9、閱讀】雅思寫(xiě)作技巧1.Task Achievement (任務(wù)完成度)就是你是否覆蓋了所有的寫(xiě)作要求雅思寫(xiě)作有大小兩個(gè)寫(xiě)作任務(wù)(Task1和Task2)，大家在寫(xiě)作之前一定要進(jìn)行審題，其實(shí)雅思寫(xiě)作是很容易偏題或是審錯(cuò)題的!Task 1小作文大多數(shù)情況出的是常規(guī)的表圖、線圖、條形圖，再就是出現(xiàn)頻率不那么高的流程圖了(話說(shuō)一個(gè)月一次的頻率)，然后就是頻率更低的地圖題，還有一種就是物品比較題，這種很少會(huì)碰到。它的要求很有可能是：“Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make compa

10、risons where relevant.”(選擇并描述圖表中的主要信息，并在必要之處進(jìn)行比較。)仔細(xì)讀題的話，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)Task 1的寫(xiě)作要求一清二楚，共有三個(gè)部分：(1)“選擇性的進(jìn)行描述”，選擇圖表中的重要信息，你要記住無(wú)需所有的信息你都需要寫(xiě)出來(lái)。所謂重要信息，一般是指極值、中間值、趨勢(shì)(特別是從圖表中總結(jié)出的趨勢(shì)走向)等等。例如一張餅狀圖中占比最大與最小的部分分別是什么、數(shù)值幾何;一條折線總體上升或下降等等。由于這個(gè)部分絕大多數(shù)的信息均為數(shù)字、百分比，所以要學(xué)會(huì)怎樣用不同方式表達(dá)數(shù)字。例如，“占35%”可表達(dá)為“account for 35%”, “represent 35%”, “

11、take up 35%”, “occupy 35%”, “the percentage.is 35%”等等。(2)“比較性地進(jìn)行描述”，這點(diǎn)非常重要，對(duì)于給定的重要信息，要做出靈活的比較，從而能得出圖表中走向趨勢(shì)。如某一部分為另一部分的幾倍、等于某幾部分之和、不同時(shí)間段與地區(qū)某項(xiàng)指標(biāo)趨勢(shì)的差別等等。Task 2的題目形式也較為固定，總是先對(duì)一(兩)個(gè)現(xiàn)象或觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行描述，然后按要求進(jìn)行討論。分類來(lái)看，主要有：(1) “Do you agree/disagree”類此類話題一般甩出一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)或命題，并且要求你“站隊(duì)”。例如“Some people believe that childrens lei

12、sure activities must be educational, otherwise they are a complete waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?”在作文的第一段最好就明確給出自己的“答案”，即對(duì)于此觀點(diǎn)是同意還是反對(duì)。此類話題不建議“折中”，因?yàn)橛^點(diǎn)不鮮明。(2) “Discuss the advantage/disadvantage”類很有可能題干只提供一個(gè)事實(shí)，然后需要你對(duì)該事實(shí)進(jìn)行正反面的討論。例如“Some parents choose to send students into single-sex schools

13、. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these schools?”(3)“Whats your opinion”類這類題目一般會(huì)給出兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，然后要求你“給出自己觀點(diǎn)”。此類題目是有技巧的，在謀篇布局上也有規(guī)律可循：首先，開(kāi)頭段落要靈活換用其他表述，將題干內(nèi)容進(jìn)行復(fù)述;接下來(lái)的兩段要分別對(duì)題干里提到的兩個(gè)方面都進(jìn)行論述，并且充分說(shuō)明;最后，明確提出自己的見(jiàn)解或建議。2. Cohesion and Coherence(銜接與連貫)前后觀點(diǎn)連貫完整，行文銜接自然。連貫性，就是在篇幅、用詞、結(jié)構(gòu)等方面突出你的主要思想。比如當(dāng)你贊同某一種觀點(diǎn)的

14、時(shí)候，應(yīng)當(dāng)自然地將更多篇幅用于論證它、用更確定的詞句表述、把相關(guān)段落放在前面。一旦你把這個(gè)過(guò)程搞反了把重心移給了觀點(diǎn)的反面，便會(huì)讓人疑惑：你支持的觀點(diǎn)究竟是怎樣的?連貫性的另一體現(xiàn)在于文章的發(fā)展。好的雅思作文應(yīng)當(dāng)能看出段落之間的遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。(1)如果你要贊同某觀點(diǎn)，那么可以安排三個(gè)方面來(lái)論述：一般原因深層原因反面論證。也可以正方觀點(diǎn)反方觀點(diǎn)分析總結(jié)。(2)如果要提出自己觀點(diǎn)，可以安排三個(gè)或四個(gè)段落：已有觀點(diǎn)1已有觀點(diǎn)2自己觀點(diǎn)總結(jié)共通與不同。銜接是門(mén)大學(xué)問(wèn)。需要大家能在詞匯、短語(yǔ)、代詞和從句上面進(jìn)行逐步突破自己寫(xiě)作的銜接性：(1)短語(yǔ)。本質(zhì)上與詞匯相同，但更靈活。最常用的有類似“due to”,

15、 “now that”, “in contrast”等。使用短語(yǔ)還另有好處，它要求你將前面已述的內(nèi)容再做一次簡(jiǎn)練的歸納，然后再引出后文論述。這有助于文章連貫性、完整性的體現(xiàn)。大家可根據(jù)自身情況進(jìn)行銜接語(yǔ)匯積累，購(gòu)買相應(yīng)的書(shū)籍查閱，還可有意識(shí)地選擇一些作為你的“常用”語(yǔ)料。(2)代詞。寫(xiě)作時(shí)往往不需用詞匯來(lái)提示銜接關(guān)系，只需用代詞開(kāi)始下句話即可。例如“Recreational activities are crucial to the well-being of modern citizens under pressure. They serve as outlets of unsatisfactory moods and refill residents energy tanks.”(3)從句。往往用銜接詞連起來(lái)的句子也可以用一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的定語(yǔ)從句或狀語(yǔ)從句連接。這樣做可以展示你對(duì)語(yǔ)言的控制力，也很有效地豐富了語(yǔ)法。For example：例用銜接詞，兩句話：Political decay is par
