雅思写作时需要注意的细节问题与句型问题

雅思写作时间安排:
雅思写作要求考生在一个小时之内完成一篇至少150个单词的说明文或信件(20分钟)和一篇至少250个单词的议论文(40分钟)。考生需合理安排时间。
疑问:先写Task 1还是Task 2?
专家:建议考生先简后难,Task 1 尽量控制在20分钟内完成,然后安心写 Task 2。所以考生在考前一定要多练多写,掌握时间。
雅思写作字数要求:
雅思写作字数是有下限的,但没有上限,所以很多考生都有疑问,到底多少单词的文章可以拿到高分。当然这没有绝对的限制,但据统计看来,大多数的高分小作文字数都在180左右,而大作文也在280左右。
疑问:字数不够怎么办?
专家:就Task 1而言,说明该考生对图表的分析能力还有待提高,多练习看图审题构思。如果Task 2字数不够,说明考生思路不开阔,论据无法扩展,考生需增加阅读量,多看和雅思写作话题相近的文章和精读雅思范文来掌握论据扩展方法。
雅思写作的标题与格式要求:
雅思的大小作文都不需要题目。雅思写作有两种格式:一是空行不空格式,即文章每段开头顶格写,段与段之间空一行;二是空格不空行,即除首段顶格外,文章每段开头空五个字符,段与段之间不空行。
选择合适的语法结构句子意思表达的精确和简练
选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。以下是在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则:
1. 一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思。例如:.
The situation that resulted in my grandfather’s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather’s not being able to study”。
在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:
My grandfather couldn’t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
2.避免频繁使用“there be”结构,例如下面的句子:
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改为:
My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更简洁的句式为:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
3.把从句改为短语或单词。例如:
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
简介的表达方式为:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest university.
4.仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候,才使用被动语态。例如:
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather’s family.
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather’s family”。
而使用了被动语态后,仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:
In the fall, my grandfather’s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
