes toosmall to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university degree.
根据以上的题目解构信息,寻找关键词的下义词和衍生词,根据已有素材确定写作框架。
