最難的十道雅思議論文:論據(jù)擴展難
在上一篇中筆者為大家介紹了最難的10道雅思寫作議論文的系列文章二即第二類難題,論證結(jié)構(gòu)難,并列舉了四個題目進行了細節(jié)具體的分析,還提出了相應(yīng)的解決策略。這篇我將繼續(xù)為大家介紹這一系列文章之三,最后一類難題,論據(jù)擴展難以及其對策。
三、論據(jù)擴展難
雅思大作文的考察形式是議論文,既是議論文,勢必設(shè)計一些話題。在近幾年的考試中,經(jīng)過研究分析發(fā)現(xiàn),雅思議論文最關(guān)注的是教育類的話題,此外科技類,媒體類,文化類,政府類,交通類等都有牽涉。但是面對那么多的話題和題目,能夠做到在幾分鐘之內(nèi)就想出充足合理有說服力的理由是很困難的一個任務(wù)。況且有時考題所出的題目非常偏,考生根本無法想到任何相關(guān)的理由。所以所謂的論據(jù)擴展難,就是指考生在面對有些議論文的難題時,毫無頭緒,無法擴展出論據(jù),因為雅思寫作的考題有個特點是題目出的很細節(jié),有些具體抽象的話題也涵蓋其中,所以沒有一定的積累的考生在面對這些問題的時候很難找到合理的理由來進行支持,繼而使文章內(nèi)容淺顯沒達到要求而導(dǎo)致拿了低分。
下面列舉幾題來熟悉一下此類題目:
1. Nowadays, some universities offer students skills that assist them to find employment, but some people believe that the main function of a university should be to provide students with access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?
2. In many countries the number of elderly people is increasing fast. Does this trend have more positive or negative effects on the society?
3. One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a cars uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
上面三個題目難點在于如何擴展文章。一般考生拿到此類題目都有些不知所措,不知如何擴展正文的論據(jù),覺得此類話題不熟悉,或者過于理論,沒有支持的理由,比如第一題,通過審題,是關(guān)于大學(xué)傳授知識和大學(xué)傳授找工作的技能的雙邊論證,很多考生認為大學(xué)本來就是傳授知識的地方,要找到合理的論據(jù)進行擴展非常困難。專家認為應(yīng)對此類題目,就是要以具體對付抽象和理論,考生可以列舉一些例子,如通過大學(xué)的知識傳授為將來的就業(yè)、生活的改變以及心理上的成熟等都起了重要的作用,而大學(xué)傳授技能也是由于就業(yè)的嚴峻形勢所迫。我們可以將提綱列舉如下:
It is believed that the basic mission of universities is to conduct research and provide education based on it.
First, a good command of basic knowledge lays a solid foundation for other courses.
Second, through basic and theoretical courses, students can learn to improve their self-study as well as problem-solving ability.
