很多同学在雅思出成绩的这一天,心中都会有这一个疑问:“我作文写的挺好的,为什么分数不高?” 今天就由赵石我,一个口语老师,带大家探寻一下这个问题背后隐藏的真实情况。
首先对于雅思作文,并不是写完了就完事了,这一点是很多同学没有意识到的。我在考试的时候看到很多同学在还差5分钟甚至1分钟到时间的时候,把作文写完了,心满意足的瘫倒在座位上。这种同学一般作文都过不了,因为他把自己写得那千疮百孔的作文放在那里,让它等待命运的审判。
那么作文到底怎么写呢?分两步:1,写;2,检查
1,怎么写?一个字,快。天下武功,唯快不破。无论同学们用什么方法写作文,我相信都是可以的,因为不同老师的教法可能有些不同,但是自己都有自己的出发点,只要是遇到负责任的老师,一般方法都没问题。问题就在于你是否能让你的方法落地生根。
落地最重要的一个环节就是提高熟练度。所有的方法都需要熟练,熟练的唯一方法就是多写。很多同学,相当一部分的同学对作文的理解就是,我写完了以后我要知道我自己是多少分,这是一个错误的概念。因为作文方法需要熟悉了以后,才有打分的必要。你花了一整天写了一篇作文,打分7.5,真的还不如你花半小时写,打分是6分的作文。所以首先一定要确保你在使用某种写作方法的时间在规定时间内,你的作文才有打分的必要。
那么如果时间总超怎么办?那就疯狂练习写。写作不能用眼睛看,要用手去写,用脑子去感受。
标准大作文Task2 理想时间25-30分钟(只是写完)
我们举一个作文的例子:
In many parts of the world, people rely on private cars for transportation.
In what ways does reliance on private cars affect the way of life?
Do the effects tend to be positive or negative?
正文:
In many places, private cars are the most important form of transportation, and this has had a big impact on the way people live. Provate cars offer a lot of freedom, but they also cause crowding and pollution, and they encourage isllation. Despite the advantages, I believe they have a negative effect on our lives.
Private cars give us a lot of freedom in our work and personal lives. If you have your own car, you have more job choices because you don't have to worry about how you will get to work. Whether you live close to your job or far away, you can easily commute to work in your car. You also have more freedom to choose where you will live. You don't have to live in a neighbourhood cholse to your job or close to stores or close to a bus route. You can live anywhere you want because your car will take you everywhere you need to go.
When most people have their own car, however, this affects the quality of our roads and air. When there are a lot of private cars, the roads become congested, and there are frequent traffic jams. This makes it difficult to get to places and causes a lot of stress. In addition, cars cause air pollution. This is bad for the natural environment and can also lead to illness.
Another problem with private cars is isolation. When people drive their own cars, they lose opportunities to interact with other people. They don't know their neighbours because they never walk down the street. They don't have the chance to meet people at the bus stop or on the subway.
In conclusion, I think the disadvantages of private cars outweigh the benefits. I think it is important to support alternative forms of transportation.
作文写完后,要至少留出7-10分钟检查,不检查的作文,你写得感觉再好,可能分数也会很低。
那么检查什么?
检查顺序:
首先是Task response,其次是coherence and cohesion,再其次是grammatical range and accuracy,最后 lexical resources
1,检查开头主题句。在开头中一定要向考官介绍你写了些什么,你的观点是什么或者正方反方观点是否都列举出来了。
在第一段中我们有提到
Provate cars offer a lot of freedom, but they also cause crowding and pollution, and they encourage isllation. Despite the advantages, I believe they have a negative effect on our lives.
所以可以满足TR的要求
2,检查每个主体段中心句,中心句是否在题目论述范围,中心句所提到的论述对象是不是题目中所给的,还是你自己瞎编的。
我们中心句中提到
第一段:freedom
第二段:roads and air
第三段: isolation
到此TR检查完毕。
下面开始检查CC
1,检查supporting main ideas,就是每段中的中心句,是不是被有效的展开解释和支持了。
第一段freedom对应:有更多的工作机会,和可以自由选择住所
第二段roads and air:对应交通堵塞和illness(注如果中心句中有and,那么你所涉及到的两个并列点必须都要论述)
第三段isolation对应:失去和人交流的机会,不和邻居,不和公交车和地铁上人说话。
2,检查结尾
你的结尾是不是和前面的叙述内容有关,有没有起到承接和总结的功能。
3,有没有连接词
but,also, however, in addition, another, but以及连接词作用是否正确
