雅思寫作如何準(zhǔn)確構(gòu)建雙邊文章
雅思寫作的雙邊討論型文章一直是老師和學(xué)生較為推崇采用的寫作結(jié)構(gòu),除了寫作題目本身出題的偏好性 —— 多以兩面討論為主,清晰的結(jié)構(gòu),多角度的思路更利于學(xué)生在較短的時(shí)間里構(gòu)建出符合字?jǐn)?shù)要求和題目立意的文章。但是,筆者在教學(xué)中發(fā)現(xiàn),盡管一些學(xué)生在規(guī)定時(shí)間內(nèi)完成了達(dá)到字?jǐn)?shù)的文章,卻仍然不能取得理想的分?jǐn)?shù),與其交流分析后發(fā)現(xiàn),多半是對(duì)題目意圖理解不夠明晰,“言不對(duì)題”成為了學(xué)生的普遍弊病。許多學(xué)生對(duì)于“雙邊”的理解過于籠統(tǒng),常常抓住題目某個(gè)字眼,簡單構(gòu)建贊成和反對(duì)的主體結(jié)構(gòu),或是一味認(rèn)為“雙邊”就是“利弊”,因而導(dǎo)致偏題甚至離題。
針對(duì)這種現(xiàn)象,專家分析了近年的考題,對(duì)雙邊討論型文章的架構(gòu)進(jìn)行了較為明確的分類,以幫助學(xué)生更好地分析題目,更為準(zhǔn)確地構(gòu)建雙邊結(jié)構(gòu)。
一、利弊分析
09.1.17 Nowadays, people in some countries can choose to live and work anywhere they want, because of the improvement of the communication technology and transport. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
此類題目中常有利弊字眼,或者在指令部分提出進(jìn)行利弊對(duì)比分析,常見詞如“advantage, benefit, usefulness(好處);disadvantage, drawback, limitation(壞處)等”,考生只需對(duì)題目細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行把握,弄清主旨,再構(gòu)建“好處”—— “壞處”的主體部分,列舉觀點(diǎn)。
該題主要就“人們可以隨意選擇生活和工作的地方”的現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行討論,考生可多聯(lián)系社會(huì)現(xiàn)狀,總結(jié)利弊即可。

二、補(bǔ)充說明
09.2.28 Some people believe that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others think that this has little effect and other measures are required. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
此類題目特點(diǎn)十分突出,一方面有“the only, the most…”等強(qiáng)調(diào)字眼,另一方面提出“other”的其他觀點(diǎn),細(xì)想之下,后者似對(duì)前者的補(bǔ)充,主體段可先對(duì)前者進(jìn)行承認(rèn),但不要承認(rèn)其絕對(duì)性,為后文做好鋪墊,在論述另一方面時(shí),主要使用列舉法進(jìn)行說明。
該題是對(duì)“如何提高公眾健康”的措施進(jìn)行討論,首先可分析建設(shè)體育設(shè)施的好處所在,再列舉一些其他有效措施,便可以達(dá)到兩面兼顧又不至于偏頗的目的。
