寫作是雅思考試中十分重要的一部分,如何能在考試規(guī)定的時(shí)間范圍內(nèi)寫出高分作文是對(duì)廣大考生的一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn),冉老師總結(jié)多年教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn),提出了如下的建議。
一. 文章開頭的多樣化
對(duì)于雅思這類考試而言,基本功是一個(gè)很匯總要的考查點(diǎn),同時(shí),文章開頭給閱卷老師第一印象的好壞直接會(huì)影響整篇作文的成績(jī)。因此,廣大考生要注意寫好文章的開篇,采用多樣化的表達(dá)方式,展現(xiàn)扎實(shí)的基本功。
句子開頭的常見變化的手段:

二. 注意同意表達(dá)的作用
同義表達(dá)在寫作,填空,閱讀當(dāng)中都占據(jù)了非常重要的地位,本文的目的是各位準(zhǔn)備考試的同學(xué)同義表達(dá)的重要性和如何準(zhǔn)備這類內(nèi)容。
我曾經(jīng)撰文批評(píng)考生準(zhǔn)備詞匯的盲目和不知所措,其實(shí),在我班上經(jīng)常強(qiáng)調(diào)的一點(diǎn)就是,多背同義詞,多改寫例句,這是準(zhǔn)備考試的不二法門和捷徑。毫不夸張的說,背單詞最后所謂的會(huì)運(yùn)用,就是學(xué)會(huì)在不同的詞和詞組之間進(jìn)行同義表達(dá),寫作的多樣性和豐富性,主要的也是指同一概念的多樣表達(dá),GRE,GMAT,SAT閱讀中經(jīng)常出題的難處就是我們對(duì)于文章和題目的同義表達(dá)不熟悉。
同義表達(dá)在雅思寫作中的運(yùn)用:
雅思寫作7分要求考生有 “diversity and ambition in vocabulary and structures”,其實(shí)可以用很多辦法達(dá)到多樣性,同義表達(dá)的方法也很多。例如說一句話 “越來越多的人們覺得,汽車污染了環(huán)境。”我們?nèi)绻f “More and more people think that the cars pollute the environment.”就最多5分,因?yàn)榻^大部分考生都是用這個(gè)極其簡(jiǎn)單的句型,其實(shí)我們可以多背些同義詞,多換些句型,例如 “People in growing number believe that ” 這個(gè)growing 還可以變成Rising/accumulating/Ascending/Surging/soaring 這個(gè)句型就可以得6分,7分的句子其實(shí)可以很簡(jiǎn)單:Richer awareness has been given to the phenomenon of vehicle pollution. 類似的,在同一段話里,盡量避免完全相同的關(guān)鍵詞表達(dá)。比如可以在同一個(gè)詞的基礎(chǔ)上變換拼寫,communication>communicator clothes>clothing, ambitious>ambition 等類似的做法。另外還可以變換詞性,如 “令人驚奇的是” 寫to my surprise 就毫無新意,換成surprisingly 就好的多,如果背了同義變換,把surprisingly 換成Astonishingly 則檔次又上去了一些。有時(shí)候某些題目發(fā)現(xiàn)很難舉出例子,關(guān)鍵詞的同義變化就起到全篇充實(shí)的作用。
