小编: 136雅思写作Task2的essay能否上高分,很重要一点是在于思维和立场(即观点和论点)搭建之后,往里面填充的内容(即论证,包括推理和例证),它也是构建一篇文章篇幅最大的。在雅思该类essay的写作任务中, 根据其中两大评分标准“任务完成”和“连贯与衔接”的相关要求,其essay核心主题段落通常运用推理式的扩展方法。
首先我们分析一下雅思7分的“任务完成”和“连贯与衔接”的相关标准:
Band7
• addresses all parts of the task
• presents a clear position throughout the response
• presents, extends and supports main ideas, but there may be a tendency to over-generalize and/or supporting ideas may lack focus
• logically organizes information and ideas; there is clear progression throughout
• uses a range of cohesive devices appropriately although there may be some under-/over-use
• presents a clear central topic within each paragraph
7分标准的“完成任务情况”为:涵盖题目要求;文章立场清晰;提出,引申,并支持主要观点,但可能有过度概括,分支观点不够紧凑。
7分标准的“连贯与衔接”要求为:信息和观点组织有逻辑性;文章从头至尾有连续性;衔接手段使用合理,虽然可能有一些使用多少或过多;每个段落都有明确的主题。
要实现分支观点的恰当和紧凑,包括信息和观点主旨的逻辑和连续,我们必须得弄清Reasoning(推理)。
推理有着很多的论证方式.比如:对比论证,类比论证,引用论证等。而这些形式并不是关键,重要的是要展现critical thinking and persuasive writing,这就是推理的关键。关于批判性思维的重要性,我们看下面这段话:
Your response may, but need not, incorporate particular writing strategies learned in English composition or writing - intensive college courses. Readers will not be looking for a particular developmental strategy or mode of writing; in fact, when readers are trained, they review hundreds of issue responses that, although highly diverse in content and form, display similar levels of critical thinking and persuasive writing.
从这段话可以看出西方院校对于学生写作的要求重在批判思维和有说服力的写作。毫无疑问,雅思考生在essay写作部分的答题内容,也可能会存在西方考官对这方面的评估。
接下来,我将选择雅思写作的一道真题题目,运用“推理”的方法写出这道题的两个主体段落,具体如下所示:
题目:科技的广泛运用是否增加了贫富差距?它带来了什么社会问题?
Technology creates immense economic profits but it causes the gap among people’s incomes. Those who are able to use technology can earn more money because the advanced machinery promotes the high productivity. For instance, looms produces considerably more over work amounts than manual work.Because of this, the technical weavers’ incomes as well as the entrepreneur’s profits have greatly increased with the use of new technology. Obviously, distinct incomes gradually leads to the gap between the wealth and the impoverished population.
This gap, furthermore, intensifies a social conflict. It is the common workers who devote to the production line; however, they are not often paid in an equivalent return. Conversely, It is those employers who merely use their capitals to make convenience of poor labors accumulate enormous wealth. In the pursuit of maximum benefit, some of them have been even taken unfair means to exploit their workers. Along with the aggravating situation, most workingmen are beginning to complain and even strike to against those exploiters. Needless to say, social progress is sure to be hampered to a certain degree.
我所写的这两个段落内容的核心论点即主题句都位于段首,展开的内容都采用了推理,遵循critical reasoning(批判逻辑)。与此同时,第一个段落中我采用家纺作了例证。
因此,想要获得雅思写作的高分,除了英语素质本身很优秀,对于英文议论文作文的核心-argument,是否能恰当理解及准确的论述则是所有雅思考生所须要去学习和突破的最大难题。我在这里给大家推荐“维基百科 英文站” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page.祝愿我们环球教育所有学员都能在最有效的学习期间获得英文能力的全面提升,争得您需求的目标分数。为此,我们共同努力。
