摘要:今日朗阁:雅思写作不会写没关系,分数低没关系,慢慢从雅思阅读中积累经验,就好了。
雅思成绩一出来,很多考生会抱怨雅思写作的单项分太拉成绩,有时候阅读能考7分,写作却只有5分。朗阁海外考试研究中心的唐老师分析认为,出现这种分数不均衡、雅思写作分尤其低的原因有以下几点:
1、考生对中英文表达的准确切换没有理解把握好,里面充斥着大量的Chinglish。在和许多学生接触的过程中,我发现很多同学去背诵一些所谓的雅思词汇却不知道如何正确使用,就会出现表达生硬,用词不当的情况。其实所谓的难词并不是帮助学生在词汇方面获得高分的决定因素,而是准确恰当,符合英语表达习惯的词汇和词组才是关键。
2、就是思路由于缺乏必要的知识面而无法拓展。事实上在烤鸭们备考的过程中做阅读得高分的同时也可以训练自己的写作方面。那如何入手呢?
答:熟悉考试话题并摘抄有用词汇
比如下面这两道雅思写作真题:
Some people think they have right to use as much fresh water as they want, others, otherwise believes governments should strictly control the use of fresh water as it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some languages are increasing in use, while many others are declining. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
显然,烤鸭们可以很快地说出这两个考题的内容与剑桥7和4上的阅读非常相近。恍然大悟之余,这两篇文章中的优美词汇就可以做个摘抄:
比如说在剑桥7 Test1 Passage1中,文章的标题是Making every drop count, 说的就是要节约用水,有很多词汇可以摘抄:
manipulate water resource/ innovative layout of pipes and well-built sewers/ despite our progress, half of the world’s population still suffer/ more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water/ some two and a half billion do not have adequate sanitation services/ the consequence of our water policies extend beyond jeopardizing human health/ more than 20% of all fresh water fish species are now threatened or endangered because dam and water withdrawals have destroyed the free-flowing river system
同样,针对第二道题目,剑桥4 Test2 Passage1也可以为烤鸭们提供很多有用的词汇:
the native language is dying/ most of speakers are mid-aged or elderly/ Navajo is far from alone./ half of the world’s 6800 languages are likely to vanish within two generations/ never before has the planet’s linguistic diversity shrunk at such a pace / it was a mass extinction/ Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers
好的词汇真是不胜枚举,朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师以上列出了部分与这两个考题相关的词汇是为了说明:烤鸭们要非常熟知雅思议论文所涉及的考点和话题,这样在做阅读文章后就可以对已经完成相关练习的文章进行话题规整并进行单词摘抄,同时又可以学到地道的表达方法,在雅思写作中避讳中式英语表达。
