作文是雅思考试中得分较低的一种题型,究其原因,除了平时缺少练习之外,同学们还缺乏一定的写作技巧。
01
在雅思写作中,我们需要使用正式的学术语言,所以尽量避免频繁使用较为口语化的表达,如r eally, so , a lot , very.
例子:
1.Many IELTS candidates think that achieving Band 8.0 in IELTS is very hard.
=>Many IELTS candidates think that achieving Band 8.0 in IELTS is difficult.
2.Robot-driven car is really controversial
=> Robot-driven car is controversial
3.A lot of IELTS learners share their great tips on IELTS writing, speaking on IELTS Material website.
=> Many / A great number of / A multitude of IELTS learners……
02
避免频繁使用 There is / There are;我们在写作的时候,可以使用一个简单句直戳重点,去掉多余的单词。
例子:
There are many issues that students have to face at university
=> Students face a multitude of issues at university
03
确保句子准确度的前提下,写出多样化句式;在众多句型中,复合复杂句是最难的,不过就算你语法基础薄弱,尝试用一系列的简单句、复杂句和复合句相结合来写一篇文章,也可以得到一个很好的分数。这个关键就在于句子类型和句子长度要灵活多变,使得文章自然流畅。看一个下面的例子:
Firstly, children watch too much TV. It’s bad for their health. It can make them addicted. They will spend too much time indoors. This can make them fat.
这个例子就是句子太短,我们可以把句子连接在一起,构成一个复杂复合句。
=>Firstly, children watch too much TV, which is bad for their health. This habit can cause them to become addicted, resulting in them spending too much time indoors and thus getting fat.
04
牢记地道固定搭配;大家在准备雅思考试的时候总会学习很多的词汇,这对于我们提高英文理解是十分重要的,然而有些时候,“知道一个词语的含义”和“会使用它”还是有一定区别的。当大家学习词汇的时候,一定要注意的是什么样子的搭配会常常在一起。
例子:
1. Verb + thought:
Spare a thought for 想到,替……着想
Spare a thought for all those who are homeless on a cold night like this.
想到那些在寒冷的夜晚中无家可归的人。
Hear one's thought 聆听……的想法
Have you given the new proposal any thought yet? We’re keen to hear your thought
你有没有考虑新提议了吗?我们渴望听到你的想法吗?
The thought occurs to someone 某人有了一个想法
The thought just occurs to me that it’s mum’s birthday tomorrow and we haven’t got her a card.
我突然间想到明天是我妈妈的生日,我们还没有给她卡片呢。
Gather one’s thought 理清思路
The President was taken aback by the question and took a minute to gather his thoughts.
总统被这个问题吓了一跳,并用一分钟的时间来理清思路。
2. Noun + preposition + thought:
great deal of thought 很多想法,大量思考
Shirley doesn’t devote a great deal of thought to her appearance.
雪莉对她的外表没有太多想法。
freedom of thought 思想自由
Some places don’t encourage freedom of thought.
有些地方不鼓励思想自由。
school of thought 思想派别
One school of thought contends that modern man originated in Central Africa.
某学派认为:现代人类起源于非洲中部。
train of thought 思路,思绪
Sorry, where was I?
I’ve lost my train of thought.
对不起,我说到哪里了?我刚刚没了思路
05
不要在学术写作中使用缩略形式
Don’t => do not
Can’t => cannot
Mustn’t => must not
Couldn’t => could not
Wouldn’t => would not
Isn’t => is not
Haven’t => have not
Hasn’t => has not

英文句子结构分类详解
;了解简单句和复杂句式的区别很重要,大家不需要知道术语,但是需要有能力自己完成一个句子的写作,了解以下句子类型可以帮助你避免许多基本的写作错误。
片断句(不完整的句子)
这是雅思考生经常犯的错误:缺少句子成分的句子片断是不可以单独成句的,因为它并不具备成为一个完整的独立分句的要素。
记住,一个英文句子至少要有主语和谓语。
有时看起来像一个句子,但是当我们仔细研究时会发现它缺少了许多很关键的成分,因此它并不能成为一个独立的句子。
例子:
1.The doctor worked round the clock. Operating on the boy.
2. As India has entered the WTO. The local entrepreneurs are faced with both challenges and opportunities.
我们怎么改正这些句子呢?
=>The doctor worked around the clock, operating on the boy.
=>As India has entered the WTO, the local entrepreneurs are faced with both challenges and opportunities.
两个独立主句之间用逗号连接,这是很多考生会犯的错误。记住,逗号不能连接两个独立的句子,需要添加连接词来使它变完整,或者使用分号或者连接副词。
更重要的一点,想在雅思写作中拿高分,你不需要对所有标点符号的使用都了如指掌,了解逗号和句号的使用方法就足够了。
例子:
1. Van Gogh is a world-famous artist his paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
2.Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet, his most famous poem is Howl.
我们怎么改正这些句子呢?
=>Van Gogh is a world-famous artist whose paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
=>Van Gogh is a world-famous artist. His paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
=>Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet, whose most famous poem is Howl.
=>Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet. His most famous poem is Howl.
比如:The dog was hungry, he wanted some food.
我们可以用很多方法来改正它:
=>The dog was hungry; he wanted some food.
=>The dog was hungry. He wanted some food.
=>The dog was hungry, and he wanted some food.
