【雅思写作】审题三部曲之第一部

2017年07月05日 IPENGLISH黄老师


昨天我们说到了审题常见的问题,今天咱们继续来聊聊这些问题怎么解决。


首先,当我们拿到了一个题目以后,一定要带着特定的目的来看,也就是需要抓住题目中的重点,否则的话无的放矢的读题目容易遗漏信息。


信息遗漏在雅思写作里面可是一个大忌,无论你要多少分,只要遗漏了题目里哪怕是一部分的信息对你的最后分数都会有一个毁灭性的影响。


让咱们来看看写作评分标准里说的原话:


我们可以看到,6分往上走,就都需要大家address all parts of the tasks了,也就是如果在审题的时候漏了题目中的其中某一点,这里就不是ALL PARTS!!!了,这一项的分数自然也就掉到5分以下了。


就是因为在人群中少看了你一眼~不是吗? 雅思可是很傲娇的哦~


废话了那么多,接下来还是办正事吧~所以说


究 竟 怎 么 审 题 呢 ?


咱们先来看一个剑桥上的题目:

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.  Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?  


假设,这里我有个观点,我们一起来看看这个观点放在这篇文章里行不行,算不算是跑题了。


(为了大家更加的能够直观的理解,咱们这里的观点用中文来表达)


观点1:中学生比小学生学习外语的优势是他们接受到的教育更加的系统,所以学习外语的效率会更加的高效。


上面这个观点,如果说不放在咱们题目里,是肯定肯定没有问题的。


但是,如果放在我们的这道题目里,那就是大错特错了!!!


为什么呢?举个例子,比如你一个朋友问你,你觉得澳洲比起中国的好处都有哪些?

然后你回答:我觉得中国吃的太不健康了,而且中国的空气质量太差了。


同学们你们觉得这算是直接回答了我们的题目吗?


并没有把,我问你的是澳洲的好处,你给我扯什么中国的坏处呢? 这样的回答,对于我们刚才评分标准图中的Task response来说并不能算是一个很好的response。


正确的回答应该是:澳洲比起中国来说食品的安全要好很多,而且空气要清新很多。


相信到这里大家都看出来问题所在了吧。咱们题目中问的是学习外语的优点和缺点,但是重点是 问的是谁的优点和缺点? 小学生的还是中学生的?


咱们这道题目翻译成中文来说,应该是小学生比起初中生来说学习外语到底是优点多还是缺点多。所以大家应该能看出来吧,这里需要我们讨论的是小学生学习外语的优点和缺点,初中生只是用来给我们作比较的,所以说如果你们在写作文的时候写Topic sentences甚至是Opinion的时候写成了初中生巴拉巴拉的话,那么恭喜你了,你已经死了。


如果不信的话,咱们可以一起来分析一下这篇文章的考官范文,


Traditionally, children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school, but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools, with both positive and negative outcomes.    

The obvious argument in its favour is that young children pick up languages much more easily than teenagers. Their brains are still programmed to acquire their mother tongue, which facilitateslearning another language, and unlike adolescents, they are not inhibited by self-consciousness.

The greater flexibility of the primary timetable allows for more frequent, shorter sessions and for a play-centred approach, thus maintaining learners’ enthusiasm and progress. Theircommand of the language in later life will benefit from this early exposure, while learning other languages subsequently will be easier for them.

There are, however, some disadvantages. Primary school teachers are generalists, and may not have the necessary language skills themselves. If specialists have to be brought in to deliver these sessions, the flexibility referred to above is diminished. If primary language teaching is not standardised, secondary schools could be faced with a great variety of levels in different languages within their intake, resulting in a classroom experience which undoes the earlier gains.There is no advantage if enthusiastic primary pupils become demotivated as soon as they change schools. However, these issues can be addressed strategically within the policy adopted.

Anything which encourages language learning benefits society culturally and economically, and early exposure to language learning contributes to this. Young children’s innateabilities should be harnessed to make these benefits more achievable.


大家可以从刚才论证的角度分析下这篇文章,这篇文章重点描述的是primary school还是secondary school?


答案毫无疑问是primary school。


所以这就引出了我们审题三部曲中的第一步也是最重要的一步了:问题对象

问题对象,顾名思义也就是每个问题所描述的对象,这个问题问的是什么,你就得写什么,虽然道理这么简单,但是根据我们刚才的分析,真正到了考试的时候,其实还是很容易出问题的吧?


下面咱们再来看一题:

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 effect on public health and that other measures are required.   

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.


好吧,时间不早了,这题留给大家自己想想,咱们会在下期揭晓这题的审题秘密。下期还会继续和大家介绍审题三部曲中的神秘嘉宾 - Mr. 第二部曲


晚安各位
