【跟着沪江走,高分在招手】·【雅思备考·写作篇】

在雅思写作中,一旦确定了topic,接下来就要确定写作的task。

Task会告诉你应该怎样回答题目中的问题。

在分析题目时,task是很重要的一部分。因为写作成绩的25%是基于“Task Response”。

How do I identify the task?

你是否回答了题目中的问题,考官会评价你的“Task Respond”的标准,答案不全面会影响你这部分的分数。

我们来看一下在上一篇中用到的例子。

The crime rate among teenagers has increased dramatically in many countries.

Discuss some possible reasons for this increase and suggest solutions.

在上一篇中,我们确定了topic是‘teenage crime’。

Task(what you have to do)通常出现在题目的结尾处。

在这一题中,你需要做的是‘Discuss some possible reasons for this increase and suggest solutions’。

这在雅思作文task2中很常见,题目通常会对你的作文所包含的内容作出要求。

这一题要求你的作文包含两方面内容:

1. Why teenage crime has increased

2. Ways to solve this problem

 你要在作文中讨论这两个问题,而且这两个问题的篇幅应该是差不多的。

写作时注意以下几点,这几点会拉低你的分数:

1. 只写reasons或solutions;

2. 提到reasons的篇幅和提到solutions的篇幅差距太大;

3. 作文中既没有reasons也没有solutions。

所以审题尤其重要,要确定作文所包含的内容。

A Common Mistake

考生通常会犯一个错误,那就是一开始就急于完成,以至于写作的内容不当。

但如果你先确定了写作内容,接下来就会组织好你的语言。可能你会想出几个犯罪率上升的原因,如'lack of parental supervision'‘boredom’等等。

但如果你写‘more young people being put in prison'或是 ‘stress for their parents',就不对了。因为这些是problems而不是reasons。

Other Question Types

上一题目非常简单,很容易确定作文所写内容。

但在考试中会遇到一些比较难的题目。

大家看下面的例子:

Advances in technology and automation have reduced the need for manual labour. Therefore, working hours should be reduced.

To what extent do you agree?

同样,我们要看题目结尾处的要求。

首先要表达是否同意'working hours should be reduced'或是‘ automation (machines) takes over from some human’s duties’。同时还要说明‘how much you agree or disagree ’("to what extent")。

如果你想表达观点的两面性,那么就要列出同意的理由以及不同意的理由。换句话说,你的文章要包含两部分:

1. The advantages of reducing working hours

2. The disadvantages of reducing working hours

而且在开头和结尾时要表明自己的观点。
