雅思寫(xiě)作一直是困擾考生的一個(gè)難點(diǎn)和瓶頸,不論是A類(lèi)或是G類(lèi)的同學(xué),想要在寫(xiě)作中取得7分以上的高分是非常困難的事情。就考試本身而言,Task 2的得分起著關(guān)鍵的作用。在接下來(lái)的文章里,筆者并不是要探討大作文的全盤(pán)攻略,而是圍繞一種特殊的寫(xiě)作思路和切入點(diǎn)來(lái)詮釋它在議論文中的運(yùn)用,以期幫助大家提高大作文的得分。

“下定義”,可以給讀者一個(gè)直觀的概念或者清晰的思路,并且有利于后文的發(fā)展,而它本身并非只是字典上的解釋,可以靈活使用。接下來(lái),將介紹一些它在大作文不同階段里的應(yīng)用:

(一)引言段中的應(yīng)用

1. Globalization

Globalization—the international spread of products, ideas and information—is bringing the world closer together. But globalization is not a new concept. For thousands of years,nations have roamed the earth in search of new markets and new sources of raw materials for their own industries.

關(guān)于“全球化”這個(gè)名詞,考生并不陌生,但是如何用合理的語(yǔ)言來(lái)賦予它一個(gè)含義,這并非易事,上述的引言段就很好地做到了這一點(diǎn),先是從字面上詮釋了“全球化”的定義,進(jìn)而又從實(shí)際生活角度賦予了它另外一層含義。

2. Telephone/Mobile phone

Imagine using smoking signals,carrier pigeons or riders on horseback to send an important message. Although those methods may sound strange,years ago people used them to communicate. Today,all a person has to do is pick up a telephone/mobile phone.

對(duì)于電話這一現(xiàn)代通訊工具,地球人都知道它是干嘛的,不過(guò)呢,我們可以從對(duì)于電話功能的定義上做文章,同樣也可以賦予它一個(gè)生動(dòng)的含義,并且一下子可以吸引讀者眼球。

3. Studying abroad

Every year,students around the world leave behind the comforts of home to pursue a study-abroad experience in a foreign country. While many would say that studying abroad is advantageous,some would argue otherwise.

出國(guó)留學(xué)同樣是一個(gè)非常熟悉的話題,若直接用字典上的定義直接去解釋它顯然多此一舉,因此,我們不妨從側(cè)面突破,通過(guò)引入大量學(xué)生出國(guó)留學(xué)的事實(shí)和目的來(lái)詮釋這個(gè)再也不能熟悉的話題,同樣可以起到很不錯(cuò)的效果。

4. Success

As Thomas Edison once said,“If you wish to succeed,you should use persistence as your good friend, experience as your reference,prudence as your brother and hope as your sentry. ”This essay is going to look at factors that constitute success.

“如果你希望成功,當(dāng)以恒心為良友、以經(jīng)驗(yàn)為參謀、以謹(jǐn)慎為兄弟、以希望為哨兵?!边@是偉大的美國(guó)發(fā)明家愛(ài)迪生曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)的一句話,借助名人名言來(lái)下定義又是一種非常有效的開(kāi)頭方式,這樣做一方面揭示了文章接下來(lái)的主題,另一方面也增強(qiáng)了說(shuō)服力,可謂是一舉兩得。
