Q1.大作文的写作分段方式除了四段、五段式还有其他的吗?
在真题的 Model Answer 中和我们的七代教材的 Model Essays 里,基本上采用四段和五段式,目前只有 C9 里有一篇 GT 范文为六段式结构。
Q2.题目中常见的陷阱词或者容易失分的点都有哪些?
(1)晦涩的题目,如 Millins of dollars are spent on space research every year.Some people argue that the money should be spent on improving living standards on Earth.Do you agree or disagree? The use of mobile phone is as anti-social as smoking.Since smoking is banned in certain places,using mobile phone should be banned as well.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
(2)忽略主干,如 some people think that older schoolchildren should learn wide range subjects and develop knowledge,other people think that they should only learn a small number of subjects in details.Discuss and give your own opinion.
(3)忽略比较,如 Some people believe that people who read books can develop more imagination and language skills than those who prefer to watch TV.To what extent do you agree oe disagree?
Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists,not local people.
Why is this the case and what can be done to attract local people.
(4)忽略词,如 Some people believe that to become the vegetarian is the only way to keep healthy.Do you agree or disagree?
(5)忽略修饰限定,The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this issue?
Some people think it is more important to plant more trees in open area in towns and cities than provide more housing.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
(6)雷同题目,如 In most countries,prison is the most common solution for the problem of crime.However,the more effective solution is to provide people with better education so that they do not become criminals.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Traffic and housing peoblems in major cities can be solved by moving large companies,factories and their employees to the countryside.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
(7)忽略因果,如 Researchers show that overeating is as harmful as smoking.Therefore,advertising for food products should be banned,in the same way as the cigarette advertising is banned in many countries.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Q3.如何保持 Task Response 单项的 7 分或者更高分?
建议多看一些真题和机经,多研究题目中真正的考点和题目的落脚点所在,弄清题目真正靠的是什么。范文参考除了常规的教材外,可以参考“三分钟学雅思”唐伟胜老师的雅思写作范文。
Q4.雅思写作中 Discuss Both Views 的时候开头段要不要给点观点?
Discuss Both Views 可以在开头写也可以在结尾给观点,但是 Agree or Disagree 一定要在开头给观点。
前雅思写作考官的回复原话:If the question is “to what extant do you agree or disagree?”,and then I will be happy enough just to see a position in the first paragraph of the essay.However,where the question is “discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.”I wouldn't necessarily want or need a position at the end of the first paragraph,but I would expect one in the conclusion.For other more obscure question,again,I wouldn't necessarily expect it in the first paragraph,but definitely in the conclusion.
Q5.在 5-5.5 分的典型中国考生,在四项评分标准上最常出现的问题是什么?
Task Response,审题不清,偏题严重。
