接著,制作過(guò)程中的細(xì)節(jié)按照先后順序鋪開(kāi),并結(jié)合被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)與準(zhǔn)確的動(dòng)詞選擇:“The resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened, and then broken up and ground into powder. Other substances were then introduced, including…。 . In the last stage, the heated Bakelite was poured into a hollow mould of the required shape …”,其中的”cool, break, grind, pour”等動(dòng)詞都是在工作流程中的高頻詞匯?!皌hen, in the last stage”也可以作為極好的連接過(guò)渡詞。

劍五Test 4 Reading passage 2關(guān)于強(qiáng)化玻璃的說(shuō)明文中也有類(lèi)似的描述句式:“… used to make glass, and nickel can also be introduced by fragments of nickel alloys falling into the molten glass. As the glass is heated, these atoms react to form …”

其中的“be used to, introduce, melt, heat”也都可以用在描述中。

3.圖表的描述

由于閱讀文章中也不乏對(duì)于數(shù)據(jù)的說(shuō)明,我們也很容易找到可以在雅思圖表作文中使用的句式。

劍四 Test 2 Reading passage 2中的一段“According to…, 18% of patients…; 12% suffer from…, which is only 1% more than those…。 . Those suffering from… represents 7% of their patients, and candida sufferers represent an equal percentage. … represent 6% and 5% respectively, and a further 4% see… “

這是一段很好的排序段范例,在描寫(xiě)數(shù)據(jù)的同時(shí)也比較了大小,句式變化多樣,考生也不妨學(xué)習(xí)一下。

4.辯論文章觀點(diǎn)的表述

盡管沒(méi)有與雅思寫(xiě)作辯論文章完全對(duì)應(yīng)的形式,閱讀文章中也有很多可以效仿的觀點(diǎn)表述句式,與學(xué)生動(dòng)輒“some people think…”的單調(diào)表述相比,其表達(dá)生動(dòng)多樣。在此進(jìn)行了一些總結(jié):

如“… reject this, pointing out that… ”, “When it comes to…,…”, “… believe the main reason for… is…”, “there is a widespread belief that…”, “It was once assumed that…。 . However,…”, “There is an abundance of evidence to support the belief that…” , “the answer to… depends on…”,等。

總之,作為較為正式的英文表達(dá),雅思閱讀是極好的寫(xiě)作模仿對(duì)象。考生可以從閱讀文章里汲取許多好的句式,以克服在日常寫(xiě)作中“中式英語(yǔ)”的問(wèn)題。

5. 用詞

雅思寫(xiě)作對(duì)詞匯的要求主要是準(zhǔn)確性和多樣性,許多學(xué)生對(duì)這一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)沒(méi)有明確的認(rèn)識(shí)和把握,而在閱讀文章中可以很清楚地了解到什么樣的詞匯更適合書(shū)面表達(dá)。
