雅思寫作技巧:原來雅思考官喜愛這樣的開頭段

教育 • 留學

(澳洲生活網訊)在雅思考試中,與雅思考試中的其他幾項相比較,寫作往往是得分最低的一項。究竟怎樣才能寫出高分作文,寫作要考察我們的能力比較多,這其中包括文章是否扣題,整體邏輯,辭彙運用能力以及語法準確度等,想要在一個小時內完成兩篇高質量的文章,取得高分著實不易。雅思考官會喜歡什麼樣的開頭段?怎麼才能最快速有效地提升自己的寫作分數呢?

除了多積累好的辭彙和句型,多看範文這項工作也是必不可少的。寫作是輸出型考試,輸出的文字質量是高是低,與我們平時輸入多少好的詞、好的句子密切相關。所以在這裡也特別提醒大家,不要一味地埋頭苦寫,從不看範文,從不背好的句子。一味埋頭苦寫無異於只是把自己4分、5分的作文水平練的更加純熟,練成了鋼琴十級跆拳道黑帶而已,一定要多讀範文,多背好的句子,這樣才能真正提高寫作水平。俗話說「熟讀唐詩三百首,不會作詩也會吟」,範文的力量,可見一斑。

我們先來看一道真題:


Some people think that government should establish free libraries in each town.

While others believe that it is a waste of money since people can obtain information from the Internet at home.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

拿到這個題目,很多同學寫開頭都陷入了一種典型的模板化形式,筆下的開頭是這樣的:

Nowadays, the human society is progressing rapidly on various fronts. Yet at the same time, whether government should establish free libraries in each town has sparked much debate. Some people think government should establish free libraries in each town, while others believe that it is a waste of money since people can obtain information from the Internet at home. Personally, I am in favor of the former view.

不知道有沒有同學「躺槍」,寫這種開頭的同學,分數絕對不可能高於5.5,整個開頭幾乎可以說是在「自殺」,除了套模板,就是照搬原題,考官拿到這種開頭是絕對不會有好印象的。那真正好的開頭是什麼樣子的呢?我們以劍8的TEST1中劍橋考官的給出的範文為例,來看看考官自己愛怎麼寫開頭。先來看一下題目:

Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

考官範文的開頭是這樣的:


A child』s education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society. Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.

從這篇考官範文的開頭,我們不難看出,它並沒有模式化的「社會背景引入-提出正方觀點-再提出反方觀點-最後陳述自己觀點」,而是只做了兩件事:

一、給核心名詞下定義。

在本文中,即是給child』s education下了個定義,談了一下在作者看來,child』s education是什麼樣的。

二、表明觀點或立場。

在本文中,即闡明孩子的教育問題不僅僅只關乎家長。所以,好的開頭可以「無模板,但有邏輯。」

翻翻劍橋雅思考官的範文,我們會發現很多考官在開頭段都只幹了兩件事:下定義+ 表明觀點,或者是引出背景+表明觀點,還有很多考官範文開頭只是引出背景而已。所以,闡述題目中談及事件的背景才是開頭段應該做的,而不是模式化的引出兩方觀點。
