在
雅思大作文考试中,讨论并表态(discuss both views and give your own opinion)和同意与否(do you agree or disagree)都是考频比较高的题型。但是除了这两种题型,还有很多其他的题型也会在考试中出现。
题型的不同很大程度上会影响咱们的作文结构和段落逻辑。下面简单的帮大家对大作文题型做个梳理。
讨论并表态
Many countries spend a lot of money in art. Some people think investment in art is necessary, but others say money is better spent on public services and facilities. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
此类题干一定会有两个观点A/B。写作结构非常清楚,完全按照题目要求即可。
不论咱们是支持A还是B或是都支持。在行文的过程中,一定是双边论。A/B两个观点都需要在文中讨论。因为题干明确要求"discuss both views"。咱们有一个明确的评分标准叫做“task response",因此题干提出的所有要求和关键信息都需要在写作时回应。
同意与否
Advertising aimed at children should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Government should make people responsible for looking after their own local environment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
这种类型话题考频比较高,同学们应该也比较熟悉。
一段一定要明确的表态。要不就是Agree;要不就是disagree。不要中立。
主体段落写作的时候可以 “一边倒”,也可以用让步的方式来“双边论”。
利弊比较
At the present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?
In many countris, the proportion of older people is steadily increasing. Dose this trend have positive or negative effects on society?
此类题问法比较多,诸如advantages/disadvantages, positive effects/negative effects... 都属于利弊比较。写作时,“利”和“弊" 都要进行分析。
原因分析(说明文/说明报告类)
Children are facing educational, social and commercial pressures. What are the causes of the pressure? What measures should be taken to reduce it?
A large number of young people cannot find a job when they leave university. What are the main causes of this problem? Give some measures to help reduce unemployment.
此类文章跟之前的三种议论文有很大的差别,它一般不要求咱们表态,而是直接问我们 “原因” “结果” “解决措施”。
题干一般有两个问题,常出现的搭配就是“原因+措施”。
混合类
Many people are moving from rural areas to big cities. Why has this happened? To what extent do you think it is a good trend?
An increasing number of people are changing careers during their working life. What do you think are reasons of this? Is it a positive or negative development for society?
这种类型的题目也有两个问题。
之所以叫做混合类,是因为题干中的两个问题,一个需要大家给出观点(参考议论文)一个不需要大家给出观点(参考说明文)。常出现的搭配就是 “原因+利/弊”
文章结构不难,按题目问法回答就可以了,每个问题回答1-2段。
其他(特殊类型)
Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little efffects on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
The best waytosolve the traffic and environment problems is to increase the price of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
这种类型的题目,重点不在它的问法。而在于题干中的“the best way"。
如上,第二道例题,如果咱们选择“同意”,我们很难证明“一样东西或者某个方法”是好的,所以选择”disagree“才是比较合适且简单的写法.
同理,例题一,我们应该支持第二个观点,更方便咱们展开全文。
