雅思写作有小作文和大作文两部分租场,两部分的时间合计为60分钟。由于大作文所占的分数比重是小作文的两倍,同时该部分A类与G类考题内容以及问题形式趋于一致,也是中国考生错误比较密集的部分,所以接下来的内容将围绕着大作文部分展开。下面我们就来看看在大作文中,考生常会犯的错。
雅思写作考生常犯错误
一、语言化
根据能量守恒定律(Law of energy conservation),即“各种能量形式互相转换是有方向和条件限制的,能量相互转换时其量值不变,表明能量不能被创造或消灭”,人们在使用语言描述事物变化时,应尽可能避免语言过于化,尤其是在使用第二语言进行正式的书面表述时,更应该注意该语言中非化表达方式的学习,这样才能尽显文章内容的客观性。
二、只回答部分问题
An increasing number of people are moving and living in big cities. Why is this case? Is it a positive or negative trend? (2010年1月23日 G类) 该题有两个问题,很多考生在作答时忽视了问,只回答第二问,抑或是把问和该现象积极的一面混为一谈,如:
On the one hand, living in big cities brings about a considerable number of advantages, which is also why people move to big cities. Initially, it is undeniable that work conditions in big cities are usually better that those in countries and small cities. With more work opportunities and a higher level of salary, people in other places, especially the young, are inclined to move to big cities. Subsequently, not only does living in big cities offer people better work conditions, but also it affords dwellers with facilities of higher quality. These facilities, such as the premium hospitals and education resources, are extremely attractive to countryside people and those in small cities. (考生答卷)
三、跑题、偏题严重
如Some people think that foreign tourists abroad should be charged more than local people to visit a country’s cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2011年4月30日A类)
就该题而言,很多考生将意思是“收费”的charged一词理解为“控制”,而该词是我们在中学阶段就已经学习过的。这就很容易导致作文跑题,而跑题的作文分数为5分。
四、文章没有分段
产生该问题的原因主要有:1. 观点数量少;2. 不知道观点如何展开;3. 写作速度太慢。那么,要在规定时间内满足字数要求,考生需要想出足够多的观点,学习如何展开观点,熟练运用复杂句并提高写作速度。
