雅思写作议论文类型及考试规律解析
雅思写作议论文类型及考试规律解析朗阁雅思考试研究中心很多考生在平时的时候拿到一个雅思话题反应时间还算是比较正常的,但是在考场上的话一般都是会反应比较慢一点,再加上一些考场紧张的情绪就比较难定下心来进行解题,因此很多考生在考场上就会显得不知所措,不知道从哪里下手了。
如果我们想要在雅思考试中拿高分首先要克服考场的紧张心理,其次考生们必须要做到在面对一个考题的时候要用争取的方法!那么正确的做法应该是什么呢?肯定是先审题,后得出文章结构,再做Brainstorming, 然后再下笔写文章。
这些可以称为动笔前的解题三部曲。
然而很多考生在考试过程中都会遇到一个常见的问题,就是看到一个题目不知道如何去把握结构,结构的混乱往往就会造成文章逻辑的混乱。
当学生们想到要用上面方法的时候很多都已经来不及重新构思,甚至考试都已经接近尾声了,还有一些学生抢时间的进行修改,但是最后的效果却比最初的构思还要差,到考官手里的很多都已经呈现出面目全非的状态了!朗阁雅思考试研究中心的专家通过长期的总结与研究得出,从应考方面而言,在接触一个雅思议论文题目时,我们必须要掌握的是文章的结构。
严谨的结构对观点的表达有事半功倍的作用。
近几年的雅思议论文考题,可以归纳为两大类:讨论类和分析解决型。
下面我们就结合2012年截止到目前的考题来做进一步的分析。
一、分析解决型此类问题模式通常会给出一个话题,要求考生分析产生此问题的原因,并给出一些缓解的方法。
我们首先也通过今年的真题来熟悉一下此类问题模式。
(1)People aim to achieve the balance between their work and lives. But few people achieve it. What are the causes of the problems? How to overcome it? (12.03.08)(2)City dwellers seldom socialize with their neighbors today and the sense of community has been lost. Why has this happened and how to solve this problem? (12.06.16)上面两题中出现的信号词分别是causes, overcome, solve和why。
所以有这四个词我们可以确定它们为分析解决型,和讨论类题目有着本质的区别。
它们所对应的文章结构见下图。
Introduction:Background + layoutBody:1. Reasons/ProblemsTopic Sentence + Reason One/Problem One + Supporting Sentences+ Reason Two/Problem Two + Supporting Sentences2. Suggestions/EffectsTopic Sentence + Suggestion One/Effect One + SS+ Suggestion Two/Effect Two + SSConclusion:Restatement of the Body上述结构是分析解决型的一种非常常见的对应结构,我们应该问什么答什么。
有时题目会出现只问problems或reasons, 结构也要相应的发生变化,即只回答几个问题或原因。
二、讨论类何为讨论类文章,即对一个给定的观点以及与其相对立的观点进行讨论,或就一个话题的两个对立的方面:积极和消极方面进行探讨,发表自己的观点。
顾名思义,讨论类文章分为观点类讨论和优缺点讨论。
这两种议论类型所对应的问题模式常见的有:Do you agree or disagree…? What is your opinion? To what extent do you agree or disagree? 等。
1. 请看下面今年的真题来熟悉此类问题模式(1)Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others, however, believe that it is a waste of money since the public can use the Internetat home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. (12.01.12)(2)Some people think the developments of technology make people’s life more complex, so we should make the life simpler without using technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (12.02.18)(3)It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than young people in many countries in the future. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? (12.03.10)(4)In modern world, it is no longer necessary to use animals for food or use animal products, for instance, clothing and medicines. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (12.04.28)(5)In most countries, prison is an effective solution to the problem of crime. Some people think it is a more effective solution to provide education for those who violate the law. What is your opinion? (12.05.12)(6)Some people think news has no connection to people's lives, so it is a waste of time to read the news on the newspaper and watch television news programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (12.06.09)以上六题中有对一个观点发表自己观点的,也有给出两个观点再发表自己观点的,也有对一个话题的两个方面进行论述的,这些都属于讨论类,其中2、4、5、6题属于观点类讨论,而1、3题为优缺点讨论。
2. 结构分析单边论证熟悉了问题模式后,我们来分析一下其所对应的文章结构。
以上六种问题模式,考生在未接触雅思前较熟悉的是Do you agree or disagree?和What is your opinion? 而通常这两类问题所对应的文章可以用以下的五段论结构来完成:引言段(introduction)提出观点,正文(body)三段通过三个理由来对观点进行论证,结尾段(conclusion)重申一下自己的观点。
因为此种结构只对自己支持的观点进行论证,因此叫单边论证,可以用下图来表示:Introduction:Background + My OpinionBody:1. Reason One + Supporting Sentences(以SS表示)2. Reason Two + SS3. Reason Three + SSConclusion:Restatement of My Opinion上述结构中的supporting sentences在议论文中的体现方式是一些论证方法,如举例(exemplification),对比对照(contrast & comparison),列数据(raising figures),让步(making concession)等来对自己支持的观点进行论证,使考官信服。
而此类结构也是中国学生较熟悉的议论文结构,在各类中国的考试中,如高考英语、大学四六级考试等,应用也较广。
但是单边论证的缺点,就中国学生而言,是较难扩展论证过程,而且像讲道理、举例子等论证方法必须正确使用,显示其逻辑性才能得到高分。
双边论证然而通过总结发现,近年来,剑桥真题后面考官提供的高分甚至满分范文都采用了另一种论证方法,称为双边论证。
双边论证基本为四段论,它与单边的最大区别在于正文,正文两段分别对题干提出的两个观点或优缺点进行论证。
我们也通过下图来认识此种结构:Introduction:Background+ My Opinion/LayoutBody:1. Opinion One/AdvantageTopic sentence+ Reason One + Supporting Sentences+ Reason Two + Supporting Sentences2. Opinion Two/DisadvantageTopic sentence+ Reason One + Supporting Sentences+ Reason Two + Supporting Sentences+ Reason Three + Supporting SentencesConclusion:Statement of My Opinion (for opinion two/more disadvantages than advantages)此类结构是双边倾向性结构,是双边结构中的一种。
对于大多数中国学生来说,双边结构较单边结构最大的优点是论证过程比较容易扩展。
双边论证是指正文两段分别论述一下两个观点或优缺点。
可以做一个有趣的比喻,双边论证的结构就像是在打一场官司,引言段引出话题,可以看作是书记员来宣布审理的案件,正文两段分别是两个观点,可以理解为被告和原告的辩护律师来列举对自己有利的证据,结尾段得出观点,即法官在总结了被告原告律师的发言后,得出自己的答案,同意哪一方,是否定罪。

What can be done to solve the problem of watershortage? Surely, modern people frequently are plagued with this question. As for me, there are three methods as followings.(the problem of water shortage)3. Is the history of no avail to modern society? Recentdiscussions concerning the function of history haveraised some very real doubts in the minds ofcontemporary people. As far as I am concerned, we can benefit a lot form the past.(whether history is useful to cotemporary society)4. A recent survey reports that there were about one thirdof college graduates who could not find an ideal job in2005. This fact prompts us to make a thorough analysis of the root reason of this alarming phenomenon.(theissue of unemployment of graduates)5. It is generally agreed that the main responsibility ofteachers is to pass on knowledge to students. As a result, if students can do well in academic subjects, theirteachers are qualified enough. However, I assert thatassisting students in distinguishing right from wrong is more significant for teachers.(the relationship between students and teachers)6. With the development of computer technology, books, asa traditional medium, are more and more challenged.Many libraries are faced with such a dilemma, whether they should invest on computers or on books. With every aspect taken into consideration, I believe that to invest on computers would be a better choice.(investment inbooks or computers for a library)Successful body:1. One main reason for water shortage is lack of theawareness of water conservation. For example, moreoften than not we can come across such a phenomenon that a person turns a faucet on and forgets to turn it off.Precious water has been totally squandered. (theproblem of water shortage)2. Smoking should be banned without any hesitation for it israther detrimental to people’s health. Cigarette smokecontains nicotine, several cancer producing or irritatingsubstances and carbon monoxide gas. Damage to the lining of the bronchial tubes is much more among cigarettesmokers than non smokers, even when there is no obvious disease. Some of these changes are considered to bepre-cancerous. Lung function is generally reduced among cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking is a greater hazard than other factors---such as community air pollution—in the causation of lung cancer and chronic bronchitis.(nosmoking)3 Due to great strides of modern technology, dramatictransformations have taken place in our life. In the past, if we were anxious to contact friends, we had to drop in on them in person, which was inconvenient andtime-consuming. Now, fashionable cell phones can be an efficient bridge between acquaintances.(the benefit of modern technology)4. There are a lot of benefits of raising dogs. First, dogscontribute to the health of their owners. Often theirdemands for walks and play improve their owner’sexercise routine. In fact, statistics show that dog owners get more regular exercise than non-dog owners do. Also, they enhance health simply be being around to bepetted. Second, they provide a means for parents toteach their children responsibility. When parents givechildren a dog, they provide them the opportunity tofulfill the responsibilities of walking, feeding, and caring for its other needs. Finally and most important of all,dogs enhance the well-being and emotional stability of families. Older people who live alone especially rely on dogs to give them enjoyment and company. Childrenalso find a great deal of comfort in their dogs. As anexample, a family dog helps a little boy adapt when his mother leaves him with a sitter and goes towork..(advantage of keeping pets)5.lot of advantages. Firstly, after three or four years ofschooling, students can undoubtedly acquire valuableexpertise, which is essential to their future jobs. As weknow, through compulsory and optional courses,students lay a solid foundation in a particular field andare confident to solve the relevant problemsconfronted.(benefits of college education)6. By contrast, the opponents argue that its drawbacksshould not be ignored. For one thing, some existingmajors are so out of date that they serve no purpose for the future job. In such a dilemma, there is no doubt that graduation means exactly unemployment. If whatstudents learn in colleges is only theoreticalargumentation definitely unconnected with reality, what is the point in wasting such prime time? (drawbacks of college education)Successful conclusion:1. The extinction of species, the shortage of lumber anddrug ingredients, the reduction of oxygen and theincrease of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere all signal that we cannot afford to lose any moreforests.(protection of forests)2. To stop losing more forests, we should educate people,especially those who have destroyed and who are going to destroy forests for one reason or another, in why forestsmust exist on the earth. (protection of forests)雅思基础写作精讲班第5讲讲义写作的素材素材Topics:1. If a five-year old commits a crime, should his/her parents have the responsibility and are punished?

雅思考试作文试题讲解
雅思考试作文试题讲解雅思考试作文试题讲解篇一:雅思写作小作文题型分类总结雅思写作小作文题型分类总结摘要:雅思写作小作文题型一般都是图表作文,常见的几种主要类型有:表格图,曲线图,柱状图,饼状图和图画题五大类。
雅思写作小作文是雅思写作的重要组成部分。
雅思写作小作文的题型一般包括柱图和线图是每月常考的题型,饼图和表格题也是相对频率较高的题型。
偶尔也会考综合题。
图画题主要分为流程图和地图题,一般每季度轮换题库的时候会出现。
只要同学们按照固定的题目分类学习,针对性的进行复习,做到多样性和灵活性的语言使用,考生就能达到更高的分数。
在雅思课程A类小作文图表题的写作当中,考生经常会碰到图表看懂了,专家将从动态图表和静态图表的角度来详细分析雅思小作文的解题思路。
一、动态图有时间推移变化的图我们通常叫做动态图。
曲线图都是动态图,但是对于表格图,饼图和柱图却有动态和静态之分。
对于大多数的动态图我们都可以大致当作线图来处理。
动态图重点在数字变化的表达上,利用主语句型的不同和衔接关联词来展开。
写好动态图的基础是要准备好三个方面:1. 解题思路1). 表格题的动态题解题思路大致可以分为四步:①先相减(年份大的减小的);②后分类(上升一类,下降一类);③挑出极值(最大值);④挑选数值(倍数关系,变化明显的数值);2). 线图的解题思路大致分为两种:第一种:①按整条线来写(可以把相同趋势的线放在一起,也可把相反趋势的线拿来做对比);②挑选重要信息(整体趋势,起点,重点,最高点,最低点);③整体作比较。
第二种:①按时间区间来写(横轴对上去有共同拐点或交点的分为一段);②对比着写(强调交点,拐点,最高点,最低点);3). 动态柱图解题思路:把各个柱子的顶点连起来就是几条线,所以按线图方式处理;4). 动态饼图解题思路:把每种颜色看做一条线,可把相同相反的颜色放在一起写,很多时候也可以把占的比例最大的单独写一部分。
2. 基础替换词汇1). 趋势词汇上升动词类:increase, rise, grow, jump, surge, shoot up, soar下降动词类:decrease, decline, fall down, drop, sink, dip波动动词类:fluctuate持平动词类:remain the same, stabilize, remain stable, remain constant修饰动词的副词:slightly 轻微地,slowly 缓慢地,gradually 逐渐地,steadily 稳定地,rapidly 迅速地,moderately 温和地,轻微地,significantly 明显地,sharply 明显地,dramatically 急剧地,drastically 急剧地上升名词类:increase, rise, growth, jump, surge下降名词类:decrease, decline, fall, reduction, drop波动名词类:fluctuation修饰名词的形容词:slight, slow, gradual, steady, rapid, moderate, significant, sharp, dramatic, drastic2). 极值类词汇和表达最高点:reach the peak/top/highest pointIncrease to the peak/top/highest point(所有上升类的动词都可以替换掉increase)最低点:reach the bottom/lowest pointdrop to the bottom/lowest point(所有下降类的动词都可以替换掉drop)占了:occupy/make up/take up/account for/represent/constitute3). 倍数的表达方式Double 是两倍/大一倍Increase/decrease three times 增长/减少了三倍4). 大约的表达方式Approximately/About/around+数字3. 常用的小作文的趋势句式表达句式一:变化主体/图画中主体+趋势动词+副词+数值+时间区间Eg: The number of aged people over 65 increased significantly from 1 million in 1940 to 1.2 million in 2000.句式二:There be+形容词+表示趋势的名词+in+变化的主体+时间区间Eg: There was a significant increase in the number of aged people over 65 from 1 million in 1940 to 1.2million in 2000.句式三:时间+see/experience/witness+ 表示趋势的名词+in+ 变化的主体+ 数值Eg: The period from 1940 to 2000 saw an upward trend in the number of aged people over 65 from 1 million to 1.2 million.句式四:表示趋势的名词+be+seen/experienced/witnessed+in+变化的主体+时间Eg: An upward trend was seen in the number of aged people over 65 from 1 million in 1940 to 1.2million in 2000.二、静态图静态图常见的是柱图,饼图和表格题。

雅思大作文总体分为两种:说明文和议论文。
雅思说明文:it is / there is/ there are (it is true that many people eat junk food everyday.)议论文:I think that there are too many junk foods in our society.I think = I believe = I hold the opinion that = my view is 说明文一般描述的是关于社会现象或者问题,包括了或者是一个趋势的优点或者是缺点,这类文章通常都是以描述为主,基于事实描述,比较客观,不代有任何的特殊性。
就是一般我们这个社会都能够接受的论点。
议论文一般针对的是题目中的一个话题 (some people think),以及部分人对这个话题的想法(some people think, while others believe, 有些人认为。
当另外一些人认为),然后要求你是不是同意或者是发表你自己的看法(I think this is correct/true; I disagree with this)。
这类题目通常会在题目中引述一个观点,然后要求你针对那个观点,进行写作。
议论文比较基于主观事实描述,一般来说,文章的主体是以为什么而展开,,整理需要通过解释,论证从而达到一个比较合理的能够具有说服力的一个层次。
整理要展开自己的想法,并要通过论证,让读者认为你所写的是正确的,合理的。
雅思议论文通常只有两种问法:To what extent do you agree or disagree?? (你从多大程度上同意这个观点)》》》题目中一部分人只会提出对于某个问题所产生的一个看法。
整理所要进行论证就是你是否同意这么一个看法无论是采取同意的,还是不同意的写作手法,再论述的过程中必须从不同角度去验证你为什么同意或者不同意的理由。

They believe that these companies, factories and even their employees should be moved to the countryside.This is not a satisfactory solution, though.Like anyone else, people engaged by big companies and factories do cause some traffic jams if they drive cars on their way to and from work, and some of them also have difficulty finding an ideal house to dwell in. Great as the number of such employees is, they only constitute a small proportion of the entire population, which consists of more people living in the cities and working in other sectors, such as small firms and schools. In consequence, moving those in big companies and factories to the countryside may ease the transportation and living conditions to a certain extent, but it will not lead to a radical change of the already-existing situation.Moreover, the real cause of traffic and housing problems is that the infrastructure at the moment cannot meet the demand of the rapid development of the cities. Moving companies and employees out only brings about a temporary solution, but does not affect a long-lasting cure. Policies should be made to allow more roads, overpasses, and skyscrapers to be built so as to accommodate the increasing number of automobiles and citizens.In conclusion, actions to implement the improvement of the current traffic and housing problems should await the participation of governments, big and small companies and factories, and people from all walks of life rather than that of a small proportion of employees.❶ 典型结构——同意与否• 开头段写作 In major cities, problems with transportation and living conditions are problems most people have to face every day.Some people hold that the principal reason for these problems lies with the big 话题引入1对反方观点的驳2对己方观点的论3重申己方观点480 90 4050companies and factories located in the city proper.

(个人观点)•主体段写作From the time they are little girls, females learn about nurturing.First with dolls and later perhaps with younger brothers and sisters, girls are given the role of career. Girls see their mothers in the same roles and so it is natural that they identify this as a female activity.Boys, in contrast, learn competitive role far removed from what it means to nurture.While boys may dream of adventures, girls conditioning means they tend to see the future in terms of raising families.In addition, we needn’t directly associate clothes with our cultural heritage.C hina’s glorious civilization can be illustrated in many different ways, and some ofthem are vanishing.For example, in order times, the Spring Festival was always accompanied by the sound of firecrackers. But now, many cities have banned them. Tradition, including clothing, is changing.。
