用分類法打開雅思寫作思路
想要短時(shí)間內(nèi)突破寫作,首當(dāng)其沖是要打開寫作思路。如何根據(jù)topic提示在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)正確流程寫出作文,是雅思寫作的真正挑戰(zhàn)。本文向大家介紹“分類法”,幫大家迅速打開思路,希望對大家有所幫助。
實(shí)例講解用分類法打開雅思寫作思路
分類法
即題目topic過于抽象或者過于廣泛的時(shí)候,我們可以將討論對象具體化,對其加以分類,分成B.C甚至更多類,這樣要描述的東西會更多。但需要注意的是,分類法需要大家保持思維的高度清晰,所以分類的時(shí)候盡量要求全面、科學(xué)。
舉個(gè)例子:
Some people think old buildings should be destroyed and replaced with modern buildings .Do you agree or disagree?
很明顯文topic是old buildings 。但是old buildings包含的范圍就比較廣,所以我們就可以從拆或者不拆的角度看,老房子就可以分為應(yīng)該要拆和不應(yīng)該拆的。這樣文章思路很明顯就出來了。這時(shí)候我們只需要說明那些老房子拆掉對城市化進(jìn)程有好處的,一些不應(yīng)該拆掉的像一些歷史名跡對文化有傳承作用的,這樣文章就很完整了。
首先分成兩類:應(yīng)該拆的和不應(yīng)該拆的。
第一段:背景介紹,老房子很多,人們對是否要拆有爭議。 There are a vast number of old structures in cities today. Whether they should be destroyed is a controversial issue.
第二段: 提出老房子應(yīng)該拆,寫兩個(gè)分論點(diǎn)—不安全、影響市容。 Safety and spoil the cityscape.
第三段:一些老房子不能拆,如特殊歷史意義的,人文居住類型的。 Buildings of historic values, special ethnic group architecture
第四段:結(jié)論由于城市發(fā)展必須拆掉,但特殊價(jià)值的不但不能,而且要有效保護(hù)。

【區(qū)分】國內(nèi)同學(xué)們在IELTS作文里經(jīng)常混淆damage 和destroy 這兩個(gè)詞,其實(shí)它們的區(qū)別很明確:damage sth. 是常規(guī)意義上的破壞,如果及時(shí)采取措施就仍然有可能去改變或者減輕這種破壞所帶來的影響。而destroy sth. 則強(qiáng)烈地暗示該破壞已經(jīng)到了beyond repair 的程度,無法再減輕或者修復(fù)了。比如說某種情況damage air quality ,它也許會導(dǎo)致PM2.5數(shù)值較高。但如果說某種情況destroy air quality,基本就要戴販毒面具才能出門兒了。又比如你看到報(bào)紙上報(bào)導(dǎo)一座歷史建筑被damaged,那么你可能會在這棟建筑里找到“×××到此一游”之類的不雅留言或者在墻上找到一些cracks(裂縫),但是如果你看到新聞里說一棟歷史建筑被destroyed,那么你就只能通過照片區(qū)永久地懷念它了(拆毀建筑還有個(gè)特定寫法叫demolish a building,咱們在Day3里已經(jīng)學(xué)過了)。

【對比】prevent sb. from doing sth. 防止某人做某事
例句:Any kind of spare time charity work will prevent them from sitting and doing nothing.(劍9例句)
3. face fierce competition面對激烈的競爭(這個(gè)短語里的face 是及物動詞,如果非要寫得
更難則是be confronted with fierce competition)

形容詞這個(gè)有用的結(jié)構(gòu)。You’ll find it very helpful.

salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists.(劍橋金句)

差距
