1雅思 作文图表题怎么分析
雅思写作考试当中,除去大家都非常重视的大作文之外,雅思小作文占据了雅思写作的半壁江山。下面是小编搜集整理的关于雅思作文图表题怎么分析的资料,欢迎查阅。
柱状图:“比较”(找出similarity)和“对比”(找出difference),是写作的关键,既要横向总结所有柱状图表的共性特征,也要分别描写各个柱子的个性特征。
饼图:是所有图表题中写的一种,值得注意的是要处理好怎样丰富百分比的表达和“占”的表达。不要一直用数字加百分比的格式,如25%。特定的数字可以采取多样性的表达,如25%=a quarter of, 50%=half of, >50%=a,or the majority of
曲线图:关键是把握好曲线的走向和趋势,学会general classification,即在第二段的开头部分对整个曲线进行一个阶段式的总分类,使写作层次清晰。接下来在分类描述每个阶段的specific
trend,同时导入数据作为你分类的依据。注意不要不做任何说明就机械性的导入数据!可以使用一些比较native的单词和短语来描述trend。表格题:考察例举数字的能力和方法。注意怎样通过举一些有代表性的数据来有效地说明问题。
流程图:注意流程图里的“因果关系”或每一流程的“承前启后”关系;表达每一流程的主体内容,阐明这种关系;揭示其内在联系或规律;最后,给予简要归纳和总结。
2雅思写作最易出错的词汇
一、compare与contrast的误用
我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。Compare的定义为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同,而后者则侧重于它们的不同。
看个例句:
It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.
前一句翻译为:对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。
后一句的翻译为:我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同,这很有趣。
再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S DICTIONARY的例子:
There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West.
The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier.
When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast.
不难发现,Compare 翻译为“ 与……相比”而contrast可译为“明显不同的是……”,切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。
二、介词使用错误
1、普通介词的误用
一般表现为固定搭配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。
2、“to”作为介词的误用
“to”最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了 “to do”的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:
如:More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them.
这里的 ‘take to’ means ‘to begin to do sth as a habit’ 其中 ‘to’为介词,所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以黑体处应改为“depending on”。“take to”的另一个常用用法也需要牢记:
He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这里‘take to’ means ‘to start liking sb or sth’)
Prefer A to B中的 “to”也是介词,会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, 这里朗阁海外考试研究中心提醒您,“prefer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”可是真正的不定式符号。
类似的常用用法请同学们牢记:
Be used to doing
Be accustomed to doing
See to doing
Adapt to doing
Adjust to doing
prefer doing sth. to doing sth.
3雅思写作需注意的核心规则
1. Make the paragraph the unit of composition: one paragraph to each topic
不同的段落构成文章,每个段落仅传递一个观点
雅思写作需注意的核心规则
2. As a rule, begin each paragraph with a topic sentence; end it in conformity with the beginning
规则:每个段落均以主题句开头,并且首尾呼应。
A. the topic sentence comes at or near the beginning;
主题句前置
B. the succeeding sentences explain or establish or develop the statement made in the topic sentence;
段落围绕主题句展开,后面的句子对主题句进行展开解释
C. the final sentence either emphasizes the thought of the topic sentence or states some important consequence.
末尾句或者对主题句进行强调,或者阐述主题句带来的结果。
3. Use the active voice
主动句永远比被动句直接有力
Eg: There were a great number of dead leaves lying on the ground= Dead leaves covered the ground. (清晰生动)
Eg: The reason that he left college was that his health became impaired.= Failing health compelled him to leave college. (简洁有力)
Eg: It was not long before he was very sorry that he had said what he had.= He soon repented his words. (简洁有力)
4. Put statements in positive form
以肯定的形式表达否定的意思, 避免使用平淡、毫无色彩,犹豫不决和含糊其辞的语言。
Eg:He was not very often on time.= He usually came late.
Eg: He did not think that studying Latin was much use.= He thought the study of Latin useless.
Eg: The taming of the Shrew is rather weak in spots. Shakespeare does not portray Katharine as a very admirable character, nor does Bianca remain long in memory as an important character in Shakespeare’s works.= The women in The Taming of the Shrew are unattractive. Katharine is disagreeable, Bianca insignificant.
5. Omit needless words
删除冗词
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
有力的写作一定简洁。
Owing to the fact that=Since (because)
In spite of the fact that=Though (although)
Call your attention to the fact that=Remind you (notify you)
The fact that he had not succeeded=His failure
4雅思 英语 写作高分技巧
一:给身体设个闹钟
“月黑风高夜,烤鸭奋斗时”,放弃这种不靠谱的熬夜战术吧。从今天起,早睡早起,面朝写作,春暖花开。写作考试时间集中在上午十一时左右,每天准时动笔,告诉自己身体的每个细胞,这一小时只属于写作,形成自然的生物钟,练笔练脑。此锦囊适用于听读写。
二:该放手时就放手
写作是个争分夺秒的活,在考试中的每一秒都应该有它的意义。到了现在还在纠结于段落结构的孩纸们,是时候该放手了。写作结构无非四段或五段,不要考场上决定,特别是对于那些有选择综合症的烤鸭。没有的结构,只有适合你的结构。只要别写成三段或者六段以上,四段还是五段并不影响你拿高分:
四段式结构:
开头:背景 + 改写题干 + 个人观点
支持方:观点(1,2,3) + 论证(1,2,3)
反对方:观点(1,2)+ 论证(1,2)+ 反驳
结尾:总结个人观点 + 建议(可选)
五段式结构:
开头:背景 + 改写题干 + 个人观点
支持方一:观点1 + 论证1,2…
支持方二:观点2 + 论证1,2…
反对方: 观点+论证1,2…
结尾:总结个人观点 + 建议(可选)
(P.S. 四段适用于论点较丰富的烤鸭,五段适用于论证较犀利的烤鸭)。
三:总结素材形成固定思维
很多烤鸭的最大问题就是无法在短时间内确定大作文的素材,这无非有两种情况:想法过多无从选择vs. 想法太少无从下笔。考前的各种预测素材的狂轰烂炸想必已经把众烤鸭从迷茫推到了惶恐的路上。其实静下心来想一想,每个人的思路都是有个人风格的,我们要做的,不是鹦鹉学舌的把别人的想法填充进自己的大脑,而是把自己的想法(P.S.三非原则:非反人类,非反社会,非反国家)用合适的方法表达出来,这才是考官想要看到的你的文章的individuality。
举个例子来说,盖老师在每次想大作文素材的时候都是从宏观(社会)和微观(个人)两个大方向下的固定角度来思考素材的:比如宏观(社会)方向涉及经济,科技,环境,文化等,而微观(个人)方向则涉及工作,生活,精神,权利义务等。各位烤鸭们也应该把自己的想法归纳总结,先头脑风暴想素材,再缩小形成自己固定的思维方向并熟记于心,这样在考场上才能节约大量的思考时间而又不会无所适从。
同样地,小作文的精华在于八个字“涨跌平波,横比纵比”,以线性图的趋势和柱状图的比较为中心,以此扩展到饼状图和表格的写作,甚至流程图(流程顺序)和地图(地点比较)都非难事,请烤鸭们体会和琢磨。
