如何利用一个非常简单的单词:draw与介词的搭配,在作文中地道地表示多种含义。下面小编就和大家分享雅思写作中的小词大用,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思写作中的小词大用
01 draw one’s attention:“令某人注意某事物”
例句:The economic rise of China and India draws ever more attention.
中国和印度经济上的崛起引起越来越多的关注。
在写作中的应用:
在写大作文时,开头段中需要引出背景和话题,此时就可以使用sth.draws more attention这个搭配了。
需要注意的是,很多中国同学在写开头段的时候非常喜欢使用“with the development of the society”,但是这个表达其实是会被考官扣分的模板化表达,使用之后6分就没有希望了。
02 draw up:“写出,草拟,制定”
例句:He has drawn up a vacation plan.
他已拟出假期计划。
在写作中的应用:
大作文中的report题型,往往需要同学们在文中分析一个社会现象的原因以及解决措施。
而在表达措施时,我们往往可以从政府角度切入,例如:政府可以拟定政策来解决……问题。
此时我们就可以用到这个词组:The government needs to draw up a policy that …
03 draw in:“吸引”
例句:Cruise lines are trying to draw in younger passengers and families with lower prices, as well as things like ice-skating rinks and cinemas.
除了增设溜冰场和电影院以外,众游船公司还通过更低的价格来尝试吸引更年轻的乘客和家庭去游玩。
在写作中的应用:
表示“吸引某人”时,同学们第一反应会用“attract”这个单词。
但为了在作文中升级为较不常见的表达或是避免重复,可以用“draw in”来做替换。除了draw in,此处也可以使用appeal to来替换表达。
04 draw on:“利用”
例句:The two entrepreneurs say that they still draw on their business school experience to move the company forward.
这两位企业家表示,他们仍运用在商学院中学到的经验推动公司的发展。
在写作中的应用:
表示“运用”的时候,最常见的表达是“use”, “apply”,以后可以替换成draw on。
另外,此处也可以使用make use of和take advantages of来替换。
这些词组不仅记起来简单,而且在实际考试中能够体现出用词丰富性,起到非常好的替换作用。今天塔塔老师的分享就到这里,希望大家可以学以致用,升级表达。
雅思考试写作高频素材分类
1. 环境类
1). Individuals Vs Government/Company个人与政府或公司关系
It is only the government that has the force to stop factories from polluting rivers and contaminating soil. Also, the government can offer an enormous amount of money as a reward to the first individual or company that comes up with a viable, environment-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Besides, apart from governments, very few people are financially sufficient to combat large-scale/disastrous environmental accidents, such as the oil spill at Mexican Gulf in 2011.
Even if governments launched seemingly protective measures, they would not make any difference until individual citizens were fully aware of the importance of environmental preservation and willing to make their share of contribution. Besides, the influence exerted by relatives or friends is far more effective than the effort made by the government.
2). Causes of environmental problems 导致环境问题的原因
Growing reliance on private cars will lead to an increase in the consumption of fossil fuels. As a result, there will be an increase in the emission of greenhouse gas, such as carbon dioxide. In other words, people’s unwillingness to sacrifice comfortable modern lives is one of the leading causes behind all the environmental problems.
2. 政府投资
1). Investment on art (subjects)政府在艺术方面投资
2). Investment on space exploration 政府在太空探索领域的投资
Enhancement of public facilities is closely related to people’s life quality. If bus and rail services were more reliable, commuters would spend much less time getting to and from work.
However, admitting the importance of public facilities is not the same as denying the importance of art development. In fact, art is much more tied to people’s everyday life than expected. Without art, people would have to wear the same clothes, live in the same buildings and watch monotonous movies. With governments financially supporting artists, they will be able to be less concerned about earning bread but pay more effort to create wonderful diversity in people’s lives.
3. 媒体
1). Effects of violence in TV or movies 电视电影中暴力情节的影响
A: Media violence is a natural way for people to release/combat stress, as they can have an escape from daily work and routine when immersed in the excitement of punching and fighting. In addition, children who are sheltered from violence don’t have that safe outlet and can have a harder time dealing with violent emotions as they get older.
B: Young viewers have an instinctive desire to copy behavior of people whom they admire. If they are excessively exposed to violent scenes, the possibility is relatively high that they take the use of violence for granted to solve problems.
2). Advantages and disadvantages of ads两方面讨论广告的利弊
A: Advertisements about new products keep customers informed about the new developments in the industry. They help to provide information of the newly launched products. Advertising is a complicated task and a lot of people are involved in the making of an advertisement. Research team, design team and many other people are required to make and deliver it. So, advertisements generate employment for a lot of people.
B: A certain proportion of advertisements lead people to impulsively buy something that they do not really need by inviting stars or exaggerating the effects of a product or service.
雅思写作细节--再为高分添色彩
雅思考试中总会有同学抱怨自己一战二战写作分数提高不明显。可参加雅思考试的同学们有没有反思自己忽视的那些细节。西方有句谚语"小行为看大人格",意思是我们可以从一个人行动的细微末节处,观察到此人的大致性情,人格特点。这句话也同样适合于雅思写作中。作为写作老师,学生们"多姿多彩"的习作我早已屡见不鲜。久而久之,把学生在写作过程中常犯、易犯、复犯的问题都总结出来,就此略点一二。
基本上所有培训机构的老师都会在开班上给学生介绍雅思考试,涉及到写作的话,都会牵扯到评分标准 -- 这个是毋庸置疑的。例如:TA/TR(写作任务的完成/回应)、CC(连贯与衔接)、LR(词汇资源)以及GRA(语法范围及其精确度)。在我们的反复灌输下,学生的思想潜移默化地被这些大方向拽着前行,往往会忽略掉其他的小细节。
格式,是首当其冲的问题。从收集学生的习作中不难发现,很多学生在没有被提前告知格式规范的时候,出现的问题往往较为严重。最常见的莫过于采用"缩进式"的同学每段开头空格的问题。可能是在学校接受的语文写作过多,导致开头空两个单词的情况屡见不鲜。又或者稍微接触过英语写作的同学在采用"齐头式"的文章格式时,段落之间没有空行。这样的行为在考试中,还是很吃亏的。因为在TA/TR(写作任务的完成/回应)中,有很明确要求考生做到段落清晰。何为清晰?除了我们在课堂上强调的文章架构和西方思辨逻辑体系之外,格式绝对不容忽视。其实,格式记起来很简单:缩进式--每段开头空4个字母,段落之间不空行;齐头式--顾名思义,顶头写,但,段与段之间切记空行。
再者,是缩写问题,这个虽然不在评分标准以及6项注意之内,但是在剑桥雅思真题考官评判中,很明确的指出了缩写问题。具体请大家参见雅思剑3第4套题目考官评语:There are minor examples of unsuitable register (e.g. "turned out", "disastrous" and one contracted verb form), 原文写做"The major conclusion that I've drawn using the graph is that..."。其实,按照常理也不难理解。因为雅思写作的大小作文都属于正式的学术文体,我在国外的学习和工作中写论文、交报告都没有用过缩写形式,所以于理于情,缩写真的不应该出现在正式的写作文体当中。
最后我想谈的是标点的使用问题。中国考生在雅思写作中普遍有特点,即对"逗号"的偏爱。一句话不管说完与否或表达意思是否完整,不管连词或副词,一律逗号上阵,搞得我们这些"看客"哭笑不得。实际上,如果翻阅相关的语法教材,不难发现上面对标点使用的规范。例如:一句话能表达完整的句意就需要句号收尾。尤其是在并列句中,只有连词前面才可用逗号,其他情况皆是"分号"。举个简单的例子"Some people become convinced that older people should live with their families; others hold the view that older people should live at a nursing home."在这个并列句中前后并无连词相连,所以必须用分号隔开。诸如此类的问题,还请广大"烤鸭"务必注意。
经常听到有人说"细节决定成败",其实在雅思写作评判中并没有如此夸张,因为参考者不是native speaker, 但是我想说的是注重细节却真的可以为你的成功再添一捧柴,这绝对考官对阅卷的整体印象上有加分的。最后还望广大雅思考生多关注平日的练习,和老师多做交流。
