雅思学习,今天分享的是“如何写好雅思开头段”。
许多学生在练习雅思写作时忽略了开头一段的重要性。尽管开头只有几句话,不需要使用花哨的语言,但糟糕的开头可能会给评分者留下负面印象。无论你在以下内容上写得多么好,考官的初步印象仍然可能影响整篇文章的分数。
那到底该如何高效率地花费较少的时间写出一个高分的开头段呢?快来和小编看看怎么做吧~
第 一句:改写问题
改写问题就是指使用不同的词对问题进行二次陈述,使其具有相同的含义。这样一方面表明考生有认真阅读题目并紧紧扣题,另一方面也能在一开始就展示出自己对英语的运用实力。举个例子:
问题是——There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming and having other undesirable effects on people's health and well-being.
可以改写成——Rising global temperatures and human fitness issues are often viewed as being caused by the expanding use of automobiles.
其中涉及到的同义替换表达就有:
■Increasing-expanding
■Car use-use of automobiles
■Global warming-rising global temperatures
■People's health and well-being-human fitness
不止同义替换,烤鸭们还可以通过改变语法结构来进行改写,比如上文掌柜就把题目的主动语态改为了被动语态,让整个句子看起来焕然一新。
除了这两个方法,同学们还能用改变词性的方法来改写,比如:
问题是——Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that people over the age of sixty-five can continue to live full and active lives.
可以改写成——Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people are suggesting that people over the age of sixty-five can continue living full and active lives.
用第 一句话对题目进行改写,就相当于是一个“开门红”,一上来就给了考官眼前一亮的感觉。接下来不要浪费篇幅,直接进入中心句!
第二句:提出观点
既然是有争议性的话题,那么提出自己的观点和想法肯定是必需的,这可以说是整篇文章中较重要的句子之一!如何强有力地展现自己的态度和立场,让文章更清晰、连贯,就是烤鸭们要多加研究的问题。
首先,观点肯定要跟题型紧密挂钩,不同的题型会要求考生有不同的侧重点,一般大作文的问题类型主要有四种:
■同意与否类:“Do you agree or disagree/to what extent do you agree or disagree?”,考生要注意审题,如果题目中是问同意与否,那么答案就选择一边,不要持中立;如果是问extent,那么可以有3种答案totally、mostly and partly。
■利弊比较类:“Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?”&“Is it a positive or negative development?”,需要考生根据题干中给出的现象,分析该现象引起的利弊中哪方占比更大。
■双边讨论类:“Discuss both views and give your own opinion.”,必须要讨论两个观点,并且给出自己的意见。
■报告类:“What are the reasons and what solutions can you suggest?”&“What are the effects of this trend on individuals and society?”,需要考生对于某个现象分析产生的原因及带来的影响或者提供一些可行性较强的建议。
其次就是要识别出题目中的关键词/句,才能更加贴题地想出观点并展现出来。举个例子:
“Computers are being used more and more in education.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.“
题目中的“computer”就圈定了大主题——科技,而“used more and more in education”则把范围限定在了“教育中使用电脑越来越多“的情况,供考生讨论其优缺点并给出自己的立场。
只有把二者结合,正确识别出题目想问的真正意思才能表达出自己的态度,比如下面两个例子:
Ⅰ.Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems.Do you agree or disagree?
就要在观点句中明确表达自己的观点:同意、部分同意还是不同意,然后围绕限定范围”increasing the price of petrol“、”the best way“来给出——
This essay disagrees that the best way to resolve increasing pollution and congestion problems is to raise the cost of fuel.
Ⅱ.Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
观点句中要同时体现话题的优点和缺点,并就双方的占比给出鲜明的观点——
The principal advantage is that exposing children to languages as early as possible leads to higher levels of proficiency later in life and this outweighs the main disadvantage of young children being overwhelmed by too many subjects.
当然,除了上面给出的句式,还有多种句型大家都可以选择,比如:
■The main cause(s)of this issue is…..
■There could be several reasons why
■I completely agree with this view
■While I accept that...I believe that...
重点不在于使用的语法有多么复杂,而是要让句子清晰明了地展露自己的观点,给考官较直观的冲击力哦!
