Writing Task One:
#题目回忆#据考生回忆,此次考查的是柱图,描述的是欧洲五个国家在两个不同年份人口出生率的变化情况。
#题目分析#雅思备考官方指定教材共有三篇柱图,页码分别为C5P52、C6P98和C7P78。当我们仔细翻阅这三道题目时,不难发现此次考查内容跟C7P78惊人的相似:本次考查的是欧洲五个国家,书上给出的是五个不同的城市;本次着眼点在人口出生率,书上描述的是房价的涨跌状况。
#写作建议#柱图和线图是关系最近的一对好友,所以关于变化趋势不得不提及的“上升、下降、波动、最大值、最小值、保持稳定”的英文表达大家必须熟练掌握。建议诸位考生传统的三段式:introduction-改写题目;body-客观描述主要数据的变化,在描述的过程中比较数据;conclusion-将数据的变化趋势进行概括。
#写作语汇#
increase;decrease;rise;fall;slow down;level off;pick up speed;maintain;drop;the trend reverses;decline;gain/lose momentum
#写作句式#
It shows figures on…;It is shown that…;It went up…, which was…, with a dramatic rise from…to…;The biggest drop of…occurred in…, which saw a decrease of…per cent, from…to…;The increase of…was disproportionately large.
#备考建议#总而言之,言而总之一句话,诸位烤鸭在备考雅思写作的过程中要高度重视官方指定教材的5-8,每次考后,很多考生都会说,自己遇到的小作文题目跟书上题目有诸多相似之处,原因何在?大家试想想,要是考试题目脱离了这几本教材,举办方岂不是搬起石头砸了自己的脚!建议大家着重练习以下题目:
C7P30: The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.
C8P30: The pie chart below shows the main reasons why agricultural land becomes less productive. The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s.
C6P52: The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000.
Writing Task Two:
In some countries, children are expected to study long hours both at and after school, therefore, they have little leisure time.
What are the positive and negative effects on the children and society as a whole?
题目解析
此题目为教育类话题,体裁为议论文下属的利弊分析类,要分别陈述将大部分时间花在学习上对社会和孩子自身的影响。
写作建议
Introductory Paragraph:
交代background information,如:Education, especially children's, is undoubtedly of vital importance to a nation's sustained economic development.
再进一步导入具体内容:In some countries, a broad swath of students spend a huge amount of time working hard not only at school but after school as well, leading to the fact that they enjoy less leisure time.
Body Paragraph One:
对孩子产生的积极影响:小孩子可扎实掌握更多深层次知识。
Children can have a thorough grasp of an in-depth knowledge.
对孩子产生的负面影响:
小孩子花过多时间在学习上可能会对成长不利。可举例说明一下,比如:长时间的sedentary lifestyle令人们担忧他们的健康状况。
The detrimental effects of working long hours on healthy growth are easy to be seen.
Body Paragraph Two:
对社会产生的积极影响:营造一种爱学习的社会风气,对整个国家的教育发展起到推动作用。
An atmosphere for study has been created, which in turn has far-reaching consequences for policymakers who decide what the government's education policies will be.
对社会产生的负面影响:长时间在学习上的专注导致学生兴趣丧失,反过来同样对教育的发展起到抑制作用。
Students who are engaging in long-hour study are likely to lose interest, leading to the fact that children's learning is inhibited. Therefore, the education system will be affected to some extent.
在整个论述的过程中,考生可采用举例论证和因果论证这两种常见也是最有效的论证方法详细展开。
Concluding Paragraph:
长时间学习对孩子自身和整个社会利弊皆有,可通过鼓励孩子在学习过程中积极参加更多的课外活动。消除弊端,把孩子朝受益的方向引领。
To conclude, there are both downsides and upsides with regard to the issue that a considerable amount of time is spent by students on study. Only when children are encouraged to participate actively in more extracurricular activities can they enjoy the benefits of working for a long time.
